Chapter 479 Anti-Industry Manipulation Act [1]

"It's our turn!", said Mr. John, arranging the corners of his sleeves, to his butler.

The whole project steward was involved and helped Mr. John with a lot of cover-ups and arrangements, and after Mark told Mr. John that the feature press was burned, his first reaction when he woke up was that someone was going to attack the George family. Mr. John knew better than Mark or Arthur and his siblings that the foundation of the George family lay in these three feature agencies. Once these three feature agencies made a mistake, it quickly shook the foundation of the George family.

Maybe they could rebuild the feature agency, but at that time, the right to speak in the field of the newspaper industry was not necessarily in their hands, and it only took a few days for someone to stand up and actively do enough work to overthrow the George family.

This has indeed been proven, and the reason why Mr. John did not "wake up" immediately was that he wanted to attract more opponents, and at the same time, he used the fact that he was unconscious to get some people to change their original plans.

The people who pushed for the whole thing may have prepared a more decisive and brutal way to cut off the foundations of the George family at first, but when he is unconscious, these people will slow down a little. In the cruel world of capital, eating is also a very important scoring point. Being able to eat a full stomach and not look ugly is something that all capitalists pursue. Drawing out more enemies and disrupting the enemy's plans, that's what Mr. John had in mind.

When the enemy was supposed to show up, and these people began to tie up their napkins in a false way, he appeared, disrupting the plans of these people again, and messing up all their steps. Only in this way can the George family be reinvigorated. It doesn't matter if Durin did it or not, because in Mr. John's eyes, Durin and the enemy have been equated. He may just be a pioneer, a vanguard, an inducement.

Just as Mr. John was about to push open the door and walk out of the "ward", the phone rang suddenly, he frowned, and walked over to pick up the phone himself, "This is George Manor." ”

The voice in the earpiece is a little weird, and the other party has done a good job of preparation, probably for fear of being monitored, "During the cabinet meeting a few days ago, Maggs proposed a new bill, and the cabinet and the Ministry of Justice improved the content, this bill is called the "Anti-Industry Manipulation Act", which has been sent to the Imperial Parliament ......"

Mr. John's face changed slightly, and the general content of the bill could be guessed just by the name of the bill. He covered the microphone, turned his head to look at the butler and asked, "What day of the week is today?"

The butler didn't hesitate to tell him that it was Monday.

Yes, yesterday was Sunday, so Mark initially put the time of the conference on Sunday, and the conference was held during non-working hours, so as not to delay the working hours of the newspaper directors too much. Unfortunately, something went wrong, so it was delayed until the next day, which is today, in the open air at the George family's estate, so today is Monday.

Monday is a very ordinary day, but it is also a very unusual day, because it is the first working day of the week, and many companies and official departments will meet routinely to arrange the work of the week. Similarly, Monday, the second week of October, is the fourth quarter of each year when the Imperial Diet is convened.

The Imperial Diet meets four times a year in accordance with its constitution and conventions, and is the day on which the Imperial Assembly is convened on the second Monday of the first month of each quarter. Depending on the content flow, the duration of the session will range from one day to five days. In addition, if there are very special circumstances, an extraordinary meeting can also be convened, which can be convened only with 35 per cent of the members present, while a normal meeting requires the presence of 70 per cent of the members.

John already had some speculation in his mind, and he lowered his voice and asked, "So what's the situation?"

"It has been passed, it is being included in the Imperial Code, and some parliamentarians are debating whether to include this bill in the Basic Law. The favor I owe you is over, and good luck, old John. ”

The phone line was cut off with a click, and John hung up the phone a little dazed, thinking that his opponents and enemies would not be too many, they were all his old enemies. The capitalists who are surrounded like sharks are not enemies, it is only their nature to be attracted by profits, and once they settle down, they will naturally retreat.

To be sure, if he had had had been given such an opportunity, he would have hovered around the table with a knife and fork, waiting for the moment to grab a seat.

But he never imagined that Maggs would be involved in this, and he proposed such a bill and passed it in the Imperial Assembly. To say that this bill has nothing to do with his George family, the old guy is willing to bet with his head that his political sense is definitely the most sensitive one after living for so long, and this matter definitely has something to do with him. But why is it that all of a sudden, the top brass of the New Party is going to attack the George family? He was a little puzzled, and sat on the edge of the bed a little staggeringly, his brain faintly swollen.

Has it gotten to this point, and why is the whole world suddenly different?

He asked himself that he had never sinned against the top of the New Party, and that no matter what kind of political news he had, he had the editor-in-chief and editor-in-chief of the feature agency guarantee a politically neutral position, and he never favored any politician or any political party. People say that the George family's report is the most timely and fair, which is the main reason why the George family has survived to this day.

He has considered whether it will be because of the problem of taking sides, for example, reporting some news that damages the image of the new party, but he has always been very cautious in this regard, and there will never be such a fatal mistake. Even the deal between Mark and Duhrin was also mixed up by him, in order to ensure that the George family is always outside the political arena, and they will not have any position and will always stand in a neutral perspective.

In fact, sometimes, a position of neutrality is itself a subjective position, especially in politics.

There are three camps in politics, black and white, and for those big names, the neutral George family is the grayest one. He did maintain a neutral stance, but there is also a saying in the political arena - if not a friend, then must be an enemy!

This is an affirmative expression, there is no such thing as a "bystander" in a political struggle, either everyone is their own or an enemy, and there is no neutrality at all.

The reason why the George family has such an attribute as "politics" has something to do with the business they run, that is, newspapers.

As the mainstream media platform in today's world, the value of newspapers to politics is more important than any other industry. From politicians attacking each other to political parties, newspapers are inseparable from this way of giving their voices. But now this avenue is not in the hands of any politician's political party, but is firmly in the hands of an "outsider", which makes many politicians very uncomfortable.

When I saw the newspaper, there were no more swearing, no more attacks on the other party's political program, no more greetings to the other party's family members, and only my own political ideas remained.

For those politicians at the bottom of the political arena, this kind of newspaper without obvious orientation and position is a good newspaper, but for the bigwigs who need to use the newspaper and use the newspaper as a weapon to attack their political opponents, this neutral model is a cancer in the political arena.

They need newspapers with more obvious tendencies and positions to do their best to criticize political opponents, curse political opponents, spit on political opponents, and praise their great achievements without a bottom line.

At the same time, the George family is also one of the best tycoons, and newspaper tycoons are a little different from tycoons in other industries, which are not so easy to overthrow. For example, the railroad tycoon Collilles, if he hadn't fallen himself, would someone else be able to bring him down?

Secretly digging a section of railroad?

Or will you pay for a new rail network with a larger total of kilometers and a larger area?

It is impossible, this kind of person can only make Collies feel the crisis and have a chance to fall if he falls on his own, or if another strong competitor appears.

Otherwise, no one can do it.

Not to mention those steel tycoons, he has dozens of steel mills that blow him up, and he can still sell ore after blowing up all the steel mills.

But the George family is different, this family has only three feature agencies, and their roots are not deeply implanted in the ground, but exposed to the air. That's why Mr. John is actively expanding his printing business before he feels old. He actually had a sense of crisis at that time, but unfortunately it was not so easy to cross the line, not only would he pull the balls, but he might also be pierced by sharp proportions and the egg whites would be scattered all over the ground.

Now that this hidden bomb has finally exploded, the George family is just an appetizer for Mags, and the deterrence of a well-known industry tycoon with the Anti-Industry Manipulation Act will be lethal to those large trusts and syndicate enterprises, which will also benefit the empire's control and restraint on the capitalists.

Once it is certain that the George family will fall in the Anti-Industry Manipulation Act, Maggs will raise his butcher's knife and slash down on the other big capitalists who monopolize the industry. Although it may not kill them all, it at least gives them a sense of fear and "truth."

As for the sacrificial George family?

In the process of social progress, this family has contributed a small strength, and history will remember this family and these people.

The first trust to fall under the Anti-Industry Manipulation Act.

It is the highest honor to be remembered by history!
