Two companies specializing in the sale of industrial generators in Sabin would never have imagined that they were about to file for bankruptcy and get out, and a power outage that swept the city suddenly came, without the slightest defense.

Then the merchants showed up outside their shops in trucks and talked about buying generators.

In the city hall in the center of the city, the mayor was talking to some of the town hall officials, including some businessmen, including Lynch.

"We want to make sure that the city is not affected by this general strike, and I need you to talk to the advocates or leaders of the strike, how to solve this problem, and the entrepreneurs must also cooperate with them. ”

"Other things can be put aside for the time being, but enterprises related to the basic supply of urban life must resume work as soon as possible. ”

"Power plants, water plants, gas stations...... , I will send some police to cooperate with you, if some people ......", the mayor glanced at the room, everyone could see the anger in his heart at this time, "The police will take them down." ”

The factories he listed were critical to the functioning of a city, and if the most basic basic supplies were not secured, the city would soon fall into anarchy for these reasons.

There is no information, there is no electricity, there is no water flowing from the faucet, people will have a feeling that everything is out of control, the rules that people used to follow will collapse in an instant, and the destructiveness in the bones of human beings will surface, and it will become a huge disaster.

The chief of police in the conference room raised his hand, and the mayor frowned slightly, and he raised his chin, "Mr. Chief, do you have any ideas?"

The chief of the police station was a middle-aged man in his forties, and his body was a little plump, that is, a little fat.

This is normal, and it has become an underlying practice in the Federal Police to be overweight, who believe that overweight cops are more of a deterrent to criminals...... , although it is not known where they came to their conclusions, secondly, the long-term inactive way of working and too many high-calorie foods make it difficult for their figure not to lose shape.

The director had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Your Excellency, I don't mean to offend, but the current situation in the police department is also very bad, I have received a large number of resignation reports this week, and our current police force is completely insufficient to maintain daily law and order......"

It was already clear to him that he and the police department did not want to be involved in the strike, and he had heard from the mayor's previous words that if someone did not cooperate, the police would take action.

It's easy to anger the already enraged strike marchers, and the police are the vulnerable ones when it comes to these situations.

At least those people dared to beat the police with their fists, but the police didn't necessarily dare to shoot back.

If it gets too big, let's say a policeman shoots and even kills someone, in the end he will be unlucky, but the police chief will also be unlucky.

It's such a hard time now, he doesn't plan to change jobs.

The mayor didn't speak, just looked at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, "We can get the militia or the army to cooperate......"

There is no doubt that once the military, even just the militia, enters the city on a large scale, it means that the city is on the verge of getting out of control or even out of control, and it will definitely be the mayor who is unlucky.

He failed to run the city, failed to live up to the hopes placed on him by the party and the people, and after the election he was likely to lose his current authority and become an inconspicuous man.

So the mayor refused this request without hesitation, "Do as I say, other things can be put a little bit, I can understand your difficulties, can you understand my difficulties?"

The police chief nodded a little and sat back, "Okay, I'll try......"

At this moment, Lynch, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly raised his hand, and the mayor glanced at him before nodding, "Let's see if Mr. Lynch has any valuable remarks." ”

This sentence is actually not a good tone, but Lynch does not care, and he asks a question, "Why not temporarily take the management rights of the power company, the water power company and the energy company under the name of the city hall for unified management?"

The mayor shook his head, "Private property is sacrosanct, this is written into the charter, and the federation will not support me to do so......", he said and paused, "Is there anyone else who wants to speak?"

In the Federation, except for the government and the military, which are federal governments, most of the things are private, in fact, the reason is very simple, the federal finances may not be able to support them to run so many things themselves, and they must be able to make a profit.

The government cannot oppress and exploit the working class like the businessmen, which dooms many things to be privatized and run by "black-hearted businessmen", and only they can run them well and ensure profits.

The simplest example is the public transport company, which was initially the responsibility of the local government itself, but soon the local transportation company began to lose money, and the local government faced a huge problem.

If they cut the number of vehicles and shifts they operate, the citizens will not agree, and if they continue to operate in the current way, the finances will not agree.

As for how exactly this is lost, that is another matter, and finally with the approval of the National Assembly and the amendment of the bill, the transportation company can be operated by the local government, or it can be operated by a private company, and certain policy incentives and financial subsidies will be given.

This method greatly reduces government expenditures, and at the same time can meet the needs of people in a city to travel, so when more and more new things appear, the city hall no longer considers the problems of government operation, but directly hands over to the businessmen.

There are good and bad things in everything, and now is the time for the bad to manifest themselves.

The meeting lasted until about 2 p.m., and the main issue was focused on the speedy restoration of order in the city.

To solve these problems, it is necessary to stop the strike.

If you want the strike to stop, you have to negotiate with them about treatment, wages, working hours, and the creation of more jobs, which is not easy to discuss.

On the way back, Jack deliberately avoided some streets with parades, and although he walked around, it was generally very quiet and safe.

"Do you know the route of their parade?", asked Lynch, who was sitting in the back seat, pulling a cigarette out of his pocket and lighting one.

Jack looked at the road ahead without squinting and nodded, "Sir, these things are not a secret......

Lynch raised his eyebrows, "Our community is also affected?", Jack didn't speak immediately, Lynch laughed and said, "We're just talking casually, no one else will know about these things." ”

With this assurance, Jack nodded yes, "The guild people came to contact us, hoping that we could also help, they told us the time and place, and the length of the parade, but you know, we still have to feed our families, so ......"

"Understandable!", Lynch nodded noncommittally, and rolled up the window as he sat in the car and looked out the bleak street.

There was a deep chill in the autumn wind blowing from the window, and he couldn't stand it.

Because he knows very well that these winds are blowing very well now, but when his physical functions begin to deteriorate, he will have to pay the price for the chic at this time.

"Go to the Social Services Bureau ......", Lynch, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly changed the location, and Jack didn't have any words, silently adjusting the route.

About ten minutes later, the car slowly stopped, and suddenly some children ran out of the roadside, and some people took towels to wipe the car carelessly.

Jack immediately got out of the car, and instead of yelling at the men to get out of the way, he patiently took out some coins and a piece of two pieces of change, and asked the people who wiped the car and some of the half-grown children to thank them and leave.

With sure that no one would interfere with Lynch, he opened the door for Lynch.

"You're very good at handling the situation. Lynch said casually as he stood beside Mali.

Jack laughed, "I can understand what they think, it's all rich and big people who can come here." ”

Lynch nodded and asked him to wait on the side of the road, and entered the Social Services Bureau alone, and soon Asr arrived as well.

"Register a new asset management company ......", at Lynch's request, Asr registered an asset management company called "Sabine City Starlight Public Service".

After doing all this, he gave a few more instructions, and then drove back home.

It dawned on him that this was a very special opportunity.

Power companies, not only can make money, but also add some "weight" to themselves.

These basic service companies control the operation of a city, and their voices are louder in society, in the ears of the authorities, than others, and the people are more receptive to them.

Lynch believes that this time they did not talk properly, which also means that he has such a chance.

On the other hand, the police chief returned to the police station and told the mayor's request to the policemen, and then the police station exploded.

At six o'clock in the evening, the mayor had finished a busy and tiring day's work, and now his daily dinner was about to become his "escapist" paradise, and only during this time period would no one say anything that gave him a headache.

Today's dinner is the top marine ingredients from the southern hemisphere, which Mark sent over, so he specially transferred a chef from Mark's side.

But at this time, a phone call made him lose his appetite at all.

The police...... Strike!
