Schnoder rejected Mr. Kotchen's proposal in the morning, and Powers called him at noon.
This time, Powers' tone was far less peaceful than the conversation between the two parties when he was in the Imperial Capital. From Powers's voice, Schnoder felt a trace of suppressed impatience and anger.
"Mr. Keqin and the Eastern Consortium are currently one of our biggest supporters, but he told me that you rejected his reasonable request. Can you explain it?"
This was a typical tone of accusation. Schnoder knew it very well, but he did not show it. He still maintained his respect for the leader of the new party and the populist faction.
"Your Majesty the Leader, Mr. Kotchen's request has gone beyond my scope of authority as acting governor, and I cannot give him any meaningful answers or commitments." Schnoder added softly, "I heard that Mr. Dulin has already He won’t allow me to do this even if I wake up abroad.”
Schnoder promptly lifted out Du Lin, the guy with the word "trouble" written on his forehead. Powers was suddenly choked and short of breath.
The conflict between him and Du Lin was no secret for a long time. Even the last time he and Du Lin talked over the phone and was pushed back by Du Lin, it was publicized by some people, which damaged his prestige.
Dulin is like his nemesis, always making him very uncomfortable when it matters.
What made him even more angry was that Schnoder's current position as acting governor was obtained with his help. This idiot actually lost his position and sided with Dulin as soon as he turned around.
When he thought that he had spent some favors and resources to cultivate such a traitor, Powers became very angry and even had a trace of self-doubt.
Not only was he unable to defeat Du Lin, but even the people he pushed out to fight against Du Lin quickly fell to Du Lin. Did Du Lin cast a spell on him
Otherwise, why would anything related to Du Lin get out of control
Is it true that, as people say, there is some ulterior secret relationship between Dulin and the goddess of fate
Powers took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and continued to persuade: "If Dulin knew about this, he would not necessarily stop it. This is related to the next general election, do you understand?"
"The main reason why we lost to the old party this time was that we overestimated society's understanding of us and underestimated the old party's despicable methods. We must maintain everything we have now and actively open up new situations."
What Powers meant was that the old party used capitalists' despicable methods to win over the votes of the working class. They used work as an excuse to coerce workers into voting for the old party, and in this way they won the final victory.
The old party's attitude towards capitalists is not friendly, but this in itself is a very contradictory point. Most of the nobles themselves are capital forces, not to mention that the financial groups in the north are almost all composed of nobles.
On the one hand, they do not admit that they are capitalists, and on the other hand, they are expanding their business scope. In addition, some of the policies of the old party are more suitable for initial capital accumulation, and the middle class is inclined towards the old party. In the end, the old party won the election. victory.
The New Party Committee also studied this victory many times and finally found the gap between the new party and the old party - the votes of workers and the votes of the middle class.
The more developed the power of capital in a country, the more serious the tendency of the middle class towards "class restoration". They hope to use clear classes to divide society into different levels in order to flaunt their status, including gaining some power.
The old party made good use of these people and did some shameful things. In order to ensure a decisive counterattack in the next election, the new party committee did formulate some new rules.
Winning over some capital forces that have good relations with the new party is part of the new rules. This may seem to go against Maggs' vigilance and suppression of capitalism, but this is the general trend after all.
Especially in the current society, this is truly king.
The holding and upcoming IFTO is destined to promote the capitalization process of all countries around the world and stimulate the capital markets of various countries. In the next ten years, capital forces will enter a period of unprecedented prosperity and growth.
Since some things are irresistible, it is better to follow the trend and turn these things into weapons in your own hands.
Maggs ultimately did not stand up and say anything, and these new routes were set.
What Powers said is not wrong. The Eastern Consortium is indeed a relatively important force for the new party. They are different from the large consortiums that have already been formed. They have more small and medium-sized entrepreneurs within the organization.
These entrepreneurs may not necessarily employ fewer workers than large enterprises, but may even employ more workers.
These are important vote bases. Once Mr. Keqin believes that the new party cannot meet his and the progressive demands of the financial group, he is very likely to switch to the old party camp, which will undoubtedly be a heavy blow to the new party.
"Those are too far away, Mr. Leader. For me at the moment, I am just a mayor and an acting governor for the time being. I should not think about things that are beyond my scope of authority. I believe that the new party will be under your leadership." , will eventually defeat the old party." Schnoder's refusal was very firm and relatively tactful, "As far as the current situation is concerned, I think I should only do what I want to do and what I should do. matter!"
Powers was destined to be disappointed. He was silent for a while and said, "I am disappointed, Schnoder. I thought you would be a more far-sighted young man, but I am disappointed and sad."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you!" Schnoder added the last sentence.
After a minute or so of silence, Powers hung up the phone without even saying goodbye.
Schnoder's sudden betrayal put him in a passive position, and some of his subsequent arrangements were bound to suffer some setbacks.
The Yagur Mountains have attracted the attention of many forces, but because of Dulin, these people have not moved for the time being. I thought that Dulin's departure was an opportunity, and he really arranged it like this. I didn't expect... It would actually be like this. .
With disgust for Dulin and hatred for Schnoder in his heart, Powers felt that the whole world was against him!
Schnoder, who was on the phone, looked at the phone in his hand, shook his head and put the receiver back on the landline. Rejecting Powers was not a momentary idea, but the result of careful consideration...
