Before 9 p.m., Mr. knight had gone to bed. His personal doctor told him to go to bed early and get up early, so as to minimize entertainment and unnecessary nightlife.
At his age, he really needs to start maintenance. He has experienced those things when he was young. At this time, what he yearns for is not the colorful night, but the dawn of the next day.
The housekeeper knocked on the door gently. If Mr. Knight didn''t respond, he naturally rejected the request on the phone and didn''t disturb Mr. Knight''s rest.
In a family such as a steel tycoon, the housekeeper can even compare with the former Henry. After all, he and Mr. Knight grew up together, and the gap between him and his brothers is only blood except the master and slave.
In the dark room, the bedside lamp suddenly lit up. Mr. Knight kneaded his temples on both sides and sat up, "what''s the matter?". His voice was a little hoarse. It was not a happy experience to be woken up just after falling asleep.
The housekeeper lowered his head slightly. "Sir, the telephone of the rotating speaker of the chamber of Commerce sounds a little anxious."
Mr. Knight raised his eyebrows and startled his wife as soon as he was ready to speak.
He smiled and explained a few words, rolled out of bed, put on a coat, walked into the study, and then connected the phone.
"Mr. Wenger, it''s me." he said this. He picked up his pipe and asked the housekeeper to press some tobacco for him. He took a breath, and the whole person relaxed.
ARS è ne Wenger, who is currently the rotating president of the chamber of Commerce, had his first idea of calling Mr. knight, the steel tycoon, as soon as he heard that Dorian began to fight against the chamber of Commerce there in ambillo.
Everyone knows that in Dooling''s not broad social circle, there is a very special role called Henry, who is Mr. Knight''s second son.
Henry and Turin have a very good relationship. So far, no one knows why Turin has always kept a certain distance from those real elites. It has almost become a mystery to be with Henry, a little innocent guy.
As the top level of the chamber of Commerce, Mr. Wenger''s first idea is to use his relationship to contact Henry, and then let Henry persuade Turin, or as a bridge, the top level of the chamber of Commerce will directly talk to Turin.
That''s why there was such a phone call.
"Mr. knight, I''m very sorry to call you so late and affect your rest. I''m very sorry for this...". As soon as I opened my mouth, Wenger apologized continuously. He can show his authority to many people and make them bow their heads. However, in the face of figures like knight and more senior people in society, he is not as omnipotent as ordinary people think.
The chamber of commerce is a terrible existence for middle and low-level capitalists. As long as the chamber of commerce issues a notice, it can decide the life and death of any middle and low-level capitalist.
For example, by means of a kind reminder, the upstream and downstream are required to cut off cooperation with an enterprise. With just one word and an announcement, an enterprise of millions of scale can be pressed to the ground.
But for capitalists of the scale of steel tycoons, railway tycoons, consortia and listed enterprises, they naturally produce a layer of antibodies, and the conventional means of the chamber of commerce can no longer work on them.
Moreover, for these people, the chamber of commerce is actually relatively weak.
The influence has become. The intervention of the chamber of Commerce will not have any impact on the enterprises of these capitalists. On the contrary, the chamber of commerce continues to expand its influence and territory with the help of the fame of these people and their enterprises. Therefore, Mr. Wenger''s tone is very modest and has no aggressive attitude in the face of those small roles.
Mr. Knight shook his head. "Well, let''s avoid unnecessary politeness and explain your idea directly. You know, the doctor won''t let me sleep too late."
"OK, let me be frank..." Mr. Wenger paused for a few seconds. In fact, it is not a good thing to speak, so he can only go on, "there have been some situations in the chamber of Commerce of ambillo state, which Mr. Turin is more concerned about."
"You know, the business of the chamber of Commerce has always been solved internally by ourselves. In principle, we don''t want trouble to occupy the work efficiency of the local government. I don''t have any friendship with Mr. Dolin, so I hope your second son, Mr. Henry, can help convey our gratitude to the state government and our determination to be competent for our current work."
Mr. Knight''s sleepiness disappeared in an instant. Originally, he had given up his son Henry. Compared with his eldest son, Henry was like an unexpected product. He not only had insufficient brain, but also could not make progress. He was willing to degenerate. He had been completely marginalized.
But I didn''t expect that suddenly his friendship with Turin had brought great changes to his situation. Henry had become the third person in the family. He was able to make such changes not because he became smart, nor because he began to study hard, but because his relationship with Turin was getting better and better.
In the Empire, everyone who has the right to know the truth of the world knows that Turin''s popularity is the most ugly in the Empire. He is like a wild dog, peeing and painting territory for himself. Wherever he peed, there would be a smell left by him - Turing''s law.
What''s more terrible is that the young man''s means are surprisingly superb. Even if he leaves his territory far away, he still has a way to control the place with his smell.
In the whole year of last year, nearly one-third of the capitalists in Otis were purged by Turin, and more than half of the top shareholders of the seven casinos were purged.
He skillfully took advantage of the relationship between Lani, the State Administration of Taxation, caught these people''s feet by tracing tax evasion, and then dragged them into the abyss.
If you can, no one wants to deal with Turin, but at the same time, Turin has another character that attracts people, that is, his generosity.
He never mind sharing benefits with others, which is reflected incisively and vividly in Henry. So far, none of the projects cooperated by Henry and Dooling has suffered a loss, so that Henry behaved like a proud Rooster at the family annual meeting.
People hate Turing and are eager to become friends with Turing, which is a very contradictory state of mind.
Mr. knight is very optimistic about the friendship between Henry and Dooling. The developing society also tells old tycoons like Mr. knight that some businesses are going to sunset. With more and more exchanges all over the world and the rise of international trade, the position of steel tycoon is constantly being challenged.
Steel and ores from other countries are continuously transported from all over the world to the Empire in exchange for important international currencies. These import trade is not a good thing for the knight family, and the whole society is less and less dependent on the knight family.
One day, people can build a magnificent building without relying on the steel of the knight family. On that day, if they can''t find a way out, the only result is death.
Just like Mr. John George, the Empire''s newspaper tycoon and the trust of three feature agencies monopolized the news and newspaper content of the whole empire, but what was the result?
Three fires destroyed everything in the family. If the George family''s previous transformations were successful, they would not fall even if the feature agency was burned down.
Henry is an important experimental platform in the family. In fact, the whole family pays great attention to Henry''s investment in the past two years, including his investment in the film and television industry. Special people collect data for specific analysis.
The elders sometimes sit together and discuss whether to find another way. Everyone agrees that Henry''s cross regional development is a good opportunity. It''s better to increase the family''s investment in Henry, which may be able to quickly help the family complete its transformation.
The entertainment industry will never be out of date!
With such a foundation, in the face of Mr. Wenger''s request, Mr. Knight''s attitude became a little erratic, "can I know what happened?"
Then Mr. Wenger said what he could say, which also made Mr. Knight realize that this was a war between Turin and the chamber of Commerce. It would be very tragic to intervene rashly, even if he was the steel tycoon of the Empire.
He hesitated and replied, "I can ask Henry to convey the opinions of the chamber of Commerce, but that''s all!"
His reply did not exceed Mr. Wenger''s expectations. The more important a person is, he will be more careful when facing some choices.
"Thank you very much. That''s enough!"
Mr. Knight put his pipe back on the table. "You''ll hear the news tomorrow, so good night!"
"Good night, Mr. Knight!"
There was no satisfactory reply from Mr. knight. Mr. Wenger was a little agitated. He thought about it, grabbed the phone and dialed the number of new party leader boworth.
At this time, Bowers, who has been the leader of the new party for more than three months, is in an indescribable tangle. On the one hand, he has completed his ideal and become the leader of the new party. On the other hand, he has some unspeakable depression, because the new party lost to the old party in the general election.
To say that he failed... Not necessarily, but to say that he succeeded, why didn''t he join the cabinet?
Boworth, who has just finished his entertainment, is sitting on the sofa to sober up. During this period, he has been busy dealing with all kinds of entertainment every day. Only in the entertainment can he feel like a prime minister because of people''s respect.
The telephone rang for a while before he answered it. He is the leader of the populist school. Naturally, it is impossible for him to reflect the corruption and extravagance of the nobility everywhere like the nobility school, although sometimes he feels that such a life is also good.
"I''m Bowers..."
"Hello, Mr. Bowers. I''m Arsene Wenger."
"Mr. Wenger?", Bowers suddenly sat up straight. "What''s the matter?"
