Cosma Empire

After Scott's answer, there was a slight commotion in the venue. Many reporters began to write quickly, and all the cameras were aimed at him. Most of what he just said has been known to everyone for a long time, and official speeches can always be guessed. But his last sentence really made these reporters feel excited. This is definitely big news. Whether it turns out to be true or not, the mayor of During will be in the news for a short time.

Just like many merchants, criminals, or other professionals who can't get along in the empire, they often leave the empire after losing the soil and space for survival in the empire, and go to the federation to seek opportunities. Similarly, many similar people in the Federation will come to the Empire, hoping to rediscover the glory of the past.

Among these people, two types of people are the most striking. The first type is businessmen from the Federation. Especially in southern cities, you can often see some commercial institutions with the logo of the Federal Chamber of Commerce. These institutions are mixed, and some of them are legitimate. Businessmen, but there are also some bad businessmen mixed in. Some problems can be found more or less in the commercial activities they engage in and the commodities they sell. It's just that so far, after what happened, they will not take any further steps other than compensation.

The second type of people is the gang organization with federal people as the main group, or even the only group. They are the most common in southern cities. They occupy some blocks to engage in illegal trade, or sell some contraband, and organize skilled women to pay for the general public. Men solve some problems that doctors can't cure. Sometimes their approach is more excessive than the local gangs of the empire, because they are outsiders and need to show their minions to deter other gangs who think about them, and they don't care about making a mess here, because this is not the motherland that raised them .

Everyone has complained about these people for a long time, but due to the law and the degree of treachery of these people, so far there is no good way to deal with them, and it is difficult to find their criminal evidence.

However, after Scott spoke about the attitude of Mayor Dooling, everyone felt that Mayor Doolin was too courageous. He actually wanted to do things on his own that even the top officials could not do. . Undoubtedly, in the future, he will not only be a news figure, but also a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the federal people in the empire.

But I have to say that his words and actions really give people a sense of inspiration, and they should have done this a long time ago!

After a brief recording, another reporter raised his arms high, and Scott could tell the purpose of their speech from the expressions on the faces of these reporters. Some people have solemn faces, and these reporters’ questions may not be easy to answer; some people have excited faces, and there is no doubt that they seem to be making big news; ugly.

In the choice of Scott's gaze, he pointed to the ninth position in the sixth row, a reporter with slightly thinner eyes. The reporter stood up, glanced at the notebook in his hand, and then asked: "Your Excellency, press officer, hello, I am a reporter from Wenlelaisi Industrial Daily, and I have some different data here. Some people think that Officials may have concealed the real death toll, what do you think about this issue?"

Scott's face was calm, but he was actually relieved. These are the key test points that he drew the key points in the previous preview. Just as journalists have similar guesses about what the official press officer will say, the press officer will also have a preview of the questions that reporters may ask before the press conference.

"Hello, I think the question you raised is absurd. From the beginning of the collection operation to the present, I believe everyone has seen the wounded who were registered and sent to the hospital, and also saw the temporary storage of corpses outside the canyon. If your elementary school teacher is not lazy, you can go to the scene and count, or take our register and go to all the hospitals to count."

Scott offered him a hand to sit down,

He said calmly: "There are always some people who will hide in the dark corners and try to use such shameless acts as conspiracy to harm a just cause! The first thing we need to do now is not to consider attacks from the political arena, but from capitalists. The attacks come from a small group of conspirators. We should put all our attention on the search and rescue work, and hope that more people will be rescued. This is the brilliance of human nature and our ultimate goal. needs!"

"Honestly speaking, I feel very..." about your question, he lowered his head and smiled, with a sneer on his face, "You want to use the number of victims and their experiences as an attack on the city government of Odis City An excuse? Or is it used to achieve your other ulterior plots? You, the people behind you, and your problems are really shameful!"

Suddenly becoming the focus caught the reporter of the industrial newspaper a little off guard. He lowered his head with a flushed face to avoid the gazes from all directions. Yes, Scott was right, he was going to use a scary headline and an exaggerated number, supplemented by Scott's speech, to make a big news. But he didn't expect that the press officer of Odis City would actually say that about him at the press conference, leaving him no way out!

He will never know that he has been blacklisted, and no matter what happens in the future, this industrial newspaper will be excluded from the press corps.

The reporters stood up to ask questions one by one, and Scott answered their questions one by one, answering those who could answer directly, and secretly changing concepts if they couldn't answer directly.

After the press conference ended, Scott took off his coat and went back to his office to change into a set of neat and clean clothes. His shirt was already wet with sweat during the two hours just now. Facing the reporters from so many newspapers in the empire, he was definitely not as relaxed as he appeared. Answering any question wrongly, first of all, he would lose face to Du Lin himself and fail, he had no way out, and secondly, he would make Du Lin a buffoon.

Durin is not a good person. This is the consensus of all the upper class in Illian. After he killed Juan and those provincials who planned to parade, everyone knows that this guy is a bad person, and he is still a cruel kind. .

Scott soon appeared in front of Du Lin. Du Lin was on the phone. When he saw Scott coming in, he pointed to the sofa in the distance, and walked into the rest room with the phone in his hand.

At this time, he was talking with the chairman of United Construction Engineering. This was their fifth call in three days, and the results of the five calls were almost all reflected in this press conference. There are actually only three cores of this press conference. The first one is that Mayor Durin is selfless and willing to do what he can for all the people of the empire, and to take responsibility. He is an upright official.

The second is that Lianhe Construction is a responsible company. They are willing to compensate in accordance with the law for what they do wrong, and they will never avoid any fines, even if they go bankrupt.

The last and most important one is to conceal the death toll and reduce the death toll from more than 1,300 to more than 200. Of course, this does not mean that the deaths of more than a thousand people really do not exist, in fact they do exist. The families of these victims can also receive 8,000 yuan in compensation, but they will always be the unlucky "twenty percent". Under the guidance of public opinion, people will no longer pay attention to the number of deaths and whether these people have received compensation.

They will understand more clearly that Du Lin and United Construction Engineering have the courage to take responsibility and dare to face the disaster. This is equivalent to an advertisement for them that will spread to the entire Northern Continent!

As for why the death toll is concealed, on the one hand, if the real death toll is announced, it is very likely that the project running through the two mountain ranges will be stopped by public opinion. This kind of project that kills so many people in one accident is popular in many societies with a sense of justice. In the eyes of moral people, it is a scourge, and secondly, it is to raise the stock price of United Construction Works again. As a reward for concealing the death toll, United Construction Works is to build the railway for Otis City for free, excluding the cost of materials.

The people on both sides who keep their word on the phone summed it up and felt that this thing can be done, and what was supposed to be a bad thing will soon turn into a good thing. The benefits they gained through this accident far outweighed the benefits they lost !

This is a business, a big business!

After finishing the call, Du Lin came out of the rest room. He put the phone on the table, walked to the sofa and sat down, "How is it? Are you still used to life here?"

Scott nodded with a wry smile, "What else can I say other than 'adapt'? Go back? Of course not!" He straightened his back and asked with some concern: "You will be implicated because of this accident. ?"

Du Lin also nodded, "Of course, after so many people have died, I will definitely have a responsibility that I cannot escape. There are always some people who can't understand the minority standing up. In addition, I still have some enemies in the political arena of the empire. They This opportunity will definitely not be missed.”

"So you might be transferred?" Although Scott got Du Lin's promise, he still felt a little bit pained. "Is there any news about who will be the next mayor?"

Du Lin shook his head, picked up a clean apple and took a bite, it was crunchy, "You don't need to worry about these problems, on the contrary, no matter who comes, he needs to worry. In this city, he can How much actual power you get. You just have to watch something and call me when you need to, it’s as simple as that.”

"Can I ask a question?" Scott was still a little worried. After Doolin nodded, he asked: "They all said that Todd was killed by you? Is it true?"

Du Lin laughed, and then replied righteously: "No!"

Scott also smiled, "Then I'm relieved!" I want to chat about "Xma Empire" with more like-minded people, follow "hot web articles or rdww444" on WeChat to chat about favorite books with more book friends
