Chapter 589: Outbreak [2]
"Before you came, I was already on the phone with Mr. Doolin!", Selem walked out of the small room next door with a solemn face, and he stood in the side hall, which was filled with the shareholders of the seven casinos in Otis City, as well as members of the Otis City business community, all of whom were strong supporters of Doolin. They exchanged their support for Duhrin for a lot of wealth, and many people's wealth increased several times, or even more than ten times, in the course of a year.
They will not forget Doolin and will not regard Doolin as an enemy, because according to Doolin's plan, their wealth will continue to grow exponentially in the next few years!
Once the Otis City Packing Plan is successfully implemented, their personal wealth will be at least tripled, or even fivefold, which is equivalent to dozens or even hundreds of times their wealth a year ago!
That's not all, with the end of the accident in the eastern canyon, the joint construction works began construction again, and it is expected that the mountain range can be broken through in the middle of this year, and it can be opened to traffic early next year. The last of Otis City's shortcomings will be filled, and a new giant take-off will be ushered in, and their wealth will continue to grow significantly.
Even if it is just a fruit seller, as long as they follow in the footsteps of Du Lin at the first time, I am afraid that they will now have a net worth of hundreds of thousands, not to mention those speculators who have a lot of money themselves and invest all their family property in the local area?
For the sake of profit, the capitalists can trample on the law, and for the sake of tens or hundreds of times the profit, the capitalists dare to kill even God to show you.
Just now, this gentleman and Du Lin talked to each other, the current situation in the city of Otis is very bad, every night there are gunshots and even shootouts, and the guests in the casino can no longer see many people because of the drastic drop in the security environment, so it can be said that there are no guests. The newly formed Otis City Hall, led by Donald, had no better way to deal with this, and the Otis City Chamber of Commerce made suggestions and protested, but they were all pushed back by Mayor Donald.
In the words of Mayor Donald, when the law and order are good, he will take care of other things, and he will definitely return the city of Otis to its original state.
But everyone knows that this is impossible, and what he needs to do now is not to deal with those law and order problems that can never be dealt with cleanly, nor to think about overshadowing Duhring's law with his own governance program and philosophy, but to bow to Duhring. As long as he admits his mistake to Durin and seeks his forgiveness, it only takes a phone call for the city of Otis to return to normal.
But he didn't do that, he seemed to be in a relationship with Doolin, and when he was a councillor, he didn't have any signs of it, and he could only say that power was so tempting that people forgot what they were capable of, and believed that what they saw was what they could control.
The person who spoke is currently one of the directors of the Otis City Business Group, and can also be regarded as one of the largest representatives of capitalists in Otis City, and he has a good relationship with Doolin, and is considered to be the first batch of businessmen who come to invest here according to the corresponding Otis City Investment Plan. For the smuggling miracle created by Durin on the East Coast, he believed that Durin could create another miracle in this desert, when he came here with his more than 4 million family property, he pressed it all, and now he has returned more than 50 million returns, so he called During, and he also believed that only During's law is the best choice for the sustainable development of Otis City.
Selem, the speculative businessman, looked at all the people in the room and whispered, "Mr. Durin told me that he had done what he had to do, and that the next step would be for us to choose!"
"What does this mean?", someone didn't understand the sentence, and immediately stood up and asked, "We have chosen to side with Mr. Doolin, what else do we need to choose?"
Others were ignorant, others were dark-eyed, and they looked at each other and understood what Durin meant from Selem's words.
With Doolin providing direction and doing all the preliminary work done, it was time for them to show their desire to protect their interests, and they needed to show their absolute sincerity and prove that they and Doolin would always stand together.
With them to make money, with them to snatch money from tourists from all over the world, Doolin has done what he has to do and fulfilled his promise to everyone. But if you want the relationship between the two sides to go further, then it is not simply to make your own money, they also need to show their sincerity and show their own position.
How do you show your sincerity?
Get Donald out of office.
Before this, they have always been passive responses, and there is no initiative, to put it simply, that is, Durin has been defending their interests, they are only waiting for the result, without the slightest effort. Any benefit must have a relative pay, and if you want to get something in this world, you must have an equal pay. The harvest is not because these things fell from the sky, but because they were earned by their own efforts.
The atmosphere in the room was a little solemn, and Selem smiled and clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, "I think that during this time, we have not shown the dedication we should make in order to protect our own vital interests, so I have an idea, in the next period of time, we need to take the initiative to show more resistance and determination to the current unreasonable policies of the city hall, only in this way, can we ensure that our interests are always in our wallet!"
"There's a certain amount of risk involved, because it can be very difficult for some of your friends to completely offend the town hall. I'm not going to force anyone to stand with all of us all the time, and if anyone wants to quit, it's too late!"
Celem's words immediately made the cunning and treacherous merchants understand what he meant, which was to make them declare war on the town hall in an all-out way, so as to force Donald to resign and win the war. What else to talk about quitting at this time? Donald himself is obviously unable to protect himself, and if he breaks away from the merchant group, he will definitely become the first batch of "victims" after the results appear. Everyone's silence seemed to unify Selem's proposal, waiting for what Selem had to say next.
He nodded, "Good, I have an idea......"
On the third day, at dawn, Donald was awakened from his sleep by the ringing of the phone, and after more than ten seconds of lifting the phone, he turned and walked to the window and lifted the curtains.
Outside the window, a large number of local citizens and migrant workers from other places held banners and signs, shouted unified slogans, passed by the door of his villa, and a large number of demonstrators gathered in the city hall square not far away. They have only one slogan - give me back my job!
The most important thing in any city is always jobs, and there is no more important political factor than this, even if a place is poor and backward. But as long as there are enough jobs in this place, even if life is very difficult, people will take the initiative to adapt to this life. But if there are not enough jobs, public security, the social environment, the investment environment, and economic construction will all become shit! Those workers who lose their jobs and become irritable will destroy everything they see, and put those in power in great trouble.
Donald threw himself on the bed and sat on the other side, he picked up the phone with beads of sweat on his head, and asked loudly, "What's the matter, why hasn't anyone informed me that they're going to have a parade, and what do the signs these people are holding mean?"
Police Chief Singh said helplessly that these people did not submit any application to the police station for the demonstration, it can be said that their march is completely illegal, but the number of people in the march is so large, their police station has no way to stop the suppression, and it may be too late to apply for the army from the imperial capital warning area.
As for why there was such a marching slogan, Singh could only give a message that sent chills down the shoulders of Donald.
At nine o'clock last night, all the members of the Otis City Business Group, including the seven major casinos, officially announced the indefinite closure of business, on the grounds that Mayor Donald deliberately sabotaged the various relationships that had built a harmonious city and caused social turmoil, which had a great impact, and caused the members of the Otis City Business Group to suffer huge losses. In order to temporarily stop the losses, more than 70 percent of the capitalists in Otis announced the termination of their business activities.
In other words, they don't play anymore.
In an instant, all 270,000 jobs in Otis were lost, replaced by 270,000 "unemployed" people, and this huge resentment formed such a sudden demonstration. Of course, this march can be understood as sudden, after all, it happened suddenly. This is what Donald saw.
He slammed the phone and put on his clothes haphazardly, and went to the study to call the directors of the seven casinos, but no matter who he called, no one answered, as if the calls were empty. It wasn't until he dialed Selem that he breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone answered his call, which meant that there was room for the matter to be mitigated, but even so, he hated these people to the core. After this incident, no matter what he does in the future, he will no longer hold the main position, at most he will be mixed with the kind of empty office without power in the party. This march can be said to have ruined his political career, but if he had done nothing, he might not even have a "ruined political career".
"Celem, why is this happening, why can't we sit down and have a good talk, can we get those people outside back to where they need to go first?", Donald's tone was much softer than the days he had just taken office, and there was even a pleading in his voice.
Selem's voice didn't change, "Dear Mayor Donald, this is not caused by us, you are the one who made it happen. You can't take our advice and hurt the hearts of all of us, and given the trust you have in the members of the Chamber of Commerce, you can say these things to the members of the Chamber of Commerce. I believe that with the competence of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce, they can help you solve your current dilemma. ”
Donald's body trembled slightly, he tried not to let his emotions affect his voice, not to make himself look so helpless, "What can I do to make up for the damage I have done to you?"
