Chapter 405: How to Play [2]
When Durin was in his dream, he had not seen the big guy touch the railway, so he was very unfamiliar with this aspect, and when Colills made this suggestion, Durin was still very humble in his heart.
"How to cooperate?", Durin crossed his legs, looking very interested, "I don't know much about this kind of thing, you should know that I haven't been in contact with it, say something that interests us all." ”
Colills glanced at Harry, who smiled and nodded, then got up and closed the office door and locked it.
The next topic is not too convenient for others to know, and the fact that Colyls is here and can say it has something to do with Harry's strong recommendation.
Dühring's good performance at the hearing saved him some things, and the admiration for Dühring that Maggs said made Harry quickly judge that there seemed to be a deal between Marx and Dühring that he did not know about.
Because he is too young, the empire will not allow a prime minister in his twenties, and the new party will not allow an important party figure in his twenties, so Durin is unlikely to become Harry's rival in the next two decades. On the contrary, if Durin is encircled well, his resources, financial resources, and power can become Harry's help, paving the way for him for at least the next twelve years.
It's a win-win, and twelve years later Harry has a lot of power and influence within the new party, and when the time comes, whether it's a return on investment or an ongoing win-win, he can do his best to put Doolin in his place, just as Maggs nominated him.
This behavior is called factional continuation, and although Durin is not of aristocratic origin, and although he may have a lot of minor problems, in the political realm, these are not problems.
That's why today's interview is the surprise of Colills' personal visit.
"Mr. Harry has always told me that you are a trustworthy friend, I love making friends very much, will we become friends?", Coryls did not immediately say his plan, but said something seemingly inconsequential, and he looked at Durin with a smile.
Durin shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands, and asked, "Aren't we friends yet?"
"I like your candor, Mr. Doolin. Colliers licked his lips, he actually meant to seek unity between Doolin and him in politics and interests, he believed that Doolin could hear the meaning behind the words, and Doolin did.
He changed to a more comfortable sitting position at this time, looking not very beautiful and not very polite, "You don't have that much money in your hand, right?", this sentence asked very abruptly, directly said that the other party had no money in his pocket and used "right" to deepen his affirmation, to be honest, it was very rude to say so. But considering that everyone had already unified their interests on the surface, Durin nodded directly without denial.
Colilles smiled slightly, "Don't be embarrassed, I've been building railways for more than 30 years, you just need to say where to go and what problems you will encounter in the middle, I can estimate an approximate cost in a short time." Until now, the error has not exceeded 10 percent at most. After hearing about your idea, I have already estimated that it will take at least two years from the construction to the completion of the two railways, and the cost will be about 12 million, of which the two valleys will cost the most. ”
"You've only been in office for two months in Otis City, and if this is Namilin or Illion City, where you used to be, I'll be sure you can come up with this money without hesitation, but ...... in Otis City," he said with a smile, "There is no money. ”
Durin thoughtfully took out the cigarette case, both of them asked for one, and after the three of them lit the cigarette, Durin asked, "So what do you mean? How do we cooperate?"
"It's easy!", Durin noticed a flash of green in his eyes as Colills uttered the phrase, it was greed, it was cunning, it was the devil!
"I can lend money to the city hall of Otis to build these two railroads, and more than 10 million is not a small amount, but I can still get it. By the way, I would venture to ask, how long are you going to be here?"
Durin looked at Harry, and Harry also happened to look at Durin, and after the two made eye contact, Harry answered this question, "If nothing else, at most two or three years, after the development of Otis City, he has enough political achievements and reputation, and he can be transferred to other places." ”
Harry didn't say it explicitly, but both Colliers and Doolin immediately understood what he meant, Harry planned to start working hard for the next prime minister and party leader, so he would focus more on the struggle inside and outside the party, and at this time he needed someone to manage the affairs of the entire state instead of him. It was clear that he was going to do this, and according to his intentions, Doolin could first serve as an adviser to the governor's office and handle the affairs of the state.
It's a semi-official position, and it's not limited by age, it's just a consultant after all.
After four years, Harry succeeded, then Dohrin would be eligible to become mayor of the capital, and in another eight years, Doolin would be in his thirties, enough to be governor, and then wait from Harry to take over the top of the party, or even run for prime minister.
This is a very ordinary and complete political line, in his forties, it is the time when he is in the prime of life, and it is also the time when the male personality charm explodes, coupled with a beautiful "report card", and the assistance of Maggs and Harry, the possibility of During reaching the top is extremely great. Of course, in return, Durin had to name the next successor, and that choice was chosen by Maggs and Harry.
Of course, it is also possible that in the process they found a more suitable candidate than Durin, then it doesn't matter, high-ranking positions in the party such as Bowers and the like will definitely leave, and his place can be given to Durin.
Why did he choose Doolin, Harry asked Mags, Maggs did not explain what was at stake in too much detail, he only told Harry that Doolin's attitude towards capital was the same as his, and that Doolin was more controllable.
The good thing to control is that Duhrin belongs to the "halfway monk", he does not have a strong network of connections within the New Party, in the Old Party, and in society, unlike them, who are from the top of the New Party, who have more New Party capitalists and politicians and vested interest groups behind them.
What about Doolin?
He had nothing, and if he wanted to sit in that position, he had to listen to them.
Indeed, in addition to Du Lin, there are actually several good seedlings, but these seedlings are not so easy to control, they all come from the cultivation of old nobles or capital forces, and they themselves carry a huge "halo". Once there is a conflict of ideas and opinions between the two sides, Maggs and he Harry will be helpless against them, because the other side does not necessarily have a thinner foundation than them.
Compared with those young political stars who have difficulty controlling their dazzling backgrounds, it is people with no roots like Doolin who are better controlled and in their interests.
That's why Harry began to strongly support Doolin.
They still had at least twenty years to observe the young man, and if the young man met all their requirements, they didn't mind putting him on the highest seat of power. But if they find that Doolin doesn't meet their requirements, or has a more suitable goal, they can kick Doolin away without any consequences.
And in addition to Doolin, Maggs also trained several other young people, in other places.
Colyles didn't know so much about it, he just took a fancy to Harry's attitude towards Durin, he was one of Harry's biggest supporters, and naturally followed the principle of thinking for Harry. He smiled and said, "Since Doolin won't stay here for a long time, let's take a longer term and sign a fifty-year contract with Otis City Hall to repay the loan at the bank's interest." ”
"Until the last money comes into my account, I will have the right to use both railways!"
Durin nodded calmly after listening, but in his heart he was surprised by the lion opening his mouth, this is not as simple as addition and subtraction of millions!
The more than 10 million he mentioned was only a preliminary estimate, and once Durin agreed to the plan, it could cost as much as 20 million. Then 20 million will be loaned according to the interest of the bank for 50 years, and according to the current loan interest rate of 6.98 percent implemented by the Imperial Central Bank, and then the city hall of Otis will face a heavy economic pressure of about 70 million with interest.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the money was not returned to Colyls in a lump sum, but was divided into six hundred months, and was returned to Colyls in an amount of more than a million per month.
And what about Colyls?
Not to mention that he earned 40 million without spending a penny, he was able to get the right to operate these two railways for 50 years, and he actually made a profit of more than 500 million!
And even more!
These veteran capitalists were even more ruthless in plundering profits, and they did not care that Durin was still the mayor of Otis City, so they gave such a shocking plan. But from Durin's own point of view, he didn't think it was a big deal, he left the city after he built it, and whether the town hall could afford it had nothing to do with him.
And he thinks that as long as the successor does not mess around, he can fully afford this fifty-year fee, and there is still a surplus.
As for what to do when you can't afford it?
Bankrupt!
