Chapter 369: Relationship [3] [1st update of this month]
"Every family, I will give you 10,000 yuan!", when Du Lin said this, even the citizens who had already moved showed a look of interest on their faces, and some even wanted to stand up and walk towards the small group of people, but Du Lin's words dispelled their impulses and thoughts.
"But, as soon as you take the money, leave the city of Otis, and on behalf of the city, I tell you that you are not welcome here!"
Durin looked at the others, "My promise is still valid, not only will I lead you to change the city, and show the people out there who think it's rubbish, so that they know that their eyes may not be able to see the world clearly, but I will also guarantee that most of you will become rich." โ
"Ten thousand, that's only a part!"
A young man stood up embarrassedly, he looked back several times before he lowered his head and asked, "Mr. Mayor, you said that most people, but what about some people?"
Du Lin replied with a smile: "All those who are hard-working, those who are willing to pay, can get the life I promised." But I can't guarantee that everyone is diligent and willing to give, there will always be some people who daydream and dream of pies and bills falling from the sky. These people will not be in my promise, and I will not let these people share in the fruits of your efforts, it will be a disgrace to you!"
He slapped his clothes a few times, there were construction sites all around, the dust was really a bit big, and after standing for a while, some visible dust fell on his shoulders, and he looked at those who were a little embarrassed and unwilling to relocate, "I will ask Director Haight to deliver the money to you, and then I will also send you away, and please don't regret the choice you made today." โ
After saying this, Durin turned and walked towards the gate of the town hall, and the moment he and Martin staggered, he whispered, "Live in fear, Mr. Martin!", no one knew what he said to Martin, and he didn't even see him speak, only to see him smile and nod at Martin, and then leave.
Martin was stunned for a moment, his face was suddenly full of anger, he was about to say the threat that Durin had against him, but he saw the glint in the eyes of those people, he knew that even if he said it, no one would believe him, and even some people would think that he was slandering Durin. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, glanced at the useless waste, and turned away.
Martin is from Namirinders, and the mayor of Namirinders has already felt threatened by Dohring, especially when Governor Harry said in private that Doolin intends to break through the east and west mountains and build a railroad. It was precisely because of these words, which seemed irrelevant to Governor Harry, that the mayor of Namirinders had a sense of crisis.
The biggest problem in the city of Otis is the traffic, when the traffic is not convenient and there is no railway, the city of Otis is as prosperous as it is today. Because those two mountains were only a matter of riding around them, and Otis was one of the satellite cities of the imperial capital at that time, defending the imperial capital from threats from the south. Any caravan from the south to the imperial capital and to the north had to be inspected in the city of Otis before they could pass, which ensured the prosperity of the city of Otis.
However, after the advent of steam locomotives, the two mountains in the east and west directions of the city of Otis made the railroad a bubble, and residents or goods from other cities in the north who wanted to go to the imperial capital had to go to Nano Lindes first, which created the special status of Nano Lindes in the whole state.
If Doohrin does break through two mountains, or launch a canyon that can accommodate steam locomotives, and his current series of operations and the state's support for him, there is no doubt that the city of Otis will gradually replace the special status of Namirinders. At that time, the position of Namillinders will become very awkward, and the state will definitely take back the policy in favor of the city of Otis in order to save resources, and finally Namilinders will become an empty city.
A thriving city can not only bring excellent political performance, but also add to his own wallet, so the mayor of Namirinders must have a deal with Durin, whether it is for political purposes or for his own interests. Not to mention getting Durin down, at least it will lag behind his development speed, and after these four years have passed, he will go elsewhere or be promoted and leave Namilinders, and then let Durin develop.
At that time, whether it was Namirinders or Otis City, it would have nothing to do with him, but not now.
Dรผrin's identity is not a secret in the new party, especially after the concept of the SAR attracted the attention of the new party leader Maggs, and the person and the things he did were deeply excavated. Moonshiners and the like are nothing new, and people have found out that he has been in prison and even joined the old party. He doesn't have many secrets other than those that are still ambiguous and inconclusive.
However, Martin may not know so clearly, if he really knows Durin as well as the New Party higher-ups do, he may not be willing to come to Otis City to embarrass Durin, you must know that the party whip has said that Durin is a poisonous snake. You may not have a chance to spot him before he attacks, but when you find out that he has started attacking, he may have bitten him and injected venom into you.
After returning to the office, Durin immediately called Haight and asked him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on Martin, to make sure that this guy was monitored, to see who he contacted, to list all the information of the people he contacted, and to arrest people according to the list if needed.
To deal with such a little person, according to Durin's previous practice, the easiest thing is to make him disappear and directly eliminate this bane physically. But it's a bit inappropriate to do that now, especially since Martin is against Durin in front of so many people, and if he disappears, the people behind him will definitely make a fuss about his death. So Martin can't die for a short time, and when the turmoil has passed for a while, he will find another opportunity to send this guy to God.
After signing a few papers, Durin locked the office door from the inside, sat in his chair and thought for a while, then picked up the phone and dialed Kevin's number. He needs Kevin's help for next week's hearing, this guy is a vampire, but he is indeed very capable, and most importantly, he has a lot of connections in the imperial capital, far deeper than Doolin.
Hearing Du Lin's voice, Kevin was also very happy, which means that he has another large amount of income, this guy is born to be a devil who eats money, as long as he is fed, he is willing to do everything, and he can do it.
"I've heard you're going to a hearing next week, so I've prepared some materials in advance. Before Durin could speak, Kevin said what Durin wanted to ask. He has many informants and acquaintances in the judicial department, after all, the profession of lawyer is inherently related to the law. Sometimes he's the devil's spokesman, and sometimes he doesn't mind being the embodiment of justice, provided the employer has enough money to hire him.
Anyone who can afford Kevin certainly doesn't mind spending some money on him lobbying some key people, so this guy uses his employer's money to build a network of relationships for himself, which is a slut in Durin's words.
Kevin's words choked the words that Du Lin was about to say in his throat, he snorted, and then reluctantly asked, "How much are you going to charge me?" Hell, I helped you clean up Amp last time, and you have to give me a discount." โ
"200,000, this is the friendship price, you have to know how much I am worth now, there are 3,000 yuan in a conversation, and I have to take at least 15% of the cases I represent!", Kevin's voice was full of cheerful emotions, I have to say that after winning Amp, his value skyrocketed again, and even the law firm now has to respect his opinion. He has gone from being a partner to being a shareholder of a law firm and is also a member of the board of directors.
Some time ago, Kevin helped a rich man fight a divorce lawsuit, which involved the controversial distribution of seven million funds, and finally he helped the bad rich man win the lawsuit with shameless and despicable means, so that his original wife was almost out of the house. For this reason, the rich man had to pay him one hundred and fifty thousand expenses in addition to his normal expenses. And this is also the reason why the poor are most afraid of lawsuits, and why the rich have to fight lawsuits whenever something happens.
The phrase "tell you that you can't even wear pants" is not an exaggeration, but a reality.
For example, a rich man sued a poor man for defamation, causing damage to his reputation, causing a successful business to fail, and demanding $1 million in damages. The court accepted the case, so the poor now have only two options, hire a good lawyer to win the case, he doesn't have to pay the rich man a penny, but he has to pay the lawyer's fee.
According to the different levels of lawyers' fees, from 3% to 15% like Kevin, that is to say, even if he wins the lawsuit, he must at least pay 30,000 yuan to pay the lawyer's fees for winning the lawsuit for him, otherwise the lawyer will take him to court and accuse him of breach of contract.
If a poor man does not hire a lawyer to have a defense lawyer in court, he may lose the case and pay a large amount of compensation to the judge based on the evidence submitted by the rich man, and then face financial sanctions because he cannot afford to pay the compensation.
Therefore, in this society, don't offend the rich, don't offend the lawyer, otherwise you will really ruin your family if you are not careful.
After hearing Kevin's offer, Du Lin agreed angrily, 200,000 is just a drizzle for him now, and it can't make him feel pain yet, "What can I do to impress those people at the hearing?"
