"First trouble, I intend to do import and export business, but I don't have import and export indicators in my hand..."

In view of the Conservative Party's isolation policy and fear in the face of war, they believe that exporting goods to or importing goods from a war country will involve themselves in the war.

At the beginning of the world war, this idea was actually the common idea of the vast majority of people in Baylor Federation, including the failure of the federal progressive party to reach an agreement on this issue, resulting in almost no difficulty for the conservative party to win the election.

It is precisely this policy of isolation. Even today, after the comprehensive armistice of the world war, the Federation's international trade with foreign countries has not recovered, and only some limited and irresistible trade is going on.

For example, it is difficult for ordinary individuals or companies to operate large-scale international trade in addition to this inevitable foreign trade policy of exchanging some commodities from other countries for raw materials that cannot be manufactured by the federation or not locally.

Here, we have to mention a special office in the conservative presidential cabinet government - the international trade approval office, which is subordinate to the Ministry of foreign affairs, but the Ministry of defense also has cross management power. This shows how vigilant China is about foreign trade.

The office has the final say on what commodities can be exported and what products can be imported every year.

Individuals like Lynch who want to live in export business basically don't think about it in a short time. There's no possibility. He doesn't even have a chance to work hard.

The mayor's eyebrows tightened slowly, and then grasped them tightly, which made the place in the center of his eyebrows wrinkle and fold together. The two eyebrows seemed to rise, with a feeling of not being angry.

In fact, most of the time, this feeling comes from his title, your Excellency the mayor.

If the frowning man is a tramp, maybe he is not facing awe, but shouting and swearing with dirty words and a shoe sole that may be stained with thick phlegm.

"I need to ask, but I don't have much hope. At least in the short term, when there is no change in international affairs policies, there is little chance."

He soon came to the conclusion that so far, many people have proposed to carry out international trade, but the world war has just ended. No one knows whether the war will sweep the world again because of an unexpected border fire.

Therefore, it will take some time to wait and see, but your Excellency the mayor did not tell the truth. At the top level of the Progressive Party, it has been determined that the world war has basically come to an end.

It's not that everyone has become civilized. Most of the countries participating in the war have played a dog brain. They can't continue to fight unless they really want to subjugate the country.

According to the current world situation, war is to fight a country's overall strength. If the thickness is gone, it can't even afford bullets. What else?

However, the conservative party, which is based on the isolation policy and has achieved certain results, does not think so, or they have the same view as the progressive party. However, thanks to the peace brought by the isolation policy to the Federation and the political benefits brought by this policy, they are not willing to give up the policy until the influence of the isolation policy is fully realized into political potential, So it will take some time.

As for the interior, it has actually been loosened, but this loosening will never let ordinary people know. Don't watch the conservative president attack some "perverse reasoning" of the Progressive Party on TV all day. The leader of the Progressive Party also said on TV that the conservative president is a pig. In fact, the two parties still have some consensus on a certain level.

Ah, I forgot again. In fact, there are the federal socialist party, but it doesn't matter. They are used to being forgotten by people. Sometimes the newspapers only say "two parties", not "three parties".

If the mayor really wants to do this, he may not be able to do it, but he used his own kindness to do it for Lynch, and he can't get too much return. He doesn't think this is a suitable choice.

Sometimes politics is a headache, but sometimes it's so simple that it's just a knowledge bigger than the size.

Lynch was not too surprised by this conclusion. He continued to cut the steak with elegant demeanor and said in a casual tone, "if I can get the right to free trade, I can solve the employment problems left by riston group after its departure."

He imported a piece of fresh and juicy beef. When his lips and teeth were closed and chewed, the gravy splashed everywhere. It felt great. "Maybe there will be more. We can press down the unemployment rate. I also believe that the more this situation is, the more people are willing to work, don't you think?"

You don't have to ask. Everyone is willing to work if there is a job that is suitable... Or even inappropriate but can get paid. Even if it is tired and dirty, they don't care.

If they have a job, they can at least earn income and maintain a living. If they don't even have income, their wealth accumulated over the past ten years, decades or even generations will evaporate in an instant.

It's cruel, but kindness can't save the world.

"Is the profit of import and export business so large?", the mayor is a little creepy. If import and export trade can bring such a large profit, it may become an important policy for the Progressive Party to kill the Conservative Party cleanly. As long as the open policy is implemented, it is too simple.

Lynch smiled. There was something in his smile that frightened the mayor. In front of him, he was full of wax and combed his big back to make himself look more mature. In fact, the smile on the face of a 20-year-old young man was very much like some big politicians and capitalists he had seen, with a disdainful smile that penetrated the hearts of the people and the world.

But before, these smiles only appeared on the old man. Now, they appear on a young man who can be his own son.

Lynch put down his knife and fork, picked up his napkin and stained the juice on his mouth. The smile on his face has not disappeared from the beginning to now, but has become clearer and clearer.

He put his hands on the two corners of the table, leaned back slightly and stretched his upper body. He was about the same size as the mayor and was a little taller than the mayor. His current sitting position gave the mayor some surprising sense of oppression.

"This has something to do with my second trouble. Are you interested in listening?"

The mayor also put down his knife and fork in silence. He stretched out his hand to pick up a goblet and drink a little to ease the inexplicable tension, but when he saw the bright red liquid like blood, he took his hand back and nodded, "maybe I'll be interested."

"I intend to change the current employment mode, no longer bear the minimum working hours and other standards, and turn employment into cooperation..." Lynch's words made the mayor's eyebrows tightly grasp together again.

The minimum hourly wage law has been promulgated for many years. It will be amended every year according to the price level, and then publicized to the whole society. All business owners, factory owners and bosses who hire others must abide by this Law anyway.

Each worker shall work no less than 60 hours a week, but no more than 72 hours.

If the working hours arranged by the factory or work unit are less than 60 hours, except that the effective working hours are paid according to the hourly salary of the employment contract, other hours shall be paid according to the minimum hourly salary method.

In other words, if the factory employs a worker and doesn't let him work, he will be paid every month according to the standard of the minimum hourly wage method.

If it exceeds 72 hours, the salary will be paid according to the overtime hourly salary. At present, the minimum standard of overtime hourly salary in Bayer Federation is 120% of ordinary working hours, which is the minimum standard.

Generally speaking, this has greatly protected the legitimate interests of workers. When this bill was announced through Congress, all the working class and middle and low-level were elated. Some people even found their factory owners and business owners with newspapers and read the above contents to these hateful capitalists in front of them.

People say that this is a law that protects the working class. In fact, it also protects the capitalists. Of course, this is another matter.

Since the establishment of this bill, many people have proved that it is an untouchable bottom line with huge fines and bankruptcy. There is a guiding opinion of "punitive sentencing standards" in the judicial system of Baylor Federation.

When the court thinks it is necessary to give a person a heavy punishment to make him and the society realize that some mistakes can not be made, it will use this standard. Maybe the fine of only 10000 yuan will become one million.

For example, the original sentence of only one year suddenly increased to five or ten years, and the purpose of doing so is to punish and set a typical example.

Lynch's remark made the mayor a little nervous at once. An carelessness may trigger a series of things. Workers' demonstrations and protests may turn into mass demonstrations, and finally they may turn into riots.

We should know that although these people at the bottom of society are sometimes very poor, they often do some angry things. For example, they will attribute their misfortune to the unfairness of society and the unfriendliness of others. They will not find problems from themselves.

Lynch will trigger this characteristic of them. They will think that their unemployment is the inaction of capitalists and even politicians, even persecution. At that time, it will be another storm.

Before Lynch finished, he interrupted Lynch, "your idea is very dangerous, Lynch. If you are not careful, it will make a big mistake. At that time, even if I am willing to pull you, I can't pull you."

"There are some things you can touch. Even if you fail, people will forgive you because you are a young man."

"But there are some things you can't touch, whether you are young or intentional, as long as you touch, you will become a sinner!"
