Chapter 567, The Nature of Despair

The only good news is probably that they cleaned up once before the New York incident broke out, and again before the New York incident.

For the rest of the year, the rich people who remain in New York are more 'obedient' and don't like to cause trouble so much.

Or rather, it's not that they don't like to cause trouble, they don't care. It seems that the New York incident may have been just a small fight, and it didn't affect them, so they naturally ignored the Brooklyn trio.

You do your Z change, I earn my money, and everyone's well water does not violate the river water. But now what they have to do is not as simple as not provoking them.

They intend to reassign the sub-bureau positions. This is to weaken the protection of the rich and take the money of the rich to help the poor!

I pay taxes, but the taxes I pay don't cost me, so why do I still pay taxes? Spend my money, show your kindness, and I spend my money as I deserve?

Why should I spend money? This is not the same as the government-led fundraising for poor areas. The rich are willing to do charity, not only to avoid taxes, but also to invite fame, killing two birds with one stone.

Now that the money is spent, the name is not earned, and the taxes are not avoided, why spend money? This is the effect of capital on government.

In fact, if you look at the history of the East, this situation is not uncommon. During the feudal dynasty, the wealth of the world was used to support a family and a surname, the royal family was rich in the world, how to squander and how to squander, the people had everything, they could not eat enough and wear warm, and even the safety of their lives was ensured, and then they ...... Naturally, it is to start Y, overthrow the dynasty, establish a new dynasty, and then repeat the cycle.

Judging from the survey chart jointly published by the M Fed and Harvard, the Federation is following such an old path, and the only difference is probably that the means are more secretive, and all exploitation, oppression, and blood sucking are put on a high-sounding and glamorous appearance.

The essence is still the same. Once the rich 'flee' New York, New York's finances will fall off a cliff, and the social system will collapse directly, and then it will be the government, Brooklyn, who will be unlucky.

When the resentment boils, they either bow to the rich and become lackeys, kneeling down to riches and returning to New York, or they are pushed out by angry New Yorkers and killed as sinners.

Either way, the rich will eventually return as saviors, giving New Yorkers a pitiful dog food, and social order will be restored, and it will be business as usual.

Maybe after a while, there will be a second Brooklyn, a second Frank and Winston, and the past will repeat itself.

Everything is like a cycle, constantly repeating and alternating, and the only constant is the status of the rich and the poor.

None of the four of them could say these words thoroughly, but they all figured it out to each other. Their eyes met and they saw a deep disappointment, which gradually brewed into despair.

Fundamental solution! Brooklyn suddenly thought of Ray. As a 'rich class', he wants to change, wants some greater self-interest, and makes a slight change, but there is no way to succeed, maybe the path Lei chose is the right one.

Perhaps there is only a complete overthrow, uprooting, and reshuffling. Problem solving. For a while, everyone was a little excited.

They don't claim to be good people, let alone play saviors, they are not so noble. I just want to build New York into the most solid foundation, and the slightest change will touch the shackles.

Anne patted Brooklyn lightly on the back. Brooklyn collapsed. He had never despaired of such a desperate situation as a meeting at the Manehattan Hotel.

Winston pinched the mountain roots and sighed loudly. Frank shook his head, grabbed a rib, and gulped down.

The ribs were already a little cold, and they were surging with a fishy smell. The days in October are not as hot as in May and June, and the temperature drops sharply at night.

After nibbling on a rib, Frank sucked on ten fingers, finally snorted his bare ribs, leaned back, and threw the ribs out.

With a click, the ribs fell off the plate, rolled half a circle, and rolled back again.

"Since you can't do it for the time being, then give them whatever they want." Frank said in a puff.

As he spoke, the muscles on his face twitched, his eyes were half-open and half-closed, and his eyebrows were tightly wrinkled, looking a little hideous, like a vicious dog ready to grab food.

"Let's take our time and wait until the day when we don't need to rely on them, and then settle accounts with them." Frank gritted his teeth, his tongue plucking a strand of flesh out between his teeth.

Brooklyn looked up just in time to see Frank's white teeth.

"The felons of the Metropolitan Penitentiary are happy to serve these rich masters."

"Those damn bed bugs are very interested in men with fine skin and tender flesh." Winston frowned, feeling a little uncomfortable with Frank's words, but didn't say anything considering that he was talking about their common enemy.

In fact, in essence, Winston and Frank are different from Brooklyn. By composition, Winston is closer to the rich, and Brooklyn and Frank are closer to the poor.

Wearing suits, watches, and high-end occasions cannot hide the recklessness in them. Frank bears a striking resemblance to Brooklyn, a ruined Brooklyn at the Manhattan Hotel.

People like Brooklyn and Frank want to live a superior life, and they are so ruthless that they risk their lives to fight for a future, civilization is just their disguise, once they abide by the rules and break the game, they will tear off the disguise and expose their true nature.

They are clay pots, and they can afford to touch them. But Winston isn't that far from Brooklyn and Frank.

He has more experience in struggle, has a clearer self-awareness, and correspondingly, when he should be open-minded, he can also be open-minded.

For example, in order to get rid of Patty Winston...... It can be said that Winston is an outlier among the rich. The only difference between him and Brooklyn is that the circumstances that require him to fight for his life are much more severe.

Winston doesn't gamble lightly. Frank's offer to stabilize the rich for the time being is a compromise proposal.

There is no better way but to compromise at the moment. The three of them did not continue to discuss the issue in depth, but instead discussed more details.

However, the three of them each remembered what they had just felt. The strength is not as good as others, they are willing to admit defeat, but they will not always admit defeat.

A few days later, A announced that a brand new TV show had been prepared and was about to start recording.

The show is an outdoor reality show, taking the audience to explore the daily work of various industries. The format of the program is to send two guests by the program production team, and the guests each select a guest from the audience registered on the official website of the program as a partner, form two groups, and select the industry through lottery for a one-day experience, during which the program team will invite professionals in the industry as judges to track and record the performance of the guests, and finally score according to the performance results to determine the winner.

The winner can choose to split the $10,000 prize pool or continue to participate in the show.

Guests can accumulate $10,000 in prize money for each win, and each time they win, they have the opportunity to choose to terminate the challenge, take away the prize money, or continue the challenge.

The final prize pool of the program is capped at 1 million, and the winner can share 1 million equally, and once the challenge fails, the prize pool will be cleared to zero, and the winner will start anew from 10,000 US dollars.

As soon as the format of the program was announced, it attracted a lot of audience participation. But in fact, what everyone values is $10,000 for each challenge, or $1 million for the final prize pool, and what everyone values is money, which has little to do with the show itself.

Experience life from all walks of life? Explore the most realistic living conditions in all walks of life? Sorry, not interested.

Chefs, waiters, bartenders, construction workers, baristas, corporate white-collar workers...... These are the daily work of everyone, what is the good experience?

But soon, the program team released a pre-release, which caused quite a stir. In the pre-film, two lucky audience members in the first episode stood in front of a large disc, and with the rhythm of the drum, the host uncovered the plastic paper with the program logo covered by the large disc.

Yankees assistant coach! Regional manager of a bank in New York! Governor of New York! Executive Director of a large company!

Head of the Marketing Department of the N Stock Exchange! …… The variety of bright and blind professions completely shocked all the audience. In the midst of a dense drum beat, the roulette wheel began to spin, about to turn more and more rapidly, and then the speed slowed down, and when it was about to stop, the screen went black.

The drumbeat disappeared at some point, and only a cheer could be heard. This concludes the pre-filming. As soon as this pre-film was released, it caused a lot of discussion.

A large number of viewers who originally came for the prize money began to be really interested in the show itself. Governor, Executive Director, Head of Marketing...... Is this the industry?

Is this what everyone thinks it is? This is far from what everyone thinks! Brooklyn looked at the heated discussion on the Internet and was convinced that their first step had been successful.

Winston's side moved quickly, and Frank's side wasn't bad either. Brooklyn's post-move neighborhood is a wealthy neighborhood with ample police allocation, and he can see well-dressed police patrolling the community almost every day.

The patrol patrol here does not drive, they use to walk. Not only that, the police officers will subconsciously straighten their backs when they meet the residents of the community, and if the other party greets him, they will respond with a smile on their faces, and enthusiastically ask about the recent community security situation and whether there is anything that needs to be strengthened.

Brooklyn was also questioned several times, and every time the officers met him, they were extraordinarily enthusiastic. This made him suspect that the police had a unique intelligence system within him, and that his relationship with Frank had spread throughout the system.

But that's before. Recently, it has been noticeably felt in Brooklyn that the smiles on the faces of the officers have decreased.

Judging by the frequency of patrols, there is no change, but if you look closely, you will see that many familiar faces are missing!

Brooklyn suspects that Frank is transferring the surplus police force to other substations to extend the patrol hours of the remaining officers.

In this way, it seems that the police presence in the wealthy community has not decreased. This was followed by an open house. Almost with the start of the A challenge program, various government departments suddenly announced an open day, inviting citizens to visit, understand, supervise the work, and provide explanation services for the citizens who came to visit, and after the visit, they will also receive a variety of coupons such as supermarket discount coupons and restaurant discount coupons.

In order to attract the public to participate in the open day, setting up gifts is a must. At first, Winston didn't take discount coupons and coupons into account, they were thinking about whether to do a raffle, get a car accident computer or something.

Following this line of thought, they roughly calculated that so many departments are open for visits, and according to the plan, they have at least 2 open days per month.

If the gift is a raffle, they simply can't afford to spend the money. If you don't set up gifts, who will participate?

Winston's assistant offered to send flowers to the visitors. The proposal was vetoed by Winston himself. Their main target group is the poor, the poor!

If you can't even eat enough, who still thinks about romance? Sending flowers? Can you eat it? Just when everyone was stumped by this little problem, one night when they came home, Brooklyn saw that Anne uncharacteristically did not turn over the file, but sat on the sofa with scissors and cut something.

Intrigued, Brooklyn walked over to look and found Anne cutting newspapers and leaflets to shreds.

After inquiry, I learned that due to the strategic direction of Anne Brooklyn Law Firm, most of the main target customer groups are poor or middle-class, and as a result, every time she receives clients for a period of time, Anne finds that the magazines in the law firm will disappear inexplicably, especially in the reception room, and sometimes the lawyers are too busy and need the clients to wait in the meeting room first.

As a result, the magazines in the reception room disappeared unusually quickly. Anne was puzzled by the situation.

Magazines are placed in the reception room purely to prevent customers from waiting to chat and to pass the time for customers. It's understandable to say that one or two people are addicted to reading magazines, and it's understandable to accidentally take them away, but it's a bit too much to say that all customers are addicted to reading them.

Anne consulted the law firm's lawyers, and soon learned that the clients were taking the magazine not because of the content of the magazine, but because of the various coupons on it.

This is not only the case for clients, but also for law firm employees.

The lawyers recruited by Anne Brooklyn are called volunteers, and most of them are from a variety of backgrounds. After receiving the answer, Anne came up with the idea of cutting out the coupon and putting it in a basket.

Centralize the coupons in the office area, employees who use who to take, how much to take, customers can also take it, but in the public, there is basically no situation of grabbing a lot, most of us are just those few meanings.

Anne's move has resulted in significant savings for the firm's magazine expenses. Brooklyn was inspired by Anne and immediately contacted Winston and Frank to share his thoughts.

At first, Winston thought that coupons and discount coupons were a bit 'cheap'. So Brooklyn proposed to try all kinds of 'coupons' for the first open day, and if the effect was not good, then think of other ways.
