After Collills finished speaking, he looked at Durin quietly, he was waiting for Durin's answer.

After thinking for a while, Durin said, "Fifty years is too long, twenty-five years!"

Colyls didn't feel any unpleasant at all because of Doolin's bargaining over time, he took the initiative to stand up and stretched out his hand, and Doolin also stretched out his hand, "Deal!"

After reaching his intention, Colyls looked very happy, he took out three pieces of paradise from his bosom and gave them to Harry and Durin, and took out a pair of scissors with pure gold handles, cut them open, and then took a breath, the smile on his face seemed to be a little brighter.

One of the things that doesn't hurt about Paradise is that it relaxes after smoking, as if nothing matters and nothing cares. However, it is precisely because of this strange effect of Paradise that some people are willing to buy this thing, and it costs a lot of money.

It was clear that both Harry and Colills were very resistant, and they were not completely paralyzed, and Durin only took a shallow inhale, and then clamped it in his hand and did not continue to put it in his mouth.

"My son's birthday will be celebrated in a while, and you must come when the time comes!", Colills was very satisfied with this cooperation, he got what he needed, and naturally he would not forget what Durin had done in this matter, "I will give you a good thing when the time comes!", this is the so-called "deal".

Colills needed to contact his subordinates immediately to start operating this matter, and left first, and after closing the door, Harry smiled and shook his head, "This is his habit, once the matter is negotiated, he will do it immediately, but twenty-five years ......", Harry lowered his head slightly and thought for a moment, "It's a little too long!"

Both Harry and Durin know that Colills' purpose is to operate for twenty-five years, and in addition to the economic benefits, the most important thing is the right to speak. In the future, after the construction of these two railways is completed, he will have the final say on who can and cannot go from here. In this long twenty-five years, he was able to exclude other capitalists who were not in his circle, and thus gain political influence.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is still a battle between the capitalist camps, which actually has little to do with ordinary people, and there are only benefits, not harms. First of all, with the railway, the traffic has become smoother, and there is no need to change trains to get to other cities, and secondly, as the traffic situation improves, it will attract more and more merchants to gather here, increasing the prosperity of the city, making it a real pearl in the heart of the empire.

With the recovery of the imperial economy, the speed of currency printing will only get faster and faster, and the purchasing power of the existing currency denomination will gradually decline, and the "mortgage" of more than 100,000 yuan a month may not be as good as the purchasing power of 20,000 yuan now.

As for the right to operate, this thing actually doesn't mean much to the official, no matter who Colyls allows to go or who doesn't go, there will be trains passing through here, that's fine. The frequency and ownership of trains cannot restrict the passage of ordinary people and merchants, and the pursuit of the ownership of the right to operate is of no practical value to Dulin and the town hall except for the good looks on their faces.

And Duhring thinks that more than 10 million will never be able to do it, and it may be beneficial, and the benefits will be many.

Of course, that's for later.

"Well, I'm not going to interfere in this matter, there is another thing you want to pay attention to besides bringing Cole. Harry moved to sit next to Durin, and patted his deputy on the old sofa, "Voting will start at the end of the month, and the city of Otis will also need to cast a precious vote." ”

In fact, the old party seems to be pressed to the ground by the new party and has no power to fight back, but in fact, the old party still controls a lot of areas, and if the midterm election is overturned, it will definitely become a joke remembered by history. Harry knew that Otis City was a war zone with no position, and no position did not mean that these people would not vote, and if there were people from the old party who were in tandem in private, it was very likely that there would be an accident.

He didn't see any campaign posters plastered all over the streets on his way here, so he mentioned it.

Durin nodded his head in understanding, and he asked, "Will we win?"

Harry was pleased with Doolin's use of the word "we", which showed that he recognized himself with Maggs and the New Party, and was willing to stand with them. Isn't politics all about turning "you" into "us"?

He raised his chin slightly, and said in a tone full of confidence: "Of course, we won!"

Duhring didn't pay much attention to this, and in the George family's survey of the campaign's approval rating last week, Mags's approval rating exceeded 70 percent, and according to those experts who analyzed that this may be directly related to the economic recovery of the empire, they are all lamenting that Mags has a good time. The post-war trough has passed, and the empire's economic problems have begun to pick up, and the economy will naturally recover, and some experts believe that even the old party in power will have a high level of support.

The fact that they describe the situation that Maggs is now facing is that it is only a way to cover up the real problem, and beneath the surface of their preaching of peace and prosperity, the fierce contradictions are more severe than one might think.

The economic recovery of the empire did not come from the ruling philosophy of the new party, but from the invasion of all aspects of society by a large number of capitalist forces. After the New Party came to power, what it lacked most was capital, so they let go of the dog chain around the neck of capital, and let capital start to bite the stubborn economic system. Capital has indeed brought great changes to society, and profit-seeking businessmen will get involved in all walks of life as long as they are profitable.

These actions will create a large number of jobs and solve the problem of employment and food and clothing for the citizens of the empire, but behind this, the power of capital is no longer satisfied with the status quo and has begun to invade the political system. When the New Party was ready to restrain the power of capital, it was discovered that this earth dog had rapidly evolved into a Tyrannosaurus rex from the level where it could kick away.

It may seem that the empire really resembles the world in which people lived in the past, but the rivalry between the two great powers is heating up. In particular, when the politicians of the new party and the old party also appeared behind the support of capitalists and capital forces, finally the top leaders of both parties realized that something was wrong.

If you want to change it at this time, it's too late!

Putting capital in a cage will only cause social unrest, and a large number of unemployed people will become the fuse that will cause unrest or even civil war, and finally a second civil war may break out, so everyone is facing each other to a limited extent, but the situation is definitely not optimistic.

Just like this midterm election, too many capital forces are involved, including the issue of propaganda posters that Harry just mentioned.

Propaganda requires a cost, and where does the cost come from?

The New Party certainly did not have the financial resources to carry out propaganda work and public opinion offensives throughout the empire, and the money actually came from the capitalists and their hands. If they support Maggs for re-election, then Maggs must give them enough in return, or they will switch sides to the old party. When the capitalists switch sides, the workers who depend on their salaries for their livelihood must also switch sides, and they will lose a lot of votes or even lose the election.

But with the help of these capitalists, their greedy appetite became more and more difficult to fill, and they could only make concessions again and again, so that they retreated into the last line of defense.

So the so-called optimism is nothing more than a modification.

The top of the new party and the old party have long felt this crisis, and the battle between the old and new aristocrats, which originally belonged to the old and new aristocracy, is likely to turn into a duel of capital forces because of the participation of these capitalists. Perhaps ten or twenty years from now, the election will no longer be about who has a higher level of governance and whose ideas are more sophisticated, but about who is richer!

Durin complimented him softly, and Harry raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I still have something to go to the imperial capital tomorrow, so I won't be here to accompany you, when will you call me!"

Durin stood up to see him off, but he waved his hand, "I'll just go by myself, you can go about your business!"

After Harry left, Durin sat back in the chair behind his desk, his head tilted back at the black spots peeking through the freshly painted white paint, but his mind was thinking about Colyls. These monopolistic tycoons have become accustomed to trampling on power and authority for profit, and it is hard to imagine how they will swell if they are not restrained in the future.

In the first two years, Doolin wanted to become a wealthy man, to provide a better living environment for his fellow citizens, to raise their social class, to become a person whose name was known to the whole world, so that he would not lose himself to coming into this world. But now, his mind seems to have risen a lot, and he has begun to think about more things.

Capitalist, empire, business, monopoly, competitiveness, word after word flashed through his mind, and he felt that he should do something.

It's not about being a great guy that everyone praises, it's just about trying to challenge this power!

In the imperial capital, not far from him, a very strange thing is happening, many people approached Stan Ain to seek a method of alcohol purification, but he was told that in fact, this purification method had already been patented and was not in his hands.

When people look up the patent owner, they all point to a company called Future Star, and a guy named Clark.

This patent was not hidden, but was chosen to be made public, and the time of protection was ...... One hundred years!
