Chapter 311: General Assembly (2-in-1, Subscription Requested!! )
What is a capitalist, Ma Wei saw today.
The so-called borrowing business of the second prince is actually a loan, and anyone who has taken out a loan to buy a house knows how high the interest rate is.
A house worth 2 million pounds, calculated at an interest rate of 3.8%, will be repaid for 25 years, and in the case of equal principal and interest, 3.4 million will eventually be repaid with principal and interest.
What is this concept?
A house worth 2 million, if you just borrow money, you will have to pay nearly double the price!
This is more profitable than grabbing money, and the key is legitimate.
If you can't repay the loan, the house will be taken away by the bank and auctioned, and you will be the only one who will be hurt.
The parliamentarians present in the room all have deep backgrounds, and even have a bank at home, the Thames Bank, which is a member of the Gordon family as a director.
They are all over the world, they are brightly dressed, and every sip of red wine they drink and every steak they eat is the blood and sweat of countless workers.
Ma Wei dared to promise that he would set fire to all these people now and ensure that there would be no unjust, false or wrongful convictions.
These people can be burned to death, and someone else will take their place as the new dragon.
Only by becoming in power can we eradicate the evil dragon as much as possible.
"Your Highness's idea is truly amazing."
Girard laughed, "If we do this, then we will make a lot of money."
"More than that." The second prince said in a calm tone: "A few months ago, Nicholas proposed the establishment of an educators' association, he believed that education was the top priority of a country, I didn't think so before, but now I think he is very right. ”
Under Ma Wei's gaze, the second prince spoke eloquently: "London, the capital of the Kingdom of Windsor, a giant city with a population of millions!" But what? The literacy rate is amazingly low! ”
"It's heartbreaking!"
Covering his chest, the second prince put on a sad look: "Only by getting a good education can the people make more money and buy a house, isn't it?" ”
Everyone looked at each other, and they couldn't understand the path of the second prince for a while.
"His Royal Highness means that in order to sell houses better, it is better to implement the school district housing system, change the current chaotic school environment, establish excellent public schools, and use the form of district enrollment to increase housing prices in a certain area."
Baron Frederick lit a cigarette and said: "Nicholas is right, ordinary people want to cross classes and live a better life, in addition to luck, it is very necessary to get a good education, if education is respected, it can not only screen talents for the kingdom, but also give hope to the people, and at the same time sell the house, make money, have fame, and your majesty will reward him, isn't it three birds with one stone?" ”
"Yes!" The second prince took over the conversation: "This is a huge industrial chain!" We can only earn more if we increase housing prices! It was Nicholas who opened my mind! ”
The corners of Ma Wei's mouth twitched slightly, and he wanted to scold his mother.
He never thought that the second prince would link education and real estate, although this also conformed to the development of history, but he was still very unhappy.
In fact, he can't be blamed for this, education can be turned into a tool to make money, and the same is true for houses, capitalists will of course link education and real estate in order to grab more profits, which is inevitable.
"Well, if Your Highness wishes, we should vigorously promote education, establish schools, and reform public schools."
One of the councillors pondered, "But the problem is that the kingdom has established an Association of Educators, and the president is His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, and these things are under his control. ”
"It's a real problem."
The second prince sat back in his seat and sighed: "Now Arthur supports Charles, and the two of them are bound together, if we rely on real estate to make money, I'm afraid we will be blocked by Charles"
After the election, the Conservative Party with the largest number of members is still the ruling party, with the most voice in the House of Commons, and the Educators' Association is in the middle.
"Or. Get a slice of the action? Someone proposed: "Harmony makes money, everyone can earn more by working together, not to mention that the metropolitan subway plan is in the hands of the eldest prince, and the housing prices around the neighborhoods with the subway will also rise." ”
"No way!"
The second prince immediately refused, and said sharply: "Promoting education is not just about making money! More about strengthening the Liberal Party! We have established a public school that allows girls to attend, so that we can win over Freya's women's union, and at the same time, in the eyes of the people, we are doing good things that benefit the people! It will be loved and supported! ”
Making money is in the dark.
Once the plan is implemented, the public will only realize that there are more public schools, and children can really learn things in school, and they can be admitted to well-known universities such as Oxford and Cambridge as preferential students, which is an opportunity to change their fate!
That's not a bad thing.
At least in Mavey's view, improving the poor learning environment in public schools, hiring quality teachers, and conducting regular audits is indeed a good thing for the people.
As a result, countless children will be admitted to universities and live a life that they never dared to think of before.
Using real estate to make money is a story for another time.
The second prince has great ambitions, in addition to making money, he also wants to use it to increase his prestige, and it is best to overpower the eldest prince and become the most suitable candidate for the king in the eyes of the people.
"Nicholas, how do you think we should bypass the Educators' Association?"
"Your Highness, it is impossible to bypass the Educators' Association, it is like mobilizing the army to bypass the Cabinet, it is simply unrealistic."
"The responsibility of the Association of Educators is to manage the schools, and if you want to promote education and reform the education system, you must have their support," Ma said. ”
"Arthur is Charles's man, and they've been getting close lately, if I go and talk to him about it, won't Charles know?"
"There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the implementation of education is such a big thing, the eldest prince will know sooner or later, instead of dwelling on this aspect, it is better to find a way to pass a series of measures such as the education reform bill and the old city renovation plan."
"You have a point."
The second prince raised his head and looked at the parliamentarians seated, there are 22 constituencies in London, and the councillors of each constituency have a lot of power, before submitting the bill to Parliament, it is better to take the first step, secretly buy houses at low prices, and then build schools, increase the price of surrounding properties, and earn the difference.
This method is the safest, even if the promotion of education is in vain, the house will not be smashed in the hands, after all, it is a house in London, and it is still easy to sell it to outsiders.
"The election is just over, the people are watching us, and the parties usually take the opportunity to introduce some bills, and even if they don't pass, they can let the people know that they have tried, and the Liberal Party is no exception."
The second prince said, "Girard, you go and draft a joint bill to be introduced in the parliament the day after tomorrow." ”
"Yes!"
"Gordon, you go back and mobilize the family, let the Thames Bank as a guarantee, and take out a sum of money to invest in the Moss family's construction company, so that they can raise the construction of the public school."
"Understood."
"Moss, you get the money, and you start looking for a place to build a public school, there are still too few public schools in London, and there are many children who can't go to school, but remember that the location is not important, the important thing is to be able to buy a nearby house at a low price."
"Yes!"
After speaking, the second prince looked at Ma Wei again: "Nicholas, do you want to invest a little?" ”
"What to invest in?"
"Invest in real estate!"
The second prince said: "We first find a suitable place to build a public school, and then buy the surrounding houses, and when the public school is built, we will start to sell the surrounding houses at a high price and make a lot of money!" With such a lucrative business, will you come? ”
"I'll forget it."
"Aren't you trying to make money?"
Ma Wei smiled: "I really want to make money, but real estate is a long-term investment, and the return of funds is too slow, and at present, Manstein Potions Company is in a period of rapid expansion outward, and liquidity is too important, so I want to make sure that the funds are sufficient, and invest in real estate, Your Highness, you can just do it, don't worry about me." ”
"Well, well, I'll listen to you."
The second prince did not force it, he and the other councilors' funds were completely enough to invest, and he called Nicholas purely to get a piece of his pie, since he didn't want it, then keep it for himself.
Compared to real estate investment, it is definitely the potions business that is the most important.
Two days flew by, and on Friday, the Capitol held its first parliament after the general election.
The First Parliament was solemn and solemn, and it was a formal assembly open to the rest of the world, with the participation of all the upper and lower houses, including the Cabinet.
The ruling party seat is on the left side, the opposition party seat is on the right, the middle is the high platform used to make speeches, and the north side of the high is the speaker's seat, which is responsible for maintaining order in the parliament, and behind the speaker's seat is the king's seat, the lower house is not allowed to enter the king, but the upper house can, to be precise, the king is not allowed to enter the house where the lower house is in session.
The door of the chamber was open, and the MPs walked into the hall with messy footsteps, and took their seats in turn according to their position in the party, the first row in the middle of the cabinet members, followed by the party whip, and the second prince was able to enter the chamber not because of his status as a prince, but because he was a member of the House of Lords.
If he does not have the support of the House of Commons, the prime minister will have to go into the opposition, so the cabinet includes representatives elected by all parties, and although the prime minister is appointed by the king, he must also have the support of the House of Commons, otherwise he cannot become prime minister.
Winston Churchill is a Conservative MP who sits in the middle of the ruling party's seats, flanked by Prince Charles and Earl Austin, the Conservative Party whip.
In the middle of the opposition seats, sitting in the center is Sir Seko, a representative elected by the Liberal Party to enter the Cabinet, in addition to several cabinet members from other parties such as Gerard and Rupert.
Ma Wei sat in the first row, he was now a member of the Liberal Party, more important than many old men of the Liberal Party, sitting next to the second prince and Baron Frederick, such a prominent position, not everyone can sit there.
The fourth prince and Freya and even Gawain also sat in the first row, and the party whips of all parties sat in the first row, next to Ma Wei was Freya, and next to the fourth prince Arthur and Gawain, this layout
It made him feel like he was being pinched.
"Take off the white handkerchief on your chest."
Freya, who was sitting next to her, whispered, "Fold them into squares, put them on your lap, and if you want to agree with a certain councilor, wave your handkerchief, and don't move if you don't agree." ”
"Hmm."
Mavi knew these rules, and when he took off his handkerchief, he did not forget to look back at the spectators, where Yunia was lying on the railing and looking at him, and Levine was there.
The spectators were not allowed to speak or speak, and were to remain there like a log unless the Speaker had permission them.
If you break the rules, you will be kicked out of the chamber.
The fourth prince, Arthur, was still wearing a black suit, but the white flowers on his chest were replaced by handkerchiefs, and he sat quietly in his seat, his face was flat, as if he was not interested in other things at all.
"Freya, Freya!"
The second prince crossed over to Ma Wei and called Freya's name, and Freya said impatiently, "What are you doing?" It's about to start! Can it be quieter? ”
"In a moment, we will introduce the Education Reform Bill, and you remember to support us."
"Support you? Why? ”
"Because the Education Reform Act allows women to go to school! Do you understand? Women are allowed to go to school! Isn't that what you've always dreamed of? ”
Freya's eyes flashed, and she asked curiously, "Why are you so kind?" Shukry, what the hell are you thinking? ”
"I don't have any ideas! In short, if you want women to have the right to go to school, let the Democrats support the Liberal proposal! We'll take care of the rest! ”
Freya didn't know what Shukri was doing, but she was sure of one thing—it wasn't a good idea, or it was profitable!
The latter is more likely.
"Hey."
Freya elbowed Mavi's ribs and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?" ”
Ma Wei looked at the second prince who was staring at him, and then at Freya, with an expression as if to say: Did you inquire about the information so much?
"It's not a bad thing." Ma Wei said: "It has something to do with you, but the pros outweigh the disadvantages. ”
In front of the second prince, of course, Ma Wei couldn't tell all the information, so he could only remind Freya euphemistically.
If the Education Reform Act is passed, women will have the right to education, and in this way, women will have the opportunity to create more productivity, which is the key to being able to turn around!
The school district room or something, it's just a temporary gain or loss.
Again
Mavi also had a way to deal with it, and he had already discussed it with Arthur before starting the meeting.
Freya gave Mavi a deep look, asking no more, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
Bell Bell Bell –
Bell Bell Bell –
"Silence!"
The Speaker rang the bell to silence the hall, then put on his glasses and called the meeting open and read out the bill that had been submitted in advance by the parties.
"The first topic: "Proposal for the planned expansion of the metropolitan subway", by . Krafo Vaseff. ”
A middle-aged man with a seat in the ruling party stood up and walked up to the podium and began to explain the content of the proposal, which he wanted to expand the scope of the metropolitan subway to make it more convenient for more people.
For an inconsequential proposal like this, there is no partisanship, vote if you agree with it, and vote if you don't agree with it, and the second prince is the first to raise a handkerchief, faster than the eldest prince.
He was very much in favor of the expansion of the subway, for the simple reason that the subway was connected to the house. The selling price is higher.
"The second topic, the Education Reform Bill, was proposed by Baron Frederick."
Hearing Baron Frederick's name, the eldest prince immediately straightened his back, feeling that things were not so simple.
The bill submitted by the party whip in person must be greasy!
