The independence referendum is very bluffing, and the purpose of the new generation consortium is not really to want several cities with San Lodu as the core to become independent from the federal system, which does not benefit them at all, and it can be said to be an act of digging their own graves. Once they are really independent, first of all, their industries in various places will be affected, and being directly "expropriated" by the state is already the best outcome, and it is very likely that they will be nationalized for various reasons. A consortium can't have only one or two, two or three industries, it's a huge conglomerate.

Just like the Atlantic Group that has just fallen, that is, the Atlantic Consortium, in addition to Atlantic Chemical, United Construction Engineering, and United Pharmaceutical, there are more than a dozen different listed companies of all sizes, as well as more small and medium-sized enterprises. These things form a complete consortium, and it is by no means as simple as a few companies being able to say that they are a consortium. Once their property is nationalized, or expropriated, they will be demoralized and reduced to ordinary capitalist power, so this is not what they want.

What they want is to bring the coalition to the negotiating table, to negotiate the current situation, to find a solution acceptable to all, to get through the crisis.

These people are smart!

Du Lin quickly paid attention to the surroundings, and the action of taking out twenty yuan just now was seen by some people around him, who surrounded him, and he didn't get too close, staring at him from a distance.

Now the form of the bottom of the federation is too bad, the currency is depreciating faster than people think, and the money in the hands of many people is quickly becoming worthless, which makes many families face many difficulties, and filling their stomachs is one of them. Under the financial tsunami, a large number of small, medium and micro enterprises have collapsed, and some large banks have also been involved, and the entire commodity society is more like a complex and sophisticated instrument, as long as there is a problem with one large component, the whole machine will soon fall into a state of stop.

Losing their jobs, depreciating their money rapidly, and making it difficult to live in an environment that forces some people to take risks and commit crimes to get what they need to live.

"We're being targeted. Dover whispered in Durin's ear.

Durin quietly observed the surroundings, and indeed a few people seemed to be faintly surrounding him and Dufo, this was the second day he had come to St. Lodu, and the city they had entered overnight last night. San Lodu is in the middle of the eastern part of the Federation, and after crossing San Lodo, there are two more cities, and it is close to the border of the Federation. Durin's plan was to take a little rest here and leave tomorrow. They spanned nearly 1,000 kilometers in three days, and everyone was a little tired, not only physically, but also mentally.

It is not easy to be aware of the changes around you at all times, to beware of the sudden appearance of the pursuers, and to keep a low profile.

"It should have something to do with the twenty dollars I just gave, let's go back first. With that, the two of them walked towards the hotel, yes, Durin is now staying in the hotel. Falsifying his identity is not a difficult thing to do, this time Durin sniped at the Federation's finances, and Maggs asked the military to give Durin considerable convenience, making several real fake identities for him. These identities are very real, and they can even be said to stand up to anyone's scrutiny, because these identities are real and have been accumulated by the intelligence services for many years.

There was absolutely no need for him to avoid the public's attention, this was the Federation, and there were not as many people who knew him as the Empire's dogs.

Seeing that Durin was already approaching the vicinity of the hotel, there was a guy who couldn't help it, he ran and chased after him for a few steps, and chased after him, "Sir, wait a minute." ”

Du Lin stopped, one of Du Fo's hands was inserted into his arms, this action made the man's face change slightly, no matter what Du Fo had in his arms, it was definitely not a good thing, the first thing he thought of was the pistol.

The man who called them out looked to be in his thirties, his clothes were very shabby, the collar and cuffs were covered in a thick layer of putty, and his hair seemed to have not been washed in a long time. Du Lin raised his eyebrows and looked at him, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said in a low voice, "I haven't eaten for two days, can you give me a little money, I can do anything for you." ”

There weren't many people on the streets, and most of them were going to the referendum for wheat and meat, which made the streets near the hotel seem a little empty. Although the law and order in San Lodu has deteriorated to an unprecedented level, it can still be said to be the most secure city compared to other cities. A large number of consortia are stationed here, and a little money in their pockets is enough to stabilize the city.

But not everyone can fill their stomachs, capitalists are never philanthropists, and all their acts of buying people are not good deeds, but only serve certain acts. As the upper echelons of society, they are well aware of the benefits of ruling by dividing society into multiple classes, with vested interests always on their side and on the side of possible offensive behaviour by a small group of people, and hostile hostility between classes to ensure that their position is not threatened.

Durin lit a cigarette and asked, "How much do you want?"

The guy who looked more like a homeless man hesitated for a moment, then quoted a very excessive number, "Ten thousand, sir." ”

Durin shook his head and said, "You're not worth that much, but I can give you ten dollars." ”

There was an inscrutable smile on the homeless man's face, he lowered his head slightly to avoid Durin's gaze, and lowered his voice, "Sir, I have seen your portrait on the wall of the police station, I think it is worth ten thousand, what do you say?"

Du Lin frowned, took two puffs of his cigarette, and nodded noncommittally, "You need to go and talk to the doctor about your eye problems, come with me!"

The three of them entered the hotel, and Durin asked Savi to give 10,000 yuan to the homeless man, and then inquired in detail. The homeless man said that when he was caught stealing bread the day before, he had seen his portrait on a drawing board at the police station, which was used to show the wanted criminal, and Durin was being wanted.

At this time, Durin's face changed slightly, and he suddenly realized why the guy who gave twenty dollars looked at him carefully, sent the homeless man, and was just about to leave when there was a knock on the door of the room.

"Room Service ......"

The people in the room who were packing up stopped their movements, and Durin took a pistol from Savi, "I don't need room service." ”

"Sorry to disturb you!", there was the sound of footsteps fading away from the door, but in the next second, the closed door was suddenly broken, and several policemen wearing body armor rushed in.
