Chapter 368: Business [2]

When this young man said this, all the onlookers around him suddenly had an epic sense of thousands of grass and mud horses running wild in their hearts, their mayor was actually a smuggler, and he was also the largest smuggler on the east coast of the empire?

To be honest, it's really hard to accept, on one side is the mayor, the ruler of a city, the administrator. On one side are the smugglers, the dangerous people who treat breaking the law as a drink. It's hard to blend the two identities together, but their mayor did.

At this time, it dawned on someone that it was no wonder that Mayor Dohrin would issue tax payment certificates to those smugglers, and it turned out that he was one of them. Some people even think about how the mayor of Dohrin came to be, maybe it was these smugglers who pooled money to open up the joints for him, so that he could jump from a smuggler to a mayor.

In this city where law and order can be maintained without a police station, the view of right and wrong is still very clear. When the young people identified Doolin as well, they developed a subtle emotion towards Doolin.

This guy has indeed brought change to the city, but his identity makes everyone feel a little unacceptable, which is a very contradictory psychology.

On the other hand, Durin, instead of being annoyed and angry because his identity was made public, a smile appeared on his face, and he observed the young man, and the young man also generously let him observe. He asked, "I don't know your name yet?"

"Want to investigate me?", the young man laughed, "My name is Martin, and you are welcome to investigate everything about me, and maybe find something that I may have forgotten or not known." ”

"Martin!", Durin nodded, "I remember the name!"

"I am honored, sir. ”

Durin took a few steps ahead of Martin, he now clearly felt that someone was targeting him, exposing his details was only their first step, and their real purpose should be the midterm elections.

The term of office of the Prime Minister of the Reich is four years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms, so people always regard the point between the first four years and the second four years as half of the term, which is what people call the midterm elections. But strictly speaking, the term is only four years, and in the first four years there will always be some people who will benefit from the policies and regulations promulgated by the prime minister, and the beneficiaries will often benefit more than they will damage, so vested interests will firmly vote for the person who is currently in power.

But for those below, there is no such thing as a "midterm election" because their term of office is unrestricted and unregulated. Every four years is a general election for them, a tough exam. If you pass the exam, then everything is no different than before. But if you can't pass the test, you may have to face defeat and lose the power in your hands.

If you come to this point, it is not a dead end, and you can transfer to a place where other parties are strong, or take up a position in the party and wait for the next opportunity.

As the development of Otis City has changed drastically by leaps and bounds over the course of a month, it is not uncommon for Durin to have someone who wants to pick peaches and take the fruits of his victory.

It is not a good idea to make a prosperous city more prosperous, but if you develop a poor place in Houluo into a prosperous city, it means political and word-of-mouth success, and it means that you can get more opportunities.

In addition, the nature of the rules that Doolin made for the city was enough that any one person would not affect the sustainable development of the city after taking the position of mayor, so some people were tempted. They just need to get Doolin's location and continue to develop it in Doolin's way, and it is not difficult to create a thriving city.

But why, do you want to take my city away?

A chill ran through Durin's heart, and he looked at the onlookers, observing the changes in their faces. After a few moments, he nodded, "I'm here, in front of everyone, to refute Mr. Martin's erroneous point of view, he said I'm a smuggler, I don't admit it. When Martin was about to say something, he glanced back at Martin, and his indifferent eyes made Martin's heart burst out, and he did not interrupt Durin's words.

"I'd rather have people call me a businessman than the not-so-nice name of a smuggler, and I must explain that my business is legal in Illian. My business is big, how big is it?", he stretched out his arms to his side, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world, "It's so big!", the sudden little humor effect was very good, making many people laugh out loud, and some people even expressed their opinions directly to the people around them, they thought that Durin was a good person, at least he could make everyone happy.

Du Lin was also very satisfied with his rescue behavior, he smiled, and continued: "I provide 600,000 bottles of wine to be sent to the fifty-seven cities of the empire every month, and after each bottle of wine is removed from various expenses, including taxes, I will earn three yuan, which is 1.8 million yuan a month, and more than 20 million yuan a year. My monthly income alone may be higher than the tax paid in an entire year in Otis, so why should I come here?"

"When Mr. Martin identified me, I was sure that a lot of people would think that I was here to make more money, but that's not what I'm here for. ”

"When the mayor of Illion nominated me to be mayor here, I said no, because I didn't know about the place until then, and I went to look at the map. I found this place on the map, and my assistant told me that it was a poor place, so poor that I had to pay taxes for a year or more on my monthly income. ”

"I was very opposed at the time, why didn't I continue my business than to be the mayor of a backward city with only a few old cars and people still riding horses? Every day I can take girls you can't imagine to go to sea and find joy on the sea that you can't imagine. I can spend a lot of money on anything I want, I can enjoy the same treatment as His Majesty the Emperor, why should I come here?"

Durin looked at the citizens around him, and those citizens were gradually attracted by his impromptu speech, because the things he said were true, they were all realistic, not the things that the politicians said that people could not understand. At the same time, people are also thinking, why would such a rich man with such a happy person who has unimaginable happiness come here?

He snapped his fingers and pointed to the sky, which pulled some people's thoughts back and turned their attention back to Doolin, "because I found another kind of pleasure, a kind of challenge." There is only one person I respect the most, and that is the leader of our new party, our leader, Mr. Maggs, who saved this empire and saved us all. He can save me, so why can't I get rich with you?"

"To be honest, the guy who nominated me here didn't mean anything, he just wanted to send me away, and he was afraid that I would run for office and drag him out of the mayor's position. So he sent me here, which they called a garbage heap, where all worthless people lived, dead and without any future. Because they had such a special opinion of this place, it suddenly occurred to me that it might make sense. ”

"I came here and led everybody to get rich, and even when I first came here, I wanted to lead everybody to do business with me?", he pointed to Martin, "what he calls a smuggler...... and then to himself, "a smuggler like me who makes millions a month." ”

After the astonishment, there was a fanatical look in the eyes of those citizens, they did not ask for more than a million a month, as long as there were more than a hundred, they were enough to be satisfied.

Looking at these scorching sun-like eyes, Durin laughed, laughing, nothing can make people shake their will more than interests. They want to kick themselves out unless they can do what he promised.

"But I soon discovered that there is an easier and more profitable way to do it here than smuggling, so why give up the profits that are in front of me and go further away to find an uncertain future?" said Doolin after taking two steps, pointing to the ground, "In the eyes of others, this is a garbage heap, but in my eyes, this is a gold mine." What embarrasses Otis is not anyone, but ideas, and the desire for change. ”

"I will make this place every inch of land, I will make this the pearl of the middle of the empire, and even the liveliest and most prosperous city in the entire empire. But until then, you must support each of my policies, and only if we work together can I bring you the change you want. ”

After saying these words, Durin looked at those who were unwilling to relocate, and made a decision on the spot, "Don't you want more compensation?

Once Durin made such a decision, he would be able to encourage more people to follow suit, so that the city's finances, which had just been on the right track and in a virtuous circle, would be crushed by him. At that time, Duhrin will definitely be responsible, if someone in the party stands up and accuses him.

But the moment Durin said the next sentence, everyone's faces changed color in an instant.
