Blackstone Code Chapter 155: Small power

"I need some advice!"

The mayor standing on the rostrum rubbed his temples, "Now our city has more and more unemployed people, and public security is getting worse and worse. It is said that there have been some vicious cases in the surrounding cities. Stop this, and the city we've built over decades will be back in its prime!"

Everyone knows that destruction can't bring prosperity, only construction can, but the current situation has forced some people to go to the side they don't want.

If you can have food and clothing without committing crimes, and have some people in your hands, the vast majority of people in this world are still willing to be good people.

But these words from the mayor also made some people frown, because they just donated a sum of money not long ago, and now the mayor has brought them together to talk about how to save the city, it feels like Seems like he's trying to get some money out of people's pockets again.

It's a bad feeling, no one likes being blackmailed, even if the person blackmailing them is the well-deserved ruler of the city.

There are no other voices in the silent room, and the mayor looks at these people expectantly, hoping that they can come up with some way to solve the problem, but it is clear that his hopes are a little too optimistic.

No one spoke, everyone maintained a gentlemanly sitting posture and looked at the mayor on the podium. They were placed here like some kind of decoration used to make up the number of people.

The anticipation on the mayor's face gradually faded. His eyes swept across the faces of these people. At best, people avoided looking at him, but he couldn't get the answer he wanted.

This was destined to be a failed meeting. In fact, it was already foreseeable on Wednesday. When Lynch paid out 100,000 yuan and many people had to pay more, they would There is a feeling of being robbed.

Afterwards they investigate or don't investigate, and eventually some may conclude that Lynch was not the "trustee" arranged by the mayor, but they were still robbed.

If this was a few years ago, 300,000 to 50,000 yuan would be available to them anytime, anywhere, and everyone was still rich at that time.

Everyone's life is not easy now. It's actually quite reluctant to get 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Everyone feels some pain.

Now the mayor's purpose for bringing everyone together again, in fact, the people in this room are very clear, they know what the mayor wants, but they are unwilling to compromise, at least not this time.

Endless compromises will only make the mayor blindly and miscalculate his influence, but in reality people are not so reliant on him, and now they have a "role model".

On Monday, the stock price of the Ristoan Group began to plummet. Many people regarded this as an interesting news. Sometimes there is such a dominant group company in a city, which is not for other small companies. a good thing.

Because the upward channel is basically a semi-closed state, the city hall will give priority to a large number of policies to this dominant local pillar enterprise, rather than to those developing small and micro enterprises to support their development.

Only if this group falls, most companies will get some new opportunities and some new policies, so they have been watching jokes, watching the stock price of the Ristoan Group all the way down, some people He even sold his Ristoan stock in order to push him on the edge of a cliff.

This is also one of the reasons why people are willing to pay on Wednesday. People saw the terrible city hall. He just made an outward appearance, and the stock of the Ristoan group began to plummet. It is said that some announcements made by Neo and the board can not change this. fact.

Secondly, after the fall of Ristoan, it is good for the businessmen in this city. They can buy the properties of the Ristoan Group at a low price, which is equivalent to making a lot of money, so even if they Bite the bullet and pay for the mayor's move.

The situation is a little different now, however. Neo has publicly stated that he intends to end Ristoan's operations in Sabine and relocate its headquarters to Conservative turf in the next state.

The mayor of the capital city of the neighboring state also stated on Friday night that they would try their best to bring in external forces to help their city get through this difficult time. They also promised the society that if the Ristoan Group can negotiate, Settled down in their city, then the Ristoan Group will provide no less than 3,000 jobs for their city.

This is only in the early stage. By next year or the year after, they will provide more than 5,000 job opportunities, which immediately makes the citizens of the whole city cheer.

In fact, in the context of the current era, people's needs are really simple, that is, not to starve to death, and to have a job, especially a job.

Work represents a stable life for all members of a family, work is a must, nothing can be more important than employment opportunities at a time like this, absolutely nothing.

Looking at it now, it seems that all this is not as simple as people imagined at the beginning. Ristoan may not have no way out. It is possible that they have already found a way out, so the mayor and governor will tell them dissatisfied.

The power of a role model is endless, and Ristoan told people with real-life experience that if they want to solve some of the troubles in their hands, the best way is to switch to the Conservative Party, which is now also facing and the Progressive Party. Same trouble, but they speak better.

People sat in the audience and looked at the mayor, and the mayor looked at them, and in the end the mayor had to speak up, which made him feel as if he was being humiliated, "I need more jobs from you. ..."

"This is impossible, Your Excellency!", someone interrupted the mayor's speech directly, and this guy also attracted everyone's attention.

Lynch couldn't help but look curiously at this brave warrior with a brave heart. He interrupted the mayor's words during the meeting. What kind of mind did he have to do such a thing?

It was a young man in his early thirties, about thirty-two or three years old. He even stood up on his own initiative. It must be said that he has a good appearance, of course, he is not as good as Lynch.

He's calm and not frantic, which means he knows what he's doing.

He looked at the mayor and continued to repeat what he just said, "This is impossible, Your Excellency, I have a small metal processing factory behind me. I employ twenty-seven workers, which is the largest I can maintain. scale.”

“Since the second half of last year, it can be said that the things I have produced have been difficult to sell, but I still maintain this scale without any change, and I still pay workers wages, although in the eyes of some people, I have Hourly Wage Act minimum wage is unethical, but at least I'm allowing these workers to get a paycheck from me every month!"

“Since May this year, I have not received a single penny in return for three months. I can no longer support the wages of this factory and those workers, not to mention hiring more workers. Before I could not find a way out, I had to close my factory, so it was impossible for me to expand jobs!"

"And!", his voice suddenly rose, causing the mayor's scalp to go numb, and he pursed his lips and stared at the man, while the young man continued, "And I think that the Penn City's problem cannot be solved by increasing job opportunities. Our problem is that our products are not sold. Your Excellency the Mayor, as well as the state and federal governments, should help us find sales, not let us bear our burdens. Responsibility that should not be taken!"

These words were very high-sounding, at least in Lynch's view. Others also began to applaud, and the applause soon became one, which made the mayor's face even worse.

Actually, many of what he said are correct. If you can't sell things, the company can't get profits and pay back, and it's impossible to support workers.

What's the difference between letting factory owners and entrepreneurs add new jobs at this time and robbing them of their money?

His words represent the truest feelings of many businessmen at this time, and they will support him of course.

The mayor looked at the young man and wrote down his appearance, but the young man did not seem to be afraid of the "malicious" gaze from the mayor, and he was not afraid at all.

This makes it inevitable that the mayor won't guess something behind him, maybe his arrangement from Ristoan and Neo.

The applause died down quickly, they knew that if the applause continued for too long it could make something bad, and all they needed was a statement, not a confrontation with the mayor.

Not everyone will be able to leave the city, like the Ristoan Group.

Although going to another city can get rid of some of the current predicaments first~IndoMTL.com~ For example, the wages of workers, but the new city will have more severe competition behavior and policy pressure, if they can not be like Ristoan This affects the lives of most people, and they better not run around.

The mayor pinched the bridge of his nose. He raised his hand and asked the young man to sit down, and then apologized to everyone, "I ignored your pressure in this regard..." This is the most he can do. The apology of the apology was accepted by everyone.

"Then is there anyone who can give some solutions? I don't ask any of you to solve the problem that even His Excellency the President can't solve at present, but at least it can be alleviated. Our situation is very bad!"

In the face of the mayor's inquiries, people are still silent. At this time, whoever has a solution is fighting against the capitalists in the entire city of Sabine.

Looking at the unresponsive conference room, the mayor realized for the first time that some things were not as easy to solve as before, and his face became worse. Lynch in.

It reminded him of the words Lynch said when he and Lynch had dinner last week.
