0155 Small Power

"I need some advice!"

The mayor standing on the rostrum rubbed his temples, "Now there are more and more unemployed people in our city, and the law and order are getting worse and worse, it is said that there have been some vicious cases in the surrounding cities, if there is no way to curb this situation, the city we have built for decades will return to the primitive era!"

Everyone knows that destruction cannot bring prosperity, only construction, but the current situation has forced some people to go where they do not want to.

If you can have food and clothing without sinning, and you still have some people in your hands, the vast majority of people in this world are still willing to be a good person.

But the mayor's words also made some people frown, because they had donated a sum of money not long ago, and now the mayor had gathered them together to talk about how to save the city, giving the impression that he wanted to get some money out of people's pockets.

It's a bad feeling, and no one likes to be blackmailed, even if the person who blackmailed them is the undisputed ruler of the city.

There were no other voices in the silent room, and the mayor looked at the men with expectant eyes, hoping that they would come up with some solution to the problem, but it was clear that his hopes were a little too optimistic.

No one spoke, everyone sat like gentlemen and looked at the mayor on the rostrum, as if they were some kind of ornament used to gather people, and they were placed here.

The anticipation on the mayor's face faded, and his gaze swept over the faces of these people, and the most people avoided looking at him, but he couldn't get the answer he wanted.

It was destined to be a failed meeting, in fact, it was already predictable on Wednesday, and when Lynch pulled out 100,000 yuan and many people had to shell out more money, they had a feeling of being robbed.

Afterwards, they investigate or not, and eventually some people may conclude that Lynch was not the "trust" arranged by the mayor, but they were still robbed.

If this was a few years ago, thirty or fifty thousand yuan would have been available to them anytime and anywhere, and everyone would still have a lot of money in their hands at that time.

Now everyone's life is not good, and it is actually very reluctant to get 30,000 or 50,000 yuan, and everyone feels some pain.

Now the mayor's purpose of bringing everyone together again, in fact, the people in this room know very well, they know what the mayor wants, but they are not willing to compromise again, at least not this time.

Endless compromises will only lead the mayor to blindly and misestimate his influence, but in reality people are not so dependent on him, and now they have a "role model".

On Monday, the Ristian Group's share price began to plummet, and many people took it as interesting news, and sometimes the presence of such a dominant group in one city is not a good thing for other small companies.

Because the upward channel is basically semi-closed, the city hall will give priority to this dominant local pillar enterprise, rather than to those developing small and micro enterprises to support their development.

Only when this group falls, most companies will get some new opportunities and some new policies, so they have been watching jokes, watching the stock price of the Ristian Group go all the way down, and some people have even sold the shares of Ristoan in their hands, with the aim of pushing on the edge of the cliff.

That's one of the reasons why people were willing to shell out on Wednesday, when they saw how terrible the town hall was, and he just made a statement to the outside world, and the shares of the Ristoan Group began to plummet, a fact that Neo and the board of directors were said to have been unable to change with some announcements.

Secondly, after the fall of Ristoan, it was good for the businessmen in the city, they could buy the property of the Ristian group at a low price, which was equivalent to making a lot of money, so they had to pay money to support the mayor's initiative even if they were hard-headed.

But things are a little different, as Neo has publicly stated that he intends to end Ristoan's operations in Sabine and move his headquarters to Conservative territory in the next state.

The mayor of the capital city of the next state also said on Friday night that he would try to bring in external forces to help his city through this difficult time, and they also promised the society that if the Ristian Group can negotiate and settle in their city, then the Ristian Group will provide no less than 3,000 jobs in their city.

And that's just the beginning, and by next year or the year after, they will offer more than 5,000 jobs, which will make the citizens of the whole city cheer.

In fact, in the context of the current era, people's needs are really simple, that is, not to starve to death, and to have a job, especially a job.

Work represents a stable life for all members of a family, work is a must, and there is nothing more important than employment opportunities at such times, absolutely none.

Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be as simple as people thought at the beginning, Ristoan may not have no way out, it is possible that they have already found a way out, which is why the mayor and governor will express their displeasure with them.

The power of an example is endless, and Ristoan has told people from his own life that if they want to solve some of their problems, the best thing to do is to switch to the Conservatives, which are now facing the same troubles as the Progressives, but they are better talked.

People sat in the audience and looked at the mayor, and the mayor looked at them, and eventually the mayor had to take the initiative to speak, which made him feel as if he had been humiliated, "I need more jobs from you......"

"This is impossible, Your Excellency!", someone directly interrupted the mayor's speech, and at the same time the guy also attracted everyone's attention.

Lynch couldn't help but look curiously at this warrior with a brave heart, interrupting the mayor during the meeting, what kind of mind must he have to do such a thing?

It was a young man in his early thirties, probably thirty-two or thirteen, and he even took the initiative to stand up, and I have to say that he had a good appearance, of course, not as good as Lynch.

He's calm, he's not crazy, which means he knows what he's doing.

He looked at the mayor and continued to repeat what he had just said, "This is impossible, Your Excellency, I have a small metal processing factory under my command, and I employ twenty-seven workers, which is the largest scale I can maintain. ”

"Since the second half of last year, it can be said that it has been difficult for me to sell what I produce, but I have maintained this scale unchanged, and I still pay my workers, although it may be unethical for some people to pay me according to the minimum standard of the Hourly Wage Act, but at least I let these workers still get a salary from me every month!"

"Since May this year, I haven't received a penny for three months, I can't support the wages of this factory and those workers, let alone hire more workers, if I can't find a way out before October, I will have to close my factory, so I can't expand jobs at all!"

"And!", his voice rose sharply, so that the mayor's scalp tingled, he pursed his lips and looked at the man, and the young man continued, "and I think that the current problem in the city of Sabin is not solved by increasing jobs, our problem is that our products are not marketable, and what Your Excellency the Mayor, and the state and federal governments, should do is to help us find a market, not make us take responsibility that we should not bear!"

These words were very high-sounding, at least in Lynch's opinion, and the others began to applaud, and soon the applause was continuous, which made the mayor's face even worse.

In fact, there are many things in what he said that are very correct, if you can't sell things, the enterprise can't get profits and money, and it is impossible to feed the workers.

What is the difference between allowing factory owners and entrepreneurs to create new jobs at this time and robbing them of their money?

His words represent the truest feelings of many businessmen at this time, and they will support him as a matter of course.

The mayor looked at the young man and wrote down his appearance, but the young man did not seem to be afraid of the mayor's "malevolent" gaze, and he was not afraid at all.

This makes it inevitable that the mayor will not speculate about some of the things behind him, perhaps he is from the arrangement of Ristoan and Neo.

The applause quickly subsided, and they knew very well that if the applause lasted too long, something could make things worse, and all they needed was to show their attitude, not confront the mayor.

Not all of them were able to leave the city, as the Ristoan group did.

Going to another city will certainly help you get out of some of the current predicaments, such as workers' wages, but the new city will have more severe competition and policy pressures, and if they can't affect the lives of most people like Ristoan, it's better for them not to run around.

The mayor pinched the bridge of his nose, he raised his hand to sit the young man down, and then apologized to everyone, "I ignored your pressure ...... in this regard", which was already the most apologetic apology he could do, and everyone accepted it gladly.

"So is there anyone who can give some solutions, I don't ask any of you to solve the problems that even His Excellency the President can't solve at the moment, but at least it can be alleviated, our situation is very bad!"

In the face of the mayor's inquiry, the people remained silent, and whoever had the means at this time was the enemy of the capitalists of the whole city of Sabin.

Looking at the unresponsive conference room, the mayor realized for the first time that some things were not as easy to solve as they used to be, and his face became worse, and as his gaze searched, he saw Lynch sitting in the corner.

It reminded him of what Lynch said when he had dinner with Lynch last week.
