With the arrival of autumn, the North has begun to cool down. As the city of Otis near the South has begun to cool down, the workers on the construction site are still sweating, but they no longer need iced tea to help them relieve the summer heat. On the contrary, whenever a gust of wind blows, it will make them feel a bone penetrating chill.


    Two gentlemen in suits came out of the station. Their meticulous hair reflected the light of the sun like diamonds. After they waited for a moment, a car stopped in front of them.


    "The wind and sand in this place are too strong." among them, the middle-aged man in his forties complained. He took out a handkerchief to wipe the dust on his shoes, then shook the window and threw the handkerchief out of the gap. It was a high-end handkerchief worth five yuan, but it was just a worthless consumable for a noble man like him.


    His name is solo Pande kumir St. caper. After removing his grandfather, past territory and surname representing theocracy, he can become Mr. solo caper. As one of the leaders of the hymn family generation, he was sent to Otis to try to get a gambling card with complete power from Turin. Sometimes the world is so funny, whether as a former clergyman, a later aristocrat, or a current consortium.


    They should bear more social responsibilities than others and guide people to be positive, but they are the first people to stand up and want to get gambling cards. There is no doubt that this family with "Saint" in its surname wants to run the devil''s business in this new era.


    There are three heirs in the hymn family of this generation, and there are many other brothers and sisters. They need to compete for 13% of the equity in the hands of the owner. For this reason, three elites in their 30s and 40s have been running outside. This time solo was able to seize the opportunity to get Turin''s consent, but his uncle helped.


    There are so many things in the big family that people can''t accept. Even the most bizarre and absurd legendary novels can''t describe two or three tenths. His uncle is his father''s brother and his mother''s cousin. In order not to lose the power of the family, and to ensure that the power of the family is always in the hands of the family, all of them must marry close relatives. Want to marry someone outside?


    Yes, but it''s not a marriage, it''s a business.


    Exchange each other''s family power, or clean out of the house.


    There is no third way to go.


    If solo can become the next owner, he can get 13% of the equity in the owner''s hand. With about 19% of his and his parents, he is already the most powerful one in the family!


    The premise is that he must complete every task, including getting gambling cards that are very important to the family.


    The Empire banned gambling, which made many people with a keen sense of smell immediately aware that a profit storm was coming. Even if you pay high special taxes, you will leave amazing profits. In the past, the hymn family always pursued endless power. In this new era, they pursued supreme profits.


    In this era, politicians can enjoy what they can enjoy. Politicians can enjoy what they can''t enjoy, provided they have money and a lot of money.


    In the car, solo''s secretary, the "young man" in his early thirties, opened the folder in his hand, "Now there are 69 construction sites and 12 newly completed buildings in Otis city. We estimate that more than 150 new buildings will be built in Otis city from the beginning of next year to the middle of the year, no more than three years, and the prosperity here will far exceed that of the imperial capital. Therefore, not only is the wind and sand very heavy now, but the wind and sand will not be too small in two years."


    "Why don''t we help the agent win the position of mayor here?" , he was curious to hear the Secretary around him give a moving answer. If Otis has such great potential, he can push a political agent to become the mayor of Otis, and then indirectly control the city. The city swallowed by them will not spit out again.


    The Secretary knew that solo didn''t know much about things here, and patiently explained that this was his job, "Dulin got a special zone brand from MARGES, and many people are paying attention to the situation here. MARGES regards this as a policy experimental base. He is experimenting with Dulin and the people here, so we can''t intervene in the personnel transfer of Otis through other ways."


    "Unless Maggs steps down and a prime minister who has worked with us takes charge of the cabinet, we will have a chance to arrange our staff here."


    He smiled. "Although we can''t send our people here, we can try to contact the next mayor. Maybe he will be happy to join us."


    "Has the next term been elected?", solo seems not surprised by the Secretary''s words. In fact, everyone already knows that except for the general election, the appointment at other times is only an appointment, not an election, so it means that Turin''s successor has not been selected. "Who is it? Do I know?"


    "He is a little aristocrat named Donald and has no backstage, but he has a good background. He has done dirty work for the royal family and has enough identity with the aristocracy. I believe we will have a pleasant meeting as long as the method is appropriate."


    While talking, the car had stopped slowly outside the city hall. After the driver stopped the car steadily, the Secretary immediately pushed the door out, went around to the other side, opened the door for Solo, and stretched out his hand to let solo borrow some strength.


    "These pillars are good. I like them very much." he raised his head while finishing his makeup. "It would be better if their surface could be pressed with a layer of gold foil. It would be more elegant."


    Solo''s ancestors were clergy, who always liked something magnificent. The secretary just smiled approvingly and didn''t go on.


    After they entered the city hall, they registered with the guard, and led by a young man to the outside of Dulin''s office.


    At this time, Du Lin is thinking about the power composition of the casino. There can be no less big forces and no small forces. Only the big forces entangle with each other can play a role. Even if margus comes, there is no way. Just then someone knocked on the door. He stretched out his hand and made a gesture. The knock sounded again. He patted on the forehead. Dev was "kicked out" by him to find the press officer.


    He left his seat and opened the door. He saw two gentlemen he had not seen. Although he had not seen them, Turin knew that they were either rich or expensive. None of the clothes and accessories they wear is cheap. They can wear tens of thousands of pieces. He has at least millions or even tens of millions of details.


    "Hello, Mr. durin, I''m Ernest, this is Mr. solo, solo caper, and I''m his secretary." Ernest couldn''t help raising his chin when referring to caper, which has a great reputation in the Empire. Except for the nobles and great nobles who have a more distant family history than the hymn family, this surname is absolutely respected.


    "Hello, Mr. solo." Turin smiled and held out his hand. "I just noticed the documents you submitted. I didn''t expect you to come so quickly. Please come in!" he stepped aside, welcomed the two people in, and made them some coffee - reheating the rest of the morning.


    Solo and Ernest took their seats again after thanking them. Turin sat opposite them. The new mayor''s office is much more luxurious than before, and the furniture inside is also very luxurious. The city hall is not short of those money.


    "We have been contacting your secretary, but it seems that the lady has left?" Ernest explained the reason for their sudden visit. After all, it is impolite to come to the door without saying hello to Turin. Ordinary people may not care about this, but aristocrats like them care about etiquette and ceremony very much. "Our itinerary has been booked before, so we take the liberty to visit you today, because we are leaving in the evening."


    Durin waved his hand, "you''re welcome. I''m not a palace here. I can come anytime, anywhere."


    In the whole process, solo was like a sculpture without saying a word. It''s not time for him to speak. Now the communication is completed by Ernest. Solo will speak only when they reach an agreement.


    "Mr. durin, our time is very tight. I''ll tell you the truth. I don''t know what your requirements and views on our demands? If not, we hope to get this result as soon as possible. After all, we are very busy and you have a lot of things to deal with.", Ernest ilian''s sincere expression seems to be thinking for durin, But there was a pride in his eyes.


    It''s your honor that the hymn consortium is interested in your business. Pretending to be reserved will not elevate your status.


    Turin smiled apologetically, "you mean gambling?" Ernest nodded, but Turin shook his head, "I''m very sorry, I can''t agree to your request."


    "Why?", Ernest responded very quickly, "why not? As one of the powerful consortia in the north, the hymn consortium can enter Otis City, which can play a very positive role in the whole Otis city. More consortia and capital will follow our footsteps and make the city more prosperous."


    Durin didn''t contradict him. After he finished, he smiled and said, "but it will break my rules."
