The villain also has spring

Walked over gently, and kissed deeply on Su Dameiren's sweet and hot lips.After parting his lips, Wu Chen said in her ear: "When I got up in the morning, I did it again. So I came late."

Su Damei twitched her eyebrows subconsciously, but held back.

"Sit down quickly." As she said, she also thoughtfully arranged the bowls and chopsticks for him.

Compared with sweet talk and all kinds of sloppy eyes, it is better to give the most truthful answer frankly.This is the life experience Wu Chen learned from a strong female president like Su Dameiren.

"TT40, is there anything I don't know?" Wu Chen smiled and sat next to Su Yueming.Just a small move, Su Yueming's heart was instantly reassured.

"Yes, master." As he said, TT40 showed a photocopy of a rather old document.

After careful identification, Wu Chen found that this should be a letter of intent with a sense of the age, or called... a framework agreement, a memorandum?Anyway, it wasn't an American document he was already very familiar with.Wu Chen paid special attention to the date of the signing, which turned out to be in the distant 1939.The parties to the contract are the New York City government and BMT (Brooklyn-Manhattan Subway Corporation).

"What's so special?" Wu Chen asked.

TT40 explained: "In 1932, the first line of the public independent subway company IND opened to traffic. After the opening, there have been constant voices to merge the three subway companies. After years of discussions, the relevant parties decided that the city government will fund the acquisition of IRT and BMT. After a long period of negotiations, the merger was finally successful in 1940. BMT, IRT, and IND became subsystems under the unified company. After the merger, the city government demolished the old elevated line and planned to build a new railway line connecting IND and BMT. However, the plan was postponed due to the outbreak of World War II. In 1953, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Agency was established to coordinate public transportation in New York. The connection between IND and BMT was transformed into Division B after several transformations. IRT was affected by tunnels and Station restrictions, unable to connect with the former two, become Division A (DivisionA).”

"So, the former two private subway companies, IRT and BMT, were finally merged and reorganized by the public IND to become the current MTA. And the three companies were finally integrated into two departments, A and B." Wu Chen quickly sorted out the clues .

"Yes, master." TT40 unfolded the age-old framework contract in detail: "But this contract was signed before the merger and reorganization of the three subway companies. There are some very special terms agreed in the contract."

TT40 also thoughtfully and directly translated many words and sentences with red lines into Chinese.

"...The Second Avenue Subway Line will be used as a prerequisite for the merger and reorganization... to be fully supervised by TWU..." Wu Chen immediately asked: "TMU?"

Wu Chen didn't see the note, so he didn't know what the abbreviation meant.

TT40 has already found the answer: "In 1934, employees of BMT, IRT, and IND jointly established the Transport Workers Union (TransportWorkers Union, referred to as: TWU) named "Local100". So far, there have been three strike records: the first occurred in 1966, and the strike 12 days. The second strike occurred in 1980, and the number of strike days reached 11 days. On December 2005, 12, the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority could not reach a consensus with the labor union on employee benefits and salaries, and the third strike occurred, but then The strike was stopped three days later (20nd) because the court ruled that the strike was illegal and suppressed public opinion."

Therefore, TWU is actually the abbreviation of the trade union jointly established by the three subway companies.

In the United States, the role of trade unions is very powerful.To put it bluntly, trade unions are one of the most important cornerstones of American society.

The reason why the trade unions are so powerful is that they shut down and go on strike at every turn.That's because trade unions hold a large number of votes.From the President of the United States down to congressmen, they are all very afraid of trade unions.Those who want to be a member of parliament or the president must support the trade union and protect the interests of the trade union in order to get enough votes.

What's more, the ability of trade unions to raise funds to support elections is also very strong.It can be seen from the fact that most of the votes in the Democratic presidential election came from labor unions, and about one-third of the funds were also raised by labor unions.

This framework agreement, which marked each key element by itself, is still valid today in terms of the logic of legal effect.However, because of its age, it is still unknown whether it can be related to the current law and continue to exert the binding effect conferred by the law.

So, this is actually a bug clause.

The three subway companies have already been reorganized into the MTA, which has become two subordinate subsystems.BMT, one of the signatories of the contract, no longer has independent legal personality. However, this framework agreement, which is supervised and implemented in the name of the TWU Transport Labor Union, is still partially effective.

The reason is simple. In the framework agreement, the supervisory rights of the TWU trade union and the performance obligations of the New York government are stipulated in detail.

And these two important organizations are still there now.

Wu Chen is not clear about the judicial system in the United States.I don't know if there are any similar cases in history for reference.Another concern, however, was: "The Second Avenue subway line?"

Second Avenue Subway (Second Avenue Subway, referred to as: SAS).

This route was planned as early as the 1920s.But unfortunately, it was delayed many times for various reasons.Initial construction began in the 1970s, but was halted due to financial difficulties with the City of New York.Today, a small portion is preserved in Chinatown, the East Village, and the Upper East Side, but those tracks are too short to be officially used.

Wu Chen understood: "So, in 1939, the Brooklyn-Manhattan subway company BMT agreed with the New York City government to list the construction of the Second Avenue subway line as a prerequisite for the reorganization of the three subway companies. But because there is no specific agreement such as starting construction , Completion time limit and other detailed conditions, so the New York government can put it on hold indefinitely."

Su Yueming also found some historical clues: "The TWU's first strike occurred in 1966 and lasted for 12 days. Four years later, in 1970, the New York government tried the preliminary construction of the Second Avenue subway line. Later, it was forced to do so due to financial difficulties. Stop. The most recent time was 2004. When New York applied for the right to host the 2012 Olympic Games on behalf of the United States, the plan to build the Second Avenue subway line was put on the agenda. However, it was stranded because of the failure of the application. So after learning that the bid failed On December 2005, 12, the TWU broke out for the third time. From these time points, it is not difficult to see that the TWU has been working hard to wrestle with the government.”

Wu Chen was in awe: "This is the real trade union."

"So?" Su Yueming asked with a smile.

Wu Chen replied with a smile: "Find some time to meet the person in charge of TWU."

"Okay." Su Yueming replied softly.

The relationship between the trade union and the city government should be very complicated.For Wu Chen, who is accustomed to taking the upper-level route, it is obviously a very correct choice not to let the mayor of New York intervene prematurely.After all, the trade union is an organization that is relatively biased towards class brothers, and has a natural hostility towards the New York government that is on the opposing side.

The latest strike was ostensibly triggered by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's inability to reach a consensus with the union on employee benefits and wages.And there's no mention of the Second Avenue subway line.However, everyone knows that there are nothing more than two ways to improve the salary, increase income and reduce expenditure.As the real economy continues to slump and the unemployment rate remains high, since layoffs cannot be realized (you dare to lay off me at this time?!), then a new subway line has to be built.

So, for unions, the Second Avenue subway line is definitely the right choice.Of course, for the New York government, why not?

The number of people directly employed by a subway line is no less than a thousand.Radiation effects are more widespread.Being able to expand employment in the long economic winter is also a rare political plus point for the New York City government.However, a large amount of infrastructure investment in the early stage is a huge problem.If this is not the case, this plan, which has been proposed since 1920, will not be realized until 2016.Wu Chen calculated with his fingers, oh my god, it’s almost 100 years (this is the efficiency of pan-democracy)!

However, as a foreigner, Wu Chen can't go through the mayor of New York, can he?

Mrs. Web replied yes.

Her network is even stronger than that of the mayor of New York.

"Master, I'll arrange it right away." Without Wu Chen saying anything, the considerate Mrs. Weber took the initiative to embrace him.

Wu Chen agreed without hesitation.

Just when Mrs. Weber used her network to arrange this important meeting, Wu Chen's private phone rang suddenly.

The profile picture is the widow.

Wu Chen was taken aback.Quickly connected.

After a brief silence, the widow's voice sounded a little blunt: "Wu Chen?"

"Yes." Wu Chen understood that she had something on her mind.

"Can you do me a favor."

The widow speaks, it is her duty!Wu Chen took a deep breath before speaking steadily: "No problem."

"I haven't even said it." The widow smiled heavily.

"If I can't do it, my sister won't say anything." Wu Chen replied with a smile: "Obviously, I should be able to do this difficult problem."

"Okay." They are all smart people, and some things don't need to be said too clearly.Since the widow called Wu Chen, it is obvious that only he can solve this difficult problem.So she breathed a sigh of relief, and the widow said, "You know, I was born in the former Soviet Union...the red house."

The widow mentioned the famous Red Room (RedRoom).

In "Avengers 2: Age of Ultron", when the widow sister was enchanted by the scarlet witch's spirit, she flashed back some past fragments-that is, when she was trained in the secret base code-named 'Red House' in the former Soviet Union scenario.She also told Dr. Banner that the special training in the red house made her a super soldier and made her infertile.Another unintended side effect of this is that she never seems to grow old.

And the instigator of all this is the red house that trains orphans to become super agents.

However, the plot never mentions what kind of superpower she got in the red house.

According to the explanation in the comics, the Black Widow, like Captain America, was also injected with "super soldier serum", but it was produced in the Soviet Union (no side effects... never know).Her strength, speed, reflexes, and agility have all reached the limits of human beings.The sensory abilities are also at their peak, and the stamina is extremely strong.Of course, modern firearms can still hurt her, and even kill her.However, the widow's physical resilience is as unrivaled as her resistance to disease.Super Soldier Serum has a longevity effect, so after so many years, the widow sister still looks heroic, in the most beautiful golden age of a woman's life.

Wu Chen actually likes to follow these clues of characters hidden in the plot.Widow sister's is no exception.

So, when the widow mentioned the red house, Wu Chen became excited.

"I want you to meet someone." The widow sister hesitated to speak.

"No problem." Wu Chen readily agreed.

"My... teacher." The mystery was finally revealed.

"Who?" Wu Chen was taken aback.

"My dance teacher." Being subconsciously questioned by Wu Chen, the widow finished speaking hesitantly.

The widow once flashed back a clip of herself receiving ballet training in the red house.Obviously, this is also one of the many special agent skills training.Facts have also proved that there are still many children receiving secret special training in the red house.The widow is just one of them.And similar plans have been going on in secret.

However, why specifically mention her ballet teacher?

This secret plot immediately whetted Wu Chen's appetite.

"What can I do to help this 'dance teacher'?"

"Go to see her, and you will know when the time comes." The widow sister didn't say it directly.

"Okay." If someone else said that, Wu Chen would immediately think it was a trap.However, when the words came from the widow's mouth, Wu Chen naturally believed them.Perhaps, because the widow sister is a woman, she is more flexible and flexible than the so-called superheroes (refer to the performance in the Superhero Registration Act).However, Wu Chen couldn't remember who she had betrayed.

In other words, if the widowed sister really wanted to frame him, Wu Chen would also admit it.

"Okay, I gave her your phone number. If she calls, you must remember to ask her address. Remember!" Widow sister did not forget to tell.

"..." Is this kind of thing really reliable? Sister word.

"Remember?"

"...Remember." Wu Chen felt powerless all over his body.

After finishing the call with the widow, Wu Chen waited and waited, but he didn't wait for the call from 'ballet teacher'.Wu Chen didn't take it to heart either.Here, Mrs. Weber is completely efficient.A private meeting was quickly arranged for Wu Chen.A time and place were agreed upon.

It seems that the other party's mood is also very urgent.So, the next night, Wu Chen showed up on time on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

This is a well-known rich area in New York.

Although the style of the building is similar to that of Brooklyn, it is not the same as Brooklyn in terms of interior and exterior decoration or the degree of newness and oldness.These same old high-end apartments are well maintained.

Wu Chen is already a household name in New York.So without anyone's referral, he just rang the doorbell of the apartment on time, and soon someone opened the door for him.

"Hello, Mr. Wu."

"Hi, Mr. Riley." Everything about TWU, TT40 has been prepared.Wu Chen recognized one of the leaders of the trade union at a glance.

"Please, please come in." Faced with the private visit of the world's first-class super rich (no way, New Yorkers will subconsciously think of money when they see Wu Chen), the head of the labor union was a little flattered.

"Thank you." Wu Chen entered with a smile.

The style of a typical middle class home.The apartment is quite large and has a fireplace in the living room.

When the owner of the apartment led Wu Chen into the small living room, some important people from TWU were talking quietly around the desk.

"Everyone, let me introduce..." Mr. Riley coughed lightly.
