Chapter 338: Setting Up a Card [2]

"I think we've got to talk!", Alexander glanced at Garfield and offered his opinion, "if you're sure it's a business!"

"Of course!", after Durin asked Dover to close the door, he sat back, Alexander and Garfield sat on either side of him, Durin sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said slowly: "Do you think the west is far away?", Alexander and Garfield nodded in agreement, the west is too remote, not only the climate is not good, but also the Gobi is a lot, and there are a little signs of desertification.

But I have to say that several big cities in the west are still very good, and some people even take the initiative to go to the west, because there are women, casinos, and many high rollers who have fun there.

The reason people are drawn to the past is not because it is already so bustling or because it has fun that cannot be enjoyed anywhere else, but because of the gold mines.

The discovered and undiscovered gold mines are like beacons in the night, and countless rich people and people who want to get rich overnight have gathered to the west, constantly searching the jungle for any possible gold mines, and fighting with nature, animals, and even humans for it. They have money, but they also need to relax, and the most famous gold cave in the empire is not on the east coast, but in the barren mountains and old forests in the western part of the empire!

When Durin paused for about two or three seconds after speaking West, Garfield's eyes suddenly widened, and he lowered his voice, word by word squeezed out of his throat, and it could be seen that he was very excited now, "You mean...... Is there a gold mine here?", he couldn't help but cover his mouth after speaking, any place that has anything to do with gold mines is destined to quickly become a gathering place for the rich.

The miners need to cash in the gold, the miners who swallow the sand or stuff it into the gang door also need to cash in the stolen gold, and the skilled women who receive the stinking miners one by one, the gold sand that is pulled out of their gang door also needs to be cashed. Gold is very valuable, very valuable, but everyone knows that although gold is valuable, it cannot be used as money, and this thing must be exchanged for banknotes before it can be used for consumption.

This provides those money launderers in the underground world with an innate washing machine, which can turn some shady money into gold, and then transfer it to the mines where they can't dig up gold at all, and then ship it out in a bright light. After paying a part of the tax, the imperial tax department will help them launder the gold, which is also the most effective and customary channel for money laundering dealers. Because no one will ever know whether the gold can be dug up in the mines, and naturally there is no way to trace whether the source of the gold is stolen goods or gold ore.

Coupled with the fact that the sands and gold mines traded by these people are still in their freshly mined appearance, it is even more convincing.

The flow of large sums of money must have made this a paradise and a paradise, and Garfield really thought that there was a gold mine here, otherwise how could the piece of land he had taken down, which was less than eight square kilometers, be worth millions of dollars?

Regarding Garfield's speculation, Durin directly shook his head in denial, "There is no gold mine here, but there is something more like a gold mine than a gold mine!"

He gave the two legal businessmen some knowledge about the illegal, such as that this is a good place for smuggling, for example, this is a good place to open a casino, and for example, this is a good place to do anything. And the reason for all this lies with Durin, who is the mayor here, and here he has the final say. He didn't let people close down the casino, and the casino could go on as usual. He didn't let people check the smuggled goods, and the smugglers had to take the initiative to pay the money.

When the smugglers from the north and the south saw it as the junction between the north and the south, it was destined to be very prosperous. As we all know, the most profitable deals are well documented in the laws of the Empire, and what would people do if they suddenly had a place that was not "favored" by the law?

Maybe there will be a new mayor after Durin leaves, but no matter who comes, it is impossible to change the pattern here, unless the new mayor has given up his life value and the pursuit of the future. Without these illegitimate, it would have been depressed and what it is today, and the mayor who would have taken over would have been reprimanded - although Doolin intended to make it a lawless paradise, he still had to pay taxes, and the taxes were a little heavier than anywhere else.

Those smugglers and people who do illegal business will not mind that the taxes here are heavier, after all, they are not illegal if they pay the taxes!

See, this is a circle, as long as you can take the first step, the next thing is definitely a matter of course. At that time, the land in their hands was not something that could be bought for 100,000 yuan, but millions or even more, and it was not just a casual talk.

After listening to Doolin's plans for the development here, both Alexander and Garfield gasped. Their original intention was to help their friends save face, but they didn't expect to pick up a big bargain and be able to directly double their worth, how could this benefit not make them excited?

"When are you going to start this project?", Garfield asked.

Durin smiled and told him that it would start tomorrow!

Early the next morning, Durin paid for some young people who did not want to leave the city, hired them to become police officers, and then stood on the train platform with these new police officers who did not even have many police uniforms.

If you want others to settle down and develop here, you must first let others know that this place is different and impressive, so how do you let others know?

It's very simple, slap him in the face first!

According to the steam locomotive timetable, a steam locomotive stops here for fifteen minutes after five minutes. However, these steam locomotives have long been accustomed to not stopping here, so Doolin Cuisine brought more than twenty people over. While he had the platform slightly repaired, he had a red cloth hung on the stop sign, which meant that the train needed to stop here.

Three minutes later, a steam locomotive appeared in people's sight, and a strong water vapor was constantly sent out from the exhaust hole, and before it could get completely close, the people on the platform felt the vibration from under their feet.

The steam locomotive driver, who had no intention of slowing down, stopped when he saw the red cloth gleaming in the sunlight.

He probably thought someone was going to leave here, but what he didn't expect was that when he stopped completely, a particularly handsome young man in a police uniform suddenly burst into the cab and pointed a pistol at his head, demanding that he get out of the car for inspection.

Temporary checkpoints are not uncommon on the railway, they happen once or twice a month, but never once in the hellish place of Otis.

Durin personally led the people to drive all the passengers in the passenger carriage, emptied the entire three carriages, and then completely opened the doors of the remaining twelve carriages. As a veteran who has participated in and carried out smuggling schemes many times, Doolin is fully aware of the virtues of these smugglers. In order to ensure the safety of these goods, they will definitely have someone to escort the car, but no matter how many people escort the car this time, it is useless

Around them, there was not only a group of policemen with pistols, but also a policeman with a rifle in his hand. If the other party is only a pistol, these escorts still dare to resist, but the rifle should forget it, as long as there is only one of these things, it is enough to form a fire suppression. (To explain, the rifle magazine here is much larger than we know, so let's think it's a burst of super-pound gas.) )

Walking outside the door of the first freight car, Du Lin didn't look at anything inside, and directly raised his hand and nodded, "This car is sealed!", if there is no smell of wine inside, it must be that the porter accidentally broke it, or the road was a little bumpy, in short, this car should be full of wine.

Then he checked all the carriages, and except for the three carriages that did not contain contraband, the other nine carriages contained either illegal materials that were prohibited by imperial law from being bought and sold, or contraband such as alcohol.

A train of fifteen cars suddenly had nine fewer cars, and the train driver had a bit of a headache. He came to Du Fo's side, took out the cigarette in his pocket, and handed it over familiarly, "Mr. Policeman, have one?"

Du Fo glanced at him, put the cigarette to his mouth, and the driver enthusiastically took out a lighter to light Du Fo, and asked with a sneer, "This...... Mr. Policeman, what's going on today? Didn't there be no cards here in the past?"

Dufo took a puff of his cigarette and replied as he breathed it: "From today, the card will be set up, and every train will be checked!"

Dover's words made the driver gasp, and only those who were on the steam locomotive every day knew how much smuggled goods were transported by rail to various parts of the empire every day. From south to north, or from north to south, either through the Otis corridor or a few hundred kilometers more around. Walking long distances is not a problem, the problem is that the farther the distance, the more likely it is to encounter the fact that the local government has no money to set up a card to stop the car.

At the same time, those roads are relatively remote and more dangerous, and if a competitor knows that someone has loaded a car and gone where no one is around, the devil knows what they will do.

Therefore, everyone abides by the same principle, if you can go to a prosperous place, you can go to a prosperous place, and if you can take a few detours, you will take fewer detours. We have walked this road for so many years and have not had any problems, but I didn't expect to encounter it that day, and it seems that I can meet it every time in the future!
