Chapter 843: Temptation

The lawsuit between Duhrin and the Imperial Central Bank affects the hearts of many people, some people hope that the Imperial Central Bank can win, and some hope that the Imperial Central Bank will be unlucky, no matter what everyone thinks, this lawsuit is difficult to solve, and at the same time, it is obvious that Durin's side seems to have more advantages. As long as a lawyer can see the partiality of a lifelong justice, ordinary people certainly do not have this feeling, and they do not have the professionalism of a lawyer to discover this kind of favoritism.

In court, such influential non-criminal cases involving the Reichsbank also have a jury, and although judges cannot decide who is guilty and who is not guilty, they can still influence the trend of the court argument in their own way.

Adams, the lawyer on Doolin's side, could say anything, and the defendant's lawyer's protest was always invalid, which would give the jury the impression that the defendant was panicked. At the same time, the defense of the defendant's lawyer did not say a few words before Adams raised the objection, and the judge agreed with this protest, which would make the jury feel that the defendant was always talking. The effect may have been silent, but it did exist, and most people began to take a bias in favor of Doolin as the plaintiff.

After four consecutive court arguments, someone couldn't sit still.

The interests of the Imperial Central Bank not only represent the interests of the central bank itself, but also the interests of the majority of investors, shareholders and shareholders, and there are more silk threads connecting the interests of more vested interests. If the Reichsbank loses this lawsuit, it will have to apologize publicly, in addition to compensating Durin for a large amount of damages. This would damage the credibility of the Imperial Central Bank, and it would expose a lot of people to losses, so someone stepped forward.

The first person to stand up was actually a person from the Ministry of Finance, and there was a deputy minister named Carol, who served as the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, second only to the Imperial Minister of Finance. His main job is to manage the issuance of currency, as well as to monitor and regulate the exchange rate of Xingyuan in the international foreign exchange market, which is a very powerful position.

The two of them met in Durin's manor, which was relatively remote, not too disturbed by the outside world, and secluded enough to be a good place to talk about things.

After the two met and shook hands, they sat down, and Carol looked at Durin's study and praised him.

The study has not been altered since Durin took over, and it remains in its original state, with a huge bookcase full of books. These books are not like new books that some people have deliberately bought to highlight their cultural connotations, and there are no traces of reaction. The books here have become a bit old after being read by generations of owners, and there are many manuscripts and thread-bound books.

For those who love to collect books and love to read, this is a huge treasure. For many years, the aristocracy had a monopoly on the spread of knowledge, and the common class was denied access to a high level of education. The less knowledge the commoners knew, the more conservative and stupid their thinking became, which greatly facilitated the nobles to ensure that no one in their fiefdom would shout out on a whim that "the prime minister and the marquis were not born" and other bold remarks.

Whether a nobleman's background is profound, you can understand it by looking at the study of their family master.

"Mr. Doolin likes to read very much!", Deputy Chief Carol complimented Doolin, and now how many people can not know Doolin's information? It is no accident that a farmer-turned-fellow can come to this point, behind every successful person there will be efforts and dedication that others cannot see, and the so-called luck is nothing more than the quibble of the jealous and stupid people about their inability to succeed. Deputy Chief Carol didn't dare to underestimate Durin, it would only make him lose face, "I saw that book ...... when I came in", Dulin glanced back at the thread-bound book on the desk, "Reading is a good habit, and I like to read too." ”

Durin smiled, "You know, I didn't go to school, so I need to supplement my knowledge from other aspects, and reading books not only increases my knowledge, but also makes it fun." ”

"That's indeed the ......", Deputy Minister Carol did not continue to go deeper on this topic, as he understood, going deeper would not only embarrass himself, but also make Durin angry, he changed the topic in a timely manner, "Mr. Durin, I noticed that you have many industries in the empire, as a merchant investor, what do you think of the current economic development situation of the empire?"

Du Lin pondered for a moment and said, "The current economic development situation of the empire is very good, all walks of life are developing vigorously, and I have heard that there is a very serious labor shortage in the south, and this is the best performance. ”

Deputy Chief Carroll nodded in agreement, "You are right, the empire is once again running on the right path after more than twenty years of rest, it can be said that we have made brilliant and remarkable achievements in the economy in recent years, all of which are due to the efforts of each of our citizens, as well as the credit of the empire to maintain the stability of the financial order, what do you think?", Dulin nodded in agreement, and Deputy Minister Carroll had a lot of smiles on his face, he said, " The stability of the economic order is the basis for a country's economic take-off, and we have not done a good enough job in this regard, and there are always some reasons and changes that are beyond our control. ”

"Of course, we've been working on that. Since the beginning of the new era, the Ministry of Finance has been committed to formulating and maintaining the economic and financial order in the empire, of course, this is also indispensable to the help of the central bank, we provide policies and services, and the central bank provides stable financial guarantees, which has promoted the rapid development of today's economy. ”

"Mr. Doolin, I have noticed some unpleasantness between you and the central bank recently, and the central bank has indeed gone very far in this regard, and similar things have happened several times. We have negotiated with the central bank's president in an internal communication meeting, and they are willing to pay you a fee and apologize to you privately for their reckless behavior. ”

This is true, Deputy Minister Carroll has talked to the main chairmen of the central bank's board of governors about this, and it is not possible to let the three lawsuits affect the economic development of the empire. Once the credibility of the central bank is damaged, there is a high risk that a financial storm will ensue. In the current financial market of the empire, most of the capital operation itself is based on the credibility of the central bank, and once there is a problem in this regard, it will cause a series of huge losses, and even the economic results of the empire in the past few years will be hit hard.

After several discussions, the Ministry of Finance finally decided to take the initiative to resolve the current differences and contradictions between Doolin and the Imperial Central Bank, and ensure that the credibility of the central bank would not be damaged. This is not out of selfishness, but purely from the standpoint of the state.

Durin looked at Deputy Carol and fell silent with a smile, and it seemed that Mr. Vicky's mouth was tighter than DΓΌhrin had imagined. He thought that Vicky would talk to the old man of the central bank, but he didn't expect that he didn't say anything, so that he still thought that Dulin didn't let go? But this shouldn't be right, so why haven't they contacted him until now, but let Deputy Secretary Carroll convey the idea of wanting to solve the problem privately?

In fact, this is not a strange thing, where there are people, there will definitely be disagreements and contradictions, and the board of directors and the presidents are not of the same mind. There are people like Vicky who are not keen on power, but more like power, and in the unknown meeting of the presidents, there have already begun to be people who impeach the current two executive directors for their inability to continue to steer the direction of the Imperial Bank in the current situation, and to bring their rotation to an early end.

On the one hand, the current executive director is having a good time fighting with his old friends who have worked together for twenty or thirty years, and on the other hand, he has entrusted this matter to the Ministry of Finance, hoping to use the name of the Ministry of Finance to suppress Durin, and maybe this matter will be done.

After learning about the situation, the Ministry of Finance felt that this was also a solution, and Deputy Secretary Carroll took over the matter, he himself did not have any selfish intentions, and purely wanted to do a good job of this matter to end the current conflict between Doolin and the central bank.

Durin glanced at the smiling Deputy Chief Carol and decided to sell a good one, "As a citizen of the Empire, it is my duty to contribute to the peace of the Empire. Since things have already had such a big impact, perhaps I think the Ministry of Finance should take the lead and find a suitable opportunity to do this. I mean they need to show enough sincerity to apologize for non-proliferation on a small scale, what do you think?"

Deputy Minister Carroll breathed a sigh of relief, "There is no problem at all, your request is reasonable, and I will convey it to the central bank to facilitate this request." ”

Du Lin smiled and clapped his hands, "Okay, one thing has been solved, in fact, I also have a question I want to ask Deputy Secretary Carroll, as well as the Ministry of Finance." ”

Carol did what he had to do, he was in a very good mood, the smile on his face was a lot more sincere, and Durin's gaze softened a lot, "It's okay, let's analyze it." ”

"I know of no state stake in the Reich's central bank, and I believe that whether the bank is a union or a central bank or whatever, there is no difference in essence between bankers and capitalists, who are always seeking more profit. Is there a possibility that one day when the profits they face outweigh their loyalty to the Empire, is it possible for them to satisfy their own needs at the expense of the Empire?"

Deputy Chief Carol frowned slightly, "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Doolin. ”

"What I mean is simple, is the Treasury interested in forming a real 'central bank'?"

"A state-controlled, real central bank of the Empire?"
