Cosma Empire

Early in the morning, Totti brought two strangers in shirts and ties to see Durin outside the manor. The eighth district will break ground tomorrow. Durin told Totti at the time that the drawings for the playground project needed to be revised. to be able to build. Now the two people he brought are the designers specially hired by Albert's manager company, who are responsible for supervising the construction process so that they can be built strictly according to the drawings.

After the three of them sat down in the side hall, they waited for about ten minutes before Du Lin appeared. He was talking on the phone with Scott just now, and the city hall hopes to invite these investors from the Eighth District to cut the ribbon for the construction of the Eighth District. I hope everyone can attend the ceremony tomorrow. This kind of ceremony also started from the federation and spread to the empire. The commercial atmosphere of the federation is more intense. Hundreds of years ago, the federation was just a small loose alliance, and there was no concept of country. Knowing where to find a document that is said to be thousands of years ago, the country was formed according to the agreement on the document.

The status of businessmen in the Federation is very high. Half of the members of the Federation's Supreme Executive Council are business tycoons. The whole society has a crazy worship of money. They firmly believe in anything that may be linked to money and interests.

Before the Great Patriotic War, the citizens of the Yaoxing Empire looked down on the federal people. According to the propaganda of the empire, there lived a group of people who did all kinds of evil for their own interests. They steal other people's children and sell them for money. Parents and children compete for property or betray each other and sell each other. Even husband and wife divorce because of some interests. Whenever people talk about the Federation, it's like discussing some savage creatures that haven't evolved into adults, and they don't even seem to have the most basic morals and ethics.

But after the Great Patriotic War, the arrogant and accustomed imperial people tried the soldiers from the Federation, and finally realized that the Federation is not a weak and barbaric place, and there is a civilized world as brilliant as the Empire there. Perhaps it was precisely because of this war that the imperial people were hurt and scared, and people began to actively understand the Federation, and even learn advanced technology and experience from the Federation.

Ribbon-cutting is such an imported product. There will be ribbon-cutting ceremonies in some federal activities. They will invite local officials and celebrities to participate. Firstly, it is to attract everyone's attention and attention, and secondly, it is also to win a good prize. This kind of small method that does not involve concepts and politics is very popular after being introduced into the empire, even more popular than in the federation.

The reason is simple. The officials of the empire are much more important than the officials of the Federation. If a ribbon-cutting ceremony can invite some heavyweight officials or celebrities, the effect will be better than advertising.

Du Lin agreed to Scott's invitation without even thinking about it, and then said some other things before hanging up.

Totti stood up the first time he saw Du Lin coming in, and the two designers followed suit and stood up somewhat restrainedly.

"Sorry, I was delayed a little by a phone call." Du Lin smiled apologetically and invited them to sit down, "Let's not stand here,

Sit down and talk. It just so happens that I may have a lot to say this time. Have you brought paper and pens? ", the two designers nodded, and then Du Lin talked about his vision.

"At the beginning, many people were not optimistic about this amusement park, thinking that the amusement park could not generate considerable profits. I have a different view from them. If our amusement park targets teenagers and children, the profits may not meet expectations. The goal may even be a loss. But my amusement park targets middle-class families with spending power and star fans who are willing to spend money on their idols, and there are huge profits here.”

"I have an idea that this amusement park needs to be redesigned..." He took out a stick and signaled to the designers whether to smoke, then threw the cigarette case on the table, "I plan to redesign this amusement park To become the first theme amusement park in the empire... The theme amusement park means to give loose and purposeless amusement items a theme, and this theme is a movie!"

"From the gate of the amusement park, I need to point out this theme first. I need a gate design that reminds people of a famous movie at a glance, such as the famous castle gate in a certain movie, or What buildings in other movies should be clear at a glance..."

Du Lin gave the theme amusement parks he had seen in his dreams a makeover. He wanted to catch all the famous movies in these years, and also simply designed some amusement facilities that had never appeared in this world, and A special person was invited to further design. For these two designers, the ideas he gave opened a skylight for their brains, allowing all the previous information to be instilled.

The two of them worked hard, recording Du Lin's words in long paragraphs, and at the same time raising their own questions. Du Lin is more concerned about this amusement park project than other projects. No matter how well a project like a shopping mall is done, it is just a commercial cluster, which does not mean anything. But the completion of the amusement park means that a culture has been conveyed subtly. When riding on a pirate ship, people will think of the clips of riding the wind and waves in pirate movies, and when riding on the rapids, they will recall the thrills of drifting in adventure movies.

This is an invisible and intangible "aggression". What if he put all the gods in the Guart culture into the amusement park? What if he put some of his private goods in the amusement park? People may not be able to wake up immediately, but this kind of influence is real. This is only the first amusement park in his plan, and once it becomes popular, there will be a second, third or even more.

With the recovery of the imperial economy, people's living standards continue to improve in invisible places, and more and more people will yearn to obtain pleasure and satisfaction through consumption, which was regarded as "luxury" in the past. feel. Economic benefits and subtle cultural benefits are all things that Du Lin is very fancy about.

The social status of the Guarts is too low. It doesn't mean that one person can change the world, change people's views on the Guarts, and change the social status by becoming a world-famous big shot. It will take a long time for many people. effort. He is completing it little by little, and hopes to achieve his goal one day.

This "discussion" was almost all Du Lin was talking about, from morning to noon, if Dove hadn't come to remind him that it was time to have lunch, maybe Du Lin wouldn't feel hungry yet.

"Let's eat at my place at noon. Only when you're full can you take out the design drawings." Du Lin invited, but Totti left two designers with excuses, and he still needed to go to the construction site to watch.

During the meal, a designer asked a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Du Lin, I have recorded the things you said in detail, but if the construction is carried out according to the design you requested, maybe...", he was a little He smiled awkwardly, "The construction cost will exceed the budget by a lot!"

Du Lin waved his hands after listening, with a friendly smile on his face, "Don't talk to me about money, money has never been a problem!"

After the meal, the three "discussed" for a while, and the two designers left Du Lin's manor after turning what Du Lin had expressed into simple sketches and descriptions. Standing outside the door with the chilly sea breeze blowing, one of them looked back, shook his head and sighed.

Another designer also had a helpless expression on his face.

It’s not that what Du Lin said deviated from the reality. In fact, many of Du Lin’s ideas inspired them a lot. For example, the “All-Star Avenue” described by Du Lin would be a road made of star palm prints or footprints. of bricks paved the streets. This idea alone is worth a thousand dollars. There can be an All-Star Avenue, but can there be an Entrepreneur Avenue on Xie Lisi Street? Or set up an era avenue outside the Imperial Palace?

Their sighs were aimed at themselves. Even though they were older than Du Lin, they had to travel around for their lives. Looking at Du Lin, they only needed to sit in this luxurious manor and say a few words.

Maybe this is the successful person!

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Du Lin got out of the car according to the time agreed with Scott, stepped on the red carpet and walked towards the venue of the ribbon-cutting ceremony under the constantly bright spotlights. At this time, there were already quite a few people in the venue. Apart from the local rich and famous, those foreign forces who invested here also sent representatives. It may not be a big deal, but it's definitely not a small thing either.

Alexander, who was chatting with someone, immediately begged for mercy when he saw Du Lin coming, and walked towards Du Lin. After the two met, Alexander asked in a low voice: "What's the situation with Juan? I heard that he has been arrested. Arrested and sent to the imperial capital?"

Du Lin nodded, and said solemnly: "It is said that they were suspected of participating in a financial fraud case, and the amount of fraud exceeded 10 million!"

Alexander gasped, with a shocked expression on his face, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "I said, why did Juan suddenly have the courage to put all his wealth on it? It turns out that the money is not his!"

At this time, the news that Juan had mortgaged all his properties had not yet spread, and those who knew about it could count with five fingers.

"He did something he shouldn't have done this time. I hope he doesn't get involved too deeply!" Alexander sighed. Both he and Juan started their families in Illian, so they can be said to be good friends. There is a feeling similar to "comrades in arms".

Du Lin raised the wine glass in his hand, and said with a half-smile: "I always firmly believe that everyone has to pay for what they do, maybe it's good or maybe it's bad!"
