When durin shouted to contract the transportation capacity of the two naval bases, everyone in the room focused on him. Compared with the friendly eyes of the commander-in-chief, most of the other businessmen had complaints and disgust.


    Because Dooling broke their "interim plan"!


    If Dooling had not stood up and directly broke the environment they had created with tacit understanding, they could have forced the navy to make compromises and concessions.


    Think about it. No one in the navy was willing to contract after Jess reported the price to the school. It was obviously Colonel Jess and even the commander-in-chief. In the face of the silent hall, they may not give in to the price in the end, but they will give you some compensation elsewhere, or even extend the additional contract period.


    This is a very common and practical "basic operation" in the commercial society. It is like in the asset auction held by local governments, participants don''t even need to contact and discuss in advance, they know not to shout what they don''t need, and try to give up the offer when someone bids for the second time, To ensure that everyone can get these things at the lowest price from the auction.


    This is why it often appears in newspapers that a city hall auctions some industries with a market value of one million, and the final income is only 670000 or 700000.


    We all have a tacit understanding. Especially on such occasions today, when the Navy''s quotation is obviously unreasonable, we keep exerting pressure on the Navy through silence to make them realize that these partners are not without temper, and they must compensate!


    But durin''s appearance broke their tacit understanding and aborted their plan.


    It seems that they can maintain the previous pressure as if they keep their mouth closed, but in fact, there is a poor understanding.


    If Du Lin doesn''t stand up and contract the remaining capacity of the two naval bases, the Navy will start to reflect on whether the price they give is too high, which exceeds everyone''s psychological bearing price, making their contracting risk greater, and even causing huge losses.


    With such thinking, when these businessmen next put forward some requirements that may be slightly excessive, as long as they do not make the Navy feel that they are messing around, the Navy will certainly agree. After all, their offer is unreasonable.


    But after Dooling shouted out, the navy would think that the price was reasonable. Look, Mr. Dooling, the Navy''s most reliable partner, won both bases at one go. Other people didn''t think the price was high, but their nature as businessmen made them eager for more benefits.


    Under different understanding of things, the Navy will have different reactions, and as a violent organ and a military organization, when the Navy believes that the fault does not belong to its own side, it is impossible for them to compromise.


    In the face of the angry eyes of many people, Turin was not guilty at all. In the past, he dared to fight against the great nobility and consortia when he was just a "mud dog leg". Now with the bonus of aristocracy and becoming the governor of ambillo, there would be no people or forces that frightened him in this empire.


    The commander-in-chief looked at Du Lin with a satisfied smile. What he had said to Du Lin worked. Of course, he was also a little angry, because that sentence was not only said to Du Lin, but also to others.


    The two naval bases contracted by Dooling are located on the east coast and the west coast. The combined annual contracting cost is 12 million, which is about 5 million more than the transportation cost before. It can be said that he has lost a lot.


    But everything has two sides, especially Dooling, who has always cooperated happily with Thomas and the Navy. It''s too simple to recover the loss from it. He thinks he can even make a lot of money!


    Moreover, he believed that the Navy could not have made such a high price without making an investigation, or they still had some matters not disclosed, which could balance the psychological imbalance caused by this part of additional expenditure.


    Or other things are interfering with the current situation of the Navy. Maybe this is the last chance. After all, there will be a change of office. After the old party comes to power, we all know that they will not allow the navy to participate too much in commercial affairs.


    The army should do what the army should do to generate income?


    That''s against the principle!


    During the whole process, Thomas sat aside without saying a word. After Dooling sat down, he quietly raised his thumb, but he still didn''t reveal any information.


    With Dooling as a "breakthrough", many people began to contract what they needed, but the atmosphere was not as warm and harmonious as expected. After all, it was all reluctantly.


    The navy has a total of 16 military bases in the Empire, but only nine military bases have contracted out the remaining capacity, and there are seven naval bases. No one is willing to obtain the remaining capacity by contracting. Maybe they have other plans.


    Some of these areas do not have much transportation demand, while others are close to the north.


    The North has always been the territory of the great nobility. Ordinary enterprises are difficult to survive there. Moreover, the great nobility have their own transport ships. They can have sufficient transport capacity without relying on the Navy.


    When the new "bidding" meeting was over, the commander-in-chief asked Jess to entertain these guests, and asked Thomas to take Turin to the commander-in-chief''s office.


    This made Dooling understand that he was right!


    Without hesitation, he supported the Navy''s reform in convenient operation. He was the first to take the initiative to determine his position, so that he could get more benefits than others.


    After entering the commander-in-chief''s office, Thomas withdrew to the door, leaving the two of them in the room.


    "Sit casually..." the chief commander gave an order, and then came over with two cups and a bottle of wine. He poured a glass for Turin. "I want to thank you for what you have done before, at least to preserve our dignity."


    Holding the cup, Du Lin said modestly, "this is what I should do, and my cooperation with the navy has been maintained for many years, and there have been no differences. I believe the Navy will not disappoint partners like me, right?" Du Lin raised his glass, "Your Excellency the commander in chief


    "Of course, of course!" the commander-in-chief touched the wine glass with Du Lin, and they drank a little to moisten their throat. "You can call me tskane, which is the name between friends!"


    Dooling put the glass on the table, took out a cigarette and handed it to tskane. "So we are friends?"


    Tska nodded as he took the cigarette. "Always!"


    He turned and sat down behind the table. He put the cigarette on the table. "Well, it''s time to talk about the previous topic. I have to thank you for breaking the deadlock so that I won''t be so embarrassed, so I''ll give you a contract different from others!" he took out a document and put it on the table, raised his chin slightly and motioned for Du Lin to have a look.


    Turin held the cigarette in his mouth with some doubt. He opened the document and looked down line by line. Then his face was thoughtful. A few minutes later, he took out his pen and signed his name.


    "Don''t you need to call your friend to talk about the details inside?" tskane picked up the document, looked through several places that needed Dooling''s signature, and asked curiously.


    Du Lin replied with a smile, "as you said just now, we are friends. There will be no deception and injury between friends. I believe you!"
