Father Mavie

Chapter 717 Run on the storm

The Education Reform Act is passed.

When leaving the Capitol, the second prince held his head high, with a smug smile on his face, while the eldest prince looked furious.

The eldest prince knew that he had fallen into the trap of the second prince, but there was nothing he could do. The bill was passed through a vote, and the cabinet and the king had no ability to stop the bill if it was passed by both the upper and lower houses, let alone the cabinet and the king would not help him.

Regarding the behavior of the three princes vying for the right of inheritance, the cabinet knew about it, and so did Rhodes IV. So what if they knew about it?

Even if Rhodes IV brought them together and told them not to compete anymore, would they listen?

Some things are unstoppable from the beginning.

Rhodes IV only hoped that they wouldn't get into a brother-in-law fight.

After the meeting, many members of parliament came to Kensington Palace, scrambling to see the second prince. The second prince didn't want to see him, but he had to.

"Your Highness! If the policy of equal rights for renting and selling is implemented, then all our plans will be in vain!"

Congressman Girard was emotional and spit: "People don't need to buy a house at all. They only need to pay cheap rent to be eligible for school!"

"Yes, Your Highness! We have spent all our money to buy a house. If we can't sell it, we will be completely locked up!"

A sense of panic permeated the living room. Even the normally high-ranking councilors were a little at a loss at this moment. The plan was completely disrupted. The eldest prince played a good card and successfully wiped out their hopes.

"Everyone, please calm down, there is no use in worrying."

The second prince took a sip of his cigar, sighed and said, "Although the right to rent and sell is the same, we don't need to rent it out! Wouldn't it be better to just sell and not rent?"

This is indeed a non-solution method, only selling but not renting, forcing people to buy houses. Although this kind of behavior is dirty, it is really useful.

but
"Your Highness, I don't recommend selling but not renting." Ma Wei said suddenly.

"why?"

"First of all, this policy will have a bad reputation on you, Your Highness. Secondly, there are many houses in London, and it is far from being difficult to find a house. Even if we don't rent it out, people will still not buy houses."

"Then what should we do?" A congressman asked: "The money has already been invested, so we can't throw it in our hands! Why do I need so many houses?"

Seeing that everyone wanted you to say something to me, the second prince hurriedly signaled everyone to be quiet, but everyone only wanted a solution, and the second prince couldn't give it.
"Buying a house can indeed make money."

When everyone was silent, Ma Wei continued: "London's housing prices will definitely rise. If you don't believe me, you can see that 50 years ago, the price of an apartment in London was only a few gold pounds. Now it has doubled several times, and it will be the same in the future. "

"According to the normal economic development trend, the currency will slowly depreciate, but this does not mean that the value of the house will increase. The house is only an investment product used to fight inflation. What we want is to increase its own value. Only in this way can we make money!" Jeweler Smith said , His business vision is also very good, sometimes even the second prince would ask him for advice.

"Yes, but this is an abnormal situation." Ma Wei said: "Everyone, please think about it carefully. Once the public school system is reformed and a new public school is established, even if nothing is done, the housing prices in London will increase, because London is not A closed internal circulation market, it is the economic center of the Kingdom of Windsor and is closely related to other cities!"

"You only saw the city of London, but ignored the entire Kingdom of Windsor!"

Being reminded like this, the second prince reacted suddenly: "The public school system was first developed in London. As long as the public school is established, not only the residents in London will choose the school, but even the people from the surrounding towns will flock to it. Since then, house prices in London will rise!"

"Rising housing prices will drive the economy. When the general environment improves, people will earn more. At this time, if we re-market women, we can still make money!"

The economy is a circle, and it will always have an impact on all walks of life. The second prince only saw housing prices before, but ignored the economic benefits brought about by rising housing prices, including the female market, which will also usher in vitality.

Smith asked the maid to bring a pen and paper, immersed himself in the calculations, and finally came to a conclusion:
If the second prince's deduction is correct.
The Kingdom of Windsor will usher in a golden age of economic boom!

what is this?
Is it crooked?
Smith shook his head dumbfounded and expressed his inference. When they heard that housing prices would not only rise, but also usher in a golden economic period, everyone suddenly became excited, and their previous nervousness was swept away.

"So, the equal right to rent and sell proposed by the Conservative Party has no impact on us at all?"

"There must be an impact." The second prince exhaled a puff of smoke: "The same rights for renting and selling will affect the sale of houses. After all, many people don't have enough money to buy houses, and they dare not take decades of loans."

The consequences of renting and selling the same rights are nothing more than prolonging the return cycle of funds. Originally, the second prince planned to sell all the acquired houses within one year, making a lot of money. Now it seems that this cycle will be infinitely extended .

When it will be paid back, no one can say for sure.

In the short term, it is difficult for the Liberal Party to make much action, which provides an opportunity for the Conservative Party. But in the long term, today's investment will surely bear fruit in the future.

The problem is that
When will the bright future come.

"Your Highness, there is one more trouble." Councilor Gordon, whose family controls Thames Bank, said hesitantly: "This time we acquired too many houses and used a lot of funds. If the funds cannot be withdrawn, Thames Bank may fall into an economic crisis. "

"Is the situation troublesome?"

"It's not too troublesome. According to the normal deposit and withdrawal behavior of depositors, the bank will not be affected. I am afraid that depositors will withdraw a large amount of money. In that case, Thames Bank will face bankruptcy crisis."

"Are you afraid that Charles will take the opportunity to make trouble?"

Gordon nodded, that's what he wanted to say.

Once the prince releases the news that Thames Bank has no money, the depositors will scramble to withdraw their money, which is the last straw for Thames Bank, which has poor capital turnover.

A bank is not just a bank, it has trust funds, stocks, loan investment and other businesses behind it, and Thames Bank is the top three largest banks in the Kingdom of Windsor. Break up the reorganization and declare bankruptcy.

Without the Thames Bank, the second prince lost the most powerful financial support.

It is completely unrealistic to rely on these congressmen below. The second prince knows in his heart that these people can only share wealth and wealth, but not adversity. When making money, they are more active than anyone else. When they need help, they shrink their necks and remain silent.
"If Mr Nicholas is willing to help, Thames Bank may be able to survive this crisis."

Gordon looked at Ma Wei and suggested, "Manstein Potions Company can provide guarantees to foreign banks and lend money to assist Thames Bank."

"no!"

Before Ma Wei could speak, the second prince sternly refused: "Risk hedging is absolutely impossible! Let Manstein Potion Company as a guarantee, what if the Thames Bank fails to save? Is it possible to let Nicholas declare the company bankrupt again? "

The Manstein Potion Company is currently the most important thing to the Second Prince. It cannot go bankrupt if anyone goes bankrupt. It even needs to be given priority for protection. He will never agree to such a stupid thing as being a guarantee for Thames Bank that puts him on a single-plank bridge!

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood me." Gordon said: "Mr. Nicholas is the sole potion distributor designated by the Church, and Manstein Potion Company is a giant currently controlling the international market. The Church will not let it For those who are bankrupt and in crisis, the Church of the Goddess of Destiny will definitely come to the rescue."

Behind the Manstein potion company is the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate. Once the church comes forward, the crisis will be resolved naturally. Not to mention anything else, the Pope alone will come forward and call on believers to calm down. Trusting the Thames Bank is enough.

The second prince never expected that a small "Education Reform Bill" would cause such a big trouble.

He just wanted to make some money at first
The hesitant second prince asked, "Nicholas, what do you think?"

Ma Wei smiled and said calmly: "I will obey His Highness's orders."

The collapse of the Manstein Potions Company is unlikely in the short term.

The reason is simple. Behind the Manstein Potion Company is not only the Church of the Three Fates, but also the Romanov Kingdom.

With the help of the two big countries, Ma Wei really didn't know how the company should go bankrupt.

Just because of a withdrawal run?
Thames Bank may be shaken by this, but Manstein Potions will not.

Ma Wei didn't mind guaranteeing the Thames Bank, and with the support of foreign banks, his goal had been achieved.

The "Education Reform Act" was passed, and the biggest beneficiary was not the eldest prince or the second prince, but the fourth prince Arthur.

Who is the specific implementer of a series of measures such as building public schools and establishing a school district system?
Of course it was Arthur who was the president of the Association of Educators.

In short, he has the final say on how to divide the school districts.

And what Arthur likes to do most is to support orphanages.

Ma Wei had discovered this hobby a long time ago, especially in recent months, after becoming the president of the Educators Association, more and more orphanages were funded by Arthur, and it is estimated that they all exceeded a hundred.

Originally, these children would not go to school, but if the order of the sponsor Arthur, the orphanage who wanted to continue to receive funding naturally would not dare to stop it.
Children in orphanages can enter free public schools and learn knowledge.

The children in the orphanage were either abandoned by their parents or lost their parents. In short, they were abandoned by no one. What would they think when they got Arthur's help?

Ma Wei generally understands that although he is not an orphan, he was taken away by the Crowley family during the Great Famine ten years ago when his parents starved to death. Even today, he still treats the Crowley family well. Have a good impression.

If it weren't for the Crowley family, he might have been exposed to the wilderness long ago.

For anyone who knows how to be grateful, this kind of kindness will be remembered in the heart. Even if only one out of ten people knows how to be grateful, Arthur can still gain a large group of crazy fans.

If this group of fans acquires knowledge, the elite among them may be adopted by the nobles, and then enter various social classes when they grow up.
Ma Wei didn’t dare to think any further.

Sometimes, he would feel sorry for Arthur's situation.

If it weren't for the coming of the gods, Arthur might be able to sit on the throne with his own strength.
After the gods came, he had to seek the protection of the gods due to the situation. Even so, he was still carrying out his plan in an orderly manner.

Wisdom, sharpness, calmness.
It is difficult for such a person to succeed.

Hearing that Ma Wei was willing to guarantee the Thames Bank, the second prince was a little moved.

He knew that Ma Wei could sit idly by. Manstein Potion Company had not received any help from Thames Bank, and the problem this time had nothing to do with Manstein Potion Company, but Ma Wei was still willing to be a guarantee.

Whose face is this?
The second prince felt that there should be no one else but himself.

The other silent congressmen formed a sharp contrast with Ma Wei. It goes without saying who is more trustworthy.

A few days later, the news of Thames Bank’s poor turnover appeared in the newspaper. Once the news was published, it immediately caused an uproar. Even so, a funding emergency was announced three days later.

Fortunately, countermeasures have been discussed a long time ago. On the day the news was published, Ma Wei visited the president of the London branch of the Royal Bank of Berlin and signed a guarantee agreement in the name of the Manstein Potion Company. It shows that the Royal Bank of Berlin borrowed from Thames Bank, and Thames Bank needs to pay an expensive interest for a period of one year. Within one year, Thames Bank must repay the loan, otherwise it will be replaced by 10% of the shares of Manstein Potion Company loan.

With the support of the Royal Bank of Berlin, the pressure on Thames Bank has dropped sharply. Every day, a large number of gold marks are converted into gold pounds and shipped to the bank, and then paid to depositors. The interest rate completely subsided the turmoil.

During the run on the Thames Bank, the establishment of a public school officially began. Arthur's behavior shocked everyone. He really set off a reform. It was more like turning the table than a reform.

After the passage of the "Education Reform Act", Arthur signed the first executive order, dismissing everyone including teachers and principals on the same day.

As soon as the dismissal order came out, it immediately caused an uproar, and countless people came to protest, but Arthur ignored the protesters and issued a second administrative order-teacher assessment.

Only those who have passed the teacher assessment can obtain the teacher qualification certificate issued by the Association of Educators. At the same time, only the holder of the certificate can hold the position of public school teacher.

The assessment is not only an academic assessment, but also a moral review. Even if you obtain a teacher qualification certificate, you must undergo regular inspections by the Educators Association. Once the teacher's ethics do not meet the standards, the teacher qualification will be immediately revoked and the teacher will never be hired.

Correspondingly, there is a generous annual subsidy for public school teachers, which is issued by the Educators Association to attract outstanding educators.

If it was just these, Ma Wei didn't think much of it. What really made him admire was the executive order issued by Arthur, which allowed girls over the age of 16 to be teachers. Although there were female tutors in the past, public school teachers never There is no place for women.

The price was that Arthur ushered in overwhelming accusations and doubts.
