In the evening, Mr. Mayor had just finished his party, and he sat in the car a little drunk, looking at the colorful city, and his heart was not as ambitious and heroic as described, and he didn't have too many ideas at all.

He just felt that it was a trouble, a big trouble.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, as if the city was in its current situation, shrouded in despair.

A lot of times people think that mayors are better than some state or city councilors, at least they have the actual power, rather than a collective vote.

But only they know that when things are going well, of course they are happy to be mayors, but in the current situation, even if a mayor has great ability, it is difficult to do well.

There are some things that can't be changed by manpower, like a declining economy.

Every day he looks at the rising unemployment rate, at the homeless people wandering around the streets because they can't find jobs, and at the growing gaps, he feels a deep sense of powerlessness and physical and mental exhaustion.

The car came to a slow stop, and the insignificant loss of strength at the moment of stopping made him feel slightly nauseous, and he patted his cheek and got out of the car.

Refusing the driver's support, he returned home, sat on the sofa, and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The maid of the house brought the chilled ice water, he poured it to dispel the slight drunkenness in his body, and asked casually, "Is Ferral back?"

Ferral and the rest of his staff all live in the same neighborhood as the mayor, and even live in the house next door to the mayor, so they can rush to serve the mayor at any time when he needs it.

The servant nodded, "I see that Mr. Ferral's car has returned at seven o'clock. ”

"Let him come, I'll wait for him in the study. ”

The mayor drank the remaining half of the glass of ice water, and the whole person was in a lot of energy, he stood up with his body propped up, and walked into the study a little tired.

He sat in his chair and waited for Ferral's arrival, and at the same time thought about things, a little dazed and in a trance, and when he woke up again, Ferral was already standing in front of him.

"When did you come?", he took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, he wasn't sure if he had eye droppings, he had to make sure he was decent.

Ferral waited for the mayor to tidy up his appearance before he looked up and replied, "I've been here for a while, and I saw you resting just now, so I didn't bother you." ”

The mayor smiled, reluctantly, and then sighed, "I met with Neo in the evening, and his attitude was ambiguous. ”

Recently, there has been a small rumor circulating in the city of Sabin, that Mr. Neo, the president of Ristoen, is actively approaching the Conservatives, and he has affirmed some of the Conservative Party's policies in recent years in some private occasions, believing that these policies have put the Byler Federation ahead of other countries.

In this country, everything can be confused, gender, loyalty, love and hate, but political positions are not allowed.

Neo can tell people that he and the mayor have a falling out, and at the same time show that he is still determined to stick to the Progressive Party's position, so that's the problem between him and the mayor.

But now that his tone is beginning to change in principle, the mayor will have to figure out whether he is trying to put pressure on himself or if he really has something else in mind.

But it's a pity that he didn't try it out, Neo has always avoided this aspect of the problem, in fact, this also gives the mayor a preliminary judgment, he is still choosing, and at the same time hopes that the two parties can give him some chips that make him tendentious.

Hate businessmen, hateful capitalists!

Tens of thousands of people work directly or indirectly for Ristoen, and once Ristoan announces that he will leave Sabin and the state and move to Conservative territory, it will be the mayor's biggest defeat in the city of Sabine!

What's even more terrifying is that under such circumstances, if even one or two thousand new unemployed people are added at once, the entire city of Sabin will fall into hell in an instant.

Coupled with the rumors that Neo deliberately let go out recently, everyone will blame the mayor for the reason, thinking that the mayor forced Neo away, causing everyone to lose their jobs and lives.

The angry crowd was enough to cut off his political career, and Neo had made up his mind to force the mayor to bow his head, but the president of Neo ignored another issue.

The fall of Market-Guide is not something that Ristian can do alone, many people have worked together, including some economies of the same size as Ristoan, why would these people be willing to let the fattest part be swallowed by the Ristian Group?

Even if the mayor agrees, the mayors, legislators, and even governors of other regions won't agree to him doing so, and this makes the matter a dead end.

So is it true that all this can't be changed?

Actually, it's not, Neo must know these things, his purpose is nothing more than to get the mayor to fight for his best interests and serve him with all his might, but this is also impossible, if an excellent politician completely becomes a capitalist thug, this can only mean that the politician is not good enough, and his political career is almost over.

It's a dilemma that has been a headache for the mayor.

When he talked about this topic, he didn't expect Ferral to come up with a solution right away, and it didn't happen today, he just mentioned it casually, like a depressed person who has such a brief desire to talk, and it's good to finish speaking.

The topic was put on hold for a moment, and after a pause, he brought up another thing that brought Ferral, "How is Lynch's situation today?"

Ferral's face changed a little, and he nodded and painted a picture of the scene, which had already moved the mayor, and he asked while doing his own calculations, "How many people would Lynch need to hire to serve him if it all became a fixed pattern?"

He said that he was afraid that Ferral would misunderstand, and added, "I am if his career is spread throughout the state!"

Ferral frowned and calculated for a while, and said uncertainly, "Today he has hired about forty salesmen, several accountants, if you count the temporary workers who helped him set up the site, and the people on the other side of the warehouse, he will provide at least two hundred to three hundred job opportunities in a city." ”

"All the cities in the entire state add up to ......," Ferral's face was somewhat surprised, "at least five thousand jobs!"

Talking about 5,000 jobs in a state with a population of several million is a bit too unrealistic, but the mayor values them because he knows that Lynch's plans are not limited to what he has now.

He began to calculate that, according to Lynch, the club he had built would provide a lot of jobs, and with some of his other ideas, the mayor was a little surprised.

If Lynch's words were to come true, he would be able to provide at least 10,000 jobs for the entire state and no less than 4,000 jobs for the city of Sabin.

If a few hundred jobs can be taken care of by the mayor at most, then if the 4,000 jobs are well arranged, at least 4,000 families can be taken care of, directly affecting the lives of about 15,000 people, and indirectly affecting the lives of about 10,000 people.

Just one Lynch can affect the lives of almost 30,000 people, and this is when he is not very conspicuous, what if he is given a chance to take off?

The mayor couldn't help but fall into deep thought, and there is now a consensus within the Progressive Party that let's not talk about economic development, but first solve the problems of people's lives, if these are not solved, the federal finances will be in danger of collapsing in an instant.

When the time comes, if the decline cannot be reversed, there may be a farce of local financial bankruptcy.

And the more times like this, the more important these capitalists become, and it is difficult for politicians to provide direct jobs for the people, but it is possible for capitalists to do so.

They don't need to raise everyone for nothing, as long as ordinary people can persevere, let the system operate normally, and survive this time, everything will eventually get better.

Thinking of this, the mayor has already made a decision.

The meeting with Neo in the evening made him realize that this man was no longer reliable, and Ristoan could not be relied on, even if he compromised.

Today, Neo forced him to bow his head for the sake of the Ristoan group, and even if he really bowed his head, the two sides also buried an intractable feud with each other.

Now the mayor doesn't have a seizure, it's because he has a request for the other party, but once he has the ability to turn over, he will definitely make Neo and the Ristoan group pay the price.

Could Neo not know about this situation?

No, he knew it, but he did it anyway, which also meant that the compromise between the two sides would not last long, and then another confrontation would be triggered by another incident.

"Arrange it for me, I want to meet Lynch. After making a decision, the mayor spoke directly about his thoughts, maybe Lynch can't change the current situation, but he can offer some other ideas.

If you look at Lynch's estate, this is a young man with a lot of ideas, and if he can provide some way to survive this difficult time, the mayor will not only not bow his head, but maybe have a chance to pull out his hand and slap Neo.

As a person who is more familiar with Lynch, Ferral is obviously a good intermediary, the mayor and Lynch not only know each other but also have a meal, but everyone's "understanding" is only superficial, if you want to talk deeply, talk about something more core, you must have a reliable intermediary as a bridge.

Suddenly, he felt that arranging Ferral's contact with Lynch was a good choice, at least giving him one more way, a chance.

His mood suddenly improved, his whole body was a little lighter, and he began to look forward to the meeting.
