Cosma Empire

On the second night, Du Lin showed up at the appointed restaurant on time. The restaurant was not a well-known restaurant, but it was superior in its elegant style and quiet environment. Although the place is not big, it can only accommodate less than ten tables, but it is always full and you need to queue up. But this time, Du Lin and the others didn't need to line up, and they couldn't see anyone else in the restaurant. He booked a three-hour time slot at night.

It's not that Du Lin is stingy and reluctant to book the whole night, but that the owner of the restaurant disagrees. He postpones the appointments of some individual guests to after 8:30, and the three hours before that are Du Lin's. A charter fee of 1,000 yuan per hour is required.

Du Lin was thinking about something when Garfield's laughter suddenly sounded outside the door. He immediately put away his scattered thoughts and stood up to meet him.

After Luke was arrested, Garfield had vaguely realized that maybe this was a game by Doolin, because Doolin behaved a little abnormally when he was negotiating with Luke at his home that day, and he put the meat in his mouth too simply Give some of it to Luke. At the beginning, Garfield thought it might be that Doolin was a little afraid of Luke, including Luke himself. It wasn't until Luke was arrested that he discovered that all this was a trap, and Luke jumped into it on his own initiative.

Now that he was able to realize this point, Garfield made up his mind not to offend Du Lin as much as possible if it was not necessary. It would definitely not be a pleasure to be tricked by him or to be hated by him one day. matter. It just so happened that he was able to complete what Du Lin asked him to do this time. While helping Du Lin, he also found a business for his friend. Why not do it to please both ends?

As for whether they can negotiate, they will not keep him in the account book in their hearts in the end. If the negotiation is successful, it is a favor.

He can still do a business like this without losing money.

"This is Mr. Thomas!" Garfield introduced to Du Lin the middle-aged man in casual clothes on his left. He has blond hair, a very tall figure, and his shoulders are slightly higher than ordinary people. Although he was smiling, he couldn't hide the soldierly aura beneath the impetuous surface. Garfield introduced Dooling to Mr. Thomas again, "This is Illian's famous Mr. 350,000. He has helped me a lot."

Garfield had already held that piece of land in his hand, but he never thought of building anything. Illian's coastline is like a north-south crescent, embracing part of the sea water. The land in his hand, which is the manor where Durin lives now, is on the crescent tip to the north. His original idea was to build a dense commercial cluster, but in Irian's plan, this place was a little far away from the real commercial core area.

If you can indeed make money if you build a landscape, the investment will definitely not be small, and the time to pay back and make profits will take a little longer. In the end, after much deliberation, he decided to build a luxurious manor. The overall cost would be between 180,000 and 200,000, and the land would be sold for 360,000 in one go. It has been sold for half a year and they have not been sold. Firstly, the rich locals already have more than one villa, and they also have manors outside the city. There is no need to spend 350,000 yuan to buy another manor.

Secondly, everyone is familiar with it, so the price cannot be negotiated, so it was delayed for a while, until Du Lin appeared and took the cash, which made Garfield heave a sigh of relief.

Dooling and Mr. Thomas shook hands, said a few polite words, and led the two to sit on the best table in this restaurant - a terrace protruding from the main body of the building, made of ten centimeters thick With the glass as the ground, the whole person is like sitting in the air!

Below are the cliffs and the sea. Occasionally, the waves will be rough and some waves will hit the low-end glass, which makes people feel frightened. But once you get used to it, it will be a different experience.

"I asked Mr. Garfield to invite you this time. I have a business and I want to interview you. Please forgive me. I have a lot of things to transport and go to many places. I don't know if you have enough transport capacity. and enough ships.

", Du Lin took out three metal cylinders and gave one to the two of them. He kindly reminded: "The top-level mycelium collected from Yawangdu in the province, try it? "

The King of Shengya was the political core of the Shengya Dynasty in the past. After the fall of the Yaoxing Empire, the empire flattened all the buildings related to the royal family of the Shengya Empire. The bustling city immediately became ruins, and the Shengya royal family also Beheaded here. I don’t know if it’s because there is something wonderful about the blood of the royal family, mycelium soon appeared in the ruins, and now it has become the mainstay of the local economy. Every April, a collection is organized to collect these wild mycelia , Make it into a paradise and sell it.

Such a top-of-the-line Paradise costs 120 yuan a piece, which is the top-notch product!

Garfield smiled, cut it open and tasted it, and nodded with a smile. He felt inexplicably happy, and it took a while for his eyes to recover, "It's indeed a good thing, it cost a fortune."

Compared to Garfield's randomness, Thomas' movements seemed orderly. He also took a sip, the muscles on his cheeks trembled, and the tense facial muscles gradually relaxed a lot, and he also showed some smiles.

He blinked, and put one hand under the table. Du Lin guessed whether he had twisted his thigh muscles, "Let's put it this way..." His words paused, as if he was considering how to speak, " I have about seven 10,000-ton freighters in my hand, and five freighters converted from warships, and I am the most..." in the vicinity, he suddenly realized something, but it is obviously not sincere to say anything here, so he can only continue : "The largest marine contractor." He calmly put the paradise into a metal cylinder and suffocated it. He said something he shouldn't have said.

Du Lin was very keen to capture this point. According to the latest military law, after the warship is decommissioned, all weapons must be dissolved. This involves some secrets on the warship, such as how many standard weapons can be carried and how many can be stored. Ammunition, how many soldiers can be accommodated, how much speed is fully loaded, and what is the maximum speed per hour when it is empty... . These data, which may not seem like a big deal, will become fatal information once a war breaks out. But he said that he has a ship converted from a warship, so there is no doubt that he must be from the military.

It is not news in certain circles that the navy does business. Garfield also told Dulin that not only did Dulin not worry about it, but let go of all worries.

Although the military's style of doing things is a bit too neat and unreasonable, but as long as they are not greedy when working with these people, they are the best partners.

"Mr. Thomas, you are a very straightforward person. I think I have already understood your strength. Now let's talk about my request. I will transport at least half a million bottles of wine to various docks in the empire every month. This number will increase in the future, and the price is easy to say, as long as the safety of these things can be guaranteed, I can make appropriate concessions."

Thomas opened his eyes, and he almost blurted out, "Smuggled wine?"

Du Lin shook his head with a serious and upright expression, "No, no, Mr. Thomas, I am a legal and legally protected businessman, how could I violate the laws of the empire? I have a license to make wine and sell wine in Illian The license is just that my customers buy a little more each time, so I need to provide some transportation services. As for whether their behavior is considered illegal, it has nothing to do with me!"

Thomas chuckled lightly, and Dooling's sophistry made him amused, and at the same time he gained confidence in the deal. Just as Du Lin considered, he also began to consider the benefits. An upright bootlegger using the potential power of the Navy to smuggle bootleg liquor for him, he gets the safety of the cargo on the sea, and the Navy gets a long-term source of income.

This is almost something that does not need to be thought about. As long as Du Lin can come up with what he said, then the navy will definitely have the ability to deliver it to each dock area according to his requirements. Once this kind of transportation network is formed, no matter how the terminal is changed. It will affect their cooperation, let alone destroy this cooperation.

Because both parties are "legal businessmen", Du Lin himself will not leave Illian, and the drinks and funds will be delivered in Illian, which is legal.

The cargo is on the Navy's ship, no matter whether the cargo is clean or not, as long as it floats on the sea and the Navy says it is legal, it is legal!

As for the others, it has nothing to do with them.

This is definitely a big business. If a bottle of wine charges 50 cents for transportation, it will generate at least 250,000 yuan in income every month, which is almost equal to the income of the last half year. Thinking of this, Mr. Thomas' breathing became a little short. Once this deal is concluded, his position in the navy will be even stronger, so that he has the opportunity to touch the position behind the so-called "insurmountable red line"-major general!

After the Great Patriotic War, both the Empire and the Federation have realized that if there is no major military breakthrough in the short term, the war will basically not break out. After a civil war, the two sides have already figured out each other's reality, and launching a war rashly is meaningless except to waste people's money. In the peaceful era that will last for an unknown period of time, it is basically impossible to be promoted from a colonel to a major general.

Not to mention that Mr. Thomas didn't have any strong support behind him. He was able to become a colonel because the navy felt that the rank of colonel could make those businessmen feel satisfied and secure. Otherwise, he was just a lieutenant colonel.

With a sincere smile on his face, "I think we can talk in detail."
