"Dulin has come to the west?" Memnon put down the club in his hand, took the towel handed by the caddy, and wiped the sweat from his face.
There is a heating supply in the entire gymnasium. Compared with the overall construction of a cold circulation system to cool the space, it is quite simple to increase the temperature of a house. Only a few obsidian crystals are needed to continuously release heat and maintain a considerable temperature in the entire space through the air circulation system.
The gymnasium where Memnon is located is a closed gymnasium. The glass on the dome allows the sunlight from outside to shine in. The ground is paved with high-quality turf from the south. Its life cycle is only seventy days, and it costs one dollar and twenty cents per square meter. . The entire indoor stadium is almost 9,000 square meters. It can be said that tens of thousands of dollars are spent on this stadium every two months to maintain the evergreen turf.
The original purpose of building this stadium was for capitalists to play polo or do some other interior sports during their leisure time. After Memnon arrived, this place became a place where Memnon often appeared. Polo cannot be played, but polo without horses can be played. This is a "noble sport" that has just emerged in the Federation, similar to Dulin's Dream. Golf in that world. There aren’t that many rules, and there are some differences in details, but overall the goal of the game at the end of the day is to get the ball into the hole.
After handing the club to the caddy, Memnon took off his anti-wear gloves and walked to the stands. The secretary who just reported the news followed closely behind him.
He knew Dulin, the pride of the Guarts, at least that's what everyone said for now. It is indeed not easy for a Guarte to become the mayor of a city, and he is still so young. Memnon would not think that all this was achieved by Dulin through his own efforts. There must be some big shot planning something, and Dulin was just a puppet he pushed to the front. Just like the recent accident, this puppet had no use value, so the big man behind Du Lin pushed it back to its original shape.
In Memnon's view, the purpose of this big man behind the scenes was the city of Otis. After all, openly opening a casino in violation of imperial laws and selling contraband was a very dangerous thing in itself. If the big shot does it himself, he might hit the limit, but if Du Lin does it, there won't be so much trouble.
If something goes wrong, it was Dulin's idea. He is destined to be unlucky and take all the blame for the big shot.
It succeeded without any problems, and just like now, Dulin was kicked out.
However, even if Dulin loses his official position, it cannot be underestimated. After all, he controls the most complete and largest smuggling network in the eastern part of the empire. His private wine is sold to all parts of the empire. He is very rich himself. Among the Guarts, and has a certain influence.
Memnon is not a Guart, he is an Ogdin with pure blood, but after he followed the Bloody Dawn, he also recognized the fanaticism of the Guart, so Dulin's arrival is not good news. I know what this kid will do in the West.
I walked to the edge of the stands and sat down in my seat. I rested for a while and drank a few sips of cold drinks that were naturally cooled outside. My body, which was excited after high-intensity exercise, finally gradually calmed down. He thought for a while and said to the secretary next to him: "Let someone warn him not to mess around on my territory. I welcome him to invest in the west, but I don't welcome him to come over and mess around!"
Just as the secretary was about to go to work, Memnon called him back. He planned to kidnap Alyssa and her children, and then dig out the 30 million gold that Dulin had swallowed. In the end, Mr. Kesma and Layton were killed. It led him out and made him live in fear for a long time. He has been getting along with the leader (Mr. Kesma) for several years. During these years, he has very clearly realized that it is good to mess with anyone, but don't mess with the leader.
That's a bastard who does things based on his own preferences. Whenever he feels humiliated, that's when he pulls out his gun. In most of the incidents after he pulls out his gun, it's actually just a joke. If he warned Du Lin so directly, would it make Mr. Leader feel arrogant and then mail himself a black envelope and suddenly appear in his room in the middle of the night
He hesitated for a moment, and then ordered again: "Forget what you just said, go tell Du Lin, convey my welcome to the west, and tell him that I invite him to come to my house for a chat." It is the safest approach. So far, Memnon has not figured out who is the relative of the leader, Dulin or Nasha. In the era of bloody Dawn's crazy activities, Mr. Rixma had always used a pseudonym, and rarely used it. Appearing in front of people with his true face, only a few people know his appearance, but they don't know his last name.
Even today, many people who know Mr. Kesma cannot guarantee that the surname Kesma is Mr. Kesma’s real surname. Maybe it is just a pseudonym
After the secretary left, several people who played with Memnon came over. These people didn't seem to be wearing expensive clothes, but their temperament was definitely different from ordinary people. They had a calm and confident air.
These people are several big capitalists in the state. Memnon's "Three Guarantees Policy" also benefited from cooperation with these big capitalists. It was able to operate normally for the time being and attracted a large number of followers to support him, giving him the ability to campaign. The potential power of the governor.
"Mr. Memnon, are you tired? Do you want us to change places and take a rest?" The guy who spoke was very tall and muscular but not bloated. There was a faint scar on his forehead, but it did not ruin his appearance. There is a touch of toughness and dominance in the elegance. This guy's name is Carlos, one of the directors of the Imperial Bondika Arms Group and the executive director of Bondika West.
Bondika has many industries in the west. In addition to those oil fields, there are several large steel mills and more than 20 iron ore and copper mines. It can be said that this is the production base of Bondica Arms Group. Carlos is not only a director, but also a major member of the Bondica family.
The arms business is not easy to do, especially when there is no national war and the market demand for arms is not high. Fortunately, wars break out from time to time on several other continents, giving Bondika Arms Group a sufficient market. There are some rumors that Bondika and the other two arms groups played a very disgraceful role in these wars. It can be said that they promoted the outbreak of the war, and even hired mercenaries to pretend to be local soldiers to take the initiative on the border. friction, and then trigger a local war.
Mr. Carlos can be said to be the well-deserved "number one" in the west. He has a lot of money and a large group of escorts. He can launch a small battle anytime and anywhere. He was also a very generous man, and he contributed money and efforts in Memnon's promotion of his "Three Guarantees" plan. It was only thanks to Carlos and many capitalists like Carlos that Memnon's policies could be implemented.
Memnon nodded, "We have been exercising for almost an hour and we are a little tired. Secondly, my secretary just told me that Dulin came to the west. I asked the secretary to invite him to chat with us."
"Dulin?" Carlos was stunned for a moment, "You mean the Dulin on the east coast?" He nodded, "If it's that Dulin, we can indeed invite him to join us. He's a A very powerful young man. I heard from some friends that the Navy is very close to him and even launched wartime missions for him. "
People who engage in arms development have always had a close relationship with the military. Although the Navy has lost military support from the military, they have other ways to get money. Part of the money will become the salary of the entire Navy, and the other part will be used to upgrade the Navy's equipment to ensure that it will not fall behind the times in terms of armaments. Only in this way can the navy ensure its current independent situation. Otherwise, if they fall too far behind, the empire will take care of them.
Once such a situation occurs, it can be said that no one at the top of the navy can escape, and they will eventually be sent to a military court to wait for hanging. So Carlos knew about Dulin, and he also knew some inside stories that others didn't know.
Last year, Dulin provided about 7 million in "transportation fees" for the Navy, which accounted for almost 10% of the current self-raised military expenditures of the Navy. This is definitely a very huge number, and this number is still growing. is expanding. The Navy has regarded Dulin as its most trustworthy ally. Colonel Thomas, who connects Dulin with the Navy, is said to have reached a unified understanding among the top brass of the Navy. After next year, he will be nominated to become the first military commander after the Civil War. A non-wartime promotion to rear admiral.
This shows how much the Navy attaches importance to Dulin, and he is also qualified to join this small circle with a special atmosphere in the West.
The reason why it is special is that this is the only market in the entire empire that is not occupied by the Chamber of Commerce. The folk customs and toughness here are definitely beyond the control of those in the Chamber of Commerce. After making no progress for a long time, they will I voluntarily gave up this place.
Memnon's "goodwill" was quickly learned by Dulin, and Dulin was a little hesitant about Nongmen's invitation. He wanted to meet the big housekeeper who was whipped under the horse's leg by his father, but he didn't want to get too close to him. Meet early.
Memnon still has a certain reputation in the three western states. The environment here has long established the Westerners' admiration for violence. Memnon, who has done such a great cause as the "uprising", is obviously a "man". In addition, he promoted The "three guarantees" policy has not collapsed yet, and everyone still trusts this guy.
