Cosma Empire

"Please sit down..." Powers asked his young wife to bring some snacks and cheap coffee, and then closed the door of the study. The whole study was filled with a "cheap" smell.

The oil paintings on the walls look like mass-produced handicrafts. The chaos of colors and weird painting style make them only attract people's attention once.

Except for some medals and awards, there are no special displays among the things displayed in the cabinet.

Some of the decorations on the table are also very ordinary, without any sense of masters at all, they are all bought from handicraft stores that can be seen everywhere.

Even the coffee placed on the table exudes an inferior and slightly burnt smell.

This is the home of the leader of the new party, which makes many people who come here for the first time shocked by Powers' "poverty". In their minds, even if Powers doesn't have a manor, he should at least live in a villa , instead of living in cheap villas in the remote suburbs of the imperial capital.

Oh, no, since the expansion plan of the imperial capital started, this place has become an inner city, and it is no longer a suburb, let alone a country.

In fact, sometimes Powers himself is very troubled, is he poor?

If we talk about what he has shown now, and the wealth in the real-name account of the Imperial Bank, he is very poor.

But everyone knows that among the greatest policies of the Imperial Bank of China, the anonymous account is very magical. wealth.

As the leader of the populist faction of the New Party, Powers tells himself all the time that his purpose and pursuit in politics is to let more politicians from the populace speak out, and he takes this as his own responsibility.

He represents the politician with the highest status and the highest power on the current political stage, who comes from the common people. While enjoying these, he is also under the scrutiny of people.

If he lived in a luxurious manor, where every decoration cost tens of thousands, and even a cup of coffee for entertaining guests might cost more than ten yuan, what would people think of him?

Is this the populist leader?

So shabby is what he wants to show, and it is also what can unite all populist politicians. Only by uniting and working together can we change the status quo and change the empire.

This trick is very useful,

Except that he himself was a little depressed, there was nothing wrong with it.

The visitor sat down and put the gift on the corner of the table. Powers glanced at it. There was a nice bottle of wine and two small gifts that he didn't know what it was.

"I apologize for disturbing your rest due to the late-night visit!" The visitor who had just sat down stood up when his buttocks touched the chair, and bowed to apologize.

Originally, there was a set of old sofas here. When Powers got angry last time, he dropped something, broke the sofa, threw it out, and replaced it with chairs.

After a few words of politeness, Powers let the visitor sit down, "I believe that you must have something very important to see me at such a time, and I don't know where I can help you?"

For these capitalists, especially non-aristocratic capitalists, Powers has always been friendly.

The visitor didn't say anything around and went straight to the topic of this visit, "Your Excellency Powers, our group has recently cooperated with some other people on a new project, but now we have encountered some problems and need your help. help."

Powers nodded noncommittally. He didn't express anything, and the visitor continued talking.

"I believe you must know Ms. Dilsina..."

Powers hesitated, "Yes, I know Ms. Dilsina."

In fact, there is still a small rumor that cannot be verified. It is said that when Powers joined the secret society of Magus in the early days, he pursued Dirsina in private.

There was an eleven-year age difference between the two, but Powers did not give up because of these and other factors, and pursued Dirsina relentlessly.

After more than half a year, Powers suddenly gave up this idea, turned to pursue his first wife, and got married soon.

Some people pointed out that Dilsina was very disgusted with Powers' pursuit, and she just kept taking care of his face. Since he had been working for Magus and was very important, she didn't speak ill of each other.

But in the end, he couldn't help but say a lot of hurtful things, completely cutting off Powers' thoughts.

This rumor can no longer be verified, and not many people know it. Except for those who have returned to the embrace of God, other people who are still alive remain silent.

At that time, some people believed that Powers' purpose was to marry Dilsina to gain the opportunity to step into the noble circle, and Dilsina was also Magus's sister, so that they would become a family.

When the power changes in the future, his chances will be even greater.

During that short period of time, Powers' feeling and position were far less "firm" than they are now.

At least some people who know these things will not regard him as a firm leader of the populist faction, but just a failed representative of the opportunistic faction.

Although these things cannot be verified, but since they exist, it is not unreasonable.

Perhaps this is the fundamental contradiction between Powers and Duhring. Duhring and he also came from the common people. What he failed, Duhring did, and he did it better than him.

This will also make his past scars more painful, and in the marriage between Durin and the Timamont family, Durin has more initiative.

And he was just a fool who didn't know how to be ridiculed.

After a brief absence, Powers pursed his lips. His mood was changing quietly, and he was also a little vigilant, "But I am not familiar with Ms. Dirsina, and I have only met a few times."

The visitor was obviously unaware of these rumors that had existed, and he began to explain the purpose of his visit in detail.

"We have reached some cooperation intentions with some nobles in the north, as well as the Imperial Central Bank and Ms. Dirsina, and we are actively advancing."

"Currently we have encountered some small troubles and need your help. You know, sometimes we are always weak in multi-party cooperation."

"Without a respected and recognized background, we have to face more provocations and embarrassments, and this is the purpose of my visit to you."

Powers is very fond of this now, he likes to show his image as a lighthouse for civilians, and behind these things, there are other deals.

His response was very simple, "Say it!"

The visitor smiled, "I heard that you are very familiar with Mr. Schneider, and now we need Mr. Schneider's help, but he has no answer to our sincerity, so we can only turn to you for help! "

Powers thought for a moment, then nodded, "Within my ability, I will give you the necessary help. This society has been unfair since its birth. If we cannot unite, it will be a disaster." greater disaster."

"What is your project, and how do I need to contact Schneider?"

The visitor smiled slightly, "Mine, the mineral reserves in Yagur Mountain are very rich, and even large-scale mining is enough to last for more than 20 to 30 years."

"It's an astonishing amount of wealth, and it's unfair to us and to society as a whole that it's been buried in the ground. Only by extracting it can we create more value and provide more jobs for the empire."

"The group attaches great importance to this cooperation project, and has sent many elite backbones to follow up and complete some preliminary work. Some of them will be entrusted with important tasks and become partners of the new company. Some of them are familiar to you. .”

Powers shook his head after listening carefully. He didn't ambiguous what he said for some reason, but said very bluntly, "This is unlikely to happen. If it's just a small matter, I can help you, but in On the issue of the mineral deposits in the Yagur Mountains, even I am not qualified to intervene."

"You may not be aware that after exploring some of these mineral resources, the Imperial Cabinet allocated all the mining areas in the Yagur Mountains to Ambiluo State. Governor Durin is very firm on the issue of mining these mineral resources."

"Even if I can convince Schnoeder, I can't convince Durin. He is the real governor of Ambiluo State."

"And I..." Powers laughed a few times, "Everyone knows that the relationship between me and Du Lin can't be accurately described as bad. I don't think he will agree to this project."

"If it's salvageable, I think you'd better get out of the project, it's clearly not going to happen."

What Powers said is very clear and clear, and it can be said that it is very correct, and he did not make a promise because of some emotional reasons.

Du Lin is a bastard covered in thorns. When there is no conflict with him, as long as he gets close, he will be stabbed all over his body. If there is a conflict of core interests, it will be even more difficult to contact.

He didn't intend to say another word to that bastard, and it was such a stupid thing.

But the visitor was obviously not convinced by Powers, he smiled mysteriously, "What if I say that Mr. Duhring has actually agreed?"

"Impossible!" Powers decisively refused to believe this sentence, "My understanding of Duhring is much deeper than that of the people behind you, even if you use his political life, or his Family, or anything you think is very important to threaten him."

"He watched you destroy everything, and then he destroyed you. He is an extremely selfish person. For his own goals and interests, he can give up everything."

The visitor also kept nodding in agreement with Powers' words, and then continued, "But he loves his wife, and Ms. Dilsina happens to be his wife's mother..."
