Cosma Empire

Look at these people, people from the Imperial Bank of China, people from the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, and even people from the Ministry of Finance. To be honest, these people are not the same as Du Lin, and there is still a gap between them. After all, when he took the Except for the chamber of commerce, he got the 30 million gold www..lā he didn't understand why Mr. Jack invited them here and met him.

If Mr. Jack can't say a reason, he will turn around and leave immediately, and he will also hold the king accountable for this matter.

Mr. Jack gave a wry smile, and slowed down his pace again, "The king means that these people are people who can cooperate, they can provide more and more stable funds, and they also have higher execution power. His lord king asked me to Let me tell you, he did this out of selfishness, he wanted to maintain and deepen his relationship with these people and the organizations behind them, so he invited them to come to me for a chat.”

"You can choose to make them our partners, or you can pretend that you don't know anything. The specific choice is yours, not mine or the king."

Du Lin really didn't expect that the king not only had selfishness, but also conveyed it to him through Mr. Jack, and put the final choice in his hands. He thought for a moment, then whispered, "I'm afraid we won't be able to satisfy their appetite... unless more people are brought in, I'll make a call!"

Then Mr. Jack took Dulin to the side hall, and then closed the door. Dulin called Harry and then called Colliers. Harry couldn't come over immediately because he was in the capital, but Ke Liers was nearby, already on the way.

After waiting for about twenty or thirty minutes, Colliers arrived here, and he also brought Harry's plenipotentiary—Harry's nephew.

Colliers was naturally well-known as a railway tycoon, and the three big shots present knew him well. Du Lin asked Merlin to take Suri around and closed the door by the way. After thinking for a while, he started the real topic of today - how to cause great damage and impact on the Federation's finances!

The big shots in the room originally thought that this was just a small gathering to connect with each other on weekdays, or to make new friends to enrich their small circle, but when Du Lin mentioned the theme of today's gathering, everyone became Be extra serious. Dooling's theme was more likely to grab their attention than making new friends.

As we all know, in the Civil War where it was unclear who won, the Federation firmly held the empire's tariff power as a condition for the armistice, which made the empire suffer a lot from the trade between the two countries, and the deficit was exceptionally large. serious. According to the armistice treaty signed at that time, the federation will hold the imperial tariff right for at least 30 years. After 30 years, the empire needs to pay 5 billion star dollars at a time to redeem the tariff right and realize the goal of independent tariff.

If it can't pay, then the federal government will continue to hold actual control of the tariff for twenty years, which is a three-plus-two deal.

If it wasn't for that war, if it wasn't for the sudden increase in the momentum of the new party within the empire, in order to quell the external war as soon as possible and prevent the new party from usurping the throne, the royal family might not have such a shameful agreement. But the agreement has been signed, and no amount of ifs will help.

The civilians may not feel how this agreement has brought about any changes in their lives, but this agreement has made the merchants and the empire management feel the pain, the deep pain, which will become a thorn in the side forever. On the heart, even if it is pulled out in the future, it will leave obvious scars, which will never be forgotten by people.

The empire's economy has been sluggish in these years. It can be said that the trauma caused by the war is too heavy and has never recovered. It can also be said that the empire lost too much initiative in foreign trade, which made it difficult for the economy to improve for a long time, until the continuous innovation of science and technology in recent years solved some problems that plagued the past. The coming effect has loosened some financial markets,

achieved economic recovery.

When Duhring said that he would hit the federal economy hard, these big figures began to pay more attention to it. If they can bring a violent impact and a great negative impact on the federal financial market at this very delicate time, not only can the Obtaining a certain degree of initiative in bilateral trade is a major event to boost the national spirit of the country. At this moment, interests and the like seem to be less important, what is important is how to make the federal people unlucky.

While the gentlemen in the room were listening to Du Lin's narration of his plan, they were also constantly making phone calls, so that the number of members who actually participated in the game increased directly from the ten people Du Lin estimated to twenty. Many people, including Magus, and a guy named Kubal-this guy is the current leader of the old party, a former Imperial Duke, a member of the royal family, a general of the Praetorian Guard Corps, and a lot of other titles.

And Du Lin's plan has also grown from a scale of 300 million to 700 million. Everyone decided to play a big one. Earning more and earning less is not the most important thing. The important thing is to let the Federation feel what pain is!

Actually, it was just a small plan at first....

Outside the room, Su Rui kept staring at a painting hanging on the wall at the end of the corridor in the garden. She couldn't touch the painting through the glass shield, but she seemed to have heard about it somewhere.

In the painting, there is a shoemaker, sitting in the corner of the room and fiddling with a shoe. A total of thirteen people are watching him by the door and window of this house. The eyes of these people are full of surprise and sublime tribute. There are white clouds in the sky at the upper left corner of the window, and a child with wings can be faintly seen smiling in the white clouds.

This painting is called "Work", and it is the highest achievement of Fenty, the representative of the famous consciousness painting school more than 400 years ago. Countless scholars and experts have seen something different from this painting. More than ten different books have emerged devoted to explaining the meaning behind the painting and what Fenty was thinking when he painted it.

Perhaps it was because the painting was so famous that Su Rui quickly recalled it. It was unbelievable that she would be able to see this painting here. Although I don't know whether this painting is real or fake, but looking at the surrounding environment and those staggering decorations, it's hard to imagine that there will be a pile of shit in a pile of dazzling gold coins, so Suri thinks this The picture is real.

She sighed deeply, she had tried her best to understand the world of rich people, but at this moment she realized that if she was not in it, she would never be able to understand the real world of rich people How is it different from the world of ordinary people?

They can put thousands of dollars worth of blankets under their feet instead of hanging on the walls.

They can hang lampshades worth hundreds of dollars like works of art all over every place in the corridor that needs to be illuminated.

They were able to make a toilet out of a huge piece of onyx, and inlaid gold as an embellishment for the rim of the toilet.

Their... world is truly incomprehensible.

This painting is worth at least three million yuan, but it was hung here silently, without constant temperature equipment, lights, reporters, scholars, students and teachers who are studying or studying the painting. In this way, it was hidden in this uninhabited corner, and lost the glory it should have had!

"What's wrong with this painting?" Merlin didn't know much about these things. In his opinion, this was a somewhat inexplicable painting. Maybe the leather shoes in the shoemaker's hands were too smelly, so it scared all the guests out of the house. , There is a kind of contempt in the eyes of these guests.

Look, everyone can interpret different things. This is the charm of the works of the top art masters, and this is the innovation brought by the school of consciousness to the oil painting world. It has been difficult to produce such great works until now, and many artists have begun to reflect on what changed the things created by artists, like dead things without souls.

Merlin didn't know anything about it, he was just curious why Suri, who kept exclaiming in front of those decorations and hanging ornaments, kept silent in front of a painting.

Su Rui glanced back at Merlin and sighed again. She understood that this was the life she was after, a life that could be caught by her, but definitely not the life she wanted the most.

If Merlin has higher knowledge, higher taste in life, and more interest in life...

Maybe she can't be Merlin's girlfriend, because she doesn't deserve it!

"Let's go to other places, this place is really big!" Su Rui took Merlin's arm and walked along the corridor to other open rooms. She gradually got lost in this luxurious castle, and soon wake up. She realized that this might be the place where a princess in a fairy tale should live, but she is not a princess, she cannot wear a crown, she can only be the wife of a vulgar man, enjoying a vulgar but rich life.

People always feel inferior in front of things beyond their imagination, which has nothing to do with ambition and desire, it is purely an invisible class crush.

They wandered around the castle for a long time, and even they were the only two of them at dinner time. During this period, people kept driving over to join the secret meeting in the conference room. After dinner, the butler of the castle told them that they could choose a room, because the owner and Mr. Dooling were receiving some very important guests, and today's meeting might go on very late, so they would not go back.

This made Su Rui very happy, and staying overnight in such a place would become her biggest bragging rights.

Su Rui was extraordinarily open tonight, allowing Merlin to experience a joy that he had never experienced before!
