Chapter 1268: The Awake Man
After getting off work at 4 p.m., Dolly was still in the office on official business, and she had been living in the office for a while now, busy with these official documents and talking to members of the middle level of the New Party from morning to night, and had no time to waste on the road and in her spare family life.
At present, the mayors, governors, and members with specific practical control are doing well, mostly because the power in their hands now comes from the new party, and even if the imperialist party offers them better conditions, they will not be able to enter the profit period immediately.
The Imperial Party has just been formed, and it does not yet have its own loyal base, and there is some gossip that His Royal Highness the Grand Prince is in contact with the old nobles in the north, and he intends to take root in the Imperial Party in the north.
Most of the nobility of the empire lived in the north, and in the past only the degraded and punished nobles would place their fiefdoms in the southern cities or on the east coast, where the "poor" and "losers" went.
This is also the main reason why the northerners have always looked down on the southerners in the empire, and it has historical origins.
This also makes the environment in the north more suitable for the development of the imperial party, the aristocratic system and the feudal dynasty are a pair of good brothers who complement each other and love and kill each other, and they cannot simply use a certain incident as the whole of the relationship between the two sides.
The royal family had to use the power of the nobility to strengthen its rule over the region, and the nobility also needed the royal family to mediate the contradictions between the nobility and the nobility, and the two sides cooperated and had conflicts in many places.
In any case, the cooperation and tacit understanding between the nobility and the royal family is not found anywhere else, and if the Grand Prince can promise some benefits, the nobles may not help him, at least the royal family has never issued any rules about the "abolition of the privileged class", but Maggs and the New Party did.
However, at this time, those officials who have already stood in front of the stage and have a certain amount of power will not get any practical benefits by defecting to the imperial party, they will have to wait a few years, and then take charge of the ruling side on a territory where the aristocracy has the final say, and if you think about it, you know that it is a joke at all.
The nobles will not let them put their hands into their own territory, and whoever dares to reach out will break their hands.
Therefore, this is not a good choice, but those middle-level cadres who do not yet have actual power are one of the main targets of the other party's wooing.
These people have many years of good work experience in the new party, and they are very good at the daily work and maintenance of the party, and they are very knowledgeable, and they may not have a good reputation in the political arena, but they are also an important part of the new party.
As long as these people are pulled away, the imperial party will soon be able to be fully formed, and immediately put into operation, many of them can not only dominate the party, but also may marry the local nobles, this is the most tempting thing!
Most of the people Dolly talked to were such middle-level cadres in the party who did not hold official positions.
At four o'clock, she leaned back in her chair a little tired, looking out the window at the sunset, the accident that Mags had encountered was indeed very anxious, but what was even more frightening was that the new party was not as perfect and strong as people thought, just because of Maggs's injury, there were so many problems.
If one day Maggs dies and dies of old age, what will happen to the New Party?
The figure of Durin and the words he had said before he left popped up in her mind's eye—
"A party whose leader is not tough enough, who has no courage, who has no ability, who has no intelligence, is like a fragrant barbecue in the political arena, and everyone will come and take a bite, and they don't need to worry that the barbecue will retaliate against them. ”
"Bowers is too weak, and his heart is no longer on the party and these things, His Excellency the Chairman may have his own ideas, and everyone else is waiting for the final outcome. ”
"No one cares what we will face after the defeat of the new party, they only care about how to protect their interests from being violated, Dory, only we really care about this party, everything about the new party, then we should take care of it!"
Yes, no one cares about it, the empty office building locks the door with the last administrator leaving, and there is not the slightest noise here, like a building that has been empty for many years.
Every room, every hallway, there isn't the slightest sound, and there's no one else here but themselves, they don't care about that, especially after Maggs' injury.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and Dolly trembled, she glanced at the non-stop ringing phone of "Earth Spirit Lingling", and smiled a little self-deprecatingly, "This is the office of Dolly of the New Party Committee......"
"Yes yes, I know, Dolly, are you free at night? I booked a room in the best hotel in the imperial capital, invited some friends, some of whom you know, and we will get together in the evening?", the voice on the other end of the phone is very magnetic, even through the phone, you can associate the other end of the telephone line through the voice, it must be a very attractive man.
But this person's invitation, Dolly didn't want to agree, because he was His Royal Highness the Grand Prince, that despicable and shameful attempt to steal the backbone of the New Party's thirty years of development, a real villain!
But sometimes some things are like that, you can not like someone, hate him, hate him, but when you face him, you have to smile and make him feel that you are good friends with each other.
Once you put on a mask, it's hard to take it off, and even if you have to take it off, it's for another mask.
She politely declined the invitation of the eldest prince, she didn't want this to be a bureau, and she didn't want to be fooled stupidly, "Very, very sorry, Your Highness, the door of the office building has been locked, I have no way to leave, and I still have a lot of official documents to deal with, you know, we have encountered some trouble in recent times......"
She took this opportunity to fight back against what His Royal Highness the Great Prince did, and encountered some trouble, no one knew better than His Royal Highness the Great Prince what trouble they had encountered, but using such a reason to reject him also showed the resoluteness of Dolly's heart.
His Royal Highness the Grand Prince laughed, and skipped the evening invitation without care, but still did not give up, "It's a pity that you can't come at night, we will be very disappointed, but it doesn't matter, when are you free, we can make an appointment next time!"
After being denied, the invitation was sent again, and His Royal Highness the Grand Prince showed his tough attitude and his sense of proportion in a special way, he did not speak ill of Dolly or even expose Dolly's lies.
You can't get out if the door is locked, you can't get out if you open the windows on the first floor, and the security measures outside the office building of the New Party headquarters are not much worse than those in the imperial palace, and even if all the doors and windows are open, no thief will dare to enter and steal anything.
But if someone really wants to go in and steal something, it doesn't matter whether the doors and windows are open or not, whether there are guards outside the door or not, it's useless.
He knew that this was just a reason for refusal, so instead of debunking, he issued a second invitation.
Dolly was silent for a moment, she knew that this could not be pushed, and if she continued to push, it would cause the two of them to turn their faces immediately.
As a woman, she has the qualities that all women should have, gentleness, thoughtfulness, carefulness, and kindness...... , but she also has many shortcomings that women have, lack of assertiveness, lack of decision, and some hesitation when necessary.
If it was Du Lin at this time, Du Lin would hang up the phone directly, and turn his face and turn his face, and the Kesma family has never been afraid of the word "turn face".
But now after all, it was Dolly, the old woman, a lady, she hesitated for a moment, and said with some hesitation, "That...... Well, I'll have a period of time around ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow and go to work at one o'clock in the afternoon, about two hours. ”
The eldest prince laughed, "Great, then let's talk about it, ten days in the morning of the day after tomorrow, I will send someone to pick you up, I am very much looking forward to meeting you, lady......"
After the phone was hung up, there was some anger on Dory's face, and there were other things, and she didn't know how complicated her facial expression was at this time.
On the other side of the phone line, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince smiled disapprovingly after hanging up the phone, then picked up the phone again and dialed another number according to the number on a slip of paper.
After three waiting sounds, a young voice rang out, "This is Doolin!"
Originally, His Royal Highness the Grand Prince organized a small banquet to win over Dolly, and the three souls of the new party, in addition to Maggs and the chairman of the new party committee, also had a little fame and few people knew about Dolly outside the party.
Dolly's greatness lies in the fact that she maintains a good relationship with the middle and some of the lower levels of the entire New Party, and is the guide of these people, who all joined the New Party through Dolly's signature, and this woman is affectionate no matter what.
Some of the swingers have clearly stabilized after Dolly's conversation, which shows that her potential influence on the New Party is not actually under Maggs, but most people are unaware of it, including herself.
But the eldest prince found out, and he also understood where the focus of the next work was, if he could get the woman Dolly and pull her into his camp, there would definitely be a group of people in the new middle school who would immediately defect to him, such as the commoners.
After Bowers came to power, he did a little except for the first half of the year, and since then he has been socializing all day, and even if there are meetings, he rarely sets an example, and of course he will still do the necessary work to protect the interests of the common people.
But this is the political stage, and what everyone is pursuing is not the warmth of the big family, but the invincible cold!
A leader who protects his shortcomings is far from having the ability to lead everyone farther, and a higher leader is more in line with the requirements of these people.
As long as Dolly can poach it, these commoners, who already feel that their future is bleak, will immediately follow.
In fact, in Mags's plan, including Dühring's plan, after Bowers was abolished, Schnoder would immediately take Bowers's position and become the new standard-bearer of the party.
Now some of the new members of the new party do not think that it is correct to engage in ideological confrontation with the aristocratic faction, and Schnoder did not deliberately maintain his image and did not follow Bowworth's example, living in a simple house even though he had money, and pretending that he could not solve anything when he had power.
He belongs to a new faction, the doer.
But that was for later, and now he lacked some qualifications, and after four to eight years of governorship, after his status in the party had been raised, he would be transferred to the party as the whip of the eighteenth number one in the party, and then he would be promoted to the position of the commoners.
Now, he can't.
Therefore, as long as Dolly is co-opted, not to mention poaching all the backbones of the New Party, at least one-fifth will decide to come down and join the Imperial Party.
But this woman was uninteresting and refused the request of the eldest prince tonight, and the eldest prince invited a lot of people to this small chat-like dinner, celebrities in the political and business worlds, as well as several celebrities, and some influential tycoons.
The value of these people is to set the mood, to make Dolly feel a special atmosphere in the small talk, and ultimately to be more easily moved.
It is difficult for one person to convince another person, but it is not necessarily so difficult for more people to convince another person.
If she doesn't come, this scene can't be wasted like this, no matter how you say that a dinner will cost tens of thousands of yuan, it would be too wasteful to eat and drink purely by yourself, so he made a call to the second target, that is, Du Lin.
Many people may think that Durin must be of the same mind as Maggs, but this common belief often means wrong.
The marriage between Durin and the Timamont family was based on the fact that Durin had no way out, in other words, he was forced to choose a way out, and Maggs had considered letting the royal family intervene in the marriage and marry the princess to Durin.
At that time, whether it was Maggs or Durin, neither side was completely looking at each other, they may be watching each other, plotting against each other, and keeping a distance.
But in the end, Maggs and Durin were able to choose as they were now, after removing all other options, so must Durin be willing?
Even if he liked his wife, even if he did make great progress now, even if he had a seemingly wonderful future, would he be willing?
To be forced to kneel on the ground and drink water by being forced to press your head to give you a ladder to the next level is not mercy, let alone charity, this is an insult!
Everyone thinks that Durin is Maggs's successor and his good partner, and the eldest prince wants to woo Durin to try.
If you don't give it a try, no one knows what will happen, but what if you succeed after trying?
Digging up the successor of Mags, the most promising son-in-law of the Timamont family in the future, will be an unparalleled blow to the new party and to the group of Mags!
There is no existence in this world, only willing to be reluctant, the eldest prince will not believe it, if he is willing to promise Du Lin to be the leader of the imperial party, if there is a chance to let him be the first prime minister of the imperial party, he will not believe that Du Lin is not moved!
This is really to build a person with the strength of one party, and the new party will not give him such resources and opportunities!
"Mr. Doolin, it's me...... Yes, do you have time in the evening, I want to talk to you......"
