The independence referendum is very bluffing. In fact, the purpose of the New Generation Consortium is not to really want the cities with Saint-Loduo as the core to be independent from the federal system. It will not be of any benefit to them. It can be said to be digging their own graves. a behavior. Once they truly become independent, their industries in various places will first be affected. Direct "expropriation" by the state is the best outcome. It is very likely that they will be nationalized for various reasons. A consortium cannot own only one, two, or three industries. It is a huge enterprise group.
Just like the Atlantic Group Company that just collapsed, that is, the Atlantic Consortium. In addition to Atlantic Chemical, United Construction Engineering, and United Pharmaceuticals, there are more than ten different listed companies, large and small, as well as more small and medium-sized enterprises. . These things form a complete consortium. It is not as simple as just a few companies saying that they are a consortium. Once their industries are nationalized or expropriated, their vitality will be greatly reduced and they will become ordinary capital forces, so this is not what they want.
What they want is to force the United Parliament to the negotiating table, negotiate on the current situation, find a solution acceptable to everyone, and survive this crisis.
These people are smart!
Du Lin quickly focused his attention on his surroundings. His action of taking out twenty yuan just now was seen by some people around him. These people gathered around and stared at him from a distance without getting too close.
The current situation at the bottom of the federation is too bad, the currency is depreciating faster than people imagined, and the money in the hands of many people is quickly becoming worthless. This has caused many families to face many difficulties, and filling their stomachs is one of them. Under the financial tsunami, a large number of small, medium and micro enterprises went bankrupt, and some major companies were also involved. The entire commodity society is more like a complex and precise instrument. As long as there is a problem with one large component, the entire instrument will soon be destroyed. The machine comes to a standstill.
Losing their jobs, the money in their hands depreciating rapidly, and the difficult living environment force some people to take desperate measures and resort to crime to obtain the things they need in life.
"We are being targeted." Du Fu said in Du Lin's ear.
Du Lin calmly observed the surroundings, and there were indeed a few people who seemed to be vaguely surrounding him and Du Fo. This was the second day after he came to Saint Luodu, and they entered the city overnight last night. Saint-Loduo is in the middle of the eastern territory of the Federation. After passing through Saint-Loduo, there are two cities, which are close to the federal border. Dulin's plan was to rest here for a while and then leave tomorrow. They traveled nearly a thousand kilometers in three days and everyone was a little tired, not only physically but also mentally.
It is not an easy task to always pay attention to the changes in your surroundings, to be wary of sudden pursuits, and to keep a low profile.
"It must have something to do with the twenty yuan I just gave. Let's go back first." After saying that, the two of them walked towards the hotel. Yes, Du Lin was living in the hotel now. Forging an identity is not that difficult. This time Dulin attacked the federal finance, Maggs asked the military to give Dulin considerable convenience and create several real fake identities for him. These identities are very real and can even be said to withstand anyone's inspection, because these identities are real and have been accumulated by the intelligence department for many years.
There is absolutely no need for him to avoid the public eye. This is the Federation, and not as many people know him as dogs in the Empire.
Seeing that Du Lin was approaching the hotel, a guy couldn't help it anymore. He ran for a few steps and caught up, "Sir, wait a minute."
Du Lin stopped and put one of Dufo's hands into his arms. This action made the man's face change slightly. No matter what was in Dufo's arms, it was definitely not a good thing. The first thing he thought of was the pistol.
The man who stopped them looked to be in his thirties, his clothes were very shabby, there was a thick layer of putty on his collar and cuffs, and his hair seemed to have not been washed for a long time. Du Lin looked at him with raised eyebrows. He swallowed and said in a low voice, "I haven't eaten for two days. Can you give me some money? I can do anything for you."
There were not many people on the street. Most people were participating in the referendum in order to get wheat kernels and meat, which made the streets near the hotel look a little empty. Although the security in San Luodu has deteriorated to an unprecedented level, it can still be said to be the city with the best security compared to other cities. A large number of financial groups are stationed here, and a little money flowing out of their pockets is enough to stabilize the city.
However, not everyone can fill their stomachs. Capitalists are never philanthropists, and all their behaviors of buying people are not charity, but only serve certain behaviors. As the upper echelons of the social class, they are more aware of the benefits of dividing society into multiple classes for governance. Vested interests will always stand on their side to be wary of possible offensive behavior by another small group of people. Hostile and hostile attitudes between classes can Make sure their status is not threatened.
Dulin lit a cigarette and asked, "How many do you want?"
The guy who looked more like a homeless man hesitated for a moment, and then quoted a very exaggerated number, "Ten thousand, sir."
Dulin shook his head and said, "You are not worth so much, but I can give you ten yuan."
There was an unpredictable smile on the homeless man's face. He lowered his head slightly to avoid Du Lin's gaze and lowered his voice, "Sir, I have seen your portrait on the wall of the police station. I think it is worth it." Ten thousand, what do you think?”
Du Linzhou frowned, took two puffs of cigarette, and nodded noncommittally, "You need to talk to the doctor about your eye problems, come with me!"
The three of them entered the hotel. Dulin asked Savi to give 10,000 yuan to the homeless man, and then asked him in detail. The homeless man said that when he was caught by the police for stealing bread the day before yesterday, he had seen his portrait on a drawing board in the police station. It was a drawing board used to display wanted criminals. Dulin was wanted.
At this time, Du Lin's face changed slightly. He suddenly realized why the guy who gave him twenty yuan looked at him carefully and dismissed the homeless man. Just when he was about to leave, there was a knock on the door of the room. .
"Room Service… "
Everyone in the room who was packing their things stopped what they were doing. Dulin took a pistol from Savi and said, "I don't need room service."
"Sorry to bother you!", the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing came from outside the door, but the next second, the closed door was suddenly broken open, and several policemen wearing body armor rushed in.
