Chapter 472: Growth [3] "Eating and Reading Books and Waiting for the Dead Boss to Die on Demand +4"
"I thought you were going to call me. Maggs is a very charismatic person, his tone and context always make people feel the cultivation and dignity hidden in his voice, as well as his peace, even if he complains, it will not make people feel embarrassed, but like a complaint between old friends, "As a result, I called you, I have some questions to ask you, I hope you can let me sleep well tonight." ”
Dühring smiled and nodded, even though it was impossible for Marx to see, but he did it, because of a natural atmosphere, as if he and Maggs had passed through the constraints of space and time, and were sitting and chatting face to face at this time, "Please say, as long as I can answer, I will definitely answer for you." ”
"Why make enemies? You should know that your main opponents at the moment are Capet and the Synod of Songs, and if you can't defeat them, you'll never be able to make it to the top. The George family thing will make people realize how dangerous you are, they will reject you, and in our circle, hands-on is always the lowest way. ”
If you say that you do not agree on politics and do it, I am afraid that there is only one official in the entire empire, and that is Magus. The vast majority of politicians are silently abiding by a rule that has no written nature, that is, what is within the system, is solved within the system. To explain simply, if you don't like me, you can get me out of power, but you need to prohibit it. Breaking the rules is just that the price of the rules collapsing is too heavy for anyone to afford.
Maggs did not say bluntly that Dühring had done something stupid, on the one hand, because the George family was not a political family, and they did not have any incumbent officials, and secondly, Margers did not like these capitalists from the bottom of his heart. He needed the power of capital to quickly revive the empire and support the policies of the new party. But the power of capital, having lost its dog leash, has swelled to the point where it begins to threaten the real masters of the country in turn.
If it weren't for the fact that the power of capital has penetrated into all aspects of this society, perhaps Mags would have raised the butcher's knife and put dog chains on all capitalists.
But now that Dühring was acting against the George family, Maggs felt that it was not the right time, because he, including the New Party and all those who were determined to restrain the power of capital, did not have the initiative in this war. They can only respond passively, unable to take the initiative, and a sudden action by Durin is very likely to make the sensitive capitalists taste something special.
That's where the call came in.
"I originally planned to use the power of the George family in public opinion to promote the progress of public opinion, so that the people will take the initiative to discover the corrosion of capital power on this empire and the negative impact on society, and then they will trample on the Anthem Consortium. Trampling on one of the Chant Consortiums, there will be a second and a third, until the power of capital returns to what can be managed. For Mags, Durin thinks that he can say this plan, whether it is him or Maggs is actually very clear in his heart.
After the power of capital is expanded, it is difficult to let them take it back, and the so-called restraint and management are just a nice way to say, at most to find a balance between capital and politics, at least not as far as now.
After hearing this, Maggs had to praise the benefits of Durin's idea, and Dührin did not directly face such a behemoth as the Anthem Consortium himself, but chose to rely on the power of the people. As the prime minister who runs the empire, Maggs knows very well that many times the people are always subordinated to public opinion, and to put it mildly, the people are easily deceived by mainstream public opinion, and it does not take much trouble to deceive them, but only needs to push it.
He didn't ask Durin in detail about the details of the plan, and he knew that even if he asked, Durin might not answer. Everyone knows how to say the general direction, and as for how to do it, it is a personal ability.
He was a little curious, why did the current situation occur when he already had a relatively well-developed plan?
"Did the Capets say hello to Old John? so they refused to continue working with you?"
Durin couldn't help but laugh, because he had thought the same thing at first, "It's not the Capetian family, it's Mr. John." He thought I might be too dangerous and would drag the George family into the mud, so he asked Mark to tell me that the cooperation was terminated, while giving me an option I didn't know about. I have always believed that the dragon in mythology is not respected and feared because it can be reasonable. ”
"Its strength comes from its threat to other creatures, and it's a good thing to show its sharp teeth properly. When someone hits me with an idea, they think about whether they will break their teeth and get me to bite back. Durin's tone was just as calm, as if there was a joke in the middle of a small talk, "I'm just a farmer's child to you, and to the big guys, and maybe that's one of my strengths." I don't have the drag of my family, I don't have the shackles of power, I can do what I want, as long as they are willing to compete, I don't mind fighting. ”
Maggs listened very carefully, and he smiled and said: "Your words remind me of when I was young, and I always felt that there was nothing to make me afraid, but sometimes you will understand that giving in or retreating is not a shame, but a sign of wisdom." Especially when you have your back to the abyss, you take a step back, and your enemy takes a step closer, which also means that he is one step closer to the abyss. ”
"I'm deeply inspired by your words, I have a little immature idea, I wonder if you would be interested in hearing it?"
Magston was interested, and every time he talked to Duhrin deeply, he was always able to get a lot of divergent thinking, and he was able to think about more possibilities, and he immediately became interested, "It seems that I can't get a good rest tonight, but I look forward to your immature ideas more." ”
On the fourth day of the incident, news of the burning of the George Family Press Agency had spread throughout the empire, and even the Federation and countries further south reported on it, with some calling it the greatest loss in the history of human civilization. Because in these three feature publishing agencies, nearly 70 years of reports are stored, and even the library does not have a comprehensive store of them.
Of course, more people are gloating, the George family has been dealt a fatal blow, and it is not as simple as rebuilding three buildings to restore the Feature Agency's former position in the newspaper industry.
On such a morning, Mark was in a state of anxiety, and after answering a phone call, he was slightly furious, and even slammed the whole phone to the ground.
The secretary who heard the unusual noise entered the room and was immediately frightened by the hideous Mark and lost the ability to speak, she had never seen such a terrifying Mark, the always gentle Mark was gone, replaced by a demon walking out of hell.
"Bastard!", Mark walked back and forth, tugging at his hair as he went, the white foam on the corner of his mouth making him look a little hysterical, "These bastards, they all deserve hell, yes, they all deserve hell!"
Just now, several newspapers in the southern state of Canres have joined forces to declare the George family's shareholding illegal, and have formed a "newspaper alliance" that will declare war on the George family, the monopoly of the newspaper industry, for press freedom.
There is no doubt that someone, and a powerful person, has learned of John's situation and has begun to push the first shot of the newspaper counterattack. Immediately afterwards, some newspapers came forward to file a complaint with the court, accusing the George family of using the family's influence in the newspaper industry to forcibly buy their shares and monopolize resources.
These people believe that this is a shameful act of "buying and selling" because the George family controls the source of journalism, and they have to give up their shares at a low price in exchange for the "protection" and "care" that the George family has given them in the newspaper industry.
There must have been a driving force behind the sudden eruption of these events, the purpose of which was the supremacy of the George family in the newspaper industry.
Once the George family declines, it is conceivable that those "good friends" on weekdays will pounce on and bite until the George family becomes a thing of the past.
"How could he do this, how could he dare to do this?", Mark casually knocked over the clear blue lamp on the table to the ground, and the precious cultural relics and artworks worth tens of thousands of dollars were shattered into a pile of pieces on the ground.
"There must be a way!", Mark was a little panicked, he had never faced such a situation, and the spearhead of the capital forces suddenly pointed at him, the spear-wielding, so that he could not find a way out. He forced himself to calm down, not paying any attention to the secretary standing aside. He walked back and forth for a while, and at this time he wished that Mr. John had not fainted, and how he wished that Mr. John would stand outside the door in good spirits and tell him "be quiet".
He stood there like a wounded beast looking at the broken blue agate fragments on the ground, and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he looked up, his eyes returned to clarity, and he was more resolute.
"Sorry to let you see the joke, let people clean up, we may be busy for a long time. With a smile on his face, he walked back to his desk and sat down in his chair.
I can't count on Mr. John now, so I can only do it myself.
"When I got the legal department out, I remember that all the newspapers had a mutual agreement to sue the Canlois newspaper for breach of the agreement, and they were required to compensate us for our losses and apologize publicly. He bowed his head slightly and muttered, "In addition, contact all the newspapers that have not come forward, and I invite them to come to the imperial capital to discuss the establishment of the 'Newspaper Alliance'!"
Stress, panic.
But sometimes, it can also make people grow quickly.
