Blackstone Code Chapter 750: Associate
The person who really controlled this "storm" was actually not Lynch, but the two key figures, the Prime Minister and the Emperor.
Lynch just discovered some of the problems among these people, and by the way, the dissatisfaction with the emperor's policy toward the ministers came from the aristocratic group who had been suppressing the emperor and ministers.
In the end, the nobles lost money in the war, and they lacked sufficient means to make money back, and their dissatisfaction with the war and the royal family could not be vented under the suppression of the ministers and the emperor. This kind of contradiction is accumulating more and more. Deep, there will be an explosion one day.
From the point of view of His Majesty the Emperor himself, as long as the Amelia region develops and gives the nobles a chance to make money, the grievances of the nobles will disappear.
The views of the ministers are basically the same. Although they also invested a lot of money into the war and did not get the money back, they did not have much resentment because they were ministers.
They still hold power in their hands, and it can even be said that the purpose of their money to promote the war is to stabilize the power in their hands.
It's just that the development of the Ameria region is not as smooth as people imagined. Not to mention the sharp contradictions and armed resistance before, even now, it is not easy for the nobles to find business opportunities from the Ameria region.
A completely open and free market is simply not suitable for businessmen who are accustomed to relying on power to obtain wealth, and they are used to resolving competition through aristocratic methods.
Just like in a movie, several nobles sat at a round table one afternoon, some were arrogant, some were rebellious, some were silent, and some were disdainful.
In the end, after a discussion that may or may not be intense, everyone has demarcated their own "sites", and no one else can interfere in who runs what business in what place.
This kind of exclusive business that looks like a monopoly does well in the country. Businessmen don't need to think about competition. They just need to think about how to squeeze the last bit of value in the market.
All the rest is for the nobles to negotiate, discuss, and compromise, and they don't need to use their brains to make money.
But in the current Amelia region, the competitiveness of the Commonwealth is too terrible, and their attitude to seize the market even without making money makes the local nobles of Gafra a little unbearable.
They just want to make money and don't want to continue to lose. The emperor and ministers "backstabbed" them again, and all the good things have changed, making them even more dissatisfied.
The only casualties of the war were the neglected fringe aristocracy, some of whom even felt betrayed by the royal family and ministers.
We agreed to fight to make money together, but I was the only one who lost...
Lynch took advantage of this, he is the world-famous "Mr. Ten Billion", don't care that the ten billion is now the price of waste paper, but after all, he has such a resounding name.
People's image of Lynch is simple, young, handsome, rich, and will make money.
After being conferred, Lynch actively participated in various aristocratic activities, and became involved with some marginal aristocrats - those mainstream groups in the Privy Council, hereditary nobles, while their qualifications are too old, they also have a solid foundation.
You won't be able to afford to support an unrewarded war, these people are not easy to approach, and they don't really look down on Lynch very much.
The only people who can mingle with Lynch are those nobles who are eager to get rich. They are so **** poor, like some barons, viscounts and a few unfortunate earls. These poor families hope to quickly get rich. Make some money and improve your current situation.
The life of aristocrats is very luxurious, and there are many places to spend money, such as holding various dance parties, drinking parties, and activities.
In order not to lose face, they have squeezed themselves to the extreme, and they have to **** their property and then make national news - "xx sells family property to maintain a living".
While Lynch gave them this opportunity, he detonated the barely maintained balance between the noble group, the minister group and the emperor in Gafra!
It may seem like a simple thing, but it's the key.
The anger of the nobles made them ignore the so-called national interests and go short behind Lynch. At the same time, in order to divert their hatred, they shifted the direction of their hatred to the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
If it wasn't for the finance minister's people to collect black money and let the round capital be listed, there would not be such a big problem now, and even if they could scrutinize more carefully, they might have been able to prevent the round capital from continuing to embezzle the people. wealth.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer was attacked. Lynch took these nobles to short the empire's financial index. The unknown Prime Minister immediately saw the opportunity. He would attack the Chancellor of the Exchequer to pull the attention from the emperor away from Lynch.
The whole thing evolved from "Lynch's short-selling of the Empire Financial Index" to a "game around the country's financial power". They continued to fight, Lynch continued to make money, and at the same time he attracted a group of nobles to stand with him.
When Lynch first entered the small room, he had a good relationship with a boss who asked him if he knew why he went in.
At that time, he said some of his own views, probably because the scale was too large and the impact was too bad, and it was finally exposed.
But the boss told him he was wrong.
The reason he went in is not because he made the scale too large. In fact, there are many larger scales than him, and it is not because he has too much influence, because some people or organizations have more influence than him.
He was wrong because he didn't make the issue of interests clear. Some people who should get benefits didn't get benefits, and some people who shouldn't get benefits got benefits they shouldn't have.
So some people became dissatisfied, and some people became greedy, but these people were surrounded by him, the people he couldn't get rid of.
Dissatisfaction, as well as greed, stimulate each other to grow, and it is his core that finally detonates!
The same problem is actually the problem of the Gafra Empire now. Lynch recreated what happened to him on the Gafra Empire.
He now even feels that Emperor Gafra should thank him, because he detonated a problem that might have been brewing into a disaster in advance, and detonated it within a controllable range.
It's not a crime, it's meritorious!
So as long as the struggle for financial power between the Prime Minister and the Emperor of the Empire is over, the financial index will stabilize again - the re-determination of the ownership of financial power is definitely good news for the financial ecological environment of the Empire.
Especially when this power belongs to the Prime Minister, the noble group and the royal family will have the ability to fight, which will help the society to be more stable, and people will have more confidence in the country.
"Mr. Lynch... Then, what are we going to do next?" asked a rather handsome nobleman who appeared to be thirty-one or two years old.
"The things you mentioned have already happened. The conflict between the Prime Minister and the Chancellor of the Exchequer has broken out. I learned from some sources that there was some... friction when the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the Prime Minister were at the gate of the palace."
"The contradiction between them will inevitably spread to our side. At that time, how should we deal with these problems, we definitely need to express our position?"
Perhaps Lynch won the trust of these nobles when it comes to making money, or maybe it's the temperament in him that makes him not look like a young man who is only twenty-two years old, room The nobles here have begun to consult him.
A few nobles also looked at Lynch, and sometimes it's a blessing to have a "leader", which means people don't need to use their own brains.
Lynch didn't shy away from the question, laughing, "Short line, of course, gentlemen."
"The so-called politics is to unite people who can unite and then fight against our enemies. The victors will write history, they will become the righteous side, and the losers will only disappear and become the evil side of the history book. ."
"We need to choose between the Prime Minister and His Majesty to support them and help them win."
The nobles nodded their heads one after another. This view is indeed in line with the political ecological environment of the nobles.
The word aristocratic group also stood out. They were no strangers to it, but it was to rebuild a new noble group, or build a new building on the old aristocratic group.
"Who are you optimistic about?", the questioner continued to ask, the benefits that can be brought about by choosing the right party goes without saying, this is the tradition of Gafra.
The winner takes all, the loser goes back to the nest and licks the wound, waiting for the next opportunity.
Lynch sat on the chair, his hands and fingers were touching, and he smiled calmly, "Which side we stand does not depend on our own thoughts, but who can give more benefits!"
His statement made the nobles in the room... a little uncomfortable. Nobles are a face-loving group.
When they stand in line, it's more about their face~IndoMTL.com~ For example, so-and-so has a good relationship with himself, and so-and-so has a good relationship with so-and-so, then we should stand on so-and-so's side .
They don't think about winning or losing, they are nobles anyway, and the emperor has no right to kill them, which also makes them sometimes a little stubborn on certain issues - stupid to put it bluntly.
Lynch's focus on interests is different from the way they chose teams in the past. It's a bit like businessmen and philistines. The nobles look down on businessmen the most, so they will naturally be a little sensitive to Lynch's choice.
Fortunately, no one has objected to this, they are not qualified to object now, and Lynch is the one who talks between them.
Even this time, I followed Lynch to send a "national disaster wealth", which made them a little excited. As long as they used a little relationship, the number in the account would continue to increase, which is comparable to their tit-for-tat with other nobles at the negotiating table. A little more gentleman.
And make more money, easier, easier.
This is how nobles make money!
