Du Lin has always asked the townspeople to expand the "surface" and not increase the "thickness".

What is a "surface", to put it simply, is how many points there are, the points are connected into a line, and the lines are connected into a surface. One hundred and one cities in the empire have their own agents, and soon there will be associations in these cities that do not have a townspeople but do have a representative. The coverage rate is the surface, and it is necessary to expand this area as much as possible, so that more cities have hometown associations, and through this medium, more people can learn about Durin, understand what Dulin does, and let them feel the changes that Dulin's existence has on their lives.

So what is "thickness"?

The thickness is actually the number of people, and the number of people in each township association branch is basically maintained at the scale of several hundred, and the maximum number will not exceed 1,000. Not only so many people are willing to participate in the association, but there are many more people outside who hope to become a member of the association. This is not to say that the benefits provided by Doolin and the Association can only be enjoyed by becoming a member of the Association, but that non-members of the Association can actually enjoy the benefits and treatment provided to them by the Association.

Many people asked Doolin why he didn't let more Gualt brothers and sisters join the association, but Doolin didn't give an accurate explanation, but he told everyone that this was a threshold, and the current situation must be maintained, and there must be no possibility of getting out of control. This opening cannot be opened, at least not in the next ten years, and once it is opened, everything that Doolin is doing today will be in vain.

The empire constantly propagated the concept of blurring racial distinctions, constantly claiming that the provincial people, the Gualts, and the northern barbarians were all part of the empire, advocating the slogan that each other is one family. In this way, the upper echelons of the empire hope that the few non-mainstream races can honestly accept their current lives, and give them a nominal hope to stabilize these races. They say these high-sounding words but don't put them into practice, and in every city all the best trades, the highest earners, are still Ogding, and those who live in the slums are always the provincial Ya and Guarte.

It seems that it is easy to unite these people, it is just easy for them to join. But the question is, how would the upper echelons of the empire react if these minorities, who were treated as second-class citizens by those in power, joined a cohesive group?

Fear?

Maybe there is, but it's more of a troublesome feeling, because they have to get rid of these "disobedient" minorities. Could an organization capable of gathering millions or tens of millions of people be an ordinary organization? Impossible, this is a very obvious truth, and the leader of this group of people is still a careerist like Doolin, and perhaps soon the cabinet will launch a large-scale purge to squeeze the puss before the crisis erupts.

On the other hand, if so many people were really included in the association, would it be good for Doolin?

No, in fact, there are no benefits at all, and there are very bad effects. Because human beings are social creatures, human beings prefer spiritual social living to biological social beings. When the number of members in the association is too large to a certain extent, they will feel a very safe feeling, and when the sense of security continues to spread and swell uncontrollably, there will be a terrible germ of thought.

Now that we're so powerful, why don't we do something to change the world?

Sometimes you don't want to do it, but the people who support you want you to do it, and they think they have great power, you will be controlled by the group consciousness, not above it.

Dühring has said that nothing will be done by force, that war is not the best way to change the status quo, and that war is unlikely to bring any substantial benefits to both sides except to add more irresolvable hatred to each other. It will only make people hate each other more and more, and then continue to reincarnate until one of them is completely destroyed, both physically and mentally.

The current situation is very good, the total number of people in all the branches is only thirty or fifty thousand, and even the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau only thinks that this is the largest "criminal organization" in the empire, and it is just an organization.

This is very good, it shows that the Ogding people have not yet developed a determination against their fellow villagers to eliminate the Gualts even in the face of social unrest or even retreat, and they now only regard these things as Durin's "tricks".

Now that a solid foundation has been laid for the future, what needs to be done now is to transform little by little, and quietly complete the transformation of butterflies.

Durin became more and more calm in the face of many burning eyes, he took a few steps back and forth, and he pointed out of the room, "Outside, there are people from the Organized Crime Investigation Bureau who are openly watching us, there are people from the District Security Investigation Bureau investigating us, and even the military is starting to join in the plan against us. They want to get hold of us, they want to find our evidence, to destroy all the pride we have again, to beat us back to where we were. ”

"This is a special time, the darkest period before the dawn, we have passed through the curtain of darkness that cannot release any light, we must persevere to the end, hold on to hope, and wait for the dawn to come. And this is what I want to tell you next, everything you need to understand seriously, the association, including the agents, must complete a huge transformation, so that we can be more integrated into this society!"

"If you want to break up the enemy, first merge yourself with the enemy. ”

"The first step is to rein in criminal behavior. Now that we are doing very well, I have learned from all sides that the fighting has calmed down and that others have begun to accept us as inevitable and important members of society. This is the best award for our sacrifices, battles, and struggles in the past few years! But fear cannot make us fully integrated into it, we must conform to the three views of this society and the pulse of the times, so that we can become them!"

"Next, I hope that all localities will restrain any form of behavior that is called 'crime' by those people outside, and if we encounter problems, we must actively solve them through legal means, and when we encounter disputes, we must be calm and reasonable. We can't continue to hold guns and swords to make others bow their heads out of fear, we need to convince them and let them bow their heads voluntarily. ”

"I know that some of you may want to ask me what to do if someone really can't resolve the dispute through normal means, it's very simple, let him disappear!"

"Kill him in a reasonable way, and ask our lawyer before we kill him, how can we kill a person reasonably and still have the sympathy of the judge, as long as they are not sentenced to death, even an indefinite prison sentence is acceptable, because we have a way to get people out. Don't do nothing, arrange for the gunman to disappear without preparing anything, this is the stupidest way, and from today onwards, I need each and every one of you to remember one thing, try not to hurt others, and if you have to hurt others, find a legal way. ”

"Don't give them more opportunities to gather our evidence, I'm sure you should know more than I do, if there's something I can't handle, I'll give you a number later, and there will be a special person to tell you how to solve all the troubles, money, or bullets!"

"The second thing, starting from June, is that our agents will not only sell our own products, but also the products of other businesses. In other words, all our trade channels will no longer only serve ourselves, but will also serve more social groups. This is a very good opportunity for us to get from the smugglers...... Although I don't admit it, we're going to move from smugglers to channel merchants, and we're going to sell more and make more money through our robust channels and our control of market share. ”

"In the past two years, you should be able to feel, especially the agents, that our own product share in the market has been declining, on the contrary, the product share of those licensees has been increasing. It may seem like we are losing money because we can't sell our own things, and we sell other people's things, but in reality, our profits are not declining, but we are reaching new heights every quarter. ”

"A large number of channel fees have become one of our main sources of income, we do not need to manufacture the cost of a commodity, only need to bear a part of the transportation costs, we can earn the same profits as in the past, so the transformation seems necessary and urgent. Times and society are changing every day, and if we want to grow strongly, we must keep up with the pace of this era. ”

And this is the third step, or the third thing, that I want to say. ”

"I am going to set up a company for the distribution of goods, including ordinary land and sea transportation, which will allow us to reduce our transportation costs by another level. This is also a very important task, and this work will be left to the branch presidents, and I will allocate funds from the hometown association fund to provide you with the necessary infrastructure and material assistance. I need you to do something, no matter which of our co-tenants, the moment their products come off the assembly line, our trucks start loading up the goods, transporting them to any city in the empire within a week and selling them through our channels. ”

"The fourth thing, all the funds that agents need to hand over are suspended today, I need you to establish a comprehensive market in your city, you can tell me if the money is not enough, but it must be built, and it must be built well. Good location, good design, uniform clothing, unified logo, I want to see such a business center in all cities by this time next year!"
