The people are dissatisfied with the mayor, and the capitalists in the city are also dissatisfied with the mayor. They are the last group of people who want to see social unrest. Once social unrest means that their business will fail.

The gathering held by rich businessmen said that it was to protect property and fight against illegal acts, but in fact, there should be some "ideas".

Lynch did not say anything, but stood quietly aside. Although people paid attention to him, it was obvious that the core of the party was not him, but the rich businessman.

He is not entirely right. In federal law, "entering a house" often refers to infringing on non business private territory, that is, residence. In this case, direct counterattack is protected by law.

However, there are still some technical and moral problems whether the business place belongs to the concept of "entering the house" and whether it can kill the intruder without hesitation. Let alone when the rich businessman mentioned his purpose of holding the party, in fact, this statement is untenable.

In order to kill those who robbed their property, some gunmen were specially arranged in the store. The jury would never give these people a good face. They would think it was a deliberate murder.

Maybe the gunman will be acquitted, but his advocate may be convicted of murder, so everyone didn't respond positively to what he said. There are few fools here.

He said for a while and saw that the atmosphere was good, so he began the main topic of the party, "speaking of these recent problems in our city, a man has some different ideas. Do you know Senator Edward?"

Some people nodded. Senator Edward is one of the members of the State House of Representatives. He has initiated some proposals on urban reform and often goes deep into the people.

What he is most proud of is that he has mastered the skills of blacksmithing and logging. He claims that he learned these skills from blacksmiths and loggers in order to experience the hard work.

People at the bottom are very fond of this. He is still famous in society.

But his plays didn't get into the eyes of the upper class, and a member of the State House of Representatives, to be honest, was very powerful, but it was limited to that.

The rich businessman was talking when someone knocked at the door and it happened that Senator Edward came in.

The rich businessman explained a little, "I have exchanged a lot of ideas and opinions with Senator Edward these days. I think Senator Edward is a very enthusiastic person about our life and our interests."

"Some recent events also made me realize that we need someone to speak for us!"

At this moment, people finally understood the purpose of the party. It was actually a political act. Some people were very interested. They really felt that what the rich businessmen said was no problem and had not changed so far.

Moreover, it has always been a tradition to invest in politicians. Politicians take the money of capitalists everywhere to increase their influence. As an equal price, once they get power, they should use these powers to benefit the capitalists who support them.

The most common is tax reduction and exemption. Of course, there are local policy preferences. These are what capitalists like.

Some people think it's boring. For example, Lynch knows something deeper. Senator Edward and his potential supporters have offended the mayor and the people behind the mayor.

Whether they belong to a party or a faction within a party, they will inevitably bury some small contradictions among themselves.

This is understandable.

For a party, resources are limited. Even big parties such as the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party and the socialist party have been subconsciously forgotten again.

Their resources can only be concentrated on a few people, while others can only fight on their own. One person in a blood path from thousands of bottom politicians may become one of these people.

Now the mayor of Saibin has won this position by himself, so he can enter the eyes of some people and become a part of the alternative.

The competition at the bottom is always cruel, whether for ordinary people, small businessmen or these "bottom politicians".

Thousands of small circles in thousands of rooms constitute the various forms of this society.

Among the many bad news, there is one good news. The drinking water company and its employees have settled. After stopping the water supply for two days, the drinking water company can ensure that there will be two hours of limited water supply time in the morning and afternoon.

The reason why it was settled was that the employees of the drinking water company found that they themselves had been hurt by the strike after two days of strike.

Others do have no water to drink, but there is no extra water in their own faucet. They can only reach a compromise after several rounds of fierce negotiations.

It's roughly two hours less work per week, the monthly salary rises by 3.5% based on the hourly salary standard, and there are three more paid holidays every year.

The workers are content to enjoy the legal strike holiday. They are not in a hurry to go to work. They have to build momentum for other strike groups.

Perhaps I saw Lynch standing alone. Senator Edward, who had just finished a topic, came over with a glass of wine.

At present, Lynch is a businessman who has attracted much attention in Saibin. In this countercurrent era, it is not easy for every enterprise to make money and ensure that it will not lose money. It is the kind that can stand up.

But Lynch's company not only doesn't lose money, but also makes a lot of money every week.

What is more incomprehensible is that most ordinary people have negative views on capitalists, but when Lynch comes here, many people are thanking him and his business.

Even the mayor sometimes needs to use Lynch's influence to publicize some things, not to mention that they plan to cooperate with TV stations and communication companies to open live auction and telephone auction!

If these things can really become a reality, everyone can feel that a terrible monster is being born.

The external valuation of Lynch's company has almost reached the listing standard. If they can maintain the "style" of continuous success in the auction in the state capital, more companies and individuals will invest in Lynch.

Getting Lynch's help is almost equivalent to indirectly getting the attention and even help of those behind him.

"Didn't you bring your girlfriend?" Edward took the initiative to walk to Lynch. He didn't despise him because Lynch was young.

Lynch turned and nodded slightly. "I don't have a girlfriend yet. You know, people like us always feel that time is not enough, let alone have time to fall in love."

He shook the glass in his hand, and the liquid in the glass shook a little, "maybe I will consider these things after I am thirty."

This is a very common prologue. Edward and Lynch touch the glass, "what do you think is our problem now?"

This is a very general question. Lynch thought, "communication."

If both employers and employees can calm down and sit down to communicate, rather than express their demands through such a radical way as a general strike, the problem may not be as serious as it is now.

But any problem has two sides. Maybe they have tried this before but failed, so strike has become a common means, because only in this way can capitalists listen to what workers say.

However, this general strike is far better than what has happened before in terms of scale, influence and destructive power.

Senator Edward pointed to lynch with a finger holding a wine glass. "You're right. Communication. So far, we haven't seen effective channels of communication. Appeals and speeches can't change any actual situation."

He is implying that the mayor's actions are meaningless, and it seems so.

He said with a smile on his face, "unlike Langdon, they are either academic (Shenghe alliance) or elite (famous university) politicians. They don't know what the people really want."

"And I..." he took a step back, and there were some movements in his hands. His body language was very rich, which made his words look more infectious. "I came from an ordinary primary school, an ordinary middle school and an ordinary university. I know what those people want, because I came from them."

In fact, this sentence is not true, because those real "they" can't afford to go to college, and the least who can afford to go to college is the middle class, at least!

His words changed, "I am familiar with the sub president of the trade union. These days, I intend to talk with them about the solution to the contradiction between labor and capital. If you have any needs, maybe you can say it together in the process of negotiation."

This is his way to attract others. He talked about the general strike face-to-face with the sub president of the trade union. Many people here are eager to end and return to work immediately. Senator Edward firmly grasped their needs and his chips are shining.

It's just that this chip is not easy to use here in Lynch, because he doesn't have many workers under his command. He only has a large group of partners!

Moreover, he never forces those people to work hard. His attitude is whether he likes to do it or not. His vital interests can always make these people give full play to their enthusiasm more than supervision. Money is easier to use than whip!

Lynch shook his head. "I'm glad you can think of me, but I don't have these troubles yet."

Edward was a little disappointed, but he was just disappointed. He didn't expect everyone to support him at any party. If he could really do that, he would have been the president.
