Blackstone Code

New year, new start……

People's enthusiasm seems to be burning throughout the winter!

Led by Global Communication Services Company, it united some consortiums and big capitalists, and the federal government jointly signed a new bill on January 1st——

Federal Business Security Act

In this new bill, enterprises will be the sole responsible persons for employees’ pension and medical insurance and other issues.

It clearly stipulates the responsibilities that the enterprise needs to bear, as well as the responsibilities that the employees need to bear. Overall, the amount it pays is higher than in the past.

But the more you pay, the more you get. Not only do people not think this is a problem, but they also like this method of payment!

After all, the doubling or tripling of pension rules has really surprised everyone. What people talk about most now is how much money they should put aside every month to save.

And how to find the right job as quickly as possible.

As for the medical insurance account, although many people are paying attention, they are not particularly active because the medical account can only be accessed but not withdrawn.

The medical liability borne by enterprises is much less than the pension liability, which makes some healthy people less willing to deposit money into medical insurance accounts.

Some social activists also became particularly active at this time. On the first day of the new year, many newspapers discussed "how to make the most cost-effective deposit" discussion articles.

Bars, conference halls, small roadside parks, and various places where people can gather were all crowded with people shivering in the cold wind.

But there is not much sadness on their faces due to the cold, only endless joy!

"Mr. Lynch has really done a great thing. I know that Mr. Lynch is our most trustworthy person!"

A guy with a hat shaking in the cold wind was warming himself by the fire and talking loudly.

The people around him burst into laughter, and some people exposed his lies without hesitation.

"Last month you said that Mr. Lynch has become philistine and greedy like those capitalists, and that he is the most untrustworthy person."

The guy who praised Lynch was very thick-skinned and didn’t care at all about being exposed. He also said confidently, “You can’t expect a fool who didn’t even finish high school to understand what Mr. Lynch is doing, but no matter what I say, What I said before, Mr. Lynch is the person I admire the most!"

The atmosphere was joyful, and the seriousness of the elderly care issue had been fully exposed by the media, attracting the attention of the whole society.

Now that Lynch can solve this problem, and the method is so appropriate, people have no other thoughts but gratitude.

Moreover, it is said that the decision to have a pension account for children and grandchildren was personally proposed by Mr. Lynch.

Of course, considering that it still needs to be improved, Mr. Lynch also talked about this issue when signing the Enterprise Security Law.

He is considering communicating with companies next to turn personal security accounts into family security accounts.

The advantage of this is that the interests of each employee's family and the company are highly bound together, and the company has a large number of loyal employees.

Employees no longer have any other worries and can work wholeheartedly to create and realize value.

Lynch's speech in front of the camera was brief, but these few words sparked a wider discussion.

Most people think this is a good development direction. Even if employees themselves have an accident, their families can still enjoy this protection.

And once there is a job, it is like a kind of... that can be continued with the entire bloodline, which is different from the social welfare that the federal government is responsible for now.

No, it’s corporate welfare!

For the middle class, they may still be a little worried, but for the people at the bottom, this may be one of the few good news after the weather gets colder!

Still the most important one!

Everyone was chatting happily and thinking about a bright future. At this moment, someone suddenly interrupted, causing the originally lively environment to cool down.

“Have people from the union contacted you recently?”

The originally heated discussion came to an abrupt end, and everyone's eyes turned to the person who said this.

The man laughed twice and lowered his voice, "The people from the union came to find me, and I thought they also came to find you."

Then someone followed and said, "They also looked for me."

"In addition to urging me to pay my dues, I also want to organize a march to protest."

Then more people said they were contacted by people from the union.

The workers' union is one of the largest federal non-profit social organizations.

A few years ago, they claimed that they had eight million warriors. With the launch of the immigration policy, they did not know how many more warriors they had.

The easiest way for immigrants to integrate into the Union is through community volunteer work, religious beliefs and churches, and labor unions.

According to incomplete statistics, before the announcement of the Ice Age, the union had more than 11 million registered members!

This number is very astonishing, considering that the total population of the Federation at that time was only over 80 million.

In other words, one out of every eight people is a member of a trade union!

The sudden rise of the Socialist Party also gave the trade unions a lot of image points, but everything began to decline with the advent of the Ice Age.

After their final glory, a large number of factories began to go bankrupt or closed down directly.

A large number of workers lost their jobs, and it was difficult for workers' unions to play their role. They were unable to save the situation in an environment of overall market depression.

Coupled with the sharp drop in people's income, not everyone is willing to pay even a ten-dollar membership fee.

Moreover, the subsequent development of trade unions focused on parties, which also led to a sharp decline in trade union membership after the news of Ice Age was announced, but they had no good solution.

"They are looking for me too." The person who spoke first took a pile of firewood from the side and threw it into the fire. The flames became more intense.

He stretched out his gloved hands close to the flames to make him feel warmer. "They said they also built a shelter and hoped that I could join them."

"The union also has a shelter?" One participant looked shocked. "They just asked me to participate in their protest march, but they never said that they had a shelter!"

Someone next to him taunted, "Maybe they think letting you in will only make everything worse, in this era that's already bad enough!"

The laughter of the people dispelled some of the coldness, and they began to chat about some situations in the union, or speculate on what they wanted to do.

But no one knows what they want or how they will do it.

At this time, the Chairman of the Socialist Committee, currently the number one member of the Socialist Party, was sitting in a warm room.

The fire was crackling in the fireplace, and there was heating in the room, so it wasn't cold at all.

He sat on the sofa and looked at the documents in his hands. There were many ladies and gentlemen around him, sitting or standing.

These people were overseas capitalists who joined the Federation after the war.

Of course it's not because they like the Federation so much, it's purely to pursue profits and rely on the Federation's trading system that radiates around the world to find new business opportunities for themselves.

These people are very pure capitalists. They have no position or camp and only have interests in their eyes.

The union's shelter was built with their own money. Compared to building shelters elsewhere, it is obvious that the Federation's technology in shelter construction is more mature and advanced.

There is no reason for them to go back to their less developed country and build an isolated shelter that could be dangerous.

"To date, our shelters have enrolled less than 40 percent of our residents overall, which is far short of our original plans, and we are running out of time."

The speaker was a middle-aged man with a slightly strange accent, a foreigner.

He was one of the biggest supporters of the Socialist Party and invested a lot of money in shelters.

Their original plan was to recruit about 80% of the residents as soon as possible, and then the rest could be recruited slowly or from abroad.

But now they haven't even recruited 40%, which also means that they may only be able to recruit more than 50% or 60% of the residents in the end.

This completely fails to meet their original ideas and requirements, and more importantly, the bill signed by Lynch and the federal government binds residents and businesses together.

Nowadays, more and more middle and lower class people want to join official shelters rather than private shelters.

As for the middle class, it doesn’t matter where they are. What they pursue is environment and enjoyment. If they meet the conditions, they will give priority to official shelters.

"There are not many options left for us now. Either we continue to raise our recruitment conditions. In addition to free houses and free enough food, we also give them some promises in terms of social security."

"Either...we give up some unrealistic ideas."

The chairman of the Socialist Party Committee leaned forward and rubbed his cheeks with his hands. "Also, we must connect to the Global Communication platform."

No one knew what to say. They originally thought that private sanctuaries were like small independent kingdoms.

As investors and operators, they are the kings here.

If they have a refuge, they will have no shortage of inhabitants.

But now the situation has changed so much compared to the past two years that they don't know what to do.

Some people have even developed the idea that investing in their own shelter would be better than joining a better shelter.

Of course these people won't say it out loud, but that's what they think in their hearts.

If there aren't enough residents in the shelters, it's not just money being wasted.

The gap between reality and ideals is too big and not easy to accept.

"Can we consider uniting with other shelters to put pressure on the authorities? Lynch and his Global Communications are obviously engaging in a monopoly. I have already asked people to gather some workers and prepare to launch a protest march."

"If we can take advantage of antitrust litigation, is there a chance..."

The Chairman of the Socialist Party Committee shook his head, "Can you compare with the five major industries?"

People in the room remained silent. Who could compare to the five major banks in the federation?

Seeing these people being silent, the Chairman of the Socialist Party Committee asked again, "They have lost in all five major industries, how can you win against Lynch?"

"Antitrust sounds great, but...the federal government is now on his side, and it's impossible to achieve what you want by relying on this."

"And I heard some terrible news through some channels. It is said that Connor, senior leaders of both parties and some senators are shareholders of GlobalCom. Do you know what this means?"

His voice gradually became louder, "This means that they have long been united, Lynch, and the federal government."

"What they showed us was all their tricks. They had already discussed everything."

"So we don't have many options now."

"It's either compromise or self-isolation, but do you think ... if we pursue a policy of isolation like the federation did before, our residents will agree?"

“Who do we sell the goods we produce?”

"Who can provide us with raw materials?"

"You can't do this, and neither can I, so in the end we will all be the same as those big consortiums, acquiescing to Global Communication's right to rule the future!"

At this time, a gentleman couldn't help but said, "But Lynch and Global Communications are reducing our influence, if they really completely bind workers to companies, or completely bind workers' families to companies."

"The trade unions will have no value of existence, and the Socialist Party will have no value of existence. Are you aware of this problem?"

"Mr.president!"

The Chairman of the Socialist Party nodded heavily, "Yes, yes, I have considered this issue a long time ago. They are 'de-unionising' and building a 'core enterprise system', but as I just said, Do we have the ability to resist?”

He looked at everyone, and almost everyone couldn't look at him. Only one or two people said unwillingly, "We can try."

"Of course you can try it. This is your right. I also support you to try it because I know the result now!"

"In fact, rather than continuing to maintain the union and the Socialist Party, I hope we can transform immediately."

"Lynch has made it very clear that the future is dominated by enterprises..."

He paused for a moment, feeling a little depressed, "This is the world owned by GQT. It's his world. We can't resist, so let's join in as soon as possible."

"Those big consortiums, big banks, they have actually pointed the way for us."

"Although I am very unwilling to do so, this is the only correct path available to us!"

The Chairman of the Socialist Party Committee is in pain. He has dedicated his life to the trade unions and the Socialist Party.

And with his own efforts, he pulled the Socialist Party, which had no presence in Congress, to the point where it owned two states and five senatorial seats!

Seeing that everything is getting better and better, the result is...

He was more unwilling than anyone, but he also knew better than anyone that they were no match for Lynch.

It was like this before, it is like this now, and it will be even more like this in the future!

Being born in the same era as Lynch is the tragedy of all careerists!

There is another chapter a little later, I have something to do tonight
