This is the first time in three years that we have met.

When Durin got out of the car, he saw Albert standing at the door of the villa to greet him, and when he stepped on the ground with both feet, Albert quickly greeted him and bowed to say hello.

The villa is surrounded by "his own people", the people arranged by Doolin, who always speculate on everyone with the greatest malice, and then let others tear up the label that Doolin has put on them with loyalty. Before he had Durin's full trust, he was suspicious of those who had not been born or died for him. So he arranged for Albert's whole team to "protect" his safety, and at the same time to warn him, let him know that the reason why Durin was able to become a nightmare for many people was not because he was stupid, but because the knife in his hand was sharp enough.

Today all the irrelevant people in the villa were cleared out, and Durin blasted a lazy back to get Albert up. He calmly looked into Albert's eyes, who looked at him for a moment, then gradually stabilized.

"Let's go, let's go in. He took the lead and walked inside.

The villa is luxuriously furnished, with a huge swimming pool, two small fountains and a tennis court, as well as a green rubber floor for outdoor activities on the left. It is said that it is a villa, but in fact, it is a huge garden and area worse than the manor, and the degree of luxury is not weaker than that of some small manors.

Entering the villa, Durin arranged for Nadia to rest, and he took Dover and Albert to the study.

As soon as the door was shut, Durin went to the chair where the master of the study sat and sat down, while Albert sat down in the chair outside the table. He casually flipped through the two papers on the table, which were placed here for him to see and then for him to look through. He is not what he used to be, and Albert is not the Albert he used to be.

As the chairman of a large group of companies, he has achieved more promotions in the past few years than people can imagine.

People, everyone, are individuals with infinite potential, and no one knows how much potential they have unless they are forced to do so. When Albert first came here to preside over the work, he didn't know how to do anything, he was just a salesman who ran a business, and of course he also worked for Duhrin for a while, opening a service company for the rich. Compared with a group company with a market value of more than 1.5 billion federal dong, that kind of small company is very different, and it is not a level of things at all.

Fortunately, Du Lin did not look at the wrong person, and he did not live up to this opportunity, and finally managed the entire group well.

After reading the two documents, Durin leaned back, and the chair leaned back a little after being stressed, making it more comfortable to sit on. He clasped his fingers over his waist, looked at Albert and asked, "You already know my plan, do you?"

Albert said yes, and Durin called him through a secret line to tell him about the plan. This time, Dührin and a group of capitalists from the empire were ready to reap the fruits of the Federation's economy for twenty years, and if necessary, to set back the Union's economic and financial level by at least ten years. At first, Albert felt a little fanciful when he heard about this plan, he was already the chairman of the group of companies, and he was the master of all but those anonymous major shareholders.

The more things he comes into contact with in this society, the more he feels that it is almost completely impossible for a person, or a few people, or even a few consortia, to block a country's economy and finance! Even if these people have money, their funds cannot be compared to a country...... , a bit of a knight.

"Mr. Doolin ......," Albert said, "I beg your pardon for my presumptuousness, there is a problem that is troubling me that needs to be solved. ”

Durin nodded, and he continued, "When you sent me here, I told me what to do, and I feel that although I have some immaturity in my work during this time, I am finally worthy of your instructions, and I have passed. Durin nodded again. Albert is definitely not just passing, of course, this has something to do with how Durin planned for him, but if he wasn't for this material, he wouldn't be able to teach it even if he taught it by hand, he didn't just pass, he should have a B.

Why not A, it's because he hasn't done some things perfectly enough, not to the best level of Doolin's ideals, so that Doolin still has to help him build momentum on the side of the Empire.

"Now the development of the group company is getting faster and faster, the stock price is getting higher and higher, according to the incomplete statistics of our financial appraiser, once the bilateral currency relationship is dissolved, the federation will usher in a new development, and at the same time, the shares of our major subsidiaries will also rise rapidly, among which the joint construction engineering is the most. Our economic appraiser believes that in a month or so, the market capitalization of the group will exceed 2 billion to 2.2 billion federal guilders......"

Du Lin raised his hand at this time to stop him from continuing, "You want to ask me, since we are so rich, why do we have to do something very dangerous and risky, right?"

Albert nodded his head, and that's what he meant. Although he did not want to disobey Durin, why should such a huge group of companies, or a consortium that had been promoted to a new life, destroy a consortium at the cost of trying something that would never succeed? This was obviously very uneconomical and incomprehensible to him.

Aren't there two things that people live in this world for all their lives?

The first is power, the second is wealth, and now wealth is at his fingertips for him, for Doolin, no, they are already super-rich, Albert successfully ran for parliament and entered the federal parliament. Now he is a public figure, not only rich, but also powerful, even the local mayor has to be polite when he sees him, with such a foundation, why bother, he doesn't understand.

"Ideals are priceless, Albert. "Nothing is more valuable than an ideal, especially when the value of this ideal goes far beyond people's perception of wealth and power." I know you don't understand a lot, and that's okay, we still have time for you to gradually understand that this world, this country, is much more fragile than you think. At the same time, it can also make you understand that the wealth you see is, in my eyes, nothing more than a pile of waste paper. ”

He patted the armrest and stood up, "Okay, I'm tired, do your thing during this time, don't let me down." ”

Albert also followed and stood up, "I've already had someone arrange a room......"

"No!", Durin shook his head with a smirk, "I have a place to live in the Federation, and it's not convenient for me to be here often. Keep the phone open during this time and don't do anything I don't want to see, understand?"

Albert paused for a moment, then lowered his head, "Yes, I see, Mr. Dulin." ”

Durin asked Natia, who was about to rest, and left in the car, leaving even the driver behind and driving by himself. Originally, Durin was going to rest here, but a brief conversation with Albert made him realize that this guy seemed to have an idea of his own, which was not a good sign. This is not an empire, and without the Guerts who are willing to die for him, his safety must come first. This time, in addition to the people he brought on the surface, there was also Savi who smuggled in with a detachment, and the number was more than a hundred.

Durin didn't dare to bring too many people over, he was already a bit "notorious", and if he brought too many people, he might be closely monitored. Smuggling is actually not safe, most of those smugglers have collusion with official forces, just like the smugglers on the east coast of the empire, every time they bring people into or out of the country, they will say hello to the navy and Duhrin in advance, telling them where they have brought someone over, or where they plan to take some people.

The underground world has the order of the underground world, and many people in the underground world think that colluding with the official is a very shameful thing, but look at those gangs and forces that are big, how many of them are purely playing their own games? The leader of the underground forces like Tenel's Godol, who dominates half of the city, is not the same as those people in the city hall? Without their permission, which gang can swell so big?

Albert's ambiguous attitude made Durin suspicious, which was not good news, but it was good news at the same time.

He suddenly felt a little pain, why do these people never understand, everything they have is given to them by Durin, but they want to do something against Durin's will, don't they know that there is a price to pay for doing anything?

Standing on the windowsill on the second floor of the villa and watching the two cars leave, Albert withdrew his gaze, he walked to the sofa and sat down, his hands inserted into his hairline and pushed back, the whole person looked a little decadent.

He was accustomed to the life of the Commonwealth, without the trepidation he had when he first arrived, to being called "Mr. Albert" or "Mr. Councillor" by the people, to the extravagance of high society, to the socializing of changing glasses in the spotlight, to the sense of accomplishment of owning a business empire.

Now, it all can go with the wind anytime, anywhere.

What should he do?

He is also very confused, these things in his hands, the equity he owns, are not his own, those anonymous shareholders are the real powerful people, sometimes Albert suspects, these people are also pawns arranged by Doolin.

Where is the road ahead?

He suddenly remembered something, quickly got up and walked to the bookcase, opened the bookcase, took a button-sized badge in his hand and rubbed it, and then walked to the desk.
