Cosma Empire

There are seven proven lands in the whole world, three of which are in the east and four in the west. The Yaoxing Empire and the Federation are located on the northernmost continent among the four continents. On the other three continents, there are also many people, many countries, and many... wars.

Just like the Eastern envoys who came to this continent looked down on the environment where wars broke out like wild beasts, the people on this so-called Northern Continent also looked down on the people on the other three continents. Backward, so far there has not been a unified civilization, even in the past.

A series of reasons, such as the gap in technology, the gap in culture, and the gap in social structure, have made the Northern Continent occupy a very important position in the Western world, among which the Yaoxing Empire and the Federation are the best. There are three more countries in the south of the Federation, and you can enter the Eastern Continent through a narrow "corridor". The wars between these countries have basically never stopped, which is also the reason why they are lagging behind in all aspects. They don't have enough time to develop technology and civilization. Naturally, in many places, they are not as good as the Northern Continent, which has unified the continent civilization several times.

Of course, even though there are still five countries on this land.

The reason why merchants suddenly wanted to buy those islands that they didn't even bother to look at was related to a naval battle last month. On the other side of the strait, a war broke out between the two countries because "the other party invaded" their own territory. Many people fought in this war. After fighting for more than half a month, the two countries got angry and began to discuss who would win. Who loses, who is reasonable and who is not.

During this process, they discovered that Western countries did not have a clear division of maritime territory, so no one knew who the two patrol ships were infringing on other people's territories before they were counterattacked. In short, this matter has been talking nonsense to each other. .

Until some time ago, those countries believed that in addition to the territory with a clear concept, they should also join the territorial sea, and initiated relevant content, inviting the main heads of state or foreign affairs representatives to participate in the discussion and research. They plan to be on the second of next month, also That is, on February 2nd, international laws and conventions on territorial waters were signed in the Federal State of Komoi.

After this incident broke out, the merchants knew before the people of the Imperial Foreign Office, and they even got some finalized content of the convention, one of which roughly stated how many kilometers of sea area extending from the country's territory was the country's territorial waters. If there are still islands on this sea, then use the islands as the new "land base" to continue to extend outward.

There is a small accident here, because there are more islands on the western continent, and war broke out again among several countries in order to compete for these islands.

After the merchants heard the news, their first thought was that the islands were valuable, because the islands represented the "territory on the sea", and the empire would pay more attention to these islands. A good business, a better business is not necessarily money, but something more valuable than money.

So they made a time difference and wanted to buy some islands in their hands. As for whether they want to run their own business, or use these islands as bargaining chips to negotiate with the empire to obtain additional benefits, it is not clear, because they must first have islands.

Neither Hoxton nor Dooling knew about this. After the royal family of the empire was raised high, the whole country had very little contact with the outside world. Coupled with the economic depression and recession brought about after the war, the focus of the cabinet was not on those things at all. Foreign countries and foreigners who may not have dealt with each other for several years or more, their focus is entirely on a series of social issues that revive the empire and revitalize the economy.

There are very few people in the country who know these things, but they miscalculated the purpose of Du Lin's purchase of these islands. If he just wanted to make a fortune, he might sell the islands to these people.

But he not only knows the word territorial sea, but also knows the convenience that a completely private land can bring to him,

Even say something very extreme. If Du Lin can't get along in the empire in the end, the Federation may launch a war to meet him. reason? Those islands close to the empire's coastline are the reason. After mastering these islands, the federation's encirclement and embarrassment to the empire on the sea will be unprecedentedly improved, restricting the empire's maritime development, which is equivalent to holding an extra knife in its own hand.

So no matter what, Durin will not sell these islands, no matter what price the other party offers.

When he returned to the manor in the evening, Jose was already waiting for him in the manor. He came to deliver a message, and Nasha wanted to see him tomorrow.

After Durin left Illian's side, the manor was vacant, and Jose bought a house by himself, in the second district. He got a lot of money from the gold robbery. Although his net worth is definitely not as rich as Dufo, there is always four or five million yuan. It's just that he feels that compared with the 200,000 yuan houses in the first district, the 70,000 to 80,000 yuan houses in the second district are obviously more economical.

He also happened to have something to say to Du Lin, about bootlegging.

Now the winery's shipments are more than before, but the near-term profits are less than before. Du Lin has not said anything about this, and Jose feels that he is responsible for the reduction in income. Although he didn't know exactly what went wrong, but he didn't complete the work that Du Lin assigned to him, which meant his dereliction of duty, and he needed to be responsible for it.

This is the problem caused by the limitations in culture and knowledge education. Du Lin has been asking them to learn, but not everyone can continue to learn. Including Harvey and the others, except for the regular military training on Wednesdays and weekends to ensure their physical fitness, Durin hired several teachers for them to teach them in the rest of the time. But the effect is very "disappointing", these bastards learn one side and then forget the other side.

After solving Jose's confusion, Du Lin rested. The taste of sailing on the sea was not very pleasant. He didn't get seasick, but he couldn't bear the turbulence, which would make people feel particularly sleepy. He needed a good rest.

At noon the next day, according to the message Jose gave him, he came to a restaurant next to the Empire Star Media Company. When it was almost lunch time, Nasha appeared.

At this time, Nasha was much thinner than the last time I saw her in the imperial capital, but her temperament was more mature. It can be said that all her relatives left her overnight, and she not only wanted to maintain the brand of the George family, but also tried to find a way to re-polish the sign. Her tasks are very heavy, and there is no way to relieve the pressure. She can only forget some troubles through continuous work.

"Sorry, I'm late!" Nasha put her handbag on the table against the wall, she took off her coat, and sat down, "I really wanted to eat fish when I was in the imperial capital, but when I arrived in Illian, I wanted to eat fish again." Are people so contradictory when it comes to eating steak?"

Du Lin shrugged, "This shows that you haven't done enough work!" Looking at the confused Nasha, Du Lin said with a smile: "Because you still have the mood to think about the issues that philosophers need to think about, so I think You haven't worn yourself out yet."

The two ordered some food respectively and waited for the waiter to leave before Nasha sighed, "I have been fully involved in the management of the company and I found that this is a very troublesome thing. There are always conflicts between various departments. Inexplicable contradictions, even if I solve these things, new contradictions will still appear, as if someone is against me and doesn't want to make me relax. Can I ask a question, how do you manage your industry?"

This is also something that Nasha is very curious about. She is two years older than Du Lin, and she thinks that she has much more knowledge and knowledge than Du Lin, but look at it the other way around. Now Du Lin's property is much more than she is in charge of, but she is much more tired than Du Lin. She believes that there are geniuses in this world, so she wants to ask how can Du Lin be so relaxed. Manage all your industries well.

The two of them sitting here look like friends, but they can't be friends, which always feels weird.

Du Lin didn't mind sharing his experience. He leaned back on the chair in a very relaxed posture, "You must ensure that you have enough prestige to make everyone submit to you and feel fear, and dare not do anything. Things that go against your will, only in this way will they abide by the rules you made, and actively offend your majesty without the influence of external forces that can compete with you."

Nasha listened very carefully, and she said thoughtfully, "You mean to use high-pressure tactics to make people feel nervous? So is there a more reasonable way to compete so that they can understand the result of failure? I see. , enhance internal competitiveness, expand the chance of internal elimination, and make people feel a sense of crisis, only in this way will they work seriously!", Nasha's eyes are a bit complicated, "You always make people feel sudden, Du Lin .Look, I need to ask you for advice. I believe you haven't asked anyone else. Only after I met you did I know that there are people in this world who were kissed on the forehead by God before they were born!"

Du Lin shook his finger, "You're wrong..." Looking at Nasha's astonished expression, he found it very interesting, "First, I believe in the former kings and gods, I don't believe in God, if that old guy wants to Kiss my forehead, and the gods will surely behead him first."

"Second point, I'm not as great as you said, and my management of the industry is not as complicated as you think, although I did achieve the level you imagined."

"You must be curious about how I did it. It's actually very simple..." Du Lin couldn't help laughing, "I told them, I will kill anyone who doesn't follow the rules!"

"So they are very obedient!"
