There are not many tourists in Otis in winter, and the whole city seems a little deserted. This is also the off-season that a tourist city needs to bear. Except for one thing, the surrounding business district with the seven casinos as the core is still very lively. Gamblers from the Empire and even the Federation regard it as a holy land. Every day, they can see the birth of the wealth miracle with their own eyes, go crazy with jealousy, and ignore the presence of more wealth black holes.
Everyone believes that God kissed his forehead when he was born, but God sometimes doesn''t kiss with his mouth.
In a slightly remote place, a bar that was full two months ago was empty. Only five or six people sat idly by the bar, listening to relaxed music, drinking wine and enjoying a leisurely time. On the stage, the women from primitive tribes who can''t afford clothes are gone, and the men who seem to be descendants of orangutans with muscle pimples all over are gone. They all go to the casino to seek wealth. No one will choose to stay here to show their poverty who can''t afford clothes to a few dozen guests.
The door of the bar was suddenly pushed open, and the cold wind blew in. Otis itself is located in the Gobi. In winter, the wind is so strong that people feel afraid.
The guests at the bar wrapped their clothes one after another and turned to look behind them. By the door, a guy in a windbreaker and hat was shaking his body. The snowflakes on his body fell to the ground with the violent shaking of his body.
He took off his clothes and hat, gave it to the girl who was responsible for storing things for the guests by the door, and came over with a faint expression of excitement.
The bartender glanced at him and mixed him a cocktail. At the same time, he also hinted that the doorman closed the door. The wind outside was too cold!
"You''re late!" sitting in the middle of the bar, the guy in a white suit smiled and patted the high stool around him, "was it too late to get out of bed last night?" several other guests laughed one after another.
Last night, the late guest called two 17-89-year-old primitive tribal girls to his home to discuss the issue of financial assistance, which is a very sacred thing. Considering the backward social environment of primitive tribes and their need to face natural disasters and natural injuries, he not only helped a valuable sum of money, They also tried to increase the population of primitive tribes.
He shrugged his shoulders, sat on the high stool, took a sip of the glass, and the wine in his mouth was sweet and slightly sour. After a variety of complex flavors, it was the strongest wine flavor.
He put down his glass and raised his eyebrows. "You know, Dooling is leaving Otis!"
The moment he finished saying this, the funny smiles on the faces around him suddenly solidified. It seemed that time was suspended by some naughty god at this moment. Even the bartender stopped wiping the wine glass in his hand and looked at him without blinking.
After about twenty or thirty seconds, these people came back, and their eyes were full of an indescribable luster.
"Are you... True? Dooling is leaving Otis? Where is he going? Other cities or the state government?" the guest sitting on one side hurried over and forgot to bring his own glass.
The late man showed a very proud expression, "you know? I spent 3000 yuan when I bought this message. Don''t you... Need to say something?"
This news is very important, and 3000 yuan is not a big money for people here. The guest sitting in the middle of the bar next to him, who is also the owner of the bar, immediately asked the bar to take 500 yuan out of the cash cabinet and put it on the table.
Others also took out two hundred, three hundred to five hundred dollars and piled them together. The late guy was very satisfied and put the money away. He looked at the friends around him and whispered, "he has been dismissed. It is said that he will appoint him again, but you know, sometimes you can only listen to some words. You can''t believe it!"
The news excited the people around. They can be said to be the beneficiaries of Otis City, but they can also be said to be the losers, because they are all members of the Federation of imperial chamber of Commerce, not the members of Otis City Chamber of Commerce. They are not included in Dooling''s plan to package Otis city for listing this time. They also tried to fight with Du Lin and ended in failure. They knew Du Lin well, so they could only regret to see the opportunity to make money slip away from their own hands.
But now, that guy durin is leaving. Is the dark cloud over Otis finally going to dissipate?
Dooling did turn the city into a gold selling cave, allowing the money of tourists and gamblers to flow into everyone''s pockets, but he also restricted the more "free" development of the city. For some people excluded from the Turin plan, they will feel that Turin is not a qualified mayor because he discriminates against some people and limits their scale and operation in Otis.
Now, there is no need to worry about these things, because Turin is leaving. As long as he leaves, the city will get real liberation and real freedom, which is what businessmen want to see most.
"That''s good news, this cup is mine!" the bar owner clapped his chin after listening. He used to run a bar in nano lindes and also ran some economic emergency services full of love and humanistic care. Bars don''t make much money, but they can borrow, and they make a lot of money. He had thought that there were so many casinos in Otis, which would be full of gamblers who desperately needed money to recover their dignity lost at the gambling table.
However, the reality gave him a stick head-on. These big casinos not only have special lending counters, but also have low interest rates, so that people outside have no food to eat. He can only focus all his attention on running bars. He believes that the loan interest in the casino is definitely not the requirement of those businessmen. It must be Turin who forced them to reduce the interest. Once Dooling leaves, the interest on casino loans increases, and his humanistic care and rescue business can continue.
More importantly, when durin leaves, they will join the Otis listing plan, which is the most important.
In many corners of the whole city, there are always two or three or five people talking about Turin. It seems that the political arena of the whole imperial capital is a sieve with big holes and small eyes, which can''t hide any secrets at all. However, it is also possible that this news was deliberately revealed in order to force Turin to leave as a loser as soon as possible, so as to remove the invincible brand of Turin in the city.
At this time, standing by the window on the second floor, looking at the flashing neon lights around him, Du Lin held a saucer in his hand and the ear of a coffee cup in his other hand. He looked at the heavy snow outside through the glass window and stopped for a long time before turning around, "Let''s not call the police these days and give them a good rest. Before I leave, these people will honestly wait for the moment when they think the sun comes out."
Haizi nodded to show that he knew it. While holding a sharp knife to trim his nails, dufo couldn''t help laughing and said, "before I met you, I only went to the regional prison, but after I met you, I''ve been to too many places. Where are we going this time? South, north or federation?"
Durin smiled, too. He thought it over carefully. It was true that these people moved with him everywhere. Especially in the past three years, they had hardly stayed in one place for more than two years. Most of the time, they did something, and then changed places. He put down the saucer and cup, sat opposite them, and tilted his legs. He pulled out of his extremely comfortable gray jacket He took out a box of cigarettes, took out one, and someone lit the cigarette for him.
He took a deep breath and slowly spit out, "this time we''re going west!"
He won''t go to the South because it''s useless to go. As a region with the strongest capital force and the most open vision and awareness, the South has been firmly occupied by some large consortia and capitalists. They have accumulated enough deep foundation in the past ten years and will never tolerate the emergence of a new player who may shake themselves within their sphere of influence. Du Lin went to the south Fang will certainly receive the best reception and then send him back.
It is impossible for him to go to the north. The Kape family and his old and new hatred have not been settled. Now everyone is busy with their own affairs and can''t control each other. If they move under their eyes, the Kape family will definitely regard it as a provocation, and there will only be war in the next days.
Time is very precious. What Du Lin needs is development and growth, not fighting, so after choosing a circle, he finally put his place in the West.
First of all, the west is relatively backward. There are no capitalists and concerns except wilderness, desert and mountains. The social structure there is relatively simple, but it also has sufficient development potential.
A large number of gold diggers, miners, ethnic minorities and barbarians in the mountains can be developed. More importantly, the tens of millions of funds in Dooling''s hand need to be moved.
By the way, you can also find trouble with mennong and say those embarrassing dialogues in front of him wearing a mask.
Of course, Dooling would never admit that he did it to please Mr. kesma. He was just passing by, that''s all.
