Chapter 522 Helping each other is an obligation between friends
The same person, at different stages and in different states, will have many different ideas.

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

So when Lynch asked this question again, he would not think it was offensive, and nodded casually to express his thoughts, "I am not young, don't look at me as if I am very young now, actually It's only ten years before I'm called 'Grandpa' by some kids, and I'm called that even now."

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

He seemed to be emotional, as if he had comprehended some mysterious thing overnight and mastered the truth of the universe's operation, and thus became... wise, "It can't bring anything, power can't make me young, power can't Making everything work the way I want it to do, there are a lot of things that power can't do, and it tires me out."

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

"Actually, these are all the inspirations you gave me, Lynch..." The mayor looked at Lynch and smiled kindly, as if everything he said was true, "During this period of time, what you have given us Solved a lot of troubles, and also put forward a lot of constructive suggestions, such as family workshops, you are different from others."

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

These words can not be regarded as nonsense or scene talk. In fact, the family workshop promoted by Lynch has solved many difficult problems in family life. As Lynch issues more and more orders, there will be more ordinary families. benefit.

Don't underestimate the production cost of thirty to fifty cents or one yuan for each finished product. A family can get at least three yuan of net profit from it a day, which is enough for them to support themselves.

For the part of Lynch's praise, it's not all flattery.

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

No, he is a noble person, at least he is nobler than other capitalists, so the mayor's words are not flattering words.

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

The mayor was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a thing to exist in this world..., but his psychological quality is still very strong, "This is the reason why I can let go, and then I will leave this place to you."

He glanced at Ferrara, and he was indeed a little emotional. He didn't expect that Ferrara would be able to draw Lynch to be his reliance, otherwise the mayor might not be able to fall into the hands of Ferrara.

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

Speaking of this, the mayor glanced at Ferrara again and asked a question, "Lynch, is there anything we need to do this time?"

Lynch really nodded, "There are some, I need some information about daily necessities factories, and their current production status."

Looking at the mayor with a puzzled face, Lynch explained a little bit, "I plan to buy some factories to resume work. I can't let those workers really just idle like this. They have to 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 those ordinary people will benefit from it, but just use actions to show that “we are working hard”, he can get a high score.

The mayor hesitated for a moment, "You have to delay this matter a bit until after Ferrara announces his inauguration." Ferrara, who was sitting by the side, changed his expression a bit, obviously he 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 Pen kindness.

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 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 of the people."

The mayor said pointedly, "Even if you hold power, you are not without challengers. How do you say that?" He looked back at Ferrara, as if asking him.

The two are actually very familiar with each other. After so many years of cooperation, 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 Evil personified by mighty power, a scene from the opera "End of Days."

"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 adversary 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 terrible thought.

Is "I" really "just"?
Does the "justice" represented by "I" must also be "justice"?
Is "my" opponent necessarily "evil"?
Or is the opponent's "evil" just 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 put forward this statement at this moment, in fact, he wanted to tell Lynch something about the deeper situation here.

For power, for wealth, and 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. Challenges of justice to challenge his authority and status. Although Ferrara may not represent absolute justice, he will indeed be challenged by many.

Lynch nodded slightly, "I see, then let's do the preliminary investigation first, I may buy 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?"

Ferrara also looked at Lynch curiously. This is the mainstream voice in the current federal society. Nagalil is full of gold.

Lynch laughed out loud after hearing this, and shook his head while laughing, "Of course not, it's very poor there, so poor that as long as 100 yuan, you 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!"

In this way, the two may not understand, Lynch also specifically cited an example, "If you have a factory in your hand, and you are given [-] workers, and these [-] workers do not need wages, what do you think can make money? "

Mayor Langdon said without hesitation, "Make money by doing anything!"

Immediately afterwards, he suddenly realized that this was the case. He finally understood why everyone said that there was gold everywhere, and he could make money by working as a fucking engineering team. Anyway, the natives don't need any salary.

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

This is of course appropriate. In fact, it's not just Mark. Mayor Langdon also kindly suggested that Ferrara's brother should go to Nagalil with Mark to look for opportunities. He is very good at being a man.

The meeting with the mayor lasted for more than an hour, and then Lynch got up to leave.

Ferrara sent Lynch outside the city hall, a little embarrassed to apologize to Lynch for the mayor's proposal to let his brother go to Nagalil, "I didn't know he would say that, my brother will not leave federal."

"No, you don't need to say that. In fact, I hope that more people in the Federation can clearly understand this. There are many opportunities outside the Federation..." He took out his business card in Nagalil and handed it to Fei Lale, "If your brother gets over there, you can contact me, and I will arrange a suitable job for him."

Ferrara took the business card and kept it safe. He knew that this is a process that a politician must go through in his political career-the fornication of power and capital. You can't avoid this kind of thing, even the president can't avoid it, let alone Say 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!"
