The news that Otis was going to be "listed" spread like wildfire. Overnight, many businessmen who had invested in Otis were so excited that they couldn't sleep all night long, just like the first night in their lives. There is no need to elaborate on the benefits of going public. The ultimate goal of every businessman in doing business is to go public. Going public can generate a large amount of cash, which can be used to develop the current company or develop another company that is not listed.
This is not a great secret in the capital market, but in any case, as long as it is listed, it means sudden wealth.
Some people are very excited, but some people are very depressed.
The businessmen in the city of Otis established the Otis Chamber of Commerce with the city as the core under Du Lin's organization. At the beginning of the establishment of this chamber of commerce, Du Lin set a rule that those who joined the Odis Chamber of Commerce would not To be allowed to join the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, one must choose between the two. At that time, Dulin did not make any move to package Otis City for listing, and there were not many restrictions on these non-Otis Chamber of Commerce merchants.
They can also invest in Otis City, and they can also enjoy the policy preferences here. It can be said that the only difference is that when the competition between the two sides is almost the same, Dulin, or the Otis City Hall, will obviously favor the businessmen of the Otis Chamber of Commerce.
Some businessmen don't care much about this. Since they dare to compete, they are not afraid of paying. Moreover, Du Lin's approach seriously challenged the majesty of the General Chamber of Commerce. The speaker of the General Chamber of Commerce has already said that if their competition in Otis City falls behind those businessmen who have left the General Chamber of Commerce and behind the businessmen of the Otis Chamber of Commerce, then the General Chamber of Commerce will provide them with certain financial assistance.
With such confidence, some people still insisted on their position and did not fall to Du Lin.
However, now they regret it, because they have no part in this capital game that represents the future. They can't even figure out whether Du Lin's head is a genius or a madman who would package a city for listing. Idea, but many people still believe that Dulin can do it.
There were many businessmen gathered in Hedler's villa at this time. These people were all staunch supporters of the General Chamber of Commerce, but the expressions on their faces were not as happy as they would have been if they had not heard the news during the day.
Heidler was sitting in an easy chair with a blanket covering his legs. The fire in the fireplace made him very comfortable, so comfortable that he almost wanted to sleep.
Fight with Du Lin
That was just a stupid and naive idea. The mayor of Namilindes, who had controlled the city for decades, died in the hands of Dulin. How could a member of the General Chamber of Commerce like him, who did not have much real power, argue with Dulin? fight
Is it because I look stupid
But he still wants to live a few more years.
If this group of people hadn't come to him to discuss how to deal with it, he wouldn't have bothered to meet with them.
"Dear Councilor Heidler, please think of a way. It's unfair for Dulin to do this to us!" The speaker was in his thirties, dressed in leather shoes and with shiny hair. He was wearing a white shirt and a brown vest, waving He crossed his arms and expressed his views with excitement, "We have also invested a lot of money in the construction of Odis City, and have contributed to the prosperity of Odis City today."
"Now is the season of harvesting success. He has no power to expel us from this circle. We should also have the same rights! This is not fair, Congressman!"
This guy's name is Pusey, and he runs a ready-made clothing store. The business is pretty good... I should say it's pretty good, at least much more than he made in Namirinds. He is a member of the General Chamber of Commerce. The General Chamber of Commerce is still very attractive to businessmen. In addition to the fact that internal information is always faster than the outside, there are also many business activities and experience exchanges. The General Chamber of Commerce is like a professional business school that continuously cultivates qualified and outstanding businessmen.
Only when every member becomes a successful person can the General Chamber of Commerce have enough capital to fight against the cabinet and refuse to be officially incorporated by the empire.
Pusey is also a very active person locally. Often members who are still in the basic stage of capital are very active. On the contrary, it is the real big capitalists, such as congressmen, who rarely express any opinions. It’s not that they can’t keep up with the times, but that they understand awe and understand that sometimes not all things can be settled with money, but there are also some things that cannot be settled with money.
Heidler opened his eyes and glanced at Poussey. He smiled, pulled the blanket higher, and used the poker to poke the firewood, and the flames became brighter.
"Have you seen these firewood?" Hedler asked pointedly. Before others could react, he picked up a new firewood and threw it in. "I put a new firewood, but you saw , the flame has not weakened much because one of the firewood has not burned, it is still burning fiercely, and this is the same as our current situation. The planning of Otis City itself is very good, which is rare in these years. Mature and well thought out.”
"Please forgive me for saying something that you don't like to hear. If you are more or less, there will be no change in this city. So under such circumstances, why should the flames accommodate you? "
"I know why you are here. After all, this is the most guests since I came here." Heidler put the fire tongs back on the shelf. He lifted the blanket and stood up, walking back and forth a few times. Step by step, people's eyes are focused on him.
"Actually, we have given up on Otis City from the very beginning..." When Heidler said this, the people around him took a breath. The branch of the General Chamber of Commerce was placed in Otis City. They thought that the General Chamber of Commerce would The Chamber of Commerce valued the city and even gave them the promise of financial assistance. But at this moment, they realized that the General Chamber of Commerce had abandoned Otis City. As for why the branch did not move out, it was mainly for the sake of face.
Some time ago, there were still some members of the General Chamber of Commerce who thought they could compete with Du Lin. They may not have much political power, and they do not use fear to gain obedience like gang members. But they have money, and sometimes money can change some people's views and positions. This is exactly what they are best at. They initially planned to use strikes as a means to force Duhring to compromise - the same means used by workers' unions and capitalists.
By then, a large number of workers will go on strike and the city's economy will come to a standstill. If Dulin doesn't want to see his city continue like this, he will definitely make a compromise. But what people didn't expect was that Dulin first expelled the workers' unions, then completely replaced the manufacturing industry with the service industry, and used his own people in some pillar industries. This makes the General Chamber of Commerce very sad. If they let all their members go on strike, then only they will lose, and it will not affect the operations of Otis City.
Coupled with the subsequent attack on Nanolindes, those people gradually lost their desire to fight with Dulin. It would be terrible to launch a commercial war with such a person who would flip the table at every turn. The past of nobles massacring merchants because of a decree has not yet become history, that happened decades ago. So they carefully chose to give up the interests of Odis City, but in order to take care of their own face, they did not move the branch away from here. They needed an opportunity and an excuse to leave in a dignified manner.
Puxi asked with some disappointment: "Then there's nothing we can do?" He was a little defeated. Faced with such a rare opportunity, they couldn't even get a penny of benefits. It was an uncomfortable feeling. The disappointment on his face grew stronger. "What if we go to protest?"
Heidler just smiled and said nothing. After he saw Dulin's power, he asked people to inquire about everything that happened after Dulin left Tenel. Among them, some businessmen from Ilian told some "interesting stories." For example, Dulin's workers in Ilian only hired Guarts, which caused the local provincial people to be very disgusted, and they planned to force Dulin to nod through a parade. As a result, on the eve of the parade, all the leaders returned to God. embrace.
In that case, someone surrendered and eventually committed suicide in the police station, but Heidler believed that this was definitely related to Dulin. When he was in Turnell, Dulin dared to challenge Wood with nothing and won. This guy not only had a keen sense of smell, but also had crazy courage.
There will be no gain in quarreling with this guy except causing trouble for yourself. If you want to die, just make trouble for Du Lin. It is obviously easier than committing suicide and being killed by Du Lin.
Handler's pity and caring look towards the mentally retarded made Pusey feel a little uncomfortable. He knew that he might have said something stupid, and at the same time, he remembered the "turmoil" that happened not long ago, and finally closed his mouth sensibly.
Heidler walked to the bar and opened a bottle of wine for himself, "Gentlemen, have you made more money here than before?" Everyone nodded, and they all made more money in just over two months. The money was more than they had made in the past six months. Heidler picked up the wine glass and took a sip. "Then what else are you dissatisfied with? We are businessmen. We only make what we can make, so why use those earnings?" Do you want to embarrass yourself if you don’t have enough money?”
Without Heidler's support, these businessmen quickly left one after another. But what they thought in their hearts was not open to outsiders.
But one thing Heidler knew very well was that after tonight, many people would withdraw from the meeting.
But this has nothing to do with him. He, as a congressman, is just a "commodity" placed on the table by some people. No matter whether it is done well or poorly, it is not his responsibility in the end.
