Cosma Empire

Chapter 456 Fool [3]

The veteran nobles in the north are a force that cannot be ignored. Although these nobles have lost their titles of nobles, their social class has never changed. They just lost control over their territory and lost the ability to kill ordinary people, but economically and politically, they were still the nobles before.

The silver stamped mark on this document belongs to the Shengge family, which should be called the Shengge Consortium now.

This family is said to have existed for a long time. Their ancestors were not imperial nobles, but priests. As for why a priest became a nobleman, according to the Shengge family, their ancestors cured an acute disease that broke out on the emperor at that time . In order to thank the priest for his outstanding contribution to the empire, His Majesty the Emperor canonized the priest as a nobleman of the empire.

This is the origin of the Anthem family, which has continued from becoming a nobleman to today. The wealth and connections accumulated over hundreds of years are enough to allow them to have great power. If Magus hadn't successfully usurped power and overthrew the decadent old rule, maybe they didn't need to "ask" Du Lin for instructions, and just order Du Lin to give up a gambling card.

This is a troublesome matter. The trouble is not that the other party has strong financial resources, but the connections in their hands. Once Dooling decides to reject their request, they may find Harry's head, or even Magus's head, to put pressure on themselves.

As some people say, an aristocrat will always be an aristocrat and will always wear a pair of trousers.

He put down the file with some annoyance. It is absolutely impossible to complete the gambling card. The gambling card and the rules he made for the city are fundamental to maintaining his interests, and it is to keep the city following the route he planned. Basically, there is absolutely no compromise. And some things are not because the specific content cannot be compromised, but because of the position, and because of their own dignity and majesty.

If he compromised because today's opponent is a veteran aristocrat from the north, what would others think of him? Maybe you will think that Du Lin is actually a bullying guy. He can justly reject the demands of those capitalists, and even said that it is impossible to have a wholly-owned casino. Gaps with all supporters.

Maybe another large consortium will come here to seek a gambling card tomorrow, and another consortium will appear the day after tomorrow. In the end, not only will he lose face, but his reputation will also be ruined.

So no matter what, you have to grit your teeth and hold on.

Of course, the situation is not that bad. He is just planning for the worst. According to the plan he agreed with Muggs and others, Muggs and the others will not touch him until it is fully realized, and they will not Put too much pressure on him.

If the other party is willing to follow the rules, he doesn't mind allowing one more famous name to enter the inner circle of Odis City. But if the other party doesn't intend to follow the rules, he will also teach the other party how to behave.

Letting go of the document for now, he suddenly looked up and saw Dove standing on the side, "You can go and find a press officer for us, as soon as possible!" After watching Dove leave the office to carry out his order, Du Lin opened the document. the second document. This is a plan about the city's public transport routes. The public transport operating company needs the mayor's final signature before the route can be completely determined...

At this time, outside the window behind Doolin, on the corner of the street, Hageson was sitting in a restaurant and was being interviewed by Alice. For Hagesen, it is definitely a pleasant morning with a delicious free breakfast and a pleasing beauty.

"What do you think is the most distinctive feature of this city?" Alice's eyes shone with a gleam of satisfaction. Obviously, this young man is much easier to deal with than Mayor Durin. Under her guidance, this young man The staff has begun to cooperate with her train of thought. Although I feel that this guy's temperament is a bit different from ordinary people, but during the interview process with great news value,

has been ignored by her.

She still needs to continue to guide this young man to keep up with her "rhythm" and say what she needs, "I heard that many people in the north-central part of the empire regard this place as a new paradise, is that true?"

Hageson squeezed the ear of the coffee cup and nodded, "That's true. There are many opportunities here. Whether you are a worker or a businessman, you can find the possibility to realize your dreams here. The imperial dream is not It’s not far away, it’s right beside us, as long as you’re willing to stretch out your hand, it’s possible to touch it!” Hageson smiled and put the teacup into the saucer, and licked his moist lips, “This is the The biggest difference from other places, anyone can find opportunities and hope from here."

Alice's dazed eyes woke up as Hugson's voice fell back. She thought that this young man would say something explosive, but she didn't expect him to say such an official statement, which made her a little suspicious Is it because I guided it wrong, or this guy's brain has been washed out.

She gave a dry laugh and continued to ask: "I heard some news that I don't know where it came from. It is said that the mayor of this city is acting as an umbrella for some illegal businesses. It is precisely because of this behavior that they are here. Will invest more here, will you?"

Hageson showed some surprised expressions, "God, I don't know where you heard these terrible rumors, but I think Miss Reporter, with your IQ, should be able to understand the truth of these rumors. This is simply an impossible thing, as I just said, people invest here because it is full of unprecedented potential and hope, as for the illegal business you mentioned, it does not exist here."

does not exist?

Alice herself was also a little confused, she had already said everything in detail, and even said something she shouldn't have said, but seeing the other party's reaction... Could it be that I made a mistake when I collected the information?

Alice's mind was a little confused at this time, she decided to ignore what this guy named Hugson said, picked up the record book and turned a few pages, found some stimulating topics, and then asked: "I have read A few reports, and some facts, some time ago, the mayor of Dooling ordered the police chief, Hayter, to kill some innocent citizens in the hall of the Imperial Bank of China, what do you think of this matter?"

Hageson smiled and shook his head, "Ma'am, I think your interview position is very problematic. First of all, I must tell you that slandering an ordinary person for making fake news, and slandering the mayor of a city for making a series of fake news News, the legal ruling is different. In the former you may only need to pay some damages to reputation, but in the latter you may face jail time.”

"I hadn't been to Odis at the time of the incident, but I have a more real understanding of the incident. It is said that some deported citizens clashed with Police Chief Haight and attempted to seize Chief Haight's pistol. And attacked him, after the warning was ineffective, the police officers around Chief Hite shot those thugs in order to protect the pistol from being taken away and the safety of Chief Hite.” The serious expression on his face was gone long ago The previous smile, "The wounded died unfortunately due to excessive blood loss on the way to Namirindes, and returned to the embrace of God. As for what you have heard, it is just a rumor."

"But...", Alice wanted to continue the "interview" unwillingly, but Hagson didn't give her this chance.

He took the napkin and wiped his lips, then stood up, bowed very politely, "Thank you very much Ma'am for your generous hospitality, it's my working time. You should know that as a member of the city hall, we have strict In order to avoid being troubled by my boss, I have to go first!", he glanced at the watch on his wrist, the bright diamond reflected blinding light under the sunlight.

“The coffee is very pure and the muffins are delicious too. Goodbye!”

Looking at the back of Hugson leaving, Alice suddenly felt that she had made a mistake. When she came back to her senses, the waiter had already stood aside with a smile on her hand, "Dear Madam, Are you paying in cash, or by check?"

Looking at the dazzling numbers on the bill, Alice felt a desire to go crazy. She flipped through her handbag, slapped the last few coins and a five-yuan note on the table, and stood up angrily towards the door. go outside. After walking two steps and coming back, he picked up the unfinished coffee and untouched muffins on the table and devoured them dryly, glaring at the waiter before leaving quickly.

Now it's over, and even the travel expenses to go back are gone!

When Donald met Hugson at the gate of the city hall, it was a little strange. The smile on this guy’s face gave people a kind of... like the joy of a thief stealing valuables. He couldn’t help but leaned over and asked, " What is so happy?", since the two "relaxed" together that night, their relationship has become much more harmonious.

Hugson glanced back at the restaurant in the distance, shrugged his shoulders, "I ran into a fool!", and couldn't help laughing after finishing speaking.

Indeed, Alice looked like a fool to him. Although Hagson had his own arrogance and looked down upon ordinary people, he was from aristocratic family after all, and he was also from a great noble family. He knew exactly when to say something.

He can speak ill of Du Lin and bear the consequences, which may cause problems with the family's plan for him.

He can also not say good things about Du Lin as he did just now, but he can't say bad things about Du Lin either.

Even if he disagrees with Du Lin, the struggle should not be enlarged.

This is the bottom line.

The political literacy that comes from a series of factors such as identity, status, family, and environment makes it difficult for ordinary people to hold a candle to.
