"Mr. Donald has called you several times and hopes to call him back when you return. As soon as Durin arrived at the villa, Dove took off his coat for him and told him what had happened since he left. I don't know if it's because Dove has gained personal experience from serving as the mayor's secretary general for a period of time, or if she has already smelled something special, this time Durin chose to come to the west, and she came directly.

Durin nodded, said hello to everyone, and went into the study. Now he has an unrivalled amount of liquid money in his hands, and he can form a medium-sized consortium whenever and wherever he wants. But his future is not in business, so the money will not be used elsewhere for the time being. Once in the west, he had larger villas bought in the major cities to house the men who had come with him.

He entered the study and picked up a handkerchief to wipe the invisible dust on his hands, and brought himself a glass of wine before sitting on a chair and calling Donald.

"I heard you have something you want to say to me?", as soon as the phone was connected, Durin made it clear.

Donald on the other end of the line squeaked, "yes, I think we should talk a little bit about Otis before things change completely." ”

"You can say it, I'm listening!", Durin took a sip of wine, this is not a product produced by Illian, it is a wine taken by a local agent from the authorized party, but this kind of wine is not much in circulation, there is not much artificial water added in it, it is the second puree, and some spices are added to keep the wine light aroma, and it is not so monotonous to drink.

Donald organized the language, and it took great courage for him to call Durin in the hope of talking to him. After all, Durin has tossed him enough during this time, he is the real victim, but he has to stand on a position of doing something wrong to communicate with Durin, which makes him very uncomfortable and indignant.

After about a few seconds, he said, "Durin, we've been working together for a while, and we should know each other very well, you know who I am, and I know who you are. Let this farce end here! It won't do you any good, it won't do me any more, it's something that shouldn't have happened. No matter what kind of problems arise, what we should do is first and foremost to communicate, not fight. ”

"The city of Otis is facing a huge problem right now, and if we can't address the lasting effects after the start of spring, I believe this is something we don't want to see. It's too late to stop, and we can negotiate a solution to our differences, what do you think?"

Donald felt that his words were very sincere, his tone was already begging, and it could even be said that he was begging Durin to put an end to everything that had happened before, and he would treat it as if nothing had happened, and he was willing to make a certain degree of compromise for this.

The solution that his father told him was that he thought about it more deeply, but in fact, it could not perfectly solve his current situation, he himself was from an aristocratic background, and he knew better how demanding these aristocratic capitalists were for power and interests. Once he defects to the Capet family, then his power will also be reduced to a level where he can only "maintain" his status as mayor, and everything that exceeds his authority in the future must be discussed with the Capet family, and he will become a puppet.

If this line of thinking continues, then it is clear that reaching a compromise with Doryn is more appropriate than relying on the Capetian family to maintain his status. He knew what kind of person Durin was, and as long as he didn't break the rules he had made, he wouldn't have anything to say even if he flew into the sky, and he had more freedom than going to the Capetian family and the Hymn Consortium.

So with one last hope, he came to beg Durin for his forgiveness, and then sat down to settle the matter.

Durin played with the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

This sentence obviously directly erased Donald's efforts to say what he said just now, which made Donald's anger a little uncontrollable, "Durin, I know you are very powerful, but you also have to understand. You are not the only one in this empire, there are many others who can do nothing. I'm just doing my last bit to hope that this matter can be resolved peacefully, if we can't reach an agreement......", the voice in the earpiece suddenly cut off for a moment, "Then let's go to war head-on, I won't necessarily lose, and you won't necessarily win!"

Durin put the cup in his hand on the table and sat up slightly straighter, "If that's all you want to say to me, I can only tell you explicitly, then let's go to war!"

"Mayor Donald, you only have two ways to go, apologize, and get out of my city. ”

"Or let me crush all your persistence and pride, and drive you out of my city. ”

"You don't have any other options, and remember that no one can force me to do something I don't want to do, no one!"

The phone hung up with a snap made Donald on the other end of the phone feel a sharp stomach ache when he was angry, he was not lightly angered by Durin, he had compromised, but Dulin was still aggressive! As long as he took the initiative to resign, he would not have any room for further progress in the political arena in the future. Politics is a very cruel circle, this is not the film and television industry, a movie can be repeated if it fails, let alone the sports circle, the alternation of defeat and victory is a common thing.

Here, if you fail once, those around you who are in the same position and keep climbing up will use you as a stepping stone, and they will keep stepping on you to climb higher places, and there will be no room for resistance.

For the sake of his own future, in order to be able to revive the glory of the family, Donald can only choose to join the Capet family after Durin refuses to compromise. He's going to have to struggle, even if he loses in the end, at least he's tried.

He asked his secretary to get him some wine, and after taking some painkillers, he took a deep breath and felt better, before he picked up the phone and dialed the head of the Capet family, he had to talk to the old man.

In fact, since Solo's unsuccessful return, the Capet family has almost extinguished the idea of continuing to fight for interests in Otis City, and Doolin's cross-shareholding scheme is by far the most complex and involved shareholding. If you want to win a casino, you have to convince at least a few dozen shareholders to have a majority stake in the casino, and if you want to completely own a casino, you have to convince 140 shareholders.

No one is a fool, and only the mentally handicapped will be willing to use a few years of profits to buy an equity that will generate a steady stream of profits and can even be used as an "heirloom".

However, a huge conflict broke out between Donald, the new mayor of Otis City, and Doolin, which made some of the elders of the Capet family think that this could be an opportunity to regain control of the casino in the first place. With Donald's cooperation, as well as the coercion of their Capet family and the Song Consortium, there will be people who are afraid of death to hand over their shares.

It was at this time that Donald's phone call drew his attention to the opening of the net export zone with the Fatimid family, and he returned to the hinterland of the empire.

At the same time, the great Prime Minister of the Empire, Maggs, is also paying attention to this matter.

He was hosting his good friend Barr in his study, and the two had known each other for decades, and the relationship was so good that they almost talked about it. Of course, being able to talk to a big man like Maggs has nothing to say, and Barr also has a certain status. After talking about a few other things, the two quickly turned the conversation to the recent events in Otis City.

The New Party's internal internal affairs investigation team has not yet launched an investigation process against Donald, but Maggs raised his hand to stop it, and now is not suitable for using the knife, and the best time to use the knife is when the main dish is served.

"I didn't expect that young man Durin to have such terrible mobility, his wisdom and his abilities should not be found in a farmer's son, such a good young man might be able to recruit into our men, I heard you have a granddaughter?", Barr chewed on beef jerky as he shook his upturned legs. If there were other nobles in the room, they would definitely be shocked, the two former bigwigs of the empire did not look like nobles at all, they looked like those commoners.

Maggs rolled his eyes, "My granddaughter is only nine years old, and I'm not going to make up for Durin's last shortcomings. You also admit that he is terrible, if you give him a bigger stage, no one knows what shocking things he will do!"

Barr stroked his sideburns and brushed them back with his fingertips, "I admire him very much, you can ask if he would like to come over, my granddaughter is just the right age, she is sixteen years old." ”

"You're playing with fire, you know?", Maggs picked up a slice of dried beef jerky and chewed it in his mouth, "He's not going to be able to get Donald and Capet Sr. around with nothing, and if you give him more, it's probably you." ”

"His ambitions are too great, what the empire needs now is not careerists, what is needed is to restore the strength of the empire as soon as possible. It seems unlikely that there will be wars in the future, but have you noticed that wars are frequently breaking out in other places except us, and the world is not safe after all. ”

"We are facing a world of constant change, full of change and storms, and if we don't survive this period, we will be destroyed!"

"Ultra-Zionists, federalists, aristocrats, corporations, restless commoners, ambitious politicians...... There are so many things that are dangerous to our cause, and the only thing we should do is to purify the classes within the empire while protecting ourselves!"
