Close Attendant Officer, this was the honorific title that people gave to the staff of a certain big shot, and it also reflected the special status of these people.
They had a close relationship with the big person, and to a certain extent they could sway the big person's thoughts and decisions, but at the same time they were less noticeable.
It's a very special job, but it's not all about the pros, there are also a lot of cons, yes a lot.
But now is not the time to discuss these things, Ferrell is facing a choice, Lynch's statement is very on point, and very simple, he does not need Ferrell to provide any services other than "consultant", and does not even need him to go to certain aspects of the voice of Lynch, he only need to occasionally answer Lynch's questions, or some of his own views. All he has to do is answer Lynch's questions or give his opinion.
This is a legitimate income, no one can say it is illegal, the purpose of coming here today is clearly to let Lynch compromise, but did not think ... ultimately to compromise is their own.
The atmosphere in the room fell into a kind of silence in the middle of the room, leaving only a gradually ragged breathing, Lynch looked at Ferrell, Ferrell looked at the check on the table.
He was going to give himself a reason that would solidify his idea, he was going to convince himself not to pick up the check, but if he didn't succeed in convincing himself ...
In fact, from the moment he started thinking about convincing himself not to pick it up, he had already lost.
Anyone knows that when people give themselves reasons, anything can be an excuse.
After about four or five minutes, Ferrell picked up the check on the table, folded some of it, and stuffed it into his jacket pocket, Lynch took the initiative to stand up and reach out his hand, shaking Ferrell's hand with some gratitude on his face, "With you on board, I'm sure that my company and I will continue to create miracles."
Looking at Lynch, it was as if he had wasted a lot of effort to convince Ferrell, and it was his honor that Ferrell could help him, but at this time, both of them knew in their hearts that this was the most difficult thing to grasp in this society, and at the same time, the most important thing-performance.
After the "thankfulness" was over, the two men resumed their seats, and by now the atmosphere in the room had vaguely changed.
"Mr. Counselor, I'm having some trouble ...", Lynch sat back and did, "I've been told that gatherings of more than fifty people in Sabine need to be requested in advance from the Department of Social Services, and the timing is such that we're already too late, so is there some other way we can solve this problem so as not to delay our Mobile auction tomorrow?"
At this moment, Ferrell deeply felt a powerful aura surging out of Lynch, seemingly elegant but actually furious.
He had met many people, the mayor, the top officers of various departments, some celebrities in Sabine, big capitalists, people of all shapes and sizes.
Some people did have some aura on their bodies, but none of them could compare to Lynch, who looked young, but gave people the feeling as if they were facing a big man around forty or fifty years old, who reigned over the federation and had an international reputation.
Just the language, the tone, the eyesight, the attitude, even a subtle small action, all gave people the idea of pro-uncontrollably straightening their spine and holding a breath.
He moved subconsciously, and it made him a little uneasy, but the check was in his pocket now, and something had changed from the moment he picked it up.
The reason he came here this time wasn't actually to find trouble with Lynch, on the contrary it could be said that he came to give Lynch a favor.
Perhaps this young man was not aware of how much of a storm those flyers of his had caused in this not-so-large city, even though it was just a belt, there were already a lot of people who were paying attention and were planning to participate, and there were even some places where people were discussing about it.
It was the first event of its kind like never before, with the free belt, the mayor's office outside of city hall - every sovereign has a private office separate from the federal government, an office that takes care of some other aspects of the sovereign's work and business.
Including some business behavior, this is no way out of things, in the Baylor Federation want to do something, the first can not be separated from the support of the President's Cabinet, the second is not separated from the support of the capitalists.
Without the support of the President's Cabinet some things there are ways, but without the support of capitalists ....
This side of the office noticed that Lynch this Mobile auction has caused some sensation, when the time comes there will be at least two or three thousand people to go to the crowd, it is possible that there will be more.
If the mayor wanted to gather so many people together, he might have to call on a lot of resources, including reaching some agreements with some capitalists, which wasn't an easy thing to do, and might take two or three months of preparation.
But Lynch was able to gather these people in only a week, and the office immediately had some ideas.
Sabine City, like other cities within the Federation, is facing a lot of trouble, the economy is in recession, the unemployed population is increasing, the crime rate is increasing, and the city restlessness is increasing ... The mayor already had some new ideas before this, and he was planning to have an open air public speech.
On the one hand, it was to boost the morale of all the citizens of Sabine, but at the same time, he would also announce some newly enacted policies to press the panic of the people.
Of course, Lynch's Mobile auction would not be the place for the mayor's speech, it was a bit too out of class, this was just a preview, at the same time, those handlers in the office had a further intention, that is, to describe this large-scale second-hand goods trading auction of Lynch as one of the mayor's promotion of benefiting the people's help.
The staff in the office have already discussed that this is a really effective way, even if the economy is in recession, people's desire to spend money will not be completely extinguished as a result.
Using some good and cheap second-hand goods to satisfy some people's potential consumption desire, not only can it appease the people's mood, but also solve part of the social problem.
What's more, they saw something on the flyer that people didn't pay much attention to, Lynch's company also recycles all kinds of second-hand goods to the society!
Whether or not revitalizing the second-hand goods economy can solve the needs of the grassroots is still a proposition yet to be verified, but at least it is a hope that the sky is gradually darkening, even if this "star" is not too bright, more or less, it can still blossom some light.
If Lynch and the others can do a good job, then there is no doubt that these will become one of the important achievements of the Mayor's administration of Sabine.
If Lynch can't do this job well, and it doesn't work out, or something goes wrong, it just proves a constant truth, that the formulation of policies are all good, but something goes wrong when they are implemented.
As for whether Lynch would say yes?
There was no need to consider this minor issue, they had already investigated Lynch, he had indeed made some money recently, but it was just some money, they could crush it with their hands.
Lynch's failure to apply for an assembly permit from the Social Services Bureau was just a temporary excuse, if he didn't agree, even if he postponed the Mobile auction, he wouldn't be able to apply for any permit as well as a venue.
There were really too many ways to threaten an ordinary person.
It just didn't occur to Ferrell that he had planted himself before the matter was even done, but soon he had a twinge of pleasure, if Lynch knew that when he came to know that his intention might not be a bad thing, would he be heartbroken about these five thousand dollars in his pocket?
He was looking forward to it, so he cooperated and said the answer to Lynch's concern.
As long as there was a series of publicity in conjunction with City Hall, when the time came, the City Hall side would send someone over to do an unveiling or something like that, positioning this as a policy that benefited the people, then Lynch wouldn't need to go to the Social Services Bureau to declare it - the City Hall's powers and functions were higher than those of the Social Services Bureau, and it would be enough to notify them afterward.
He also talked about some of the benefits of this, and then watched Lynch carefully, but he was destined to be disappointed.
Lynch didn't show any heartache over the five thousand dollars in extra expenses, he just asked another question, "Is it subsidized?"
This sentence made Ferrell froze for a moment, and he kind of wondered if he had just heard something wrong, leaning forward slightly as if he had come closer he asked, "I'm sorry, what did you just say?"
"I said there's a subsidy?" , Lynch slowed down his speech a bit and also made each spit more clear, "If the Mobile auction is treated as an act promoted by the city hall, or even an important decision, then there should be a subsidy in response, right?"
"How much, how to apply for it, and to whom?"
Suddenly, Ferrell felt that this consultant's fee wasn't so easy to get, and Lynch got him into trouble right off the bat.
