Chapter 519: Never Give In

Of course, this kind of thing can't be said directly to the people, otherwise it will only double the anger on them, so Roland fell into thought: if he was Lyubov Yanbo, how should he deal with this public relations crisis? What angle should we start to solve the dilemma, and persuade the people to calm down in a simple way, and understand that the development of the airship industry is very beneficial to their daily life at the moment.

Don't mention what "long-term", what "long-term", what "big chess", you are useless to the common people to talk about these birds! What people want is now, now, and tangible benefits!

The truth is so simple, but the actual operation is very difficult, Roland thought hard for a long time and did not find the ideal entry point, couldn't help sighing, admitting that he was still not down-to-earth enough, decided to go to the airship company after breakfast, and tried to communicate face-to-face with Sukhoi and other R&D personnel, in-depth understanding of their ideas about airships, hoping to break the predicament and discover "the stories that ordinary people love to hear".

Picking up the last omelet on his plate and chewing it in his mouth, Roland looked down and re-read Maximian's statement in the newspaper, shaking his head and laughing.

"Pirate Duke" Maximian emphatically stressed: Over the years, the authorities of the Giant Demon Island have made countless efforts to maintain peace in the North Bay, and they must not tolerate individual ambitious guys and insatiable profiteers to destroy the excellent situation of peace and stability and bring about a bad social atmosphere, and the authorities of Baiou Port must immediately stop all research and development work on the airship project, and hand over the completed products, technical data and main research and development personnel to the Giant Demon Island for storage and safekeeping, and promise not to engage in such selfish acts that run counter to the interests of the vast number of shipping practitioners in the North Bay in the future. Otherwise, the Giant Demon Island is obliged to respond to the public's call for sanctions against Baiou Harbor: from the date of this notice, until the Baiou Harbor authorities make a change, ships registered in Baiou Harbor are not allowed to pass through the "Bagel Strait", which is hereby announced!

"Bad social climate?"

Can you believe that this came out of the mouth of a pirate? Roland dropped the newspaper and couldn't laugh or cry.

Tapping his fingers lightly on his forehead, he couldn't help but worry about Lyubov: "A wave of unsettled waves has risen again and again...... Poor Lyuba, this is going to have an even bigger headache. ”

Geert Palace Town Hall.

Lyubov sat in his chair, his elbows propped up on the table, his thumb rubbing his temples vigorously, but the headache was difficult to relieve, and his beautiful face could not hide his haggardness.

Kun Tiliang, a white-haired old gentleman and lobbyist, sat cross-legged on the soft sofa across from his desk, lit the third bucket of tobacco this morning, took a deep breath, and the wrinkles on his face immediately stretched out, revealing a pleasant smile.

"Dear lady, you don't mind if I smoke here, do you?"

"In fact, I don't like the smell of tobacco, just as I hate pirate lobbyists."

Kun Tiliang let out a mouthful of light blue mist, and said indifferently: "It's a pity, there will always be such and such unsatisfactory things in life, as an elder, I need to tell you a little life experience: political leaders must not care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and the temporary retreat is to make great strides forward in the future." ”

"By 'retreating', are you wagging your tail at the pirates?" Lyubov asked coldly.

Unsurprised by her fierce reaction, Kuntiliang said calmly: "Madam, please listen to me, Kraken's instructing Maximian to make that outrageous statement is in fact nothing more than a tough gesture to obtain favorable conditions for subsequent negotiations. ”

"Negotiations?" Lyubov frowned, "Let's be honest, what exactly does the Giant Demon Island want?" ”

"Fifty percent of the shares of the airship company, as well as sharing all the technical information." Kun Tiliang held the sepiolite pipe and said slowly, "If you accept this condition, the blockade of the Bagel Strait will be lifted immediately. ”

"Including the embargo on Kitland City as well?"

"That's another matter," Quint smiled, "but if you're willing to abandon the airship development plan altogether and transfer the airship company directly to the Giant Demon Island, I'd be happy to negotiate with Maximian for you, and I'm sure you can convince him to relax the embargo, after all, Kitland is also a very important customer to us in Port Gulls, and Kraken can retaliate against them in other ways without implicating us." ”

"No need!" Lyubov said flatly, "You have a message to the group of pirates on the Giant Demon Island, I, Lyubov Yangbo, will not give in, if they do not retract those non-points, I will not hesitate to fight!" ”

Kun Tiliang clenched his pipe tightly and smiled: "Madam, are you serious?" For the sake of a group of strangers, for the sake of an airship company, you want to gamble on the fate of your compatriots in the city and start a war with the Giant Demon Island? ”

"Kuntiliang, you are wrong, I am not a foreigner defending Kitland, but a commercial credibility that we are proud of in Baigull Harbor! I am not defending a company that develops airships, but defending the future development path of Baiou Port and the dignity of our Yangbo family! ”

Liu Bofu stood up with his hands on the table, his slender body was as tall and majestic as a giant, and asked Kun Tiliang word by word: "What do you think this place is?" This is White Ou Harbor, the free trade city-state of the North Bay! Free trade means that anyone can trade fairly in the city, and if we abandon the principle of free trade in the face of pirates, today we betray the Kitlanders, and tomorrow all our partners will betray us! ”

"Ma'am, allow me to point out your mistake!" Kun Tiliang also couldn't hold back his excitement and stood up, like an old lion glaring at Liu Bofu, "When you defend your credibility and freedom, have you ever thought about what this will bring to the people of the city? Have you ever considered how much sacrifice this will cause? Why do you have to choose war when there is an option for peace? ”

"Fight like a man, or wag your tail like a dog, do you think the latter is better?" Lyubov sneered, "If you really think so, it means that you have lived too long and your blood is already cold." ”

Kun Tiliang held back his anger and shook his head: "I don't think the people will approve of your decision to go your own way, especially when they understand that the airship company will threaten the work of the seafarers, do you know how many people are begging for a living at sea in Baiou Harbor?" How many families depend on the shipping industry for their survival? Believe me, ma'am, the people will not be on your side this time! ”

"Not necessarily!" Lyubov crossed his arms in front of his chest and said calmly and confidently: "In fact, airships do not threaten those who eat by the sea. ”

"Maybe not now, but what about five years from now, ten years from now?" Kun Tiliang didn't give an inch.

"At that time, all seafarers will have an annuity, which the unemployed can rely on to make ends meet and choose a new job, and the elderly can choose to retire and live the rest of their lives in peace."

"Joke! Where does this money come from? Providing unemployment and retirement benefits to tens of thousands of seafarers, you are either naΓ―ve or intent on bankrupting the city-state's finances! ”

Lyubov didn't talk nonsense, opened the desk drawer, took out a stack of papers, and threw it on the table.

"It's all here, see for yourself!" (To be continued.) )
