Blackstone Code

Chapter 209


Two companies specializing in the sale of industrial generators in Sabine City would never have imagined that they were about to file for bankruptcy and get out of bed. A blackout that swept the city suddenly came. There is no trace of defense.

Then those merchants appeared outside their shops in trucks, talking about purchasing Generator.

In the city hall in the center of the city, the mayor is talking to some city hall officials, including some businessmen, including Lynch.

“We want to ensure that the operation of the city is not affected by this strike. I need you to talk to the advocates or leaders of the strike. How to solve this problem, entrepreneurs Relevant cooperation must be done.”

“Other things can be put away temporarily, but enterprises related to urban basic life supply must resume work as soon as possible.”

“Power plants, water Factory, petrol station…, I will send some policemen to cooperate with you, if some people…”, the mayor scanned the Conference Hall, everyone could see his sullenness in his heart at this moment from his face, “Police Will take them.”

The factories he listed are all related to whether a city can operate normally. Once these most basic basic supplies cannot be guaranteed, the city will soon become The reason has entered anarchy.

If the information is not smooth, there is no electricity, and there is no water flowing from the tap, people will feel that everything is out of control. The rules that people abide by in the past disintegrate instantly, and the destructiveness of human beings in the bones is It will surface, and it will be a huge disaster.

The chief of the police station in the Conference Hall raised his hand, and the mayor frowned slightly and then stretched out. He raised his chin, “Mr. Chief, do you have any ideas?”

The chief of the police station is a middle age person in his 40s. He is slightly plump, that is, a little fat.

This is normal. The fat body of the federal police has become a potential practice. For one thing, they think that the fat police are more deterrent to criminals… Although they dont know Where did they come to the conclusion that the long-term non-exercise working style and too many high-calorie foods make it difficult for them to lose shape.

The Commissioner has an embarrassed expression on his face, “Your Excellency, I have no intention of offending, but the current situation in the police station is also very bad. I received a large number of resignation reports this week. Our current police force is fully Its not enough to maintain daily law and order…”

His meaning is already obvious. He and the police station do not want to be involved in matters related to the strike, and he also heard from the mayors previous words If someone does not cooperate, the police will take action.

This can easily anger those who are already on fire on strikes. When faced with these situations, the police are actually a vulnerable group.

At least those people dared to beat the police with their fists, but the police didn’t necessarily dare to shoot back.

If the trouble is too big, for example, if a policeman fires a gun or even kills someone, he will be bad luck in the end, but the police chief will also be bad luck.

Now that the days are so sad, he does not plan to change his job.

The mayor did not speak, but just looked at him, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, “We can let the militia or the army cooperate…”

Some people have obvious funny expressions on their faces. There is no doubt that once the military, even militiamen, enter the city on a large scale, it means that the city is already on the verge of losing control or even out of control, when the time comes It must be the mayor of bad luck.

He didn’t manage the city well, and he failed the party and people’s hopes placed on him. After the general election, he is likely to lose his current authority and become an unremarkable nobody.

So the mayor refused the request without the slightest hesitation, “Do as I said. You can put aside other things a little bit. I can understand your difficulties. Can you understand my difficulties? “

The chief of the police station nodded hesitantly and sat back, “Well, I will try…”

Just at this time, sitting in the corner Lynch raised his hand suddenly, the mayor glanced at him, and then nodded, “Lets see if Mr. Lynch has any valuable speech.”

This sentence is actually not a good tone. , But Lynch didnt care. He asked a question, Why not temporarily consolidate the management rights of the power company, water power company and energy company under the name of the city hall for unified management?

The mayor shook the head, “Private property is sacred and inviolable. This is written into the charter. The Federation will not support me in doing this…”, he said paused, “Is anyone else going to speak?”

In the Federation, except that the government and the army are the federal government, the overwhelming majority are private. In fact, the reason is very simple. The federal finances may not be able to support so many things by themselves, and they must be guaranteed profit.

The government is impossible to oppress and exploit the working class like businessmen. This is doomed to a lot of things that can only be privatized and operated by “black-hearted businessmen”, and only they can operate well and guarantee profits.

The simplest example is the public transportation company. At first, the local government was also responsible for this business. But soon the transportation company in every place began to lose money, and the local government faced a huge The problem.

If they reduce the number of vehicles and shifts they operate, the citizens will not agree, and if they continue to maintain the current operating method, the finances will not agree.

As for here, how to lose money is another matter. After Congress approved and amended the bill, the transportation company can be operated by local finance or handed over to a private company. Give certain policy encouragement and financial subsidies.

This approach greatly reduces government expenditures, and at the same time it can meet the travel needs of a city. So when more and more new things appear, the city hall will no longer consider government operations. The problem is directly handed over to the merchants.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Now is the time for the disadvantages to manifest.

The meeting lasted until more than two o’clock in the afternoon. The main problem was the rapid restoration of urban order.

To solve these problems, we must stop the strike.

If you want to stop the strike, you have to negotiate some issues with them, such as salary, wages, working hours, and adding more jobs. Nothing is easy to talk about.

On the way back, Jack deliberately avoided some streets with processions. Although he went around, he was still very quiet and safe overall.

“Do you know the route of their parade?” Lynch in the back seat asked. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and lit one.

Jack looked steadily forward at the road ahead, nodded, “Sir, these things are not a secret…”

Lynch raised his eyebrows, “Our community also Was affected?” Jack did not speak immediately, Lynch said with a smile, “We are just talking casually, no one else will know these things.” With such a guarantee, Jack nodded said Yes, “People from the guild contacted us, hoping that we can also contribute. They told us the time and place, as well as the length of the parade, but you know that we have to feed our family, so…”

“Understandable!”, Lynch indifferent expression’s nodded, sitting in the car looking at the bleak street outside the car window, he rolled the window.

The autumn wind blowing from outside the window was deeply chilled, and he couldn’t stand it.

Because he knows very well that these winds are blowing very cool now, but when his body functions begin to degenerate, he will pay the price for being cool at this time.

“Go to the Social Services Bureau…” Lynch, who was sitting in the back row, suddenly changed the location. Jack didn’t speak any words, and silently adjusted his route.

About ten minutes later, the car slowly stopped, some children suddenly ran out of the road, and some people were wiping the car with towels regardless.

Jack got off the car immediately. He did not scold these people to let them go, but patiently took out some coins and a two-yuan change, and asked those who wiped the car and some half-old children to thank them. After leaving.

While ensuring that no one would interfere with Lynch, he opened the door for Lynch.

“You are very good at handling this situation.” Lynch said casually while standing on the side of Mali.

Jack laughed, “I can understand what they think. Those who can come here are rich big shots.”

Lynch nodded his head and let him be on the side of the road. Waiting, I entered the Social Services Bureau alone, and soon Aser also came here.

“Register a new asset management company…” At Lynch’s request, Aser registered an asset management company named “Starlight Public Service in Sabine City”.

After doing all this, he gave a few more instructions and drove back home.

He suddenly realized that this is a very special opportunity.

Power companies can not only make money, but they can also add some “weight” to themselves.

These basic service companies control the operation of a city. Their speeches are on the society, and the official ears are louder than others, and the public is more receptive to them. .

Lynch believes that this time they are not in agreement, which also means that he has this opportunity.

On the other side, when the chief of the police station returned to the police station, he told the mayor’s requirements to the policemen, and then the police station fryed.

At 6 oclock in the evening, the mayor ended a busy and tiring work day. Now every days dinner is about to become his paradise for “escapism”. Only during this time period, no one Will say something that makes him headache.

Today’s dinner is made of top marine ingredients from the southern hemisphere, which Mark asked to bring over. For this reason, he also specially transferred a chef from Mark.

But at this time, a phone call made him lose his appetite at all.

The police… are on strike!
