After hanging up the phone, Donald sat in a chair and pulled his hair fiercely. The pain from his scalp could not cover up his inner helplessness and uncontrollable anger.
Selem put forward two conditions. As long as he can meet these two conditions, everything will return to peace, and someone will even stand up to take part of the responsibility. But these two conditions were unacceptable to him, and he didn't even want to recall them.
The first requirement was that he must call Mr. Dulin in person to admit that his blind arrogance had caused the social turmoil in Otis City during this period, and beg for Mr. Dulin's forgiveness.
The second requirement is that he must immediately submit a letter of resignation to the state government, resign from his position as mayor of Otis City, then publicly apologize to the citizens, express remorse for what he has done, and then leave here forever.
As long as he fulfills these two requirements, within an hour of him completing these two requirements, all business operations in Odis City will be restored, 270,000 jobs will reappear, and people will once again live and work in peace and contentment. Businessmen who invest here and members of the Otis City Business Group will continue to support the city hall's decree.
But if Donald refuses such "goodwill", Selem did not say what they would do, but Donald knew very well that they would definitely try their best to remove him from power, and even subject himself to some investigations.
He is not afraid of investigations, he is afraid of being ousted, which is more cruel to a politician than killing him.
If you kill him, he may still leave behind some political thoughts and political lines, and continue to play his role in the political arena. He will continue to be mentioned or even affirmed by latecomers. His thoughts will continue until a major political system reform. , will gradually fade away. His body is dead, but his political life is still alive, and his family, his heirs and future generations will benefit from it.
But if someone is kicked out of office, no matter what kind of work he has done, what contributions he has made, or what outstanding political thoughts and vision he has, even if all of these are correct, they will be denied with a final word. Because he is a loser, and losers cannot have mature political thoughts. This is an iron rule.
He painfully picked up the phone and called his father who worked in the imperial capital. He had to ask his father for help. Although his father was just an ordinary legal person who interpreted judicial definitions and did not even have an eye-catching title, his special position was destined to make him unknown but also quite lethal. He is a double-edged sword that can hurt himself or others. When it comes time to use him, the person using him may not care whether he can hurt himself.
Moreover, in the imperial capital, the core area of the imperial political arena, the complexity of the political arena far exceeds that of other places. This is where the contradiction between the old and new parties is most acute. Every moment of every day, some people are calculating the future of the other party. some people. Anyone who can stay here, even an inconspicuous official, has a very high political quality.
Donald's father was not surprised to receive a call from his son. He had already seen a series of negative reports about the mayor of Otis in the imperial capital. It was not too late for Donald to call him now. He only told Donald one sentence, no, one word, which immediately gave Donald a feeling of being reborn from the ashes, as if all the fog in front of his eyes had been lifted, the sun had come out, and the few dark clouds were about to disperse. .
What did he say
Only one word with two syllables!
"Cape!"
Donald's father has been involved in the political whirlpool of the imperial capital until now, so he is more aware of the cruelty of politics. If his son is this material, he will definitely know what he is talking about. If he can't guess what he wants to express, it means that Donald is not the material. He does not need to stand up again and just follow the trend. He can wait for the next generation of children to grow up and replace Donald to complete his dream of moving further in the political arena.
Donald was very smart. He immediately realized that Dulin had made a mistake this time. Two of the seven photos were of the murderer and Solo together, which was equivalent to dragging the Capet family into the water. . His father's intention was very clear. He took advantage of Du Lin's opportunity to completely drag Capet into the quagmire, and then stood on the side of the Capet family without reservation. Let the Cape family and Dulin fight. No matter who wins or loses, he will not be the one who loses the most.
He even had a chance to defeat Dulin and get the real power to rule Odis City, and at the same time, he was accepted by the Cape family. This will be his strongest support in the political arena!
"So, I will ask them to take out the photos of the Cape family." Dulin was sitting in the room and talking on the phone with Kevin. Kevin would be transferred to the Imperial Capital Ministry of Justice in the second quarter to serve as the person he once hated most. It is as difficult for a prosecutor to be promoted to attorney general as it is to be promoted to a lifelong justice through the law of the city court. However, it is difficult to say what is happening in politics. Sometimes, an unknown person can become a minister without much personal ability. He only needs to be nominated when a new cabinet is formed.
Kevin's current task is to train and strengthen his business capabilities, and weave his own network of personal connections and interests in the Ministry of Justice. When he is nominated as the Minister of Justice one day in the future, at least he will not be a one-person general who can control everything. Move the entire Department of Justice.
Kevin is now very enthusiastic about politics. He was on the phone with Dulin this time to consider whether the seven photos Dulin threw out were too hasty. The photos not only devastated Donald, but also implicated the Capet family.
Dulin continued: "The person responsible for executing the plan is said to have disappeared. I can regard him as dead. If the Cape family does not intervene in this matter, they are lucky. Once they decide to intervene in this matter, they will Discover this is not just a quagmire, it’s a swamp, a man-eating swamp!”
The increasingly smooth exchange of information has allowed public opinion and public opinion to play a more important role in the empire's political arena. If the Capet family intervenes, the first person they need to face is not Dulin, but those who want to "protect "The public opinion that Du Lin went to fight, as well as the accusations of many celebrities who fought for racial independence, and the surging public opinion.
No matter whether they hand over someone or not, they are destined to do the assassination of Du Lin. On one side are the old nobles and on the other are the "minority" new officials, coupled with power and interests as condiments, this It will become a rich meal and something people will watch and discuss for a whole year or more.
As long as this accusation is established, and there is no need for much sufficient evidence, Maggs, who is sharpening his knife on the side, will definitely raise his sharp knife and slash at the Cape family.
A group of nobles from the "old era" actually assassinated officials from the new era for profit? Who gave them the courage to trample on the laws of the empire, was it God
Once a series of investigations are launched, Donald will not only not benefit from it, but will get deeper and deeper into it. It is absolutely impossible that only Donald and the Capet family will die in the end, and more people will be implicated.
There is a saying that says a lot, the more one belongs to one's own, the more ruthless one will attack one's own. As a high-ranking aristocrat in the empire, Mags had a clearer understanding of aristocrats than Dulin and most people in society. These parasites that only destroy but not build can only make the country weaker and weaker. Don't ever expect these vampires to feed their blood back to the empire!
Du Lin has deployed a lot of back-up tactics to fight these two forces. He is now without an official position and is invincible. Without the burden of the mayor, he is invincible.
After Du Lin's explanation, some things that Kevin had not figured out suddenly became clear. He was a good player in the law, but he did not understand politics thoroughly enough.
"Well, since you said you made arrangements, I won't worry about it. Tell me, is there anything interesting in the west? I heard that women in the west are very hot and open-minded. Is it true? "After saying three sentences, Kevin returned to his old ways and talked about pleasure again.
Du Lin smiled and replied: "If you don't mind discussing the origin of life with those women who are covered in dust and dirt and can rub out dirt with their fingers, I think this place may be more suitable for you to live."
"It sounds very interesting. I also heard that you can communicate with body fluids while riding on the horse, right? It's really exciting to ride on the horse. I'll go over to your place to play after I hand over the work here. You have to arrange this for me in a few days..."
After hanging up the phone, Du Lin was a little confused and confused. Is it a specialty here to gallop on horseback while letting the spirit and body overlap to achieve the sublimation of the soul
After more than ten days of spreading and settling, Du Lin's notoriety finally spread throughout the Western World. The strange thing is that the local government did not come to trouble him, as if they had never heard of Du Lin. . This strange phenomenon made Dulin feel that it might be Memnon or someone else.
At such a special node, Garfield came to the West.
He himself is the largest steel supplier in Ilian. Later, he followed Dulin's footsteps and became the largest steel supplier in Otis City. With the piece of land he bought, it can now be said to be one of the few on the Empire Tower. Crowd of people.
In terms of working capital alone, he has nearly 20 million in bank deposits. Adding those real estate properties, his wealth has expanded to 60 to 70 million! If he works harder, he might be able to form a small consortium with himself as the core.
The reason why Garfield came to the west this time was because he heard that Dulin had acquired an iron ore as soon as he went to the west. His business would never be able to do without these iron ores, and Dulin gave him a hand. , he is also a person who knows how to be grateful - especially after Luke was found to have committed suicide while serving his sentence, and after Juan committed suicide by jumping off a building, he understood what it means to be grateful even more.
If he didn't find a few more opportunities to repay Du Lin, he might not be able to sleep well at night.
"As soon as I heard that you had won an iron mine, I thought that my good days were finally coming. I no longer needed to go around looking for people to get the ore through connections. You helped me again, Dulin!" Garfield expressed. He looked very grateful, as if he was not here to repay a favor, but to thank Dulin for providing him with high-quality ore.
Dulin was actually well aware of his performance. He took Garfield around the mining area and said, "The iron content of the iron ore here is 53%. On a dry basis, the mining volume is average. If you want to leave this matter to me, it looks like I have to win a few more iron mines!"
Along the way, Garfield was very concerned about the quality of the Dulin iron mine, and he even read some reports himself. Although it is said that he is repaying Du Lin for his help in the past two years, this kind of repayment should not be based on his complete loss. Such repayment will only quickly break the relationship between the two people. Reasonable transactions and giving up part of the profits are the real rewards, at least that's what Garfield thinks.
"The content is good. I can offer you a price of eight yuan per ton of raw ore, and you can sell it in unlimited quantities!" Garfield is definitely an expert in this regard. According to the data provided by Dulin, it takes about five to six tons of ore to refine one ton of basic steel. Now the empire's infrastructure construction in various places has led to rising steel prices, followed by an increase in raw materials. A piece of steel costs between eighty and one hundred and twenty yuan.
The cost of the ore is about 40 yuan plus the expenses and losses incurred in transportation and steelmaking. From the time the ore leaves Dulin and is turned into steel ingots and sold, Garfield's own profit is only a few yuan to more than a dozen yuan. He has already made a profit of about 40 yuan. He gave a lot of his profits to Du Lin.
Dulin was considered a semi-expert, and he knew that the offer was much higher than the market price, but he didn't say anything. This was Garfield's goodwill, and he had no reason to refuse.
The two soon chatted about matters in the field of Western Minerals, and Garfield had some knowledge of what was going on here.
"If you want to find mineral deposits by yourself, it is not an easy task." After returning to the house, the two of them sat down separately, Garfield talked about this matter, "Currently, there are no places where mineral deposits may exist in the West. It has been privatized. As for those places that have not yet been privatized, there may not be any mines. Many people come to the west to mine with the nature of gambling. If they win, they will get rich immediately. If they lose, they will lose all their money. Return."
"I've seen many speculators commit suicide after they failed, not only putting their own money in but also borrowing money from other people."
"It costs about 800,000 to 2 million to mine on a piece of land, from buying the land to thoroughly exploring all the places. This is why those big mine owners are happy to buy mines discovered by others, rather than going there themselves. The reason for looking for mineral deposits is because they can't afford to lose. A failure is very likely to turn their income into steam for one or two or three years. Compared with spending two or three million more to buy a mine, it is obviously the latter. More cost-effective!”
