"We tauren will use this loan to purchase the enchanting products produced by your blood elves."

Tauren Ambassador Trust waved his hands and gestured: "I am here to help our new allies open the tribal market for a friendly visit. Of course you should thank me."

Haha, thanks?

"Oh, that's it."

Michaela's head turned slightly to the right, and she glanced at Humphrey with her peripheral vision. The latter also raised his right hand, made a gesture of scratching his forehead, and said softly:

"The tauren want to get the 5,000,000 gold coins we gave them, and then use our gold coins to buy our enchanting products."

Translator Shen Ji (self-proclaimed) Torina translated on the spot: "Whoring for free."

Two words, concise and concise.

In her previous life, Michaela was a prostitute who never watched videos three times and never rewarded people when reading online articles. She also proudly believed that "free prostitution" was the best quality in the world. Now, someone has obtained her for free.

On my head, the feeling is really:

"That makes sense, doesn't it?"

How can nonsense be unreasonable? To deny the other party is to deny free prostitution, then you are not denying it to yourself as well!

Interestingly, Humphrey on the side did not turn his face on the spot, but instead held his chin with his hand and began to think deeply.

The tauren ambassador Trust opposite was not in a hurry, but patiently took a puff of the cigar and enjoyed the pleasure of the tobacco in his nasal cavity.

Just like that, the scene fell into an eerie calm.

Only Torina in the spiritual world jumped up and objected: "Michaela, this kind of thing is not reasonable at all!"

"It seems unreasonable from an economic perspective."

Michaela said something else: "But this can directly increase jobs, and the money is a loan, and the loan needs to be repaid, although it is only the principal."

Torina retorted: "But you lost interest."

Michaela: "But if the money is left unmoved, there will be no interest! Moreover, the gold coins circulating in Azeroth are physical currency with stable value, not paper currency, and there is no currency depreciation caused by inflation."

"So no matter how long the loan period is, the principal will not decline in value due to time. When the loan expires and the principal is recovered, 5,000,000 gold coins will still be 5,000,000 gold coins, and there will be no loss of monetary value."

Torina understood a little bit: "So this time is equivalent to Silvermoon City issuing a loan to invest in its own enchanting industry?"

"So to speak!"

Michaela further said: "The enchantment industry has always been the economic pillar of Silvermoon City, but due to the impact of the natural disaster war, the entire industry chain is at a standstill, so there is an urgent need for a big deal to revive the industry. This is internal."

"For the outside world, because the blood elves have just joined the tribe, other members are not familiar with us yet. If this large-scale enchantment trade order is successful, with the excellent enchanting skills of the blood elves, I believe that opening up the tribe's market will not be a problem, and then there will be more

Lots of orders.”

Friendly reminder, the current financial situation of Silvermoon City is completely resting on its laurels. Its industries, especially the enchanting industry, have basically stopped working. Without industry, there is no income, without income, there is no tax, and without tax, the government has no money. It is a vicious circle.

No wonder the regent Aqiang specifically told Mikayla to complete the trade with the tribe. Only by opening up trade and restoring industrial production can there be income and taxation, and the government's economic situation can improve.

What?

Does the tribal treaty stipulate that members open markets to each other?

Yes, the market is open. You can sell your products, but is it okay if the other party doesn’t buy it? This does not conflict with the open market. The treaty does not stipulate that the other party must buy your product!

Back to business.

After some calculations by Michaela, in the short term, this interest-free loan for the blood elves is undoubtedly a loss-making transaction, but in the long term, as long as this enchantment trade successfully opens up the tribal market, the subsequent income will definitely be able to make up for the previous one.

loss!

"A simple description is to use the present to buy the future!" Torina said.

Looking at it from another perspective, the tauren's request for an interest-free loan must have been the result of careful discussions. They knew that the blood elves were in urgent need of a large trade deal to revive their industry.

So, Michaela said: "Tauren Ambassador Trust, if we agree to the loan, can you edit the speech? Well, haha, you know."

Michaela stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand and shook them a few times to make a scissors gesture. Anyone with a discerning eye would know at a glance that he was hinting at revising the speech.

"Oh, of course."

Trust took the initiative to move forward and said: "But we must finalize the matter now."

Torina added: "Because the Treasury Department of Silvermoon City has not yet been established, finance-related matters, such as loans, are still under the jurisdiction of the Department of Administrative Affairs. Now you understand the power in the hands of Humphrey, oh, Mikaela

How old is it?"

But at this moment, Humphrey spoke: "Blackmail!"

Trust pretended not to understand and said, "Are you talking about my suggestion?"

Needless to say!

Michaela put on a fake smile: "That's indeed a good suggestion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Trust reached out to the speech on the coffee table: "Since you don't agree with it, forget it."

"No, no!"

Neither Michaela nor Humphrey could allow this speech to be leaked and immediately stopped it. Michaela even said:

"I mean, we can make a deal, right, Humphrey?"

"Well... minister."

Humphrey stood up from the sofa and took two steps back to the corner. The meaning was already very obvious.

Michaela also waved to Trust with a fake smile. After the latter nodded, Michaela immediately stood up and walked to the corner with Humphrey.

Michaela said: "I think it's okay."

Humphrey immediately asked: "Is this okay?"

Michaela: "Trust gave us a solution!"

Humphrey: "You call this a solution? He wants our gold coins for free!"

Michaela: "This is a loan, you have to repay it."

Humphrey: "No matter how you explain it, we can't receive a copper coin in interest. Are you going to spend a full 5,000,000 gold coins to buy the so-called diplomatic friendship?"

Michaela explained: "I only know that these 5,000,000 gold coins can help us revive the enchantment industry and open up the tribal market. Humphrey, with your intelligence, you would not have thought of not doing this!"

Humphrey actually said righteously: "This is corruption, minister, this is political donation, using money to buy a way out, this is not justice!"

Even Torina exclaimed: "When did Humphrey, an old bureaucrat, become so righteous?"

Michaela also felt that something was wrong. This guy openly approved the construction of a luxury villa while she was away fighting, and used herself as a shield. God knows what other shameful things this guy has done (such as ordering the priests' union to brainwash the people).

)!

Is there any justice for people like this?

Noticing Michaela's gaze, Humphrey asked: "Minister, what are you looking at?"

"I'm looking at an old bureaucrat."

Michaela said: "In my impression, you are not a messenger of justice."

Humphrey: "Minister, what do you want to say?"

Michaela: "Humphrey, you are a power-hungry bureaucrat. When the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is about to be established, you actually plan to give up the current diplomatic achievements?"

Facing the various new departments that will be established after Silvermoon City, if the Administrative Affairs Department led by Humphrey still wants to maintain its position as the number one department, it must produce enough political achievements to suppress other departments and stabilize the situation.

For example, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs about to be established, Humphrey must seize the last opportunity to make a huge diplomatic achievement to provide eye drops for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. And the first foreign trade transaction after joining the tribe is obviously a very big deal.

Can’t Humphrey see the good political achievements?

"Minister, what were you talking about just now?"

Facing Humphrey's question, Michaela said angrily: "This enchantment order is for you to use to suppress the political achievements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs!"

"Oh, so that's it."

Humphrey "suddenly realized" and said: "Minister, you are really far-sighted and have even considered this point, but I am still kept in the dark. Please forgive me for being stupid."

After saying that, Humphrey had a bright smile on his face, while Michaela felt like she had been tricked.

"Michaela."

Torina said: "Did Humphrey already think of it, but he was just waiting for you to say it?"

Haha, do you still need to ask?

Of course that’s what happened!

The author directly points out that based on Humphrey's political experience, he has long thought of Michaela's "buying the future with the present" and also thought that this political achievement can consolidate his power, but he must show "justice",

"Integrity" and "honesty", so I deliberately opposed it.

In the bureaucrat's thinking, everyone has a price, and as long as he pays that price, he can conduct various bottomless transactions. For the bureaucrat, it is enough for him to know whether the result of the transaction is necessary. As for the price of the transaction,

, it doesn’t matter at all, the state pays for it anyway!

This is the so-called "reasonable consumption of public funds in exchange for political benefits."

Therefore, bureaucracy kills people, and good children should not learn from it!
