The people are dissatisfied with the mayor, and the capitalists in the cities are equally unhappy with the mayor, and they are the group of people who are the least willing to see social unrest, which means that their business will be ruined.

The gathering was held by wealthy businessmen to protect their property against illegal acts, but in fact there should have been some "ideas".

Lynch didn't say anything, just stood quietly to the side, although people paid attention to him, but it was obvious that the core of this party was not him, but the rich businessman.

He is not entirely right, in federal law "inbound" often refers to the encroachment on non-business private territory, that is, residence, in which case direct retaliation is protected by law.

But there are still some technical and moral questions about whether a place of business is a "burglar" and whether it can kill an intruder without hesitation, not to mention that when a wealthy businessman mentions the purpose of his party, this argument is actually untenable.

In order to take out those who robbed them of their property, some gunmen were deliberately arranged in the store, and the jury would never give these people a good look, they would think it was a deliberate murder.

I don't know if the gunman will be acquitted, but he, the initiator, may be convicted of murder, so what he said, no one responded too positively, and there are not a few fools here.

He talked for a while, and seeing that the atmosphere was not bad, he began the main topic of the meeting, "Speaking of these recent problems in our city, there is a person who has some different ideas, I wonder if you recognize Councilor Edward?"

Some people nodded, and Congressman Edward, who was one of the members of the state House of Representatives, sponsored some proposals for urban reform, and often reached out to the people.

He himself was most proud of his mastery of the art of striking iron and logging, which he claimed he had learned from blacksmiths and lumberjacks in order to experience the hardships of labor.

The people at the bottom eat this very much, and he still has some fame in society.

But his scripts don't really get into the eyes of the upper class, and a member of a state House of Representatives, although honestly very powerful, is limited to that.

As the rich merchant spoke, there was a knock on the door, and it happened to be Councillor Edward who came in.

The wealthy businessman explained slightly, "I have exchanged a lot of thoughts and opinions with Councillor Edward in the past few days, and I think Councillor Edward is a person who is very enthusiastic about our lives and cares about our interests. ”

"Something that's happened recently has also made me realize that we need someone to speak up for us!"

At this point, people finally understood the purpose of this gathering, it was actually a political act, and some people were very interested, and they did feel that there was no problem with what the rich businessmen said, and nothing had changed so far.

And it has always been a tradition to invest in politicians, who take the money of the capitalists everywhere to increase their influence, and in return they will use it for the benefit of the capitalists who support them once they have gained power.

The most common thing is tax reductions and, of course, local policy preferences, which are all things that the capitalists value.

Others find it boring, such as Lynch, who knows some of the deeper inside story that Councillor Edward and his potential supporters have offended the mayor, and those behind the mayor.

Whether they are of the same party or not, or whether they are of a faction within a party, they will inevitably have some small contradictions with each other because of this.

This is understandable.

Resources are limited for a party, and even for such a large party as the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party, the Socialist Party is once again subconsciously forgotten.

Their resources can only be concentrated on a few people, and others can only rely on themselves to fight, and one of them can fight out of thousands of low-level politicians, and there is a certain possibility that they will become one of these people.

Now the mayor of Sabine also won this position on his own, so he can enter the eyes of some people and become part of the alternative.

The competition at the bottom is always cruel, whether for ordinary people, for small businessmen, or for these "bottom politicians".

Tens of millions of small circles in thousands of rooms make up the various states of this society.

Among the many bad news, there is good news that the drinking water company and their employees have agreed that after a two-day water outage, the water company can guarantee a limited water supply of two hours each day in the morning and two hours in the afternoon.

The deal was made possible because the employees of the drinking water company found out two days later that they themselves had been affected by the strike.

It is true that others have no water to drink, but they do not have a single drop of extra water in the faucet of their own house, so they can only reach a compromise after several rounds of fierce negotiations.

That's roughly two hours less work per week, a 3.5 percent increase in the monthly salary based on the hourly rate, and an extra three days of paid vacation per year.

The workers are content to enjoy the legal strike holiday, so that they are not in a hurry to go to work, and they have to build up the momentum of other strike groups.

Perhaps seeing Lynch standing alone, Councillor Edward, who had just finished a topic, came over with a wine glass.

Lynch is currently a businessman who has attracted much attention in Sabin City, and in this era of counter-current, it is not easy for every business to make money, and it is not easy to ensure that it does not lose money.

But Lynch's company not only does not lose money, but also makes a lot of money every week.

What is even more incomprehensible is that ordinary people mostly have a negative view of capitalists, but when it comes to Lynch, many people are thanking him and his business.

Even mayors sometimes need to use Lynch's influence to promote something, not to mention that they plan to cooperate with TV stations and telecommunications companies to open live auctions and telephone auctions!

If these things can really be put on the horse and become a reality, everyone will be able to feel that a terrible monster is being born.

Lynch's company is almost up to the mark of listing, and if their auctions in the state's capital keep their "style" of the continued success of the past, more companies and individuals will invest in Lynch.

Getting Lynch's help is almost the same as indirectly getting the attention, or even help, of those behind him.

"You didn't bring a female companion?", Edward took the initiative to walk to Lynch's side, he did not despise Lynch because of his youth.

Lynch turned around and bowed slightly, "I don't have a girlfriend yet, you know, people like us will never feel that there is not enough time, let alone time to fall in love." ”

He shook the glass in his hand, the liquid in the glass swayed slightly, "Maybe I'll think about these things when I'm thirty." ”

This is a very common opening line, Edward and Lynch touch their glasses, "What do you think is our problem at the moment?"

It's a very general question, Lynch thinks for a moment, "Communication." ”

If the two sides had calmed down and sat down to communicate, instead of expressing their demands in a radical way like a general strike, perhaps the problem would not have been as serious as it has been.

But there are two sides to any problem, and perhaps they have tried and failed before, so strikes have become a common method, because only then will the capitalists be willing to listen to what the workers have to say.

It's just that this general strike is far greater than anything that has happened before, both in terms of scale, impact and destructiveness.

Councillor Edward pointed at Lynch with his glass, "That's right, communication, so far we haven't seen an effective channel of communication, and appeals and speeches can't change any of the actual situation." ”

He was suggesting that the mayor's actions were meaningless, and he seemed to be.

Saying that, he had a smile on his face, "I'm different from Langdon, they are either academics (Saint and Alliance) or elite politicians (prestigious universities), they don't know what the people really want. ”

"And I'm ......", he took a step back, and there were some movements in his hands, and his body language was very rich, which made his words seem more infectious, "I come from an ordinary elementary school, an ordinary middle school, an ordinary university, and I know what those people want, because I came from them." ”

In fact, this sentence is also not true, because those real "they" can't afford to go to college, and the least they can afford to go to college is also the middle class, the least!

"I am familiar with the branch president of the trade union, and I plan to talk to them about the solution to the conflict between labor and management in the next few days, and if you need anything, maybe you can say it in the negotiation process." ”

That's how he attracted people, talking directly to the union branch president about the general strike, and there were a lot of people here who were desperate to end it and get back to work, and Councillor Edward was holding on to their needs very firmly, and his chips were shining.

It's just that this chip is not very useful with Lynch, because he doesn't have too many workers under his command, he only has a large group of partners!

Besides, he never forced those people to work hard, love to do it or not is his attitude, his vital interests will always be more than urging these people to exert their enthusiasm, money is better than whips!

Lynch shook his head, "I'm glad you thought of me, but I don't have any trouble here yet." ”

Edward was a little disappointed, but only disappointed, he didn't expect a random party to get everyone to support him, and if he could do that, he would have been president a long time ago.
