Chapter 569 Official Representative in Cape Bay
Old Ford, director of the Government Affairs Council, and Cecil, director of the Intelligence Department, were sitting on the sofa in Paul's office. On the lord's desk, several resumes were placed on it, in Paul's hands He also took a copy and looked at it carefully.
Old Ford said: "Master Graiman, these are the candidates we have recommended for you. Please make the final decision."
The purpose of their coming here today is In order to work with Paul to elect an official representative of Huxin Town in Jiaowan to strengthen official ties with the various countries in Jiaowan.
After the route to Cape Bay was opened, the connection between Northwest Bay and Cape Bay was basically dominated by private merchants. There was even a visit from Cape Bay, the envoy of the Cape Bay Alliance - Foss The eldest son of Marquis Te - came to buy weapons, but in the northwest bay, except for Quirk who commanded the South's maiden voyage to Cape Bay, there is no one who can represent Huxin Town to go to Cape Bay. It all depends on the merchants. Work hard on your own.
Enterprises under the control of the Government Affairs Council do send people to Jiaowan, but that still belongs to the private sector.
Now Huxin Town has a very urgent need for Jiaowan, such as buying or leasing a piece of land to provide a landing place, supply depot, and shelter for its own merchants who were affected by the Jiaowan War, and Since mercenaries are to be sent to Horn Bay, it would be best to build a fortress there as a military base or something. It was at this time that Paul realized that he did not have a person with enough weight to speak as his representative in Corner Bay.
Given that the affairs officers currently selected by the Government Affairs Council through examinations have basically never been to Kok Wan, the Government Affairs Council suggested that Paul select a representative from among private business practitioners.
"Jerrod John?"
"Sir, this is the business representative of our ceramics factory in Corner Bay. He is very familiar with the upper-level figures of the Corner Bay Alliance. The dignitaries love our porcelain very much.”
"Well... he's a bit old. It might be too much for him to run errands between countries frequently. So... this... Stevie Paredes?"
"Sir, he is Port Fulan The shipyard is stationed at Jiaowan to dig walls...well, to introduce talents."
"Then he should be familiar with the shipbuilding industry there, and the introduction of talents is also a very important task, so don't do anything."
After reading several in a row, Paul was not very satisfied until he picked up the last one.
"Friedrich List?"
"Oh, sir, this is the business representative of Todd Shipping Company stationed in Cape Bay. Todd Shipping Company's shipping business is very extensive, and he often travels among the countries in Cape Bay because of his business."
Paul Looking at his resume, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Well, this one seems pretty good. He is very familiar with the official figures, private forces, and all walks of life in the countries in the Bay Area, and he is young and powerful."
Old Ford and Sisi We looked at each other, this was the last choice, and the lord was quite satisfied, it seemed like he was the one.
Paul asked: “I just don’t know what Liszt’s attitude is towards Lake Center Town?”
Cecil said: “I don’t know what his attitude towards Lake Center Town is yet, but He holds you in high esteem, Lord Graiman.”
"Oh? What do you say?" Paul became interested and a smile appeared on his face. Haha, does he still have fans? .
Cecil said: "We investigated the letters between him and his friends and found that Lister has been studying many of your economic measures in recent years, such as support policies for industry and commerce, taxation On the reform of the system, especially the establishment of the customs union and the establishment of a unified market, Liszt praised you very much and admired you very much in words. He also wrote his summary of your policies into a book, which is true. I entrusted a friend to find a printing factory in Arda to publish the book. The title of the book has not yet been determined. A few alternatives are "Tariffs, Markets and Government Intervention", "Several Stages of the Rise of Backward Economies", "Political Economy..."" br>
Before Cecil finished speaking, he and Old Ford noticed that the lord's eyebrows, which were relaxed just now, shook violently.
The atmosphere in the office suddenly became a lot strange.
"This book hasn't been printed yet, right?" A strange smile appeared on Paul's face, but he asked in a sinister tone. "Uh..." Cecil didn't know which sensitive area the lord's heart was touched by the introduction just now, so he replied hesitantly: "Probably not yet. The latest news I got is that this book is still under review—— This is stipulated by you personally. Any publication must be reviewed before publication, but..."
“But what?”
“Because there is no specific sensitive technical information involved and there is no objection to your remarks - and it is a strong compliment to you - I think the review will be passed quickly. "
"Is the content of this book very detailed?"
Cecile thought about it and said: "It is said to be hundreds of pages thick, with rich details and detailed information. A lot of statistics - all collected public information, of course."
Paul sighed heavily, and then said firmly: "End the review of this book immediately."
"Allow it to be published directly?"
"No! Send the manuscript in Come to me, I want to see for myself what Mr. List has written."
Cecil responded: "I understand."
Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, hesitated. He asked: "So, Mr. Graiman, does this Friedrich List... want to control it? Or just..."
He made a cutting motion with his hands.
Although Old Ford didn't quite understand why Paul had such a big reaction, Lister must have violated some of the lord's taboos.
After seeing Old Ford's actions, Paul was a little speechless. When would his men get out of that "power game" mentality, where they would shout and kill at every turn, destroying people and whole families.
Can we be more civilized?
Paul shook his head, and he ordered: "I am very interested in this Friedrich List, and our official representative in Cape Bay is tentatively decided to be him."
< br>
ah? Old Ford and Cecil were very surprised. The lord's reaction just now was as if Liszt had stolen his underwear, so why should he be entrusted with an important task all of a sudden.
“I think this is a talent, a talent who likes to dig deeply into the nature of society and economy. Of course, such a person should be used for his own use, but it is too much to serve as a business representative in a private company. What a pity.”
Paul explained to Old Ford and Cecil why he looked at Lister differently.
“It’s just that I hope he can return to the Northwest Bay to meet with me. I have a lot to say... Ah, forget it, the situation in Jiao Bay is so chaotic. After he becomes my representative, there will be There are a lot of things to do, and it will take a lot of time to come back."
Paul thought for a while and said, "Well, I will write a long letter to him, Director Ford."
He looked at the two men and ordered:
"You must send people by his side to help him and assist him, and at the same time ensure that he faithfully carries out my instructions."
