The lawsuit between Dulin and the Imperial Bank affects the hearts of many people. Some people hope that the Imperial Bank will win, while others hope that the Imperial Bank will be unlucky. No matter what everyone thinks, this lawsuit is inextricable. , and at the same time, it is obvious that Dulin's side seems to have an advantage. Anyone who is a lawyer can see the favoritism of a lifelong justice. Of course, ordinary people will not feel this way. They do not have the professionalism of lawyers to detect this kind of favoritism.
In court, non-criminal cases that have a certain influence and involve the Imperial Bank also have juries. Although the judges cannot decide who is guilty and who is not guilty, they can still influence the trend of the court defense in their own way.
Dulin's lawyer, Adams, could say anything, but the defendant's lawyer's protests were always ineffective, which would give the jury the impression that the defendant was panicked. At the same time, Adams objected to the defense before the defendant's lawyer said a few words. The judge also agreed with this protest, which made the jury feel that the defendant always spoke unscrupulously. The influence may have been muted, but it was there, and most people began to shift in favor of Dulin, the accuser.
After four consecutive court arguments, some people could not sit still.
The interests of the Imperial Central Bank not only represent the interests of the central bank itself, but also the interests of investors, shareholders, and shareholders. There are more threads connecting the interests of more vested interests. Once the Reichsbank loses this lawsuit, in addition to compensating Dulin a large amount of losses, it will also have to issue a public apology. This would damage the credibility of the Imperial Bank and cause many people to face losses, so someone stepped forward.
The first person to stand up turned out to be someone from the Ministry of Finance, a deputy minister named Carroll, who served as the first deputy minister of the Ministry of Finance, second only to the Imperial Treasurer. His main job is to manage the issuance of currency, and to detect and regulate the exchange rate of Xingyuan in the international foreign exchange market. This is a very powerful position.
The two met at Dulin's manor, which was relatively remote so far. It would not be disturbed by too much outside interference and was secluded enough. It was a good place to discuss things.
After the two met and shook hands, they sat down separately. Carol looked at Dulin's study and praised it a few times.
This study has not been changed since Du Lin took it over, and it still maintains its original appearance. The huge bookcases are filled with various books. These books are not like new books that some people deliberately bought to highlight their cultural connotations. There is no trace of reaction. The books here have become somewhat outdated after being read and read by generations of owners, and there are also many manuscripts and thread-bound books.
For those who like collecting books and reading, this is a huge treasure. For many years, the nobility has monopolized the popularization of knowledge, and the common people have been unable to enjoy high-level education. Monopolizing the thoughts of the lower classes by monopolizing knowledge is often a common method used by aristocrats and feudal rulers. The less common people know about knowledge, the more conservative and stupid their thoughts will become. This greatly facilitates the nobles to ensure that there will be no people in their fiefdoms. Who suddenly thought of shouting out bold remarks such as "The Prime Minister and the Marquis are not born".
Whether a noble has a profound background can be understood by looking at their head's study.
"Mr. Dulin likes reading very much!" Deputy Chief Carroll complimented Dulin. How many people don't know Dulin's information now? It is no accident that a guy born as a farmer can reach this stage. Behind every successful person, there are efforts and contributions that others cannot see. The so-called luck is nothing more than the sophistry of jealous and stupid people about their inability to succeed. Deputy Chief Carroll did not dare to underestimate Du Lin, which would only make him lose face. "I saw the book when I came in..." Du Lin turned around and glanced at the thread-bound book on the desk, " Reading is a good habit and I like reading too.”
Dulin smiled and said, "You know, I haven't gone to school, so I need to supplement my knowledge from other aspects. Reading books not only increases my knowledge, but is also interesting."
"That's true..." Undersecretary Carroll did not go any further on this topic. As he knew, going deeper would not only embarrass him, but also make Dulin angry. He changed the topic promptly, " Mr. Dulin, I noticed that you have many industries in the empire. As a businessman and investor, what do you think of the current economic development situation of the empire? "
Du Lin pondered for a moment and said, "The current economic development situation of the empire is very good, and all walks of life are booming. I heard that there is a very serious labor shortage in the south. This is the best manifestation."
Undersecretary Carroll nodded in agreement, "You are right. After more than 20 years of rest, the empire is once again running on the right path. It can be said that we have made brilliant and significant economic achievements in the past few years. , all this is due to the efforts of each of our citizens, and also to the empire's contribution to maintaining the stability of the financial order, what do you think?" Dulin nodded and approved this statement, Deputy Chief Carroll said with a lot of smiles on his face, " The stability of the economic order is the foundation for a country's economic development. We are not doing a good enough job in this regard. There are always some reasons and changes that are beyond our control. "
"Of course, we have been working hard in this direction. Since entering the new era, the Ministry of Finance has been committed to formulating and maintaining the economic and financial order within the empire. Of course, the help of the central bank is also indispensable. We provide policies and services, and the central bank provides Stable financial guarantees have driven today’s rapid economic development.”
"Mr. Dulin, I have noticed some dissatisfaction between you personally and the Central Bank recently. The Central Bank has indeed gone too far in this regard, and similar things have happened several times. We have discussed it with the Board of Directors of the Central Bank in internal communication meetings. After consultation with the principal, they are willing to pay you a fee and privately apologize to you for their reckless behavior.”
This is true. Undersecretary Carroll has discussed this matter with several major chairmen of the central bank's board of directors. The three lawsuits cannot be allowed to affect the economic development of the empire. Once the credibility of the central bank is damaged, a financial crisis is likely to follow. In the current financial market of the empire, most capital operations are based on the credibility of the central bank. Once there is a problem in this regard, it will trigger a series of huge losses, and even cause the empire's economic results in recent years to be hit hard.
After several discussions, the Ministry of Finance finally decided to take the initiative to resolve the current differences and conflicts between Dulin and the Imperial Bank to ensure that the credibility of the central bank would not be damaged. This is not out of selfishness, but entirely from a national standpoint.
Dulin looked at Deputy Chief Carroll, and fell into silence with a half-smile. It seemed that Mr. Veitch's mouth was tighter than Dulin imagined. He thought that Vicki would talk to the old man of the central bank, but he didn't expect that he didn't say anything to anyone, so that they still thought that Dulin didn't let go? But this shouldn't be the case, so why haven't they contacted me yet, but asked Deputy Chief Carroll to convey their desire to resolve the problem privately
In fact, this is not a strange thing. Where there are people, there will definitely be disagreements and conflicts. The board of directors and the chairman are not of the same mind. There are people like Vicky who are not keen on power, but more are keen on power. In the unknown chairman meeting, some people have begun to impeach the two current executive directors, believing that they are incapable of handling the current situation. Next, continue to control the direction of the Imperial Bank and let their rotation end early.
The internal struggle continues. On the one hand, the current executive chairman is fighting with those old friends who have worked together for 20 or 30 years. On the other hand, he has entrusted the matter to the Ministry of Finance, hoping to use the Ministry of Finance to If Du Lin's reputation is overshadowed, maybe the matter will be settled.
After the Ministry of Finance learned about the situation, it felt that this was also a solution. Undersecretary Carroll took over the matter. He had no selfish motives. He simply wanted to handle the matter well and end the current Dulin situation. conflict with the central bank.
Dulin glanced at the smiling Undersecretary Carroll and decided to sell a good deal, "As a citizen of the empire, I have the responsibility to contribute to the tranquility of the empire. Since the matter has had such a big impact, maybe I think the Ministry of Finance should take the lead and find a suitable opportunity to do this. I mean they need to show enough sincerity to apologize without spreading in a small area, what do you think?”
Undersecretary Carroll breathed a sigh of relief, "This is no problem at all. Your request is reasonable. I will convey this request to the central bank to facilitate it."
Du Lin clapped his hands with a smile, "Okay, one thing has been solved. In fact, I also have a question to ask Undersecretary Carroll and the Ministry of Finance."
Carol was in a very good mood after doing what he was supposed to do, and the smile on his face became much more sincere, and his eyes when looking at Dulin became much softer, "It doesn't matter, tell us and we will analyze it."
"As far as I know, there are no national shares in the Imperial Bank. I believe that no matter whether the bank is a union, a central bank, or any other name, there is no essential difference between bankers and capitalists. They are always seeking more. Profit. Is it possible that one day when the profits they face exceed their loyalty to the empire, is it possible that they will harm the interests of the empire to satisfy their own needs?”
Undersecretary Carroll frowned slightly, "I don't understand what you mean, Mr. Dulin."
"My point is simply, is the Treasury interested in forming a real 'central bank'?"
“A state-controlled, truly imperial central bank?”
