Blackstone Code Chapter 88: As long as you wear a mask, everyone is an actor
"Agreed?" The mayor looked away from the window. He glanced at Ferrara and asked, "How's it going?"
Returning to the office, Ferrara saw His Excellency the Mayor. At this time, the complex emotions in his heart were like a truck crashing into a chemical store, and various reactions continued one after another.
The only thing that made him feel more comfortable was the check that belonged to him in his chest pocket. In fact, it was not necessarily a bad thing to promise Lynch.
The City Hall does not provide salaries for people like Ferrara. The salaries are paid by the mayor's own private office. In other words, the mayor pays salaries for people like Ferrara, then this salary It can't be too high, which is why his salary is only more than 500 yuan. It is difficult for the mayor to give him a salary that is too high.
In fact, it can be said that I can't afford it, but it is difficult to give too much. The salary of members of the mayor's private office, including the expenses of the private office, comes from the political donations donated by capitalists.
The use of political donations also has certain standards and requirements. It does not mean that the capitalists give the money to politicians, and politicians can spend it as they want. It has a relatively complete process and is also supervised.
If the salary of a personal staff member like Ferrar employed by His Excellency the Mayor is too high, the panel overseeing the use of the funds has the power to reduce Ferrar's salary or ask the mayor to fire him.
This is a very rigorous, complicated and comical process. To put it simply, after the capitalists give the money to the politicians, they must prevent the politicians from taking the money and do nothing, and at the same time prevent the greed of the politicians from expanding, so they think A number of methods have been used to limit the use of this political donation, and until certain needs are met, this political cash can be withdrawn to the greatest extent unconditionally.
But until then, it has to come by the rules, and many eyes are on them.
At the same time, this has also become the biggest weakness of staff like Ferrar, or a shortcoming at work.
Once they are fired for some reason, it is very difficult for them to find the same job again, even if they go to a general company, it is difficult for the company to give them a satisfactory job, so even if they are aggrieved outside , and try to endure it as much as possible.
In the future, if mayors can realize their political ambitions and ideals one day, they may not have the opportunity to go from behind the scenes to the front.
In the history of the Commonwealth, there are many examples of aides-turned-politicians who helped their former employers realize their ideals in life, gained enough experience themselves, and more importantly, they gained the friendship of capitalists.
With the support of capitalists, plus their experience and experience, it is easy to achieve success, which is why Lynch's performance is somewhat strong, and Ferrara did not resist.
As soon as the trouble was too ugly, Lynch patted his **** and walked away. People would only say that his political stance and the mayor's political stance were not on the same line, so he left.
But Ferrara is prone to problems. When people talk about Lynch, they also talk about the mayor. A mayor forces a capitalist away. This is not a funny thing, it will make more capitalists. Be vigilant.
In the end, it will only be Ferrara who will be unlucky. Not only will he and Lynch meet, but the mayor will also—"I have wronged you for a while...", and then a lifetime will pass.
If he doesn't, maintaining a certain degree of closeness with Lynch will actually help his future plans.
Once he decides to run for a certain position, Lynch, who has a good relationship with him, can immediately become his supporter. The key to winning this year is not how capable a person is, but whether he will Can act, and how much campaign money there is.
The mayor is holding a cup of coffee, sipping it while looking at Ferrara.
He does have a lot of work, but he also has a lot of staff, including Ferrar, he has a total of four staff, and two lads who are responsible for the dirty work.
Many times his job is to get everyone together, discuss the content of the work, and then complete his "homework" according to the results of the collective intelligence, so in fact the mayor's job is not as complicated as people think .
What is really difficult to accomplish is not much related to his paper work, which is all in the society.
This time his staff found out about the second-hand goods auction and immediately realized the value of it. Getting what people need for less money, or reducing the desire to shop, can allow a family Save more money.
With financial reserves, even if life will have some difficulties, it will not be completely impossible to survive.
These are just the most superficial views, and it's the word "action" that really gets the staff's attention.
When faced with a problem, most politicians always use words like "being dealt with", "under discussion" or even "there is nothing we can do" to explain why no action has been taken.
Although most people don't expect immediate solutions from their rulers, they're happy as long as they don't make things worse.
But sometimes people still feel dissatisfied and angry about the inaction and indifference of the ruler. Therefore, a successful politician and ruler must let the people see that he is not everything when faced with difficulties. Did not do, but did something.
The second-hand commodity trade is the best answer to the mayor in the face of economic recession. He can use this to send a signal to the people of Sabine that he contributes to the city and its residents. With his own power, he is not a "zombie".
As for the result, if it is a good result, then people will not be stingy with their praise, and they will give him a high enough evaluation from the public to the political arena.
If it is a bad result, first of all, he has at least worked hard, and secondly, whether the implementation is in place, whether it conforms to his original plan, or whether there are some problems that caused the failure of this plan has nothing to do with him.
On the contrary, he can also take this opportunity to accumulate experience, which can be used as a political experience and knowledge reserve when necessary.
A perfect plan, he didn't even need to pay any price to make it happen, so why not?
Facing the mayor's gaze, Ferrar nodded. He had sorted out his emotions and became calm, as if all the results were within his plan.
"I've negotiated with Lynch, and I've talked with him about something more far-reaching. With my help, Lynch realizes the role of Your Excellency Mayor and the party behind you to Sabine City~IndoMTL.com ~He really wants to have dinner with you..."
When Ferrar said this, His Excellency the Mayor just smiled. There are more than 800,000 people in this city, but only one in ten thousand people in this city has such a chance. He does not think Lynch It's one of those ten thousandths.
Ferrar is very aware of His Excellency the Mayor's style and his attitude towards work and life. He did not expect the mayor to speak out.
"Lynch promised to build a second-hand goods distribution channel covering the whole state with Sabine City as the core, providing at least 500 jobs for the society at the beginning of next year, and..."
Ferrar took out the transfer check from his pocket and put it on the table, "This is what he spontaneously mobilized his employees to donate to you in order to thank you, Your Excellency the Mayor and the Progressive Party for their help to Sabine City. Hope to help you and the city of Sabine."
The mayor raised his eyebrows, showing some interest. He took the check, glanced at it, flicked it with his index finger, and then handed it back, "Give it to the accountant for accounting..."
Political contributions will be handed over to a special accountant, and then the money will also go into a special public account, which is nominally controlled by the mayor.
He said for a while, "What did you say just now?" Before waiting for Ferrara to answer, he asked himself, "Lynch wants to invite me to dinner?" A smile appeared on his face. , "Tell him that I agree. For some responsible young entrepreneurs, as a local manager, I should pass on my experience that is not outdated to him and help him avoid some detours."
He raised his eyebrows, "Look at my itinerary and help me arrange it."
It can be seen that Your Excellency the Mayor is in a good mood.
