Chapter 168: The Mayors' Thoughts
"We are going to shoot a video about the habits of animals in Western Sahara, which I think should be very promising in the future."
The mayor's words really impressed Joseph, you must know that the future animal show is quite popular, if there are people engaged in this in the town, then I believe that a lot of remuneration will be obtained.
"The idea is good, but the security aspect is ......"
"We live here all year round, and we still have a certain understanding of the basic customs of these animals, and there is not much risk in terms of safety."
Nodding Joseph didn't say much, after all, the mayor of the town had already said this, Joseph couldn't discourage people's enthusiasm, according to some things he had seen and heard in his previous life, Joseph put forward his own ideas, and these ideas benefited the mayor a lot.
At noon, the mayor invited Joseph to dinner, but it was not okay to refuse, because it was a basic disrespect, and in desperation, Joseph could only agree, and the guards were a little nervous and wanted to search, but when Joseph waved their hands, they had to give up!
Joseph and the guards' small actions naturally could not be concealed from the mayor of the town, but he could understand that after all, what is Joseph's identity, if he eats other people's things at will, he may not be able to live today, and at the same time, the invitation just now is just a hopeless temptation, who would have thought that Joseph would really agree.
Oasis towns are basically poor, especially these newly built towns in the middle, even the mayor's family is a poor mess, three small houses, a few sets of old furniture, this is the mayor's home.
Naturally, the invitation to Joseph can't be simple, hesitate to let the mayor let his wife kill the captive chickens, it can't be without meat!
The mayor's house is a traditional local style, and the man says the same, even if the wife is not satisfied, but what is rare is that she actually does it without saying a word, without the slightest argument and noise.
After all, Joseph was not a prince and nobleman who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, and he understood the suffering of ordinary citizens, and he waved his hand to stop the behavior of the mayor's wife, and beckoned the guards to prepare lunch.
"In fact, you can start a media company that specializes in filming the habits of animals, and then cooperate with TV stations such as Nord and Laayoune to take a proportional commission."
Joseph's proposal was naturally thought about by the mayor, but he had some doubts: "Will the TV station agree to do this?" After all, we don't have any reputation......"
"What TV stations only look at is quality, as long as the quality is good and praised by the audience, then where is the reason for the TV station to refuse?"
The mayor thought about it, and it was true, what the TV station wanted was ratings, although the other party would definitely lower the price, but as long as he was confident in the video he shot, he might not refuse to bet with the TV station.
The guard happened to return, with a bottle of red wine and some scattered Italian and French delicacies in front of him, not to mention the mayor of the town, even Joseph wondered where these foods came from.
The newly built but somewhat empty room with these exquisite delicacies has a strange feeling no matter how you look at it, especially the contrast between the old table top and the delicate red wine glasses.
If you come and go with me for a few drinks at will, the mayor will be a little confused, and people will become more bold when they drink, and what they say at this time is also much true, which is also Joseph's purpose.
The mayor didn't know that the few glasses of wine he had just drunk were worth hundreds of euros, or he would have been distressed to death, considering that a few months ago he was busy and running around for thirty euros.
"I'm not actually qualified to be the mayor of the town, I was just a small leader when the organization still existed, although I had some influence, but I was by no means what I was now."
"But the Nord cabinet has finally appointed you as mayor of the town, and you should take on that responsibility."
Most of the mayors of these newly built towns have some management skills, and they are warlords and mercenaries, but they also have one thing in common, that is, they have some influence and are all civilians.
They were different from the mayors of northern Western Sahara, who were chieftains, and their inhabitants were former subjects who had considerable influence in their own right.
These newly built towns are different, first of all, the problem of residents, these residents have been broken up and regrouped, and there are even a large number of enemies living together, such chaos is a great test of the mayor's ability.
Although it is a civilian background, the mayors of the town are often very decisive in doing things, such as here, but the rest of the month has been reintegrated, although there are still contradictions, but it has basically subsided......
These mayors were very worried, after all, they were not ordinary people, their companions and friends were all executed by the Nord military, they naturally had no revenge, but they couldn't help but be afraid that one day a knife would suddenly be placed on their neck, or a rope would hang their neck.
Why didn't the Duchy of Nord arrange for the mayor of the town to enable the natives instead? Could it be that Nord has no managers? Not really, but there are other hidden secrets inside.
There is no doubt that Mayor Nord has a lot of authority, so the position of mayor is crucial. There are many Nords who use their abilities, but very few can be recognized by the native residents of Western Sahara, and at least they need a transition.
Joseph wanted to make each oasis town financially independent and even self-sufficient in a short period of time, which was difficult to do. In such a situation, if two more mayors who are not familiar with the local area and cannot be recognized are arranged, then wouldn't it be a mess?
Maybe they were given time to sort out, but what Joseph lacked was time, and before the collapse of the Soviet Union, he had to make sure that the province of Western Sahara would not pull him back.
Not easy!
This was the assessment that James gave after learning about Joseph's plan, and Joseph certainly understood that it would not be easy, but even so he had to do it because the collapse of the Soviet Union was the reason he had to do so.
"There is no problem with your safety, and there will be no problem with your position in a short period of time."
If there is anyone in the Principality of Nord who can calm down these mayors from civilian armed groups, it is only Joseph, not even Prime Minister James.
There is no problem with security, which the mayor of the town has already satisfied, as for the position? From the very beginning, it was a time bomb, and every moment made the mayors feel at ease, if not afraid, it is estimated that they would have the heart to resign.
It's not that the position of mayor is not tempting for them, but they don't dare to ask for it anymore because they are weak-minded, and they give something unexpected and beyond their ability, which in itself is enough to make people afraid and afraid.
It's like going out and suddenly picking up a million euros, if it is a multimillionaire, then he may return it, but once he stays, then he can spend it with peace of mind, and ordinary people can't do it at this time. When an average person picks up a million euros, he will be terrified, and then he will live with fear in his joy, and it is even possible that he will not dare to spend the million euros in the end.
