Chapter 552 Buying an Island [1]

"I had a dream when I was a child..." Facing the numerous guests and reporters Du Lin, he said hello to everyone and began to speak with a smile, "I dream of riding on the White Pearl in the ocean. I dream of one day I rode a huge strange bird to the top of the clouds, and I dream of one day I would become an amazing person." He shrugged, "This dream behind is about to come true!"

People laughed cordially. Even if Mr. 350,000 left Ilian for a year, he was still a legend and was still one of the representative figures of Ilian. Whenever tourists from other places came here, a tour guide would introduce them to the manor on the cliff, the owner of the manor and what he had done before. There is no doubt that he is definitely a successful person.

The kind laughter made the atmosphere here very integrated. Even though it was winter at this time, I felt the surroundings warm.

"Everyone has many dreams. Some dreams can be realized through our own efforts, but some dreams may always be just a vision of the fantasy world. But in the world of movies, through the efforts of outstanding actors, directors, screenwriters and more practitioners, perhaps some of our illusory dreams will change their expressions and appear on the screen."

"Some scholars think that movies are a vulgar performance that pleases the public. I have some different views from them. I think movies are also an art..." Suddenly, there were sparse applause around, and the applause quickly gathered into an amazing force. People who kept raising their hands to applaud were very much in agreement with Du Lin's statement, and those film practitioners even regarded Du Lin as their confidant.

With Dulin's reputation and identity, what he said today will definitely appear in some newspapers tomorrow. This may not change some people's inherent concepts about them, but this is also a change, a process of pursuing dreams. In addition to money and reputation, the exchange of persistent efforts also has a change, changing people's views on movies, actors, and everyone.

Du Lin smiled and raised his hand and pressed it softly, nodding from time to time. The applause lasted for a while before he stopped. He continued: "Movies are an art, an art of performance, which can present all the impossible things we fantasize and long for in a more intuitive way to us, and let us know that it is not a dream, maybe somewhere, maybe in another time and space, what we fantasize and long for is what is happening."

"When His Excellency Hoston told me that he wanted to establish the Eighth District, I was very encouraged. This is a good thing for all movie fans and all staff who love movies. It can even be placed on a monument that promotes the steady progress of film culture and art. History was born at this moment. Gentlemen, history will be remembered today, and at this time, everything we have done for the film industry!"

“Welcome to District 8!”

After saying the last sentence with a strong voice, Du Lin smiled and waved his hand, and walked down a temporary small stage. People gave Du Lin a warm applause. Some film workers gathered around when Du Lin left the stage. These people were eager to talk to Du Lin about the art of movies. It is rare to see a big figure among such big figures who can understand the work of the movie and deeply analyze the culture of the movie. Perhaps they can find more valuable things from Du Lin.

Huo Sidun's eyes were a little strange. Du Lin's words were actually very simple, but at this time and place, he had considerable appeal. He was a very smart young man and knew when to say what to win people's attention and recognition. This was not a simple thing.

Everyone can speak, but many people can’t speak well and don’t know if they should speak at some point.

When Hoston felt the appeal and talent that Dulin had never shown in the past, his heart suddenly became tight. Dolin, who was regarded as a future aid, could he become his enemy? This is not impossible. With Dulin's ability, if he wants to compete for the position of governor of Corsonas, it is probably not too difficult. He has experience in managing and developing the city of Audis, and has considerable connections. The key is that he has money.

People always think that election competitions are talent and ability, and these are all wrong views. Election competitions are money. In this society where capital is king, no matter how outstanding political ideas you have or how outstanding the framework theory you have for a region, but no one knows these, how could people choose you? If you want people to know, it requires constantly printing various posters and brochures, giving speeches everywhere and constantly appearing in people's sight.

All of these cost money, and they cost a lot of money!

Harry did a lot of work when he was running for governor, one of which could be said to have laid a strong foundation for him to become governor, and this thing was to treat guests to dinner.

He invited 3.710,000 workers in the entire state of Cosenus to have three meals. If it is calculated based on the thirty-five minutes a worker needs, then he will spend almost four million on this activity.

This trick was very effective. He made him known to all the ordinary class who had the right to vote. Under the influence of these three meals, he voted for this "Friend of Workers", so he won by a great advantage and became the governor.

So what about Huo Sidun himself?

Four million... He doesn't have one million, and one million is almost the same. The main motivation and reason why he can fantasize about the position of governor of Cosenus State is Harry. With Harry's nomination, he is equivalent to inheriting most of the influence left by Harry in Corsenus State. But what if Dulin jumps out? Can he block him?

The smile on the face of the Mayor Huositun, who was originally very happy, also became a little stiff, and he had to talk to Dulin.

The unveiling ceremony of the eighth district ended very lively, and people will soon know that it will become a major political achievement when he was in charge of Ilian.

After the unveiling ceremony, Huoston invited Dulin to have dinner alone in Alexander's hotel. The two chose the restaurant on the third floor. There was only one table in the restaurant of hundreds of square meters, and two people.

During the winter break, the third floor of the hotel will be completely empty, which will become an important place to talk about things.

"A wonderful speech, after listening to it, I felt full of energy!" Huo Sidun sat next to Dulin before the dishes came up and handed him a cigarette. The two of them started to suck, "I know you have done a very good job in Audis. Harry is leaving in three years. Have you ever considered the place he will stay?"

Dulin shook his head while smoking a cigarette, "You said you run for governor? Maybe I'm not suitable. Governor nomination is a very critical signal. There have been some small frictions between me and Harry, and he won't nominate me. And at my age, if you want to run for governor, do you think the mainstream middle class will agree with me now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Hoston felt calm. Without Harry's nomination, it was difficult for the mainstream middle class in Corsonas to be a family that was mostly in their thirties to fifties to recognize Dulin. This is because Hoston in politics knew these people better than Dulin. When some of the old party proposed to isolate the middle class and form a new class and form a whole new class, the middle classes were the ones that supported them the most.

This society is definitely not as simple and kind as people see with their eyes. After more than ten years of hard work, young people, who have been vigorous and energetic, have broken free from hundreds or even more peers and climbed to a new level. What they want at this time is definitely not a change, but what they need is stability. Use stability to solidify the already formed but not explicitly mentioned class to consolidate the achievements and benefits obtained from their past efforts.

These people tend to be slightly older politicians. At least these older politicians will not come up with a measure today and have an idea tomorrow, and will not change the stable social structure.

It can be said that the middle class is one of the largest interest groups in the empire. What they need is fortresses that cannot be broken, rather than shells that can destroy the city walls!

Hoston nodded, "Are you going to stay in Audis all the time? Or do you have any other ideas?"

Du Lin looked at him with a smile, "You seem to want me to move?"

Huo Sidun, who was seen through Du Lin, was not embarrassed at all. He waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no, you misunderstood. I just think you are still young and should have the desire and motivation to challenge everything. He does not lose his ambition like half-old men."

"I remember when you sent me to Audis City, you told me that you were going to run for governor there?" Dulin shot up ash, "Do you think I'm a little in the way?"

This sentence made Hosten feel a little bit waxed, "How could it be? In fact, if we two can help each other, it would be more meaningful than me or you to fight alone. If you don't leave Audis and Cosenus State, it's a good thing for me, at least I already have my own people there."

"Our own?" Du Lin lit without comment and snatched the cigarette in the ashtray, "Then let's wait and see!"

While eating, Huositun talked about Dulin's winery, and then extended the topic to the fact that he bought most islands in the Imperial Sea. Some time ago, some merchants also wanted to buy these islands of different sizes, but they soon discovered that the islands within the Ilian area were already Dulin's private islands, and other places were similar. So someone hoped to contact Dulin through Huositun, could he get some of them?
