Cosma Empire

In the living room, the 32-inch TV screen was playing programs with distorted colors. The current picture tube imaging technology and decoding technology could not restore more realistic colors, but even so, this was a very remarkable progress.

In the foreign trade in the past year, TV actually accounted for 1.7% of the total export commodities. TV signal, and only in some areas.

The main purpose of these TVs after export is to play various tapes. The tape business has shrunk a lot due to the impact of cable TV. Many tape companies that were once prosperous are on the verge of bankruptcy.

Du Lin allowed Nasha to quickly complete the integration of the tape industry, and acquired a large number of tape companies and upstream and downstream companies. Now the largest tape service company in the empire is also Du Lin's industry.

For those overseas countries and users who have no way to access cable TV signals, tape is the only good thing that can save them from spending thousands of dollars on a somewhat ugly low coffee table, and also allows them to set it up in front of relatives and friends. Spectrum.

The re-prosperous tape business also made some entrepreneurs who had been in the tape business a little bit excited, but they finally gave up.

Du Lin was able to make money because he had the first-hand content. He monopolized the broadcasting rights and filling rights of the cable TV group. As long as he holds on to this point, no one can shake his strength status.

Instead of touching a bag, it is better to do other things honestly.

What is being shown on TV are some highlights before the battle royale in the west. Although the game has come to an end, the popularity has not diminished. On the contrary, with the birth of many multi-millionaires and millionaires, it has begun to spread to more people. far away.

As long as they can enter the finals, every participant is a star, a kind of star that is different from the stars on the screen. All major conglomerates are forming their own teams. These players who participated in the finals are obviously the best candidates, none of them .

A game has driven a terrible cash flow, driven the gradual improvement of an unexpected industry, and brought several major changes to many people.

Looking away from the TV, Durin smiled and turned his head to look at Alfonso. He gave Alfonso a cigarette, and the latter took it respectfully, and then took out a lighter for Durin to light first.

The two swallowed their fog for a while, and then Du Lin asked, "What do you think about the discipline issue?"

In fact, this question is so thoughtless that most people can't turn it around.

But every agent who can bring people up from adversity, the former president of the fellow countrymen, is definitely not an ordinary character.

Because ordinary characters can't bear such responsibilities, they don't have the courage, and they don't have the ability to carry the great cause of national rejuvenation.

Alfonso hadn't read any books, and most of Durin's men hadn't read any books, and more than two-thirds of them were illiterate.

These people participated in various cram schools and literacy classes at the request of Du Lin, and finally figured out how to read and how to write, but they wanted to let them write fluent and beautiful words, and wanted them to write some warning words Still impossible.

But this does not prevent them from having a wealth of experience. What can be learned in the book is limited after all, and there are such great limitations. Only the experience gained in real life is truly valuable.

Reality will never follow the routine with you. When your choice makes it dissatisfied, it will slap you and make people realize the cruelty of reality.

All these experiences and experiences were bought with wounds and bloody hands, so they must be valuable and effective.

Alfonso thought for a moment before realizing what Du Lin was asking. He lowered his head and pondered slightly, and then replied, "Before I met you, I had been working for a rancher, herding sheep, and slaughtering. There are about 3,000 sheep and only five herders, and it was difficult for us to do well at the beginning, because some sheep always ran too far and got lost.”

He took a puff of a cigarette, with a little nostalgia on his face, "Then we were deducted from our salary, and the rancher also canceled our dinner for a month as punishment for losing the animals."

"Later we became smarter. We need to slaughter some sheep every day, so we set a rule for the flock. Whoever goes beyond the range marked with a red line around the pasture will be killed in front of all the sheep. It then whips the strongest ram in the flock."

"At the beginning, the sheep were frightened and ran around, but after we did a lot, the sheep in the flock understood a truth, that they cannot cross the line, and cannot let other newly sent sheep cross the line."

"If a new arrival sheep tries to cross the red line, the stronger rams in the flock will attack it until it dies or falls back into the flock."

There was a wise smile on Alfonso's face, "It's not difficult to make people abide by the rules. When some people are punished because of other people's mistakes, they will spontaneously start to maintain these rules."

Du Lin thought about it for a while, then nodded, "It's an interesting summary of experience, but it's not enough, because people are not sheep, people have more wisdom, more desires, and know how to solve some problems. troubles that haunt themselves, even when their solution turns out to be unworkable."

"So when we need to manage people, for intelligent human beings, the most important thing is to have a reward system on the basis of a punishment system!"

He patted Alfonso's arm and continued, "I need someone to do something for me. You are the first person I thought of. During this time, please pay attention to the working rules and regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the party. Then go back and form a team first, and I will use it in two years."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a very important department. It can be said that in the eyes of Du Lin, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be the most important department of the new party. During the Magus era, he ignored the value of this department, or he was too proud and confident. He believes that nothing in this world can exceed his expectations and plans.

So he allowed the isolation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs within the new party, so that a key power department is now as helpless as a chicken with the plague.

Du Lin believed that once he took control of part of the power in the New Party, he would immediately form the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so that everyone would have a sharp sword hanging over their heads.

Some people say that over-concentration of power cannot last long. Du Lin very much agrees with this sentence. The over-concentration of power in any regime in history will not last long before being overthrown. However, in history, the process of change in any era It is often a period of excessive concentration of power.

Too many people have too many selfish desires. In this world, it is impossible for everyone to have the same thoughts, and it is impossible for everyone to have the same thoughts. This means different positions, different choices, and conflicts.

Only by firmly pressing everyone to bow their heads, reducing internal friction, and reducing internal differences of opinion can we successfully walk out a broad road in the changing situation of the times.

This was the case with Magus back then. Judging from the history that Durin knows so far, Magus seized the opportunity to force the royal family to give up their power to resolve the armed conflict between the nobles and the royal family.

But thinking about it the other way around, wouldn't there be a possibility that Magus created such a situation to force both sides and even history to inevitably choose him?

In this process, where have those former vested interests gone, and where have those opponents gone?

In fact, it is not difficult to guess that these people are all finished, killed by the great era changer and era pioneer Magus... Sorry, it should be said that they were abandoned by this great era, and then eliminated by history.

The pen used to write history is always in the hands of the victors. If Magus had not succeeded in those years, the Magus that people know today may be a different kind of person.

"Choose those who are absolutely reliable, not afraid that they are young, but afraid that they are not motivated. These people must have firm ideals and beliefs, and they must be able to endure abuse, irony, and humiliation from those in society who do not understand the truth when necessary. .”

"I look forward to the day when you can accompany me into the cabinet, Alfonso."

Alfonso was so excited that he wanted to blow his nose. This was a small problem of his. Whenever he was particularly excited, he would feel his head heat up, and then he would have the illusion that his nose was about to flow out.

Naturally, it was impossible for him to take out a handkerchief and blow his nose regularly in front of Du Lin at this time, so he could only use the scarf to wipe his nose a little while dancing with excitement.

For people who are unfamiliar with power, they don’t necessarily think that power is the most beautiful thing in the world. They may sneer at the descriptions in film and television works, and even think that if they hold power, they will do much better than others .

So stupid, too ridiculous, too ignorant!

The beauty of power is its omnipotence. No matter what a person lacks, as long as he has power, he can get everything he wants.

Whether it is money, power, status, prestige, love, health, and... dignity.

Alfonso had tasted the poison of power, and that feeling made him unable to extricate himself, even more exciting and exciting than Grimace Mushroom.

When Du Lin said "join the cabinet", Alfonso's whole body trembled, he knew what it meant, cabinet chief, or minister.

A person who was born as a waif and lived in a black and white miserable world since he was a child and struggled not to let himself die in a corner, suddenly one day he might enter the cabinet, why is this feeling so addictive?

"I...I...sorry, I don't know what to say to express my current mood...", Alfonso's lips trembled, not so neatly, his face flushed, his hands were like small The mouse trembled slightly as it was held in front of its face.

Du Lin patted him on the shoulder, stood up, and he also stood up, bending slightly, "I need a pruning knife for repairs, cut off those rotten branches, you are mine Trimmer, if there is anything you don't understand, come and ask me!"

Alfonso trembled for a while and came back to normal. He took a deep breath and patted his chest, "Don't worry, Durin!"

After leaving the guest room, Du Lin returned to the study and sat for a while.

Choosing Alfonso was a decision he made after deliberation. In fact, it seems that there are many people under him, but there are very few who are really useful.

First of all, no matter what position they are in, those guys from the Guarts are all from poor families and lack the necessary background and experience to support them to go further and climb higher.

Secondly, there are indeed some highly educated intellectuals in the group company, but these people can only work in the commercial field, because in the commercial field, Du Lin can confirm that he is enough to deter these people's selfish desires and ambitions.

But politics is different, and it is still an important department. If the person who puts it up betrays himself because of the relationship between interests, it will definitely not be a subordinate who loses!

So he would rather use Alfonso than he would use those Ogdins!

The Ogdins had betrayed him, and mainstream society would not reject a person who caused him trouble.

But if a guart betrayed him, he would be despised by the guart group and the mainstream society at the same time, and there would be no way out in this empire!

After resting for a while, he picked up the phone and dialed the number of His Excellency Chairman's private house.

The waiting tone on the phone was answered after thinking for a while, but the other party didn't speak. Du Lin said proactively, "Your Excellency, this is Du Lin."

The chairman of the new party committee is called Odegar, the hereditary earl of the empire. According to past calculations, the gold content of his earl is equivalent to that of some non-hereditary marquises. .

But it is a pity that ever since he stood with Magus, he personally extinguished the inheritance of the nobility, and this hereditary title has also become a thing of the past.

There was a hint of kindness in the slightly aged voice, which was not directed at Du Lin, but at the old man behind Du Lin, "What's the matter?"

"Yes... I want to visit you recently. I don't know when you will be free."

The so-called visit is actually a private conversation. Your Excellency the Chairman thought for a while and gave a time, "I have time from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm the day after tomorrow..." He paused here , and then added inexplicably, "Before that, I will have a meeting with the governor of Woodland State. You arrange your own time and tell me after work tomorrow."

Du Lin greeted a few words and hung up the phone, and then quickly mentioned, "Help me find someone, the governor of Woodland State, I want all his information, as soon as possible!"
