Dooling''s rules are the rules of the city. No one is allowed or can shake the rules here. Whether you are a royal family or an ordinary businessman, there is no room for bargaining in principle. Even if they use their contacts to pressure Turing to bow his head, Turing will not give up his principles.
When Ernest was about to say something, solo raised his hand and stopped him.
Solo didn''t show any displeasure on his face, but smiled. It seemed that Turin''s refusal had not affected his mood at all, "Mr. Du Lin, I can understand that every official has his own political aspirations and governance philosophy. I admire all people who have dreams and persistence. However, the society we need to face is not our ideal society. Sometimes we have to do something against our will."
"This does not mean that you have abandoned your insistence. It is just a flexibility, a flexibility needed in the process of pursuing the ultimate ideal. As Ernest said, there is no big consortium in Otis, some people are still watching, and a guide is needed here. What we can bring is not only a large amount of cash investment, but also a lot of money Population aggregation effect. "
"When many consortia and big capitalists gather here, even if you don''t have any plans for urban development, we will help you turn this city into a city beyond your imagination. I have this ability and confidence. We just need to communicate some of the problems between us."
"Then, Mr. durin, can you tell me what prevented us from reaching an agreement? I think with the efforts of both sides, this problem may be overcome."
Turin pursed his mouth and pondered for a moment before raising his head and saying: "Mr. solo, thank you very much for your understanding. If you don''t ask for a complete casino operation license and are willing to cross hold shares with others, I will definitely raise my hands to welcome the entry of the hymn consortium. But if you want a complete license, please forgive my rudeness. It''s impossible."
Solo looked at Turin with a smile and didn''t interrupt him. He nodded from time to time to show that he had listened to him. He did give Turin a good impression. There was no arrogance or arrogance in Turin''s imagination. He thought that what they proposed must be completed, so Turin would continue to talk to him.
"When I came here, it was just a deserted city, so I set the current development plans for the city, which means the formation of rules. If I break my rules myself, it will only cause more and more troublesome problems. Here, in my city, my principle is the rules here, and I don''t intend to break it."
Solo nodded with a smile and said, "I can understand your idea. Is there any method that can be accepted by both of us between our differences? For example, we can not have a gambling card with complete power, but we have absolute control of more than two casinos, don''t you think?"
"It''s impossible, Mr. solo, my position can''t be shaken!" durin said firmly, which made solo realize that the task he won''t be able to complete.
Solo sighed, shook his head, stood up, and took the initiative to reach out. "It''s a pity that we can''t reach our intention. Maybe we still have a chance to cooperate in other aspects, don''t you think?"
Dooling reached out and shook his hand. "I believe it''s for sure!"
"Let''s leave first. We have to leave by steam locomotive in the evening. We have to find a place to rest and see the city by the way."
"I''ll send you..."
After walking out of the city hall, solo looked back at Turin''s back and shook his head. He turned to Ernest. "I remember you said they had elected a successor?" Ernest nodded and said that it was not a secret inside the new party. After Turin left, Donald would take over his job and become the mayor of the city.
According to the Convention, Donald can''t take over the importance and particularity of the city. However, for this matter, the people behind him have almost exhausted that relationship. It can be said that he has exchanged his future "potential" for a chance to gamble. In addition, Otis needs a "wader" after becoming a special zone If the pool is not deep, Donald, who is obedient and has no successor, will become a good candidate.
He has successfully controlled the city, and he can be sent to other places in the general election two years later. If he can''t control the city, he can also be sent to other places two years later. He is a touchstone, and he will succeed here for only two years at most. No matter what the result is, he is not the one who finally enjoys the fruits of victory.
Donald himself knows this, but he doesn''t care. A mayor brings more meaning to the family than anything else. He is willing to gamble once.
"Donald? Good. Let''s contact the future new mayor." , solo didn''t seem angry with Turin, but in fact he was very unhappy. At this time, it was the most critical time for the heirs to compete for the right of inheritance. Any slight change could make any heir lose all his previous achievements. He failed, but his cousins succeeded. No matter how difficult they did, he lost.
Ernest immediately understood what solo meant. He called Donald and arranged for more people to come. They needed to change their way a little.
Donald was still looking through some papers in Otis when the telephone on his desk rang and scared him. He rubbed his eyes, picked up the phone and put it in his ear. His expression was a little different. He quickly hung up the phone, simply cleaned up and left the city hall. In a restaurant not far away, he met the person who had just called him - Ernest.
"I''m very sorry to ask you to come out during your working hours. I hope you can understand.", Ernest first apologized for his behavior, then asked him to sit down, and introduced Mr. solo to him. "This is the leader of the generation of the caper family, Mr. solo.", for a guy of small noble origin like Donald, Ernest doesn''t need to introduce anything more. It''s enough to put forward the surname of caper.
Sure enough, Donald, who had already sat down, stood up again and bowed slightly to show his respect for the surname.
For a big family like the capers, a crooked mouth can make him fall, so he has no capital to stand up in front of solo.
Solo pressed his hand with a smile, let him sit down and nodded.
"Do you know about the seven casinos to be built in Otis?" as soon as Ernest finished his words, Donald nodded and admitted that he knew about it. At the same time, he was also thinking about the purpose of inviting himself. Ernest continued: "we are going to win one of the gambling cards. We need your help."
"Me?", Donald looked at Ernest in surprise, "I may not be able to help you with this matter, because it was personally caught by Turin, and I can''t get involved. Moreover, I heard that Turin doesn''t intend to give anyone a complete casino. He divided each casino into 20 parts, and even he abides by it."
Ernest explained with a smile: "no, I don''t mean to persuade Mr. Turin to agree to our requirements, but to help us persuade Mr. Turin when necessary."
Just now, Ernest called back to the family and told the family owner Turin''s attitude. Because they were leaving here in the evening, they couldn''t continue to consult with Turin and had to hand it over to other delegations. Originally, in their view, this is a matter that can be caught easily. No one will object to such a good thing - it is indeed a good thing. All city halls want to get a license at a premium and are willing to continue to invest cash in the city.
Many consortia invest in an industry or field of a city, which is often tens of millions. In fact, this is a "total investment". Specifically, in reality, they will divide the total investment into many periods, each with only a little money, and not necessarily all cash investment. As for whether we can really invest the expected total investment in the end, that is another thing.
But durin refused their kindness. Solo kept his demeanor and dignity on his face, but he was not very happy in his heart. He has called Harry and will visit Harry himself if necessary.
Harry''s back is also the northern consortium, which has a good relationship and contact with the hymn consortium. If Harry is under pressure and others are beating drums around Turin, Turin may compromise when he feels he may not be able to support this pressure.
He is just a country mud dog. He has many things he can''t resist. Even if his resume is full of legend, he is still not the opponent of the old aristocracy. How could the northern aristocrats lose to a mud dog leg after accumulating hundreds of years of experience?
Donald glanced at solo, and solo nodded slightly, but without any indication. Ernest continued, "some changes will happen soon. Then we need your help. Of course, in return, we will pull you when you need our help. This is a promise from the capex family."
Donald thought it over and thought it was nothing. He just persuaded Turin. He didn''t want him to do anything else, so he could get the friendship of the Kape family. It was a cost-effective business. He agreed immediately.
