Some things can't be hidden.

Not long after Lynch got home, Ferrar called.

Now some people already know that Ferrar and Lynch have a good relationship, such as the mayor.

This situation is very common. Everyone has his own circle of communication and friends, and he also knows what Ferrar is doing for, which is no different from his original practice.

As long as his interests are not harmed, he will not interfere with the communication between the two people. Sometimes they have such a relationship, but it is more convenient for the mayor to do something.

For example, now.

Ferrar declined Lynch's offer to get him some coffee or something, and directly asked, "what's the purpose of Edward looking for you?"

If such a question is not closely related, it can not be asked. Even if Ferrar can open his mouth, Lynch will not answer. Only when it is related, can he ask so directly.

Lynch asked the maid to get him a cup of coffee. He had drunk and now needs some coffee to wake up. In fact, he yearns for green tea, but there is no such thing in this world.

After a little thought, he said lightly, "he intends to advocate his own ideas and pull some people to stand on his side. They plan to talk to the trade union in a few days to see if they can solve the current trouble."

Hearing Lynch say so, Ferrar's expression was obviously dignified. There is no doubt that Senator Edward's private action is very despicable. This kind of thing should be brought forward by the city hall rather than a member of the State House of Representatives. He is not the specific ruling class of Saibin city. He exceeded his power.

What makes Ferrar more unhappy is that if Senator Edward really succeeds, he will gain a great reputation in Saibin and lay a successful foundation for his possible election as mayor.

From the current point of view, he is a competitor of the mayor. If he succeeds, he will make the mayor look like he has really done nothing and is stupid as rumored.

From the perspective of the future, he is also ferral's competitor. He has revealed his obvious purpose of running for mayor of Sabin, which will be a terrible opponent!

And this opponent has begun to act in advance.

"This news is very important..." Ferrar can't sit still. Once Senator Edward's momentum is made, it is likely that the results of the mayor's behind the scenes work will be regarded as the outstanding results of Senator Edward's work during this period.

He stood up and was about to leave, but Lynch pointed to the sofa and didn't let him go. "It's just a few minutes. I have a new idea. Maybe we can talk about it."

Ferrar looked at Lynch for a while and sat down again. "I hope your idea won't be too long."

This makes Lynch laugh, because Ferrar rarely complains. He does this job. He can stick to it until now. He basically won't complain any more, but he complains, which is very interesting.

After laughing for a while, Lynch's voice closed and became stable, "I want to win the power company."

Ferrar was stunned for a moment. "I'm afraid it's not easy to do. Behind the power company are the people in the State..."

In this way, businesses related to people's livelihood and with considerable profits often do not really become the business of some unrelated people. It has long become a part of the state's interest cycle.

Behind Saibin electric power supply company, there is another group company holding shares, and this group company has a very close relationship with the governor and senior leaders of the progressive party. It is not generally difficult to grab food from their mouths.

"But they obviously stand in the wrong place. The more like this, the more they should stand in the right place..." Lynch paused. He realized that it would not be so simple, but he didn't expect it to be so complex, involving the governor and the senior level of the progressive party.

After a little meditation, he changed his mind, "what if I set up another power supply company and deliver power to the urban power grid at a relatively low price?"

Ferrar thought for a moment and nodded. "Those people in the central power grid only talk about money. If you release some goodwill, they won't refuse your request."

Central power grid is a listed company. Yes, it is not a government agency. It is a joint-stock enterprise. In addition to central power grid, there are eastern power grid, western power grid, Southern Power Grid and Northern Power Grid. These five power grid companies were actually a family at the beginning.

Their predecessor was the federal power grid, but with the implementation of the antitrust act in the whole Federation, the federal power grid was split into five power grid companies, each with its own largest and most dense power supply network on its own territory.

And the power of these companies has not been transferred because the companies have been split. They still belong to a certain person, or a family and interest groups around a certain person.

Through various cross shareholding methods, in the eyes of the people, the trust group has been dismembered by public opinion and justice. In fact, they just changed their face, went deep into the people and mixed with the people.

Enterprises at this level do not care who supplies power for their power grid. They only care about how much money they can make, and with their energy, local governments can not easily interfere with their decisions.

A power outage in any city or even the whole state is enough for the leaders to take the initiative to put down their face and choose compromise.

Looking at Lynch's calm face, Ferrar couldn't help hitting him, "I'm not very optimistic about your plan. The Federal Environment Agency has rarely replied to the application for thermal power. Even if the local government interferes, they won't let go. You should be mentally prepared first."

The current power companies in Saibin city provide electricity from thermal power generation. In addition to various necessary energy sources, they also burn urban waste, which is also a popular way to deal with urban waste.

Especially in big cities, if a large amount of garbage is only landfilled every day, it can't be treated at all. On the contrary, incineration becomes much easier.

The parts that can be burned will be burned for power generation. Those that cannot be burned, such as metals, can be sent back to the factory. With the financial subsidies for waste treatment, the sale of electricity generated by combustion and various subsidies, power companies can still make money.

However, the pollution of thermal power to the environment is also a huge problem. The Federal Environment Agency has rarely approved the establishment of thermal power projects, which is useless even if it has a relationship.

After all, there will always be some poor people in every region. On some issues, they can resist the role of money. If they are not sure, the project can never be approved.

Lynch shook his head and did not talk in detail. He then let Ferrar leave.

In fact, his idea is not thermal power, but hydropower. He even wants to get involved in the water plant.

He heard Hart say that the lake beside Hart's houses he bought from the club land may be artificially expanded into a new water source in Saibin in the next five to ten years.

At present, the water source is almost full. Once the urban population increases again, the economy will improve in the future, and the population will concentrate in the city again, there will inevitably be a huge water shortage, so we must start a new water source.

A lake without flow can not become a water source. If it wants to flow, it must be drained and led out. If three or five small and medium-sized hydropower stations are built by using the height difference of the terrain, and the hydraulic companies are also involved, he thinks there is no problem at all.

As for the current hydraulic company, don't you agree?

That's impossible. Lynch, as a "representative" of dozens of households near the lake, said that they only agree that Lynch's company uses the water resources there legally.

The next morning, the situation in Saibin suddenly changed. The city hall announced to the society that 15 representatives of striking workers from all walks of life would be selected to enter the city hall and sit down face to face with the mayor to solve some of the current problems.

It seems that the emergence of this news suddenly makes the chaotic city a little quieter than a few days ago. It can be seen that everyone doesn't want to see things like this.

People are looking forward to the successful settlement of this matter.

Meanwhile, in buppen, the federal capital, there are demonstrations.

On the evening of November 22, some young people deviated from the procession without registration and explanation, and there was a fierce conflict in the confrontation with the riot police.

One teenager was shot four times and died on the spot. Another teenager was shot eleven times and died in the hospital.

Some young people have suffered injuries of varying severity.

Although the riot police at the scene claimed that these young people deviated from the route of the parade, tried to smash a store, snatch money from it, and made the act of lighting a burning bottle and throwing it at the explosion-proof police, people still couldn't forgive them.

"The weapon to protect people's safety has become a sharp axe in the hands of executioners to take the lives of innocent people!"

For a moment, the whole union was like a hot pot on the fire. The pot was full of boiling hot oil. At this time, a drop of ice water fell in the center and instantly boiled!

At the same time, members of Congress put forward a proposal to impeach the president again. Congress began to formally accept the presidential impeachment and entered the voting link.

Some public opinion began to speak after being silent for more than half a month. They believed that the biggest problem at present came from the federal presidential cabinet. The president was busy removing political dissidents and ignoring people's rights. He even deliberately connived at such things.

The whole Federation is full of arguments about the president's incompetence, and the Federation has become a joke of the whole world.

In the relatively calm international community after the war, people also need such news to adjust.

Of course, the parties themselves are not included here!
