With the butler's eyes full of guard and warning, Dulin stood outside the gate of the manor with Graff expressionlessly, waiting for about ten minutes before they were told that they could enter. A wealthy man like Heidler and a big capitalist naturally had his own set of rules. This is not a stable society. The turmoil after the war ended. The reform of the government system has exacerbated the decline in social security, so even if he was summoned by the big capitalist, there is a complete set of procedures.

After entering the gate, three guys wearing suits and looking cold-faced walked up. They asked Dulin and Graff to raise their hands high, and then carefully touched them. They made sure that Dulin did not bring a weapon and took away Graff's dagger before they were released.

After passing a long corridor, they went up to the second floor. In the easternmost room, they saw Heidler.

Heidler looked only in his fifties at this time. He had silver-gray hair, no wrinkles on his face, a round face, a tall nose, and a thin lips. He was very well maintained and had a red face. He might be actually older than Dulin guessed. He was wearing a very expensive high-end suit, and his sword collar was made of silk fabric from the east, which was straight and faintly reflective.

His neckline and cuffs have expensive gemstone accessories, and even the buttons of his shirt are made of vermilion.

This is a very rich old man. The Imperial Chamber of Commerce always has only thirty-six seats. These thirty-six people ruled everything that was related to commercial trade in the entire empire. From the small shop selling leather shoes on the roadside to the operation of the steam locomotive team, they all decided because of their words. Some people laughed and said that although these thirty-six people were not emperors, they exercised the power that only the emperor could possess!

Heidler was also laughing. Each of these big guys had many masks. You would never know if he had worn a mask. He reached out and invited the two of them to sit down, and even stood up in person. He poured two glasses of wine as clear as gold for Dulin and Graff and placed them in front of them. Dulin and Graff both stood up. This was polite and had nothing to do with personal grudges. But compared to Graff's slightly bent waist, Dulin's waist had never bent!

"This time I asked someone to send you over, because I wanted to talk to you about something." After he walked to the table, he raised his hand and pressed it down, and sat down together, "I am a Guarte. I know what the people outside say about my father, and I also know how some of them slandered me. The situation has improved a lot over the years, but some people are still repeating these past things and are unwilling to face a new world and a new environment."

He picked up the wine glass in front of him and raised his hand, taking a sip, "Immersed in the past and never see tomorrow. We should look forward and chase the sun and light."

"The Guartes lived a hard life. The Empire was always on guard against us and broke all the Guartes into various parts of the Empire. Just like the loose sand on the beach, we can never unite, which is why our Guartes live in harsh environment."

He spread his hands a little, then leaned back on the luxurious and heavy chair, "God made us born as Guartes, which is our pride. We should not surrender to the teasing of fate, just like the Patriotic War in those days. Even when facing enemies that are dozens of times more than us, we still dare to take up weapons and fight for freedom. We should unite again. Only when all Guartes unite can we regain our former glory."

"I heard that someone established a village association mainly composed of Guartes. I was surprised that this was not an easy thing, but you did it."

"Durin, please allow me to call you that. How do you think the next step of the countryside association should develop?"

Heidler's money was not blown by the strong wind. After saying good things, you must consider the young president of the fellow countryman association. If his ideas can be passed, then Heidler recognizes him as the president. If he just treats the fellow countryman association as a toy or a game, then Heidler will send someone to try to change to his own. What he needs is a convenient tool, not a bad toy.

If it were someone else, it might be difficult to find ideas and language to deal with Heidler in a short time. After all, the birth of the Hometown Association can be said to have occurred by coincidence, and there were no preliminary plans or premeditations. But this is not difficult for Dulin. He had seen and experienced much more things in his dream than Heidler.

He was silent for a moment, sorted out his thoughts, and then said very sincerely: "Dear Mr. Heidler, thank you very much for paying attention to the just-founded organization of the Association. I am deeply grateful and honored."

"My initial idea for the fellow countrymen was very simple. I hope that all Gualtes could stand up and fight against unfair destiny and treatment. One finger could easily break..." Dulin stretched out his index finger with his right hand and pressed it on the table. "But when the fingers are united, it will become a fist, and the fist can only hurt the enemy."

Hydra admired Dulin's metaphor, fingers and fists, like loose Guartes and united Guartes, and that was exactly what he needed. He nodded with relief, reached out to invite Dulin to continue.

Dulin took back his fist and continued, "I'm working at the station, I must have known it. For a short while, I joined the Workers' Union. The Workers' Union gave me an unimaginable force. It was precisely because the workers were united that they had..." Dulin was stunned and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I forgot..."

"No, let's continue." Heidler is also a capitalist. It is indeed a bit too much to say that he wants to challenge the authority of the capitalist in front of the capitalist.

Dulin took a deep breath and continued: "It is precisely because the workers are united that they have the ability to challenge capitalists and are no longer cruelly exploited by capitalists. And we, the Guartes, are actually the same. When we are dispersed, the Ogdings and the Empire do not need to consider our rights at all, because we are just loose sand. Only when we are united closely, let them see our strength and recall the defeats encountered in the Guarte Kingdom's Patriotic War, will they face us and give us the respect we deserve."

"People like to say the word "decent". Decent is never given to you by others, nor is it owned at birth. All decency, awe and glory are achieved by oneself." When Dulin said this, Heidler's eyes widened. He had great experience and insights. Doesn't what he experienced just mean that what Dulin said is correct? If there are few ups and downs, how can he become a legend in people's mouth and win the respect and hostility of the Ogding people?

"The first step we have to do is to be truly like a family, all members are our siblings, and we have to take good care of everyone and fight for their worthy benefits and powers."

"The second step is that we must make our own voices in society, let all the Ogdings, and all other races, let this empire know that we are not the victims of silence, and we will also have a day to shout our own voices."

"The third part, to expand the influence, the Association of the People's Republic of China should not be placed in a city like Tnell. The Association of the People's Republic of China should be spread all over the country, even the whole world! All Guartes are our brothers and sisters, and should be taken care of by us, enjoy benefits and treatment."

"As for the rest..." Du Lin smiled awkwardly, "I haven't considered that far yet."

Heidler raised his hand and said, "No, what you said is already very good!" He couldn't help but stand up and walked back a few steps later on the table, "You said very well, better than I thought. But you have considered a problem. What should I do if I encountered insurmountable obstacles during the rise of the Guartes? From the folk, from the official!"

"As long as we still have the desire and courage to climb, we can conquer all the peaks!" Dulin waved his fist vigorously, "The difficulty that wasn't the past?"

"Then knock him down!"

A dialogue made Heidler confirm that the president of the fellow country association named Dulin and his fellow country association was worth investing. These investments were just a small amount of money for him, but they could get shocking returns. Moreover, through such a dialogue, Heidler also confirmed that Dulin was an ambitious and wise person, which is a good thing. Ambitions have the desire to keep moving forward and become his most powerful tool.

As for how to restrain Dulin and the Association, Heidler also had a mature idea.

What is the most lacking for the fellow countrymen established by two poor boys?

It's money!

Heidler will invest some money to the development and growth of the association. As the association grows, it will become increasingly short of money. As long as they cannot be self-sufficient, they will always be controlled by Heidler and use it for him. Otherwise, he will not need to do anything. As long as he stops financial support, the already-strength association will rebel and they will kick Dulin out for him.

Therefore, Heidler was not worried that the hometown association would become a problem for him after it grew. On the contrary, he only despised the hometown association to develop too slowly and it would take longer to help him.
