Cosma Empire

Memnon, who had just returned to his villa after the meeting, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. Besides him, there was only one butler and two maids in this villa. Memnon didn't have a wife, but he had several lovers, maybe even a little more, after all, no one knew where Memnon went during those turbulent years, nor did he know if this guy had any love when he was out. Control what's in your crotch.

According to common sense, he can't control it. It is said that he has many illegitimate children, so many that people have long been numb. At the beginning, some people cared about this matter, but soon they found that Memnon himself didn't care about the illegitimate children born from one-night relationships, and their caring was superfluous. Many people are even secretly glad that Memnon has no wife and no official children. In the future, when he is old enough to die, power will not be passed on to his next generation. This is a good thing!

Somewhat weary, Memnon looked to be about sixty years old, with graying temples and graying brown hair, a sign of aging. He has taken good care of himself in the past few years. He doesn't look old like ordinary old people, but when he is old, he is old. There are some things that he can't accept, but even the gods bow their heads in front of time.

The butler has already greeted him. This is an old man who looks about the same age as Memnon. He is tall and a little thin. He is wearing a dress. "Sir, you are back."

Nongmen nodded, and walked into the house. The housekeeper followed behind him. After the two entered the study and closed the door, Memnon sat on the chair and let out a sigh of relief. He looked up at the butler, "How is the investigation going?"

There was a blunt smile on the butler's stern face, as if he couldn't smile at all, "Sir, the matter has a little clue, we followed that girl to Irian, she and a man named Du Lin The young man met. According to our investigation feedback, this young man named Doolin had been in Tener for a while. He was a bootlegger there, and then he was imprisoned for four months for some minor incidents. The gold robbery After the incident, he disappeared and reappeared in Illian."

Memnon asked thoughtfully: "You mean that the gold may be in the hands of this man named Du Lin?"

As the leader of the Progressive Party, one of the most powerful and prestigious people in the party, Memnon knew very well that they were almost about to lose to those old parties. If the 30 million worth of gold used to suppress the Kadima Party had not been suddenly robbed at a critical moment, maybe they would have been pushed back after they surfaced briefly this time. He wanted to thank the gang of robbers who had stolen 30 million gold bricks, but at the same time he was also eyeing the 30 million.

With this 30 million, he will be more confident of winning the ruling power of this state in the mid-term general election half a year later. Once he has control of this state, he can display his ambitions and step by step towards the supreme power of the empire. Powerful amble. He used to think that those who died generously for their ideals were fools, although now he still thinks those people are fools, but he can do such a thing.

He is not for some great ideal,

What he wants is power and money.

He is a businessman, no matter what kind of skin he uses to cover up his essence, it will not change what is in his heart, he is a businessman. He's grateful for those people, including Mr. Cosma, who turned him from a mule dealer into a big shot this year, and he's grateful for his persistence to get this far.

For the supreme power and ideal, he must make 120,000 efforts, the most indispensable of which is money.

He sent people to Tenell to collect clues. The gang of robbers were very clean and could not find much useful information, so he had to let people focus on the only witness who might know the robbers in this case, that is, A lisa. Eight months of close monitoring almost made Memnon give up. If he didn't need the 30 million too much, he might have been withdrawn by someone. Fortunately, just when he was about to lose his patience, the person monitoring Alyssa discovered something unusual.

She went to Illian and met a young man named Doolin who had been in Tenell last year. If this was just an ordinary young man, perhaps those supervisors would give up after paying attention for a period of time, but this bootlegger named Du Lin actually owns a villa worth 350,000 yuan, and at the same time runs a family in partnership. The jewelry store, this news immediately cheered up everyone, they thought they had discovered the truth.

So this message was sent to Memnon.

The butler replied in a deliberate and uncertain tone: "For the time being, there is no evidence that this young man named Du Lin was a participant in the gold robbery, but the people below think that he is very likely to be what we are looking for. The target, so we are still paying close attention and monitoring. This person has some influence and is also very famous in the local area. Our people are not easy to get close to, so we can only watch from a distance."

Memnon nodded, "The next six months will be crucial for our Progressive Party. As long as we can make a positive impact, we won't worry about them not voting for us in the mid-term election. Let people keep an eye on this Guy, if you can be sure it's him, arrange for someone to do it directly. Remember, we don't care about the life or death of a small person, but the money in his hand must be found!"

"I see!"

There was a brief silence in the room, and Memnon closed his eyes and remained motionless as if he was asleep. It took a while for him to open his eyes. The positive energy that was red on his face when he just came back has disappeared without a trace, leaving only deepness and arrogance. He supported his chin with one hand, and played with an exquisite lighter with the other. His eyes were fixed on the lighter, but he was thinking about other things in his heart.

"Shapke is too old, and he actually thought of giving in. What's even more hateful is that he dragged a group of people to his side. If we miss this mid-term election, we will have to wait four years. Who will I can’t even tell what kind of world it is, and we can’t wait that long. If you wait for a long time, people’s boiling blood will cool down. He is too troublesome, arrange someone to talk to him and convince him!”, said Watching Memnon laugh, there was a trace of indifference in the laughter.

Decades of feelings are vulnerable to power and desire!

Shapke is the party whip in the Kadima Party, the third person. At first, Memnon's idea was that the advantages of putting this somewhat stubborn old man in this position outweighed the disadvantages. But in fact he got one thing wrong, for him power is very important, money is very important, everything is very important, he is not those old "revolutionaries", he can't understand their "ideal above everything" Spirit. And this guy Shapke is that kind of person, he puts ideals more important than anything else, and he even quarreled with Memnon several times during this period, making Memnon unable to step down.

Memnon's idea is to directly move the federal welfare system over as soon as possible, first capture the voters' intentions, and then adjust the internal structure and other things step by step. But Shapke thinks that the Federation's set of things is good, but it may be unacceptable on the Empire's side!

He does want to create a "new world," but the price shouldn't be a shaky foundation. It has become a norm for citizens of the Federation to pay various fees, but people on the Empire side have never paid anything other than taxes. Asking them to pay a sum of pension and medical security for their old age on time every month will really kill these people.

Many homeworkers get a monthly salary that is only enough for their daily expenses, and then save a little. If they are asked to pay pensions and medical insurance, their lives will be in trouble. This kind of thing should not be done by citizens. Shapke believes that capitalists should pay these welfare funds for those employees. His idea is that capitalists pay more and workers pay less, so that everyone can accept it. But the problem lies in this place. Imperial capitalism has rapidly sprouted and grown, and has become a terrifying force. Is it possible for these capitalists who want to make profits by oppressing workers to spend more money to pay their employees?

It is obviously impossible, and if the Progressive Party wants to go further and hold the power of the entire state in its hands, it cannot do without the help and support of these capitalists.

So Memnon came up with a "bad idea". Originally, workers should be paid 25 yuan a month, but now they only pay 22 yuan. Of the three dollars that were missing, two dollars and five were handed over to the Progressive Party as welfare payments, and the remaining fifty cents were given to the capitalists as "accident compensation." If an employee has an accident during the work, the required medical treatment and various compensation expenses will be paid from the fifty points.

As soon as this idea came out, it was immediately approved by the capitalists, which meant that they once again lowered the wages of employees by 50%. It may seem like a small amount of money, but it is not a small amount when thousands of people work in a factory. A factory with 3,000 employees can deduct 1,500 yuan a month, and they don't need to pay another sum for any accidents.

All the expenses are equally shared by the workers, and the capitalists don't have to spend a penny, which of course they are happy to do.

And this is the difference between Memnon and Shapke, and it also made Memnon think about getting Shapke down. What he needs is an obedient and symbolic party whip, not the kind of "party whip" that can point at his nose and scold him so that he can't get down from power.

The butler was silent for a moment, "I will go and convince him myself!"

"If you go in person, then I can rest assured." He put away the lighter, sat up straight, and suddenly asked, "By the way, did that guy Kesma reply?"
