Cosma Empire

"Mr. Donald has already called you several times, and I hope you can call him back when you come back." As soon as Du Lin arrived at the villa, Dove told him what happened after he left while taking off his coat for him. I don't know if it's because Dove has gained personal experience as mayor secretary-general for a while, or she has already smelled something special. This time Du Lin chose to come to the west, and she followed directly.

Du Lin nodded, greeted everyone, and then got into the study. Now he holds unparalleled huge liquidity in his hands, as long as he wants, he can form a medium-sized consortium anytime and anywhere. But his future is not in business, so the money will not be used elsewhere for the time being. After arriving in the west, he asked people to buy a larger villa in several major cities to accommodate the people who came with him.

After entering the study room, he picked up a towel to wipe off the invisible dust on his hands, brought himself a glass of wine, and then sat on the chair and called Donald.

"I heard that you have something you want to tell me?" Du Lin made it clear as soon as the call was connected.

Donald on the other end of the phone squeaked, "Yes, I think we should have a good talk about Odis City before things change completely."

"You can say it now, I'm listening!" Du Lin took a sip of the wine. This is not a product produced by Illian, but a wine brought by a local agent from an authorized party, but this kind of wine is not circulated much. There is not much water artificially added in it, it is the second puree, and some spices are added to keep the wine with a light fragrance, and the drink is not so monotonous.

Donald organized the language, and he called Du Lin hoping to talk to Du Lin, which was a great effort. After all, Du Lin has tormented him enough during this time, he is the real victim, but he has to communicate with Du Lin from the standpoint of doing something wrong, which makes him very uncomfortable and indignant.

After about a few seconds, he said: "Du Lin, we have worked together for a while, and we should know each other very well. You know who I am, and I also know who you are. Let this farce end here. Stop it! It won't do you or me any good to continue. This is something that shouldn't have happened. No matter what kind of problems arise, the first thing we should do is communicate, not fight."

"Now Odis City is facing a huge problem. If it can't be solved, it will have a lasting impact after the spring. I believe this is something we don't want to see. It's still too late to stop now. We can negotiate a solution between us. differences, what do you think?"

Donald felt that his words were very sincere, and his tone was already begging for perfection. It could even be said that he was begging Du Lin to end all the previous things, and he would pretend that nothing had happened, and he was willing to make a certain degree of sacrifice compromise.

The solution his father told him he thought about more deeply,

In fact, it can't perfectly solve his current situation. He is a nobleman himself, and he understands how demanding these big capitalists are for power and interests. Once he takes refuge in the Capet family, his power will also be reduced to a level where he can only "maintain" his status as mayor. In the future, all matters that exceed his authority must be discussed with the Capet family. will become a puppet.

If this line of thinking continues, then it is obviously more appropriate to reach a compromise with Du Lin than to rely on the Capet family to maintain their status. He knew what kind of person Du Lin was. As long as he didn't violate the rules he made, he wouldn't say anything even if he flew into the sky. He had more freedom than joining the Capet family and the Anthem Consortium.

So with his last hope, he came to beg Du Lin to forgive him, and then sat down to settle the matter.

Du Lin played with the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Is there anything else to say?"

This sentence obviously directly erased the efforts of Donald's words just now, which made Donald's anger a little uncontrollable, "Du Lin, I know you are very powerful, but you have to understand. In this empire, you are not alone One person, and many others, can make you powerless. I'm just trying my best to resolve this matter peacefully, if we can't reach an agreement..." The voice in the receiver suddenly cut off For a moment, "Let's start the war head-on. I won't necessarily lose, and you won't necessarily win either!"

Du Lin put the cup in his hand on the table and sat up a little bit upright, "If that's all you want to tell me, I can only tell you clearly, then let's go to war!"

"Mayor Donald, you have only two options, apologize and get out of my city."

"Or let me defeat all your persistence and pride, and drive you out of my city."

"You don't have any other options, and please remember, no one can force me to do something I don't want to do, no one can!"

The phone hung up with a snap, causing Donald on the other end of the phone to feel a severe stomachache when he was angry. He was very angry with Du Lin. He had already compromised, but Du Lin was still aggressive! As long as he voluntarily resigns, he will not have any further room in the political arena in the future. Politics is a very cruel circle. This is not the film and television industry. If you fail a movie, you can do it again. It is not the sports circle. Failure and victory are common.

Here, as long as you fail once, those around you who are in the same position and keep climbing will use you as a stepping stone, stepping on you to climb to a higher place, and there will be no room for resistance.

For his own future, in order to regain the glory of the family, Donald could only choose to join the Capet family after Du Lin refused to compromise. He had to struggle, even if he lost in the end, at least he tried.

He asked his secretary to get some wine for him, took a deep breath after taking some painkillers, and felt better. Then he picked up the phone and dialed the head of the Capet family. He had to have a good talk with the old man .

In fact, after Solo returned without success, the Capet family almost extinguished the idea of ​​continuing to fight for interests in Otis. Du Lin's set of cross-shareholdings is by far the most complicated and most involved shareholding plan. If you want to win a casino, you have to convince at least a few dozen shareholders to win the majority of the casino's shares. If you want to completely own a casino, you have to convince 140 shareholders.

No one is a fool, and only the mentally handicapped would be willing to use a few years of profits to buy an equity that will generate continuous profits and can even be regarded as a "family heirloom".

But unexpectedly, the peak turned around, and a huge conflict broke out between the new mayor of Otis, Donald and Doolin, which made some old people in the Capet family think that this might be an opportunity to regain their control of the casino. With Donald's cooperation, and the coercion of their Capet family and Anthem consortium, there will be people who are afraid of death and hand over their shares.

Just at this time, Donald's phone call brought his attention back to the hinterland of the empire, which had been focusing on opening the net exit zone jointly with the Fatima family.

At the same time, Magus, the great prime minister of the empire, was also paying attention to this matter.

He was receiving his good friend Barr in his study room. The two had known each other for decades, and their relationship was very close, almost to the point of talking about everything. Of course, being able to talk about everything with a big man like Magus, Barr also has a certain status. After talking about some other things, the two quickly turned the topic to what happened in Odis recently.

The internal affairs investigation team within the New Party has not launched the investigation process on Donald, but Magus raised his hand to stop it. It is not suitable to use a knife now. The best time to use a knife is to wait until the main course is on the table.

"I didn't expect that young man in Du Lin to have such a terrifying ability to act. His wisdom and ability should not appear in a farmer's son. Such an outstanding young man may be recruited by us. I heard Say you have a granddaughter?" Barr was chewing beef jerky while shaking his raised legs. If there are other nobles in the room, they will definitely be shocked. The two former big figures of the empire don't look like nobles at all, just like those commoners.

Maggs rolled his eyes, "My granddaughter is only nine years old this year, and I don't intend to make up for Du Lin's last shortcoming. You also admitted that he is terrible. If you give him a bigger stage, no one will know about him. What shocking things will happen!"

Barr touched his temple hair, and stroked it back with the pads of his fingers, "I admire him very much, you can ask him if he is willing to marry me, my granddaughter is just right, she is already sixteen years old."

"You're playing with fire, understand?" Magus also picked up a piece of dried beef jerky and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing, "He can turn Donald and old Cape around with nothing, if you Give him more things, then the one who is played around by him may be yourself."

"His ambition is too great. What the empire needs now is not ambitious people, but to restore the strength of the empire as soon as possible. It seems that the possibility of war in the future is unlikely, but have you noticed that other places besides us Wars are breaking out frequently, after all, the world is not safe."

"We are facing a world that is constantly changing, full of changes and storms. If we cannot get through this period safely, we will usher in destruction!"

"Extreme Zionists, federations, nobles, financial groups, restless civilians, ambitious politicians... There are too many things that are dangerous to our cause. The only thing we should do is to protect ourselves while purifying Classes within the empire!"
