"Do you mean I''ll have some problems when buying the mine?", Dooling soon realized what Mr. fedley meant, but Mr. fedley took care of his face and didn''t speak frankly. At the same time, this was the second time he heard someone tell him that it was impossible to bring the outside things to the West, It looks as if the west is indeed one and has a very different performance from other places.
Mr. fedley nodded, "Of course, it''s the best thing you can understand for yourself. It''s more valuable than what I told you. The biggest problem in the west is that there are few people, but there are a lot of areas. Last year, the number of homicides reported to the police in the West was more than 3400. With those who didn''t report and didn''t find the body, this number will increase exponentially. In other words, every one here About a dozen people will die every day, and even every hour. "
"Your identity, status and reputation in other places are of no use here. Unless you can let people know that you are not easy to provoke and fear you, you may not succeed in everything you do!"
As Mr. fedley said, the biggest problem in the west is that it is sparsely populated. The ecological environment here is relatively poor. Various cities have been actively promoting the expansion of agriculture and animal husbandry. Recently, the only thing that can be sold may be the increase of tobacco leaf fields. Tobacco leaves are also crops. The sales of finished cigarettes in the Empire are rising, and many tobacco enterprises are trying to To meet this rapid and sustained growth, they took a lot of land in the west, hired local people to grow tobacco, and the government will give appropriate tax rebates as incentives.
The greening degree and bad climate restrict the enthusiasm of outsiders to invest here. Coupled with the chaotic and dangerous public security problems, the investment attraction in the West has entered a vicious cycle.
Seeing the bad public security environment and ecological environment, investors hesitated to invest here and even changed their ideas. Without the money in the pockets of these investors as the necessary funds for urban development, if the city cannot develop, the city will lack enough jobs and job opportunities. A large number of unemployed people began to pay attention to public security property under the pressure of life The whole west is a rotten quagmire, and not everyone can manage it well.
It has been more than 20 years since the new party came to power and innovated. In these more than 20 years, at least 14 governors have been replaced in the three western states, but there is no big difference between today''s western region and the western region more than 20 years ago.
Turin nodded comprehensively. He looked around, "I want to make a phone call..."
Mr. Federer immediately pointed to the other door. "The phone is in my study. You can use it."
After thanking Mr. durin, he approached Mr. federley''s study. Different from most people''s study, there were no dazzling books in Mr. federley''s study. All the bookcases were lined with exquisite raw minerals, including gold, silver, gem and crystal, which was like entering a place full of wealth.
His attention was soon recovered from the ores. He dialed the telephone of the temporarily rented stronghold in the city. The young man who connected the line told Turin that they had not come back, but Mr. Andorra called and told him to ask Turin to call him if Turin returned.
After giving a few orders, Turin hung up the phone and dialed Andorra''s number. After two short busy tones in the receiver, he was raised.
"This is Andorra mining..."
"This is Doolin. Please transfer me to Mr. Andorra himself. Thank you!"
After waiting for a little while, a burst of footsteps suddenly occurred in the receiver, followed by a hearty laughter, which appeared in the receiver from far to near, "I''m Andorra. Mr. durin looks very busy?"
Du Lin was stunned for a moment. He frowned and turned around. He went to the window and looked at the hole where ore was pulled out by mining cars not far away. It was dark like a monster''s mouth. "Hello, Mr. Andorra, take the liberty to ask, has our agreement been signed?"
After a few seconds of silence, Mr. Andorra replied, "maybe my answer will disappoint you very much, because our agreement has only my signature, not yours."
"Why?"
Andorra smiled, "some details still need to be discussed, your one..." someone whispered something, Andorra continued: "That Ellis has no way to decide and has not signed for the time being. My personal opinion is that you can come in person, we can discuss it face to face, decide it, and then solve it at one time. What do you think?"
"No problem. I have something urgent outside now. I''ll be back to you at noon the day after tomorrow at the latest." after saying these words, Turin hung up the phone, as if he had forgotten that the purpose of calling was to ask where the people in Ellis went.
But will he forget?
Of course not. He knew very well that the moment Andorra invited him to have an interview in person meant that Ellis might have fallen into Andorra''s hands. What nonsense details needed to be discussed. Turin could imagine that Andorra didn''t want to sell the mine at all, and all his performance was an illusion. What he really wanted to do , it''s for Dooling to come in person.
What will happen if Dooling goes there himself? Nothing more than being kidnapped, extorting a ransom sufficient to satisfy Andorra, and then disappearing on the Gobi.
Mr. Federer''s words came true immediately, which made Turin a little manic and a little complaining about Mr. Jack. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can''t do it, you can''t do it. Mr. Jack also needs to bear part of the responsibility. Of course, it''s not appropriate to mention it now. After he clears Andorra, he will talk to Mr. Jack.
Durin delayed for some time before leaving the study. Mr. fedley, who was smoking, heard the footsteps and sat on the sofa. He looked back. His keen observation immediately noticed that durin was in a mood, "what''s the matter? Bad news?"
Turin rubbed his cheek and sat back again. He picked up a box of cigarettes on the table, smoked it, and then nodded heavily. "My people are trapped in a mine called Andorra mining, and the other party wants to deceive me."
"Andorra?", Mr. Federer is a little strange. He knows Andorra. Most of the mine owners in the west, even if they haven''t spoken, know it because of the existence of the West Mining Association. The western mining association holds a cocktail party twice a year. Most mine owners will be present and meet without talking. As far as Andorra is concerned, according to Mr. Federer''s understanding, he is still relatively low-key. There is no other negative information except the rumor that he has tortured and killed slaves.
But soon Mr. Federer glanced at Turin. If Andorra did this, the problem actually lay with Turin - he was too rich!
Mr. federley in the West has seen reports about Dooling in several Western newspapers. Coupled with the rapid popularity of the telephone, it is not very difficult to investigate and ask for information from a well-known person. Dulin''s previous industries are not counted. The profits of Otis alone are shocking. It has been disclosed that 55% of the land in Otis currently belongs to Dulin.
What is this concept?
He simply relies on these land transfer and rental fees, which is enough to obtain a huge dividend every month, and he will always get it.
Such a rich man coming to the west is like a golden ingot appearing in the den of thieves. People with or without strength will consider whether they can grab the ingot by themselves. The only difference now is that some people are still considering it, but Andorra has already done it.
There were few soft hearted people who dared to open mines in the west, including Mr. fedley. He had a little heart, but it soon disappeared. Because his family lived in the south, he was in his fifties and might not be able to have children, so he gave up the idea.
He looked back at Turin. "What are you going to do? Can I help you?"
"No, thank you. It''s just a small thing. What makes me feel a little troublesome is that I may have to redo my plan for the west, which is the most troublesome!" at the beginning, Du Lin''s idea was simple and rough. He used money to pry the whole western region, not because he was too confident, but because he had such strength. Compared with other regions with more developed economy and higher population density, one or two million people fall every month. In those places, you may not even see water and spray, but in the west, it is definitely not weaker than a thunder!
A large area of land, a rare population, a difficult economic model and strong and simple folk customs can definitely mix these elements and make qualitative changes with the cooperation of a large amount of money.
This is Dooling''s original idea. Now he understands that money is very important, but not the most important. The most important thing is fist! Without the fist that makes everyone afraid, they may not be so obedient. It is the truth that bad children will become good children only after their father''s education!
Durin refused firmly, and Federer didn''t say anything more. He nodded noncommittally, "if you need me, you must tell me. I don''t say anything else here, one or two hundred people can still pull it out."
Federer said so. If Du Lin didn''t say it, he would really be a man. "I''m very grateful for your kindness and help. If I need it, I''ll let you know!"
