Chapter 324 Meeting [3] is "Autumn Cherry Blossoms" plus [9] more
"Mr. Doolin, the things you want have been prepared, when will they be delivered?", the front office manager of the hotel said softly, even though there was a long telephone line between the two, and she was slightly bent over at this time. Doolin's name in Illian is so loud that you don't know what the mayor's name is, but you must know who lives on the cliffs. Someone jokingly said that if he offended Durin, he might end up jumping off the building.
There are a lot of good-natured or malicious jokes outside, and they are indifferent to Lin about it, and their movements are nothing more than venting the depression in their hearts, which he can understand and accept. If he had to kill everyone who had said bad things about him, it would be a huge number.
Yes, Durin is so generous!
It had been half a year since Juan's death, during which Durin had devoted himself to selling his wine throughout the empire, and today was the time for him to reap the fruits of victory.
He instructed the hotel's front office manager, and then arranged for Dove to pick up people later, and the hotel's chef would come over later, and he would send two truckloads of ingredients.
Today is Tuesday, June 13th, and the weather is fine, not a holiday of any empire, nor a holiday in Illion, nor is it Doolin's birthday, or the birthday of those close to him. Today is an ordinary day, but today will not be so ordinary. Many ordinary people may never know what happened today, but those who are qualified to know what is about to happen today will remember this day firmly.
June 13th!
It didn't take long for Durin to hear footsteps, and he immediately got up from the couch and greeted him. He thought that Budi was the first to come here, but what he didn't expect was that the first person to come here was Sophia.
At this time, Sophia and Sophia half a year ago are completely two people, although she has a unique temperament half a year ago, but the clothes she wears have patches, not to mention, they don't add up to more than ten yuan from top to bottom. But at this moment, no one standing here could easily recognize this Sophia at a glance, the woman in Montel who had taken her husband's pension to help others.
Her hair is coiled up high, and her hair quality is very good, and she knows that she is regularly maintained at a glance. There are also a few trinkets in the hair, each worth hundreds or even thousands. She wore a black floor-length dress today, a palm-wide jeweled necklace around her neck, and jewels on her wrists and fingers were worth a lot. After being carefully dressed up, she is said to be a certain nobleman, and I am afraid that people will believe it.
She laughed the moment she saw Durin, although she was old, her smile was full of a special charm, even the wrinkles on her face because of the smile gave people a very kind feeling. The brilliance of motherhood and the beauty of intellect are perfectly integrated, and she is full of peace and love like a mother in a large family.
"Thank you very much for coming here, did the journey go well?", Durin walked up to Sophia's side, picked up the first and second joints of her fingers, and led her into the house like a gentleman.
Sophia said with a smile, "It's a bit uncomfortable to walk that far for the first time, but overall it's okay, the yacht you introduced is very good, much more comfortable than taking a passenger ferry!"
In half a year, Sophia, who used to care about every penny, bought a yacht close to 60,000 yuan without blinking an eye. This price is a little worse than the yachts that the real rich use for pleasure, but it is definitely not the worst, it belongs to the middle grade. In half a year, Sophia ran the moonshine market in Montel very well, and even Dulin often told others that he didn't know how to do it, so he went to Montel to ask Sophia for advice, and it was time to learn from him.
She was given a new and formidable name in Montel Sofia, who called her "Black Widow", and more than 100 people died at her instigation, and she took 60 percent of the entire moonshine market in Montel. If it weren't for the fact that eating it all would trigger a backlash from local capital, perhaps Montel would have sold only one brand of wine a long time ago. Now Sophia has a strong capital, and the local celebrities and wealthy people in Montel will also invite her to participate in various activities.
Durin was about to talk to Sophia about his next plans, when a hearty laugh rang out outside the door, and Durin got up to confess and greeted him again.
Budi came with his son, and the old man's arm was completely cured, and now he was holding it in place with something like a sleeve. Without this thing, his forearm will "bend" down the middle. Of course, in addition to the bone problem, there are also some minor problems with the palm and fingers, but overall there is no big problem.
After he saw Durin, he took a few big steps, hugged Dulin vigorously, and then introduced the kid next to him, "This is my son, take him to see the world this time." Budi's son, who looked sixteen or seventeen years old, had a little pockmarked on his face, and after looking at Du Lin with a look full of surprise for a while, he had to bend down slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Budi slapped him on the back of the head, and there was a hint of anger on his face, and the little guy didn't dare to disobey his father's order, so he could only bow deeply.
Durin waved his hand, smiled and said okay, and walked into the house with Budi. There is no doubt that people change, and they don't care much about how these people change, good or bad, they choose for themselves. But there is one bottom line that cannot be touched, and that is Doolin's interests, as well as his ideas and plans. Glancing at Budi beside him again, it was hard for Durin to imagine that this guy had actually begun to cultivate his "successor", maybe in the face of huge interests, everyone would change!
Entering the house, Sophia had already greeted Budi with a smile, Willis had about three days by sea from Montel, strictly speaking, with the transportation capacity of this world, it was already very close, and they had communicated with each other, and they knew each other.
Before he could say a word, Dove ran to inform him that someone else had arrived, and Durin had to get up and leave again.
This time, he gathered all his "agents" together, nominally a meeting between wholesalers and agents, but in fact it was a formulation of the rules of the game and the division of interests. Duhrin always believed that no matter how good the ideal is, it is impossible to unite everyone, and there must be interests as a bridge to be able to firmly link all parties together and form a community of interests.
Whether it is an enemy from the inside or from the outside, it will become the enemy of this whole!
"He's so busy!", just as Durin was entertaining agents from all over the world, on the beach under the sea cliffs, two guys wearing short-sleeved shirts and beach pants and expedition hats were secretly observing the situation outside the Dilin Manor with binoculars. This is just one of the points, in fact, there are at least six groups of people monitoring Durin's manor in different places at this time, and recording all the information.
As Doolin's business grew to the point where his liquor was available in most parts of the empire, he was able to attract the attention of the Contraband Bureau. At the same time, his "agents" dominated the bootlegging market through fierce and violent means, and the resulting riots and consequences also attracted the attention of the ruling party of the empire. In addition, many gangs absorb funds from the society through various means to strengthen themselves, and the top management has felt that the deterrent power of the local police department is completely insufficient to fight against these inflated gangs, so they have established a new department - the Bright Star Empire Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau, the branch is only at the state level, vertically managed, and not subject to the orders of the state government.
The purpose is to monitor, control, and apprehend gang members in criminal incidents involving gangs, as well as to interfere with possible criminal acts. To a certain extent, the terms of reference of the newly established Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau overlapped with those of the police, but it had greater powers, reporting directly to the Imperial Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court, and had a fairly high level of law enforcement powers.
After the newly created director of the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau took office, he came up with three targets, of which the first in the sequence was Durin.
Although there is no evidence so far that Dührin planned and formed a large, well-organized criminal gang, his actions and those of his "agents" met the criteria of "organized crime" under imperial law. The new director has publicly stated that he must obtain enough evidence within three years to send at least one of the three targets to the gallows.
As for whether it can be done...... I'm talking about it three years later.
When the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau was established, Kevin had already communicated with Dulin, so the Supreme Court of the Empire and the Ministry of Justice also revised and added a total of 37 legal provisions to assist the work of the Anti-Organized Crime Investigation Bureau. He asked Du Lin to be careful and try not to mess around at this time, after all, when the new director comes to power, he always has to give him a little face.
Durin took this to heart, but he was not very nervous, because in the strict sense of the word, he had nothing to do with crime, he was just a businessman!
Yachts kept docking, and big names from other cities continued to appear outside Doolin's estate, and from the first place to the present, there were fifty-three people.
These fifty-three people represent the agents of fifty-three places, and there are only more than two hundred cities in the entire empire, including those small cities with only a few tens of thousands of people. These agents under Doolin have almost wiped out all the bustling cities.
By the time the last guest entered Doolin's estate, off the beach, more than thirty yachts of various types had been parked.
