On the side of the ship, Du Lin was blowing the sea breeze and looking at the boundless sea, feeling relaxed and happy. As far as his eyes could see, a line separated the sea and the sky. If he didn't look so carefully, maybe the whole world would be blue. Colorful.
Dulin often took boats in the past, especially during the Ilian period. He had a very good relationship with the navy. Sometimes he needed to go to other places on the east coast. Finding a boat on his own was far less efficient than asking the navy to take a smooth sail. Convenient and safe.
Although the relationship between the Navy and the military has never been good, and military expenditures have been cut off by the military, they always have some ways to get a lot of money to maintain the current size of the navy, and even have one or two small-scale military operations every year exercise. Dulin is a blood vessel that delivers blood to the navy, and now not only the navy on the east coast has a good relationship with him, but the navy on the west coast has also established a very deep friendship with him.
Agricultural products and some ores from the west were pulled directly by train to ports on the west coast and loaded onto warships, and then went around in a circle and dumped these supplies on the east coast. It seemed that this increased the transportation cost and lengthened the transportation time, but what Dulin gained from this was definitely not something that could be measured by money.
Major General Thomas—this guy has officially received a set of things issued to him by the Navy Headquarters, and the appointment letter has also come down.
When he met Dulin in the west some time ago, he said that the Navy Headquarters would have a small high-level gathering at the end of this year, that is, around the Chinese New Year. The Admiral at the Navy Headquarters hoped that Dulin could take time to attend this gathering.
Du Lin is one of the most important money bags now. If others are ordinary branch blood vessels or capillaries, then Du Lin is the aorta! He spends about 8 million to 10 million dollars on the navy every year. Perhaps for the entire navy, this money can only maintain the expenses of one large naval base or two to three medium-sized naval bases, but the empire has a total of How many military bases
If this money is gone, the navy's top brass will also have a headache. As Dulin's "Perfection" series of agricultural products open up sales in the empire's mid-to-high-end consumer market, the transportation costs Dulin will pay them will only increase in the future. !
If some people weren't stuck on a certain line, Dulin would even want to send more money to the Navy!
The payback period for this investment is long, but it’s definitely worth it!
"What are you thinking about?" Nadiya walked to Dulin and leaned against the side of the ship. The sea breeze blew her hair. She felt an inexplicable sense of relief after leaving the land of the empire. "You are thinking about the Federation." Something?"
Du Lin glanced at her, smiled and shook his head, thinking about his next plan. This is actually a very interesting thing. It is similar to emotions like "I have an earth-shattering power, but I won't tell you, even the most knowledgeable principal doesn't know about it." This kind of emotion is very difficult. Share it with others, because others don’t know why you are so happy.
It's a happy time to have secrets in your heart, but of course sometimes these secrets can also bother people.
Du Lin looked at the sea and sky in the distance, thought for a while, and said, "I'm wondering if one day I'm too old to live alone, should I wear diapers..." Du Lin himself laughed first, " You know, that thing is not comfortable when you put it on, and what’s even more annoying is that whenever you need convenience, you will feel a heat in your butt.” Nadiya couldn’t hold it back, and laughed wildly. Even though I was trembling, Du Lin continued to say, "What's even more annoying is that after the heat is over, it will become very wet and cold. It feels terrible!"
"Have you always been so humorous?" Nadiya suddenly became curious about Du Lin. Du Lin was not like the big shots she knew. He maintained his best image no matter when and where he appeared. in front of people. They are serious in speech and may occasionally have a little humor, but it definitely does not make people happy, and sometimes makes people feel embarrassed. They rarely laugh and curse as Dulin does. They are like the most disciplined believers who maintain their utmost devotion to their career and interests.
Dulin is different from them, completely different. This is the type of "big man" that Nadiya has never seen before. He doesn't seem to care about his own image at all, and his words are also very interesting. When he needs it, he The things emanating from the body are enough to make people breathless and frightened.
Most importantly, he gives those around him a sense of security.
Dulin pressed his elbows on the railing of the ship's side and looked sideways at Nadia, "I like the way beautiful girls look happy and laughing. That is the most beautiful thing in the world, something that even God would be jealous of! "
Nadiya suddenly felt her face heat up, and she looked away from Du Lin in a panic, feeling something in her heart that even she was afraid of. At that moment, when Du Lin said such romantic and touching words, she actually felt a slight throb from the bottom of her heart.
Crazy impulse, for a moment she was really captured by Du Lin, and she even had a shameful impulse, which she had only had in the past, when she was young. The kind of impulse that abandons people's secular concepts and moral constraints and just wants to go crazy.
But at the same time, she felt a little guilty. She was already married. Although Walter did some things that hurt her, he apologized. In addition, she has a child, a cute little girl who is already in ninth grade. She is no longer the young self, she no longer has crazy capital, and the world no longer belongs to her.
The heartbeat of that moment was firmly held in her heart, her eyes looked confused and hesitantly at the clouds at the end of the distant sky, and she fell into silence.
What people are most afraid of is comparison, and what they are even more afraid of is that there is an obvious tendency in the process of comparison. Nadiya's heart was confused for a while.
Dulin smiled, turned around and walked into the cabin.
Nadia will enter his core group. Kevin is right to say that if he cannot abandon some narrow nationalism, his future path will be difficult or even impossible. But if he abandons these and returns as a hero, then he will get more than he imagined. From the perspective of interests, a controllable Nadia is a decision he must make. From the other side..., there are not many women like Nadia.
She is very gentle, and Du Lin likes her voice, the way she speaks, and her attitude. That gentle voice can warm people's hearts. She also has her own persistence and is a good girl... but she is a little older. Stronger professionalism can help Du Lin do many things, and the connections she has made in the Southern Commercial Bank are also an asset. You must know that the most economically developed region of the empire is in the south, and that is where Du Lin will inevitably set foot.
All in all, I just like this one, who dares to say anything
As for marriage
That is a matter for the future, and of course he needs to think about it, because after returning this time, someone will start to consider accepting him.
After spending four days at sea, the ferry finally docked in the Commonwealth. Dover once again proved the correctness of some people who can show off their teeth in the river and turn into soft-footed shrimps at sea. From the moment we boarded the ship, we could hear "vomit...", "wow..." and crackling sounds from time to time outside the door of Dufo's room. Thank you for your hard work. There is still a lot of time to spend on the ship. , he would vomit and vomit and eventually he would get used to it.
Mr. Kaile greeted them and sent a nephew to follow Du Lin and his party. Du Lin and his party passed the customs easily. Their passports were not even checked. This was something that ordinary people could not imagine. But the real society is so interesting. Many things that are impossible in the eyes of ordinary people have always existed. It's just that the status of the vast majority of people is not high and they can't see what's behind the walls.
After leaving the port, two young men immediately ran over. They stopped five or six meters away from Dulin and bowed, "Hello, Mr. Albert has arranged for us to pick you up!"
Albert, the guy who used to go out of his way to sell things in Ilian every morning when Dulin was relaxing in the cafe, his perseverance and perseverance impressed Dulin, and he was half Guarte. At that time, Dulin Lin decided to accept him and give him a chance. It turned out that he was a man with a talent for success. He seized this opportunity, and then Dulin arranged for him to come to the Federation to do things. During this period, there were always people, and more than one group of people, watching him secretly. After all, the money in his hand is a large amount, coming from different forces, and there is absolutely no room for error.
He's doing a great job and Doolin doesn't mind giving him a new chance.
The group of people got into the car. Most of the people who came this time had been to the Federation and were not curious about the Federation. Dulin did take a few more glances. The feeling here is completely different from that in the empire. It is more free, more enthusiastic, and at the same time more cruel. Money is the only passport here, but it happens that this kind of thing has always been in the hands of a very small number of people.
But for the rich, this is heaven!
The car quickly stopped in a villa area. The terrain of the Federation is somewhat different from that of the Empire. Most of the terrain here is hilly, so the city has a relatively large difference in ups and downs, unlike the Empire where there are mostly plains. . Here, if you want to know who is the richest, just look at who lives higher!
Those raised terrains are often developed into various villa areas. Rich people like to get up every morning and open their windows to have a panoramic view of the entire city. For this, they need to pay a very expensive fee.
This just proves that they are rich and at the same time shows the clear class hierarchy in the city.
