At about nine o'clock in the evening, Durin met Sandra who had to be interviewed, and the two opened a business suite at the Holiday Inn Van Lier, and asked the hotel waiter to bring some food and drink, Durin was a little hungry. Durin had planned to rest early in the evening, so he didn't eat much, and he heard Angela say that eating too much for dinner would affect the night's sleep, so Durin usually only ate six minutes full on nights when there was no socializing. There's still something going on for the night, and it looks like I might not be able to sleep before ten o'clock, so I might as well eat something more.

"Sorry for the delay. At nine twenty-odd, Durin picked up a napkin and wiped the grease on his lips, threw the napkin on the dining car, walked out of the dining room, and sat on the sofa in the living room.

Because of its proximity to the middle of the empire and the border to the south, Van Lier is also a city with a large number of tourists, and the status of tourists received by ordinary people is high and low, and the types of guest rooms are relatively complete. From the Royal Suites on the top floor, to the standard rooms, you can find them anywhere else. In order to better talk about things, Dührin asked for a business suite, which has a total of three bedrooms, a dining room, and two living rooms similar to a study and living room, mainly for those who are in business.

If you want a more general standard room...... Sitting in the bedroom talking about things, there's always something not quite right.

Sandra smiled indifferently, she didn't have anything to do at night anyway, the night in the west was actually boring, there was only about a fifth of the red wine in the red wine glass on the coffee table, and her face was getting more and more ruddy. Her fingers ran between her hair and her neck, and she leaned back, her legs crossed and pressed against the couch, "It's nothing, I just need to think about other things too." ”

"It's not a gentleman's job to keep a lady waiting, but a gentleman can be hungry sometimes. Durin replied with a smile, and then moved on to the next topic, "Lady Sandra, I don't know if there's anything you have to say tonight?, to be honest, I've just returned from the Imperial Capital on a steam locomotive, so if we can, let's make it simpler." ”

Sandra tilted her head slightly, making a motion that did not match her age, and she actually stuck out her tongue, although only a little of the tip of her tongue was exposed, but Durin thought she had drunk too much.

"Well, it's not a big deal, Memnon invited Carlos, Clelanfe and me to the venue of the Western Mining Association in the afternoon, and he plans to manage the remaining things of the Western Mining Association himself, and at the same time develop the surrounding land, intending to build a high-end commercial center centered on that land. Sandra listened to this, she had been observing Doolin's expression, but unfortunately, there had been no change in Dorin's face since she sat down.

"He wanted us to invest and offered each of us a low-interest loan of $1.5 million, but I refused. ”

But Carlos and Klelanfe agreed, and they were willing to continue working with Memnon to develop the project. ”

Durin had always had a very serious expression on his face, and he nodded, "Memnon's idea is very good, I have been to that place, the location is very good, and the whole land is also very large. Before the construction of Van Lier, it was actually a rural area, and the people of the Western Mining Association took advantage of a lot, and now all of them are cheaper than Mennon. It's a good investment, Ms. Sandra, why would you say no?"

"This is a great opportunity!"

For Carlos and Klelanfe's choice, Durin did not take it to heart, the capitalists always run after profit, and from the day Memnon was "pardoned" he knew that something would definitely go wrong with the small collective of the country club. To put it simply, these people have spent a lot of money and used a lot of connections and favors on Memnon, and of course they are not Memnon supporters, they are using this way in exchange for Memnon's support for their business.

Look, almost all of Bondika's chemical plants have been moved west, why? because they are not allowed to build chemical plants elsewhere, or they are required to build more complex and expensive waste treatment plants. It seems that three or four years ago, a chemical plant caused a large-scale protest and controversy over the poisoning of many people in a nearby town by discharging industrial sewage directly into the groundwater system, and the Imperial Environment Agency began to legislate ecological standards.

But in the west, none of this was a problem, and Memnon solved all their worries by saying that they had developed a "dry throw" method of disposing of chemical fertilizers and sewage in a pool of water to evaporate at high temperatures, leaving behind solid powder particles, which were then packed and buried in the western wilderness. If it weren't specifically looking for trouble, it might be decades or even hundreds of years before these things were exposed when the western region also ushered in comprehensive development. As for those gases that may be poisonous, they are dispersed by the winds of the west coast, as long as there are no dead people...... Even if someone died, Memnon could hold it down.

They have invested a lot of resources in Memnon, and now that Memnon has been lifted, they will naturally not "rebuild" and reinvest in Doorin or the next successor. Their own pursuit of interests is not allowed, and neither are the boards of directors and the chairman's meeting above them. Besides, Memnon is very stable, and even Powell personally called him, so what's not to worry about?

The only thing that made Durin find it strange was that Sandra didn't continue to work with Memnon, which was a strange thing.

Sandra smiled and shook her head, she didn't answer Doolin's question, but talked about things that had nothing to do with it, "I have a lot of brothers and sisters!", Sandra picked up the wine glass and shook it, the red liquid kept shaking in the wine glass, round and round, along the wall of the glass The liquid that had just fallen had not fallen to the bottom, and was overwhelmed by the new wave, she took a sip, looked at Doolin and said with a smile, "I'm not exaggerating the concept of 'more', it's really a lot." ”

"As far as I know, there are probably more than fifty brothers and sisters who are eligible to sit down in the manor restaurant on New Year's night. There are still many people who are not qualified to sit at the table, or are not even qualified to go back to the manor for the New Year. ”

"As a child, I never understood why, why I had so many brothers and sisters, why there were so many brothers and sisters standing on the edge of the restaurant wall, looking at us who were sitting with envy, jealousy, hatred, ridicule, ridicule, and even viciousness. I think they're pathetic, but I don't know how to change that. ”

"One year, I was about nine years old?", Sandra put the glass back on the coffee table, picked up the bottle and poured some more, she squeezed her eyes and recalled for a moment, "about nineteen to ten years old, three days before the Chinese New Year, my grandfather, and the grandfather of most of the children, asked us to gather, about a hundred children, and he gave us a question. ”

"The question is simple, what would you do if you had ten dollars on the ground?"

"Since that night, many of the siblings have not been seen again, and they have returned to their families and become ordinary people, like most ordinary people in this society, who need to work hard for promotions and raises, who need to worry about some small amounts of money, and who need to ask for help for small things. They are deprived of the right to use their family name, are not allowed to tell anyone about their origins, and are not even allowed to appear in front of family members. ”

"How did I answer ...... then," Sandra's mouth curled slightly, "I won't tell you." ”

"But every year since, I've sat in that cold room and enjoyed a dinner that wasn't at all satisfying with a bunch of indifferent brothers and sisters. ”

"At that time, my grandfather told me that to be a good family member, you must not only be able to see farther away, but also be able to see through all illusions, see through ruthless practices, and find the right direction for yourself. ”

"Only those who have this rigorous foundation can be ...... family members. ”

"I've seen your ...... in the past", Sandra didn't hide anything about this very rude and offensive behavior, "I was surprised, and it was only then that I realized that maybe you are the kind of person my grandfather said, someone who can really stand at the beginning and see the end." Starting with Turnier, every bet you place is in the right place, and for a few years, you barely missed it. ”

At this point, Sandra suddenly shut up, and she paused for a moment before adding, "You may have missed it, but you made up for it and hid it so that you could see every step you were completely right." ”

"Fortune can be accumulated, and I am convinced of that, and you ask me why I don't choose to continue working with Memnon?", Sandra laughed, and her voice was good, "because if someone like you who has never been good doesn't choose, to choose Memnon who has failed so many times, it will make it impossible for me to go back to the manor and eat that nasty dinner during the Chinese New Year this year!"

After listening to this, Durin was silent for a moment, "Thank you very much for your favor to me, it makes me very afraid, what if I will be wrong, or even the next step will be wrong?"

"You can't be wrong, it's a woman's instinct!", Sandra laughed happily, the kind of flower branches, she laughed for a moment before putting away her laughter and asked Durin a question, "What would you do if you saw ten dollars on the ground?"
