Blackstone Code

The conference room was quiet. In fact, there were not only operators of small and medium-sized shelters, but also "undercovers" from some large consortiums. They also wanted to know what Lynch was going to say and what he would do next.

Lynch doesn't care about their behavior. Predators never care what their food thinks. Their ultimate goal is to put food into their mouths, not to chat with the food.

"Facing these large consortiums, large and very large shelters, you don't have much competitive advantage."

"Especially when they propose standards for shelters, you don't have any advantage."

"I'm not disparaging you, this is the fact, as long as they ask for the shelter to have its own independent power supply and heating system, and its own independent internal resource circulation."

"Seventy percent or more of the shelters here will be eliminated because they don't meet the standards they set."

"The more critical thing is that they can express their opinions on the formulation of standards in Congress, but you can only wait passively!"

"You will never be able to fight back, because you are like a mute in front of them, and you will never be able to let people understand your thoughts."

"And this is the problem we are sitting here today to solve."

Someone stood up and said, "Mr. Lynch, what are you going to do?"

"Let you represent us?"

"Or any other way?"

Lynch knew what this person meant, and he shook his head, "I can't represent anyone. The only one who can represent you is yourself."

“If you have paid attention to Slem’s business model, you know that we have very mature experience in cooperating with local governments in the Slem area, through the industry self-regulatory committee.”

"When we form a majority, when the power we gather can make people pay attention to us and respect us, we gain the right to equal dialogue."

"There are at least 300 or even 400 shelter operators here. Your combined power far exceeds the power of those large consortiums."

“If anyone is going to set standards for shelters, I don’t think it’s them, it’s us!”

In an instant, there was warm applause in the room, and people cheered. They agreed with Lynch's point of view, because Lynch's point of view greatly boosted morale!

"We need to form an industry self-discipline committee, composed of us middle- and lower-level practitioners. We are the majority in this industry, and we should have the final say on standards."

"We need to build new transportation systems around all shelters to ensure that every one of your shelters is on supply lines and emergency lines."

“We need to build a better unified trading system, instead of someone taking out old-era banknotes, someone using silver, someone using gold!”

"These standards should not be set by a few and obeyed by the majority, but should be set by the majority and obeyed by all!"

"This is what we are here for today, no one can stop us, because we are the majority!"

People stood up spontaneously and applauded enthusiastically. For these people, waiting for the standards to be formulated is indeed a very painful thing.

You don’t know what those people said in Congress, and you don’t know whether the shelter you spent all your savings to build is an “illegal shelter.”

The days of leaving their destiny to others to decide are too painful. Fortunately, now they have the opportunity to control their own destiny!

Lin Qi glanced at Momo, who turned on the microphone and clapped twice, and the conference hall became quiet.

"If you have no objections, today is a good day for the establishment of our industry self-discipline committee."

"Later, you will get a form to fill in your company name, relevant information about the shelter, and whether you agree to form an industry self-discipline committee."

"As long as more than a majority of people fill out the consent form, Mr. Lynch will personally register with the Social Services Bureau for the Shelter Industry Self-Discipline Committee and apply for approval."

The staff began to enter and handed out the forms prepared early in the morning to everyone.

Lin Qi saw some people leaving in a hurry, maybe to notify the representatives of the big consortium, or maybe to make a phone call, but he did not stop them.

These large consortiums will definitely know about this, and will definitely join in, and occupy a certain important position.

It would be meaningless if they didn't join in. Only if they join in and enter Lynch's "domain" can Lynch have a good time playing with them.

The game of capital has always been like this. Whoever can bring the other party into their home court has an inherent advantage.

Soon, no more than twenty minutes later, some people came in a hurry.

Their expressions were not so good-looking. After learning some things in detail, they also received the form from the staff.

The Industry Self-Regulatory Commission is a federal law passed on Lynch's initiative during Mr. Trueman's administration.

Its core is that the majority of people in an industry agree to form an industry committee, so the industry committee will have certain powers within this industry.

Formulating industry rules and setting industry standards are all things that industry committees can do.

It is like an "industry referee" allowed by the federal government, and the core reason why the industry committee can pass is that it has great benefits in limiting the unlimited expansion of giants.

In many industries, large capital is always in the minority, while small, medium and micro enterprises in the middle and lower reaches of the biological chain are the largest.

In order to avoid being swallowed up and become nutrients, they will naturally stand on the opposite side of the big capital forces.

There are only a handful of industry committees that are as united as Slem's. After all, it's impossible for every industry to have Lynch heavily involved.

The big consortiums can play their own game without joining, but once they don't join, it means they have lost basic control over the industry.

Therefore, they will definitely participate, be very active, and try to seek higher positions within the industry self-regulatory committee.

As the founder of the industry self-discipline committee, Lynch also has the most special position.

After about two hours, everyone had completed filling out the form, and there was no doubt that the Industry Self-Discipline Committee was established.

Lynch served as the first committee chair, and Lynch said he would petition Congress for shelter industry standards to be developed by an industry self-regulatory committee.

Rather than being formulated by the capitalists and consortia invited to the meeting at the enlarged session of Congress!
