Cosma Empire

"I've heard about your past, and I'm very sorry for what happened to you." Dulin twitched and threw a cigarette to Duffer, who quickly caught it with both hands. He took out a bronze lighter from his pocket. The lighter is something that has only emerged in recent years. It is expensive, and of course the shape is also very beautiful. Many people are very interested in this kind of small things that are exquisite and can show their status, so the sales of lighters are rising steadily. Anyone with a little money will buy one and put it in their pockets.

Of course, the increase in the market means that more hot money will enter the industry, and various cheap brands of uneven quality are flooding the entire lighter industry. So far, there have been more than a dozen burns caused by kerosene spills. People's requirements for the brand and quality of lighters are getting higher and higher. Businesses with word-of-mouth are getting better and better, and the prices of their products are getting higher and higher. Companies that have not established a brand effect will be miserable and face the risk of bankruptcy.

The lighter in Du Lin's hand was a product of "Bundy" Industries, the largest lighter manufacturing company in the empire, and the price was as high as 38 yuan.

Looking at the flames, Dufo almost forgot that he should go up to him at this time, and lit the cigarette he was holding. He knew the lighter, but he was in a daze not because of the price of the lighter, but because of Du Lin's action.

In gangs, classes and ranks are very strict, the more powerful the gang, the more obvious the boundaries. It was never customary in gangs for superiors to light cigarettes for subordinates, except in one special case.

Du Lin wanted to praise him and get him promoted.

Duffer stepped forward excitedly, stretched out his hands to cover the flames, pointed the cigarette butt at the flames, took a breath, and immediately retreated. The muscles on his face were trembling and changing, and he didn't know what kind of state he should show.

It was too sudden, especially after he just found out how much money Du Lin made, he might be promoted, it was really too sudden.

Du Lin took back the lighter and put it back in his pocket. Looking at Duffer who failed to force himself to calm down, he smiled, "We are a group, we are brothers, now and in the future. I don't think building a class is a There is a better way of management, but until there is no new and better way of management, we can only do so, even if it is not my intention."

"From today onwards, you are the team leader!"

"Every month from now on, you will have 0.2% of the profit from the bootleg wine business, and the rest of the brothers and sisters will share 1% of the dividend. And your task is to supervise the production of our fruit wine. Quality, and avoid mistakes as much as possible." Du Lin lowered his head and smiled, and when he looked up again, the smile on his face was as warm as sunshine, "Of course, if someone wants to prevent us from gaining a firm foothold in this troubled world, you also have the obligation Get rid of them."

"Okay, let's tell everyone the good news!"

Du Lin waved his hand, Dufo stepped back excitedly and respectfully, turned around and went out and closed the door. The moment he closed the door, he saw Du Lin standing on the edge of the window sill looking out of the window, the sunlight came in from the window, and his whole body was bathed in the sunlight, just like a certain revelation in the Our Father , full of holiness.

The door was finally closed tightly, and the excitement in his heart inexplicably dissipated in the last one or two seconds, replaced by a kind of calm, a kind of piety. He turned around slowly, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked into another large room. There were less than half of the members gathered inside, and Dufo was very majestic. When he walked in, the air in the room was suffocated.

After scanning everyone's faces, Dufo said with a smile, "I want to announce two things."

"First, I'm the team leader now."

Many young people whistled and applauded. Dover is still very prestigious among these young people.

First, he is old enough. Not only has he been out for several years, but he has also been in prison. He has a certain understanding of some gangs in the entire Tenell City, and he also knows a lot of gang members. Whether a person is worthy of respect in the eyes of young people is based on two points.

He can play well, or he is rich.

Hearing that Dufo was promoted to team leader was no less than an encouragement to this group of young people. In the gang, the team leader, or the captain, does not mean literally. It does not mean that this position must manage how many people and be responsible for specific things. This kind of address is more like what a group of uneducated guys think of when they can't find the right word and need a title. The team leader or captain can be regarded as the person responsible for "something". For example, Du Lin needs some people to do something for him now, so he will name a team leader, and the team leader arranges members according to the content of the matter .

If it succeeds, it will naturally be rewarded. If it fails, the responsibility will fall on the team leader. Of course, the team leader is indeed different from ordinary members, with higher rank and higher income, but the same responsibilities are also heavier.

Dufo became the group leader, which means that the fellow countrymen's association is not that kind of simple fellow countrymen's association, which is exactly what they want for fifteen, sixteen and seventeen year olds. As long as they work hard to contribute to the hometown association, they will surely become team leaders in the future.

Dufo raised his hand and accepted everyone's encouragement with a smile, "There is a second thing, from today onwards, the farm will take out 1% of the income every month and distribute it to all of you!"

If Duffer's promotion means that they will usher in a brand new life, then the dividend distribution is related to the personal interests of each of them. Especially when the girls said how they felt when counting the money just now, these teenagers were more or less jealous. Such a simple thing can actually bring tens of thousands of dollars in return, that is an astronomical sum!

Some people even think that it would be great if they could get a share too.

This kind of thought was still echoing in the mind, and Dufo brought the good news. Everyone looked at Dufo with enthusiasm in their eyes, and couldn't help roaring loudly.

Yes, only one percent, and it looks like ninety-nine percent are not theirs. But everyone knows that even a 1% dividend right represents hundreds of dollars. There are only twenty-nine people in the entire township association, and each person can get at least ten yuan.

This is only in one area of ​​Tenell. What if bootleg alcohol is sold to the entire state, or even the whole country in the future? That one percent per month will be as high as tens of thousands, or even more!

After becoming a member of the fellow countrymen's association, there will be a settling-in allowance every month. Of course, it can also be understood as salary, and now it is more than ten yuan more. The huge income will bring changes to every family, and this is exactly what they hope, through their own hands and efforts, to change the difficult situation faced by the family.

Du Lin smiled and listened to the cheers of "Long live the fellow countrymen" and "Long live Du Lin" from the next door. He was laughing not because he was able to make these people support him so much, but because of the influence of money on human beings. .

If you have money, you can do whatever you want. This is the benchmark for any world.

From the emperor to the common people, none can escape the clutches of money. Maybe money will manifest in other forms at a higher level, but it has never changed at all.

Just as the young people from the fellowship association were cheering for Du Lin, on another street in the city, three guys with gloomy faces sat together.

They are part of the city's mid-to-premium moonshine purveyors that dominate the high-end and high-end moonshine market in Tenell City. The launch of First Love and Snow Fairy actually did not have any impact on ordinary fruit wine, because a glass of five or six yuan wine is not affordable for low-end consumers. So no matter what changes have taken place in the mid-to-high-end market, it has nothing to do with the low-end market.

But the business of these three people was dealt a heavy blow.

Tenell City is so small, and the three of them are already dissatisfied with dividing up the mid-to-high-end bootleg liquor market. If it wasn't for the consideration that the benefits brought by launching a gang war may not be higher than the sacrifices, they would have already torn apart. It's no secret that they're at odds with each other, but that doesn't mean they'll allow the Quartet to enter the market.

Just last night, their income dropped sharply. The young and middle-aged were snatched away by the first love and the snow elf. Maybe it was for trying something new, or maybe they really liked it. The sales on the first day were very good. Perhaps this is just the initial performance. After a period of time, the popularity will decay and sales will decline. But no matter how the popularity drops, some people will inevitably choose these two wines, thus occupying a certain sales market.

Money is really omnipotent, and three people who are hostile to each other, who wish to kill each other immediately, sit together.
