The old nobles in the north are a force that can not be ignored. Although these nobles have lost their titles, their social class has never changed. They just lost their control over their territory and lost their life and death to ordinary people, but they are still the former aristocrats in economy and politics.
The silver and gold stamping mark on this document belongs to the hymn family and should now be called the hymn consortium.
This family is said to have existed for a long time. Their ancestors were not imperial nobles, but priests. As for why a priest became an aristocrat, according to the chant family, their ancestors cured an acute disease that broke out on the emperor at that time. In order to thank the priest for his outstanding contribution to the Empire, the emperor canonized the priest as a nobleman of the Empire.
This is the origin of the hymn family. It has been extended from becoming an aristocrat to today. The wealth and contacts accumulated over hundreds of years are enough to make them have great power. If it were not for the successful usurpation of power by margus and the overthrow of the decadent old rule, perhaps they would not need to "ask for instructions" from Turin and directly order Turin to give up a gambling card.
This is a troublesome thing. The troublesome thing is not that the other party has strong financial resources, but the contacts they hold in their hands. Once Dooling decides to refuse their request, they may find Harry''s head, or even Maggs''s head, to put pressure on themselves.
As some people say, nobility is always nobility and always wears a pair of trousers.
He put down the documents in some trouble. It is absolutely impossible to want a complete gambling. Gambling and the rules he formulated for the city are the fundamental to maintain his interests and keep the city going according to his planned route. There is absolutely no compromise. Moreover, some things are not because the specific content cannot be compromised, but for the sake of position, dignity and dignity.
If today''s opponent compromised because he was an old aristocrat from the north, what would others think of him? You may think that Dooling is actually a bully. He can honestly refuse the requirements of those capitalists. He also said that it is impossible to have a sole proprietorship casino. As soon as he turns around, he gives up the gambling cards to the hymn, which will create a gap between him and all his supporters.
Maybe another large consortium will come here tomorrow to seek a gambling card. The day after tomorrow, another consortium will appear. Finally, he will not only lose face, but also lose his reputation.
So anyway, we must clench our teeth and hold on.
Of course, the situation is not so bad. He is just preparing for the worst. According to the plan agreed by him and MARGES, they will not move him or give him too much pressure until it is completely realized.
If the other party is willing to follow the rules, he doesn''t mind allowing a loud name to enter the core circle of OTIS. But if the other party doesn''t intend to follow the rules, he will also teach the other party how to be a man.
Let go of the document for the time being. He suddenly looked up and saw dove standing on one side, "you can find a press officer for us as soon as possible!". Seeing dove leave the office to carry out his orders, Du Lin opened the second document. This is a plan for the urban public transport route. The public transport operation company needs the mayor''s final signature before it can completely determine the route.
At this time, outside the window behind Dooling, in a corner of the street, hagerson was sitting in a restaurant and was being interviewed by Alice. For hagerson, it''s definitely a pleasant morning with a delicious free breakfast and a pleasant beauty.
"What do you think is the most unusual place in this city?", Alice''s eyes glittered with satisfaction. It was obvious that this young man was much better than mayor Turin. Under her guidance, the young staff had begun to cooperate with her ideas. Although I feel that this guy''s temperament is a little different from that of ordinary people, she has ignored it in the interview process with great news value.
She still needs to continue to guide. The young talent will keep up with his "rhythm" and say what he needs. "I heard that many people in the middle and north of the Empire regard this as a new paradise, isn''t it?"
Hagerson held the ear of the coffee cup and nodded, "it''s true. There are many opportunities here. No matter a worker or a businessman, you can find the possibility to realize your dream here. The imperial dream is not far away. It''s close to us. As long as you are willing to reach out, you can touch it!", Hagerson smiled and put the tea cup into the cup and dish, sipping his wet lips. "This is the biggest difference from other places. Anyone can find opportunities and hope from here."
Alice''s eyes were a little confused. She woke up with the fall of hagerson''s voice. She thought the young man would say some hot things, but she didn''t expect him to say such an official statement, which made her a little doubt whether she had led the wrong way or the guy''s brain had been washed out.
With a dry smile, she continued to ask, "I heard some news from somewhere. It is said that the mayor of this city acts as an umbrella for some illegal businesses. It is precisely because of this behavior that they increase their investment here, isn''t it?"
Hagerson showed some surprised expressions, "God, I don''t know where you heard these terrible rumors, but I think you can understand the authenticity of these rumors with your IQ, Miss reporter. This is simply an impossible thing. As I said just now, people invest here because it is full of unprecedented potential and hope. As for the illegal students you said It doesn''t exist here. "
non-existent?
Alice herself is a little confused. She has said in great detail, and even said something she shouldn''t say, but it depends on the other party''s reaction... Did I make a mistake when collecting information?
Alice was a little confused at this time. She decided to ignore what the guy named hagerson said, picked up the notebook for recording, turned a few pages forward, found some exciting topics, and then asked: "I have read several reports and learned some facts. Some time ago, mayor durin instructed the police chief Haite to kill some innocent citizens in the hall of the imperial central bank. What do you think of this?"
Hagerson smiled and shook his head, "Madam, I think there is a big problem with your interview position. First of all, I must tell you that the legal ruling for slandering an ordinary person to make false news is different from that for slandering the mayor of a city to make a series of false news. For the former, you may only need to compensate for some reputation losses, but for the latter, you may face imprisonment."
"At the time of the incident, I had not come to Otis City, but I had a more real understanding of the incident. It was said that some expelled citizens clashed with the police chief Haite, and tried to seize the pistol of the chief Haite and attack him. After the warning was invalid, the police officers around the chief Haite did it to protect the pistol from being taken away and the safety of the chief Haite Shot the thugs. "His face was very serious, and he had no previous smile." the wounded died because of excessive blood loss on the way to narindus and returned to the embrace of God. What you heard is just rumors. "
"But..." Alice was unwilling to continue the "interview", but hagerson didn''t give her the chance.
He picked up his napkin and touched his lips, then stood up and bowed politely, "thank you very much, madam, for your generous hospitality. It''s time for my work. You should know that as a member of the city hall, we have strict work and rest time. In order to avoid being bothered by my superior, I have to go first!" , he looked at the watch on his wrist. The bright diamond reflected the light that blinded people''s eyes in the sunlight.
"The coffee is very pure and the muffin is delicious. Bye!"
Looking at hagerson''s leaving figure, Alice suddenly felt whether she had made a mistake. When she came back to her senses, the waiter had stood aside with a smile with the bill. "Dear lady, do you pay in cash or by check?"
Looking at the dazzling figures on the bill, Alice had a desire to go crazy. She flipped through her handbag, patted the last few coins and a five dollar note on the table, stood up angrily and walked towards the door. After two steps, she came back, picked up the unfinished coffee and motionless muffins on the table, gobbled them up and stared at the man The waiter left quickly.
It''s over. I don''t even have the fare to go back!
Donald was a little strange when he met hagerson at the gate of the city hall. The smile on this guy''s face gave people a kind of... It was like the joy of a thief stealing valuable property. He couldn''t help leaning over and asked, "what''s so happy?". Since they "relaxed" together that night, the relationship between them immediately became much better.
Hagerson looked back at the restaurant in the distance, shrugged his shoulders, "I met a fool!" and couldn''t help laughing.
Indeed, Alice seemed to him to be a fool. Although hagerson had his own pride and looked down on ordinary people, he was born of an aristocrat, and he was born of a great aristocrat. He knew when to say what to say.
He can speak ill of Turin and bear the consequences, which may cause problems in the plan built by the family for him.
He can also, like just now, not say anything good about Turin, but not say anything bad about Turin.
Even if he disagrees with Dooling, the struggle should not be expanded.
This is the inside story.
From a series of factors such as identity, status, family and environment, it is difficult for ordinary people to catch up with the political literacy.
