Cosma Empire

Alexander's hesitant decision is in line with everyone's heart, and not everyone can give up their interests in a big way. He has worked in hotels for half his life, and it is actually impossible for him to cross-bank to do other things. His so-called wanting to partner with Du Lin is actually a long-term investment. He took out the money to join Du Lin's plan, and then distributed him a proportional dividend every year, which was much better than keeping it in the bank.

But when Du Lin pointed out that he had a gold mine in his own hands and wanted to partner with him, he hesitated.

He didn't know how to answer Du Lin's question. If he answered yes, did Du Lin really plan to partner with him in the hotel industry? In the money that may be earned in the future, there is also a share of Du Lin? If the answer is unwilling, will there be a crack in the relationship with Du Lin, and will it make Du Lin feel that he is a very stingy person?

In the face of money, no one can be generous, especially when the money involved may be calculated in millions.

Du Lin laughed suddenly. He patted Alexander on the shoulder, looked at his blank eyes and said, "Okay, I'm not joking with you anymore. Where do I have the money to build hotels everywhere? I was just joking, but What I said is my true opinion, the hotel industry has great potential for development, and instead of doing those unfamiliar things, it is better to do something you are familiar with.”

He patted Alexander on the shoulder, and after the two clinked glasses, Du Lin left temporarily.

After the banquet was over, Scott approached Du Lin again. He was also there at the time and heard Du Lin's "high talk". Scott is a member of the city hall. He only knows a little about business operations, but he is very good at politics and cares about them. As Du Lin said, the empire's economy is rapidly recovering from the post-war dilapidation, and there are already signs of this in the imperial capital and more developed areas.

The high-level empire believes that this has a lot to do with the new party's ruling philosophy. Compared with the rigid ruling style of the aristocrats, the new party's ruling philosophy is more in line with the current situation of the empire and is closer to international trends.

Why did the empire lose to the monkeys of the Federation in the Great Patriotic War? It's not that the empire's weapons are inferior to the opponent's. In terms of weapons, the empire's various war weapons and weapon platforms can be said to be superior to the federal weapons. It was an economic problem, a soft power problem, that nearly lost the war for the Empire. The best weapon-equipped platform can hold at least ten times as many federation combat units of the same level, but the problem is that the federation doesn't have ten, but twenty, thirty or even fifty.

Like a tsunami, it directly destroyed the empire's defense line. When the empire began to take it seriously and counterattack, it was embarrassing to find that their production capacity could not keep up with the money and they did not have enough money! This also made the empire realize the importance of the economy. The first thing the new party did after it came to power was to liberate the suppression of merchants by the royal family and nobles during the imperial period, which also allowed the imperial economic environment to recover rapidly.

Like many choices,

Let go of those businessmen and the capital in their hands, while getting effective returns, it also brought a certain degree of trouble, such as monopoly.

From a political point of view, monopoly is an unhealthy business model, but in order to quickly restore economic strength and rebuild the foundation of the empire, the empire also had to let go of power at that time. But now the empire is a little helpless against those big capitalists and big consortia who are starting to go crazy. They occupy an absolute leading position in each industry. Touching their sensitive nerves is like stabbing a hornet's nest.

This is related to the stability and sustainable development of the entire empire's current society. Each trust enterprise represents hundreds of thousands or even millions of employees behind them. If so many unemployed people appear in society at once, It is conceivable to what extent law and order will be disrupted! The empire cannot solve the problem of the trusts, they can only change their way of thinking. They no longer want to dismember these trust companies, but want to manage them in a controllable way.

But another problem also emerged. Although the empire has a department in charge of business, it actually does not have any power, because the power is firmly held by the members of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. Those in the Chamber of Commerce will only think that the power in their hands is not strong enough, and the capital has not been fully freed, so how can they make their own rules to restrain themselves? This has become a point of conflict. The New Party wants to take back the power of the chamber of commerce, but the chamber of commerce is determined not to give it back!

Scott came to Doolin just to ask Doolin if he had any idea to solve this problem. In fact, Scott didn't think that Doolin could do this. The reason why he came to Doolin was to marvel at Doolin. With the performance at the banquet, maybe he can come up with some effective solutions? However, he soon became disappointed. This is not something that Du Lin can solve. Capital itself is harmless, but driven by interests, it becomes troublesome.

In another world, in order to disintegrate the monopoly of all walks of life, Western countries did not know how many people died and how many shady transactions were made before the monopoly changed to a form that everyone could accept. Here, Du Lin thought that he, including Scott and the mayor behind him, could not do this!

In the evening, Alexander contacted Du Lin, and as a thank you to Du Lin for explaining his doubts today, he invited Du Lin to participate in a game of cards, which meant that Du Lin had successfully integrated into Irian's social circle and had certain status.

You must know that gambling in Yaoxing Empire is an illegal act. Since the theocracy era, gambling has been labeled very seriously. As early as the Christian era, those priests believed that gambling was an act of indulging their own desires. This act was the soil for greed to breed, and it could also attract the prying eyes of the devil. Under the background of that era, anything related to the devil or the devil would not be easy, and many people were tied to the judgment pole and burned alive because of open gambling.

Sometimes religion does have some problems of overcorrection, and of course it can be understood as the characteristics of the times.

Gambling and the opening of casinos were also prohibited in the subsequent imperial period. Any game that uses money as a bargaining chip or is settled in cash can be regarded as gambling. The reason why it is so strictly prohibited is not without reason. In the early days of the empire, many people lost their property to gambling, including their land and houses and everything that could be sold.

Some of them became slaves in order to repay their debts, but some of them went astray. They used crimes to obtain more money for gambling, and hoped to repay their debts by pulling the money. This formed the A vicious cycle. In order to put an end to this kind of behavior, the imperial law directly copied and copied the theocracy law, and imposed heavy sentences on all those who opened casinos and participated in gambling.

It's like the more you prohibit something, the more it will be rampant among the people. After the high-pressure period, this game that everyone loves has revived again. It may be that the royal family also understands that some things cannot be banned just by promulgating a decree, so they changed the terms and turned a blind eye. One eye, as long as the amount of gambling is not large, it doesn't matter much.

The behavior of private gambling is actually not serious, and it is not much, because everyone has little money. However, this kind of behavior is more common among the rich, and only the rich with a good relationship will organize a game and invite friends to join. This obviously criminal behavior gave these rich people a sense of excitement, deepened their friendship with each other, and at the same time killed time.

For the invitation from Alexander, Du Lin agreed without much consideration. He also wanted to see what gambling in this world looked like.

The poker game was on the fourth floor of the Alexander Hotel, in a suite, and the poker game had already started when Du Lin stepped into this room. Five people sat at the edge of a table, holding cards in their hands. After they greeted Du Lin, the game continued, and there was no way to integrate new players before it ended. Du Lin didn't plan to sit down and play right away, he wanted to see how their game was played.

After watching for a short while, he had a general understanding of the rules of this kind of gambling. It was a bit like blackjack in a dream. Then Du Lin exchanged the chips and sat down. The largest denomination is 100 yuan, and the smallest denomination is 10 yuan. In fact, everyone's game is not very big. It is a way of socializing rather than a poker game. At this time, playing cards has become the second, and communication is the first.

After playing for a while, Du Lin gradually became familiar with the rules, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. He casually threw a card into the discard area, asked for a new card, and asked casually, "If I want to buy a boat, Who should I go to?"

Alexander was the organizer of the game, and he was the one who invited Du Lin, so it was only natural for him to answer this question. He glanced at the cards of everyone on the table, and threw two one-hundred-dollar chips on it, "Just look for that guy Garfield, he is very familiar with the people in the shipyard, you can buy ready-made ones from there, or Find them to order. However, it may take a while to order, and it will not be made so quickly."

"By the way, why do you suddenly want to buy a boat? Do you want to go fishing? Or take a girl for a ride?" Alexander was a little curious. Dulin didn't need a boat in his current career, so he naturally thought of it. Go elsewhere.

Du Lin withdrew all the small stack of chips in his hand, and replied casually, "I need a ship for some business, and the cost of shipping by sea is much cheaper than steam locomotives!"
