Blackstone Code Chapter 195: Capital is a dirty, despicable and shameless thing

Lynch sat politely at Vila's house for a while and then left. The husband and wife stood by the door to watch him leave and then slowly closed the door.

The smiles on the faces of the two of them converged at the moment the door closed, as if they didn't want to laugh at all, nor did they ever laugh.

"Is Bopein fun?" Gap sat back on the sofa, he turned on the TV, and there was a replay of last night's TV show.

Historically, the ratings in the afternoon are not very high, and it is difficult for the advertisements of this period to sell at a good price. Fortunately, the advertisements of this period are bundled with the advertisements of the prime time in a matching way and sold together.

But this still can't solve the problem of what to broadcast in the afternoon. In the end, they can only broadcast the content of the first day's prime time in the afternoon and then broadcast it again in the afternoon, which at least saves a part of the cost of program production or the cost of purchasing programs.

A program that has been watched once on TV makes people feel very boring, and it is not as fresh as when I watched it last night.

Villa packed up the tea set that Lynch left behind, and casually responded, "It's alright, I saw some things that are hard to see at ordinary times."

"Like what?" Gap asked.

Vila looked at him, "For example, jumping off a building, I was very scared at first, but the more I watched it, I gradually became a little numb. In these days, there have been many cases where a car driving on the road was crushed by the jumper and injured. News to the driver..."

Gap listened carefully. He really didn't know about these things, and they wouldn't be reported on TV or newspapers. That would only make this society more chaotic.

He could also feel how terrifying Bu Payne's situation was through these descriptions. His expression became a little more serious, but he finally couldn't help asking his doubts.

"I heard that these days, people treat you as a couple, and you didn't argue."

Vila glanced at him and didn't answer the question. She argued at first, but people didn't believe her, and they thought she wasn't real, so she simply didn't admit it, didn't deny it, and sometimes even said something Two little jokes that only adults will understand.

This made her integrate into these ladies very quickly, and in doing so, she did not want Lynch to be ostracized by Bu Payne's social circle.

Vera didn't expect that the matter over there would soon reach Gap's ears, but she had a clear conscience, so she didn't explain.

Looking at his increasingly unfamiliar wife, Gap suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness. He also paid attention to Lynch's career development, so that he could attack and make fun of Vera at any time, but what he didn't expect was that Lynch's The business is getting bigger.

And his wife, who he doesn't really think much of even with the title of certified public accountant, actually became the head of the office.

He is even close to catching up with him in terms of salary, not counting partner dividends.

This gave him an unspeakable sense of frustration. When Vera was just a "toy" and she had to rely on Gap, it allowed him to feel that he dominated this woman and that he completely ignored her value and Exist, treat her as an ornament to embellish her perfect life.

But when she began to realize her value and no longer needed to rely on him, he had a sense of crisis, a sense of panic.

The silence between the husband and wife made the atmosphere in the room depressed. After a while, Gap broke the calm, "Next year I may go to work in the next state, maybe in another environment, everything will be fine."

The economy, the environment, life, and the relationship between them may all get better, this is Gap's idea.

When Vila needs to rely on him again, he can try to be the master again.

It's just that his idea is doomed to fail.

On the other side, Lynch, who came out of Gap's house, sat in the back seat of the vehicle. He looked at the situation on the street for a while and asked the driver, "What happened in Sabine recently, why didn't I see the bus? ?"

In the past, buses in Sabine could be seen almost everywhere, which greatly facilitated the travel of citizens.

Lynch didn't realize this when he first got off the train, but now he has noticed that there is not a single bus along the way, which is very abnormal.

He thought it was because the drivers were going on strike. After all, wages in many places could not be paid, and it was normal to make trouble. Unexpectedly, the driver told Lynch that the Sabine Public Transport Company was bankrupt.

"It is said that their bosses put all their money into the stock market, and then you should get the point..."

Of course I understand that the financial tsunami has swept everything, and the owners of transportation companies will soon have no money on their books. The current economic situation is so bad that many people have given up the choice of taking the bus as a short-distance transportation. They save money Twenty-five minutes choose to walk.

The emptiness rate continues to increase, but the consumption does not decrease much. One or two fewer buses will not improve the current situation of the transportation company. If the reduction is more, the city hall will not agree.

After all, they signed an agreement at the beginning, and the city hall also gave a certain financial subsidy to the transportation company.

Under multiple factors, the fact that the transportation company could not pay salaries immediately aroused the panic of the driver group. Now everyone is most afraid of not having a job and a salary.

They blamed the failure of their boss's investment, and with the help of some people, these drivers drove their cars directly home, so that the entire city of Sabine now does not see many buses.

Even if there is, it is the driver who is running it himself, and it may still be operating at a loss, because the fare they run down a day is not enough for the fuel they consume.

Now the city hall is also urging the transportation company to fulfill its responsibilities as soon as possible, otherwise the contract will be terminated and the other party will be brought to court.

The owner of the transportation company, like a scoundrel, refuses to comply with the demands of the city hall.

In short, with the arrival of the financial tsunami, everything has become chaotic.

"There are more and more people roaming the streets recently, and there have been many appalling robberies. Although the police station is very busy, but..."

The driver asked for a head and didn't continue. Lynch already knew what he was going to say.

In the past, when the society was relatively stable, when a vicious case appeared, the criminal group could be quickly targeted, even specific to a certain person, because only these people would do this.

But as society starts to turmoil, everyone who is unemployed may be a potential criminal, which makes the police department's job harder, and the cost of finding criminals becomes higher and higher, but There are more cases happening constantly, and they can only put the limited police force and the cost of solving cases on those cases that are easier to solve.

As for the rest, I'll say it when everything gets better.

Early the next morning, the mayor called Lynch and asked if he had time.

A short while later, the two met at the mayor's office.

"Tell me about the topics you talked about last time..." After the mayor asked the secretary to bring some drinks, he closed the door.

I haven't seen each other for half a month. The mayor has some old looks, which may have something to do with how haggard he looks at this time.

Ristoan is determined to go all the way to the dark. The investigation team has begun to investigate Ristoan's business practices in Sabine and during the state's production period, and encourages people to report complaints.

They wanted to keep Ristoan, in various ways.

Before they could dismember a Henghui, now they can dismember a Ristoan, and now there is only one excuse.

As for whether it can be realized in the end, it is hard to say that the mayor can't put all of this on, including his previous ideas.

Previously, he contacted some capitalists and business owners to take over some of the gaps left by the Ristoan Group after leaving, and everyone had a good talk. In the end, he did not expect that the financial tsunami also swept these businessmen.

Many of them have already begun to sell their assets to protect themselves, not to mention letting them invest in new industries, it is unknown whether they can survive the end of the year.

More people have lost their jobs. The unemployment rate in Sabine has exceeded 19%, and other cities are not doing well. The state government has raised the alert level, and the military can be dispatched at any time to suppress it. of riots.

At the same time, the current situation has also exacerbated some political changes. Things that could not be discussed before can now be discussed, such as changing the structure of employment.

This is the era, it is the trend, it is the demand of society, people no longer ask for more security, they just want a job and a salary to support their family.

As for the rest?

Wait until your stomach is full before you think about it!

"How do you plan to employ people in a cooperative way?" The mayor was afraid that Lynch would not be able to recall, and directly named the core theme.

Lynch reminded keenly, "This is cooperation, not employment!"

Immediately afterwards he said, "I'm not in an employment relationship with these people, they sell me what I need, they make a profit, and I get what I want."

The mayor frowned. He could hear the hidden meaning behind Lynch's words. He didn't want to take any responsibility and guarantee, which made the mayor feel a little... too cold?

But this is the capitalist, to reduce costs and release profit margins, they always have a way.

The mayor nodded, picked up the pen, "Illustrate with examples, explain in detail..."

This kind of cooperation model is actually a variant of "piece rate work" ~IndoMTL.com~ It's just that no one has considered such a method in this era, because the strength of the workers is not small, with the help of the workers' union and the Socialist Party , workers are not vulnerable groups.

When necessary, they can also force the capitalists to give the capitalists a taste of the iron fist of the workers.

So when people talk about work and employment, the first thing that comes to mind is the protection and rights of workers. Such "cooperation" as Lynch said is not considered at all, because workers will go crazy!

Things that were impossible before, got a little bit of a turnaround because of the financial tsunami, and more.

After ten minutes, the mayor said in his disbelieving tone, "This is how you said, no insurance, no guarantee, no minimum wage guarantee, not even anything to bind you! "

"The workers will not agree, this is the most shameful, despicable, nasty exploitation and oppression I have ever seen!"

Lynch shrugged, "But I can give them a bite to eat, and they'll agree!"
