Blackstone Code Chapter 97: Guide the way
Early the next morning, the content of Saturday's second-hand goods auction became the focus of public discussion.
The economy is sluggish and the unemployment rate is high, but the consumption level will not regress, nor will it be possible to regress, which makes the needs of many households always only in the plan.
In fact, in the past, Sabine City, and even the entire Federation, also had second-hand goods trading places. For example, in some alleys in the lower city, people would cheaply deal with some things stolen from other places, among which there are more clothes.
Antique stores often accept second-hand goods that look newer. In addition to antique stores, there are also small shops specializing in recycling second-hand electrical appliances, as well as real **** shops.
But the pawnshops of the Baylor Federation are not the same thing as the pawnshops of the other world. In the Baylor Federation, the pawnshops only deal in luxury goods, and they are not interested in those businesses that may only be a few dollars. .
Therefore, the whole second-hand commodity trading industry is still in a semi-destroyed stage, and many people have not realized the wealth in it, just so Lynch found it cheap.
To say that such a large-scale second-hand commodity auction organized by Lynch yesterday is something that has never happened in the history of the Federation, and it immediately attracted the attention of the public.
The core that can attract everyone's attention has two main parts.
The first part is Lynch's second-hand goods auction. Is it really like what the newspaper said, everything is available, all kinds are complete, and prices are low.
The second thing that gets people talking is yesterday's transaction value, which was almost half a million!
The money was for tax returns, and Lynch didn't plan to hide it. He generously disclosed the real information to the newspapers, including the tax bureau, which shocked the entire Sabine people.
At times like this, they hit half a million transactions in the afternoon, how many things did they sell, and how much did they sell for.
No matter what the outside discussions and speculations are, it can't change the fact that Lynch's Interstellar Trading Company and this second-hand commodity trading auction became popular all of a sudden, and Mr. Mayor also became popular.
The lunch that should have been put on the day after tomorrow was also moved by Mr. Mayor to noon on Sunday.
He was supposed to spend a happy weekend with his family at this time, but Lynch's big surprise forced him to take a little time at noon to deal with it.
Their lunch was arranged in a relatively private private place, from the countryside to the core of the Federation, filled with various private places of business nature, so that people in need can talk about some secret information anytime, anywhere. matter.
It was a simple lunch. Lynch arrived at the appointed place ten minutes early, and the mayor arrived just after.
The mayor is in his 40s this year, his hair is a little gray, and he looks like he's working hard.
He's a little overweight, but not fat, just a bit fuller than normal, about five feet seven inches, not too short for this day and age.
A person who seems to be a little harsh, but seems to be very easy-going.
Under the introduction of Ferrara, the two greeted each other and considered it as acquaintance.
Ferrar took the initiative to stare at the chef cooking food for them, and deliberately gave the space here to the two.
The mayor took out a cloth bag from his pocket, and inside it was a nice-looking pipe with golden-yellow wooden patterns, giving people a very precious feeling.
"Do you mind?" the mayor asked. Lynch shook his head. Then he stuffed some cigarettes into his pipe, lit it with a blowtorch, and took two puffs. The whole person looked at it. Go up and relax a little.
"I like this, although some people say they're unhealthy..." he smiled, and the conversation quickly shifted from the pipe to what happened yesterday, "My original plan today was to be with the kids. , but I saw the news in the morning and I was honestly shocked."
"With a transaction volume of 500,000, you may have created a history!" The mayor did not hesitate to praise his words. After the news came out, his staff gathered in his study and talked about for this auction.
In their opinion, the transaction volume of 500,000 is roughly equivalent to meeting the material needs of the bottom society of at least 1 million sols - the sol is the unit of the popular currency of the federation, and the sol is also the name of a person, He established the Commonwealth and was the first President of the Commonwealth.
People called him a hero. In order to commemorate this hero, after a national discussion, it was finally determined that his portrait was printed on the banknotes, and people also called the money "Sol".
This is a more official name. In life, no one would say such a stupid dialogue as "One Federal Sol". They would only say "one dollar".
One million federal sol, spread it out evenly, it is not impossible to say that yesterday afternoon, this second-hand commodity trading auction met the short-term material needs of 10,000 families in Sabine City, which became a terrible number.
With some processing and policy guidance, it can be said that this second-hand goods trade fair held under the impetus of the City Hall and Your Excellency the Mayor greatly satisfies the pursuit of a better life by the people at the bottom of Sabine City and Yearning, reducing some potential social conflicts, this is definitely a feat that can be done!
He and his staff never thought that Lynch could do so well. Wait.
Lynch is very humble, "I can have such achievements, thanks to the free market environment of Sabine City, and the local policies full of goodwill and support for new things, especially you, who have given me in this regard. Great help."
He said these flattering words without blushing and heartbeat, which made the mayor smile a lot. It's not that he has never seen shameless businessmen.
But being able to say something like Lynch made him feel like he was really such an amazing businessman. It was the first time he had seen him, and he suddenly felt that Lynch was a very interesting person, at least he was good at talking.
This is also the main reason why he and Lynch made the meeting earlier. He intends to promote Lynch and his business as a local city hall-led political achievement, so there will definitely be more people from all walks of life to examine and find fault.
He and Lynch have to be on the same page, so that both parties will get the expected benefits and there will be no scandals and troubles.
He thought that this young man, Lynch, would not be very good at talking. Young people always felt that the world would not turn around without him. He didn't expect Lynch to be so sensible, which made him have some surprises. A child of an ordinary family.
He suddenly changed from a bystander to a leader. Although this was the mayor's idea from the beginning, it still made him feel a little guilty, just a little, a little bit~IndoMTL .com~ With his pipe in his hand, he said pointedly, "I heard you're planning to spread your business across the state?"
Lynch nodded calmly, "Inspired by your charisma, Your Excellency Mayor, I think we should put aside geographical limitations and take on more social responsibilities, as long as it is something meaningful to people, Good things should be done with effort."
"And I will not only sell second-hand goods, but I will also recycle second-hand goods on a large scale throughout the state, so that some goods that are put on hold, can't function, can't produce effective value are turned."
"Things that may be temporarily useless to me will play an important role in other people's lives. Through specialized trading channels, we can meet the material needs of the bottom of the society without increasing their financial burden.”
"Even they can sell second-hand goods in times of distress to relieve the enormous financial pressure on households, which will improve the financial situation and living conditions of millions of households for years to come."
"I firmly believe this!"
The mayor kept nodding during Lynch's presentation. He thought of more. Lynch's words were very enlightening. If he could do what he said, he would undoubtedly become the mayor A shining achievement during the administration of Sabine.
He had a general understanding, and the smile on his face became more amiable, "Your idea is very good. When I chatted with the governor before, he talked about the young people's ideas. It's very interesting. If there is a chance If so, I'll introduce you to..."
He paused when he said this, then asked pointedly, "What do you think of the Federal Progressive Party?"
Lynch was very enthusiastic, "This is a very good party..."
