As soon as he went to work in the morning, mennong called and made an appointment with an executive member of the Western Mining Association.


    The highest level of the organization structure of WCMC is the "Executive Committee of the Western Mining Development Committee", which is composed of seven executive members. These executive members are elected by the second level structure of WCMC, "the Western Mining Committee", followed by members and associate members. Strictly speaking, there are only three levels, and the boundary between members and associate members has long become very blurred.


    The seven executive members of the Executive Committee are responsible for the daily work arrangement and operation of the WCMC. They formulate relevant plans and objectives, and then hand them over to the WCMC Committee for implementation. It seems that the WCMC with perfect structure and sound rules actually has a very serious problem, that is, the power of the executive members is too heavy. At the beginning of the establishment of the Western Mining Association, they adopted some institutions and regulations from the Federation, but these things may be useful and effective in the Federation, but they may not be useful and effective in the Empire.


    In the simplest way, according to the articles of association, the WCMC will hold a general election every four years, but in fact, the executive members have not changed in the past 13 years because they have too much power and resources in their hands. The simplest point is that almost all the important resources and contacts of enterprises and mine owners who are successfully engaged in trade with the western mining association are in the hands of the Executive Committee. It''s not that if the executive committee is replaced, these people will not be able to continue trade, but they will definitely be affected.


    In addition, the executive members and the committee formed a group, and everyone gradually acquiesced to the fact that they were no longer willing to easily change the current situation, which made the West Mining Association regard the West as its own small kingdom.


    The executive committee member whom mennon met was Matthew, 47 years old. He had five mining areas in his hands, and none of them were ordinary metal mines. He has a copper mine, a bauxite mine, two silver mines and a gold mine. It is said that the gold mine and a silver mine in his hand were not discovered by his own exploration team, but the land auctioned by auction. At least two cases of blood washing of mining areas may involve the big man.


    Matthew ranks fourth among the executive members of the Western Mining Association. In fact, the seemingly United Western Mining Association also struggles constantly. After all, no matter how many mines there are in the west, they have to be discovered by people. The existing mineral resources are not enough to supply the needs of the whole empire. Every year, the major enterprises of the Empire will import a large number of minerals from other countries. Therefore, "mineral resources" is equal to money and power. The more resources that can be allocated in one''s hand, the straighter one''s waist will be when he speaks.


    Mennon originally planned to meet two or three executive members, but unfortunately, the people he wanted to meet found some excuses to refuse to come. In the end, only one Matthew came.


    Matthew was wearing a dark brown vest, a gray suit and a black polite hat. His facial lines are very stiff. Even when he smiles, people will feel doubt. Does this guy want to smile from his heart, or do he have to squeeze out a smile in order to perfunctory.


    "Good morning, Mr. mennon!" Matthew took off his gloves and put them on the table. He held out his hand and then sat down at mennon''s exchange. "I don''t know what I or xikuang will do?"


    Mennon smiled happily, just like the West Mining Association never had a hard top to make him stand down. He also asked his secretary to make coffee for Matthew, "Yesterday, when I was in the hospital, I went to see Mr. Dulin. Mr. Dulin expressed extremely strong indignation to me. He thought that the assassin who assassinated him was likely to come from the Western Mining Association, and told me that he planned to take back the money he cheated by you, more than 11 million, through prosecution!"


    "I don''t know who is right and who is wrong in this matter. I don''t care much about what this matter will become in the end, but I must put the ugly words in front. If there is a very unfriendly friction between the West Mining Association and Mr. Du Lin, I''ll catch whoever has the loudest voice.", after the tough words, mennon''s tone eased a lot, "Dooling proposed two solutions. One is that you apologize to the whole country and pay for the losses suffered by Mr. Dooling. This is the end of the matter." (there is no typo, and the apology is published in the National Journal in the form of a whole manuscript, so it is a whole manuscript, not a notice)


    Matthew snorted, "so there''s another way?"


    "Another way is to let the court decide how to solve the dispute through litigation. However, I don''t think this is the best way. Du Lin has never lost a lawsuit. At that time, you will lose not only your dignity, but also your pants."


    Matthew couldn''t help but say: "Please forgive my rudeness. I also sympathize with what happened to Mr. durin, but these things have nothing to do with the West Mining Association. It''s his deal with those mine owners and has nothing to do with us. We don''t sell the mine to him. As before, we are just responsible for matchmaking and providing a place to sign a contract, that''s all!"


    "Moreover, I need to state that this matter was not passed at the Executive Committee. It is an independent act of a few people, has nothing to do with the Western Mining Association, and they are dead."


    "I have reason to suspect that their death has something to do with Mr. durin!"


    Mennon was not angry after being offended at all. He said with a smile, "but Mr. durin still thought their death had something to do with the killing of people in the west mine!". Looking at what Matthew wanted to say, mennon waved his hand, "Well, well, I''m just responsible for passing a message. After all, this happened in my city. I need to inform you and the West Mining Association. As for how to do it, it''s your business, but one thing, no armed conflict is allowed. This is the bottom line!"


    Mennon has been fooling around on the political stage for several years, and he can''t understand anything. What Turin said provoked him was that he wanted him to deal with the Western Mining Association, and then do something about it. Mennon has seen through Du Lin, that is, a despicable villain. He always secretly seeks benefits for himself after influencing the competition of various forces. But this time, he will be disappointed, because mennon doesn''t intend to follow Turin''s idea.


    He wanted to be a fireman, not a burned firewood. He stirred up the nerves of the Western Mining Association and asked them to fight Du Lin. no matter who lost and who won, it would only be good for mennong.


    If the Western Mining Association loses, he will pick out to represent justice and fairness and step on it, so that the western mining association can never turn over.


    Du Lin lost. With the help of the image of "insolence" of the Western Mining Association, he continued to suppress the Western Mining Association, close their sphere of influence, and then kicked Du Lin out of the West.


    He just needs to watch quietly, fill in a handful of firewood and throw it into the fire occasionally. Why go down and fight with these people in person? That''s what a rude person would do. He''s a civilized person. He always tells himself so.


    Matthew was very angry after he left the city hall. He was really dissatisfied with the other executive members and thought that they obviously put themselves in a lower position in the distribution of rights and interests. However, he also knows that the threat of internal struggle is far less than that of external attack. Internal struggle can turn into a positive and orderly competition. No matter how fierce the fight is, there will be a bottom line. It is nothing more than to eat less when distributing rights and interests next time.


    However, there is no bottom line for external threats. They will kill the Western Mining Association, break up the Western Mining Association, and then throw them into the trash can to become the garbage of the times.


    In the face of external threats such as durin and mennon, the West Mining Association will be very united.


    Matthew went back to the Western Mining Association in the morning and told the remaining four executive members what mennon had told him. We don''t have a particularly good way to face this situation for the time being, because they really deserve it this time. At the same time, they also wrongly analyzed Du Lin''s character. In their opinion, even if Du Lin suffered a loss, he would bite his teeth and stand firm. In addition, he was just dismissed because of an accident. He is in a low tide of life and belongs to the kind of bullying.


    I just didn''t expect that he even shouted out after he suffered a loss, which made people a little unprepared.


    Why do many group companies dare not shout out when they suffer losses? Because they can''t afford the loss of image, this intangible asset is equal to money for all capitalists, even more valuable than money. A good stockbroker will only tell his clients how much money he has made for many people. He will certainly not take the initiative to say such stupid words as "I let my client go bankrupt again". Big enterprises and big capitalists are the same. They need to ensure that their image in front of people is perfect and plump. Only in this way can people continue to believe that this is an excellent enterprise with a group of excellent leaders.


    Several people discussed for a whole morning, but they didn''t come up with any results. The only result that can be called is to let those mine owners return the money to Turin. It''s absolutely impossible to apologize. And all these things must be done in private and cannot be exposed.


    Of course, they also analyzed the door farmer''s mind of watching the excitement through analysis and tongue in mouth curses. They won''t let the door farmer''s mind succeed.


    At noon, Matthew and another executive member had a light meal in the restaurant of the Western Mining Association. During the meal, they cursed the mennong for several words. After dinner, he had to go to the city hall to communicate with the mennong to see if they could find a way acceptable to everyone and end the matter as soon as possible.


    But mennon didn''t intend to be the middleman and refused Matthew''s request, which made Matthew swear when he left the city hall.


    At more than nine o''clock that night, mennong received a phone call.


    Matthew is dead.
