Cosma Empire
Chapter 920 Learning Makes Me Happy
The city of Odis is not a place suitable for governing. This has almost become the opinion of all members of the new party and the old party, because the traces left by Du Lin are too deep, and any new mayor can't change the style and atmosphere here, unless he wants to To move somewhere.
Since this is a small city with no hope like the end, Du Lin has imprinted his brand here. Because of his existence, the city has given off a new brilliance and new vitality. In all walks of life, there are rules that Du Lin made for them. Whoever dares to break this rule is the enemy of everyone. Here, almost everyone's interests are entangled with the interests of the whole. It can even be said that it is not easy for Du Lin to break the rules he left behind.
Especially the Seven Casinos, which is also the economic pillar of the city of Otis. The shares in the hands of each shareholder have cross-shareholding with other shareholders. If you want to poach a shareholder, it may involve four or eight other shareholders. The interests of the shareholders, if you want to balance these four or eight shareholders, then there will be sixteen or thirty-two shareholders whose interests are implicated to stand up. Unless you have all of them in your hands, it is a joke to try to change the rules here.
What's more troublesome is that the land used by the city hall of Otis is all privately owned by Durin. Sixty-four percent of the land in the entire city is owned by Durin himself. Erase the brand from the city?
You can try it, but the ending is definitely not good.
Since I can't resist Du Lin, I can only obey him. Today, with Du Lin's words, Mayor Webster wants to have some ideas of his own, and he will not be unanimously opposed by everyone. He is like Like a hand-picked prince... I don't know why this sentence is a bit ambiguous.
After talking with Du Lin for a few words, Webster stepped aside sensibly, and then members of the Odis City business group came up to meet Du Lin one by one. The word audience may be wrong, but it is the truth.
"Mr. Dooling..."
This sentence kept coming to Du Lin's ears, and it lasted for about ten minutes before stopping. Du Lin took the mayor's car to the largest and most luxurious hotel in the city. He needed to take a rest here and talk to everyone. Let's chat, then we'll be at Nami Lindes tomorrow. Of course, by the way, he has to go around some of his own industries, such as token companies.
The Odis City Token Company has not yet been listed, but the evaluation company on Xie Lisi Street has rated it with a total asset of more than one billion, and this market value is still rising. The reason for this situation is due to Odis The pace of overall development of the city is accelerated. In layman's terms, more and more people come to the city of Odis to gamble, plus more tourists, as a common token throughout the city, it has become an official currency of the city of Odis. In order to ensure the interests of the city hall, Dooling, who was the mayor at the time, established this token company to restrain the seven major casinos.
Gambling in casinos and shopping in business districts in the city need to be settled with tokens, which are provided by the company, and finally these casinos and merchants take the tokens they receive to the token company for settlement. The company recycles tokens and pays in cash, charging a 1 percent fee. Once any company or casino breaks the rules, the token company stops settlement, which means that they will have a huge loss in a settlement cycle. At first, a settlement cycle was only three days, but now everything is on track, and with the support of a more urban system, the settlement cycle has expanded from three days to 21 days, that is, three weeks count as a settlement cycle.
The daily chip throughput of any casino is more than one million,
This is just a bottom line. In fact, well-run casinos like Lucky Casino have a daily token throughput of around 5 million to 10 million. Withholding funds for one settlement cycle can make these shareholders piss their pants!
And Dulin still has the safest move, that is his land!
Therefore, in this city, Du Lin is the king, the only king.
By the way, Doolin also met Buck, Dove's younger brother, and Ernst.
Ernst's expression looked like he had been constipated for a long time. To be honest, he didn't know if this was the life he wanted. The reason why he abandoned the mayor of Illian City and chose to follow Doolin was because Hoxton originally promised that he would nominate Ernst to succeed him as the next mayor after he left office, but Ernst did a great job and made him Horston lived comfortably for eight years, so this bastard who didn't abide by the agreement planned to take Ernst away from Illian and let him continue to be his secretary. This angered Ernst all of a sudden. Wasn't it just for himself to be in power for so many years?
Since Hoxton couldn't do it, he didn't have to continue to serve a person without credit, and then ran to Durin's side.
It can be said that there is indeed a lot of power and wealth here. Even when Mayor Webster wants to formulate new policies, he has to discuss them with him, and finally he agrees to the policies before they are promulgated. It seems that he has about the same power as Webster, but worse is worse, almost worse.
Now Ernst is the chief executive of the Odis City Policy Research Office, and there is another main staff member under him named Barker. It was obvious that these two people were left idle, but Webster was very good at being a man, so they couldn't find any reason or excuse to get angry.
When Du Lin came back this time, Ernst wanted to ask if he still had a chance to be in power.
He is thirty-seven years old this year, and if he fails to get a mayor in the general election two years later, it means that the next opportunity will come when he is forty-seven.
Ten years, how many decades in life can be used to wait? He had waited for Hoxton for ten years, but everything came to naught. He didn't want to wait another ten years, and what he got in return was an uncertain future.
"Du Lin, we have known each other for many years, can you tell me, do I have a chance to become a mayor in this life?" Sitting in Du Lin's villa, Ernst didn't say any nonsense, as soon as he came up The core of the problem was thrown out, "I am not young anymore. If I don't have the opportunity in two years, I may never have the opportunity in this life." Regarding this point, Ernst saw it very clearly, forty-seven Year-old has not yet become the mayor, basically it can be said that there is little hope.
Here, he couldn't beat Webster, and he didn't even have the face to say it. Webster is very powerful, he always holds Ernst high, which makes Ernst feel frightened. Even if sometimes he clearly has a chance to fight back, he will give up after weighing the pros and cons in the end. He felt that he might not be able to win against the new mayor here, so he had the idea of changing another place in his heart, but it was not easy to open his mouth.
Du Lin frowned slightly, "Are you dissatisfied with your current life? I heard that Weber cares about and values your opinion very much. Those people in the city also know that you represent my opinion to a certain extent. In this way Isn't that enough?"
"But I'm not the mayor." Ernst retorted, no matter how powerful and beneficial he is, he is not the mayor. He is just an ordinary government official, not the mayor!
Du Lin chuckled and shook his head, "Is a title that important?"
"You can call me stupid, but for me, that is my pursuit and goal. Dulin, to be honest, do I still have a chance?"
If Ernst didn't talk to Du Lin about these things, maybe he still had a chance, but if he talked to Du Lin about these things, he would have no chance. Du Lin is actually very optimistic about Ernst. At least during his time in Illian, he was able to handle everything properly, making it impossible for people to find faults, and he also had his own ideas about the policy. But suddenly Du Lin realized that this guy was a little too eager for quick success. Is it that easy to be the mayor? In other words, he can't even beat Weber now. Even if he is the mayor, he may not be more comfortable than he is now.
This is his inner demon, Du Lin is very clear about this, but the continuous growth of the inner demon is not restrained, that is Ernst's own problem.
He pondered for a moment and said, "If you believe me, I will give you a chance when the general election is over. I won't guarantee that you will be the mayor of a city, but I will provide you with the best A campaign, ample funding, and a city that doesn't have a clear sideline. If you make it through and become mayor, I congratulate you. If you don't win..."
Ernst suddenly cheered up at this time, he laughed twice, "Then I will accept my fate!"
After a few words to let Ernst leave first, Du Lin summoned Buck. Compared with Ernst who was unwilling to accept the status quo, Buck was much more mature. When Du Lin was here before, Buck didn't feel that work was a difficult thing, but after Du Lin left, he gradually realized the difficulty of work.
In the past, people could give in to Du Lin for the sake of his face. After Du Lin left, he might not be as tolerant as before. Happened more than once.
But generally speaking, tribulation is a necessity for the growth of life. Without tribulation, there will be no sharp blade, which is vividly reflected in Barco.
After entering the door, he didn't call out "Brother Dooling" with a playful smile like before, and then found a place to sit. Instead, he bowed and saluted in an unconventional manner, and called him "Mr. Dooling", even with a sense of awe.
Du Lin nodded with a smile on his face, pointed to the opposite sofa and asked him to sit down, "It seems that you have grown up a lot, which is a good thing." He paused and asked, "How is it, how do you feel about your current life?" Is there any dissatisfaction?"
"have!"
Buck looked up at Du Lin, "I want to go to school!"
