After a failed "armed appeal", Memnon settled for several years and changed his approach to pursue his personal ambitions and desires through political participation. This time he did better than last time. He established a very solid interest relationship with capitalists in the west and even capitalists outside the west, forming a huge network. These capitalists helped him complete his political program, successfully implement his political ideas, and achieved great results.
And he also helped those capitalists "lower" the wages of workers, saving a lot of money. At the same time, he gave the green light to some projects, so that these capitalists also received sufficient returns. In particular, Memnon's policy tilt toward these capitalists in some western cities reached a somewhat wanton level, leaving both parties in a honeymoon period of cooperation.
The allure of the "Three Guarantees Policy" allowed Memnon to quickly gain the recognition and trust of the vast majority of locals in the west. With the help of him and his interest partners, the state government has basically been sidelined by Memnon. But he did it beautifully, with the innate ability of a businessman. While the governor was speechless, he also felt that there was nothing wrong with the current situation.
One of the governor's sons has been nominated as a member of the new party in a small city, and the next step is to become an official member. There are also two sons, one works at Bondika Group Company as the deputy manager of the investment department, and the other works as a small shareholder at Ludavan Chemical Group. In addition, his youngest daughter has also been assigned a good job.
The governor himself also has a place to go. Memnon provided him with a huge fund of 1.8 million to open up the path to promotion. After his term is over, if Harry comes to power, he will go to a southern state to continue to serve as governor for four years. Later he had the opportunity to become a cabinet member.
Memnon remained respectful to him, and would not interfere with the independent work of the state government at any other time except for certain special matters. A large "political donation" is also made to the governor every month, which makes the governor very satisfied with Memnon's approach. Everyone takes care of each other's dignity without harming each other's interests.
Those who can be assigned to be governors in the west are basically those who have reached the end of their political career. If you do well, you may be promoted and appointed after your term ends. If you do not do well, you may retire as a party sinecure. Everyone is happy with the changes they have now.
The call was quickly transferred to Memnon. After learning about the incident, Memnon's attitude was very simple, that is, to continue dragging it out.
Spring can be delayed for a while because of spring plowing. After the spring plowing is over, there will be a wave of tobacco planting season in late spring and early summer. Those tobacco groups are not fuel-efficient lamps. They are even more arrogant than the arms group. . It may be that they have been suppressed too hard by Federal Tobacco, and the tobacco industry has ushered in an explosion. Every local boss has a lot of money in his hands, and even God does not pay attention to it. When autumn comes, there will be harvest season, and as for winter...
During the conservation season, haven’t zoologists said that we need to protect Gobi wolves and various wild animals in the west? Water pollution will cause the greatest harm to these wild animals.
At 11 o'clock on Monday morning, the regular meeting of the state government had just ended. Mr. Mike returned to the office and looked through some minutes of the meeting. This year the area of cultivated land in the western region has expanded 29 times compared to last year, and the tobacco groups have made the greatest contribution. The special climate in the west gives the tobacco produced here a completely different aroma from other places. It has more sunshine hours and abundant underground water resources, plus soil fertility that has been activated and deposited for thousands of years. This has been studied by the Tobacco Group Staff praise.
Last year's tobacco sales exploded, and with the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding, tariffs on some goods will be restored, including tobacco. The federal tobacco merchants were unable to obtain more government dumping subsidies from foreign trade and lost a great deal of competitiveness. This allowed the empire's tobacco products to not only defeat these foreign cigarettes within the empire, but also to make their own products indistinguishable. It was sold to the federal government without being treated, which brought great benefits to the tobacco group.
Therefore, almost all tobacco groups have begun to expand their tobacco fields crazily, and some are even considering relocating their headquarters companies to the west because the taxes here are lower and there are some subsidies. This is definitely an excellent growth environment for tobacco groups with increasing trade volume, and it has indeed become an amazing attraction.
In addition, the imperial cabinet sent a document to the three western states. The cabinet proposed to build a new special zone on the west coast to increase and strengthen trade links with the western continent. Even the Navy has begun to enclose land. They want to build another military deep-water port on the west coast. This has also been approved by the Imperial Military Ministry, and is the first construction plan for the Military Ministry to allocate funds to the Navy after the Northern and Southern Patriotic War. The military does not expect these navies to bring glory to the country, but at least it must ensure the safety of the imperial waters.
Since the signing of the "Sea Areas Act", countries have paid increasing attention to sea areas. Recently, there have been new voices within the military department, which believe that the navy should be re-incorporated into the military development plan and try to reconcile with the navy and solve the problem. The contradictions that exist between each other...
These were far away things. Mr. Mike flipped through them casually, packed up the things on the table, and got ready to take a lunch break from get off work. At this moment, the office door was pushed open without knocking or his permission. He subconsciously glanced at the person who came in and immediately frowned.
It's that annoying guy again, he's been here twice, and the second time he brought a thousand dollars to give to him. To be honest with his conscience, he really wanted that thousand yuan. His salary was only fifty-five yuan a month, which was enough for his two years of savings. But the problem is that Memnon told him that he would have to delay it no matter what, so he could only violate his conscience and reject the application of this guy who represented Dulin.
Memnon's attitude towards big people is completely different from his attitude towards little people. He can satisfy everyone with big people, but he is much more simple and rude towards small people.
Either get lost or take my money and do as I say. But everyone likes this idea. After all, this is the West, the simple West. When your fists are not as big as others, lowering your head is the most correct choice.
"I said, your application must be placed...", Mike suddenly stood up, because after Aliers opened the door, he stood aside. A man wearing a blue and white formal suit, a top hat, and a black A man in a white trench coat walked in.
He took off his hat and put it in Ellis's hand, then walked to the chair opposite Mike's desk and sat down.
Mike knew this guy, and everyone in the state knew this guy, and his name was Doolin.
"Mr. Du Lin, I didn't expect you to come here in person. I explained to your staff that I didn't mean to embarrass a big shot like you. Isn't it wrong? It's just that this is the state government's policy now. There will be a meeting this morning. At that time, the governor also mentioned the need to ensure the smooth progress of farming..." Dulin didn't say anything, and Mike explained. He was a little panicked. He had never thought that Du Lin would come in person. This guy was not a good person, and he was not easy to mess with.
He didn't know much about Dulin, but could someone who even Memnon had to deal with with caution be easy to mess with
Du Lin nodded, leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Continue, I want to hear what else you want to say?"
"No... no, sir." Mike swallowed and stood behind the table uncomfortably, like a student who made a mistake and was caught in the act by the teacher.
Du Fu, who was standing next to Du Lin, took out two rolls of ten-dollar bills from his pocket and pressed them on the table with a bang. Mike's eyes were immediately attracted to the two rolls of money. Based on his understanding of these people and money, there is no doubt that this must be two thousand yuan. However, he really can't take this money. If he takes it, Memnon will definitely cause trouble for him. He doesn't want to lose his current job.
"Now, please tell me, can I apply for my license?" Du Lin looked at him seriously and asked.
Mike struggled for a moment, "Sorry..."
The moment he said the word sorry, Du Fu put one hand on the table of the desk, jumped slightly, slid his body along the table, and put the gun in his hand against Mike's temple. The cold muzzle of the gun made Mike's mind go blank. He felt that these people were crazy and actually took out guns in the state government office building. Don't they know what killing people here means? According to the laws of the empire, this means that they have attacked the state government. This is a riot and must be suppressed. Everyone will be executed!
But the problem is that now the muzzle of the gun is pressed against him, his Adam's apple slides quickly, and he slowly raises his hands, "Don't be impulsive, Mr. Dulin..."
"Give you two choices!"
"The first option is to get the license I need immediately. I am an imperial businessman who abides by the law. I need this certificate, and you happen to be the official who handles this certificate. Your very excellent and skillful business ability allows you to I can handle this matter in the shortest time. Then I leave with the certificate and you go home with your family.”
"The second option is, I'll shoot you to death here, and then accuse you of robbing me of my money. In order to protect my safety, my people can only kill a 'former' official who is crazy about money on the spot. Of course, out of For humanitarian reasons, I will compensate your family for dozens of dollars, and at least let you burn it in the incinerator."
"The road is walked by oneself."
"Choose for yourself!"
