0144 Don't envy anyone
Double standards have always existed, since the feudal period, people have been deeply aware of the benefits of double standards, especially for rulers.
Lynch doesn't have the weight to use double standards right now, and in the mayor's eyes, he's too immature to use double standards even if he can make the business as big as he says.
Things like the Minimum Hourly Wage Act, the Employment Act, and the Workers' Rights Protection Act, even the most powerful capitalists are not willing to change them easily, not because they are incapable, but because the costs and consequences of changing these things are too serious.
Little Lynch actually wanted to change something, which made the mayor's frowning brows suddenly stretch again, and even some smiles appeared on his face, this is still a young man after all.
He didn't know anything about the world, and he didn't know what it took to face this seemingly simple world.
However, this kind of momentum is very emotional, which makes the mayor can't help but recall when he just graduated, thinking about changing the world, but look at now, he is in his forties, but he is still just a mayor.
Maybe he will finally be able to get to the governor's position, but this is still a long way from the "arrogant" dreams of his youth.
Everyone has had such moments, but reality will teach them how to face the world properly.
Thinking of this, the mayor may have taken a sip of the wine glass under the effect of some emotion, the process of decanting actually began before the two arrived at the restaurant, the ice cubes in the dry ice bucket ensure that the wine is at the most suitable temperature for drinking, and at the same time, the full contact between the wine and the air makes its astringency become weak, and it is not even felt.
A good bottle of wine, the mayor raised his eyebrows when he put down his glass, and when he looked at the bright red wine in the glass, he was not as disgusted as he was just now.
It was actually an interesting and complicated thing that so many psychological changes had happened in a very short period of time, and he didn't want to think about it, so he focused his attention elsewhere.
"Compared to this, I have an idea, I don't know if you would like to listen to it?", a good teacher is always something in people's bones, in fact, by imparting some knowledge and experience to others, to support their own greater vanity is the true essence of this good teacher.
It's instinctive, but it's not bad, so that's a good thing.
Lynch bowed slightly, and the mayor continued, "I suggest you donate a sum of money to the university and then go ......back to school," he said, pausing and then explaining, "I mean you need some connections that belong to you, and that's my advice to you." ”
"There are nine top private universities in the Commonwealth, which were once funded and established by a private institution called the Holy Peace Society, and if you can be a student at these nine universities, you will have access to the top resources of the Federation. ”
"If you can become an alternate member of the Holy Peace Church, or even a full ......member of the Holy Peace Church," the mayor smiled, and there was a bit of an indescribable weirdness behind the smile, "then congratulations, you will become alumni and even members of the Holy Peace Church, along with the governors of most of the federal states, the senior leaders of the three parties, the president, the cabinet members, and the justices for life, who can determine the direction of this society." ”
The mayor's feeling may come from his impulse to Lynch, who used to be such a teenager, but now the edges and corners that have been cut off by time and reality have become more realistic.
So he wanted to give Lynch some advice on his life, if he was willing to bow his head and choose someone he didn't like in exchange for attending the school of the Holy Peace Alliance, maybe he would be the governor by now.
The governor of this state is about the same age as him, but he is already a governor and occupies a very important position in the party, and all this because he and the leaders of the progressive party, as well as the top leaders, are from the Holy Peace Conference.
This is a way to move up quickly, and people are willing to give him a chance, for the sake of everyone being alumni and members of the alliance, but they are not willing to give the mayor a chance because he doesn't have the badge of the nine universities.
Lynch nodded yes, and kept the matter in mind, and the next topic seemed a lot lighter, Lynch stopped discussing his two big troubles, and the mayor did not continue to be a nasty teacher, and they began to talk about some fashionable things, some things related to life.
"I heard that your friend is planning to shoot a film in Sabin, so ask them to contact the Social Services Bureau, and then the Social Services Bureau will come forward to coordinate some work to make the filming smoother. The mayor said as he said what the Fox father and son had been doing lately.
They didn't know where to get a script, and they thought it was good, and with a little money in hand, they decided to turn the script into a movie.
In fact, whether it is an ordinary person or a person who has realized his self-worth, he will have an impulsive desire to spend money, as if the money is very hot, and it will make people feel uncomfortable in the bank, and only by spending the money can people be satisfied.
Especially the moment when the money is spent, that kind of happiness...... , simply beyond words.
Lynch hadn't really heard of it, but it didn't stop him from dealing with the mayor, "I heard that every place will have some subsidies for filming?"
This is also a common practice, such as the Bayler Federation, people mainly shoot movies in the two major film and television cities, on the one hand, the supporting work of these cities is very good, and at the same time, many places similar to cinemas are built to facilitate the scenery.
The second is the local subsidy policy, and the fact that you can get more subsidies for making films in these two cities, including tax exemptions, is what really attracts those filmmakers.
But this does not mean that other cities have given up their efforts in this regard, especially the rulers in the city hall, a movie can drive more visitors than people think, and it is of great help to improve the overall cultural environment of a city, so each city still retains the subsidy policy.
The mayor pursed his lips, "Sometimes I don't think you look like a twenty-year-old at all, and your friends aren't as smart as you. ”
He was referring to the fact that the Fox father and son had not thought of contacting the Social Services Bureau, and if they did, not only would the authorities coordinate some of the work, but they would also be able to help them apply for subsidies.
It's surprising that an old guy who has been in the society for more than 20 years doesn't know that a young man who has just been out of school for only two years knows about it.
The mayor flicked the napkin on the table, "You know, the situation of the whole society is not good now, and the finances of the city hall are also very tight, so the maximum subsidy can be no more than 100,000 yuan, but the use of all public facilities can be waived, and if there is a need to close the road, it can also be negotiated and resolved." ”
There is not a lot of money, but what matters is not the money, it is the attitude of the mayor.
Filming often involves closing roads or vacating a building, and there was once a famous crew who wanted to shoot a road chase that collided and exploded.
The local government not only failed to facilitate the use of the urban ring road that had already been built, citing a "threat to public safety", but also demanded a review of the safety of their scripts.
In the end, the crew had no choice but to go to some abandoned remote countryside and rebuild a road with the help of the original abandoned road to shoot these scenes.
Money is secondary, and prolonging the release time of the movie is a big problem.
Saying that, the mayor coughed lightly and said quietly, "My little daughter likes to watch movies very much, and she is very excited when she hears that someone is going to shoot a movie in the local area, do you think she can go to the scene to see it, or make a cameo appearance in one of the roles?"
"Why not?"
The time of one meal solved several problems, and there were still two problems that were not solved, and this meal was valuable for the mayor, and his relationship with Lynch was pulled in a little more, and the problem of a thousand jobs was also solved.
Yes, eight hundred became a thousand, Lynch did not refute, everyone knows that this kind of thing is just talk, if he can do it, Lynch will do it, if he can't do it, it doesn't matter.
But neither Lynch nor His Excellency the Mayor seems to have mentioned Lynch's two big troubles again, but neither of them has forgotten it, and maybe at some point, people will mention it again.
After dinner, Lynch was a little curious, and instead of going straight home, he asked the driver to drive him to Mr. Fox's current residence.
As soon as you enter the room, you can feel a kind of artistic atmosphere of creation, a group of people who clearly seem to be cultural people are surrounding the table, discussing some details of the story, and Little Fox is also involved.
Lynch's arrival stunned everyone, but quickly returned to work.
Under the guidance of the servant, Lynch met Mr. Fox Sr. on the terrace on the second floor, who was playing cards with several elderly people of about the same age, with a small number of chips in front of him, but everyone was happy.
"Wait a minute, it'll be ...... soon", Mr. Fox nodded, and soon the game was over, and the little old men looked at Lynch with some curiosity, and soon smiled and settled the chips with Mr. Fox before saying goodbye.
Seeing these people leave, Mr. Fox breathed a sigh of relief, stood by the guardrail at the edge of the platform, and patted the handrail with both hands, "This is life!"
He sighed a little, then looked back at Lynch, "You see that?"
Lynch nodded, "Of course, we all know that Mr. Fox is an old fox, especially when it comes to money, but it's also a pleasure, at least it's healthy!"
Mr. Fox laughed when he heard this, "I knew you could see through it at a glance, and sometimes I envy your parents for having such a smart child as you!"
Lynch didn't really care, "I think they're going to envy you even more, Mr. Fox." ”
