Chapter 565: To the West
In winter, there are not many tourists in the city of Otis, and the whole city seems a little deserted, which is also the off-season that tourist cities need to bear. However, there is one exception, the surrounding business district with the seven major casinos as the core is still very lively, gamblers from the empire and even the Federation regard this place as a holy place, every day they can see the birth of the miracle of wealth and go crazy with jealousy, and will also ignore the haunting of more wealth black holes.
Everyone is convinced that God kissed their foreheads when they were born, but God sometimes does not kiss them with his mouth.
In the middle of nowhere, a bar that had been full two months ago was empty, with only five or six people sitting lazily on the edge of the bar, listening to relaxing music and drinking and enjoying a leisurely time. The women from the primitive tribes who couldn't even wear clothes on the stage were gone, and the men who seemed to be the descendants of orangutans covered in muscle bumps were also gone, and they all went to the casino to seek wealth, and no one would choose to stay here to show their poverty in front of a few dozen guests who couldn't even afford to wear clothes.
The door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind blew in from outside, and the city of Otis itself is located in the Gobi, and the wind is strong in winter, which makes people feel daunted.
The customers at the bar were wrapped up and turned to look behind them, and there was a guy in a trench coat and a hat by the door who was shaking his body, and the snowflakes on his body fell to the ground with the violent shaking of his body.
He took off his clothes and hat and handed them to the girl who was in charge of storing things for the guests by the door, and walked over with a faintly excited expression on his face.
The bartender at the bar glanced at him, and while mixing a cocktail for him, he also hinted that the doorman had closed the door, and the wind outside was too cold!
"You're late!", the guy in a white suit who sat in the middle of the bar smiled and patted the high stool next to him, "Was it too late last night for you to even get out of bed?", several other guests laughed.
Last night, this late guest called two seventeen, eighteen, or nineteen-year-old girls from the primitive tribe to his house to discuss the issue of financial assistance, which was a very sacred thing, considering the backward social environment of the primitive tribe and the fact that they needed to face natural disasters and natural damage, he not only assisted a valuable amount of money, but also tried to increase the population of the primitive tribe.
He shrugged his shoulders, sat down on the stool and took a sip of his glass, the wine in his mouth was a little sweet and slightly sour, and after a variety of complex flavors, it was the strongest wine.
He lowered his glass and raised an eyebrow, "You know what? Dolin is leaving Otis City!"
The moment he said this, the playful smiles on the faces of the people around him froze, and time seemed to be suspended by some mischievous God at this moment, and even the bartender stopped wiping the wine glass in his hand and looked at him without blinking.
It took about twenty or thirty seconds for the men to come to their senses, and their eyes glowed with an indescribable glow.
"You...... Is it true??Is Durin leaving Otis??Where is he going??", the guest who was sitting on one side hurried over, forgetting to bring his glass.
The latecomer had a very smug expression, "You know, I paid three thousand yuan when I bought this message, you ...... Don't you need to say something?"
The news was very important, and three thousand yuan was not a lot of money for the people here, and the customer who sat in the middle of the bar next to him, who was also the owner of the bar, immediately asked the bar to take five hundred yuan from the cash drawer at the counter and put it on the table.
The others also took out money ranging from two hundred to five hundred and piled it up. The late guy was very satisfied with the money put away and put it neatly in his arms, he looked at the friends who had gathered around, and whispered: "He has been dismissed, and it is said that he will be appointed again, but you know, sometimes there are some things that can only be listened to, and you can't believe it!"
This news made the people around them excited, they can be said to be the beneficiaries of Otis City, but they can also be said to be disappointed, because they are all members of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, not members of the Otis City Chamber of Commerce, and this time Durin plans to package Otis City into the market. They also tried to fight with Doolin, but in the end they all failed, they knew Doolin very well, so they could only regret watching the opportunity to make money slip out of their hands.
But now, that Durin guy is leaving, is the dark cloud over Otis finally going to clear?
Doolin did turn the city into a gold cave, allowing the money of tourists and gamblers to flow into their pockets, but he also restricted the city's more "free" development. For those who are excluded from the Dolin program, they will feel that Doolin is not a qualified mayor because he discriminates against some people and limits the size and operation of these people in the city of Otis.
Now, there was no need to worry about these things, because Durin was leaving, and when he left, the city would be truly liberated and truly free, which was what the merchants wanted to see.
"That's good news, this glass is mine!", the bar owner slapped after hearing this, he used to run the bar in Namilins, and by the way, he also ran some economic emergency services full of love and humanistic care. Bars don't make much money, but they can borrow, and they make a lot of money. He had thought that with so many casinos in Otis City, it would be full of gamblers who desperately needed money to regain their dignity for losing at the table.
However, reality gave him a stick head-on, these big casinos not only have special loan counters, but also the low interest rate makes people outside have little to eat, and he can only focus all his attention on running a bar. He believed that the interest on the loan in the casino was definitely not demanded by the merchants themselves, and that it must have been Dohrin who forced them to lower the interest rate. Once Durin left, the interest on the casino loan increased, and his humanistic rescue project could continue.
What's more, when Doylin leaves, they will be included in the Otis City listing plan, which is the most important thing.
In the whole city, there are always two or three or five people discussing things about Durin, as if the politics of the entire imperial capital are a sieve with big holes and small eyes, and there are no secrets hidden at all. However, it is also possible that this news was deliberately leaked, in order to force Durin to leave as a loser as soon as possible, so as to clear the city of the invincibility of Durin.
At this time, standing by the window on the second floor and looking at the flickering neon lights around him, Du Lin held a tray in his hand, and pinched the ear of the coffee cup in the other hand, he looked at the heavy snow outside the house through the glass window, and stopped for a long time before turning around, "Let everyone stop going to the police for the time being these days, and give them a good rest." Before I left, these people would have waited honestly for the moment when they thought the sun would come out. ”
Haight nodded, indicating that he knew, and Du Fo on the side couldn't help but smile while trimming his nails with a sharp knife: "Before I met you, I only went to the district prison in the farthest place, but after I met you, I have been to too many places, where are we going this time? South, North, or Confederacy?"
Du Lin also laughed, he thought about it carefully, it was really like this, these people and he went to various places, especially in the past three years, they have hardly stayed in one place for more than two years, most of the time they have done something, and then they will change places. He casually put down the tray and cup and sat down across from them, his legs crossed. He took out a box of cigarettes from his well-fitting gray jacket, took one out, and someone lit it for him.
He took a deep breath and slowly spit out, "This time we're going west!"
He will not go to the south, because it is useless to go, as the area with the strongest capital power and the most open vision of the people, the south is firmly occupied by some big conglomerates and capitalists. They have accumulated enough deep heritage in the past ten years to definitely not tolerate the emergence of a new player in their sphere of influence who may shake them. Durin would have been given the best reception when he went to the south, and then he would have been sent back.
It is impossible for him to go to the north, the Capet family and his new and old hatreds have not yet been settled, and now everyone is busy with their own affairs and can't manage each other, if they run under their noses, the Capet family will definitely regard this as a provocation, and there will only be war in the coming days.
Time is precious, and what Durin needs is to develop and grow, not to fight, so after choosing a circle, he finally put his location in the west this time.
First of all, the west is relatively backward, there is nothing capitalists pay attention to except the wilderness, deserts, and mountains, and the social structure there is relatively simple, but at the same time it has sufficient potential for development.
A large number of gold diggers, miners, minorities and barbarians in the mountains are all objects that can be developed, and more importantly, the tens of millions of funds in Durin's hands need to be moved.
By the way, you can also find trouble with Memnon, wearing a mask in front of him and saying those embarrassing dialogues.
Of course, Durin would never admit that he did it to make Mr. Kersma happy, he was just by the way, nothing more.
