Chapter 827 Unproofed, refreshed in five minutes
Hagrid is a very common name, and the common word indicates that Mayor Hagrid may be from the civilian class, but he was able to make him mayor of Saint-Nulin Vantiles, which means that there are people above him and people behind him.
There has never been an official who can do this without relying on anyone, and this has nothing to do with the ability of the individual, because the resources at the top are always extremely limited, and more importantly, these limited resources are in the hands of a very small number of people at the same time. So now the question is, why do others allocate part of their limited resources to someone they don't know?
It's not about morality and profession, it's nature, it's possessiveness in the bones, what's mine is mine, and I won't give it to anyone for no reason. At this time, more means are needed to operate, to operate, the simple is to find someone with the same resources in their hands to stand up, exchange resources, and then distribute resources, which is why the higher the official position of the empire, the more difficult it becomes, because these have been separated from the category of personal ability and execution ability, and belong to another field.
A very common name means that Hagrid is most likely a Bowers man, and of course this is also in line with Maggs's propaganda policy after coming to power, and he will promote non-aristocratic class officials to important positions more comprehensively and deeply to ensure more support. This is also the reason why Bowers was able to achieve the third position in the party, Maggs understood the progress of the times better than those rotten aristocrats, and that power could no longer be completely concentrated in the hands of one or two people, and that only by spreading the benefits to more people within the scope of allowability could a more stable regime be obtained.
Although Hagrid was most likely an official of Bowworth's faction, whether it was an aristocratic upstart or a commoner-born nouveau riche understood a truth under Maggs's tutelage, capitalism was a very terrible and hateful thing. Sometimes it will show people with a cute face, but at the end of the day, if capital wants to grow, it needs to eat people.
What was the purpose of Hagrid's visit to this cocktail party initiated by United Construction Works?
"Mr. Grace's energy seems to be so great that even a character like you can be invited, no wonder I felt a little different when I came in, it turned out that you were here. Doerin praised Mr. Hagrid, who was a member of the New Party and the mayor of Otis City, and Hagrid's ranking in the top 48 in the party and his entry into the New Party Committee, a lower ranking than Harry, can be said to be a representative of high power.
Hagrid laughed, "What Mr. Dohrin said makes me feel that I have lost some weight, and we don't use honorifics between us, which makes it always feel like our relationship is a little strange......", after getting Doolin's affirmation, Hagrid led Doolin to the edge of the meeting without changing his face, and whispered, "Today, the federal side submitted a formal diplomatic note, hoping to renegotiate matters related to the Memorandum of Monetary Understanding, and the Maggs leader was very angry when the cabinet meeting......" He looked like he had leaked a secret that shouldn't have been revealed, but neither he nor Durin took it seriously.
First, with Durin's friendship with Maggs, as well as his connections in all aspects of society, someone will always take the initiative to tell him about it, and this is not a secret that needs to be kept. Secondly, even if we don't talk about it now, it won't be long before the diplomatic consultation meeting between the two countries will be held, and it will definitely be full of storms and rains at that time, and it will be difficult to think about it.
Instead of this, it is better to sell a favor that does not cost money, and by the way, maintain a good personal relationship with Durin.
Bowers has been working against Maggs since the midterm elections, a momentum that is not well known to many people and is known only to those on the New Party committee. Bowers was always questioning Mags' decisions, and Maggs would sometimes fight back and get Bowers in trouble. It is said that Harry will be the next cabinet leader, that is, the prime minister of the empire, the new leader of the new party, he is the successor of Maggs's will, and he is the successor of all the powers. In this case, even if the officials of the civilian faction have no ideas, they must have some ideas.
If Bowers can't become the next leader of the new party, if he can't become prime minister, his time will be over. He didn't have time to wait another eight years and then charge back at the top, maybe he wouldn't survive the next eight years. Once Bowers withdrew from the political arena, the new members of the Plebeian faction faced an awkward situation, and no one after Bowers could take the lead and hold up the banner and backbone of the Plebeian faction.
The prestige of the strength is not enough, and the prestige is not enough, and Bowworth himself is actually very anxious, and he also chooses a few suitable successors like Maggs, including Hagrid.
But Hagrid was reluctant to do so, for the simple reason that even if Bowers trusted him very much and was willing to make him the heir to his political legacy, he needed eight years after the next election year to turn Bowers' legacy into his own wealth, reorganize all the resources in his hands and make them willing to pay for him, in other words, it would take him a little more than ten years to get to where Bowers is today, when he was in his sixties. What if the competition fails, then he will face another long eight years in office, at which point he will be no different from the current Boworths.
At the age of more than seventy, he is two steps away from the peak friend, but it is the distance of these two steps that is enough for him to not cross. He turned the rest of his life into a continuation of Bowworths's political life, and in the end he had to choose a suitable person, and then entrust all the political wealth he had run for half his life to that person, leaving nothing behind and retiring himself, occasionally looking at the young people dancing in the world from the newspapers.
It's not what he wants, what he wants is a comfortable life and proper power, it's good to be mayor of the city, he's willing to stay there, it's even better if he can be sent out to be a governor in other states, and those games of hegemony or something are for ambitious people to play.
Making friends with some important people is what Hagrid has learned since he became an official, Maggs has been restraining the rapid expansion and development of capitalism, but everyone has understood very well that capitalism cannot be restrained. An important reason why Maggs is now able to make the northern consortium tremble is that he has been in power as the leader of the New Party for more than 30 years, and has served two terms as the prime minister of the empire, which is too long in power. Growing to the point that his authority should override the entire social mechanism, his tentacles have penetrated into all aspects of society, but once he leaves the political arena of the empire, the power of capital, which has been suppressed for so long, will immediately rebound.
At this time, befriending a large company like Doolin is the safest way to speculate, and maybe it can become an important bargaining chip at some point.
It was clear that Durin was not aware of this matter, and this diplomatic note was sent directly to the Imperial Foreign Office by the Commonwealth's diplomatic ambassador, and it did not leak the news, which was in line with Hagrid's reason for being here, and at the same time made Durin confused about another matter, but now was not the time to think about it.
Durin didn't continue to ask on the subject, and if he asked Mayor Hagrid, he didn't necessarily know anything, and in the end all decisions were made by the Cabinet, and a mayor couldn't reach the Cabinet's decision, or Maggs's decision. But at the same time, Durin knew that his time in the empire was getting less and less, and he wanted to make a big plan on a whim a few years ago, this plan was originally only two people, he and Mr. Jack, but because of the financial resources that could be mobilized, in the end things became more and more complicated, and more and more people joined, and finally even the Imperial Bank and the cabinet were involved.
Now, this is no longer a big plan for one or two people, but a kind of ...... As the commander of this war, DΓΌhrin was honored to be the commander of the war, because he was deeply aware that his name would be inscribed on the occasion of history, and that he would be the one that shone brightest.
"Speaking of which, I have some questions for Mayor Hagrid...... I would like to ask," Durin quickly reversed the subject, and Hagrid looked attentive as he listened, he was a very good official. At his level, there is no need to be obviously inclined to a certain thing or a certain person, but the attitude he shows makes Du Lin think that he is a good person, at least not so arrogant because he has some power in his hands, "I have a TV station here in the imperial capital......
Hagrid nodded, "I know, it's the station that intervenes in the signal line to watch the show 24 hours a day." β
This answer surprised Durin a little, "Mayor Hagrid also understood?"
Hagrid laughed, "Of course, I also care about this TV station, you know, my wife and I and the children are very fond of those tapes, we haven't fallen behind in every issue, and I just want to ask, when will it be done here in the imperial capital? I must be the first to become a member." β
"This is also what I want to say, now the construction of the TV station has encountered some problems, and some people at the Imperial Academy of Arts believe that the construction will destroy the style and historical relics of the imperial capital, so the construction has been temporarily stopped. β
Hagrid was stunned for a moment, "These...... I'll ask you about it, and in fact these things are managed by the Social Services Bureau, and the Imperial Research Institute can't interfere with the administration, they don't have the ability and they don't have the power. β
Du Lin was also stunned for a moment, and then he smiled and said, "I have asked someone else for this matter, and it should be resolved soon, and when the time comes, I will tell the company to move the first line into your residence." β
"Thank you so much!", Hagrid raised his glass and touched it with Durin, meaning that this was the end of their conversation, and there was nothing to say about any further conversation, and if there was anything this was not the occasion for conversation.
After the two separated, Durin reflected on what Mayor Hagrid had just said, and after a moment's thought, he turned and told Dover, "Go and get the two little girls of the Hill family, and I'll talk to them." β
If the Confederation insisted on amending the Monetary Memorandum of Understanding or even tearing up the agreement, Maggs would not sit idly by and watch the Confederation climb higher after stepping on the Empire. The reason why there was such an agreement on currency in the past was that Doolin also contributed a lot. From the point of view of the time, stabilizing the exchange rate between the two countries was a great help to the trade between the two countries, at least the empire would not suffer too much in the export trade, and no one would take advantage of it. At the same time, in terms of importing materials, the use of foreign exchange savings in hand, that is, the federal shield, has stronger purchasing power in the international market.
At the same time, this agreement has also brought about a dramatic change, even a transformation, in the financial markets of the two countries.
Because in order to stabilize the exchange rate between the two countries, the central banks of the empire and the federation must have a certain percentage of foreign exchange reserves, which can be used to mediate foreign exchange rates at any time and place. In the past, the two major banks of the empire did not have much foreign exchange reserves, and the foreign trade was not very large, but after this agreement, the two major banks absorbed a large amount of federal shield at the request of the cabinet, which was also the most important factor in the Duhring plan, that is, foreign exchange reserves.
Now that the Federation has taken the initiative to tear up this agreement, in fact, on the other hand, it is a good thing for the Empire and for Durin, which makes the next plan go more smoothly, so the relationship between him and his most important partner, the Imperial Central Bank, must first stabilize in this game.
Capital will always chase profits, and today they are in court for the sake of interests and the Bo court, Duhrin took the Imperial Central Bank to court, but for the sake of the greater interests in the future, Duhrin can also take the initiative to reconcile with the Imperial Central Bank, this is not a problem, as long as there are enough interests, there is nothing that cannot be discussed.
Dover quickly found the two sisters and sent them upstairs to the room that Grace had opened for Doolin.
"Why did he bring us here?", Dinya's face was still so ugly, "Will he have anything excessive to do to us?", the little girl's heart has not been calm, Durin's words just now seriously hurt her self-esteem, that bastard actually treated her as a skilled woman, now after calming down, Deniaa felt that Durin's words were actually not wrong, and at the same time that she was even more disgusted with Durin, there was also a trace of fear.
When all one's pride is trampled under the feet of others, it either breeds greater courage, stronger determination, or becomes weak.
Seeing that her sister didn't speak, frowning and pondering, Dinya asked in a somewhat weak tone, "Do we really want to ...... No, I definitely wouldn't do it!"
