Chapter 949: Su Bo Envoy
"When are you going to get married?"
After the two sat down, Maggs's first words made Durin a little unresponsive, was he so eager?
He glanced at Mags suspiciously, crossed his legs and shook twice, there was no change in expression on his face, not surprised, not strange, it looked like he was thinking for a while, and said, "In half a year, I don't want to miss the election." ”
Maggs nodded, and that's where Durin was smart, he didn't avoid the issue, and he also recognized the benefits of getting married for his campaign. Now that he and his niece have not known each other for long, a hasty marriage will make the wedding look like some kind of fornication between interests, and his marriage will become less valuable.
There is no doubt that marriage is sacred, even if the empire is a little ahead of its time in many ways and has a distinctive aesthetic, but when it comes to family matters, it is in a state of approval from top to bottom. A perfect family can add a lot of points to a public figure in the spotlight, including politicians.
Family is a manifestation of social responsibility, in this world there is no such thing as self-cultivation and family peace, but everyone has the same understanding of the essence of truth, if a politician can't even run a family well, how can he manage the countless families in the whole society well? At the beginning, Peter and Lady Vivien had already fallen out like strangers, and they still maintained their marriage, just to ensure that Peter would not be deducted too much in the family.
Half a year later, Duhrin got married and had a family, which indicates that he will take on more personal responsibilities and social responsibilities, which is a sign of maturity, and can please a lot of rational voters and the middle class, so he is really serious about it.
This is also the most satisfying thing about Durin, he seems to be very young, but in fact, his perspective on problems has something in common with the way of thinking of old people like Mags, who have experienced a lot of things, to ensure that he has a sharp side, and he can make himself very old, so that there is only one person with contradictory characteristics in the entire empire.
"You're going to have an engagement ceremony next weekend, you know, there's something that has to be taken first. Maggs didn't say it thoroughly, but During understood, this was a statement, and then Maggs said, "Since you have chosen this path, then you should understand that many times the interests of the individual are never more important than the interests of the collective." ”
"I've always heard that the Townsfolk Association is a very xenophobic non-governmental organization, which is very bad, you know that the country's current general policy has been trying to promote ethnic integration, and the Ogdings, Guerts, Provincial Ya people or others, strictly speaking, are all citizens of the Empire, they are all Imperial people!", Maggs also has a little prejudice against the Townspeople's Association, and he used to have a "relationship" with Duhrin Not to this level, so there are some things he won't say, and now that Durin is going to be his niece and son-in-law, and he also hopes to be able to reverse Durin's values and make him the most trustworthy person in this empire, he will naturally say more.
If this problem cannot be solved at the root, the ideological and racial barriers will only become more and more serious in the future, and may eventually have some bad effects.
Durin immediately nodded yes, "I'm already working on the bylaws, and I don't know if you've noticed, but recently I've added more faces to my team that haven't been seen before. Of course, I used to be a little narrow-minded in some ways, and you will soon see something different. ”
Maggs didn't know how many times he was satisfied with Doolin's behavior, and he also noticed that there were three more eye-catching characters in Doolin's team, one was a woman from Natia, a former senior partner of the Southern Commercial Bank, a native of Ogding, who was now mainly responsible for Doolin's finances. As we all know, finance is always the most important and most private issue for individuals or businesses, and it is the real core, not the kind of person who absolutely trusts will not touch these things, and the addition of Natia has changed many people's views on Durin, or prejudice.
The other two are the Hill sisters, who are known as the shame of the nobility, although they are not very well-known in aristocratic circles now, but it is undeniable that Dührin made a good move, and he made some nobles start to look at him seriously, which is very important.
Coupled with this marriage, he integrated into the nobility faster than he and Maggs himself could have imagined.
After a pause, Durin continued, "There is a part of the business that I plan to give up, and as a public figure, I have long been mentally prepared that I will end all the moonshine business......
Maggs glanced at Durin in surprise, he knew very well how terrible Doolin's current moonshine business in the empire was, and some data showed that although Doolin's market share was gradually declining, his profits were rising. In the case of Illian's distillery, it can currently provide more than three million profits for Doolin every year, and moonshine is not only about profits, but also about the market and the right to speak.
Those things can no longer be measured simply by money, power is always above money!
Maggs sighed silently, this is the terrible thing about Durin, he can give up anything that needs to be given up in order to achieve his goal, without hesitation, without nostalgia, he will cut it when he says it. Even if this deal is given to some big nobles in the empire, they will not give it up so easily, there are too many benefits in it!
The complex light in his eyes flashed, he didn't know if he was right or wrong to raise Durin, this young man was too terrible, his determination, his unwavering pursuit of his goal, and his ruthlessness were destined not to make him an ordinary person, I hope that the choices he made will not make him regret.
Soon Maggs became perked up again, and it was precisely because Durin was so good that if he could stand in the right position and unanimously consider the Empire, then the Empire would not need to think about big trouble for at least a hundred years in the future, and if such a person was placed in the past, he must be a person who will be remembered by history.
"I'm glad you did, you're the best young man I've ever met, and I hope you can go further!"
The two then went on to talk about a number of other things, including some of the interests of the City of Otis, and on the basis of not touching Doolin's most important resources, Maggs hoped that Dollin would be able to transfer some of the land in his hands to the City Hall of Otis, so that the City Hall would hold a certain amount of land.
Now the city of Otis can be said to be the back garden of Doolin, this is definitely not a joke, after the city area of Otis City has expanded in a circle, there is still sixty-four percent of the land owned by Doolin privately, which has touched the nerves of some people. No one has raised this in the past for two reasons.
On the one hand, these plots were privately auctioned by Duhrin through the City Hall auction before the city of Otis became a special district, and all his actions were followed by the legal staff of the Ministry of Justice throughout the whole process, and there were no irregularities. He even invited a large number of well-known wealthy people and entrepreneurs in society to participate in the auction by letter, including a considerable number of nobles. But everyone knows that at that time, the city of Otis was a wasteland, and the entire city sometimes paid less than ten dollars a year in taxes.
Yes, a city pays less than ten dollars in taxes, and this is still the territory of the new party, which is enough to show that this place is no different from the garbage dump, and there is no other possibility to spend money on land in Otis City except for brain problems. If all his formalities are legal, then these property rights should belong to Durin.
On the other hand, the reason is that the privileged class also wants to be faced, and it is not impossible to do this kind of thing, the key is to do it beautifully. If Durin was a fool they would have done it a long time ago, but Durin was treacherous and did not look like a young man, cutting off the thoughts of these people. Moreover, Dühring is very good at using public opinion, always portraying himself as an oppressed minority dreamer of the imperial dream, and plundering him may trigger a series of serious social phenomena, and in today's rapid expansion of capitalism, once an uncontrollable bad influence occurs, it is very likely to shake the foundation of the country.
No one will watch their wealth being plundered by others in various names but indifferent, today's silence means the silence of others tomorrow when disaster befalls them, those capitalists will desperately make things bigger, which will outweigh the losses.
Now that Du Lin has to participate in the game according to the rules of the game, some things have become simpler, and there is no need for any intrigues, just let him out.
Dührin has no opinion on this, he will keep no more than 30% of the property rights, and give 34% of the city's property rights to the city hall without compensation. By doing so, he made Mags feel like a bastard, even if Durin shouted a high price, Magus would accept it, anyway, they had just plundered the federal bank of the Federation, and they had never felt that they were so rich, and the cabinet was now looking at money like looking at paper. But Dulin didn't mention the money, and wanted to donate it to the city of Otis, which was not easy to do.
Maggs glared at Durin and scolded the bastard, and Durin responded with a smile.
I can't help you make a move, I'll fight back, I'll fight back!
Anyway, these things will eventually be lost, so let these things maximize their own interests in the process of loss, not only to donate to the town hall, but also to stir up media opinion, create a hot topic, and let the whole world know that they have donated hundreds of millions of wealth to the city hall of Otis City, to the imperial government!
Star politician, this is Doolin's plan for his next stage!
