Donald once imagined that one day he might become the master of Otis City, but he also knew that it would always be just a fantasy. For him, Dulin's existence was not only an object that he needed to learn from, but also an eternal building. A mountain that cannot be climbed.
He asked himself, if he was in another deserted city, how could he develop this city as quickly as possible and make it dazzling
The answer is no, he has no way to do this. More than ten years of political experience have taught him that the effort required for a city to be called a city from the beginning of infrastructure construction cannot be completed overnight. It takes more than ten years for many cities to achieve some results. It is simply impossible to build a city from scratch in one year.
But this thing that seemed impossible to him became possible in Du Lin's hands. It only took Dulin a year to turn this lifeless and dilapidated city into a star in the middle of the empire, attracting people from all over the world to travel here and keep their money here. People have always described the city of Otis as a miracle, and Dulin as the creator of miracles.
During this period of time, Donald actually played no role in the development and construction of the city. He did not play an active role in the construction of the city as officially promoted. He has been analyzing the reasons why Dulin and the city of Otis can become a miracle. He summarized several points, the most important of which is to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm and let them see the future within their reach. In order to seize the future, These people devote themselves wholeheartedly to the development and construction of the city.
Therefore, Donald also believes that since Dulin left behind the plan of Otis City to be packaged and listed, it is unreasonable to exclude businessmen who are not from the Otis City business group. Just because these businessmen are unwilling to withdraw from the Chamber of Commerce, we cannot deny them the opportunity to go public with the city. They have also contributed a lot here, whether it is construction or operation, there are shadows of these people.
After he told this matter at an internal meeting in the city, it immediately aroused a huge response. The response mainly came from two aspects, the business group and the chamber of commerce.
Members of the city business group believe that Donald is trampling on the "legacy" left by Dulin. He has not positioned himself as a qualified successor well. He wants to actively destroy something, which is inconsistent with everyone's interests.
The Chamber of Commerce expressed its gratitude and expectations for the development of Otis City after the new mayor takes office. The impact of an enlightened mayor on a city is absolutely huge. They are willing to cooperate with Donald's work during his administration and maintain the current booming situation in Otis City.
"Mayor Donald, your ambition and vision far exceed that of Mr. Dulin. I believe that only if we all work together can we consolidate our cause and push it to a new level!", Pu Xi stood next to Donald, holding a glass of wine, and tried his best to praise Donald's contribution to the "unlocking" of merchants in the Chamber of Commerce. Heidler stood aside, holding a wine glass, and said this to the duty speaker from the Imperial City Chamber of Commerce, looking at Puxi from time to time.
Pusey was the most active person after Dulin left Otis City. It can be said that Donald's decision to involve members of the Chamber of Commerce in the listing plan was attributed to Pusey. After his constant lobbying, Donald finally nodded in agreement with his idea and announced the news himself.
Many members of the Chamber of Commerce are surrounding Pusey. They feel that Pusey is more reliable than Handler, who rarely expresses his position. At least when they were facing trouble, Pusey had been running for their interests. They had decided to vote for Pusey in the next election and strive for him to become a member of Parliament, so active and keen on interests. It will also be of great benefit to them to have people in power.
"It seems that your position is about to be lost." The Speaker clinked the wine glasses with Heidler, and they took a sip of the wine in the glasses. He continued: "Some people have some opinions on your inaction recently and feel that You have not fulfilled your responsibilities well, and if nothing else happens, you may be embarrassed the next time you are elected.”
The general election is an important event for the General Chamber of Commerce to elect members. It is held every six years, regardless of the number of re-elections. In most cases, the results of the general election will not deviate greatly from the previous results. Businessmen are a very realistic group. They will vote for whoever can bring them business opportunities, profits and policies.
Heidler had done quite well in this area in the past. Kansas State was located in a remote area and the old and new parties were equally powerful, so he, as a member of the General Chamber of Commerce, was very important to people on both sides. He represented the interests of Chamber of Commerce members in Kansas and won Heidler's help and support. At least he would not lose points in economic construction.
But after arriving in Cosonas, the situation took a turn for the worse. Everyone's eyes were focused on the city of Otis. However, he failed to get any benefits for everyone in the huge gold sales cave in Otis City. His negative attitude Those capitalists who couldn't stand the "minority" found an opening to pour in their firepower, accusing Heidler of occupying a parliamentary position but doing nothing. They should remove him and replace him with a capable one.
Heidler didn't care about this. A few days ago, he was still considering whether to stand up and fight for some interests for everyone, but he soon changed his mind. His reserved attitude of support allowed Pusey to find an opportunity to represent everyone, and it allowed him to succeed. Heidler didn't care about this, because he thought Dulin couldn't leave so simply.
He has known Dulin for several years. It can be said that the person who knows Dulin best in the entire chamber of commerce is Hedler. Dulin has spent so much energy and effort in running this place in Otis City. It is impossible for him to be dismissed because of a dismissal order. He really didn't care about anything and left without caring about anything. He must have left a back hand here. Whoever dares to reach out first will definitely have that hand chopped off. If someone sticks his head out, that person will lose his life.
A big capitalist like Handler, who has experienced many years of overt and covert fighting, has long passed the stage of showing off his strength. Since Pusey wants to be the first, why don't he wait until Pusey is eliminated by Dulin before he has reservations? Talk to Dulin about these issues
The Speaker had been paying attention to Heidler's expression, and he keenly noticed that the old fox seemed to be really slacking off. The nonchalant expression and the contempt in his eyes made him realize that there might be something else going on, "It doesn't look like you are worried! "
"Worried?" Heidler laughed and asked, "Why should you worry?"
"If I lose my position as a member of parliament, I won't feel terrible or sad. I have reached the age of retirement and should enjoy the happiness that I have not enjoyed in the few days of my life. If I had not lost that position , I will not take the initiative to do anything, I will still fight for the benefits that can be fought for everyone, so you said that I am not worried? You are right, I am not worried at all."
"You have a good attitude, I'm very envious of you, but you have to be careful, someone is planning to cause trouble for you in terms of the fund pool."
Heidler's eyes narrowed and his expression became solemn. He nodded and added, "I understand. Thank you for reminding me."
The fund pool is one of the most attractive things about the Chamber of Commerce. If any member of the Chamber of Commerce encounters financial problems when developing and expanding his industry, he can submit a report to the local branch. The branch has specialized audit and evaluators to evaluate the report. If the report passes, it can obtain a sufficient amount of interest-free loans from the fund pool for business development.
In the past twenty years or so, there have been some problems with the fund pool, such as the incident involving the branch president who emptied the fund pool. Moreover, the system of the fund pool itself also has some drawbacks. No matter how responsible the branch president is, there will be some problems in this regard. So if you want to become a branch president, just check the fund pool.
After what had to be said, both of them were silent for a moment, the speaker asked in a low voice: "What do you think of this listing plan?" He came here because he wanted to see what Donald thought. If possible, he could Take the lead in allowing more businessmen to come to Otis City to invest before going public. Before Dulin left, he had obtained a new batch of land use authorizations from Harry, and members of the Chamber of Commerce could invest heavily in the continued expansion of Otis City.
As the members made money, the status of the Chamber of Commerce continued to rise, and the cabinet's ideas of taking back the Chamber of Commerce's business rights could only continue to fail. And doing so can also bring huge benefits to the Chamber of Commerce. Firstly, the capital pool will be sufficient. Secondly, they can make a lot of money in the stock market through various methods. These are of great benefit to the future development of the Chamber of Commerce. .
Heidler was still smiling, "Do you want to hear the truth or do you want to hear lies?"
"True?", the Speaker hesitated.
"It's largely impossible. I know Dulin very well. He is a very smart and ruthless young man. He will not allow others to put their hands into his pockets and plunder his wealth. Just wait. , something will happen within a month.”
As he spoke, the atmosphere in the venue became lively under the influence of Pusey. Donald walked towards the Speaker and Heidler with a glass of wine. Apart from him, these two people had the highest status in the entire venue today. He was the one with the highest status. The "landlord" must come over and say something.
