723 Shelters
Hayes's so-called "fairness and justice" can only be wishful thinking in the end, not only government officials can't do it, but others will also be at a loss, there has never been an absolute "fairness and justice" in this world, don't look at Hayes is the president of the United States, Hays's words can only be said Even if there are not enough allies, without the consent of Congress, Hayes is also a mascot, in the presidential palace, Hays's words still have a little effect, a hundred meters away from the presidential palace, Hays's words have no meaning.
It sounds a bit cruel, but in fact there is no warmth in politics, and the great chairman once lamented that his decree would affect a hundred kilometers around the capital at most, and if the scope was expanded a little, the chairman could not do anything.
Li Mu does not dare to compare with any of the famous figures in history, for the history that exists, Li Mu has the respect that he should have, Li Mu's achievements now seem to be brilliant, but this does not prove that Li Mu is beyond ordinary people, put those famous geniuses in history in Li Mu's position, if they have the resources that Li Mu has, what they can do, maybe they will do better than Li Mu, and the time is also fate.
Walking out of the office building, there are many people at the door looking at Li Mu with expectant eyes, they are eager to get the opportunity to meet Li Mu, but because of the lack of identity, they can not get an appointment, even so many people are not willing to give up, they are guarding the door of the headquarters of the Junma Group, just to find such an opportunity, even if there is only one sentence of effort, it will make them rush, just like Warren Buffett's lunch, even if it costs a lot, they are willing to get even a few words of advice.
"Mr. Ream, give me a chance, and I'll reward you for exceeding your expectations—"
"Reem, please, I have a practical project, I'm sure, there will be a 100 percent return-"
"Ten minutes, Mr. Reem, I only need ten minutes-"
There was a loud voice, but Li Mu didn't have any heart, just waved hello with a smile on his face, and then left without hesitation.
Maybe they really have projects and ideas, but before they get the opportunity to present themselves to Li Mu, they must first prove that they are worth letting Li Mu pay their time for them, and if they don't even have the qualifications to make an appointment, Li Mu doesn't need to waste time for them.
"I think we should show an overwhelming advantage in order to prove the strength of our Kufco Group, we have given them a chance, and if they can't take it, it will only prove that they are incompetent." Sitting in the car, Mason was still trying to fight for it.
"Relax Mason, whether it's a car rally or rugby league, it's just a game, don't care too much about winning or losing, our goal now is to get more people involved so that we can continue to expand our influence, and when we reach a certain level of influence, that's when we show our dominance." In order to convince his best racers, Li Mu is not afraid of wasting saliva, and he is still patient with the people around him.
If these words are heard by those fans of car rallies and rugby leagues, it is estimated that their three views will collapse directly, maybe it is cruel to say it directly, but even in the 21st century, the essence of those sports events has not changed, war in peacetime? Don't be funny, it's just a game, Jamaica is the world's No. 1 sprinter, and it hasn't run their GDP up, so the people should not have enough to eat or not to eat.
Li Mu's words are still very good here in Mason, Mason did not continue to argue, after all, Li Mu did not do too much, although Mason gave up a few sub-championships, but the final championship always belongs to Mason without suspense.
When the convoy arrived at the pier of Fort Park, Li Mu noticed that there were more than a dozen homeless people outside the pier, their ragged clothes and their bodies were haggard, and several people were standing there staggering, looking extremely embarrassed.
Relatively speaking, they are already the lucky ones, in the past winter, at least 2,000 people in New York froze to death, especially during the snow storm some time ago, hundreds of people froze to death every day, these homeless people can survive this winter, but if no one helps, it is estimated that they will not survive the next winter.
"Contact Edward, and ask him if he has any plans for these homeless people." Li Mu is a little worried, every homeless person is a potential hidden danger, when they are cornered, they are likely to take risks, no matter what, Li Mu hopes that New York is a beautiful city, which has nothing to do with Li Mu's race.
"Okay, Mr. Mayor will be ecstatic." Yan Shun knew what the meaning of this was, for Li Mu, it might just be a gesture, but for Edward, it meant a lot.
It was really significant, and after knowing Li Mu's intentions, New York Mayor Edward Jeffrey rushed to Governors Island as soon as possible.
"Hey Reem, do you really want to help the homeless?" Edward didn't believe that Li Mu had such a good intention, this is not to blame Edward, but to blame Li Mu's reputation is really not good, yes, Li Mu can be called a philanthropist to Chinese Americans, but at the same time, Li Mu's kindness is limited to the Chinese community and has never spread.
"Why not? Look at those homeless homeless people, they are indeed pitiful, and at the same time they are also a huge social hazard, maybe one day, they will become criminals, or become stiff corpses, even if they live, they will affect the appearance of the city, I think we should do something, this country is everywhere to affirm, this part of the resources should not be wasted. Perhaps because of having a child, Li Mu felt that he should do something, just to accumulate virtue for his child, on the other hand, this can also win more goodwill for Junma Group, and he will not lose money no matter what.
The United States is a country of immigrants, and many people have indeed been reborn in this magical land of the United States, Li Mu is one of the representatives, but not everyone is as lucky as Li Mu, this society is always the majority of people who have no money, and some people are so unlucky, which has little to do with their own ability.
As for laziness, there are few factors in this regard, although in the 21st century it is true that many beggars regard this as a profession, but in the United States at this time, most people may not believe it, there are really few such people, almost no one will take advantage of the sympathy of others for profit, on the one hand, because the Americans in this era are not rich, and do not have the habit of giving at will, on the other hand, it is also their own reasons, if they must wander, or are willing to wander, then they will not cross the ocean to the United States, Europe in this era was richer than the United States.
"What are you going to do?" Edward was not stunned by Li Mu's words, compared with flowery language, Edward valued Li Mu's actions more, and politicians were very realistic.
"Gather them together and see what they can do, give them a job, if they don't have survival skills, then send someone to teach them, if they can't learn, then the simplest manual labor is always fine, if they don't even want it, then I don't think they need to live." Li Mu can't understand those who make a living by begging, if it's physical reasons or because of age factors, it's understandable that they can't do anything, the problem is that some people can rely on labor to support themselves, but they use this way to shamelessly demand, in Li Mu's opinion, this kind of person is better than dead, at least, death will not disgust people.
From the perspective of the 21st century, this statement is a bit extreme, without the slightest humanistic care, but Li Mu believes that it is not his fault, and some people are not worthy of pity at all.
"We have also thought about it this way, but there are two problems, one is the cost, the other is the job opportunity, and in the end, it's a pity-" Edward spread his hands and expressed helplessness, Li Mu could see that the homeless man was a hidden danger, and of course Edward could see it, but Edward was not capable of solving this problem.
Well, these two problems are not a problem here for Li Mu, yes, Li Mu has money, a lot of money, there is no problem with paying for these expenses, the second aspect is that Li Mu has a lot of enterprises under him, which needs a lot of workers, and even the Junma Group originally had a relevant technical school to train the workers needed by the Junma Group.
"Well, I can solve both of these problems, since I took the initiative to mention this problem to you, then I must have the idea of solving the problem as well, now the only question is, if I do this, what good will it do me?" Li Mu is straightforward, don't say anything about social responsibility at this time, the real benefits are serious, Li Mu is not willing to study in the United States.
"Benefits-" Edward had a little headache, this matter is a bit troublesome, if you give less, I'm afraid Li Mu won't like it, if you give too much, then it might as well let those homeless people fend for themselves.
The key question was brought up by Li Mu on his own initiative, but now it seems that he wants Edward to take the initiative to deliver the benefits to the door, this operation is a bit too shameless.
"Yes, I need enough motivation, so many homeless people are a big problem, the point is that there will continue to be homeless people." If New York becomes a city without homeless people, it must be a huge political achievement for Edward, Li Mu believes that Edward understands this, and of course it is natural to pay more for it.
"As the largest enterprise in New York, of course, the city government will spare no effort to support the ZAMA Group, let me think about it - this is good, no matter how much the ZAMA Group spends on this matter, the city government pays for it, and we can use the ZAMA Group's tax offset." Edward quickly found a solution.
Yes, it's a tax deduction, this scheme has the best of both worlds, the Kufner Group will get a wave of praise, and there will be no additional cost for it, Edward and the city will win a huge reputation, although the price is that the tax will be reduced, but this is New York, does it matter if the tax is a little more or less?
It's not a matter of life and death.
"It's settled, I think New York will soon become a city without homeless people, and Time Magazine must be very interested in this news." Li Mu quietly gave another promise, if he has done good deeds in these years, he will publicize it, and it is not okay to secretly write it down in his diary, a capitalist country is so vain.
"Happy working together Reem, I think we should strengthen cooperation in this area in order to build a more beautiful New York." Edward is also very happy, anyway, he is pretending to be a good person with government things, and others want to pretend, but they may not have this opportunity.
At least Arthur didn't, Li Mu still remembers that when Arthur first took office, he didn't catch his breath for several years in the face of a mess left by Tweed, and now the economic situation of the New York City government has finally improved a little, but it is Edward's turn to pick peaches, which is really infuriating.
With the dual guarantee of the Stallion Group and the New York City Government, once the efficiency is fast, the New York City Government in the shortest possible time to urge the parliament to pass the decision to establish the shelter, the shelter is located in the lower city of Brooklyn, where there is a huge wasteland, and then there will be the engineers of the Stallion Construction Group and some construction workers to move in, they will carry out the preliminary construction of the shelter, and in the later stage, the engineers of the Horse Group will guide the homeless people to gradually improve the shelter.
At the same time, the Junma Group will set up a technical school in the shelter, the technical school is committed to training those homeless people into qualified industrial workers, if they really don't have this talent, Junma Group will not give up on them, just like Li Mu said, can't learn technology can also engage in simple manual labor, if even this is not willing, those homeless people can also join the Springfield Security Company to become a man in black, or join Panama, the Bahamas, the Far East and other companies to become a mercenary, If you don't even accept this last option, well, then there is really no need to live.
As Li Mu expected, when Time magazine began to report on this matter, the Horse Group and the New York City Government have received great honors, inadvertently, the Horse Group has become a very socially responsible enterprise, which is not available to several other large enterprises such as Standard Oil and Carnegie Riem Steel, for Rockefeller and Carnegie they are still in the original accumulation stage at this point in time, at least after a few more decades, It would be Rockefeller and Carnegie who turned their attention to philanthropy.
Compared with the Kufma Group, the New York City government has received more praise, before that, the mention of New York, people have the impression of a developed financial industry and busy shipping, it is a paradise for capital, a capitalist's back garden, but it has never been a human city.
The retraining of the homeless directly distinguishes the New York City government from any other city government in the world, and even in the world, only New York City will face the homeless and not see them as a burden to the city.
Sounds really good.
