Chapter 601: A Small Gift
Merchants can buy and sell anything for the sake of business.
Because there is no money to be lost in the war? Then, before the war, it is enough to earn the losses that may be suffered, and when the time comes, it will not be lost, and if there is no loss, it will be earned, and maybe it will be able to make a war profit.
"Why do you refuse? Why do you want to refuse, isn't it a bit stupid to return the military funds sent to the door to the outside? ”
Over the years, Rorschach had become accustomed to dealing with greedy merchants.
Talking to them about love and contracts is just a joke, expecting them to send charcoal in the face of the pressure of war is a joke in a joke, but as long as they are given a chance to make money, they are more fearless of life and death than the battle-hardened brave.
"First of all, we need to build a new urban area? I approve the commercial tax on the transaction of large commodities, and I approve the renovation and construction of real estate in the old city. ”
Since someone is willing to take the initiative to get on the ship, why refuse, anyway, I can't control it on my side, so it's better to open the door of convenience.
Over the years, businessmen and merchants have come and gone, and more of them have suddenly gone bankrupt when they get rich overnight, but they do bring new technology, new culture, and new business priorities, and they are whiter and blacker than the hardest bees, and faster than the most paparazzi reporters...... Well-informed.
I have to admit that these profit-chasing businessmen have promoted the innovation of the entire city, the whole country, and even the entire civilization.
As for whether they slipped away in wartime...... It's actually quite difficult to say, although the courage of the merchants is not worth expecting, but as long as they can get benefits, they can get more than expected profits in the war, they really dare to sell anything.
"And is it really said that you can quit if you quit? Even if you make back your capital, until the last minute, are you really willing to give up so many years of investment? ”
Originally, Rorschach wanted to open it, they wanted to invest, the only thing they needed to pay attention to was to guard against those cultists who infiltrated it.
It's just that because of a recent incident, Roxiaka died of these applications, and even he himself is inclined to expand the scope of business.
Over time, it was not only the Ash who had invested in Ansolein, but also the chaotic forces of the evil gods, and the thinness of the plane barrier had opened the door to them.
Every day, New Winteria City can search for dozens of cultists, all kinds of strange societies, there are countless conspiracies, in just seven years, there have been more than a dozen evil gods descending catastrophes, although the ones that came down are not real bodies, but most of them have far exceeded the previous Eye of Wisdom event.
And what makes people headache is the old rival of the Eye of Wisdom, who has obviously not forgotten the Haraite Federation.
The cultists and the advent of the evil gods related to it accounted for more than half of such incidents, and strange eyeball creatures even appeared on the monsters in the wild, even those who did not have common sense in this area knew that the evil god boss had obviously set his attention on this area.
And don't think that the person who comes from Ash has nothing to do with the evil god, for the evil god boss, Ash without a plane barrier is easier to infiltrate than Anthoreen, and they don't make trouble just because they may not be able to get the local Ash Lord God in their homeland, and they don't benefit much.
Spies, spies, evil god beliefs or something, are discovered in Ash every year, and more must be potentially underwater, and it is all too common for controlled chaebols, conglomerates, and new gods to turn their heads and plant seeds in Ansoreen or something.
Not to mention it from afar, it's like the silver elf God of War experienced by Rorschach before, which is a typical example.
"Let's speed up the approval process as soon as possible, and it will be possible to reduce the amount of sand mixed in. ”
Each company has complete control over its own territory, and there have been many cases of nails that are nominally investments but in fact evil gods, and the city's guards regard these as merit, but Rorschach worries about how many potential underwater unexploded bombs there are, as is customary.
Other ideas are not accepted, the inviolability of private property is a very good businessman, obviously there are a lot of unexploded bombs in it, but unless no investment is required, no one can enter, otherwise there must be many potential threats.
What Rorschach has done recently is to push for an approval system that gives the City Guard and the military the right to review raids, and to randomly conduct raids on private companies and churches.
This is a good thing for the safety of the city, and it is also the authority of Rorschach, a member of the board of directors, and it is regarded by his colleagues in the military committee as a powerful policy to expand military power, but it is .......
“....... Looks like we're going to be vetoed by parliament again? Damn businessmen. ”
The supremacy of money and shares was the initial legislative basis of the city, and as the power of the Federation grew and the number of members of the parliament grew, it was impossible to think of a single family dominating.
And those parliamentarians have the support of consortia, corporations, and churches behind them, each representing their own interests, but Rorschach's selfless plan has made him a public enemy in the eyes of many people.
"Damn, I know you're smuggling, selling contraband, doing parallel trading, and ...... I'm not looking at you, I'm only looking at evil gods and enemies. ”
Rorschach roared at the parliamentary questioning, but it was clear that no one wanted their homes to be raided and inspected, not just because of weakness, but because the merchants feared more than anything else.
The pursuit of profit-seeking businessmen has brought rapid development to the Federation, but it has also brought a large number of security risks.
Rorschach has amended the bill three times in parliament and put it to a vote three times, but there is still no sign of passing.
Yes, this is the event that gets Rorscha dead for approval.
In return for the bill being vetoed three times, Rorschach also exerted his authority as the board of directors of New Tonia City, firmly blocking all the new city construction and old city renovation plans, forcing the other party to give in.
But the merchants' concessions did not wait, Rorschach waited for something else.
"Boom!"
One day, everyone saw a huge mushroom cloud on the office building where Rorschach was, and three self-detonating trucks that crashed into the building.
