Blackstone Code

The same person will have many different ideas at different stages and in different states.

In the past, Mayor Langdon was willing to offend the governor rather than let go of the real power in his hands, but now his mind is changing rapidly. Contributing to the common people of the Federation is much more noble than being greedy for power, so society will naturally Feedback to him some concrete manifestations of value.

So when Lynch asked this question again, he wouldn't think it was offensive. He nodded casually and expressed his thoughts, "I'm not young anymore. Even though I look very young now, in fact, Just ten years from now I will be called 'Grandpa' by some kids, and even now some people are calling me that."

"I have been thinking seriously during this period, even if I hold power, what can power bring me?"

He seemed to sigh, as if he had comprehended something mysterious overnight and mastered the truth about the operation of the universe, and thus became... wise, "It can't bring me anything. Power can't make me younger. Power can't make me younger." Making everything go according to my ideas, there are many things that power cannot do, and it makes me very tired.”

"Next, I want to give my time to this country. Someone must do something for this country, good or bad, someone must do it..."

"Actually, these are all the inspirations you gave me, Lynch..." The mayor looked at Lynch and smiled very kindly, as if everything he said was true, "You have given us so much during this time. You solved a lot of troubles and gave a lot of constructive suggestions, such as family workshops, you are different from others."

"They only think about how much they can get from ordinary people, but you think about taking on more social responsibilities. Your selfless attitude towards this society moved me and helped me find the pursuit of life..."

These words cannot be completely regarded as nonsense or rhetoric. In fact, the family-style workshops promoted by Lynch have solved many difficult problems in family life. As Lynch issues more and more orders, more ordinary families will be affected by this. Benefit.

Don't underestimate the production cost of 350 cents or 1 yuan for each finished product. A family can get at least 3 yuan of net profit from this a day, which is enough for them to support themselves.

As for Lynch's praise, it's not all flattery.

These flattering words were so touching that Lynch almost believed them. If it weren't for the numbers in his bank deposit slips that were spinning crazily every second, he would have really thought that he was a noble person!

No, he is a noble person. He is at least nobler than other capitalists. In this way, the words the mayor said are not flattering words.

He nodded in agreement, "You're right..."

The mayor was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that there was such a thing in the world. However, his psychological quality was still very strong. "This is the reason why I can let go. From now on, I will leave this place to you."

He glanced at Ferral, and he was indeed a little emotional. He didn't expect Ferral to be able to recruit Lynch to become his support, otherwise the mayor might not be able to fall into Ferral's hands.

Regardless of the fact that he is just a mayor who is destined to "resign", this kind of opportunity does not come around all the time. Two years of mayor's work experience can make a politician's personal resume very good-looking, at least this is proof of the party in charge.

When he said this, the mayor looked at Ferrara again and asked a question, "Lynch, is there anything we need to do when we come back this time?"

Lin Qi nodded seriously, "There are some. I need some information about daily necessities factories and their current production status."

Looking at the puzzled mayor, Lynch explained briefly, "I plan to acquire some factories to resume work. I can't let those workers just sit idle doing nothing. I have to let them find something to do. Does this count as reducing the burden on the government?”

The mayor was not distracted by his last joke, which seemed to be a joke. He focused all his attention on the issue of Lynch's acquisition of the factory and the resumption of work. What Sabine City lacks most now is job opportunities.

If he can really do this, let's not discuss whether ordinary people will benefit from it. He can get a high score just by showing that "we are working hard" with actions.

The mayor hesitated for a moment and said, "You have to postpone this matter for a while until Ferral announces his inauguration." Ferral's expression changed a bit as he sat aside. It was obvious that he had also heard what the mayor said. talk.

But he could feel a... completely different situation from before, the mayor said this on purpose, in front of Lynch and him, and he said this on purpose, he was actually trying to let himself remember this A pen of kindness.

[Reading Welfare] Follow the public account [Book Friends Base Camp] and get cash/coins for reading every day!

Of course, Ferrara must also take the bait, because the mayor can not do this, but he still chose to give this opportunity to Ferrara, regardless of whether he is for the purpose of selling favors, in short, Ferrara must agree Come down.

"I'm about to resign soon. These things don't have any practical and specific meaning to me. Ferrara is different. He will stay here for two years. If he doesn't have any outstanding results, it will be difficult to impress this place. some people."

The mayor said pointedly, "Even if you have power, you don't have challengers. How do you say that?" He looked back at Ferrara, as if asking him.

The two are actually very familiar with each other. They have cooperated for so many years. Ferrara understood the meaning of the mayor just by making eye contact. He quickly caught up with what the mayor wanted to say, "Challengers will see everything Power is the incarnation of evil, this is a scene from the opera "The Day of the End."

"The Day of the End" is an anti-mainstream opera, also known as a classic among cult operas. It was banned by the Federation for a period of time, because this opera promotes a very special idea, that is, "I am justice. , my opponent is evil.”

This kind of thinking is very mainstream at the beginning and even now. The male protagonist in every cultural work is definitely a good person. No one will describe the protagonist as a bad person. But in the middle of the opera, another way is used to explain the A truly terrifying thought.

Am I really "just"?

Is the "justice" represented by "I" necessarily also "just"?

Is "my" opponent definitely "evil"?

Or is the opponent's "evil" only because they stand on the opposite side of "I", so they become "evil", and "I" is "just"?

The last hero of the opera became a demon, but those "demons" defeated by him became the heroes who guarded mankind. The huge reversal and the insinuation of the mainstream society in the opera made it popular while being labeled " "Cult" label.

In the era when "justice is absolute justice, and evil is absolute evil", this reversal of the plot made many people unbearable and at a loss.

Mayor Langdon made this statement at this moment, actually wanting to tell Lynch something about the deeper situation here.

For power, for wealth, for everything that can be called interests, people will go crazy. If Ferrara doesn’t achieve good results and doesn’t show Lynch’s attitude and support for him, people will initiate a rebellion against him. Justice challenges challenge his authority and status. Although Ferral may not represent absolute justice, he will indeed be challenged by many.

Lin Qi nodded slightly, "I understand, so let's do preliminary research first. I may acquire at least four or five factories..."

Mayor Langdon nodded after listening, and at the same time, he was a little curious, "We are just talking privately. Is Nagalil really full of money like some reports and people who came back said?"

Ferral also looked at Lynch curiously. This is the current mainstream voice in the federal society. There is gold everywhere in Nagaril.

Lynch laughed out loud after hearing this, and he shook his head while laughing, "Of course not, it's very poor there, so poor that a hundred dollars can buy a life."

"But there are rich people there. For our civilized society, the most expensive cost is labor, but for a poor, backward and barbaric society, the last thing they need is surplus labor!"

Maybe the two of them didn’t understand. Lynch also specifically gave an example, “If you have a factory and you are given a hundred workers, and these one hundred workers don’t need wages, what do you think can make money? "

Mayor Langdon said without hesitation, "You can make money no matter what you do!"

Then he suddenly realized that this was the case. He finally understood why everyone said that there was gold everywhere. He could make money by working as an engineering team. The natives didn't need any salary anyway.

When he came to his senses, he also raised a new question, "You know Mark, my nephew, he is not young anymore. I want him to find something legitimate to do. Do you think he can do it too?" Is it okay to go to Nagaril?”

This is of course appropriate. In fact, not only Mark, Mayor Langdon also kindly proposed that Ferral's brother also go to Nagaril with Mark to look for opportunities. He is a good person.

The meeting with the mayor lasted for more than an hour, and then Lin Qi stood up and left.

Ferral sent Lynch outside the city hall. He was a little embarrassed and apologized to Lynch for the mayor's proposal to let his brother go to Nagaril. "I didn't know he would say that. My brother will not leave." federal."

"No, there is no need to say that. In fact, I hope more people in the Federation can clearly understand this. There are opportunities outside the Federation..." He took out his business card in Nagaril and handed it to Fei Lale, "If your brother gets there, you can contact me and I will arrange a job suitable for him."

Ferral took the business card and kept it safely. He knew that this was a process that a politician must go through in his political career - the conflict between power and capital. You can't avoid this kind of thing, not even the president can avoid it, let alone Talk about an acting mayor who has not yet become mayor.

"Thank you for doing so much for me!" he said sincerely.

Lynch patted his arm, with the same sincerity, "We are friends!"
