"I thought you were going to call me." Mags is a very charismatic person. His tone and context always make people feel the cultivation and nobility hidden in his voice, as well as his peace. , even if he complained, it would not make people feel embarrassed, but would be like a complaint between old friends, "As a result, I called you. I have some questions that I need to ask you. I hope you can let me sleep tonight." Good night's sleep."
Dulin nodded with a smile. Even though Max couldn't see it, he still did it because of a natural atmosphere, as if he and Max had traveled through the constraints of space and time and were sitting face to face chatting. Same as, "Please tell me, as long as I can answer it, I will definitely answer it for you."
"Why make enemies? You should know that your main opponents are Cape and the Anthem Consortium at the moment. If you can't defeat them, you will never be able to climb to the top. The affairs of the George family will make people aware of your danger. They will reject you. In our circle, taking action is always the lowest level."
If one is to take action at the slightest disagreement in politics, I am afraid there is only one official in the entire empire, and that is Magus. The vast majority of politicians are silently abiding by an unwritten rule, which is that matters within the system should be resolved within the system. To explain it simply, if you don’t like me, remove me from power, but doing so needs to be prohibited. Breaking the rules is just that the price of rule collapse is too heavy and no one can afford it.
Maggs did not bluntly say that Dulin had done a stupid thing. On the one hand, it was because the George family was not a political family and they did not have any serving officials. Secondly, Maggs sincerely disliked these capitalists. He needed to use the power of capital to quickly revive the empire and support the implementation of the new party's policies. But the power of capital, which has lost its leash, has expanded to the point where it has begun to threaten the true owner of this country.
If the power of capital had not penetrated into every aspect of society, Maggs might have raised his butcher knife and put a leash on all capitalists.
But now that Dulin is taking action against the George family, Maggs feels that it is not the right time, because he, including the New Party and all those who are determined to restrain the power of capital, do not have the initiative in this war. They can only respond passively and cannot take the initiative. Dulin's sudden action is very likely to make sensitive capitalists taste something special.
That's how this phone call came about.
"I originally planned to use the power of the George family in public opinion to promote the progress of public opinion, and let the people take the initiative to discover the corrosion of the empire by the power of capital and the negative impact on society, and then they would trample the Anthem Consortium to death. Trample them to death. For one Psalm consortium, there will be a second and third one, until the power of capital returns to the range that can be restrained and managed. "For Magers, Dulin believes that his plan can be expressed, no matter it is. He, or Mags, actually knew very well.
After the power of capital expands, it will be difficult to take it back. The so-called restraint and management are just a nice way of saying it. At most, it is about finding a balance between capital and politics, at least not as unruly as it is now.
After hearing this, Maggs had to praise the benefits of Dulin's idea. Dulin did not directly face a behemoth like the Anthem Consortium himself, but chose to rely on the power of the people. As the prime minister managing this empire, Magus knew very well that in fact, people always obeyed public opinion in many cases. To be honest, people are easily deceived by mainstream public opinion. It does not take a lot of effort to deceive them. All it takes is a push.
He did not ask Du Lin in detail about the details of this plan. He knew that even if he asked, Du Lin might not answer. Everyone knows what to say about the general direction. As for how to do it, that is a personal matter.
He was a little surprised. Since he already had a relatively complete plan, why was the current situation still happening
"Did the Cape family say hello to old John? So they refused to continue cooperating with you?"
Dulin couldn't help but laugh, because he thought the same thing at first, "It's not the Cape family, it's Mr. John. He thought I might be too dangerous and would drag the George family into the quagmire, so he asked Mark He told me that the cooperation was terminated and at the same time gave me a choice that I didn’t know. I have always believed that people respect and fear dragons in mythology not because they can be reasonable.”
"Its power comes from the threat it poses to other creatures, and it is also a good thing to show its sharp teeth appropriately. When someone comes to me with an idea, they will consider whether their teeth will chip, and "I bit you back." Dulin's tone was also calm, as if he was joking in a casual chat, "To you and those big shots, I am just a farmer's kid. Maybe this is one of my advantages. . I don’t have the burden of family or the constraints of power. I can do what I want. As long as they are willing to compete, I don’t mind a fight.”
Mags listened very seriously, and he said with a smile: "What you said reminded me of when I was young. I always felt that there was nothing that could make me afraid of moving forward, but sometimes you also understand that it is necessary to give in or retreat. , not a shame, but a sign of wisdom, especially when you turn your back to the abyss. If you take a step back, your enemy will take a step closer, which also means that he is one step closer to the abyss."
"I am deeply inspired by your words. I have a little immature idea. I wonder if you are interested in hearing it?"
Mags immediately became interested. Every time he had a deep conversation with Du Lin, he always received a lot of divergent thinking and could think about more possibilities. He immediately became interested, "It seems that I won't be able to have a good rest tonight." Yes, but I look forward to your immature thoughts."
On the fourth day of the incident, news about the burning of the George Family Special Press Office had spread throughout the empire. Even the Federation and countries further south reported on the incident. Some people called it the greatest loss in the history of human civilization. Because in these three feature news agencies, nearly seventy years of reports are stored, and even the library is not as comprehensive as their storage.
Of course, more people are gloating about the misfortune. The George family has suffered a fatal blow. To restore the feature agency's former position in the newspaper industry is not as simple as rebuilding three buildings.
On such a morning, Mark was so anxious that after answering a phone call, he became furious and even slammed the entire phone to the ground.
The secretary who heard the unusual noise entered the room and was immediately frightened by the ferocious-looking Mark and lost the ability to speak. She had never seen such a terrifying Mark. The always gentle Mark was gone, replaced by something like hell walking out of it. of devil.
"Bastard!" Mark walked back and forth, pulling his hair as he walked. The foam on the corners of his mouth made him look a little hysterical. "These bastards, they all deserve to go to hell, yes, they all deserve to go to hell!"
Just now, several newspapers in the southern state of Kansas united to declare that the George family's shareholdings were illegal, and established a "newspaper alliance", claiming that they would challenge the George family, the monopoly group of the newspaper industry, for press freedom. Make a declaration of war.
There is no doubt that someone, and a powerful person, has learned about John's situation and has begun to promote the first shot of counterattack in the newspaper industry. Immediately afterwards, some newspapers came forward and filed a complaint in court, accusing the George family of using the family's influence in the newspaper industry to forcefully purchase their shares and monopolize resources.
These people believe that this is a shameful act of "forced buying and selling". Because of the George family's control over the source of the journalism industry, they have to give up their shares at a low price in exchange for the George family's "protection" in the newspaper industry. ” and “care”.
There must be someone behind the sudden outbreak of these things, and the purpose is to maintain the George family's supremacy in the newspaper industry.
Once the George family declines, it is conceivable that those usual "good friends" will pounce on them and bite them until the George family becomes a thing of the past.
"How could he do this? How dare he do this?" Mark knocked the clear blue lamp on the table to the ground with a wave of his hand, and the precious cultural relics and artworks worth tens of thousands 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 before. The spearhead of the capital forces suddenly pointed at him, the spear-bearer, leaving him unable to find a way out. He forced himself to calm down and didn't pay attention to the secretary standing aside. He walked back and forth for a while. At this time, he hoped that Mr. John had not fainted, and how he hoped that Mr. John could stand outside the door in high spirits and tell him to "be quiet".
He stood there like a wounded beast, looking fiercely at the broken blue agate fragments on the ground. Suddenly he breathed a sigh of relief. When he raised his head, his eyes became clear again and became more determined.
"Sorry, I made you laugh. Let me clean it up. We may be busy for a long time." He forced a smile and walked back to the desk and sat on the chair.
Now we can't count on Mr. John, we can only do it ourselves.
"Ask the Legal Department to dispatch. I remember that all newspaper holdings are subject to agreements signed by both parties. First, we will sue the newspapers in Kansas for violating the agreement. According to the agreement, we will require them to compensate us for our losses and publicly apologize.", he said slightly. He lowered his head and muttered, "In addition, contact all the newspapers that have not come forward. I invite them to come to the imperial capital to discuss the establishment of a 'Newspaper Alliance'!"
Pressure makes people panic.
But sometimes, it can also make people grow quickly.
