Hogwarts: The Wizarding World's First Capitalist

"Performance??? How can you use this word?" Joe Ward, who was still struggling, became angry when he heard this.

But he still demonstrated the qualities of an elite, and while speaking indignantly, he tried his best to lower the volume of his voice.

He looked at his leader with a hint of confusion and anger in his eyes, and when he saw that the other party didn't say anything, he continued to add.

"We are standing on the steps of the Capitol building, with the State House behind us, the symbol of the legitimacy of the state government."

"It is a testament to the authority of the American legal system and the federal constitution that you are the governor of New York and what you are supposed to be delivering here is a political speech."

"Instead of like a..." Joe Ward was embarrassed, the word in his throat could not be uttered.

"Instead of performing on stage like a clown, right?"

Mr. Mario Cuomo suddenly spoke with a strange smile on his face.

"I'll help you speak if you can't, but luckily, you're not stupid enough to make a loud noise in a place like this."

"You think this is a solemn occasion, a symbol of American law, but I tell you clearly."

“In the minds of the people in the square below the stairs, this place means nothing except when the price of eggs goes up or the price of oil goes up.”

"This is where it becomes important because they need a place to gather and someone to vent their anger at."

"Mr. Joe Ward, what on earth do you want to know?"

When Joe Ward heard his leader suddenly say his full name, he knew very well that there was no time for him to think about anything else.

Instead of waiting for death, it would be better to ask the questions in his mind clearly, so he asked directly.

"I really don't understand why you agreed to let Mr. Hohenzollern hold a so-called press conference here."

"This is a state government workplace. How can it be lent to a commercial company? This is a violation of federal regulations and an abuse of government property."

Mr. Mario Cuomo glanced at the other person and the smile on his face grew even wider.

"You asked this question, which proves that you can still be saved. Yes, at the critical moment, those abstruse political theories are all bullshit."

"It may be more beneficial for you to clarify some of the doubts in your heart. First, I will answer your last accusation."

"This is not an abuse of government property. I did not lend the square to a business company, but rented it to the other party."

"What!!" Joe Ward was visibly stunned.

Mr. Mario Cuomo continued to speak indifferently.

"Don't doubt your ears. According to state laws and federal regulations, government property can be rented or transferred."

"It just needs to be priced right. They rented it for three days, and $300 million a day, so I think that's a good price."

"Don't limit your thinking to your life and the knowledge you read in books. This is America. Everything can be discussed."

Joe Ward was completely speechless. As a traditional white elite, he had a strange and vague fantasy about his own country.

The authority of the federal government and the pride and honor of one's own country all come from the heart.

He never thought that one day he would hear such words from a governor.

Not giving up, he continued to ask.

"Even if this is legal, what about Mr. Hohenzollern personally?"

"Let's not talk about the things in the past that have no evidence, but the financial crisis caused by this gentleman is a real fact."

"In New York State alone, according to the information I have, tens of billions of dollars of capital have been taken away from the capital market in various ways."

"Tens of billions of dollars are missing, and this is a huge blow to the prestige of the federal and state governments."

"Even if they cannot arrest him, they should have refused to cooperate. Why would Mr. Clinton, the future president, cooperate with such a person of corrupt character?"

"Watch your words." Mr. Mario Cuomo scolded, although his voice was low but his tone was very serious.

"Don't involve Mr. President. This has nothing to do with the President right now. Mr. Hohenzollern doesn't have any moral issues at all."

"All of his business actions were legal, and from a government perspective, President Clinton can't thank him enough."

"How could I be angry with him? I am the same. To some extent, the compensation he gave me is more than enough."

"Why? What compensation?" Joe Ward was ready to get to the bottom of it today, and he couldn't wait to ask as soon as his leader finished speaking.

Mr. Mario Cuomo looked at the other person without emotion, sighed and said.

"It seems that you are really not suited to be a politician. You are a perfect secretary, Joe, but you are like a primary school student when it comes to politics."

"I know what you mean, causing a small financial storm across the country so close to your own presidential inauguration."

"This is not a good thing for any future president, but you forget one thing."

"That was before the inauguration, when Mr. Clinton was not yet the president of the United States, and such a serious financial accident occurred at the end of the previous administration."

"So for the new government, as long as this incident can be successfully resolved, it will not only not be a problem, but a gift package delivered right to their doorstep."

The smile on Mr. Mario Cuomo's face completely disappeared, and his tone became cold and serious.

"Do you know that after Mr. Hohenzollern announced that he would hold a press conference here, his company's stock price has increased by more than 20% every day."

"It suggests that if this launch is a success, the crisis will be resolved automatically, and he can make an announcement about the production line in the United States."

"The progress of the assembly has been slightly delayed. We will wait until the new government takes office and obtains federal subsidy funds before we can proceed with the next finishing work."

"If I'm not mistaken, the first federal document signed by our future president will probably be given to Mr. Hohenzollern with a pen."

"As for my compensation? Haven't you seen it all? This press conference is my compensation."

"All 48 media outlets from around the world, all the well-known media outlets in the United States were present, even when important heads of state were visiting Washington."

"I may not be able to gain such public support. Facing so many cameras, shouldn't I perform well?"
