Chapter 117: The Enforcer's Handbook
"You mean that they will help us financially just for the sake of a good name?"
Lu Xiang looked at Song Lan with strange eyes.
Today's Song Lan spoke with a different momentum than before, if she understood correctly, this was probably an even more arrogant approach than the Foster family and the inspection department.
"That's right, the money will be collected, and the people will be caught."
Today you are a sponsor of the fight against crime, but tomorrow if you commit a crime and are found out by your buddy, then don't blame your buddy for not being able to live with you.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
The inspection department collects black money, and it will really help those black-hearted enterprises to do things, and the fight between enterprises will often rise to the level of buying murder, and what the inspection department has to do is to stop hiring murderers at home robbery, after all, there are many people at the bottom of the 17th district who hate enterprises to the core, and it is also reasonable to kill people after burglary.
"That's why I say it's just a short-term solution, and it can only solve the immediate need of the current fiscal shortage."
The big businesses in the 17th district are not stupid, and if they do too much to cross the river and tear down the bridge, they will naturally withdraw the financial aid to the law enforcers, and they are also very likely to have a revenge mentality and use the funds to finance the criminals to cause them trouble.
"If we want to really solve the funding problem of the department, it will be a big problem for us in the future."
Song Lan made a summary.
He's just an ordinary office worker, not a Doraemon or a bank robber, and it's impossible to solve the future financial problems of the law enforcement department with a single blow on his head.
This time, they offended the Foster family and the coalition government quite thoroughly, so that they had to spend energy to quell the media turmoil, as long as Lu Xiang was still the head of the law enforcement department for a day, they probably would not be able to get financial assistance from the coalition government, which is why the next mayor is crucial.
If Mayor Leon had been succeeded by the puppets of the big families, they would have been in a difficult position in the future.
"But what exactly are we supposed to do?"
The head of the statistics section was particularly concerned about this, although Song Lan's words sounded very reasonable, but he didn't think that a group of them would stay in the law enforcement department and do nothing, and those companies would take the initiative to send money to the door.
"Propaganda, propaganda, propaganda."
"So far, the 'Enthusiastic Citizen' has helped us solve several cases, and in a sense, he has formed a good cooperative relationship with us, and it is foreseeable that this relationship will continue." โ
The section chiefs listened very carefully, but no one knew that when Song Lan said this, his heart was dripping blood.
After the city-wide meeting, he had planned to let the "enthusiastic citizens" wash their hands and withdraw from the rivers and lakes without caring about disputes, but only a few days later, he had to report the riots in the suburbs again as an "enthusiastic citizen", and now, in order to solve the financial problems of the department, he had to let himself attack in the form of a tool man.
"After the citywide meeting, the reputation of the Foster family and the Inspectorate plummeted, and not only the citizens of the 17th District, but also people from other districts joined in the denunciation, so who is the most vocal person in the 17th District now? There is no doubt that we are 'enthusiastic citizens', and we have been restored to our reputation as a result of recent events, and once we make public our long-standing relationship with 'enthusiastic citizens', it will be very beneficial for us law enforcers.
"At present, in order to avoid igniting themselves, those large enterprises are cutting with the inspection department and the Foster family at the speed of light, at least on the surface."
When people have wealth, they will chase fame and fortune, whether in 2020 or 2166.
The executives of those large enterprises are also unwilling to be scolded by enthusiastic netizens as soon as they return home every day, and in the long run, it will inevitably have an extremely adverse impact on their spirits, and there may even be depression.
"And we won't promise them anything, but we can write a biography in the name of the law enforcement department to praise them for their financial assistance in the fight against crime."
This is not a matter of accepting black money out of conscience, but of stating the facts.
They will indeed respond to the expectations of the public, spend the funds on the road of fighting crime, and strive to find enough evidence as soon as possible to send the black-hearted entrepreneurs to the bureau.
"To do this, we need a long-term publicity window to maintain good communication with the citizens in a timely manner and let them know where we are going."
In fact, they nominally had a propaganda department, but Lu Xiang never attached importance to external propaganda work, and this department was later merged into the statistics department, and for a long time there was nothing to do.
Speaking of this, Song Lan took out a manual from her briefcase.
Although it is a manual, it uses the technology of 2166, it is more like a tablet made in the style of a manual, with an electronic screen replacing the pages, "This is a brochure for a local prosthetic hospital, we can also take the same way to promote, once a week, in addition to the character special, you can also announce the number of crimes in the past week, the trend of crime rate, and the detailed explanation of some recent cases that have attracted public attention." โ
Compared with the speculation on the Internet, the law enforcement department can give the most authoritative data and results.
"We can call it the Enforcer's Handbook."
In the current situation in the 17th District, in order to cut off the inspection department as soon as possible, Song Lan believes that entrepreneurs will very much want to appear in this manual as a positive person.
Song Lan said, and the conference room fell into a long silence.
Dozens of seconds later, the head of the Statistics Section applauded, and then the applause became one in the blink of an eye.
It's a path they never envisioned.
They have been following in the footsteps of their supervisors, putting all their minds on fighting crime every day, and if it weren't for Song Lan to provoke the conversation, they wouldn't even pay special attention to the matter of cutting the budget in half.
"It's really you, Section Chief Song."
Chief Snake lamented that there have always been many legends about Song Lan among the various departments of the law enforcers.
SONG Lan,
A man who is everywhere except for the arrest of criminals.
Snake was pleased.
With such a man sitting in the rear of the law enforcement department, they can be more active in the front line of the fight against crime.
"So, let's start voting."
Lu Xiang smiled, she originally just threw out the question for the purpose of letting Song Lan desert, but she didn't expect the other party to start a heart-wrenching speech in front of many section chiefs.
"Regarding Song Lan's concurrent position as the head of the Propaganda Section, please raise your hand if you are in favor."
The section chiefs present did not hesitate at all, and this was the result of everyone's expectations.
Except for Song Lan herself.
"Director Lu, thisโthis is not right."
Song Lan's face darkened, "The Propaganda Section has long been merged into the Statistics Section, and it should be the head of the Statistics Section." โ
"Why?"
The head of the statistics section waved his hand again and again, "It's best for you to lead the new propaganda section, Section Chief Song, no one is more qualified for this position than you, let's work together for the future of law enforcers!" โ
