Chapter 1258: The Rogue of Knowledge
Durin had planned to visit Mags, after all, he and Maggs were a family anyway, and they had a deeper relationship of interest.
It's just that what he didn't expect was that Mags actually went out on a trip, and the destination was Seliwell.
The headquarters of the World Financial and Trade Organization is established in the small neutral country of Seliville, and as the organizer and the only core country, the Shining Star Empire will definitely assume a series of responsibilities such as construction, operation and maintenance.
If there is no enough heavyweight to go to Seliville, even if it is only for a short time, there is more or less unjustifiable in international diplomatic affairs, which means that they do not attach importance to this matter.
Since you don't pay attention to it, why did you coerce and lure everyone into the water in the first place?
Therefore, it is necessary to send people to show that the Shining Star Empire and the cabinet attach great importance to international financial and trade organizations, and at the same time, they must not make the specifications too excessive and deviate from the topic.
In other words, Kubal cannot go in person, because this is not an official state visit, let alone a major diplomatic act, but just the construction and operation of an "international organization", and it is very likely that Kubal going there in person will be self-defeating and give some people the opportunity to create contradictions.
The gold rush in the Hawksbill region is intensifying, and not only the Empire is meddling in the problems of the Hawksbill region, but also several countries are meddling in the peace and security issues in the region, including the Colt Empire.
It just so happens that Seliwell is close to the Colt Empire, and its geographical location is indeed somewhat sensitive, once someone creates an empire to spy on Selivel or even the interests of the Colt Empire and even the territory, it is very likely to make this relatively reliable ally feel a gap.
After deliberations with the Cabinet, they decided to send Maggs, who had retired from his post and was at home, to inspect the work.
Although he has relieved himself of his job, he is now an "ordinary person...... Hehe, but he had been the Prime Minister of the Empire for thirty years, and he was one of the ministers who had held the power of the Empire for the longest time.
He has a very terrible prestige and status within the empire and in the world, and the dispatch of such a retired prime minister not only shows the importance that the empire attaches to international financial and trade organizations, but also does not touch the sensitive nerves of some people.
Even if someone wants to make a fuss about it, how can they write it?
"Retired Veteran Cadre Partnership Conspirators Attempt to Subvert the Celeville/Colt Empire?!"
Whoever dares to write such an article is tantamount to telling the whole world that the writer is a mentally retarded.
Important but insensitive, there are only two people in the entire empire who can meet this condition, the first person is Magus, and the second person is the third prince who has just ascended the throne, or should I say His Majesty the Emperor.
So as for why His Majesty the Emperor didn't do these things, it was entirely because everyone didn't allow it, the emperor should live in the palace all day long, only the emperor who was content with pleasure and having children was a good emperor, and there was still trouble between the eldest prince and His Majesty the Emperor, and the people who made trouble were annoyed.
Mags's departure did not cause any waves in China, and even the newspapers did not accurately report that Mags was going to travel, but only mentioned very vaguely that there would be commissioners in the empire who would go to Seliville to inspect and visit the newly established international financial and trade organization.
That's what the Cabinet wants, and it might not do any good to keep a low profile, but it won't hurt either, but it's good enough.
There is no harm, which is the biggest good!
There really wasn't much fun in the imperial capital in January, the icy air and thick snow were the only features of this time period, and Durin stayed in the imperial capital for less than a week before embarking on the train back to the west.
The atmosphere in Ambiluo is a bit higher than the cold here, and although it is also cold, it is not as cold as here.
The change in temperature outside the train was noticeable from the moment the train entered the central region of the west, and the problem was significantly improved when it arrived in the capital of the state of Ambiluo.
The coldest month has passed, and the temperature is slowly rising, and the outside temperature has reached seven or eight degrees.
Doolin had expected that this winter and the arrival of the snow season would discourage tourists from yearning for Ambiluo, but he was wrong on this point.
The snowfall could not stop the tourists, the mountains near the northeast of Ambiluo were covered with snow and ice, and the tourist track map that had been perfected, many tourists from the southern and tropical countries visited Ambiluo this winter.
For this group of people, who have probably not seen heavy snow for a few years or since birth, spending winter break here is as pleasant as a northerner going south to enjoy the sun, and it is probably the only place in the entire empire or the whole world to see and have fun in winter.
Yes, you can go sightseeing or come to play, and the snow resort, which was originally planned to open next year, opened early due to the inexplicable crowds of tourists in winter, and several relatively gentle slopes of Yagur Mountain have become the most attractive places this winter.
Tourists rolling down the hill and laughing at the mechanical arm hooked up and continuing to roll down the hill, which made the resort maintenance staff think that these people were either here to ski or to get out.
Almost everyone who travels here tries to learn to ski and ride snowboards, a "sport" that used to be only used by the northern barbarians as a daily life, has been transformed into a very attractive project, with some cable TV channels and programs coming more than once and interviewing many people.
Most people were full of praise for skiing, and occasionally a few less friendly ones were hand-skied by the editors, but the project was a success, even if it was rushed to the ground.
As soon as he returned to the villa, the little secretary who had been in the office during this time made a phone call to Doolin and told him that the shareholders of the McCows Military Industrial Group had been waiting for him for four days, and had just called to make an appointment to meet with Doolin, and she wanted to ask Doolin for permission to arrange this meeting.
Since the beginning of the new era, many things have changed dramatically, and a large number of once numerous military enterprises have closed down, because of the huge gap between the imperial war machine and the federal war machine in the Civil War, so that the cabinet and the Ministry of Defense cut a large number of military orders in a fit of rage, and refused to cooperate with certain military enterprises.
This knife is directly cut at the lifeblood of military enterprises, and with the collapse or transformation of a large number of military enterprises, those who can survive can already be regarded as leaders.
Among them, the Bondika Military Industrial Group and the McCows Military Industrial Group are the most, in fact, the Ancient Bostone Industry is also a very successful military industrial group, but they have been reformed and transformed to the civilian field, and the agricultural platforms and agricultural interfaces currently produced have been sold well at home and abroad.
This time, the McCows military-industrial complex came to talk to Doolin about another project - the paintball program.
People's understanding and impression of the West often comes from some Westerns, and they don't really understand the West, so they will be misled by Westerns.
In their view, the West is the world of cowboys and gold diggers, and everyone is a romantic outlaw who can walk a few steps back to back when the need arises, then suddenly turn around and shoot, using bullets to decide who is next lucky.
This tension and excitement have an element of adventure, and at the same time a touch of rugged romance, which is the complete concept of the West.
And Durin has been trying to restore this part of the stuff as much as possible, and he will not force to correct the wrong views of tourists and outsiders about the West, that is not necessary.
In order to please tourists to bring a long-term stable and mature economic system to the state of Ambiluo, in order to fit the tourism theme of this year's "Gold Digger", as well as various tourism themes such as cowboys, witches, and barbarians, so that tourists can have an immersive experience and be fascinated by it, Doolin had an idea.
Since you like danger and romance, then give you weapons and let you experience them.
This is also one of the cooperation projects he negotiated with McCows Military Industrial Group, replacing the real bullet with a wax-sealed pigment bullet, and changing the structure of the gun so that the bullet it shoots does not have the ability to hurt others, but has a certain range and speed.
Some of the demanding requirements are almost as good as redesigning many brand-new guns that meet Doolin's requirements, they have nothing to learn from, they are completely innovative, and even create a whole new family of guns.
This is a big business, at least for the time being, and Doolin's first batch of no less than 50,000 sets of guns that shoot pigment bullets and at least four wax-sealed pigment bullet assembly lines can bring huge profits to the McCows military industrial group.
They are very famous for the design of their guns, and the firearms currently in service in the empire are basically from the McCows military-industrial group, which is one of the reasons why Durin asked them to cooperate.
For Dulin's attention, and the importance of this project - McCows Military Industry Group has been keenly aware that this is definitely not a one-shot deal, but a sustainable long-term business, and there will be more and wider sales channels, they have increased the importance of this project, immediately sent people to do preliminary preparations, and actively registered the world patent.
After they found out that almost all similar gun patents had been preemptively registered and formed patent barriers, they realized that this business was not necessarily a separate business, so this time it was a major shareholder with certain decision-making power who came to negotiate cooperation on behalf of McCows.
In the afternoon, Durin met with Mr. McCows, the majority shareholder of the McCows Military-Industrial Group.
McCows is his last name, and his first name is Seymour, one of the important members of the McCows family, who appears to be in his forties.
In fact, most capitalists and experts engaged in capital research will tell everyone not to put your relatives in your enterprise, which will become a bad example and reduce the efficiency of the enterprise.
They can give a lot of examples and prove it in various ways, as long as you put your relatives in your business, haha, then you and your business will definitely be doomed.
This caused many businessmen to encounter some troubles in the early stage of development, from the trouble of family and relatives, and they stubbornly followed the management books or lectures written by those big capitalists and experts, some succeeded, and some failed.
People tend to blindly listen to the conclusions given by the authority, and do not question whether the authority is authoritative enough, and whether the authoritative conclusions are appropriate in the process of argumentation.
It's like these ordinary businessmen, who have listened to the advice of all kinds of big capitalists and experts who study capital, can never see that in those real industrial trusts, almost the vast majority of shareholders have the same surname.
It may be a joke, but it's not a joke, whether it's the McCows Group, or the Bondika Group, or other areas of the industry, how many outsiders can there be in the decision-making level of the company, among the shareholders?
No, not much!
This society has always been so funny, successful people will never share the secret of success, only tell some specious jokes, but because they are authoritative, their jokes have become the Bible in the eyes of some people.
Durin stretched out his hand and shook hands with Seymour, and after the two sat down separately, Seymour directly took out several sketches of the firearm design and placed them in front of Durin.
The drawings are so delicate that even a layman who has not studied drawing can clearly understand the simple contents of these drawings.
"At your request, we have selected several retired design masters to participate in the design of the entire series, this is the first CAG-1 (Colour &Ammo & Gun) ......", Seymour studied Durin before coming, so after the greeting went straight to the topic, "Considering the design purpose you proposed, we provided a ammunition feeder that can store at least two hundred rounds of ammunition......"
Du Lin listened very carefully, this series of paintball guns will determine the success of the Gold Digger project, he looked at the design of each weapon very carefully, and asked very carefully, and finally selected seven from more than a dozen designs to enter the physical verification link.
When those talks were over, and Seymour said that the paintball guns would be delivered to the West in two weeks at most, he moved on to another issue, patents.
The patent itself is a manifestation of hooliganism, and the purpose of formulating patent standards and protection is actually the blockade of the higher civilization against the lower civilization, which is a shameful hooliganism.
But sometimes, we can also describe it as a necessary guarantee for the progress of civilization, and how to express this problem depends on whose hands the patent holds.
When Dührin held these patents, who would dare to say that he was a hooligan?
"I'd like to have a preliminary conversation with you about the patent issue for paintball guns, and the company's top management is very concerned about this aspect and has given me a large part of the authority to deal with this matter......," Seymour looked at Durin and smiled most sincerely.
