Cosma Empire

Chapter 585: Backhand[2]

Views:

Some people cheered for Donald's new policies, so there must be others who shook their heads for his new policies. These people were undoubtedly the capitalists who followed Dulin's footsteps during the "Dulin Era" in Otis City. They either broke away from the Chamber of Commerce, or joined an official business organization for the first time. No matter what their previous situation was, under Du Lin's call, they believed in Du Lin and followed his instructions to let them I have embarked on a fast track of development.

As a vested interest group in Otis City, if there had not been that accident, and if Dulin would not have been held responsible for the accident, they might still be sitting in the room laughing and chatting about boring topics as before. They don't need to worry about their own business. As long as Dulin is here, no one will dare to violate the rules of the game he set, no matter who that person is!

But this is no longer the Dulin era, it is the post-Duhring era, and it is also a period when Donald is eager to negate some of Dulin's important policies to achieve a political goal that is inferior to his own.

People say that you can see farther by standing on the shoulders of giants, but who knows that the first experience of truly standing on the shoulders of giants is not how far you can see, but inferiority, jealousy, and anger! Because you are insignificant, you need to stand on the shoulders of others, but you still can't see as far as others, and you still have to make an expression of excitement after accepting help or even charity from others

No, that's not what Donald wanted.

A politician who has been in politics for more than ten years before he can become mayor cannot be said to have failed. It can only be said that his speed is a bit slow, especially for a politician with a noble background. Not using any of the rich resources and connections is the biggest mockery of a politician born into an aristocracy!

In the eyes of others, Donald was promoted. From the second person in a city to the number one person, it was a huge breakthrough. But in Donald's mind, this was not achieved through his own efforts. It was a "partner" in other people's political compromise transactions, and he was not even qualified to claim the title. He also knew very well that his term was only for three years at most, and after three years he would go to a remote place as a way to compensate for Dulin's mentality.

Therefore, he must do something big in three years. Only in this way can he avoid sinking in the next four or even eight years.

Denying the predecessor's main achievements is the first priority for the successor after taking office, because only in this way can he show his foresight and vision, and change the plans left by his predecessor in the opposite way, so as to prove that he is not weaker than his predecessor. governance ability. This is not just Donald's experience. This is almost the habit of most politicians. How can we highlight our importance to this city without belittling our predecessors? Moreover, he is a "miracle worker" like Dulin. Then How could he climb that mountain without belittling him

The second mayor of the imperial capital opened two intra-city light rail transportation for the city. After the third mayor came to power, he criticized the stupidity of his predecessor and spent money on meaningless things. If we have a public transportation system, what else do we need for light rail? Then over the next seven years, the mayor not only quadrupled the size of the Imperial City, but also built twelve additional intra-city light rail lines.

They may see the same thing and have the same purpose, but belittling others can still be of great help in improving themselves.

Of course, this kind of disparagement is definitely not the kind of saying in public that the ex did not do well and what is the problem here and there. On the contrary, they will defend their ex at every turn, and then use the handling of some things to express their contempt for their ex. Showed with belittling. This is a very artistic form of politics that cannot be described in a simple narrative, and that is what Donald did.

The faces of the big shots in the room had lost their smiles, which was in stark contrast to the smiling guys at the banquet two streets away.

The atmosphere was a bit dull, everyone was smoking cigarettes or talking to no one. Among the many governance concepts that Donald proposed after taking office was "unity". At first, they didn't know what it meant, but now they know. He wants to "unite" the people who have been excluded by Dulin, and then harm their interests to compensate for the interests of those who have been excluded. This is simply playing with fire!

"What should we do? We should stop him!" the boss of the Golden Shield Men's Products Company asked with a frown. Du Lin once provided a small idea to these businessmen when he was giving lessons, which was to carry out his own handicraft workshop. The reform, in addition to retaining the ability to make pure handmade high-end clothes to serve the powerful, would produce clothes in batches and then sell them to all parts of the empire and even the world. With Du Lin's proposal, a large number of well-known brands with Odis City as the core began to produce and sell mid- to low-end products. The sales made people feel happy and made these businessmen more and more unite around Du Lin. .

"He can let those outsiders share our interests today, and he may drive us out from here tomorrow. What do you think the Chamber of Commerce Chairman is doing here? Donald must have some kind of agreement with him, and the unlucky one in the end must be us!"

One of the shareholders of Lucky Casino glanced at him and said, "Everyone here is aware of this matter. The question is how do we solve this matter? With your mouth? Are you going to offer him your flexible tongue to please him?" Let him change his mind? Of course it is impossible, sir and gentlemen. We need to work out a countermeasure, at least while protecting our own interests and making only the smallest concessions!"

People started talking about their ideas and suggestions, but no one was convinced. Some people even proposed a ridiculous idea, that is, double membership. If you are both a member of the Otis City Business Group and a member of the General Chamber of Commerce, everything will be solved. This proposal made many people excited, especially those businessmen who were originally members of the Chamber of Commerce but later quit the Chamber of Commerce in order to join the Otis City Business Group. They were not at all disgusted with joining the Chamber of Commerce.

Just when everyone couldn't reach a consensus, someone suddenly asked: "Why don't you give Mr. Dühring a call?"

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone looked at the honest man. The honest man immediately realized that this call must be made by him!

In the past, people have always said that Du Lin's eating appearance is not good-looking, but this time Du Lin can finally say that other people's eating appearance is not good-looking. He had long expected that someone would call him for help, but he didn't expect the call to come so quickly. He was a little relieved after knowing that it was Donald who succeeded him. During his time in power in Otis City, Donald was a low-key person who remained inconspicuous. It was said that he had been studying the development of Otis City. Dulin feels that Donald taking over as mayor can ensure that his policies will not deviate in the general direction.

But people's ideas are often not as fast as changes. In less than ten days, Donald actually wanted to break the rules he had set? This made Dulin feel a bit absurd and realistic at the same time.

The reason why every politician in the political arena is respected by his friends and enemies is not because of his charisma, but because of the power in his hands. People feared Magus because Magus was the Prime Minister of the Reich and the head of the cabinet. What if he wasn't? Then he may be no different than the bad old man on the roadside, and no one will stop for him and greet him.

Since Donald is not willing to save himself a little worry, then he should not even think about saving worry.

Dulin stroked his staunch supporters during his administration and told them that changes would occur within a week at the latest. Let them be quiet, don't do anything, don't think about it, and just wait for the earthquake in Otis City. !

He hung up and only picked up the phone. At the same time, Scott, who was lying on the sofa looking at the tape, was suddenly startled by the ringing of the phone. After Donald came to power, he first transferred him to the mayor's secretariat of the city hall as secretary-general. It seemed that he had been promoted, but the problem was that he had nothing to do. Donald's affairs were all left to his original secretary, but Scott, the secretary-general, had no one to care about him all day long.

If Du Lin hadn't told him something, those businessmen would have come to tell him anything, and he might have been disheartened.

After answering the phone, Scott's depressed face glowed red, and he kept nodding in agreement. A few minutes later, he left the house and went to the Odis City Regional Police Station, where he found Haidt.

In fact, Haidt also received a cold reception. Some people who opposed Dulin, such as the family members of those who were shot and killed by Haidt in the bank, and the old man who was amputated in a wheelchair in Namirides, all said that Haidt It's a dog raised by Du Lin. He would bite whomever Dulin told him to bite. Perhaps it was because Haite had done a lot of things that Donald was temporarily afraid of Haite's rumors and did not mobilize him for the time being, but his life was not easy either.

There were many elements in Donald's inaugural speech. In addition to the element of "unity", there was also "streamlining". He believed that the current staffing of some departments in Otis City is too bloated and needs to be streamlined in the future. There is no doubt that this refers to It's the regional police department. There are already signs that the director of the Bureau of Police Investigation is very close to Donald. Donald may use the Bureau of Police Investigation to replace the functions of some regional police stations, and eventually liquidate the police stations before reactivating them.

Under such circumstances, the Guarte police behaved very steadily, while the local and non-Guarte police officers were a little impatient.

When Scott arrived, Hayter had just fired three police officers and told them to pack up and get out.
