Chapter 18 The Company Behind the Pot
Inside the headquarters building of the Gray Gu Company.
The mayor who was in charge of all the government affairs of Jin City and a group of local government officials sat in the luxurious reception room with a golden knife, enjoying the hospitality of the Gray Gu Company.
An expensive cigar was lit and then stuffed into his mouth, and the mayor of King City smoked the cigar and said without hesitation:
"Executive Officer Lu, over the years, the government has favored many parts of your company, and you are all looking at it."
"Now the whole world is in turmoil, the international situation is tense, if your company can take on some pressure for the government at this time, it is a situation that many people want to see......"
"Of course, you can also refuse, but at this time, the price that needs to be borne by the word 'refusal' is known to everyone in your company."
"We are all smart people, and we have cooperated many times, this time I came here with full sincerity on behalf of the government, as long as your company agrees to share the pressure for the government, the government will open more green channels for your gray Gu company......"
"I hope you will cooperate with this work as much as possible, and don't make it difficult for us to run errands."
The mayor of Jin City chattered and persuaded him, repeatedly emphasizing the purpose of their trip, and picking up good things to say, but the threat in the words was very obvious, but the promised benefits were also very refreshing, and he did not care about it as before.
He seemed to be somewhat familiar with the positions within the Gray Gu Company, and when he called Lu Yuan, he directly addressed the other party as an executive officer, which added a bit of a sense of demonstration.
After all, the so-called executive of a mere technology company, put together with their group of government officials, seems to be three cuts shorter for no reason.
And the government officials brought by the mayor of Jin City were all expressionless, all of them were fresh faces, and it was obvious that they were specially sent by the upper echelons for the current matter.
Lu Yuan glanced at the other party's battle.
The Gray Gu Company's foundation is based on the gold market, so it is inevitable that he will have an intersection with the mayor of the gold city in front of him, and he and the other party have long been old acquaintances.
The two sides often deal with each other, so this time, the Seris government has an urgent need to go to the place where the Gray Gu Company is, so the other party was sent over to discuss relevant matters with the Gray Gu Company.
What does the Ceris government need for the Grey Gu Company now?
Is there a technical need?
The Gray Gu Intelligent Machinery Production Technology and Standardized Alloy Production Technology that they had obtained from the Gray Gu Company before, these two technologies were enough for the Seris Kingdom to digest for a long time, so they didn't come this time to simply covet the technology mastered by the company.
If it's not for technology, then for what?
It's simple, two words.
Back to the pot.
This is also the key to the mayor of Jin City, who has repeatedly claimed that he wants the gray Gu company to bear the pressure on the government.
Today, millions of unemployed people in the gold market blame the reason for their unemployment on the gray Gu company that developed the gray Gu intelligent machine, which is a certain ignorance of those unemployed.
Now, however, the Ceris government sees an opportunity.
A chance to get out of the current stress for a while.
Today, in addition to a gold market, there are hundreds of millions of unemployed people in the country of Seris, and this number is growing day by day.
And it's not just the gold market, a city with a huge number of unemployed, that is in turmoil.
When chaos arises, it is necessary to resolve it, otherwise the chaos will further expand, which will further impact the social order and cause unnecessary waste of social resources.
To this end, the top brass of the Seris government came up with a stupid trick.
That is, by taking advantage of the ignorance of the people at the bottom, by guiding public opinion, the anger and resentment of these unemployed people are channeled to the conspicuous target of the gray Gu company.
By temporarily sacrificing the Gray Gu Company, the pressure on the government to create chaos caused by hundreds of millions of unemployed people is relieved.
In this way, they will be able to free up more time and energy and devote more resources to where the government needs to invest.
As for these areas that need to be invested, it is not known whether there is an economic subsidy for the unemployed.
And after Lu Yuan learned of the intention of the mayor of Jin City, he immediately realized that the Ceris government was going to push out the Gray Gu Company and use it as a cheap shield.
The pressure on the government is too great at the moment, and there is just such a suitable shield that can block those who are unemployed, so that the government can relieve some of the pressure, why not use it?
It is this kind of thinking that has contributed to the current scene.
Lu Yuan sat on the side, and beside him stood Victor and Professor Eureka, as well as several company executives.
On the other side, the mayor of Kim City sat indifferently with a group of expressionless government officials.
The two sides are like two symbols, representing some symbolism that cannot be seen by the naked eye, and it is also like two chess players sitting opposite each other.
Between them was an invisible chess game.
The content of the chess game is the future of a country, even a planet, and a civilization.
At this moment, the chess players on one side are not fully aware of the existence of the chess game, nor do they know the content of the chess game, let alone the direction of the chessboard, so they grope in the darkness and drop the chess pieces indiscriminately.
The chess player on the other side has already laid out everything that is beneficial to his side, and even the chess game is set by him, just waiting for the opponent to fall.
No matter how the opponent falls, what awaits the opponent in the end will be a mortal situation.
And the opponent will never know this.
The two sides in this chess game are either the Ceris government or all the superpowers on the planet.
There is no doubt that it is the gray Gu company led by Lu Yuan.
In this chess game, the winner will control the civilization and the future.
And the loser...... will be no exception, and will be cleared out without a son!
At the moment, the opponent has fallen into disarray.
Lu Yuan naturally couldn't help but take it.
The Ceris government wants the Gray Gu Company to bear the social pressure from the hundreds of millions of unemployed people for it, which is replaced by those who are mediocre and inactive, and naturally and neatly refuses.
After all, it's a thankless job, and no amount of benefits can be taken.
Hundreds of millions of unemployed people, one person and one mouthful of spit, is enough to drown the Gray Gu Company.
But Lu Yuan didn't hesitate too much, as if he had promised to do something inconsequential, and said casually:
"Yes."
"What did you say?" Mayor Jinshi, who was still chattering and planning to do enough ideological work for Lu Yuan, paused, he just spoke too fast, so that he didn't hear Lu Yuan's two words back.
"Yes."
Lu Yuan's expression was calm, and he repeated without slowness:
"The Gray Gu Company will bear the pressure for the government."
This time, he didn't make any further bargains with the government officials, and directly responded to the seemingly unreasonable demands.
Lu Yuan's move made the mayor of Jin City and the officials who came with him puzzled.
Why did the Gray Gu Company respond to the government so readily this time?
This is not at all like the blind profit-seeking style of the gray Gu company in the past.
Although it is somewhat unusual, since the gray Gu company is willing to take the blame for the government at the moment, this is a good thing to see.
Therefore, the mayor of Jin City didn't care too much about it, only glad that the purpose of his trip had been achieved, and at the same time, he assured everyone of the Gray Gu Company with some unease:
"Rest assured, the benefits promised by the government to your company will not be left behind......
This time, none of Lu Yuan and the other personnel of the Gray Gu Company responded to them, but they just stared at the Mayor of Jin City and the others with indifferent eyes.
It seemed that the people of the Gray Gu Company were a little hairy, and the mayor of Jin City felt that the headquarters building of the Gray Gu Company was uncomfortable, so he casually found a conversation, and after saying that he was busy with work, he took this opportunity to leave directly.
