In addition to the problems he is currently facing, Julio has found some other problems, and the capitalists in the west seem to be a little more ...... towards the authorities than the more intimate cooperation between the officials and the capitalists in the southern cities Cold shoulder!

Yes, it's cold. On more than one occasion in yesterday's conversation, Julio threw out the problems raised by Dührin as a topic and asked the capitalists present how to solve them. If it is in a developed city in the south, there will definitely be many capitalists who will stand up and express their willingness to take on these problems and give solutions as soon as possible. The cooperation between the town hall and the capitalists was almost semi-open, and the capitalists were happy to help the town hall solve these problems.

From the point of view of the town hall, many problems can be solved without using a penny of public funds, especially medical care and basic security of citizens' lives, which are the two most profitable areas, but at the same time the two areas in which the most investment can be made. Medical insurance alone may require millions or even tens of millions of funds, and there will be follow-up uninterrupted investment. It is said that medical groups do not recognize people for money, but ignore the inputs and costs and the cost of maintenance.

It takes about three years, or even longer, for a brand new hospital to go from the start of operation to the beginning of its return on investment.

From the businessman's point of view, his upcoming investment in the project is backed by the town hall, and in addition to ensuring the safety of the project, the Reichsbank is also happy to grant loans to such projects. Merchants in the south were more inclined to invest in capital than the somewhat rigid merchants in the north and center of the empire. In layman's terms, merchants in the north will take out real money to do things, and why they do this is actually due to a variety of reasons.

For those merchants with aristocratic backgrounds, there is no need to borrow money from anyone to do business anyway, and their self-esteem and pride do not allow them to say the word "borrow" to others, which will hurt their self-esteem. The same goes for those officials, who are strict and cautious and will never accept any risky investment, even if a project cannot be completed, and will never let the project take risks.

But the environment in the south is different, businessmen are more inclined to the game of capital, and the example of doing things well without spending money on the one hand inspires all businessmen to dream of making a fortune, and on the other hand provides a very perfect template for these businessmen. With the endorsement of the government, merchants can borrow a large amount of money from the Imperial Bank or the Southern Commercial Bank with a contract of intent signed by the city hall, use these funds to develop projects, and finally repay the loan after making a profit, which is the favorite way of southern businessmen.

With the least capital, do the biggest project, this is the method of the capitalists in the south, which is why Henry said to Dühring that the merchants of the south are liars. Because these southerners are always thinking about how to do things without spending money or with less money, it will inevitably make people like Henry, who lack social care, feel cheated.

Julio was a little confused by the collective apathy of the merchants in the West, and was willing to nod his head to anyone who suggested anything that seemed to work. But the question is that no one shows positive desires, is they not interested in these things, or is someone telling them to keep silent? Julio feels that the biggest possibility is the latter, he is an outsider, he has only been here for less than a week, no one knows how far he can go, and naturally he will not blindly bet on himself. He also maintains the mentality of running a city in the south, but ignores the fact that the south and the west have very different economic ecology.

It will take a long process, and only after fully understanding the economic ecology of the west can Julio understand how wrong he is now. Of course, before he could do these things, he had to settle another thing.

Pushing back the blinds and looking at the cowboys and miners with shotguns on their backs outside the town hall, Julio felt a faint sadness in his balls, a little painful. The inhospitability of the West and the abundance of predators in the wild have led to the possession of shotguns in almost every household, which is also specially permitted by the state government. Villages and towns outside of small cities like Turnier are also allowed to form militias and have shotguns to protect people's lives and ...... Property security.

Horse bandits and robbers are also predators, so it's not a strange thing to have a shotgun in a family in the west. But when the crowd marched outside the city hall with guns on their backs, Julio couldn't calm down, he had never seen such a grumpy citizen. Doesn't people say that the folk customs of the west are simple, and why does the simplicity he saw seem to be different from his own understanding of simplicity?

These people all started the march because of the death of Memnon and the arrest of the Move Forward Party, and the Three Guarantees policy has become what people call it "finished" under the promotion of some people's ulterior motives, and no one will continue to be responsible for them, and no one can ensure that the Three Guarantees policy they have purchased can continue to be implemented. This has seriously hurt the feelings of the people in the west and undermined their trust in the government and the implementation of policies, so someone must always take responsibility for this matter.

This responsibility did not belong to Julio, Memnon's death was an "accident", and the killing and arrest of members of the Forward Party organization had nothing to do with Julio, it was a collective extermination operation in the three western states, it can be said that from beginning to end, nothing had anything to do with Julio, but he became the first person to face this matter. Some people say in private that the reason why Memnon is finished is because he is in Julio's way, and who will get the most benefits after Memnon dies?

There is no doubt about it, of course Julio, don't you see that Julio has become the mayor of Vanlier, and under his ass is the chair that Memnon used to sit on, who will trouble him if he doesn't bother him?

Fueled by such rumors, some angry, feeling that they had been deceived and malice, came out of the town hall with shotguns on their backs, and they needed an explanation, an arrangement. It's impossible to lose a lot of rights and interests inexplicably, right?

These people are really stupid!

Actually, no, there are some idiots and fools in it, but there are still a lot of smart people. Throughout history, no one who bears the blame for political events has ever been an ordinary civilian, and even if there is, under the influence of some special forces, they have become special people with "political influence". But more often than not, it is a legitimate politician who bears the blame.

Julio didn't believe the Westerners could be so brutal at first, until he was hit by an arrow in the knee.

"We need to find a solution to this problem as soon as possible, and I don't want these impulsive bastards to continue to ...... outside the town hall," Julio snapped off, and there were five people sitting or standing in his office, all five of whom were his personal team, or decision-making team. Such small groups were common in the South, and businessmen and government officials alike used to hire smart people to form a team to analyze problems and help them be more productive. It is said that Mags also had a similar small group of private individuals, and that group was called a think tank.

The young man standing on the wall with a wine glass was the first to speak, he was a social elite who graduated from the economics department of the Southern University of Commerce, and was hired by Julio to serve on his decision-making team to provide some necessary economic help," Boss, I looked through some of the files left behind by Mr. Memnon, and in them I found that nearly 2.2 million people in the entire western region had purchased 3.7 million insurance policies of various types, and had paid for these insurances for 48 to 77 months, with a total amount of more than 80 million yuan!"

"About 60 million yuan has been invested in the construction of 13 cities, of which the largest expenditure has been spent on land replacement and the construction of commercial centers. In addition, more than 23.5 million were diverted for other purposes, of which more than 9 million were in the account of the Imperial Central Bank of the Kadima Party, which has been frozen, and the remaining 10 million or so had no concrete evidence to prove the flow of these funds, but they all disappeared. ”

In other words, even if those people lower their demands and only need to return the money they paid to settle the problem, you, the city hall, including the state government, will not be able to come up with about 100 million yuan at a time to return all the western citizens who participated in the three guarantees policy. So if you want to say that the refund is suspended and the three-guarantee policy is suspended, you can't come up with the money. ”

Julio suddenly felt a throbbing pain in his brain, the balls didn't hurt anymore, but his head hurt.

A hundred million dollars?

Where did he get 100 million funds, even if he sold him, he could sell millions or tens of millions of funds, the muscles in the corners of his eyes twitched uncontrollably, and he looked at a few other people, "Gentlemen, then how should we face this next disaster? Money, we definitely don't have it, even if the cabinet agrees, it is impossible to allocate 100 million funds to calm the anger of citizens, and we can probably get less than 20 million." ”

At this time, a young man in his thirties dressed in formal clothes and looking like an elite class of society smiled, "Mr. Julio, in fact, we might as well think about it in a different way, Memnon can maintain the three guarantees policy, so why can't we maintain it?" According to the data just now, about 10 million or so can continue to maintain the three guarantees policy without problems, and we can also get more profits from it every year to develop the city!"

Julio nodded noncommittally, "This is indeed one way, but it is also the most inappropriate way." The foundation of the three-guarantee policy was built on the basis of no insurance fraud, and we know that Mr. Memnon had just been defrauded of more than two million insurance money before he was assassinated. We are not familiar with the Three Guarantees policy, and we do not know enough about the personal information of every citizen who participates in the Three Guarantees, and we have to deal with many capitalists, which is full of all kinds of risks. ”

"We may need to form a huge body to complete the handover of these things, and the reason why Mr. Memnon was able to play with the Three Guarantees policy is because he himself is the leader of the Kadima Party. The Kadima Party is spread throughout the West, and there are Kadima people in every city. So they have an organization that's big enough to do these things, but we don't. ”

"If we want to do the same level as Mr. Memnon, the first thing we have to do is the people who work for them, and then we have to fight with the capitalists and find a way to get the money rolling!"

"Gentlemen, this is not an easy task, because we have 'shortfall' about 75 million, and if we can't recover this money and get the frozen funds of the Move Forward Party, then we are very likely to become victims!"

In fact, Julio was most worried that someone was behind the scenes to promote these people to participate in the trouble, if it wasn't for his subordinates telling him that Memnon had grabbed nearly 100 million funds from the west, he would not have known that there was such a big pit here, a pit enough to be called an abyss.

Even if only a million people ask for a refund, it will be enough to make Julio helpless, he simply doesn't have so much money to run these things, he doesn't have the foundation of Memnon, and there are not so many people willing to do things for him.

Julio's legal adviser thought for a moment and said, "Then the only way now is to challenge the state legislature and cabinet on the three-guarantee policy, and ask the state government and cabinet to form an investigation team to conduct an in-depth investigation into whether any lawmakers have been involved in duty-related crimes in the process of the three-guarantee policy bill passed by the state legislature." My personal opinion is that there must have been someone who took the favor to get this bill passed, and as soon as we found evidence, we could apply for and consider the bill and put all the blame on Mr. Memnon and the Move Forward Party. ”

"So what about the citizens who have suffered losses?", Julio was very moved, he knew what the lawyer meant, anyway, he would not admit it, and if he couldn't do it, he would ask the Western Military District to suppress the riot. The consequence of this is that he does not have to bear any responsibility for the three guarantees policy, although there may be some stains on his resume, which is less important than the former.

The legal counsel smiled slightly, "Of course, it is to provide them with legal aid to sue the Forward Party and Mr. Memnon, as for whether this money can be recovered and how much it can be recovered, that is another matter." In order to make Julio and other friends more deeply understand the feasibility of his doing so, he also gave an example, "The Great Scam of the Century happened a few years ago, a group of people used some actually very ordinary means to flee the empire with more than 70 million funds from Xie Lisi Street, and so far the case has not been solved, let alone the main culprit, and not even much money has been recovered." ”

"This is actually the same as what we need to face, as long as we expose the three guarantees policy as a scam, then this matter has nothing to do with us!"
