At this time, Edgar felt like he was standing in front of a big mountain, he was a small rock, Durin was that big mountain, he really didn't have anything that Durin could look at, and any stone that rolled down from the mountain would be bigger and heavier than him.

Look at the people, they also started from smuggling, not only have a huge net worth, but also mixed into the ranks of the new party and became the mayor of Otis City. Although the mayor of the city is not very valuable, it is the title that is valuable. He believes that as long as Durin is willing to spend money to run it, it is very likely that he will be directly transferred to another place to continue as mayor, and he may even enter the internal organs of the New Party!

As for him, Edgar, has been engaged in the smuggling industry for more than ten years, and has indeed gained a little fame over the years, and has raised thirty or forty people under his hands, and usually thinks that he is a good mix, but sitting opposite this one, he suddenly has the illusion that he is living all his age to a dog. At this moment, there was really a trace of jealousy in his heart, not what he pretended to show, it was real jealousy.

Edgar, who had always called himself a "businessman", suddenly found very sad that he had what he could get his hands on, as if Durin had it, and more than himself, better!

Whether it is a businessman or a politician, in essence, the premise of "transaction" is "delivery", that is, something can be obtained, and only then consider "easy" things. He didn't have anything to get his hands on, and he didn't want to miss this opportunity for Durin to speak, which was really embarrassing.

He couldn't think of anything he could come up with for Doolin to do something, and just when he couldn't think of anything that could impress Doolin and was about to despair, he glanced up at the overly young mayor. He suddenly noticed that Durin didn't seem to be expecting anything from him at all, perhaps because he knew he couldn't come up with anything tempting.

The smugglers are all quick-witted people, and Edgar immediately discarded his idea of taking an idea, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Doolin, what do you want from me?"

He quickly collected his mood, and quietly kicked the ball to Durin on the surface, he felt that if Durin could offer this condition, he must have taken a fancy to some aspect or something of himself, otherwise he would not have made such an offer.

It's only when you want something that you think about how to get it.

Durin didn't hide his secrets, he stood up at the same time Edgar also stood up, the two walked to the window one after the other, Durin pushed open the window and pointed to the lifeless city outside and said: "Build something here, I don't care if it's a high-rise building, or an entertainment venue, build a little something, invest in a little project, and in the future, your goods will go from me, and I will give you 20% of the levy." ”

"As long as I don't leave here, I promise that this promise will not change. If one day I leave, I'm sure that at that time the city will not allow the successor to casually break the rules of the game that we all have made together!"

Edgar looked out the window at the dilapidated city, gasped, his scalp was slightly numb, and there was a layer of goosebumps on his body! What is different is not ambition and goal, but mind and vision! While he was still thinking about how to reduce the special tax by 50 percent, Dühring had already considered formulating a game rule here that did not belong to any party or political force!

There is no doubt that as soon as he walks out of the town hall today, there will be rumors of tax cuts outside, which will attract more people to come here, and bow their heads in front of Durin, obey his will and uphold his rules of the game, and build this place into a private kingdom of his own! When the interests of all are aligned, Durin will become the king without a crown, and his will is the will of the city, and the will of all the forces!

Yes, that's why Edgar's scalp is tingling. He was still looking at that little bit of money and admired it carefully, and what made him quickly extinguish even the slightest jealousy that had just risen was that Durin was too young! He still had at least fifty years to crisscross the stage of the empire, and the devil knows what he would become in fifty years, maybe he would be planted headlong in the middle of the way and become a dry bone for others to step on.

However, it is also possible to walk smoothly and risk-free to the pinnacle of life and let the whole world bow down!

And as Durin said, once there are traces of large and small forces in every inch of the city, all the forces in the entire city have the same voice. No one can change any of the rules here except the king who built the city. Because whoever wants to change any rule, even if it's just a small change, can cause a whole series of big problems, even against the whole city.

Edgar believes that there will be no "good people" here, and if anyone dares to challenge the bottom line of these bad people, then the end will definitely be miserable!

He came back to his senses from the amazement, the decaying and dilapidated city had become different in his eyes, and he realized that this was a good opportunity, both to befriend Durin and to invest and profit here, which was an excellent thing. This time, he didn't even hesitate, and immediately made a decision!

"Thank you very much, Mr. Doolin, for giving me such an opportunity, I don't know much about other things, but warehouses and bars...... I'd like to start construction right away if I could!", Edgar was very optimistic about Doolin and the future development of the city, but he didn't blindly take care of it, he knew what kind of material he was, especially after comparing it with Doolin.

He is not good at doing those unfamiliar businesses, and he doesn't even know about them, but he knows how to do things that he is familiar with!

Du Lin didn't refuse him, nodded in agreement, and stretched out his hand, "Then we have decided that as long as your bar and warehouse start to be built and built, your goods will only go from here for 20% commercial tax!"

Edgar also shook hands with Durin tightly, "I will gather people immediately, please rest assured!", Edgar was full of energy at this time, maybe because of his wise moves, he would change his future in the future!

Next, it was Dohrin who taught Edgar the trick on how to remove moonshine from the list of special taxes.

In fact, Dührin registered many patents and discoveries after arriving at Ilian. For example, after a while, a scientist in the imperial capital will discover that when the concentration of alcohol exceeds a certain limit, it can produce an excellent sterilization of bacteria in the test sample, and use this kind of thing that he calls a high degree of alcohol in clinical practice, and make a further major discovery. At the same time, another lucky guy discovers how to refine the hidden alcohol in the drink to the level of medicine.

Under the influence of media opinion, alcohol will become a magical thing that can work almost anywhere. With new discoveries and news coming out all the time, people will realize the important role that alcohol plays in life, in medicine, and even in industry!

At the same time, the production cost and price of cheap alcohol are far cheaper than those that are now being used, easier to produce, and more popular! Under the many good news, plus some operations by Du Lin, there will be new news coming out from the imperial capital.

For example, alcohol is not a beverage, but a medical and industrial necessity, which is something closely related to people's lives, so naturally no special tax can be levied, but the levy should be lowered, and this is the reason and confidence why Durin dared to promise Edgar! After the car door was closed, there was a complete set of documents and tax payment certificates, who dared to say that the bottle contained wine instead of alcohol?

With patents in his hands, "methods", and a series of patent barriers, and the power to "enforce the law", anyone who wants to set foot in this area without permission is doomed to pay a heavy price. If you don't want to offend Doolin and don't want to pay for it, it's very simple, buy a license from Doolin!

He can't be a tycoon in the theater field, but it may not be difficult to be a tycoon in the wine industry.

Edgar left confidently, and soon word spread in Namilndus that there was a special way to get the wine out of the city at a lower tax.

This news was not spread by Doolin, but Edgar took the initiative to help Doolin do it, since he felt that he could get more practical benefits by clinging to Doolin's side, then why not just be thorough? A twist and a pinch, in the end, maybe you can't please others, but will offend people.

Before this, many people were still waiting, one is to determine whether the line of Otis is really reliable. If something goes wrong, it's not a fraction of what is lost. Second, I also feel that the 50 percent special tax is too painful to cut, and more than half of the income is lost all of a sudden, so that even if some people think that this is a good route, they are not very willing to take it.

Everyone knows that it is easier and more labor-saving to ride a steam locomotive than to walk by yourself, but not everyone can afford it, or is willing to pay for it.

But after the news spread among the smugglers, more people went to Otis to find out.

Among the many people who inquired about the news, there was also a special big man!
