Chapter 450: Tokens [2]
Dühring's purpose in promoting the ID card is to give the inhabitants of Otis a class superiority, and I am the "citizen" of the city, and when all the locals and those who want to settle here begin to taste this sweet taste, they will become vested interests - exploiting outsiders on a city-based basis and then providing them with benefits, only then will they become Doolin's hardest supporters.
At the same time, he will unswervingly maintain the rules of the game set by Durin, and no matter who becomes mayor, he will not change this.
Only in this way can Doolin's interests here be guaranteed.
You must know that he bought more than 60% of the land in the entire urban planning in advance, which is a super investment that will increase in value infinitely!
Durin was busy, and neither was the rest of the people in the town hall.
Hagson watched from the window as Durin left the town hall, then cleaned up the messy papers on the desk, checked his dress, and slowly left his office with his hands in his pockets. If his actions were seen by his elders, he would definitely be reprimanded, and he didn't look like a nobleman at all, but he liked it very much. Instead of leaving the town hall directly, he went to Donald.
Both he and Donald are "transfer students", and they are both outsiders to the city and the city hall building, so there is a natural feeling that "we are all in this together".
When he pushed open the door to Donald's office, Donald was still looking at the pace and philosophy of Doolin after he arrived in Otis. Donald was not an arrogant man, and he knew that he was able to become a city councilor at the age of thirty-three not because of his efforts, but because of the few people behind him. He still has a little trouble, the trouble is that the little people behind him and the little resources of that people have been completely used up the moment he became a councilor.
Some resources are renewable, but political resources are obviously not among them, and there is no one to help him in the next way, only on his own.
He knew very well that this opportunity was rare, so he wanted to learn more, and even though Durin was thirteen years younger than him, he did not despise Durin in the slightest. Compared to Durin, he knew he was still far behind.
The knock on the door of Bangbangbang brought him back to his senses from the bookcase, and he looked up a little blankly at Hagson, who was leaning against the door, and it took a few seconds for his eyes to regain clarity, "Something?"
Hagson walked into Donald's office and sat down, looking at the difference between this office and his own, and said, "After work, man, let's have some drinks in the evening?"
Donald only noticed the passage of time at this time, he raised his wrist to look, patted his forehead, "Time flies too fast......", he sighed, he couldn't understand a lot of things in the copy he read in the afternoon, which made him feel his inadequacy. Rubbing my dry eyes, I am indeed very tired these days, mentally exhausted, maybe it is a good idea to relax.
He immediately agreed to Hagson's invitation, and both he and Hagson were from aristocratic backgrounds. It is precisely because their status and status are much higher than others that they know better than others that the new party and the old party did not have the same atmosphere as a mortal enemy. Some of the family members of the top brass of the old party are still members of the new party, and the brother of Maggs's wife is still a member of the old party.
Donald cleaned up his desk, closed the office door, and the two staggered out of the City Hall building.
"When I come to work every day, I see those huge pillars, and I feel very depressed. Standing outside the city hall, Donald couldn't help but say how he felt in his heart, those pillars that required five or six people to hug each other had a very exaggerated visual impact, standing in the columns, he always felt his insignificance when he crossed through that piece.
"Then you should go to the temple behind Parliament Hill and have a look!", Haggerson did not comment directly on his statement, but made another suggestion, "When you see the temple on Parliament Hill, you think it's just like that." ”
During the papal rule of the world, the Church built a total of twelve temples, all of which were on the top of a majestic mountain, believing that the closer you are to the sky, the closer you are to the gods. Later, for various reasons, the church eventually declined, and some temples were destroyed by angry kingship, but some remained.
One of them is the temple on the top of the hill behind the Parliament Hill, which is 2,133 meters above the ground, a lone peak, and the whole building is as simple as if it were unfinished. There is no colorful stained glass, no wall of various stories carved, not even a single statue of the gods. The entire temple has only one huge dome, which is then supported by twelve massive pillars and has no walls.
In the middle of the temple there is a brazier that is not extinguished all year round - every day a priest climbs up to refuel the brazier.
While chatting, the two found a bar not far away, a newly opened bar. Because this is a special administrative region, and because it has its own laws, there is plenty of room for many things that are illegal in other regions, or between illegal and non-illegal, here. This is the third bar to open this week, and it is very popular, with more than 20 young people queuing at the door.
Haggerson and Donald went straight to the VIP channel, for which they needed to exchange no less than two hundred tokens. Bar tokens seem to have become a fad in Otis City, and are used by all bars that have already opened. The tokens are divided into five grades, one, five, twenty, one hundred, and five hundred, and they look like an enlarged coin, with a pure copper base and a ring of silver inlaid around the edges, and a 500 coin inlaid with gold.
On the obverse of the token is the new town hall of the city of Otis, and on the back is a few lines of numbers and letters engraved in the back, as well as a symbol representing money.
This token can be spent in any bar, but it is not exchanged for cash and does not give change. This made many people feel strange, but considering that this is likely to be the "specialty" of Otis City, everyone gradually accepted it.
All Haggerson asked for was twenty tokens, and he exchanged two hundred, enough for them to spend tonight, and maybe some more. These tokens can be taken away, so he is not worried about wasting them if he can't spend them.
The décor of the bar is edgy, the girls are beautiful, and they all look hot.
"Two glasses of ice and snow. Haggerson, who had already been to the bar once, ordered a concoction that he couldn't drink anywhere else, with several colors and flavours, and he liked it very much. They sat down a little on the side, and after asking for a drink, he asked, "What do you think of this place?" and he added, "I mean the city." ”
Donald thought for a moment, "I don't know how to describe it, it's not much different from other places, but there are a lot of changes in some details." For example......", he looked at the young man drinking at the bar, "where spirits can be sold in the open, and there is no Contraband Bureau." Things that can't be bought anywhere else can be sold here. ”
Haggerson also felt this, and trying to get a little grimace mushroom elsewhere was like being sinned, requiring him to go to the dirty alleys and trade with street thugs who weren't good people at first glance, and to use code words. Occasionally, police patrols pass by, and the guys disappear into the darkness in an instant, making it even harder to get them back.
But here...... , as long as you have money, you can buy everything this empire has!
As she spoke, a girl with a strange open helmet approached, dressed in cool clothes and with two very special concoctions on a tray in her hand. The rim and the first layer are silvery-white, and they hang down the wall of the cup, like an upside-down mountain, and under the first layer are dark blue, then light blue, and finally pink and fiery red.
The girl placed two glasses of wine on the table, and Haggerson casually threw twenty dollars of chips to the girl, and the girl smiled sweetly and said thank you before turning away. Hagson's gaze lingered on the girl for a few moments before he retracted it. He picked up his glass and touched it with Donald and took a sip, "It's like a bloody mouth here, swallowing countless funds into it and never spitting it out!"
After he finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, and there was a slight change in his eyes, the difference in his background meant that he observed the world from different angles and heights, and he immediately realized why this was a special zone, why there was such a thing. His gaze quickly fell on the tumbling token in his hand, and he had a faint thought that he didn't want to admit or continue to think, which made him feel an indescribable feeling.
When he held an ordinary ice cream in his hand and saw someone else holding a basin of ice cream, he had already scolded his mother, but now he saw an iceberg, an iceberg made of ice cream.
Drafted!
Both of them were silent, obviously out for fun, why did they feel like a fool instead?
I'm so tired!
"Forget it, what do you want to do so much, let's have some fun!"
In the middle of the night, two young people stumbled out of the VIP aisle, surrounded by several young girls, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious!
