Cosma Empire

Undoubtedly, this is the source of James' sense of danger. He knew that this was a warning from Doolin, and even Doolin had guessed that he was going to call Juan, so he sent someone to cut his phone line. He slowly put the phone back where it was, and it happened that his wife came to his study with fruit. His wife is a local, nearly ten years younger than James, very beautiful, and has borne him two children. For his wife, James has always given her the best, whether she wants it or not, he will give her what he can.

He loves his wife and his children very much, he loves this family and everything, and he doesn't want to lose these beautiful things!

"Your complexion doesn't look very good, are you tired?" His wife put down the fruit plate, walked behind him and squeezed his shoulder vigorously, "If you are tired, please take a rest for a while Time, don't wear yourself down, our family is counting on you!"

James closed his eyes and enjoyed his wife's kneading. He sighed faintly, raised his hand and touched the back of his wife's tender hand, "Then let's do it for a few days. I will explain my work tomorrow morning and then take a rest. Do you want to travel?"

His wife snorted in denial, a bit coquettish, and James liked this voice, "Traveling would cost a lot of money, besides, Illion is the most famous tourist city in the empire, should we Do you want to go to the countryside full of dust and mud? Just rest at home!" She just let go of her hand when she remembered something, "By the way, have you heard? There is a coffee shop on Dawn Avenue The man was burned."

"What's going on?" James suddenly became sober, he turned sideways and looked at his wife, "Is it an accident?"

Now he is suddenly very sensitive to life and death. When he heard the death of a coffee shop clerk, he immediately thought of a rumor about Du Lin. It is said that he would appear on Dawn Avenue at six o'clock every morning. In a coffee shop, read the newspaper, have something to eat and drink a cup of coffee, and then leave. He had only met Du Lin at night, and he couldn't help but think of that person, a very capable person in his friend's mouth.

This friend of James is a staff member of the city hall. He mentioned Dooling casually and did not refer to anything in particular. It seemed to be about something related to the fifth district, and James didn't care about it at the time, but at this moment, he suddenly recalled it for some reason, and immediately felt that all of this could be connected into a thread.

His wife told the whole thing in a curious tone.

It was said that the guy had to work long hours every day, and he looked weak every day, but he worked hard enough and didn't make any mistakes, so the owner of the coffee shop didn't fire him. He might have been exhausted after returning home from get off work in the middle of the night before yesterday. He accidentally fell asleep on the kitchen table while cooking and eating. He ignored what was burning on the stove and no one managed it.

The guy was burned to death at home on the spot. Both the fire department and the police station had investigated and found nothing unexpected, so the case was confirmed and the team was closed.

Originally, this matter was almost over, but who would have thought that the guy's parents would have a quarrel, and even found the workers' union. After discussion, the workers’ union decided to stand up for this incident. They believed that the tragedy happened because the coffee shop owner treated the employees harshly. Although the coffee shop owner does not need to bear the primary responsibility, there is a secondary responsibility, and they take this as an example. The basis is that the owner of the coffee shop is required to bear a certain amount of responsibility for the death of the guy, two thousand yuan.

Now both parties have hired lawyers and are preparing to resolve the dispute through the courts. Many people are discussing this matter and its possible outcome.

The muscles on James' face twitched uncontrollably, and he smiled softly to delay the real fluctuations in his heart, "So I always say, if you need to leave while cooking, you must turn off the fire!"

His wife nodded and said yes, but also counterattacked a little, "But in the final analysis, it is because he is too tired. If he was not so tired, such a tragedy would not have happened, so I hope you can take a good rest , don’t go anywhere at home, just sleep for a few days.”

James squeezed his wife's hand and nodded vigorously, "Okay, I'll listen to you."

It never occurred to him to call Juan again, not at all!

"You did a good job this time!" Du Lin returned home and hung his coat on the hanger, glanced at Duffer who was playing cards with other people in the living room, and praised him.

This time Dufo really dealt with this matter with his heart. Du Lin didn't want to know what the process was like, he only wanted the result. And this result is very satisfying to him, and what makes him even more satisfied is that the labor union's nonsense lawsuit with the coffee shop owner has completely diverted people's attention from that guy's death, and now no one will pay attention to that guy's death. Whether there is any doubt about the guy's death, he only cares about the process and result of this lawsuit.

Duffer grinned, and soon turned his attention to the poker in his hand. They played without any chips or bets, it was purely a way to pass the time. Du Lin looked at the group of dedicated people, smiled and shook his head and walked up the spiral staircase. After a while, I'm afraid they will be allowed to play cards, and they won't be in the mood to play cards.

Du Lin ordered three monochrome video players from the imperial capital. To put it bluntly, they are TVs from another world, but the TVs here seem to be equipped with black technology, and their development is a bit off the track of another world. Before there was cable TV, there was something like a videotape. This thing is integrated with the black and white TV. The TV itself cannot receive any TV signal, and there is no line interface. If you want to play it, you must buy tape.

Joshua told him that a monochrome video player costs 1,200 yuan, and those tapes that record movies cost 30 yuan each. Now the major distribution companies and producers are crazy Fill with new tape. Despite the high price, it still attracted the attention of many rich people. It is said that all the output for the first month has been booked out, and the people waiting in line to pick up the goods have already lived at the gate of the factory.

And this is the new deal that Du Lin thought of!

In terms of theaters, the giant George family is standing in the way. The so-called cooperation is actually unreliable at all. If Juan and the others think that they have hundreds of movie theaters in their hands, they are sitting at the negotiating table and negotiating terms with the George family, it can only be said that his dream of getting rich has not yet awakened. For giants like the George family, perhaps their more real idea is to acquire these resources in Juan's hands. If they are allowed to divide the expected economic and political benefits in the future to these old hats, will they be willing?

Certainly not, that is the George family, not a small rich man, their influence in the political field is definitely the first in the media, how could they compromise? Even if they give up this industry, it is impossible for them to share their interests with "little rich men" like Juan and Luke. Every trust is a bad guy, and if they were, there wouldn't be a lot of people going bankrupt and homeless!

Although this emerging business cannot be done, Du Lin has seen another industry, which is the future TV media. He had heard before that the Imperial Academy of Sciences had produced qualified products on the assembly line, but it hadn't been released yet. Perhaps this could also explain why there was something like a video player synthesized on the TV—they needed content!

Who would waste money on something worthless and meaningless if there isn't enough content?

And this just provides a brand-new development direction for Du Lin, and this development direction also has great potential. Once TV, which can satisfy almost everyone's entertainment requirements, becomes popular, the first batch of media will definitely swallow it up into a giant. Perhaps these TVs are still unable to access limited signals, but Du Lin believes that this day will not be too long. In the end, it is still profit that promotes technological progress.

As for how to do it now, he has an idea, first set up a TV station, and then hire some actors and the like to perform some programs. To put it bluntly, it is to record in advance, and then sell the recorded tapes at cost price to all users who own TVs. Compared with those movies and operas that have been rebroadcast countless times, Dulin's content that keeps up with the times and is different in each issue can definitely attract the attention of most people.

People who can spend 1,200 yuan to buy a TV absolutely don't care about spending more than a dozen yuan a week to buy a tape with a lot of fresh content.

More importantly, there has not been a trust with extremely strong dominance in this industry, and it can even be said that Durin has no opponents! At that time, he can even really cooperate with the George family to broadcast the news in the form of images!

Those publishing companies also came to him to cooperate and provide packaging business, plus the benefits of advertisers, Du Lin can already imagine what a big cake this is!

Once he has countless habitual users with strong stickiness, these people will naturally become his most loyal customers when he establishes a wireless or cable TV station, and his potential political influence will also be greatly improved. If those politicians want to promote their political aspirations and ideas in these upper-middle-class families who have TV sets and stable jobs and form the most important part of society, they must pay fees to Du Lin and have a good relationship with Du Lin. relation!

It can be expected that in the future, Du Lin may also become a giant like the George family, firmly controlling the industry, and all practitioners need to act according to his face!
