Chapter 458: Side Drum [2]
Doolin's rules are the rules of the city, and no one will allow or shake the rules here. Whether you're royalty or an ordinary businessman, there's nothing to bargain about when it comes to principles. Even if they use their connections to pressure Durin to bow his head, Durin will not give up his principles.
Ernes was about to say something when Solo raised his hand to stop him.
Solo's face did not show any displeasure, but a smile on his face, as if Durin's refusal just now did not affect his mood in the slightest, "Mr. Durin, I can understand that every official has his own political ambitions and governance philosophy, and I admire all those who have dreams and perseverance. But the society we need to face is not our ideal society, and sometimes we have to do things that we don't want to do against our will. ”
This does not mean that you have turned your back on your insistence, it is just a flexibility, a flexibility that you need in the pursuit of the ultimate ideal. As Ernes said, there is no big consortium coming in in Otis right now, some people are still watching, and there is a need for a guide here. What we can bring to the table is not only a large cash investment, but also a kind of clustering effect. ”
"When so many conglomerates and big capitalists come together, even if you don't have any plans for urban development, we will help you turn the city into a city beyond your imagination. I have the ability and the confidence to just need us to communicate some of the problems that exist between us. ”
"So, Mr. Doolin, can you tell me what is preventing us from agreeing? I think that with the efforts of both of us we may be able to overcome this dilemma. ”
Du Lin pursed his lips and groaned for a moment before raising his head and saying, "Mr. Solo, thank you very much for your understanding, if you don't ask for a casino license with full authority and are willing to cross-hold shares with others, I will definitely raise my hands to welcome the Sacred Song Consortium to settle in." But if you guys want a full license, forgive me for being rude, it's impossible. ”
Solo kept looking at Durin with a smile on his face, and did not interrupt him, nodding his head from time to time to indicate that he had listened. He did give Durin quite a good impression, there was no arrogance as Durin imagined, there was no untouchable look that what they proposed, Durin must be done, so Durin would continue to talk to him.
"When I came here, it was just a deserted city, so I set the current development plan for the city, and these plans mean the formation of rules. If I break my rules with my own hands, it will only cause more and more troublesome problems. Here, in my city, my principle is the rule here, and I'm not going to break it. ”
Solo smiled and nodded: "I can understand your thoughts, so between our differences, is there a way that can be accepted by both of us? For example, we can not have a gambling card with full power, but we have absolute control of more than two casinos, what do you say?"
"This can't be, Mr. Solo, I can't shake my position!", Durin said categorically, which made Solo realize that the task he was fighting for might not be able to be accomplished.
Solo sighed, shook his head and stood up, and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "It's a pity that we couldn't reach an agreement, maybe we have a chance to cooperate in other aspects, what do you say?"
Durin reached out and shook his hand, "I'm sure it's for sure!"
"Then we'll take our leave, and we'll have to leave in the steam locomotive in the evening, and we'll have to find a place to rest and see the city. ”
"I'll send you ......"
After walking out of the town hall, Solo glanced back at the back of Durin who had turned and disappeared, shook his head, he turned to look at Ernes, "I remember you just said that they have chosen a successor?", Ernes nodded yes, this is not a secret within the new party, after Durin leaves, Donald will take over his job and become the mayor of the city.
Traditionally, the importance and peculiarity of the city are not Donald's turn to succeed him, but the little person behind him has almost exhausted that little bit of relationship for this matter, and it can be said that he has exchanged his future "potential" for a chance to gamble. In addition, after Otis City became a special zone, a "wader" was needed to make a trip to this pool, and the water was not deep, so Donald, who was obedient and had no follow-up, became a good candidate.
He managed to take control of the city, and he could send him somewhere else in the general election two years later. If he can't control the city, he can send him somewhere else in two years, and he's a litmus test, and his succession here will only last for two years at most. Whatever the outcome, he is not the one who will finally enjoy the fruits of victory.
Donald actually knows this himself, but he doesn't care, Bo a mayor brings more meaning to the family than anything else, and he is willing to gamble once.
"Okay, donald, let's get in touch with the new mayor of the future. Solo didn't look angry with Dorin, but he was actually very upset. At this time, it has come to the most critical time for the heirs to compete for the right to inherit, and any slight change may make any heir lose all his previous achievements. He failed, but his cousins did, and no matter how difficult it was for them to do, he lost.
Ernes immediately understood what Solo meant, and while he called Donald, he arranged for more people to come over, and they needed to change their approach a little.
Donald was still looking through some of the Otis City papers when the phone on his desk rang and scared him. He rubbed his eyes, lifted the phone and put it to his ear, his expression a little strange. He quickly hung up the phone, briefly cleaned up and left the town hall, and in a restaurant not far away, he met the person who had just called him - Ernes.
"I'm very sorry to ask you to come out during your working hours, and I hope you can understand. Ernes apologized for his actions, then sat him down, and introduced Mr. Solo to him, "This is the leader of the Capettian generation, Mr. Solo. For a guy from a small aristocratic background like Donald, Ernes doesn't need to introduce anything more, just bring up the surname Capet.
Sure enough, Donald, who had already sat down, stood up again and bowed slightly to show respect for the surname.
A big family like the Capet family can make him fall with a crooked mouth, so he doesn't have the capital to stand up in front of Solo at all.
Solo smiled and pressed his hand to sit down, and nodded in acknowledgement.
"Do you know about the imminent establishment of seven casinos in Otis City?", Donald nodded his head as Ones finished speaking, and admitted that he knew about it, all the while thinking about the purpose of their invitation. Olnes continued: "We're going to take one of the cards, and we're going to need your help. ”
"Me?", Donald looked at Ones with some surprise, "I may not be able to help you in this matter, because this matter was handled by Durin himself, and I can't interfere in it." And I've heard that Doolin wasn't going to give anyone a full casino, he divided each casino into twenty parts, and even he himself adhered to it. ”
Olness smiled and explained, "No, I don't mean to ask you to convince Mr. Doolin to agree to our request, but to help us persuade Mr. Doolin when necessary. ”
Just now, Ernes called back to the family and told the head of the family about Dulin's attitude, because they were going to leave here at night, so there was no way to continue the consultation with Durin, so they could only hand it over to other delegations. It seemed to them that it was a good thing, and no one would object to such a good thing - it was a good thing, a license at a premium and a willingness to continue to make a cash investment in the city, which is something that all town halls want.
Many consortia invest in an industry or field in a city, often talking about millions or tens of millions, in fact, this is a "total investment", in reality they will divide this total investment into many periods, each period is only a little money, and it is not necessarily a cash investment. As for whether the expected total investment can be truly invested in the end, that is another matter.
But Durin actually rejected their kindness, and Solo maintained his demeanor and decency on his face, but he was not very happy in his heart. He had already called Harry and would visit Harry himself if necessary.
Harry is also backed by the Northern Consortium, and has a good relationship and connection with the Chant Consortium, if Harry is the pressure, and others are beating side drums around Doolin, when Doolin feels that he may not be able to withstand this pressure, he may compromise.
It's just a country mud dog, and there are many things he can't resist, even if his resume is full of legends, he is still no match for the old nobles. The northern aristocracy has accumulated hundreds of years of heritage, how could they lose to a mud dog?
Donald glanced at Solo, Solo nodded slightly, but without any indication, Ernes continued, "Some changes will happen soon, and we will need your help then, of course, in return, when you need our help, we will also pull you along, this is a promise from the Capet family." ”
Donald thought about it and thought that it was nothing, just to persuade Durin, and not to do anything else to get the friendship of the Capet family, a very good deal, and he immediately agreed.
