The news that Otis was going to be "listed" spread far and wide, and many businessmen who had invested in Otis City suddenly became as excited as the first night of their lives, and they couldn't sleep all night. The benefits of listing do not need to be repeated, the ultimate goal of every businessman is to go public. Going public can take a lot of cash, and this cash can choose to develop the current company, or develop another company that is not listed.

This is not a great secret in the capital market, but in any case, as long as it is listed, it means getting rich.

Some people are very excited, but some people are very frustrated.

The merchants in the city of Otis established a city-centered Otis Chamber of Commerce under the formation of Dulin, and at the beginning of the establishment of this Chamber of Commerce, Dohrin made a rule, that is, those who join the Otis Chamber of Commerce are not allowed to join the Imperial General Chamber of Commerce, and must choose between the two. At that time, Durin did not have any movement to package Otis City for listing, and there were not too many restrictions on these non-Otis Chamber of Commerce merchants.

They can also invest in Otis City, and they can enjoy the policy tilt here, and it can be said that the only difference is that when the competition between the two sides is almost the same, Durin, or Otis City Hall, will obviously favor the businessmen of the Otis Chamber of Commerce.

Some businessmen didn't really care about this, since they dared to compete, they weren't afraid to pay for it, and Durin's approach seriously challenged the majesty of the Chamber of Commerce. The Speaker of the Chamber of Commerce has already made it clear that if their competition in Otis City lags behind those merchants who have left the Chamber of Commerce and lags behind the merchants of the Otis Chamber of Commerce, then the Chamber of Commerce will give them some financial assistance.

With such confidence, there are still some people who stick to their position and do not fall to Duhring.

However, now they regret it, because this capital game that represents the future does not have their share, and they can't even guess whether Durin's head is a genius or a madman, so that there is such an absurd and bizarre idea as packaging a city to go public, but many people still believe that Dulin can do it.

Heidler's villa was now crowded with merchants, all of whom were staunch supporters of the Chamber of Commerce, but the expressions on their faces were not as happy as they had been when they had not heard the news during the day.

Heidler sat in an easy chair with a blanket on his lap, and the fire in the fireplace made him so comfortable that he wanted to sleep.

Fighting with Doolin?

That's just a stupid and naïve idea, Nam Lindes, the mayor who controlled the city for decades, died at the hands of Doolin, why should he, a member of the Chamber of Commerce who has not much real power, fight with Doolin?

Do you look stupid?

But he still wanted to live a few more years.

If it weren't for this group of people running over to him to discuss how to deal with it, he wouldn't have bothered to meet with this group of people.

"Honorable Councillor Heideler, you can think of a way, it is unfair to us for Durin to do this!", the person who spoke was in his thirties, dressed in leather shoes, with shiny hair, he was wearing a white shirt and a coffee-colored horse clip, waving his arms and expressing his opinion with some excitement, "We have also invested a lot of money in the construction of Otis City, and have contributed to the prosperity of Otis City today. ”

"Now that the season of success has come, he has no right to expel us from this circle, and we should have the same rights!

This guy is called Pucci, and he runs a ready-to-wear store, and the business is not bad...... It should be said that it is quite good, at least much more than he earned when he was in Nam Lindes. He is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, which is still very attractive to businessmen, in addition to the fact that internal information is always faster than outside, and there are also many business activities and experience exchanges. The Chamber of Commerce is like a professional merchant school, constantly cultivating qualified and outstanding businessmen.

Only when every member has become a successful person can the Chamber of Commerce have enough capital to confront the cabinet and refuse to be co-opted by the imperial authorities.

Locally, Phusi is also a very active person, and often the members who are still in the capital base stage are very active, but the real big capitalists, such as parliamentarians, rarely express any opinions. It's not that they can't keep up with the times, but they know how to be in awe, and understand that sometimes some things are not all settled with money, and there are some things that cannot be settled with money.

Heidler opened his eyes and glanced at Pusey, he smiled, pulled the blanket a little higher, and plucked the wood with tongs in his hand, and the flame became a little stronger.

"See the firewood?", Heideler asked pointedly, and before the others could react, he picked up a new piece of wood and threw it in, "I put a new piece of firewood, but as you can see, the flame has not diminished much because one of the firewood has not burned, it is still burning brightly. And this is the same situation as we are now, the city of Otis itself is very well planned, and it is a mature and excellent idea that is rare in recent years. ”

"Forgive me for saying something you don't like to hear, with more of you, or without you, it won't change the city. So why should the flames accommodate you in such a situation?"

"I know why you're here, after all, this is the most visited guest since I've been here. Heidler put the tongs back on the shelf on the side, and he lifted the blanket and stood up, taking a few steps back and forth, all eyes focused on him.

"Actually, from the very beginning, we were giving up the ...... of Otis City", Heideler said this sentence as the people around him took a breath of cool air, and the branch of the General Chamber of Commerce was placed in the city of Otis, they thought that the General Chamber of Commerce valued the city very much, and even gave them the promise of financial assistance. But at this second, they learned that the General Chamber of Commerce had given up Otis City, and as for why the branch did not move here, it was mainly for the sake of face.

Some time ago, there were some members of the Chamber of Commerce who thought they could wrestle with Doolin, perhaps not politically capable of using fear to gain obedience like the gangsters. But they have money, and sometimes money can change some people's opinions and positions, and that's what they're best at. They initially intended to use the strike as a means to force Dührin to make a compromise – the same tactics of the workers' unions, as did the capitalists.

When the time comes, there will be a large number of workers on strike, and the city's economy will come to a standstill, and if Durin doesn't want to see his city go on like this, he will definitely make a compromise. But what people didn't expect was that Dühring first expelled the workers' union, and then completely replaced the manufacturing industry with the service industry, and used his own people in some of the pillar industries. This made the Chamber of Commerce sad, if they let their members go on strike, then they would lose only themselves, and it would not affect the operations of the City of Otis.

Coupled with the subsequent attack on Namirinders, those people gradually extinguished their desire to fight with Durin, and it was terrible to start a commercial war with such a person who would flip the table at every turn. The past of the aristocracy massacring merchants by a decree is not yet a thing of the past, it happened decades ago. So they cautiously chose to give up the interests of Otis City, but in order to take care of their own face, they didn't move the club out of here, they needed a chance, an excuse, to let themselves leave with dignity.

Pusey asked with some disappointment, "Then there is no way to do it?", he was a little depressed, in the face of such a rare opportunity, they couldn't even get a penny of benefits, not to mention how uncomfortable it felt. The disappointment on his face grew, "What if we go and protest?"

Heidler just smiled and didn't speak, and when he saw how powerful Durin was, he asked people to inquire about what had happened to Durin after he left Turner, and some of the merchants from Illion told some "anecdotes". For example, Dulin hired only Gualts for his workers in Illion, which caused the local provincial people to resent, and tried to force Dulin to nod their heads by marching, but on the eve of the procession, all the leaders returned to God's arms.

In that case, someone came out and turned himself in, and eventually committed suicide in the police station, but Heideler believed that it had something to do with Doolin. When he was at Turnier, Durin dared to challenge Wood with nothing and also won, this guy not only has a keen sense of smell, but also has crazy guts.

Messing with this guy won't have anything to gain except for making trouble for yourself, if you want to die, it's right to trouble Doolin, it's obviously easier than committing suicide and being killed by Doolin.

Heidler's sympathetic and caring gaze at the mentally handicapped made Pucci a little uncomfortable, and he knew that he might have said something stupid, and at the same time remembered the "turmoil" that had happened not long ago, and finally closed his mouth sensibly.

Heideler walked to the bar and opened a bottle of wine for himself, "Gentlemen, are you making more money here than before?", everyone nodded, in just over two months, they have made more money than they have earned in the past six months, Heideler took a sip of his glass, "Then what are you not satisfied with? We are businessmen, we only make what we can earn, why use the money we can't make to embarrass ourselves?"

Without Heidler's support, these merchants quickly took their leave, but what they would have thought in their hearts was not enough for outsiders.

However, one thing is clear to Heidler, after this evening, there will be many people who will withdraw from the meeting.

But this has nothing to do with him, he is just a "commodity" put on the table by some people, whether he does it well or not, it is not his responsibility in the end.
