Chapter 121 Municipal Government
Chapter 121 The meeting of the municipal axe was not too long, it was over in more than half an hour, after Balotelli and the others left, Yin Hang himself was in the house, and began to practice the gun drawing technique that he did every day, and at about ten o'clock in the evening, he washed up and began to sleep.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, Yin Hang specially entertained Wilges, Newman, and Vincent to come over for breakfast, these people arrived in Berkeley City yesterday, but considering their fatigue, Yin Hang arranged for them to go directly to rest, and did not talk to them.
Now after a night's rest, it feels like they should have almost recovered, so Yin Hang will gather them.
Next to the kitchen on the lower floor of the small building, there was a small dining room, and everyone was sitting at the long table, feasting. Vincent, in particular, seemed to be hungry all night. A large piece of fried pork chop was eaten by him in two bites of three.
After eating, Wilges seemed to be a little worried and said, "Mr. Eastwood, the security in Berkeley seems to be very bad!" ”。
Newman also nodded on the side and echoed: "Yes, when we came yesterday, we heard a lot of talk along the way, what Azucca died, what kind of fight and so on!" ”。
Vincent and the two men he brought were also looking at Yin Hang.
The latter smiled and said, "It'll be fine, I promise!" ”。
Wilges, Newman and the others glanced at each other and said, "Okay, today Newman and I will start the site selection of Citibank's branch!" ”。
Yin Hang let out a "hmm" and said, "Don't worry, you just go, I promise you won't run into any trouble." If someone has friction with you, you just have to say that you are the Western Railroad and you'll be fine. ”
Seeing that Yin Hang was very sure, Wilgis and Newman were also relieved a lot, and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?" I mean the location where the bank was built. ”
Yin Hang said: "In fact, I already have some plans"; Turning his head, he said, "Dale, is the map on you?" ”。
"Yes, boss!" Dale reached out and took out the map of Berkeley and placed it in front of Yin Hang's desk.
Yin Hang looked down, then pointed somewhere, drew circles with his fingers, and said: "Near the city center, the Kaiyue residential area will soon be moved, we can build Citibank here, and this residential area is big enough." After all the demolition is completed, the Huaxia Gaming Hotel, the Hippodrome, the High Street, Citibank, and some reserved land will be built here, which will become the real downtown of Berkeley! ”。
Wilges, Newman, Vincent and the others leaned their heads over and watched together. I heard Yin Hang continue, and said: "I have invited an architectural planning expert, and I think he has already drawn the preview drawing, and he can bring it when he comes." ”
Wilgis looked at the Kaiyue residential area and said, "This is really a big project, and there is enough space, but will they have people here willing to move?" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Of course!" I've got Rick, oh! It was the same architectural planners who took a piece of land around Berkeley, and were working on a new residential area, a new residential area, with a very large house, and more beautiful than the original, and if they wanted, they could buy more meters for a very low price, and of course, if they could. Why don't you move! ”。
Vincent laughed and said, "Boss, I knew you had a solution." Moreover, it sounds like the location of the Grand Mansion Hotel has become simpler. ”
Yin Hang said: "That's right, that's it, and we will basically do this every time we enter a city in the future." ”
Yin Hang said that these are not groundless, you must know that in the United States, which he knew in his last life, only Las Vegas can legally operate casinos, and now Yin Hang is committed to legalizing gambling in the United States!
At the very least, it must be legal for decades, or hundreds of years, and during this legal time, their income will increase geometrically, and then use a lot of money to quickly buy land, or some industrial companies, and carry out rapid monopoly, even if the anti-monopoly law finally appears, no one can move themselves, because at that time they have already established an empire, and if the political axe dares to move, then the entire American economy will face collapse. Even if they do everything to start anew, their empire will definitely be fine, because they pay attention to the dual-line development of industry and money, and they have industry and hard goods in their hands! No matter how much the economy collapses, it can't shake itself!
Yin Hang is also very far-sighted, with money, and cooperate with the political axe, then the political axe will not dare to move himself, and with money, a large number of politicians will be controlled by himself, and as long as his descendants continue to operate in this mode, then his Eastwood family empire will never decline. Unless there is a person at the helm who is too brainless in a certain generation!
But now, Yin Hang still needs to do it step by step, you can't rely on fantasy to do things, but you can set a goal, and then what you need to do is very simple - down-to-earth towards the goal.
After finishing his business, Yin Hang turned his head and asked, "Vincent, how is Mona now, I mean the discovery of pregnancy." ”
Vincent smiled and said, "Mona is such a hard-working person, she only found out that she was pregnant after you came here, and old Donovan complained that you were not by her side!" ”。
Yin Hang nodded with a smile and said, "Once the matter here is over, I will go back to Rock Town to have a look first." ”
Vincent said, "That's right, you should go back and have a look." ”
"Is she resting now?" Yin Hang asked.
"I don't know, but with Douglas helping her, I don't think it would be too hard for her." Vincent said.
In fact, Yin Hang is a little unable to sit still now, but the matter in Berkeley has not yet come to fruition, at least until the construction of the new residential area begins.
As for the Aimar gang, it's not much for now, because the railroad line from here to Sacramento will take a long time to complete. When I'm done with Mona, it's not too late to get back to dealing with Aimar.
Xin said: "Otherwise, I will go out again and sneak directly to Los Angeles and assassinate Aimar!" ”。 However, Yin Hang dispelled this idea for the time being, even if he really wanted to assassinate Aimar, he had to wait for Mona to say it.
Yin Hang said: "Let's go, I'll accompany you to have a look." ”
"Are you going too? Boss! ”。 Vincent said.
"I'm going to meet the mayor, and we're on our way." Yin Hang said.
Several people came out of the apartment and went to the courtyard of the Western Railroad, where there were three troikas, which Yin Hang had recently bought, and after each getting into a carriage, they went out of the company's gate and headed for downtown Berkeley.
Half an hour later, Yin Hang and the others had already stopped in front of the political axe building in the city center, and after Yin Hang got out of the car, he waved his hand at the other two carriages.
After stopping, Yin Hang said to Vincent and Wilges: "I'll go to the municipal axe first, talk to the mayor about something, you can go to the Kaiyue residential area to see the situation first, and when you're done, you can also walk around elsewhere, remember, Berkeley City has just stabilized, so if you run into trouble, don't forget what I said before!" ”。
Vincent said, "No problem, just say we're the Western Railroad." ”
Yin Hang nodded with a smile and told them to get into the car, watching the two carriages leave their sight.
He turned his head and said, "Let's go, Dale, let's go to Mayor Wawen." ”
Berkeley's Municipal Axe, a three-story building, is much better than the average for the entire city of Berkeley. In the middle of the third floor there is a horizontal flagpole with a Star-Spangled Banner floating on it. There are three steps in front of the door. It wasn't the first time Yin Hang had come here, but he was only passing by here a few days ago, and this was the first time he wanted to enter it.
The two of them entered through the open door and found that the first floor was an office hall open to residents for various departments, probably because breakfast had just passed, so at this time, there were not many people inside!
Yin Hang stopped an old gentleman-looking person at the door and asked, "I made an appointment with Mayor Wei Wen, how can I find him?" ”。
The old gentleman looked at Yin Hang and Dale standing next to him and asked, "Who are you?" ”。
Yin Hang said: "I'm Eastwood of the Western Railroad, and this is my assistant. ”
The old gentleman turned his head and said in a loud voice: "Alex, come here, there are two people from the Western Railroad Company, saying that they have made an appointment to meet Mayor Waven." ”
Yin Hang followed the sound and saw a young man in his thirties, wearing a light-colored suit, walking over and saying, "Thank you Murphy, I'm here to entertain them." ”
The old gentleman said, "Okay," and then nodded to Yin Hang and Dale, and turned around to go about himself.
The young man looked at Yin Hang, smiled, and said, "I know you, you're Mr. Clint #Eastwood!" ”
After Alex finished speaking, he saw that Yin Hang was looking at himself, and said, "A few days ago, I also went to the party held by the Western Railroad, but I met Mr. Eastwood from a distance, and you seemed to be talking to Mayor Waven at that time. ”
Yin Hang showed a clear expression and said, "Ah! I see, I'm sorry for you, Alex. ”
"It's not a hassle at all, I'm Mayor Wewen's assistant, the latest administrative secretary to become popular," said Alex. ”
Yin Hang smiled: "That's a career with a very good future. ”
As several people talked, they walked upstairs, and Alex said, "You think so, too? Hehe! You know, my father, who is a bit stubborn, thinks it's similar to a waiter in a hotel. ”
"Hey, hey!" Yin Hang felt that this Alex was very good at talking, which made people feel that there was no separation, and said with a smile: "Your father just doesn't understand!" ”。
Alex also smiled and said, "That's right, now he doesn't think I'm a waiter at the hotel anymore." Thank God! ”。
When the three of them came upstairs, because of the leadership of Alex, the two strong guards in the corridor on the third floor did not stop them.
Led everyone to a door, Alex turned his head and said, "That's it, please wait a minute." As he spoke, he knocked on the door with his hand.
"Dangdang!" After three sounds, Mayor Waven's voice came from inside, "Come in!" ”。
Alex walked in first and said, "Mr. Mayor, Mr. Eastwood of the Western Railroad wants to see you, and I brought him in directly." With that, he turned sideways and let go of Yin Hang and Dale behind him.
"Hah"! As soon as Mayor Wei Wen saw Yin Hang, he came out from behind his desk and said, "Welcome! Mr. Eastwood! What to drink? Wine? Whiskey? ”。
Yin Hang smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Mayor, let's have a glass of wine." ”
"No problem!" Wei Wen personally took out a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet next to him, and then took out a few more glasses, and said while pouring the wine: "French goods!" Hehe! But I can't tell if it's good or bad! ”!
With that, he handed the wine glass to Yin Hang and Dale.
"Mr. Mayor, if you don't have any orders, I'll go down first." Alex said.
"Okay! Alex, go get busy! Wei Wen said back behind his desk.
Alex nodded to a few of the people and closed the door as he went out.
"Tell me, Mr. Eastwood, are you here to visit the Political Axe Building?" Wei Wen said in a joking tone.
Yin Hang took a sip of wine with a smile and said, "Just by the way, I just want to visit by the way, mainly to talk about something with Mr. Mayor." ”
"Oh!" Wei Wen said: "No problem, we are friends!" ”
"That's right!" Yin Hang said: "It's about the union. ”
Wei Wen asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Yin Hang said: "Ransbolton is going to run for the next mayor, but I'm not here to talk about it!" ”。
Wei Wen raised his eyebrows and said, "I also know this, he has already signed up!" ”。
Yin Hang said: "I'm thinking, if the president of the workers' union really changes jobs, who will take over his original job?" ”。
Wei Wen didn't know what Yin Hang meant, so he replied directly: "They have a vice president!" But Clint, do you want to support him as mayor? ”。
Yin Hang laughed and said, "Of course not, I don't think there is a more suitable candidate to be mayor in Berkeley." ”
It turned out that after the party held by the railway company, Wei Wen and the others went to Yin Hang's apartment to talk about it, and they talked a lot, and they talked for a long time, Berkeley's railroad, commercial streets, residential areas, economic construction, and so on. It's all talked about. One of them is the next election.
Wei Wen didn't look at the white hair, but it wasn't that he was very old, in fact, he was just fifty-two years old and still in the prime of life! At least he can work for three or four terms, Yin Hang heard from his words that he was trying to win over himself to support his candidacy for the next mayor, and Yin Hang immediately said that he would definitely support him.
It is precisely because of these things that Wei Wen is asking like this now.
He saw that Yin Hang was still supporting him, so he put his heart down, he had also investigated the situation of the Western Railway Company, when he knew that Yin Hang was a very rich man, he knew that his opportunity had come, you know, he had only just become a mayor, but the feeling of power was too good, although he did not have the luxury of directly running for the state council in the second term, but being re-elected as a mayor is his first wish now.
How can I be re-elected? The economic construction of the city of Berkeley! To put it bluntly, it's money, whoever is rich, who can be elected successfully!
That's not a lie! For example, the little Rockefeller or the little Morgan in later generations!! People don't want to participate in the election, and if they really want to run for president for fun, then what Bush is, and Clinton's, it's all decoration! People play economic control, and people can almost decide the outcome of the election, so don't look at you as Bush, but without the support of others, no matter how great your personal charm is, you may not be able to be worthy of it!
When Wei Wen heard Yin Hang say this, he knew that he might be thinking badly, so he laughed and said, "Oh? Clint, why are you interested in unions? ”
Yin Hang shook his head and said, "If you're not interested, you can't do it!" We are still short of workers. ”
Wei Wendao: "What's the matter? Doesn't Lansbolton support you? ”。
Yin Hang said: "No, no, no! Wewen, let's not talk about him now, let's just say if! If he is not the president of the union, then who is most likely to be elected, of course, provided that he supports me. ”
Wei Wen's brain was not given for nothing, and he knew that Yin Hang must have some meaning when he asked this, but he didn't ask deeply, but just said directly: "I think Clint, you should support someone, for example, the current vice president Dawson is very good!" ”。
Yin Hang nodded and said, "Dawson? Are you sure he'll support me? ”。
Wei Wen said: "I'm not very sure, but one thing I know is that this Dawson and Lansborne always seem to have some small contradictions!" ”。
"Yes"! Yin Hang nodded secretly, he came here to hear what Wei Wen said, the mayor knows a lot more things than others!
"Thank you"! Yin Hang said: "I didn't come in vain, hehe! ”。
Wei Wen shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, you are always welcome here!" ”。
Yin Hang understands that the workers' union is a workers' organization and speaks for the workers. For example, if you put forward conditions to your company, talk about treatment with the political axe, etc., etc., there will be a trade union to come forward, how much power do you want to say about him? I can't say it! But people have a certain amount of real power, how to say it? If they let all their workers go on strike, then it will be a bit difficult for some companies to do something!
This is the person Yin Hang has always mentioned! Only talent is the foundation of all undertakings!
Yin Hang decided to meet this Dawson, if he could, he could support him to become the president of this union, so that he could completely control all the workers in Berkeley!
