At the annual meeting of the Cape family, the old patriarch's health was getting worse and worse, and his face was so dark that he could almost absorb light. For the nobles, the annual annual meeting is a grand event for the family. Except for a very few family members who are sent abroad and cannot return, everyone who can come back must rush back. This annual meeting is not only a summary of the past year, but also involves the issue of profit distribution in the new year.
In the past, it was impossible for Solo to be late for such annual meetings. He would return to the family early every time, and then he could compete for more dividends for himself at the annual meeting. But this time, he didn't come back. Not only did he not come back, Orness didn't come back, but there wasn't even a text message. This made people speculate that something had happened to him. Considering that he left the family to go out to do the most important thing, the family head's eyes fell on the other two heirs who returned early.
As if they were aware of this gaze, the two heirs responded generously with smiles. No matter what happened to Solo, as long as it had nothing to do with them, it was a good thing. Three heirs became two heirs, and the chances of each other becoming the head of such a huge family were much greater.
The annual meeting lasted all day. The main reason for the delay was next year's dividend distribution. After one year, some people do well and some do not do well, so the dividends these people receive in the second year will change, be more or less. It may seem that such fluctuations are measured in units of one thousandth, but looking at the entire Cape family, this one thousandth is also an astonishing wealth.
After the annual meeting, which was so noisy that it hurt my head, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the governor of Woodland State called Mr. Cappe and asked about the transaction between him and Soro. He values this deal very much. As long as he can get the position of deputy chairman of the new party committee, the last and most stubborn threshold in his political career will be passed. Otherwise, he can only work at the current level. When he is almost retired, giving him a more senior position for a year and a half will be the final affirmation of his political career.
The call was brief, and after both parties got what they wanted, Mr. Cape hung up the phone and sat behind the desk with one hand supporting his chin. Governor Woodland said that Solo had returned to the north, but if Solo did not come back, then something must have happened to him on the way. His ability to negotiate Woodland's governorship was enough to bring him closer to his position, but when he disappeared, something must have happened.
Then Mr. Capet called Solo's wife and asked her if she knew Solo's whereabouts. When he learned from Solo's wife that Solo's whereabouts had been investigated, the old man immediately understood everything. Something might have happened to Luo.
One call after another continued to come in, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, Mr. Cappe hung up the phone with a solemn expression.
The person investigating Solo's whereabouts may be from Dulin, and the person who assassinated Solo was also from Dulin. The investigation bureau at Woodland fed back a very important piece of information. Solo was assassinated locally. At that time He was safe and sound, and then he sailed back north. The local Bureau of Investigation provided the ticket stubs. When checking tickets at the destination, employees saw Solo and Ones disembarking, but then they disappeared.
Combined with the previous information, it is very likely that they are finished, and it was Du Lin's hand.
This made Mr. Cappe feel an indescribable weirdness. At that time, Solo planned to use assassination to get rid of Dulin, so that the family could take the opportunity to extend their hands into Otis City and control one of the casinos or more businesses. , to clean up the money they made through smuggling. But the assassination failed, which also made the Capet family very passive with Maggs. Then there were some minor problems between the two parties. For example, Du Lin never let go and even refuted his face.
But all this has been resolved with Magus's compromise. Why does Dulin still want to attack Solo? Was it because the grudge he held at that time was never released, or was it because... Solo provoked him again
It is really a very troublesome thing. The tough Mr. Capet, who has already seen Dulin, does not think that blindly starting a war now is the best choice. The family's focus should be on the construction of the new special zone and not be wasted on such private conflicts. superior.
And as Dulin considered, disappearance does not necessarily mean death. Before Solo's specific situation is determined, even if Mr. Cape knows that Dulin arranged for someone to assassinate Solo and succeeded, it will be of no use to him. I questioned Dulin openly about this matter because he had no evidence.
The people on Woodland's side have not confessed to Du Lin until now, so it is difficult to implicate this matter with Du Lin. Moreover, what if Zoro is okay? After a while, he suddenly popped up again. Before that, the family had already started a war with Dulin, so how would it end
Headache!
Mr. Cape only hopes to give up his position as soon as possible. He does not want to hurt himself because of these things. He also wants to live a few more years. He sighed and stood up on crutches. It was getting late and it was time to rest. He was no longer his younger self and had the courage to say no to the dark night.
The next day, Mr. Capet acted as if nothing had happened and said nothing. Now was not the time!
On the other side, Dulin is also actively preparing for some things about the New Year. The last year is about to pass. In the past year, he has done a lot of things, such as the process of Otis coming into existence, such as Turning this city into a paradise on earth has achieved huge profits and satisfied the purpose of all tourists coming here to seek change. First, we arranged for the token company to transfer the tokens to all investors, and then arranged two banquets so that everyone could celebrate the last day together.
At the same time, he also invited a famous Xie Lisi Street manager from the Imperial Capital to discuss the matter of "packaging" the entire city for listing. Being able to travel on the last day of the year, in addition to professionalism, this project of Dulin may be an opportunity for the manager to change his destiny.
"Mr. Dulin, your idea is very..." The manager named Herlanders searched in his brain for a moment before he found the word "magical", "Yes, it is very miraculous. From From the day Xie Lisi Street was born, no, from the day the stock was born, no one thought about turning a city into a huge project to go public. And your city has great potential and will definitely attract many investors. attention."
"But we are also facing some problems now. First of all, will the empire support your behavior? After all, this is against common sense. The second question is, if Otis City is listed, where will the investors' income come from, and whether there will be long-term income. Guarantee? The third question is that now that you are the mayor, you can continue to operate this project. I believe that you will not stop at the mayor, but will also become the governor and even enter the cabinet. So how can you ensure that the mayor who succeeds you can Will you continue to implement your governance concepts and policies?”
"What should your successor do if he chooses to delist if he believes that the negative impact and damage to the city's interests caused by going public and accepting investment are greater than the benefits gained? How to ensure the interests of investors?" He was very serious. This is indeed a very important question. A big plan worth joining, and if it succeeds, he will become one of the most successful managers on Sherry Street and will be included in the textbooks.
After all, he managed the listing of a city, which is absolutely an unprecedented feat.
After hearing his confusion, Dulin gave his own answer, "I will go to the cabinet to convince them to agree to my plan. The special zone does not have to act in accordance with the current laws and regulations. I have a certain degree of autonomy. As for investors In terms of dividends, I plan to establish a 'dividend warehouse'. In addition to taxes, all businesses operating in the area, including the city hall, will put some extra money into the dividend warehouse as an annual bonus for investors. Dividends.”
Herlanders nodded. Although this idea cannot be said to be perfect, it already has the ability to attract the attention of investors. He heard that the tax revenue of Otis City in the second half of this year has exceeded 70 million. In addition to the more than 50 million that needs to be paid, more than 10 million will be left in the city hall as continued development funds. Coupled with corporate profits from all aspects, if they can allocate a certain amount of income to investors, I believe many investors will be very interested in this project.
However, there are also certain problems here. For example, if the dividend warehouse mentioned by Du Lin cannot satisfy investors' desires, investors may not be interested in this special stock. If another scandal or something breaks out, it might be very troublesome.
There are many things that need to be carefully considered and discussed. Herlanders has made up his mind to pull his team over as soon as tonight is over and work on this matter with all his strength!
"As for whether my policies will be denied by later generations..." Dulin smiled confidently, "I believe that every successor will make a very wise choice to implement my governance concepts. Only in this way is it best for their interests." things.”
Yes, no one, no matter who succeeds him, wants to live well in his city without playing the game according to his rules.
All ways of playing beyond the rules are not allowed. There are so many "predecessors" who have pointed the way for them, and no one will make a mistake in this matter!
