Balancing personal interests Sample Clauses

Balancing personal interests. Xxx Xxxxxx had been the strongest supporter and patron of Xxx Xxx and had made sure he was always the first person to congratulate him with successes in his career.663 However important Xxx Xxxxxx may have been to Xxx Xxx’x career, the death of this patron in 1760 did not have a big impact on the latter’s rise in the hierarchy. Xxx Xxx made himself useful to other powerful servants and Xx Xxxxx quickly replaced Xxx Xxxxxx as his principal patron.664 Xxxxxx had not always been favourably dispossed towards Xxx Xxx, but after the latter’s appointment to Governor of the Coast he changed his mind. Not to mince matters since Xxx Xxx could not be ignored when it came to promotions on the Coast, the Governor-General and Xxx Xxx needed each other. When Xxx Xxx heard rumours of Xxxxxx’s return to Europe, he made sure he set a new course. As the obvious successor to Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxx turned to Xxx xxx Xxxxx, indicating possible improvements which might enhance the position of the VOC in the region.665 Xxx Xxx also discussed reforms in the private trade, explaining to Xxx xxx Xxxxx the weak points in Xxxxxx’s system and proposing measures for improvement.666 As soon as the information of Xxxxxx’s retirement proved false, his stream of recommendations dried up. Even if networks functioned well, the combination of different interests did not always yield the expected result and tensions were created. After his promotion to Governor of the Coast, Xxx Xxx and Weijdom, Chief at Jaggernaijkpoeram, had serious disagreements. Xxxxxxx failed to inform Xxx Xxx about what was going on in Jaggernaijkpoeram, but wrote extensively about the events there to his patron, Xxxxxx, in 663 NA, Xxx Xxx, 25, 5, 9 November 1758, Xxx Xxxxxx to Xxx Xxx, (…)The principle purpose of this letter is to congratulate Your Honour with your felicitous appointment to the Government of the Coromandel. I humbly again refer to the content of the same and I do not conceal that the thought behind my letter will have been clear to you already before receiving this letter, however I wshall be the first who has brought this favourable change to your attention.
