With the arrival of autumn, the north has begun to cool down, and as the city of Otis is located close to the south, the workers on the construction site are still sweating, but they no longer need iced tea to help them relieve the heat. On the contrary, whenever a gust of wind blows, it will also make them feel a chill to the bone.

Two gentlemen in suits and leather shoes walked out of the station, their meticulous hair reflecting the rays of the sun like diamonds, and after waiting for a moment, a car stopped in front of them.

"The sand is too windy in this place. One of them, who thought he was in his forties, complained, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off his shoes, then shook the window open and threw the handkerchief through the crack. It was a high-end handkerchief worth five dollars, but it was just a worthless consumable item for someone as distinguished as him.

His name was Solo Pande Kumir Saint Capet, and after removing his grandfather and past domains and the surname that represented the theocracy, he could be named Mr. Solo Capet. As one of the leading members of the Song family's generation, he was sent to the city of Otis to fight for a full gambling card from Doolin. Sometimes the world is just so funny, whether it's as a former clergyman, or as a later aristocrat, or now a consortium.

They are supposed to be more socially responsible than others and lead people to be positive, but they are the first to stand up and get their hands on the cards. There is no doubt that this family, which even has the word "holy" in its surname, wants to run the devil's business in this new era.

There are a total of three heirs in this generation of the Song family, and there are many other brothers and sisters, who need to compete for the thirteen percent stake in the hands of the head of the family, so the three elites in their thirties and forties have been running outside. This time, Solo was able to seize the opportunity to get Doolin's consent, and it was his uncle who helped.

There are so many bullshit things in the big family that it is unacceptable, and even the most bizarre and absurd legends cannot be depicted two or three times out of ten. His uncle was his father's younger brother and at the same time his mother's cousin. In order for the power of the family not to be lost, and in order to ensure that the power of the family is always in the hands of the family, all of them must marry close relatives. Want to marry someone outside?

Yes, but it's not a marriage, it's a business.

Exchange the power of each other's families, or leave the house.

There is no third way to go.

If Solo can become the next head of the family, he can get 13% of the equity in the hands of the head of the family, plus about 19% of him and his parents, he is already the most powerful in the family!

The premise is that he must complete every task, including getting the gambling cards that are very important to the family.

The empire opened a gambling ban, which made many people with a keen sense of smell immediately realize that a profit storm was coming. Even if you pay a high special tax, you will leave a staggering profit. In the past, the Song Family always pursued endless power, but in this new era, they are pursuing supreme profits.

In this day and age, what politicians can enjoy, they can enjoy. What politicians can't enjoy, they can enjoy, provided they have to have money, a lot of money.

Chenesolo's secretary, a "young man" in his early thirties, flipped through the folder in his hand, "Now there are a total of sixty-nine construction sites and twelve buildings that have just been completed in Otis City, and we estimate that by the beginning of next year to the middle of the year, more than one hundred and fifty new buildings will be built in Otis City, and it will be far more prosperous than the imperial capital in three years." So not only is the wind and sand very big now, but the wind and sand will not be too small in two years. ”

"Why don't we help the agent fight for the mayor's position here?", he was a little curious when he heard the moving answer from the secretary next to him. If the city of Otis has such great potential, then it is entirely possible to push a political agent to become the mayor of the city of Otis and then indirectly control the city. The city that is swallowed by them will not spit out again.

The secretary knew that Solo didn't know much about things here, so he patiently explained that this was exactly his job, "Durin got a special zone sign from Maggs, and many people are paying attention to the situation here. Maggs was using this as a policy testing ground, and he was experimenting with Durin and the people here, so we couldn't get involved in the transfer of personnel in Otis in any other way. ”

"Unless Maggs steps down and is replaced by a prime minister with whom we have worked with us, we will have a chance to put people here. ”

He smiled, "We can't send our people over, but we can try to get in touch with the next mayor, and maybe he'll be happy to join us." ”

"Has the next one been elected?", Solo didn't seem to be surprised by the secretary's words at all, in fact, everyone already knew that in addition to the general election, the appointments at other times were only appointments, not elections, so it was an accident that Durin's successor had not been selected, "Who is it?

"It's a little nobleman named Donald, he doesn't have a backstage, but he has a good background, he has done dirty work for the royal family, and he has enough identification with the aristocratic class, and I believe that with the right approach, we will have a pleasant meeting. ”

As he spoke, the car had slowly stopped outside the city hall, and after the driver parked the car, the secretary immediately pushed the door out, went around to the other side to open the door for Solo, and stretched out his hand for Solo to borrow a little force.

"The pillars are good, I love them. He raised his head as he straightened out his makeup, "It would be better if they could be pressed with a layer of gold leaf on their surface, it would be more magnificent." ”

Solo's ancestors were clergy, and clergy always liked something opulent. The secretary only smiled approvingly, and did not continue.

The two entered the town hall and checked in with the doorman, and were led by a young man to the outside of Dorin's office.

At this time, Du Lin was thinking about the composition of power in the casino, no one of the big forces could be less, no one of the small forces could have one, only the big forces were entangled with each other to play a role, even if Mags came, there was no way to do it. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, he stretched out his hand and gestured, and the knock sounded again, and he slapped the door on the head, and Dove was "kicked out" by him to find the press officer.

He left his seat and opened the door, and saw two gentlemen whom he had never seen, and although he had not seen these two men, Dohrin knew that these two men were either rich or noble. None of the clothes they wore and the jewelry they wore were bargains, and those who could wear tens of thousands of yuan on their bodies had at least millions or even tens of millions.

"Hello, Mr. Doolin, I'm Erness, this is Mr. Solo, Solo Capet, and I'm his secretary. Ones couldn't help but raise his jaw at the mention of the surname Capet, which has great prestige within the Empire. Aside from those nobles and nobles who have a much longer family history than the Song family, the surname is definitely respectable.

"Hello, Mr. Solo. Durin smiled and held out his hand, "I just noticed the documents you submitted, I didn't expect you to come so quickly, please come in!", he stepped out of the way to welcome the two in, and got them a little coffee - the rest of the morning was reheated.

Solo and Ernes thanked them and sat down again, and Durin sat across from them, the new mayor's office was much more luxurious than before, the furniture inside was also very luxurious, and the city hall was not short of money.

"We've been in contact with your secretary, but it looks like the lady has left her job?", Ernes explained the reason for their sudden visit, after all, it was rude to come to the door without saying hello to Durin. Ordinary people may not care about this, but aristocrats like them care very much about etiquette and etiquette, "Our trip has been booked beforehand, so I am very presumptuous to visit you today, because we are leaving in the evening." ”

Du Lin waved his hand, "You're welcome, I'm not a palace here, you can come anytime and anywhere." ”

Solo didn't say a word the whole time like a sculpture, and it wasn't time for him to speak, the current communication was done by Erness, and when they agreed on an opinion, Solo would speak.

"Mr. Doolin, we're all short on time, so I'll tell you the truth. If not, we hope to get this result as soon as possible, after all, we are very busy and you have a lot to deal with. Ernes Elian's sincere expression seemed to be thinking for Durin, but there was a kind of arrogance in his eyes.

It's your honor that the Song Consortium has taken a fancy to your business, and pretending to be reserved will not elevate your status.

Durin smiled apologetically, "You mean gambling cards?", Ernes nodded, but Durin shook his head, "I'm very sorry, I can't agree to your request." ”

"Why?", Ernes reacted very quickly, "Why can't you agree?As one of the most powerful consortia in the north, the Song Consortium can play a very positive role in the entire Otis City by entering Otis City, and more consortiums and capital will follow our footsteps to come here and make the city more prosperous." ”

Durin didn't contradict him, and when he finished speaking, he smiled and said, "But this will break my rules." ”
