Chapter 535: The Manager [1]
At the annual meeting of the Capet family, the old man's health is getting worse and worse, and his face is so black that he can almost absorb the light. For the aristocracy, the annual meeting is a family event, and all those who can return must rush back, except for a very small number of expatriate family members who cannot return. This annual meeting is not only a summary of the past year, but also involves the issue of profit distribution in the new year.
In the past, it was impossible for Solo to be late for such an annual meeting, he returned to the family early every time, and then at the annual meeting, he could compete for more dividends for himself. But this time, he didn't come back, not only did he not come back, Ernes didn't come back, he didn't even send a short message, which couldn't help but make people have a little bit of a bad guess if something happened to him. Combined with the fact that he left the family and went out was the most important thing to do, the eyes of the head of the family fell on the other two heirs who came back early.
As if sensing this gaze, both heirs responded with a smile generously, no matter what happened to Solo, as long as it had nothing to do with them, it was a good thing. The three heirs have become two heirs, and the chances of each other having the opportunity to become the head of such a huge family are much greater.
As soon as the annual meeting opened, it was a whole day, and the main reason for delaying it for so long was the dividend distribution next year. At the end of the year, some people do well and some people do not do well, then the dividends that these people get the next year will change, a little more, or a little less. It may seem that such fluctuations are measured in thousandths, but looking at the entire Capet family, this thousandth is also an astonishing wealth.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, after the noisy annual meeting, Mr. Capet was called by the governor of Woodland, asking about his deal with Solo. He values the deal very much, and as long as he can get the position of vice chairman of the New Party Committee, the last and most stubborn threshold of his political career will be crossed. Otherwise, he can only go around at his current level, and when he is almost retired, he will be given a more senior position for a year and a half, which can be regarded as the last affirmation of his political career in this life.
The call was brief, and after both parties had gotten what they wanted, Mr. Capet hung up the phone and sat behind the desk with one hand propped up his chin. His Excellency Governor Woodland said that Solo had returned to the North, but Solo had not returned, so he must have had something happen on the way. The credit he was able to talk to Governor Woodland was enough to bring him closer to his position, but he disappeared, something must have happened.
Mr. Capet then called Solo's wife and asked her if she knew Solo's whereabouts, and when he learned from Solo's wife that Solo's whereabouts had been investigated, the old gentleman immediately understood that something might have happened to Solo.
Calls kept coming in, and at nearly twelve o'clock, Mr. Capet hung up the phone with a solemn face.
The person investigating Solo's whereabouts may be Doolin's man, and the person who assassinated Solo is also Doolin's man, and the investigation bureau on Woodland's side has reported a very important piece of information, Solo was assassinated in the local area, he was safe and sound, and then he returned to the north by boat. The local investigative bureau provided the ticket stubs, and employees also saw Solo and Ones disembarking at the destination check-in, but they then disappeared.
Combined with the previous information, it is highly likely that they are finished, and it is the hand of Doolin.
This struck Mr. Capet as an indescribable grotesqueness, as Solo planned to use assassination to get rid of Dorin, so that the family could take the opportunity to reach into Otis City and take control of one of the casinos or more, in order to launder the money they had earned from smuggling. But the assassination failed, which also made the Capetian family passive with Magus. Then there were some small problems between the two sides, such as Durin never letting go, and refuting his face.
But all of this has been settled under Maggs's compromise, why did Durin still do it to Solo? Was it because he was holding a grudge at the time and never released it, or was it because he was ...... Solo went to provoke him again?
It is really a very troublesome thing, and Mr. Cape, who has already seen Durin's toughness, does not think that blindly going to war now is the best option, and the family's focus should be on the construction of the new special zone, not on such personal contradictions.
And as Durin considered, disappearance does not necessarily mean death, and before the specific circumstances of Solo are determined, even if Mr. Capet knew that Durin had arranged for someone to assassinate Solo and succeeded, he did not use this matter to question Durin openly, because he had no evidence.
The people on Woodland's side have not confessed to Doolin until now, so it is difficult to involve Doolin in this matter. And what if Solo is okay? After a while, he suddenly pops up again, and the family has already started a war with Durin before that, so how will it end?
Headache!
Mr. Capet only wanted to give up his place sooner, he didn't want to hurt himself for these things, and he wanted to live a few more years. He sighed and stood up on crutches, it was not early, it was time to rest, he was no longer his young self, he had the courage to say no to the night.
The next day, Mr. Capet didn't say anything as if nothing had happened, and now is not the time!
On the other hand, Durin is also actively preparing for some things about the New Year, the year is about to pass, and he has done a lot of things in the past year, such as the process of Otis coming into being, such as turning the city into a heaven on earth, achieving a huge profit, and satisfying the purpose of all travelers who come here to seek a change. First arranged for the token company to transfer the tokens in the hands of all investors, and then arranged two banquets for everyone to celebrate the last day together.
At the same time, he also invited a well-known manager of Xie Lisi Street from the imperial capital to discuss the matter of "packaging" the whole city to be listed. Being able to travel on the last day of the year, in addition to professionalism, this project for Doolin could be an opportunity for the manager to change his own destiny.
"Mr. Doolin, your idea is very ......," the manager named Herlandus searched his brain for a moment before he came up with the word "magical", "yes, very magical." From the day Cheris Street was born, no, from the day the stock was born, no one thought about turning a city into a huge project to go public. And your city has a lot of potential and is sure to attract the attention of many investors. ”
"But we are now facing some questions, first of all, whether the Empire will support your actions, after all, it is against common sense. The second question is, if the city of Otis is listed, where will the investors' income come from, and will there be a long-term guarantee of returns? The third question is, now that you are the mayor and you can run this project, I believe that you will not stop at the mayor, and you will be the governor or even enter the cabinet in the future, so how do you ensure that the mayor who succeeds you can continue to implement your governance philosophy and policy?
"What if your successor chooses to delist once he thinks that the negative impact and damage to the city of going public and accepting investment is greater than the benefits gained? How to ensure the interests of investors?", he is very serious, this is indeed a big plan worth joining, as long as it can be successful, he will become one of the most successful managers on Sherith Street in one fell swoop, and it will also be included in the textbook.
After all, he ran a city listing, which was an absolute feat of unprecedented proportions.
After listening to his confusion, Du Lin gave his own answer, "I will try to persuade them to agree to my plan in the cabinet, and the SAR does not have to act in accordance with the current laws and regulations, and I have a certain degree of autonomy." As for the dividends for investors, I plan to set up a 'dividend warehouse', in addition to taxes, all companies operating in the area, including the city hall, will put some extra money into the dividend warehouse as an annual dividend for investors. ”
Hollanders nodded, the idea was not perfect, but it had the ability to attract investors' attention. He heard that the tax revenue of Otis City in the second half of this year has exceeded 70 million, and in addition to the more than 50 million that needs to be paid, more than 10 million will be left in the city hall as a sustainable development fund. Coupled with the profits of companies from all sides, if they can allocate a certain amount of income to investors, I believe that many investors will be very interested in this project.
However, there are certain problems here, for example, if the dividend warehouse in Dulin's mouth cannot satisfy the desire of investors, investors may not be interested in this special stock. If there is another scandal or something, it may be very troublesome.
There are a lot of things to be carefully pondered and discussed, and Hollanders has made up his mind that as soon as tonight is over, he will immediately pull his team over and run this matter at full strength!
"As for whether my policy will be ......rejected by future generations," Dühring smiled confidently, "I believe that every successor will choose very wisely to carry out my governing philosophy, and only this is in their best interest." ”
Yes, no one, whoever will replace him, if he wants to live well in his city, he must participate in this game according to his rules.
All ways of playing beyond the rules are not allowed, there are so many "seniors" who show them the way, and no one will make a mistake in this matter!
