Chapter 658: Paying the Money Back
At five o'clock the next morning, Durin woke up with a slight chill, he touched the blanket that had slipped on his lap and sneezed. It was a little cold, he picked up the blanket and draped it over his shoulders and walked to the bathroom, when he felt cold, taking a hot bath was undoubtedly the best way to ward off the cold. Seeing that the bath was already full of hot water, he took off his clothes and lay down, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to think about what was next.
There's a lot more to come, mainly in three areas.
The first is to create a hot spot for public opinion to let people know that there is still a large group of slaves from all over the world in the west, who are enslaved by the mine owners, who are allowed to do the most dangerous work, but who are given the worst treatment, and who are often beaten and killed.
People will always breed something that they don't need after they have a stable life, and this thing is called a sense of morality. A sense of morality is an amazing thing that can make people feel angry or pity for something, even if they have done it before, or have done something like that. They will never feel guilt, regret, or other emotions that they may have done in the past, they will only feel anger and disgust for those who are doing these things.
Underneath the incomparably lofty moral high ground is selfishness, and such people are easy to take advantage of. How bad they were in the past, how good they want to behave now, and of course they are pathetic people.
The second aspect is about the overall strategy of the west, where a lot of farmland has already been cultivated and the first vegetables will be ready for sale in two months at most, but so far Dohrin has not found any dealers willing to pack them to do this.
All interested dealers have the same opinion, he has a problem with pricing. Selling a penny and a pound of vegetables for fifteen pounds is either crazy or has a problem with the brain, and no one will want to spend fifteen cents on something that can be bought for a penny, no matter how good you blow it, it is useless. What people need is life, and those people almost told Durin that he didn't know life at all, that he didn't know what the life of ordinary people was like, and that his bullshit pricing wasn't as good as his alcohol pricing.
Of course, their words and tone were very polite, and in the process of speaking, they were full of praise and amazement for Dühring's pricing strategies and ideas, but Dührin could see it.
He wants to sell high-priced vegetables not to make money, but to carry the consumption of his western strategy, so there must be something that can be self-sufficient to free him from the heavy burden, so far farmland is only what he can think of, and it is also the most likely to achieve. In fact, he also considered tobacco at first, and he had seen the windfall of tobacco in his dream world more than once. However, tobacco is not suitable for this time period and requires a lot of investment.
The tobacco merchants who survived the Federated traders' dumping tactics had their own loyal customers, and now that the economic situation was improving and they were starting to reap the dividends, Doolin first needed to invest a lot of money in the formation of tobacco companies and factories, buy large tracts of land suitable for tobacco cultivation, and grow large quantities of tobacco. Then he needs to advertise, open up new sales channels, and compete with these already large-scale tobacco merchants, all of which will take one to two years to complete, and the investment will be in the tens of millions.
He doesn't have the time, the energy and the money for the time being, what he needs is something that has a small investment and quick results.
It's time to start the "Exquisite Lifestyle" program.
The third aspect is to grasp a certain military base, because after three years, there will be a general election, to be precise, three years and five months later, if his plan succeeds, then there is no doubt that he will take the entire west and become the first Guertan governor in the west, and will also be the first non-Ogding governor in the history of the empire. Once Mags wants to turn against him, find a reason to get him down and put it into action, the force in his hands can become a necessary condition for his protection.
It is clear to Dühring that Mags is a very big picture of the situation, or that he has always seen things from a very high perspective. He doesn't think about how what he does will change a family or a city, he thinks about how his policies, ideas, and ideas will change the empire and even the world.
He will have two choices, the first is to strip Dühring of the governorship who won the election through a civil liberty vote, remove all the government officials of his department, blatantly violate the laws he has made, destroy the so-called freedom and justice, and let the empire slide into an unknown abyss, and possibly to heaven. Moreover, the force at Durin's disposal is very likely to turn such a political scandal into a confrontation with force, and finally let Durin occupy the west by means of armed secession.
He also had another choice, for the sake of the unity and integrity of the empire's territory, in order to avoid possible armed confrontation and civil war, and in order to prevent the empire from being harmed in any way, he would largely compromise. He will admit that Durin's position is legitimate, recognize the legitimacy of Durin's officials, accept Dulin to officially join the game of a few, and then eliminate Dulin in the rules in a game way. Only in this way will there be no destructive consequences, and only in this way will he maintain the current situation of the empire that is getting better and better.
At that time, Du Lin really had power, not given to him by others, but by himself through his own efforts and hard work, a power that really belonged to him!
Before I knew it, it was dawn, and after eating breakfast, I read the newspaper for a while, and it was only a little after eight o'clock, and the four mine owners who had "defrauded" Dulin appeared outside Dulin's villa.
At this time, their attitude has changed dramatically from the last time, and the last time they met, they still looked like "I really don't want to sell to a foreigner like you, if it weren't for your sincerity, there would be no such a deal", there was a trace of inexplicable arrogance in their tone and expression, and they were still liars who stepped on horses.
But now, all four of them stood obediently in the living room with their heads bowed and cautious looks.
Durin leaned cross-legged on the couch and read the newspaper, the daily Otis daily newspaper. After eight months of work, the mountain range to the east of Otis City has been completed, and the joint construction project has begun to attack the mountain range to the west, and it is expected that the east-west direction will be fully connected to traffic in another half year. This good news makes all walks of life in Otis City are optimistic, and several major analysts on Sheris Street also predict that Otis City will have an annual revenue of no less than 200 million yuan from next year, which is definitely a miracle!
Of course, the newspaper also mentioned in passing the mayor of Otis and the Capet family, who are still mired in lawsuits, and the plan to go public in Otis City, which has not been completed until today.
The Capet family had discovered Dorin's plot, and Doolin had already been absent from two court hearings, and the Supreme Court had sent him several summonses and told him that if he missed the third trial, they would drop the case. Because Dührin was both a victim and the first witness, his absence prevented much of the trial from proceeding. The Capetian family has protested, arguing that Durin is deliberately delaying the process of this lawsuit in order to commercially suppress the business of the Capetian family and the Anthem Consortium.
Those social activists and public opinion have brought too many problems for them, and the stock price that has been cut in half has also exposed many contradictions in the Song Consortium, some small families that have not suffered serious losses are planning to secede, and large families that have suffered serious losses want to take money from other people's pockets to make up for their own losses. The boycott of the products of the Capetian family and the Anthem Consortium seems to have become an indescribable trend at the grassroots level of the Empire, and it is not yet possible to dissolve it.
Because a few days ago, Durin "advertised" himself in the newspapers again, and some newspapers, under the instruction of Durin, once again expressed a view that Durin was shot in the west and had something to do with the Capet family, and that with the serious economic problems of the Song Consortium, the Song Consortium, including the Capet family, wanted to end this extremely unfavorable lawsuit for them as soon as possible and downplay the adverse effects caused by the lawsuit. They tried to mediate privately with Doolin, but Doolin did not agree, so they sent gunmen to kill Doolin to end the lawsuit.
Well, this is a very nonsense news content, but the more nonsense the news society, the more attention will be paid to the bottom of the society, no one thinks about national events and the international situation every day, but they are very concerned about such story-like news, and actively participate in the discussion.
After reading the newspaper for about ten minutes, no one disturbed Durin's "Yaxing" in the process, and when they finished reading the last edition, the four mine owners were relieved.
Durin put the newspaper on the coffee table and looked up at the four of them, "You're early. ”
Of course it was early, and the devil knew if the ten o'clock clock that Durin said would be a little earlier, so they came at eight o'clock, and whether Durin saw them or not, they would be here until Durin saw them.
"Sit, sit down, I don't know if there is any place where you can take care of me when you come to me?", Durin took out his cigarette case and smoked a cigarette, picked up the lighter and lit it for himself, he looked at the four people with a smile.
"No, no, no, Mr. Doolin, you misunderstood, didn't we borrow some money from you last month? It was a balding middle-aged man who spoke, with a flattering smile, for fear that Du Lin would not be satisfied with their statement, and took out an IOU, "Look, I have brought all the IOUs." ”
