About half an hour later, the phone on Doolin's desk rang again. He rubbed his wrist, put down the pen in his hand, and looked at the whole page of words that only he could understand, very satisfied. This time he didn't use Chinese characters to record, but used the words of this world, as for why no one could read it...... , it may be that his font style is more flying.

Picking up the phone, he walked to the window, pushed open the window and lit a cigarette for himself, "This is the Mayor's Office of Otis." ”

Then he heard an unfamiliar voice.

"Hello, Mayor Doolin, I'm Harry. He reiterated and explained, "I'm Governor Harry, and this is our first phone call. ”

"Hello, Mr. Harry, it's a pleasure to talk to you on the phone, I don't know if there's anything you need me to do?"

Harry laughed, his voice was very friendly, at least so that Durin didn't feel aggressive, "Mayor Doolin, let's put it this way, Mr. Horston called me just now to explain the recent situation on your side. Actually, I also know some news about you from other sources, and now I want to hear your opinion on this matter and convince me. ”

Before Durin came to Otis, he got to know everyone in the neighborhood, including his immediate boss, Governor Harry.

Harry Widson, this is the most simplified name after removing the chain of titles in the middle.

Harry is an aristocrat, he had just inherited the title of earl from his grandfather before he changed his position, and then secretly joined the camp of the new party without hesitation, and at a critical moment to the royal family and the old nobles, since then he has held a very important role and has a high reputation in the party. This is a young and powerful member of the New Party, even though he is 44 years old. There is a grapevine that Harry will be one of the strong contenders for the next leader of the new party, many people are optimistic about him, and there are rumors that Harry has the support of the northern consortium of the empire behind him, and those people privately admit that they are bound to win the next party leader!

The power of capital and the power of politics are always so "regardless of the past", and many members of those old capital forces are old aristocrats, and they don't care at all that Harry has betrayed them, they only care about how much they can get if they bet on Harry.

Harry is a very reasonable man, maybe only superficially reasonable, politicians are creatures who always make themselves perfect, and it's hard to say what lies beneath the gorgeous surface. Of course, no politician can make himself perfect, and perfection means great ambition and conspiracy, which can create distrust, so Harry also has a flaw, a very obvious flaw.

He liked women, he had his own family, but he still liked women and there was no one to reprimand him for it, because his wife had died in the delivery room with a hemorrhage during childbirth. Since then, Harry has not remarried and had children, and while expressing his longing for his deceased wife to the public, he is looking for a woman to warm his heart. Although these women were eventually avoided by Harry with the result of "unable to convince himself to fall in love with a woman other than his wife", the news and discussion points were relatively positive overall.

This is an interesting, seemingly paradoxical governor with ulterior motives, and he is definitely not as simple as he appears.

In response to Governor Harry's question, Durin directly told him his answer - the SAR.

The establishment of the special zone was Durin's first idea after coming to Otis, there were no resources here, and if he couldn't change this place, he would be changed by this place. He doesn't want to climb up, he doesn't think that he will one day become the top three big people in the party, he just wants to play something new after making a sum of political capital, that's all.

When Durin brought up the term D.C., Governor Harry was immediately interested, he thought that Durin would cry to him that Otis had nothing, so he came up with such a ghost solution. Then he may also make demands, such as that he stop what he is doing now, but the state needs to give him some policy support, or transfer him to another place, but he did not expect that Dohrin actually has a whole set of plans.

It is this word that arouses Harry's curiosity, he is a young man himself, so he is very curious about some new things, and he is also very receptive.

In Dühring's description, the place has many elements that people have noticed but not paid attention to, the first point is that this is the heart of the empire, and it only takes more than two to three hours to drive from Otis to the imperial capital. Secondly, it is very backward and poor, but it is precisely because of backwardness and poverty that there will be no resistance to future urban planning. Thirdly, Dühring believed that in the next twenty years, the empire's economy would grow rapidly, people would need more spiritual enjoyment, and that Prohibition, including the prohibition of gambling, would no longer be appropriate.

Although it is far from the point where it can be abolished, the policy should be appropriately relaxed in some places, and citizens should not always be raised as sheep.

By relaxing these policies, a large amount of funds will be absorbed for the development and construction of cities and states, so as to drive the economic construction of surrounding areas and even the entire state. The more tax dollars the governor has, the more ideas he can turn into reality, and the more clear and enforceable policies are more likely to be liked by voters.

It's like somebody who says he wants to build a public toilet, but he hasn't built it for eight years, will people still believe him? If he can build a public toilet after he has finished talking, no matter how much taxpayer money is used for this public toilet, and no matter whether the public toilet can have a positive impact and actual effect, at least he is talking about it, and people will want to believe him.

Politicians also need to talk about performance, which is the economic and cultural construction, as well as the impression in the minds of citizens. If you do a good job, you will naturally perform well, and there is also the possibility of going further. If you don't do well, you will also be punished, after all, it is impossible for a party to use these officials who tarnish the image of the party.

In Dulin's description, this place will become a new paradise and gold grotto, and it will also drive the economic effect of the surrounding area, especially when Doolin said that he intends to excavate the two mountains on the east and west sides, turn the natural danger into a smooth road, and speed up the construction and development of Otis, Governor Harry is obviously more interested than before.

That's the line of thought in Doolin's conversation, or technique. Excavate the two mountains in this period, which will not only improve the image of local officials and add a thick stack of achievements, but also interest the consortium behind Harry. You must know that digging two tunnels is at least a project of tens of millions of yuan, and the ultimate goal of their support for Harry is not to make profits?

A phone call was discussed for more than forty minutes, and finally Governor Harry, after deliberation, gave Durin the answer he wanted, "If what you say can be realized, then I will support you, you have four years, and in four years I will go somewhere else, so you must complete everything you said before I leave, is there a problem?"

Of course, Durin will not tell Harry that he can't do it, he swears: "Mr. Harry, if you haven't been very busy lately, you can pay more attention to the information here, and the settlement date of this quarter is coming, you can pay attention to it a little." ”

"Very good, I'm looking forward to your performance!"

After hanging up the phone, Durin's cigarette had already burned to the end, he took a puff and threw it out the window, and got Harry, he had no opponent in this state, and he could be confident and bold to carry out his plan.

He walked over to the table and glanced at the four ropes on his right-hand side, remembered it with a little grimace, then pulled out one of them and tugged hard.

The city of Otis is very poor and backward, and it is like a place of exile for officials, so the infrastructure is far from home. In order to make it easier for the mayor to find the staff of the various offices without having to run downstairs, the previous mayor made this thing. The rope will be led through the pipe to the other offices, and when Durin pulls the rope on this side, the bell at the other end will jingle and ring, which will alert the people in the office that the mayor is calling.

After waiting for three minutes, a woman who said it was thirty-two walked into Doolin's office, this guy's name was Natalie, a native of the East. According to Thomson, the broken-mouthed guy claimed that she was assigned here because she didn't want to accompany her boss to socialize. Her husband also divorced her because of some peachy stories that circulated, and now she is single and has no children. Thomson drooled twice when he told the rumor, and he sucked it back.

"Mayor Doolin, are you looking for me?", Natalie was dressed in a very delicate formal suit, leaning towards androgyny, but the short skirt tightly wrapped her hips, and her snow-white legs exuded a natural, healthy and attractive color in the sunlight through the window, she was indeed a very good woman.

Durin nodded, and said impatiently: "Find someone to install a phone in this damn office building, and is there a telegraph office in Otis City?", Natalie shook her head awkwardly, and Durin wrapped his mouth, "Then recruit a telegraph director, this task is assigned to you, and I will then allocate 20,000 yuan to do this as soon as possible, is there a problem?"

Natalie shook her head, and Durin waved her hand outward, lowered her head and continued to pick up the pen to write.

It wasn't until Natalie was gone for ten minutes that he remembered what he was going to do.

Glancing at the rope on his right, he sighed, this place of the hell!
