Blackstone Code

It is not surprising that Mr. Geruno's first question was Mr. Patu.

No one can be truly impartial and selfless, just like federal life-long officials cannot do it. They will also deviate from the fairness and justice they insist on due to some "off-field factors", not to mention that Mr. Geruno is not a Upholding the impartial judge, he is just a capitalist.

Interest is the ultimate goal he pursues, so he can't be so fair.

He and Mr. Patu were both from the same group, the same people, with roughly the same identity and background. They both belonged to the first batch of immigrants. Their ancestors had established a prominent family by massacring the natives. They had something in common.

Having commonalities means that Mr. Pattu will stand with him. In fact, they are not planning to carry out any extermination in Nagali. They just want to promote the legalization of slaves in Nagali in a small area. .

Please note that they are not trying to bring slaves back to the forefront internationally or within the federation, but they are trying to get the government of the United Kingdom of Nagaril to license slavery.

Look, the vocabulary they prepared is so implicit. They didn't catch slaves or kill them, they just raised slaves whose origins were obscured, so that their needs could be met.

Whether it is the development of ordinary metal ore deposits or the development of energy deposits, a large amount of labor is required, and there are always great safety risks during the mining process.

Using ordinary labor and using slaves are two completely different costs. If an ignorant and backward country can be allowed to keep slaves again, they will have no stain on moral issues, because this is the internal affairs of other countries.

Moreover, the United Kingdom of Nagalil is very backward and ignorant, and they still believe in "false gods", so why is it impossible to turn back the wheel of history?

The federal people never interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, do not make suggestions, and do not resist, so the federal people will watch the United Kingdom of Nagaril pass this law.

As outsiders, the federal people will abide by this law. The federal people are all moral models and defenders of the law.

As soon as Mr. Patu speaks, the overall situation will tilt. Even if some people's positions are still wavering, they will be shaken by the clear position of the first person to speak.

People always warn themselves not to be misled by some impetuous and not necessarily accurate information, but people will always be misled by this information, such as preconceived information.

You know that is not necessarily right, and you also know that not everyone may have such an idea, but the first person to express this kind of information and position will make people think that this may be the majority of ideas.

This is what Mr. Geruno wants to do, whether they are the majority or not, he needs people to think that it is the majority, and it is a strong majority.

He looked at Mr. Patu with a confident and arrogant smile, waiting for the words he wanted to hear to come out of Mr. Patu's mouth.

Mr. Patu glanced at Mr. Geruno. Although he felt a little sorry for the old gentleman, he had no choice but to give in for those small pieces of paper with the charming scent of ink.

"I am very grateful to Mr. Chairman Geruno for letting me be the first speaker. I do have some opinions on this issue..."

At this time, Mr. Wardrick, who was sitting not far from Mr. Pattu, frowned. He glanced at the honest Lynch, and was hesitating in his mind whether to wait for his turn to speak before he could share his thoughts. , or directly express different views directly after Mr. Patu's speech.

The former will not make him too confrontational with some people here, let alone annoy Mr. Patu, interrupt others' speeches, and sharply retort and attack immediately after others have finished speaking. contradiction.

But it is not timely enough. We will discuss it when it is our turn to speak. People's positions have actually changed. At this time, some people's attitudes are hard to recover.

The latter can quickly correct the attitudes of these people, but he will also offend Mr. Patu, including Mr. Geruno and other people of the same position.

After thinking about it, Mr. Wardrick decided to wait until he spoke. He was talking about his views and positions. In fact, for him, Nagalilians can make money whether they live or die. As long as they can make money, Everything else is nothing.

What he couldn't imagine was that Mr. Patu was also convinced.

"The progress of society cannot be achieved by the awakening of one person. It requires the ability of all people. I am very grateful to my parents and God for allowing me to be born in the Federation, so that I can be born in a civilized society."

"But Nagalil is obviously not such a civilized society. It is barbaric, cruel, violent, ignorant, and backward... I can apply all the negative words used to describe society to Nagalil."

"But we can't give it up just because it's behind the Commonwealth."

"In terms of the attitude towards Nagalil and those natives, I suggest that while being relatively strict, we should also retain a tolerance. We should guide them to develop into a prosperous civilized society, and this is also the goal of the joint development company. One of the purposes.”

"We are cultivating this market, gentlemen. In just three months, according to incomplete statistics, the private market in Nagalil, which is almost like a desert, has begun to show the potential for prosperity. Mr. Lynch's commodity boom The sale proves this point, our initial decision was correct!”

"The above is my opinion, Mr. Chairman, fellow directors!"

Mr. Patu leaned forward slightly and tightened his chin slightly, which was regarded as a tribute.

He did not express his position too clearly, and used a sentence that seemed a bit vague, "While being relatively strict, we must also retain a tolerance."

In fact, he had made what he wanted to say clear both inside and outside the words, and he still left room for maneuver.

He turned the natives into aborigines, and the two words aborigines and aborigines are not the same thing.

When using aborigines to describe some people, there is already a very obvious hostility, but the aborigines are different. Although they are also very disdainful, they do not have such strong hostility.

Coupled with the last reservation of "tolerance", Mr. Patu's position can be said to be completely in the opposite direction of Mr. Geruno.

The latter also looked at Mr. Patu a little strangely. They had talked about these things on the phone not long ago. Mr. Patu also expressed his interest in using slaves to save already very low labor costs. up.

But Mr. Geruno didn't get angry because of this. In the decades he has lived, he has seen too many things, he should be angry, he should be happy, he should be angry, he should be depressed, no matter what He's been through it all.

After experiencing it, you will be able to calm down, just like some people can't find the door the first time, but after going in once, they will never be able to find it again.

He was now curious about what had changed Mr. Pattu's position, and he was interested in this.

"A wonderful speech..." Mr. Geruno commented, and then he asked as if chatting, "Do you plan to invite you to be the spokesperson for this year's religious ceremony, Mr. Patu?"

He could understand, but he wouldn't be indifferent, so he said sarcastically.

Mr. Pattu smiled and said, "I don't mind if they plan to invite me. I'm a true believer."

Everyone laughed softly. Whether they are believers or not, whether they believe in God or not, and whether they believe that people will be judged after death, all capitalists are the most standard "theists".

This is not because they are afraid of the number of religious groups, or need to cater to mainstream religious groups, it is simply that religious groups are also their customers, and they are also making money from religious groups, and these people make more money.

This is like the foreigners before Nagalil. In order to better sell their goods to the locals and better integrate into the local group, they would marry local women and have one or more mixed-race children.

The easiest way for religious groups to accept themselves and their own products is to find a church with a Bible on weekends, spend a serious Sunday, and then the picture of themselves praying will appear on the front page of religious newspapers. Then there is no problem.

Everyone is a devout believer, but what they believe in is not God, but money.

The atmosphere of the meeting was not serious, and the shareholders sitting at the tail end had more smiles on their faces. In fact, these people were the most unlucky.

Many of them are not even qualified to take the initiative to join forces. They can only follow whichever side the wave is.

But if someone is going to suffer, they will definitely not be able to run away.

Now, the atmosphere is so relaxed, so they laugh louder, as if this can maintain the current situation.

After a few more people spoke, Mr. Wardrick was called upon.

The biggest difference between him and Mr. Geruno, and Mr. Patu is that his family is not so prominent.

Although his family also made a fortune very early, it was still a bit worse than the descendants of these first immigrants, which also led to his family having no "glory" worthy of people's praise.

There are no strange collections, no shocking old photos, and there is no big gap with those people in terms of wealth and status, but it is difficult to integrate into the group of those people.

In fact, everyone is the same kind of person, as if there is an immoral saying in the market that the first-generation patriarch of the Akiner family is actually not a nobleman, but the long-term follower of the nobleman.

When he was at sea, he killed the nobleman and replaced him. There was no noble blood at all, only a long-term blood.

But the Akiner family, and the Duncan family, these people are a group of people, they just find it difficult to get along with the capitalists who made a fortune later, they think that those latecomers lack background, just like the latecomers laugh at them for being rigid and conservative.
