Chapter Eighty-Six: Speeches

19/11/01.

The slowly rising price of grain, perhaps in the eyes of big families and big businessmen, is just the fuel money for driving a Mercedes-Benz for one more day a month.

But in the slums of Manila, it's a very serious thing.

With the rise in food prices, the prices of fertilizers, pesticides, and agricultural machinery are also rising little by little, which has forced local farmers to raise the prices of agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, making the lives of the poor who are not rich even worse.

Right now.

Garfield and his team took to the streets of Manila's Fengdu district to give his speech.

On the makeshift podium under the protection of bulletproof glass, Garfield raised his voice in high spirits:

"My dear compatriots! I, Garfield Fernando, are here today, not to say anything, to say anything, to say anything, to bring 30,000 jobs. ”

In the small square, the poor people who were forcibly pulled over by the gang suddenly forgot all the dissatisfaction in their hearts.

"That's right, it's 30,000 jobs." Garfield clenched his fists and shouted.

Immediately, everyone cheered in unison.

"A million times is not as good as a job; A million times the news is not as good as an egg; Shooting a million documentaries is not as good as a chance to read a book......"

"I, Garfield Fernando, will do my best for the rise of Luzon, and providing 30,000 jobs this time is a ...... of my faith."

"One day in the future, everyone will get a satisfying job; Everyone doesn't have to worry about not having enough to eat; Everyone will have a good education. ”

In the end, Garfield believed it himself, and with tears in his eyes, he opened his hands and shouted: "Please believe me, please support me, thank you......"

Bang Bang Bang ......

The scene resounded with warm applause, and everyone was full of hope, although this hope was only a kind of blind optimism produced by the impulsive atmosphere and the irrationality of the group.

But humanity is a rabble.

People in the dark don't need so-called reason, they just need a little light.

Garfield will be that ray of sunshine.

……

In another estate in Manila.

Lao Du, who was watching the live TV, sat on the sofa, rubbed his temples a little helplessly, and looked at Garfield's somewhat demagogic speech in the live TV screen, and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Thinking of some recent remarks within the family, his heart is now also wavering.

Because from the beginning, he knew that he had to go down, but his daughter would definitely not be able to take over now, so he could only let his successor cultivate his daughter through the exchange of interests.

Originally, Lao Du was more optimistic about the heir of the Marcus family.

But now things have changed, and Garfield Fernando has been very strong lately.

The Fernando family and the Lopez family have already expressed their support for Garfield, and the attitude of the Tusun family is also a little ambiguous, and even a large part of their own family is inclined to Garfield.

The rest of the Aquino-Hsu alliance is not on good terms with the Marcus family, and the Ayala family is likely to support the Marcus family.

In this way, among the five families, Marcus accounts for the second, and Garfield also accounts for the second.

Now the key is his own Dutt family, the Aquino-Hsu family alliance, the Tusun family, the Chen family, etc.

In particular, the choice of himself and the Aquino-Xu alliance will directly affect the result, which is also what makes Lao Du very entangled.

But when he saw the revitalization plan for southern Luzon that Garfield had submitted a few days ago, his face showed a hint of determination.

This plan is too tempting.

If it can really be completed, even if it is not promoted by Lao Du, it is also started during his tenure, which will definitely make him famous in history.

The revitalization plan for the entire southern part of Luzon is huge, including the construction of eight sea-crossing bridges to connect Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Although in Lao Du's opinion, this is simply bragging.

But at least the first phase of the project has already begun to be approved, and some of them are even already under construction.

The first phase of the project includes the San Bernardino Strait Bridge (37 km in total), the Negros Island Central Valley Railway (54 km in total), the Samar Island West Coast Railway (236 km in total), and the Southern Luzon Railway (273 km in total).

and improving the infrastructure of 15 cities, including waste treatment plants, water plants, gas pipeline networks, urban roads, urban light rail, and underground pipe gallery systems.

For 75 townships, the corresponding township roads, wharves, and logistics centers will be built.

This plan looks very crazy, but Lao Du knows that the other party is serious, at least the Fernando family and the Lopez family are fully supporting this plan, and they have taken out a lot of assets hidden overseas by their families.

And the Tusun family, his own Dutt family, and even the Xu family, there are also many people involved.

With such a huge investment in funds, it is no wonder that Garfield dared to hire 30,000 employees in Manila, and it is obvious that Coral Construction can fully eat such a large number of labor.

Anyway, this is not his own money, Lao Du quickly figured it out and fully supported Garfield.

……

After five consecutive street speeches in Fengdu District, Garfield returned home and received the relevant documents for the approval of the plan.

"It seems that he made the right choice."

Guo Liyan, the spider web manager who is responsible for assisting Garfield, shrugged:

"The general trend is the general trend, he doesn't agree and it won't change anything, we just don't want to embarrass him too much, and now it seems that he is really a smart person."

Garfield shook his wine glass: "Still can't be taken lightly, the Marcus family has a lot of connections on the American side, and our recent behavior has made the people behind ABCD very unhappy." ”

"They'll soon be too busy to take care of themselves, and they will have time to take care of this kind of thing? What arrogance! Guo Liyan sneered.

Suddenly, a soldier walked in and handed Garfield an earbud storage.

Garfield knew that this was a special way for the headquarters to transmit information, and quickly stuffed the earbuds into his ears, and the light signal connectors of the earbuds were directly connected to the biochip in the brain.

Garfield, who closed his eyes and read the information, opened his eyes after a while, revealing a hint of a smile.

When Guo Liyan saw his expression, he knew that it was a good thing: "What's the good thing?" ”

"See for yourself!" With that, Garfield took out the earbuds and handed them over.

Guo Liyan wiped the earbuds with a tissue and stuffed them into his ears.

In order to reduce the possibility of leaks, spider web managers will not casually talk about some possible leaks, even in their own homes.

After going through his brain, Guo Liyan also showed joy: "It's really good news." ”

Neither of them said it explicitly, but their mood was more relaxed.

The next day.

The personnel department of Homo sapiens quickly drove more than a dozen container trucks converted into RVs, escorted by the security guards of the internal logistics department, plus some controlled gang members, and quickly held a job fair in Fengdu District.

You must know that the poor population in the entire Fengdu District is about 50~600,000, and 30,000 jobs can almost cover the vast majority of poor families.

The job fair was crowded, and if it weren't for the internal service department's preparations, security and gang members, there might have been chaos on the scene.

The subsidiaries of Homo Sapiens do not have personnel rights, and the recruitment and dismissal of employees are directly managed by the personnel department of the head office.

This is somewhat similar to labor dispatch, where all employees are deployed by the HR department of the head office.
