Act 153 Bank of England

Lincoln was rough on the outside, but he was very humble in his actual performance. He maintained extreme humility even in the face of a Doug who rose like a comet and was just a little tramp some time ago.

This humility is certainly comfortable, but in addition to comfort, Doug feels awkward and alert.

Why?

"I didn't expect Lord Lincoln to be like this...... Different ......" Doug was looking for the source of this awkwardness and vigilance in his heart when he was perfunctory.

Is this it?

Suddenly, Doug sensed something.

He understood where this strange feeling was coming from.

The Lincoln in front of him was not the same as the Lincoln in his impression.

This may be complicated to say, but he has the impression that Lincoln, who is in the textbook, is a leader with a spirit of resistance.

Whether it was the emancipation of black slaves, the issuance of green-backed dollars, or even the ultimate goal, the Civil War, he showed determination and determination.

And this kind of firmness and determination, no matter from any point of view, is not like the gentle Lincoln in front of him, can show.

This strange sense of dislocation made Doug feel dangerous.

Is there a problem with the Lincoln he studied, or is there a problem with the Lincoln in front of him?

He did not make a judgment at the first time, and with questions, he continued to have a more in-depth conversation with the president who left a strong mark on the history of the United States.

Lincoln did not show any inferiority complex about his ugliness appearance, but was very open, and he tried to smile as little as possible not to frighten others and said, "You really said it to be a tact, most people think I am a wild man when they see me. Even wilder than the Indians. ”

Doug didn't dwell on the issue, "However, I can tell from your love for Monopoly that you are a man with great ambitions. And you did start a great activity - running for president, I just don't know if it was a coincidence or a ...... to meet you here today."

"It's no coincidence. Lincoln replied firmly, "It was I who asked Mayor De Niro to introduce me to you." ”

"Referrals? No, no, no, I'm just a small person, and you don't use the word referral, it's not very appropriate. ”

"Yes! Others may not know that you are the real owner of the American Press Group. I came to you to get your support for me. Lincoln said impassionedly.

Although the election in the United States is not a universal suffrage in the true sense. After the general election, it will be voted on by the Senate and the House of Representatives.

However, without universal suffrage, it has nothing to do with the Senate and House of Representatives.

If you want to win the general election, the promotion of political ideas is even the second thing, and the most important thing is to let the majority of voters know that there is such a person who is participating in the election.

In this day and age, there is no one best way to publicize it, only newspapers.

Although the words in the newspaper are not understood by every voter.

However, even hearsay is enough.

Between a person who has never heard a name and a person who has heard a name, people should choose what they are familiar with.

From this point of view, whoever controls the newspaper wins the election.

But......

Doug looked at Lincoln in front of him and felt that he couldn't just be for this purpose.

Anyone who is confronted with what they are looking for, will run away from it.

There are never as many people who can really face the problem head-on.

People often talk about one question when they really want to express another issue.

"It's not hard for you to get enough exposure, but I don't think you came to me for that purpose. ”

Doug's gaze was fixed on Lincoln's eyes, not giving him any chance to dodge.

Lincoln and Doug looked at each other for a moment, then said, "You're not a man to deal with at will. What I need more than reporting is money......"

"Money?" repeated Doug.

American-style elections have always burned money.

It's just that the more information is developed, the more money is burned.

"I don't have any money. Doug said.

"You have, you own Bank of America. Your Bank of America is now one of the top banks in the country. ”

"Don't you know, Mr. Lincoln, that there is no money in the banks?" asked Doug rhetorically.

Banks do have a lot of money, but almost none of that money belongs to the banks. It's just that depositors are temporarily put in the bank.

Although Lincoln had been president in another world, Doug would not simply agree to Lincoln's request for money based on his words.

Because...... He did not receive equal or even excessive benefits.

Whether Doug supports Lincoln's election or not is just a deal.

This was true for both Doug and Lincoln.

"As long as I'm president, I'm going to bring you enough benefits, like ......," Lincoln said.

The election of the president is nominally universal suffrage, but in fact the factors that can really determine who the president is are no longer the commoners, but the rich.

The owner of a factory can elect the same person for all his employees.

Although, this does not meet the criteria of universal suffrage.

However, whoever doesn't choose has a career. How many people will ruin their jobs for the sake of elections?

Therefore, the election of the president is essentially an exchange of interests and a peace of power and money.

If Doug supported Lincoln, and if Lincoln was elected, he would have received the benefits Lincoln had promised.

Lincoln said that there are many benefits, and there are also one, two, three, and four points, which sound very clear.

However, Doug was not very interested in these.

Doug waited for Lincoln to finish talking about the benefits he could promise, and said only one sentence, "Does your government want a Bank of England?"

The Bank of England was the first central bank in the true modern sense.

It is also a sign that British finance, and even world finance, are on the right track.

However, this central bank has a very peculiar quality.

That is, it is a private bank.

That's right, it's a private bank.

De Niro, who had been listening, was stunned when he heard Doug's words.

This is not the first time he has faced such a power-for-money transaction.

In fact, he also gave a lot to be elected mayor of New Haven.

However, he had never heard of anyone with such ambitions.

Don't...... This young child in front of you wants to have a central bank?

The central bank controls the issuance of money, which means the lifeblood of a country's economy.

For a capitalist, having a central bank means that he owns the wealth of the entire country.

And Lincoln's reply, which also shocked De Niro, was brief.

"Can be considered. ”
