444 Headache

Even if it doesn't give face to Time Magazine, Junma Group still has to give face; Even if he doesn't give Will face, Li Mu's face still has to be given.

So Will was patient when answering Gloria's question.

"-Accounts disclosure is a new initiative of our New York City Government, everyone should know that in recent times, there have been many opinions on the government, please believe that the Republican Party is a political party that really thinks about the United States, and no matter what we do, we will definitely take the premise of safeguarding the interests of the United States-" Arthur is now very good at singing high-pitched, and his words are very high-sounding, this is an opportunity to fight for the Republican Party, Arthur will definitely not let it go:" - Please rest assured, our New York City Government will definitely accept everyone's supervision, The disclosure of the accounts of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence is only the first step, I believe that this is not the only one, there will be more accounts in the future, everyone will know where every penny they pay is spent, no one can casually embezzle the taxes paid by everyone, I can guarantee here, if anyone dares to embezzle even a penny, the New York City government will definitely pursue it to the end. ”

Arthur's attitude is very resolute, this kind of thing, either don't do it, if you want to do it, you have to do it so that people can't find fault with it, and it will only hurt the credibility of the government, which Li Mu has analyzed very clearly to Arthur.

After Arthur finished answering, more arms were raised, and the reporters were a little excited, today's "account disclosure" of the New York City government is the first public account in the United States, and New Yorkers are particularly sensitive to the word "first".

"Second question, Mr. Taylor Palmer—" Frank continued by name, this time with Tyler Palmer's luck.

"I would like to ask Mr. Mayor, does the disclosure of the accounts of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence mean that there is a problem with the previous accounts, or is it directed at certain people?" Taylor Palmer's question is poignant.

Journalists, they are all guys who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, they are afraid that they won't get big news, as for what kind of impact these news will cause, I'm sorry, this is not in their consideration.

Taylor Palmer's question is clearly pointed, and the so-called "certain people" are naturally those who were in charge of the Centennial Exhibition of Independence in Philadelphia before.

After Congress decided to hand over the Centennial of Independence to New York, Philadelphia was a mess.

There is no way, I really can't explain it, it took two years in Philadelphia, countless bonds and stocks were issued, and more than three million dollars have been spent on the books, but the problem is that no effect has been seen, and even Philadelphia has not even determined the land for the main exhibition hall, so where the more than three million dollars are spent has become something that everyone wants to know.

Philadelphia now holds the Centennial Independence Fair in New York, but Fatty City has a demand that New York be responsible for Philadelphia's debts related to the Centennial Independence Fair.

The New York City Government will definitely not accept this, more than three million is not a small number, the budget of the New York City Government for the main exhibition hall of the Independence Centennial Exhibition is so much, although the New York City Government is financially adequate, but Arthur does not want to give Philadelphia even a penny.

But there are some things that can be done, but not said, so Arthur answered Taylor Palmer's question with a serious expression: "No, our public accounts have nothing to do with anyone else, this is just an experiment, an attempt, if it proves to work, maybe we will promote it to other departments, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”

Well, politicians have a special talent for staring and telling nonsense, and Arthur is now a qualified politician, so Arthur's ability to stare and tell nonsense is not bad.

"Third question—" Frank's eyes swept over Horace Greeley's face, as if he hadn't seen Horace Greeley's expectant look, and casually clicked on a reporter.

"Damn, aren't we at the New York Tribune qualified to get a chance to ask a question?" Horace Greeley burst out.

It's really difficult, Horace Greeley is Grant's political enemy, so Horace Greeley has been targeting Grant, which everyone knows, especially after Horace Greeley's election defeat, the New York Tribune began to be suppressed by the New York City government, intentionally or unintentionally, and the press conference did not give a chance to ask questions is only one aspone, in fact, if it weren't for Horace Greeley's qualifications being old enough, Horace Greeley would not have known that today's Independence Centennial Exhibition would hold a press conference.

If it were the old days, maybe Horace Greeley wouldn't have exploded, because Horace Greeley was used to this kind of treatment.

But today's situation is special, before the press conference began, Horace Greeley and Gloria clashed, in the question session, Horace Greeley could not compete with Gloria, which Horace Greeley knew very well, but now even Taylor Palmer could not compete, and lost to an unknown reporter of an unknown tabloid, which made Horace Greeley really angry.

"Mr. Horace, please follow the order of the press conference." Frank doesn't give Horace Greeley a good look, in fact, Frank doesn't want to see Horace Greeley, as long as Horace Greeley appears, there is always trouble.

"I've been following the rules, I've been following the rules, but look at what you've done, I've been to more than a dozen press conferences held by the city in a row, but I haven't gotten even a chance to ask questions, so I'd like to ask Mr. Mayor if we at the New York Tribune won't have a chance to ask questions in the future, and if so, then we at the New York Tribune won't be at the press conferences held by the city in the future." Horace Greeley was foaming at the mouth, still looking for supporters as he spoke.

Horace Greeley immediately resonated with some reporters that the New York City government has its own established procedure for holding a press conference, and generally speaking, when it comes to the question session, the moderator will only answer three questions, and then the press conference will end.

Of the three issues, Time will undoubtedly occupy one, and then the reporters of the other newspapers will compete for the remaining two, so that the chances will certainly be much smaller, so Horace Greeley is not the only one who has a grudge.

"Mr. Horace Greeley, there are 26 newspapers in New York, and there are only three opportunities to ask questions at each press conference, so it's normal for the New York Tribune not to get a chance, and I believe that you are not the only one who does not get the opportunity to ask questions, there are people like you." Frank is not prepared to correct it, in other areas, Frank can't do anything with Horace Greeley, but the press conference is Frank's turf, so Horace Greeley will definitely not get a chance, it is like this now, and it will be like this in the future.

In fact, strictly speaking, New York is not only the financial center of the United States, but also the cultural center of the United States, which is known from the number of newspapers in New York, which alone has more newspapers than all other states in New England combined.

So with so many journalists, it really takes a bit of luck to get a chance to ask questions.

"The problem is that some people get the opportunity to speak every time—" Horace Greeley did not hesitate, and immediately turned the conversation to Gloria.

"Mr. Horace Greeley, be careful with your words, it's not up to you to decide who gets the opportunity to ask questions, so please follow the press conference order." Frank reminded again, a little impatient in his tone.

"But when you decide to make your accounts public, aren't you pursuing openness and fairness? So what about your justice in this matter? What about your fairness? Horace Greeley clung to that.

"On this subject, Mr. Horace Greeley, I regret to inform you that as long as your New York Tribune does not sell as well as Time Magazine, you will not get the opportunity to ask questions—" Frank looked a little playfully, and looked at Horace Greeley closer to death in provocation and mockery.

This makes sense, you see that the New York City government is not partial to anyone, but as the newspaper with the largest circulation in New York, Time Magazine should indeed use some privileges.

According to Arthur, if the New York Tribune outsells Time magazine, then Arthur will transfer Gloria's privileges to Horace Greeley.

Can the New York Tribune compete with Time Magazine?

Even the most optimistic people would not dare to pack a ticket on this matter, so Horace Greeley will never get a chance to ask questions.

Frank's explanation was very direct and shameless, and Horace Greeley, no matter how thick-skinned he was, was embarrassed to continue to dwell on this matter, so the press conference continued.

It was only at the end of the press conference that Arthur found an opportunity to order Frank: "Find a chance, I want to give this traitor a taste of betrayal." ”

For people like Horace Greeley, Arthur has always been polite, blaming Horace Greeley's resume is too exciting, no matter who sees it, they don't know what to say.

"Mr. Mayor, I'm afraid this is not good, but Horace Greeley is a man who has run for president, and you should not ignore his influence." Frank had concerns and didn't dare to attack Horace Greeley.

Threatening a presidential candidate, even a predecessor, is a serious political problem, and Frank is not as unscrupulous as Arthur, so it is better to be careful in what you do.

"I didn't ask you to kill him, I just asked you to figure out a way, like buy that damn New York Tribune—" Frank didn't grasp what Arthur meant, and Arthur said he had a headache.
