Cosma Empire

"When are you going to get married?"

After the two sat down, Magus's first words made Du Lin a little unresponsive. Are you so eager?

He glanced at Magus suspiciously, crossed his legs and shook twice, there was no change in expression on his face, neither surprised nor surprised, he seemed to think for a while, and said, "In half a year, I don't want to Miss the election."

Magus nodded. This is where Durin was smart. He didn't avoid this question, and he also realized the benefits of getting married for his participation in the campaign. Now that he and his niece haven't known each other for a long time, a hasty marriage will make this wedding look like some kind of fornication between interests, and then his marriage will become less valuable.

Marriage is sacred, there is no doubt about it, even though the empire seems to be a bit ahead of the curve in many aspects, with a unique aesthetic, but when it comes to dealing with family issues, it is in a state of approval from top to bottom. A perfect family can add a lot of points to a public figure in the limelight, including politicians.

Family is a manifestation of social responsibility. In this world, there is no such thing as self-cultivation, family harmony and peace, but everyone has the same understanding of the essence of truth. If a politician can’t manage a family well, how can he manage it well? How about countless families in the whole society? At the beginning, Peter and Mrs. Vivienne had become strangers, and they were still married, just to ensure that Peter would not be deducted too much in family points.

Half a year later, Du Lin got married and had a family, which indicated that he would take on more personal and social responsibilities. This was a sign of maturity, and he was able to please many rational voters and the middle class, so he was really serious. Consider this.

This is also what makes Dooling most satisfying to Magus. He looks like he is still very young, but in fact his angle of thinking has something in common with the way of thinking of old people like Magus who have experienced many things. He has a sharp side, and can make himself very mature, so there is only one person with such contradictory characteristics in the entire empire, Du Lin.

"At the end of next week, you should hold an engagement ceremony first. You know, some things always have to take the first step." Magus didn't explain it clearly, but Du Lin understood it. This is a statement. Then Magus said, "Since you have chosen this path, you should understand that in many cases, individual interests are never more important than collective interests."

"I've always heard that the fellow countrymen's association is a very xenophobic non-government organization. It's not good. You know that the current general policy of the country has been trying to promote ethnic integration. Ogdin, Guart, Shengya or others , Strictly speaking, they are all citizens of the empire, and they are all imperial people!" Magus also has a little prejudice against the fellow countrymen. His "relationship" with Du Lin did not reach this level before, so he would not say some things , now Du Lin is going to become his niece-in-law, and he also hopes to reverse Du Lin's values ​​and make him the most reliable person in the empire,

Naturally, more will be said.

The xenophobia of the fellow countrymen's association is not just an isolated incident. Du Lin has managed the fellowship association so well that the provincial and elegant people have spontaneously created some small groups that are relatively closed and xenophobic. If this problem cannot be solved from the root cause, future Consciousness gaps and racial gaps will only get worse, and may eventually have some bad effects.

Du Lin nodded immediately and said yes, "I am already revising the charter, and I don't know if you have noticed. Recently, more faces that have not appeared in my team have been added to my team. Of course, I still have some problems in some aspects in the past. Narrow it down, and you'll soon see things differently."

Maggs has been satisfied with Du Lin's behavior countless times. He also noticed that there are three more eye-catching characters in Du Lin's team. One is Natiya's woman. The senior partner of the company, Ogdin, is now mainly responsible for the financial part of Du Lin's hands. As we all know, finance is always the most important and most important issue for individuals or companies, and it is the real core. People who are not the kind of absolute trust will not touch these things. Natiya's joining has changed many people's attitude towards Du Lin's opinion, or prejudice.

The other two are the Hill sisters, who are known as the shame of the nobility. Although their reputation in the aristocratic circle is not very good now, it is undeniable that Du Lin made a good move. He made some nobles start It's important to look him in the eye.

Coupled with this marriage, he integrated into the aristocratic circle faster than he and Magus imagined.

After a short pause, Du Lin continued, "I plan to give up part of the business. As a public figure, I have long been mentally prepared. For example, I will end all the bootlegging business..."

Maggs glanced at Du Lin in some surprise. He knew very well how terrible Du Lin's bootlegging business in the empire is now. keep rising. Taking Illian's winery as an example, it can currently provide Du Lin with more than three million profits per year, and bootlegging is not only about profit, but also about the market and the right to speak.

Those things can no longer be simply measured by money, power is always above money!

Maggs sighed silently. This is the scary thing about Durin. In order to achieve his goal, he can give up anything that needs to be given up, without hesitation or nostalgia. Even if this deal is given to some big nobles in the empire, they will not give up so easily, there are too many benefits in it!

The complicated light in his eyes flashed away, he didn't know whether he was right or wrong in raising Du Lin, this young man was too scary, his determination, unwavering pursuit of goals, and his ruthlessness, It is destined not to let him become an ordinary person, and I hope that the choice I made will not make me regret it.

Soon Magus cheered up again, precisely because Durin was so good, if he could stand on the right side and consider for the empire, then the empire would not need to think about big troubles for at least a hundred years in the future. If such a character is placed in the past, he must be a person who will be remembered by history.

"I am very pleased that you can do this. You are the most outstanding young man I have ever seen. I also hope that you can go further!"

The two then talked about some other things, including some interests of the city of Otis. On the basis of not moving the most important resource of Durin, Magus hoped that Durin could transfer the property rights of part of the land in his hand to Odis City Town Hall, which allows the town hall to hold a certain amount of land.

Now the city of Odis can be said to be the back garden of Doolin. Some people's nerves. This matter has not been raised in the past for two reasons.

On the one hand, these lands were obtained by Dulin privately through the city hall auction before the city of Otis became a special zone. All his actions were followed and justified by the legal staff of the Ministry of Justice, and there were no violations of the regulations. place. He even invited a large number of well-known wealthy people and entrepreneurs in the society to participate by letter before the auction started, including a considerable number of nobles. But everyone knew that the city of Odis was a wasteland at that time, and the annual tax payment of the entire city was sometimes less than ten yuan.

Yes, in a city, the tax is less than ten yuan, and this is the territory of the New Party, which is enough to show that this place is no different from a garbage dump. Spending money to buy land in Odis City will not be used again except for brain problems. There are other possibilities. His procedures are all legal, so these property rights should belong to Du Lin.

On the other hand, the reason is that the privileged class also needs face. It is not impossible to do things like stealing and extorting, the key is to do it beautifully. If Du Lin was an idiot, they would have done it a long time ago, but Du Lin is not treacherous like a young man, cutting off the ideas of these people. Moreover, Du Lin is very good at using public opinion, and always portrays himself as an oppressed minority who achieves the dream of empire. His plundering may cause a series of serious social phenomena. In today's rapid expansion of capitalism, once Uncontrollable adverse effects have occurred, and it is very likely that the foundation of the country will be shaken.

No one will be indifferent to the wealth they have struggled for being plundered by others in various names. Today's silence means the silence of others when disaster befalls them tomorrow. Those capitalists will desperately make things big. The loss outweighs the gain.

Now that Du Lin wants to participate in the game according to the rules of the game, some things become easier. There is no need for any conspiracy, just let him out.

Du Lin has no opinion on this, he will retain no more than 30% of the property rights, and give up 34% of the city property rights to the city hall free of charge. What he did made Magus feel like a jerk, even if Durin called out a very high price, Magus would accept it. Anyway, they just robbed the Federal Bank of the Federation, and they have never felt that they have such a rich cabinet Looking at money now is like looking at paper. But Du Lin didn't mention the money, and it would be difficult to donate it to the city of Otis.

Magus glared at Du Lin, and scolded a bastard, Du Lin responded with a smile.

You can't use me to deal with it, can't you, I will fight back!

Anyway, these things will eventually be lost, so let these things maximize their own interests in the process of losing them, not only to donate them to the city hall, but also to arouse media public opinion, create a hot topic, and let the whole world know that they are Hundreds of millions of wealth were donated to the city hall of Odis City, and to the imperial government!

Star politician, this is Du Lin's plan for his next stage!
