Chapter 565： Official representative in Kok Wan

,!

Old Ford, the director of the State Council, and Cecil, the director of the Intelligence Department, were sitting on the sofa in Paul's office. On the lord's book, several resumes were placed on it, and Paul held a copy in his hand and looked at it carefully.

Old Ford said: "Master Graham, these are the candidates we recommend for you, please make the final decision."

The purpose of their coming here today is to work with Paul to elect an official representative of Huxin Town in Jiaowan, so as to strengthen ties with the official level of the countries in Jiaowan.

After the route to Jiaowan was opened, the connection between Northwest Gulf and Jiaowan was basically dominated by private merchants. There was once an envoy of the Jiaowan Alliance—the eldest son of Marquis Foster—from Jiaowan. Buying weapons, but in the Northwest Gulf, except for Quake commanding the South's maiden voyage to Jiaowan, there is no one who can represent Huxin Town who has been to Jiaowan, and it is up to the merchants to work hard.

Enterprises under the control of the Government Council did send people to Jiaowan, but that was still at the private level.

Now Huxin Town has a very urgent need for Jiaowan, such as buying or leasing a piece of land, in order to provide a place to stay, a supply station, and a shelter for its own merchants affected by the Jiaowan War, and since it is necessary to send mercenaries to In Jiaowan, it would be better to build a fort 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 Jiaowan.

In view of the fact that most of the affairs officers selected by the Government Administration Council through examination have never been to Jiaowan, the Government Administration Council suggested that Paul choose a representative from private business practitioners.

"Jerald John?"

"My lord, this is the business representative of our ceramic factory in Jiaowan. He is very close to the upper echelons of the Jiaowan Alliance. The dignitaries there love our porcelain very much."

"Uh... he's a bit old, and it might be too much for him to run errands between countries frequently. So this... Stevie Paredes?"

"My lord, he was stationed by Port Fulan Shipyard to dig the wall in Jiaowan... heck, he brought in talents."

"Then he should be very familiar with the shipbuilding industry there, and the introduction of talents is also very important work, so don't move."

After reading several in a row, Paul was not very satisfied until he picked up the last one.

"Friedrich Liszt?"

"Oh, my lord, this is the business representative of Todd Shipping Company stationed in Jiaowan. Todd Shipping Company's shipping business is very extensive, and he often travels among the countries in Jiaowan because of his business."

Paul looked at the resume and raised his eyebrows, "Well, this one seems to be good. He is familiar with the official figures, civil forces, and all walks of life in the Gulf countries, and he is in the prime of life."

Old Ford and Cecil glanced at each other. This is the last candidate, and the lord is quite satisfied. It seems that he is the one.

Paul asked: "I just don't know what Liszt's attitude is towards Huxin Town?"

Cecil said: "I don't know his attitude towards Huxin Town for the time being, but he respects you, Lord Graman, very much."

"Oh? How do you say it?" Paul became interested, with a smile on his face, haha, do you still have fans? .

Cecil said: "We investigated the letters between him and his friends, and found that this Liszt has been studying many of your economic measures in recent years, such as support policies for industry and commerce, reform of the tax system, especially Regarding the establishment of the Customs Union and the establishment of a unified market, Liszt praised you greatly, and he admired you extremely in words. Moreover, he also wrote a book summarizing your policies, and he is entrusting a friend to find you in Arda. Published by the printing factory, the title of the book has not yet been determined, several candidates are "Tariffs, Markets and Government Intervention", "Several Stages of the Rise of Underdeveloped Economies", "Political Economics...""

Before Cecil finished speaking, he and Old Ford noticed that the lord's eyebrows, which were still stretched just now, trembled violently.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became much stranger.

"This book hasn't started printing yet, right?" Paul asked in a sullen tone with a strange smile on his face.

"Uh..." Cecil didn't know which sensitive area in the lord's heart was touched by the introduction just now, and he replied hesitantly: "Probably not yet, the latest news I got is that this book is still under review—this is You have personally ordered that any publication be censored before it can be published, but..."

"But what?"

"Because there's no specific sensitive technical information involved and what's being said against you — and it's praising you — I think the censorship will pass quickly."

"Is the content of this book very detailed?"

Cecil thought about it for a while, and said: "It is said that there are hundreds of pages thick, rich in details, full of information, and a large number of statistics are listed—of course, they are all collected public information."

Paul sighed heavily, and then said firmly: "Stop the review of this book immediately."

"Is it allowed to be published directly?"

"No! Send me the manuscript, and I want to see for myself what this Mr. Lister has written."

Cecil replied, "I see."

Old Ford, the director of the Government Affairs Council, asked hesitantly: "Then, Lord Graeman, this Friedrich Liszt wants... to control? Or directly..."

He made a cutting motion with his hands.

Although Old Ford didn't quite understand why Paul reacted so strongly, but Liszt must have violated some taboo of the lord.

Seeing the old Ford's actions, Paul was a little speechless. When will these people under him get out of the "Game of Thrones" thinking, and they will shout and kill every now and then, killing people and their families.

Can you be more civilized Paul shook his head, and he ordered: "I am very interested in this Friedrich Liszt, and our official representative in Jiaowan is tentatively him."

ah? Old Ford and Cecil were very surprised. The lord's reaction just now was as if his underwear had been stolen by Liszt. How could he be entrusted with a heavy responsibility all of a sudden.

"I think this is a talent, a talent who likes to dig deep into the essence of society and economy. Of course, such a person should be used for his own use. It is a pity that he is only a business representative in a private company."

Paul explained to old Ford and Cecil why he looked differently at Liszt.

"It's just that I hope he can go back to the Northwest Bay to meet me. I have a lot to say... Ah, let's forget it. The situation in Jiaowan is so chaotic. After he becomes my representative, he still has a lot to do. When he comes back It will take a lot of time.”

Paul thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll write him a long letter. Manager Ford, Cecil!"

He looked at the two and ordered:

"You have to send people by his side to help him, to assist him, and at the same time to ensure that he faithfully executes my orders."
