"The first problem is that I plan to do import and export business, but I don't have any import and export indicators..."

Given the Conservative Party's policy of isolation and fear of war, they believed that exporting goods to or importing goods from a country at war would implicate themselves in the flames of war.

This kind of thinking was actually shared by the vast majority of people in the Baylor Federation at the beginning of the outbreak of the World War, including the failure of the Federal Progressive Party to reach a consensus on this issue, which led to the Conservative Party having almost no difficulty in taking it. The result of this general election.

It is precisely because of this isolation policy that even today, after the complete armistice of the world war, the international trade of the Federation has not recovered, and only a limited number of trades that cannot be refused are going on.

For example, exchanging some commodities from other countries for some raw materials that the federation cannot manufacture or does not have locally, apart from this unavoidable foreign trade policy, it is difficult for ordinary individuals or companies to operate large-scale international trade.

And here I have to mention a special office in the cabinet government of the Conservative Party President - the International Trade Approval Office. This office is affiliated to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but the Ministry of Defense also has cross-management powers. This shows that the current domestic vigilance against foreign trade how tall.

Every year, what commodities can be exported and what commodities can be imported is decided by this office.

Individuals like Lynch who want to live in the export business basically don't think about it for a short time. Without this possibility, he doesn't even have the chance to work hard.

The mayor's brows slowly tightened, and then tightened, which made the places between his brows wrinkled and folded together. The two eyebrows seemed to be raised, and there was a feeling of power without anger.

In fact, most of the time this feeling comes from his title, Your Excellency the Mayor.

If the frowning man is a homeless man, he may not be facing awe-inspiring gazes, but swearing with profanity and a possibly phlegm-stained sole.

"I need to inquire, but there is little hope, at least not in the short-term if there is no change in international affairs policy."

He quickly came to a conclusion. In fact, so far, many people have proposed to conduct international trade, but the world war has just ended, and no one knows whether an unexpected border fire will cause the war to flare up again. sweeping the world.

So it will take a while to wait and see, but the mayor did not tell the truth. The senior leaders of the Progressive Party have already decided that the world war has basically come to an end.

It's not that everyone has become civilized, it's that most of the countries participating in the war have played out their brains, and they have no ability to continue fighting unless they really want to subjugate their country.

Judging from the current world situation, war is to fight against the thickness of a country's overall strength. If the thickness is gone, even bullets can't be made, so why fight?

However, the Conservative Party, which is based on the isolation policy and has achieved certain results, does not think so, or they have the same view as the Progressive Party, but they have benefited from the tranquility brought by the isolation policy to the Federation and the political power brought by this policy. For the time being, they are not willing to give up the isolation policy before fully realizing its influence into political potential, so it will take some time.

As for the interior, it has actually been loosened, but this kind of loosening will never be known to ordinary people. Don’t watch the President of the Conservative Party criticize some "fallible ideas" of the Progressive Party on TV all day long, and the leader of the Progressive Party is also on TV. It is said that the president of the Conservative Party is a pig. In fact, the two parties still have some consensus on a certain level.

Ah, forgot again, there was actually the Federal Socialist Party, but that's all right, they're used to being forgotten, and sometimes even the newspapers only say "two parties" instead of "three parties".

If the mayor really wants to do this, it may not be impossible, but he used his own favor to do this for Lynch, and he didn't get much in return. He didn't think it was a suitable s Choice.

Sometimes politics is a headache, but sometimes it is so simple that it is just a matter of learning.

Lynch was not too surprised by this conclusion. He continued to cut the steak in an elegant manner, and said in a casual tone, "If I can get free trade rights, I can solve the Ristorian Group for you and leave. What's left after that is the issue of employment."

He put a piece of tender and juicy beef into his mouth, and when he chewed with his lips and teeth closed, the gravy splashed, and it felt great, "Maybe there will be more, we can push down the unemployment rate, I also believe that the more we are now In this situation, people are more willing to work, don't you think?"

You don't need to ask, if there is a job that is suitable...or even unsuitable but can get paid, everyone is willing to work, even if it is tiring or dirty, they don't care.

If they have a job, they can at least have income, and at least they can maintain their lives. If they don’t even have income, the wealth they have accumulated over the past ten years, decades, or even generations will be evaporated in an instant.

It's cruel, but kindness won't save the world.

"Is the profit of the import and export business so big?" The mayor was a little horrified. If the import and export trade can bring such a large profit, then maybe this will become an important policy for the Progressive Party to cleanly kill the Conservative Party. As long as it is implemented An open door policy will do, which is too simple.

Lynch smiled, and there was something in the smile that made the mayor's heart skip a beat. The man in front of him was full of pomade, combed back to make himself look more mature, but in fact he was only 20 years old. The smile he showed was very much like some big politicians and big capitalists he had seen, with a contemptuous smile that understood people's hearts and the world.

But these smiles used to only appear on old people, and now they appear on a young man who can be his own son.

Lynch put down the knife and fork, picked up the napkin and dipped the juice on his mouth. The smile on his face has not disappeared from the beginning to now, but has become more and more clear.

He put his hands on the two corners of the table, leaned back slightly, and stretched his upper body. He was about the same height as the mayor, but a little taller than the mayor. His current sitting posture gave the mayor a surprising sense of oppression. .

"This has something to do with the second trouble I'm facing, are you interested in listening?"

The mayor also put down the knife and fork in silence, and he reached out to pick up a goblet to drink something to relieve the inexplicable tension, but when he saw the bright red liquid that looked like blood, he took his hand back, Nodded, "Maybe I'd be interested."

"I plan to change the current employment method, no longer assume minimum working hours and other standards, and change employment to cooperation..." Lynch's words made the mayor's brows tightly clenched again.

The "Minimum Hourly Wage Law" has been promulgated for many years. It will be revised every year according to the price level and then announced to the whole society. All business owners, factory owners, anyway, as long as they are bosses who hire others to work, must abide by this rule bill.

The working time of each worker shall not be less than 60 hours per week, but not more than 72 hours.

If the working hours arranged by the factory or work unit are less than 60 hours, except for the effective working hours, the wages will be paid according to the hourly wages in the employment contract, and the other hours will be paid according to the minimum hourly wage law.

That is to say, if the factory hires a worker and refuses to let him work, he must pay the other party every month according to the standard of the minimum hourly wage law.

If it exceeds 72 hours, the salary will be paid according to the overtime hourly wage. At present, the minimum standard for overtime hourly wages in Baylor Federation is 120% of ordinary working hours, which is the lowest standard.

Generally speaking, this has greatly protected the legitimate interests of the workers. When this bill was announced to pass the Congress, all the working class and the middle and lower classes were rejoicing. Some people even took newspapers to find their factory owners. Business owners, read the above to these damn capitalists in person.

People say that this is a law that protects the working class, but in fact it also protects capitalists, of course, this is another matter.

Since the establishment of this bill, many people have used huge fines and bankruptcy to prove that it is an untouchable bottom line. There is a "punitive sentencing/penalty standard" guidance in the judicial system of Baylor Federation.

When the court thinks that it is necessary to give a person a heavy punishment to make him and the society realize that some mistakes cannot be made, this standard will be used. Maybe the original fine of 10,000 yuan will become 1 million.

For example, the sentence was originally only one year in prison, but suddenly increased to five years, ten years, etc., and the purpose of doing so is to punish and set a model.

Lynch's words made the mayor a little nervous. If he is not careful, it may trigger a series of incidents. The workers' demonstrations and protests will turn into mass demonstrations, and eventually they may become riots.

You must know that although these people at the bottom of society are indeed pitiful sometimes, they will do some annoying things more often, such as blaming their misfortunes on the injustice of society and the unfriendliness of others. He will find problems in himself.

Lynch will trigger this characteristic of them, and they will think that their unemployment is the inaction or even persecution of capitalists or even politicians, and then there will be another storm.

Before Lynch could finish speaking, he interrupted Lynch, "Your thinking is very dangerous, Lynch, if you are not careful, it will be a big mistake. Even if I am willing to give you a hand, I won't be able to pull you back." move you."

"There are some things you can touch, and even if you fail people will forgive you because you are a young man."

"But there are some things you can't touch, no matter whether you are young or not on purpose, as long as you touch it, you will become a sinner!"
