"I love this city!"

Durin stood on the edge of the cliff and watched the waves crash against the cliff one after another, and some of the splashes and mist would be lifted high under the wind of the sea, and then slowly fall and fall on Durin's face. This feeling is particularly pleasant in the middle of summer, and the whole person's body and mind are washed away. He looked at the horizon in the distance and the dozen or so ships near and far on the horizon, and took a deep breath of the salty sea breeze.

This city is different from Turnier, and different from all the cities of Canleth, it is controlled by the New Party from top to bottom, from the inside out, these people are more flexible in governance, and their concern is definitely not "who is disobedient", but "how to build the city better". Perhaps it is precisely because of this that people accept that the new party will be in power much faster than the old party predicted, and that they care too much about their power and too much about politics.

Here, money is the only eternal truth.

Doolin couldn't get his hands and feet into the police station, but Scott could, and the mayor could. Strictly speaking, it was a real murder, with Durin providing the script and the execution plan, Scott centering it, and the mayor finishing it all. If it weren't for Kurt and the Mayor, would the police officers in those police stations really be able to pretend that they didn't know what was going on to make an important prisoner "hang" himself?

Do they really not know that the guy was strangled and hung up?

Of course they know, that's what they're doing, so how could they not know? But there is the mayor's opinion that the case should be closed as soon as possible and no more accidents should be made, so these policemen also played the role of each of them strictly according to the script. It doesn't matter if those who leave this world are innocent or not, because the value of the individual has long been diminished to the extreme under the general trend of the whole city.

This cooperation between Doolin and the City Hall can reflect this, and Doolin is also very clear that his tacit understanding with the City Hall is only for this one thing.

But if there is one, there will be two, there will be three, there will be more, and this Doolin is not worried at all.

Scott was standing behind Durin at this time, and he didn't like such a strong sea breeze blowing at such a high place, but Durin liked it, so he had to stay here. Hearing what Durin said, Scott had a lot of smiles on his face, "I also like this city, it is quiet and beautiful, I have been to many other cities, but I can never find any city like Ilian, this is the only one in the empire, and the only one in the world!"

"You're right, this is the only place in this world!", Durin turned and walked towards the house, Scott followed, "I love it here, so I'm going to settle here, you know? I've also invested in a company, the largest cinema company in Illion." As the two walked, Durin gave Scott a vaccination, "They want to raise 200,000 yuan to upgrade the equipment in the theater, which can play color." When I heard about "Illian Holiday," I was going to shoot it with color camera equipment and then play it out with color equipment. ”

Scott thought for a moment before remembering what the "biggest" theater company Doolin was talking about, but he frowned a little and looked at Dulin to stop talking. Du Lin made a gesture of please with some curiosity, and he said the words in his stomach, "You're talking about East Coast Entertainment, right? ”

"In fact, three months ago, someone began to prepare for the construction of a new cinema chain, they won 12 plots of land in the early stage, and they plan to acquire another 12 plots of land in the later stage, and the city hall has already approved it. ”

Is it reasonable that the whole of Ilian has a permanent population of 8 million and only 16 cinemas? Obviously, it is unreasonable, and no one may have been aware of this problem before, but as the preparations for the construction of the 8th arrondissement have begun, foreign capital has discovered this irrational phenomenon. Assuming that 100,000 people need one cinema, Ilian should have at least 80 cinemas.

If this number is too exaggerated, and a discount is made from it, there will be forty cinemas. Once the Eighth District is completed, Illion will become a star-studded place for the entire empire, and it will become a mecca for film practitioners. Under this appeal, it will also become a test city for whether a film can succeed. That's why foreign capital has taken a fancy to this market and plans to build 24 movie theaters, adding up to 40 movie theaters with the 16 East Coast Entertainment stores before.

When Durin first heard about this, he suddenly stopped, "Why haven't I seen this news in the newspaper?"

Scott also paused, and he explained a little awkwardly, "These projects are all tied to the Eighth District, so you know, we don't plan to reveal it until we get started. There are also a few places that are actually suitable for such movie cities, and in order to avoid them preempting the implementation of things before us, many things are still in the stage of secrecy. ”

"You mean the 200,000 I invested was lost?", Durin didn't know what to say, he also had the ambition to spread the theater all over Illian and then expand outward, but waited for Scott's late signal, which made him have a very funny feeling that someone was cutting off his beard!

Scott could only smile awkwardly, he comforted Dulin, and said: "Actually, you can sell your shares to the new tycoon, he is actually very interested in East Coast entertainment, and he should be able to sell it at a good price." ”

"Who's that guy? I'm going to talk to him!", Durin quickly smoothed out his train of thought, since he couldn't be the biggest, then he would cooperate. He incorporated East Coast Entertainment into the new company as his own capital and became a shareholder of the new cinema chain, which means that he controls the cinema chain.

Scott showed an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... for the time being", he suddenly noticed that Durin's gaze at him was a little indescribable, like the eyes of those wolves seen in a hunting ground, cruel and ruthless, he swallowed the following words back into his stomach, and then took two steps closer and whispered: "Do you know the newspaper tycoon George family in the imperial capital? They plan to expand their business, not only in Illion, but also in other places to build new movie theaters......

Doolin knew that the George family, a bunch of cultured lunatics, had twenty-seven newspapers in their hands, and they had all sorts of amazing headlines to entice readers to buy subscriptions, and they had made them hugely successful. About four or five years ago, the George family's industry was divided into two camps, and the other half published some news that the mainstream society needed in a rigorous and steady manner, whether it was news about politics, financial news, and news about military or people's livelihood. The other half did their best to publish the next three things, often related to crime, cyan and the like, including "Good Morning Empire", which is known as the first lace newspaper of the empire.

This is a very large family, with a deep family heritage, and at the same time it has strong enough influence in politics, but many ordinary people don't know about them, or even don't know about them. Because when you read a newspaper you never think about whose property is the newspaper that printed it, and forty-three percent of the people in the entire empire read the newspapers printed by the George family, but probably only 0.000043 percent of the people know about the George family.

Duhrin was able to know about this family, and he also had something to do with the recent desire to create a media group of his own. He always had to find out who his future opponents were, and among them was John George, a newspaper tycoon.

Thinking that he would not be able to face to face with this bureau before he had yet developed, Durin felt a slight pain. Seeing that he was silent, Scott also breathed a sigh of relief, in case this rich man who took money and didn't make money had to compete with the George family, it would not be a good thing for him, for Illian, or for the George family, because no one can lose, and there is a reason why they must win. It's best if we can cooperate, so that we don't hurt the harmony and everyone can achieve their goals.

After returning to the inside of the manor, Durin lost the interest in continuing to chat, and after passing away Scott, who was smiling wryly and shaking his head, he was lying on the couch a little lazily, why did these damn big guys have to come to this little place to grab things from him?

Durin complained as a passenger ship from the heart of the empire slowly docked in a port not far from him. A grim-faced girl left the liner from the special gangway, guarded by several escorts. The girl looked to be very old, only seventeen, eighteen or nineteen years old, and wore a gray professional uniform with white dots, and a white shirt with the collar turned upside down. She took off her sunglasses, tilted her head to look at the tourists on the beach, and turned to the car that greeted her not far away.

Sitting in the car, the secretary next to her rolled up the window, and said with a serious face: "The president asked you to come here this time, just hoping to have a good mood." Ilian is one of the most prosperous tourist cities in the Empire, and many people consider it to be a must-visit place in their lives, and one of the places where people most want to settle. ”

There was an icy aura in the girl's blue eyes, she just glanced at the secretary, and then withdrew her gaze, "I know, I will do what he asks." ”
