Chapter 562: Truth [2]
After Scott's answer, there was a slight commotion in the room, and many reporters began to write hard, and all the cameras were focused on him. Most of the people who just said what he just said already have a bottom in their hearts, and the official statement can always be guessed. But his last sentence really lifted the hearts of these journalists, and it was definitely big news. Whether or not it turns out to be true, the mayor of Doolin will be in the news for a short time.
Like many merchants, criminals, or other professionals in the Empire, they often leave the Empire and seek opportunities in the Federation after losing the soil and space to survive in the Empire. Similarly, there are many similar people in the Federation who will come to the Empire in the hope of rediscovering the glory of the past.
Among these people, two types of people are the most conspicuous, the first type is the businessmen from the Federation, especially in the cities of the South, you can often see some commercial institutions with the brand of the Federal Chamber of Commerce, these institutions are mixed, some are legitimate businessmen, but there are also some bad businessmen mixed in. The business practices they engage in, the goods they sell, and some problems can be found in some way. It's just that so far, after what happened, they won't go any further than compensation.
The second group of people is the gang organization with the federal people as the main group, or even the only group, they are most common in the southern cities, occupying some neighborhoods to engage in illegal trade, or selling some contraband, and organizing skilled women to solve some problems that doctors can't cure for the majority of men for a fee. Sometimes they go too far than the local gangs in the Empire, because they are outsiders and need to show their minions to deter other gangs who have thoughts about them, and they don't care about making a mess of it, because this is not the country that raised them.
Everyone has long complained about these people, but due to the law and the degree of cruelty and treachery of these people, there is no very good way to deal with them so far, and it is difficult to find evidence of their crimes.
However, after Scott said the attitude of Mayor Doolin, everyone felt that this Mayor Doolin was too bold, and he actually wanted to do something that the official top management could not do. There is no doubt that he will not only be a news figure in the future, but also a thorn in the side of those who are in the Empire.
However, I have to say that his statement and approach do give people a feeling of lifting, and those who have stepped on the horse should have done this a long time ago!
After a brief note, another reporter raised his arm, and Scott could tell the purpose of their speech from the expressions on their faces. Some of them have solemn faces, and these reporters' questions may not be easy to answer, some of them are excited, and there are those who are undoubtedly making big news, and there are still reporters who are a little more normal and choose not to make themselves too ugly.
In the choice of Scott's gaze, he pointed to the ninth position in the sixth row, a reporter with slightly emaciated eyes. The reporter stood up, glanced at the notebook in his hand, and then asked: "Hello, Your Excellency Press Officer, I am a reporter from the Wenle Les Industrial Newspaper, I have some different data here, some people think that the official may have concealed the true death figures, what do you think of this problem?"
Scott's face was silent, but he was actually relieved in his heart, these are the key test points that he drew the focus of the previous preview. Just as journalists have a similar guess about what the official press officer will say, the press officer will also have a preview of the questions that the reporter may ask before the press conference.
"Hello, I think it's ridiculous to ask this question, from the beginning of the collection operation to the present, I believe everyone has seen the wounded one by one registered and taken to the hospital, and also seen the bags used to temporarily store the bodies outside the canyon. If your primary school teacher is not lazy, you can go to the site and count or take our register to all the hospitals to count. ”
Scott raised his hand to sit him down, and said with a calm face: "There will always be some people who will hide in dark corners and try to harm a just cause with such shameless acts as conspiracy and trickery! The first thing we need to do now is not to consider the attacks from the political arena, from the capitalists, from a small group of conspirators. We should put all our attention on the search and rescue work, and hope that more people will be rescued to the greatest extent, which is the brilliance of humanity and what we need most!"
"To be honest, I feel very ...... your question," he smiled with his head down, a mocking expression, "Do you want to use the number of victims and what happened to them as an excuse to attack the city government of Otis City, or do you want to use it to achieve your other ulterior conspiracy? You and those behind you, and your question, are really very shameful!"
The sudden focus caught the reporter of the Industrial Newspaper a little off guard, and he lowered his head with a flushed face to avoid the eyes from all directions. Yes, Scott was right, he was going to make big news with a frightening headline and an exaggerated number, complemented by Scott's statement. But he didn't expect the press officer of Otis City to say this about him at the press conference, so that he had no way out!
He certainly won't know that he has been blacklisted, and no matter what happens in the future, this industrial newspaper will be excluded from the press corps.
One by one, reporters stood up and asked questions, and Scott answered their questions one by one, answering those who could answer positively, and secretly changing concepts if they couldn't.
After the press conference, Scott took off his coat and went back to his office to change into a neat and clean outfit, and his shirt had been soaked with sweat for more than two hours. In the face of reporters from so many newspapers in the empire, he was definitely not as relaxed as he appeared. Answering any question incorrectly, firstly, he himself will be embarrassed and fail with Doolin, he has no way out, and secondly, he will make Doolin a harlequin.
Durin is not a good man, this is the consensus of all the high society of Ilian, since he killed Juan and the provincial people who were going to march, everyone knows that this guy is a bad guy, or the ruthless kind.
Scott soon appeared in front of Doolin, who was on the phone, and when he saw Scott come in, he pointed to the sofa in the distance and walked into the rest room with the phone.
At this time, he was on the phone with the chairman of the United Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., which was their fifth call in three days, and the results of the five calls were almost all reflected in this press conference. In fact, there are only three cores of this press conference, the first is that Mayor Doolin is selfless, willing to do what he can for all the people of the empire, and to take responsibility, and is an upright official.
The second is that United Construction Engineering is a responsible enterprise, and they are willing to compensate for the wrong things they do in accordance with the law, and they will never avoid any fines, even if they go out of business.
The last and most important one is to conceal the death toll and reduce the death toll from more than 1,300 people to more than 200. Of course, this does not mean that the deaths of more than 1,000 people really do not exist, but they actually exist. The families of these victims can also receive 8,000 yuan in compensation, but they will always be unlucky "20 percent". Guided by public opinion, people no longer pay attention to the number of deaths and whether these people have received compensation.
They will be more aware of the courage of Durin and the United Construction Workers to take responsibility for the courage and the courage to face the disaster, which is equivalent to an advertisement for them that will affect the entire Northern Continent!
As for why the number of deaths should be concealed, on the one hand, if the true death toll is announced, it is very likely that the project that runs through the two mountains will be stopped by public opinion, and this kind of project that kills so many people in an accident is a scourge in the eyes of many social and moral people with a sense of justice, and secondly, it is also to pull up the stock price of United Construction Engineering again, and the compensation for concealing the death toll of United Construction Engineering is to build a railway for the city of Otis for free, excluding material costs.
The people on both sides of the conversation combined through the phone and felt that this thing could be done, and what was originally a bad thing would soon turn into a good thing, and the benefits they gained through this accident far outweighed the benefits they lost!
It's a business, a big business!
After the call ended, Durin came out of the rest room, put the phone on the table, walked to the couch and sat down, "How is it?
Scott smiled wryly and nodded, "What else can I say but 'adapt'? Go back? Of course not!", he straightened his back and asked with some concern, "Will you be affected by this accident?"
Du Lin also nodded, "Of course, I will definitely have a responsibility that I can't get rid of after so many people have died, there are always some people who can't get used to seeing the minority stand up, and I still have some enemies in the imperial political arena, they will definitely not let go of this opportunity." ”
"So you might be transferred?", Scott got Doolin's promise, but he still had a bit of a pain, "Is there any news on who will take over as the next mayor?"
Durin shook his head, picked up a cleaned apple and took a bite of it, "You don't need to worry about these problems, on the contrary, no matter who comes, he needs to worry about how much actual power he can get in this city." You just have to watch a few things, give me a call when necessary, it's as simple as that. ”
"Can I ask a question?", Scott was still a little worried, and after Durin nodded, he asked, "They all said that Todd was killed by you?"
Durin laughed, and then replied righteously, "No!"
Scott also smiled, "Then I'll be relieved!"
