"The governor told me that the central bank's people had also come to the west and asked me to prepare to receive them. At the dinner table, Julio talked about the greeting that the governor gave him yesterday, telling him that the Imperial Central Bank came to the west in order to solve the problems left over from the three-guarantee policy, and it is said that it was the cabinet that made the Imperial Central Bank act, so it is necessary to do a good job of reception. But for some reason, Julio heard something unfriendly from the governor's tone.

It's as if to tell him again, don't give face to the Reichsbank bank.

Each state had a large degree of autonomy, and in addition to the fact that it was necessary to adhere to the principles of an empire unchanged and its position unwavering, it was only necessary to abide by the basic laws of the empire and recognize the royal family. As for everything else, it can be implemented through consultation or by choosing not to implement the Cabinet resolution. Therefore, even if the Imperial Central Bank obtains the cabinet documents, the state government can refuse the Imperial Central Bank to implement the cabinet's resolution on the grounds that it is "not suitable for the local basic situation", which is the freedom of the state government.

This kind of management system is the old system left over from the era of the aristocracy, in the feudal period, each nobleman has his own territory, in their fief they are well-deserved emperors, people only recognize the rule of the nobility, do not care about the rule of the royal family, they are only loyal to the nobles in the fiefdom, claiming to be the children of the nobility, not the people of the royal family. In order to avoid the excessive expansion of the power of the nobility and the occurrence of civil war, later the royal family established a new position, the governor.

The Governor is the current governor, but in that he has only enough military power to suppress the localities, but has no power to build on the lands of the nobility. The appearance of the governor means that the royal family does not trust the locality, so it has such a role that is more like a "general" to guard the locality. However, the governors' thirst for power prompted them to take the first steps in local politics without royal permission or with the acquiescence of the royal family.

To this end, several neighboring governors created a horrific rebellion, implicating more than a dozen nobles of various sizes, and then sending them all to the gallows, thus beginning the long era of the governor's military and political power. However, it is a pity that the royal family began to distrust the governor again, believing that the governor's power exceeded the red line, so he deprived the governor of his military power and established local military districts subordinate to the central government to balance the power in the governor's hands.

After hundreds of years of fighting between the nobles, the governor, and the royal family, they were finally overthrown by a guy named Magus, ushering in a new era, but some things have not changed, just a new skin. That's why some people say that nobles are still nobles, but they are called differently.

Although the power of local self-government has been restrained to a certain extent, it is still quite free, and if the governor does not want to let the Imperial Central Bank in, the Imperial Central Bank really can't come in. Of course, this can only happen in the case of both sides, and once the Reich Bank starts to use his terrible network, even if the governor doesn't want to agree, he will have to say yes in the end.

Belito was not surprised that the central bank would intervene, and two of the top executives of the Southern Commercial Bank also held high-level positions in the Imperial Central Bank, and Bellito had long been aware of the actions of the Imperial Central Bank, and the degree of unity at the top of the Southern Commercial Bank was even more terrible than the outside world imagined. You must know that at the beginning, almost all of these bankers were forced by the Imperial Central Bank to face bankruptcy and commit suicide by jumping off the building, so even today, they will be wary of the central bank for a while and dislike them.

It's just that he definitely can't imagine that the delegation of the Imperial Bank of China has offended one of the highest CEOs here as soon as he came to the west, after all, the cooperation between the Imperial official and the Central Bank has always been good, and he has never heard of any contradictions.

Bellito put down his knife and fork, lowered his voice, and said, "The top brass of the central bank are very arrogant, and in their opinion, there are only two types of people in this world besides the bankers, the consortium and the poor, and even the government officials are placed in the category of the poor. At last year's annual meeting of the central bank's top management, a central bank chairman said that 60 percent of the empire's wealth was in the central bank's coffers. ”

"If those people give you a look, you can contact me and I'll be with you. ”

Julio could also guess what Belitto thought, and now everyone doesn't know what the governor and the central bank are talking about, as another contender in this matter, Belitto must want to know the real situation more closely. He looked like he wanted to put on a show for Julio, but in fact there was no shortage of ideas to inquire about the situation, and at the same time gave the central bankers a feeling that he Bellito was almost negotiated, and there was nothing left for them.

But Julio still appreciates Belito's statement, they have worked together in the south for a long time, and they can be said to be very good friends. The promotion and implementation of any policy is inseparable from financial support, and it is precisely because of Belitto that Julio can do a good job in the south and get a ticket to be promoted to governor. Moreover, he also intends to continue to maintain this model, compared with the more economically developed and more open-minded southern developed cities, if the conservative concept of the west cannot be broken, it will be difficult to usher in huge development, then his ticket is worthless.

Only by pushing the Southern commercial bankers led by I. Belito to obtain these policies and insureds left over from the three-guarantee policy could Berlito be persuaded to continue to support his cause in the west, and at the same time, Berlito had a reason to stay in the west, that is, the insurance business.

Friendship is never as strong as profit, this is Julio's experience!

"Don't worry, my friend, when the time comes, we'll go together to receive the people from the central bank, and I'm eager to see what their expressions will look on when they see you. Julio, who has already decoded some of the content from the governor's phone call, sold a favor, anyway, it is impossible for him to suffer a loss, and he can still earn one, why not?

Belitto obviously accepted this favor, isn't it an alternation of giving and giving when people live in the world?

Soon, their conversation shifted to the issue of the general strike, which was expected to start today and suddenly became mute, leaving them a little baffled. Before that, Julio had asked the press officer to release a message saying that he would solve the remaining problems of the three-guarantee policy as soon as possible, but this was just an act of best effort, and no one would think that publishing a message would prevent a general strike. Otherwise, the local atmosphere would not have been so tense, but it is strange that the general strike did not really start, but instead had a feeling of shrinking its head.

Obviously, they were ready for the general strike, but the general strike did not come, which was too disingenuating, after all, a lot of guidelines and countermeasures were prepared, so many brain cells died, and a punch in the air made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Have you heard any news lately? I think the suspension of the general strike may have something to do with something we don't know about, and if it's not good news, it's only going to get worse!", Julio fears that these working classes will not see a real solution to turn the general strike into a major upheaval, and if that is the case, it will have a devastating effect on him, for Vanlier, and for the whole of the West. It can be expected that a large number of capitalists will leave this unstable area, the local economy will decline rapidly, and a series of managers will be punished or even dismissed from their posts.

Belito was also puzzled, he had been reading the information left by Memnon for a while now, discussing with the senior management of the Southern Commercial Bank whether this cake could be eaten and how to eat it, and did not continue to pay attention to the issues related to the general strike. Even in the course of their discussions, one of the directors of NCB thought that a general strike was a very beneficial thing for them, and that only when a general strike broke out that they could show more value by reaching out.

This is a very important help for them to open up the western market through the insurance business, and once these old-fashioned western simple farmers become their customers, their savings will be transferred to the Southern Commercial Bank. Banks have a variety of ways to get them to do this, such as debiting the account directly and enjoying a 20% discount on the premium.

"Could it be that the workers' union played a corresponding role in this?" Belito, who did not understand the inside story, could only attribute the suspension of the general strike to the effective work done by the workers' union.

The two discussed for a moment without the slightest clue, and at this moment Julio's assistant ran over and whispered something in his ear, and Julio's eyes suddenly widened with a look of disbelief. He immediately picked up the napkin, wiped his mouth very rudely, and stood up, "Durin is buying the insurance contract!"

This sentence was like a thunderbolt on Belito's head, and when he stood up with his hands on the table, everyone in the restaurant looked at him.

"Doolin?"

"Why would he dare to do that?"

At this point, there was a person who was asking the same thing.

"Why do you dare to do that?"

"Do you know that if your problems lead to irreparable consequences in the west, you will be responsible, and even go to jail for it, why do you dare to do this?"

Phyllis ripped off his collar and walked up and down the hotel room, his receiver in his hand, and the phone falling to the ground because of his exaggerated movements. When he knew that the general strike was not coming, he immediately sent people to investigate what was happening, until someone told him that it was not Belitto who was secretly causing the trouble, but Dorin, and he was furious and called Doolin and dialed it.
