Blackstone Code

"It's settled?", the mayor withdrew his gaze from the window, he glanced at Ferrara, and asked, "How did the talk go?"

After returning to his office, Ferrara saw His Excellency the Mayor. At this time, the complex emotions in his heart were like a truck crashing into a chemical shop, and various reactions continued one after another.

The only thing that made him feel more comfortable was the check that belonged to him in his chest pocket. In fact, agreeing to Lynch might not be a bad thing.

The city hall does not provide wages for people like Ferrara, the wages are spent by the mayor's own private office. In other words, the mayor pays salaries for people like Ferrara, so this salary is impossible Too high, which is why his salary is only more than 500 yuan. It is difficult for the mayor to give him too high a salary.

In fact, it can be said that I can’t afford it, but it’s hard to give too much. The salary of Ferrara, a member of the mayor’s private office, including the expenses of the private office, all comes from political donations donated by capitalists.

There are also certain standards and requirements for the use of political donations. It does not mean that capitalists give the money to politicians, and politicians can spend it as they want. It has a relatively complete process and is also supervised.

If the salary of Ferrara, who is employed by the mayor's personal staff, is too high, the group responsible for supervising the use of the funds has the power to reduce Ferrara's salary standard, or ask the mayor to fire him.

This is a very rigorous, complicated and ridiculous process. To put it simply, after the capitalists give the money to the politicians, they must prevent the politicians from just taking the money and doing nothing. At the same time, they must also prevent the expansion of the greed of the politicians. So they thought a lot Heap methods to limit the use of this political donation, until certain requirements are met, this political cash can be withdrawn unconditionally to the maximum extent.

But before it does, it has to play by the rules, and many pairs of eyes are on them.

At the same time, this has also become the biggest weakness of staff like Ferrara, or a shortcoming in work.

Once they are fired for some reason, it will be difficult for them to find the same job. Even if they go to an ordinary enterprise, it will be difficult for the enterprise to give them a satisfactory job, so even if they have been wronged outside, they must Endure it as much as possible.

In the future, if one day mayors can realize their ambitions and ideals in politics, they may not have the opportunity to come from behind the scenes to the front of the stage.

In the history of the Federation, there are many examples of staff turned politicians. They helped their original employers realize their ideals in life, and they also gained enough experience. More importantly, they gained the friendship of capitalists.

With the support of capitalists and their experience, it is easy to succeed. This is why Lynch is a bit strong, and Ferrara did not resist.

It was too ugly at first, and Lynch patted his ass and walked away. People would only say that his political stance and the mayor's political stance were not on the same line, so he left.

But Ferrara is prone to problems. When people talk about Lynch, they also talk about the mayor. It is not a funny thing for a mayor to drive away a capitalist. This will make more capitalists vigilant.

In the end, it will only be Ferrara who will be unlucky. Not only he and Lynch will do this kind of acting, but the mayor will also-"I have wronged you for a while...", and then the rest of my life will pass.

If he doesn't do this, maintaining a certain degree of close relationship with Lynch will help his future plans.

Once he decides to run for a certain position, Lynch, who has a good relationship with him, can immediately become his supporter. The key to winning the election these days is not how capable a person is, but whether he can act. And how much campaign money there is.

The mayor was holding a cup of coffee, sipping it while looking at Ferrara.

It is true that he has a lot of work, but he also has a lot of staff. Including Ferrara, he has a total of four staff, and two young men who are responsible for dirty work.

Most of the time his job is just to bring everyone together, discuss the content of the work, and then complete his "homework" according to the results of collective wisdom, so in fact the mayor's work is not as complicated as people imagine.

What is really difficult to accomplish has little to do with his work on paper, and the objects of these works are all in society.

This time his staff found out about the second-hand commodity trading auction, and immediately realized the value of it, buying what people need with less money, or reducing the cost of shopping, which can save a family more funds.

With a reserve of funds, even if there are some difficulties in life, it will not be completely impossible to survive.

These are just the most superficial views. It is the word "action" that really makes the staff care.

When faced with some problems, most leaders always use words such as "being dealt with", "discussing countermeasures" or even "we can't do anything" to explain why no action has been taken yet.

Although most people don't expect their rulers to give corresponding solutions immediately, as long as they don't make things worse, they are already satisfied.

But sometimes people still feel dissatisfied and angry about the inaction and indifference of the rulers. Therefore, a successful politician and ruler must let the people see that they are not doing nothing when facing difficulties. Instead, do something.

The trade of second-hand goods is the best answer for the mayor in the face of economic recession. He can use this to send a signal to the people of Sabine City that he has contributed his own efforts to the city and its residents. Power, he's not a "zombie".

As for the result, if it is a good result, people will praise him without hesitation, from the civil society to the political arena, they will give him a high enough evaluation.

If it is a bad result, first of all, he has at least worked hard, and secondly, whether the implementation is in place, whether it is in line with his original plan, or whether there are some problems that lead to the failure of this plan, it has nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, he can also take this opportunity to accumulate experience as a kind of political experience and knowledge reserve, which can be used when necessary.

A perfect plan, and it didn't even cost him anything to make it happen, so why not?

Faced with the mayor's gaze, Ferrara nodded. He had sorted out his emotions and became calm, as if all the results were within his plan.

"I have already negotiated with Lynch, and talked with him about some more far-reaching things. With my help, Lynch realized the role of the mayor, you and the party behind you in Sabine City. He very much hopes to be with you You have dinner..."

When Ferrara said this, the mayor just smiled. There are more than 800,000 people in this city, but only one in 10,000 of them has such an opportunity. one of one-third.

Ferrara is well aware of the mayor's style of work and his attitude towards work and life, and he expected the mayor not to speak out.

"Lynch promised to build a second-hand commodity distribution channel covering the whole state with Sabine City as the core, and provide at least 500 jobs for the society at the beginning of next year. In addition..."

Ferrara took out the transfer check from his pocket and put it on the table, "In order to thank you, Mayor, and the Progressive Party for your help to Sabine City, he spontaneously mobilized employees to donate to you, hoping to help You also helped Sabine City."

The mayor raised his eyebrows, showing some interest. He took a look at the check, flicked it with his index finger, and then handed it back, "Give it to the accountant to enter the account..."

Political donations will be handed over to a special accountant, and then the money will also enter a special public account, which is nominally controlled by the mayor.

He paused as he spoke, "What did you just say?" Without waiting for Ferrara to answer, he asked himself, "Lynch wants to invite me to dinner?" A smile appeared on his face, "Tell me He and I agreed that for some young entrepreneurs with a sense of responsibility, as a local manager, I should pass on my not-so-outdated experience to him and help him avoid some detours.”

He raised his eyebrows, "Look at my itinerary and help me arrange it."

It can be seen that the mayor is in a good mood.
