Alexander''s hesitant decision is in everyone''s heart. Not everyone can let out his interests with great atmosphere. He has been a hotel for half his life, and it is impossible for him to do other things. His so-called desire to partner with Dolin is actually a long-term investment. He took out money to join Dooling''s plan, and then paid him dividends in proportion every year, which is much better than being in a bank.


    But when durin pointed out that he had a gold mine in his hand and wanted to partner with him, he hesitated.


    He didn''t know how to answer this question. If he answered yes, did he really intend to partner with him in the hotel industry? Did it mean that he was no longer the person in the company who could decide anything with one word? Did it mean that there was a share of the money that could be made in the future? If you don''t want to answer, will there be a crack in the relationship with Turin, and will it make Turin feel like a very stingy person?


    In front of money, no one can be generous, especially when the money involved may be calculated in millions.


    Turin suddenly laughed. He patted Alexander on the shoulder, looked at him with some blank eyes and said: "Well, I''m not kidding you. Where can I have money to build hotels everywhere? I''m just kidding, but what I said is my real view. The hotel industry has great potential for development. It''s better to do something familiar to myself than do something strange."


    He patted Alexander on the shoulder. After they touched the cup, Turin left temporarily.


    After the banquet, Scott found Turin again. He was also present and heard Turin''s "high opinion" Scott is from the city hall. He can only say a little about business operation, but he is very good at and concerned about politics. Just as Dooling said, the economy of the empire is recovering rapidly from the post-war collapse, which has begun in the imperial capital and more developed areas.


    The high level of the Empire believes that this has a great relationship with the ruling concept of the new party. Compared with the rigid ruling mode of the aristocracy, the ruling concept of the new party is more in line with the current situation of the Empire and closer to the international trend.


    Why did the Empire lose to the monkeys of the Federation in the patriotic war? It''s not that the Empire''s weapons are inferior to each other. In terms of weapons, the Empire''s sophisticated war weapons and weapon carrying platforms can be said to be superior to the weapons of the Federation. What made the Empire almost lose the war is the problem of economy, but the problem of soft power. At least a best weapon carrying platform can be firmly held Ten times the number of federal combat units of the same level, but the problem is that there are not 10 from the Federation, but 20, 30 or even 50 from the Federation.


    Like the tsunami, it directly destroyed the Empire''s defense line. When the Empire began to take it seriously and fight back, it was embarrassed to find that their production capacity could not keep up with the money! This also made the Empire realize the importance of economy. The first thing the new party did after coming to power was to liberate the royal family and nobles from suppressing businessmen during the imperial period, which improved the Empire''s economic environment A rapid recovery.


    Like many options, liberalizing those businessmen and their capital has not only achieved effective returns, but also brought some trouble, such as monopoly.


    From a political point of view, monopoly is an unhealthy business model, but in order to quickly restore economic strength and rebuild the foundation of the Empire, the Empire had to let go of power at that time. But now the empire is a little helpless to those big capitalists and consortia who are crazy. They occupy an absolute leading position in various industries and touch their sensitive nerves It''s like poking a hornet''s nest.


    This is related to the current social stability and sustainable development of the whole empire. Each trust enterprise represents hundreds of thousands or even millions or more employees behind them. If so many unemployed people suddenly appear in the society, we can imagine the extent to which the public security will be destroyed! The empire can''t solve the trust problem, so we can only think differently They no longer want to dismember these trust enterprises, but want to manage them in a controllable way.


    But another problem arises. Although the Empire has a department in charge of business, it actually does not have any power, because power is firmly controlled by the members of the imperial chamber of Commerce. Those people of the chamber of Commerce will only think that the power in their hands is not large enough and the capital has not been fully free. How can they make rules to restrict themselves This has become a conflict point. The new party wants to take back the power of the chamber of Commerce, but the chamber of Commerce resolutely refuses to give it back!


    Scott came to Turin to ask if there was anything that could solve this problem. In fact, Scott didn''t think that Turin could do it. The reason why he came to Turin was simply to marvel at Turin and his performance at the party. Maybe he could say what effective way to do it. However, he was disappointed soon. This was not something that Turin could solve. Capital itself was a problem Harmless, but driven by interests, it becomes troublesome.


    In another world, in order to break up the monopoly of all walks of life, western countries do not know how many people died and how many shady transactions they made before they let the monopoly exist in a form acceptable to everyone. Here, Turin thinks that he, including Scott and the mayor behind him, can''t do this!


    In the evening, Alexander contacted Turin. As a thank-you for helping him solve his doubts today, he invited Turin to participate in a card game, which means that Turin has successfully integrated into illian''s social circle and has a certain status.


    You should know that gambling in Yaoxing empire is an illegal act. Gambling has been labeled seriously since the theocratic era. In the earliest period of *******************************************************************************************. Under the background of that era, anything connected with the devil or the devil would not be better. Many people who gambled openly were tied to the judgment post and burned alive.


    Sometimes religion does have some problems of over correction. Of course, it can also be understood as the characteristics of the times.


    In the subsequent imperial period, gambling and the opening of casinos were also prohibited. Any game with money as chips or cash settlement can be regarded as gambling. The reason why it is so strictly prohibited is not that things happen for no reason. In the early days of the Empire, many people lost their property because of gambling, including their land, houses and everything they could sell.


    Some of them became slaves in order to repay their debts, but some others went astray. They obtained more money for gambling by committing crimes and hoped to repay their debts by cutting their own money, which formed a vicious circle. In order to put an end to this behavior, the imperial law directly copied the theocracy law and imposed heavy sentences on all those who opened casinos and participated in gambling.


    Just like some things, the more you prohibit them, the more they spread among the people. After the high-pressure period, this game mode loved by everyone is resurgent again. Maybe the royal family also understands that some things can not be prohibited by issuing a decree, so they modify the terms and turn a blind eye. As long as the amount of gambling is small, they don''t care much.


    In fact, folk gambling is not serious, and it is not much, because everyone has little money. However, this behavior is more common among the rich. At the same time, only the rich with good relations will organize card games and invite friends to join. This obviously criminal behavior makes these rich people feel exciting, deepen their friendship with each other, and kill time at the same time.


    Durin agreed to the invitation from Alexander without much consideration. He also wanted to see what gambling in the world was like.


    The game was on the fourth floor of the Alexandria Hotel, in a suite. When durin stepped into the room, the game had begun. Five people sat at a table with cards in their hands. After they said hello to Dooling, the game continued. They couldn''t integrate into new players until it was over. Dooling didn''t intend to sit down and play immediately. He had to see what their game was like first.


    After watching it for a little while, he got a general understanding of the rules of this kind of gambling. It was a bit like Blackjack in a dream. Then durin exchanged chips and sat down. The largest denomination was 100 yuan and the smallest denomination was 10 yuan. In fact, everyone didn''t play very much. It was more a way of socializing than a game of cards. Playing cards at this time has become the second, and communication is the first.


    After playing for a while, Dooling gradually became familiar with the rules, and the atmosphere became more relaxed. He casually threw a card into the discard area, asked for a new card and asked, "if I want to buy a boat, who should I find?"


    Alexander was the organizer of the card game, and he invited Turin. Of course, he answered this question. He glanced at the cards of everyone on the table and lost two 100 yuan chips. "Just find the guy Garfield. He is very familiar with the people in the shipyard. You can buy ready-made ones from there or order them. However, if you order them, you may need to wait for a period of time, and they can''t be made so soon."


    "By the way, why do you suddenly want to buy a boat? Do you want to go fishing? Or take the girl for a ride?", Alexander was a little curious. There was no need to use a boat in Turin''s current career, so he naturally thought of other aspects.


    Du Lin withdrew a small stack of chips at hand and replied casually, "I need ships for some business. The cost of shipping is much cheaper than steam locomotives!"
