In the other room, the mayor sighed as he sat on the sofa and took a sip of his coffee, suddenly asking, "Have the Ristoan's come yet?"
The Ristoan Group was one of the local economic pillars of Sabine, and was also a relatively well-known light industrial group of companies even within the Baylor Federation.
The company has more than seventy various brands of goods under its banner covering all aspects of people's lives, some of which have already become famous trademarks, of course there are also some that are just ordinary, but in general this is by no means an ordinary small company.
Throughout the city come roughly you have between 30,000 and 50,000 people who are providing services to the industry chain that is linked to the Ristoan Group, which itself is an excellent company standing up for the Progressive Party, and all of them have worked very well together over the years.
As a rule, whenever there was a small meeting similar to sharing the dividends from the community, Ristoan's representatives would always show up on time and do their best to show the leading role they played in these matters.
But this time, Ristoan's man didn't show up.
The other officer close to him shook his head, "I just called Neo and there was no answer on the other side."
The mayor nodded casually, not making more of a statement.
Niall was Ristoan's current president and one of the major shareholders on the board of directors, Niall, who had just celebrated his forty-fifth birthday, hadn't even traveled one-half of life's long and short journey yet, and his career had already crossed over to the pinnacle.
He and the mayor are also "good friends," but there have been some problems between them for some time now.
The problem stemmed from the Progressive Party's "arrangement" with HENG HUI. Before HENG HUI's collapse, Ristoan's idea was for them to take over HENG HUI directly, but this idea was obviously impossible.
It's true that Ristoan is one of the key supporters of the Progressive Party, but it's not like there's only one supporter like them, there are many in the state.
After the fall of a giant, everyone wanted a bite, and it was clearly impossible for Neo's people to take it all, including their so-called concessions to annex at least one-third of HENG HUI, which they had not been able to negotiate.
HENG HUI's downfall Ristoan actually also contributed a lot of power, at this time but did not harvest their plan at the beginning of the goal, this makes many Ristoan shareholders very dissatisfied.
Feeling betrayed, Neo immediately showed a different side than usual, and began to reduce the number of scenes where he appeared at the same time as the Mayor, and other Progressive Party politicians, and there were even rumors that he wanted to change his position to support the Conservative Party as a way of retaliating for the favors they had lost on the HENG HUI case.
The fact that Neo didn't show up and didn't send anyone exacerbated the strife among the people in that conference room outside the room where the matter was being discussed.
No one would wait to give up their favors to someone else, they were greedy and devious and wanted to swallow them first while Ristoan wasn't here.
Even if they had to spit it out in the future, not to mention whether it was disgusting or not, at least they got a taste of it.
The more they fought, the more the mayor realized the truth that in the face of these capitalists with their fangs bared, there had to be a predator even more vicious than them to stand their ground and suppress them, yes, a loyal dog that only followed the mayor's orders)
Otherwise, even if he holds a great deal of power, he may not be as obedient to them as those ink-scented bills in the face of huge profits.
The idea of raising a vicious capitalist of his own was rooted deep within the mayor's heart as soon as it appeared; if there really was such a person, would those people out there dare to constantly question his plans in front of his face?
There was no political persecution, there was no assassination contest, just by letting them feel the threat of bankruptcy, they would know how to put their tails between their legs and be a docile dog.
Inadvertently, the mayor's mind flashed through Lynch's young face, he didn't know why he thought of this young at this time, it might be related to the reminder from his personal officer just now, or it might be that Lynch had given him too deep an impression.
At a time when many young people were still indulging in seeking excitement and so-called happiness, he had already begun to do things that his fathers at the same age were unable to accomplish.
Could it be him?
The mayor sighed and smiled at the thought, drinking his cup of coffee in one gulp, he had rested enough, he needed to go out and face those flailing capitalists out there.
With a seemingly calm expression, maintaining his good mood, and these can not help but lick the sharp teeth ready to tear the prey as wolves like the capitalists around for a long time, and finally negotiated a result that everyone can accept.
All of HENG HUI Group's investments in Sabine will be auctioned off internally in a non-public manner, and the people who will participate in this auction are all of you here.
At the same time, these people also possessed a ticket to a bigger feast.
Sometimes the world is so cold, cruel, and disappointing, and maybe it has its reasons for having to function the way it does, but it still disappoints most people.
Before the meeting adjourned, the mayor talked a bit about the land in the middle of town, and he hinted a bit about a new development plan that might be in the works at City Hall in a planning cycle, a plan that might involve some changes in land prices.
That's why capitalists are frantically transferring money into political contribution accounts in every way allowed by law; they need to be rewarded after giving their cheap loyalty and expensive wealth.
Whether or not there was any purpose to the mayor's talk about it was unclear, but they would be watching and figuring out what it was all about, and they didn't mind making a small fortune along the way if they had to.
Time flew by and it was Friday, the lower classes didn't feel the changes in the upper levels of society at all, there wasn't really much change except for the growing number of unemployed people and the confusion at the bottom of society that made people start to get anxious.
Occasionally a police car would whiz by, this was probably the more intuitive change, police cars were pulling out their sirens more and more often, which also meant that the crime rate was quietly and rapidly increasing.
Lynch was arranging for people to set up the site of the stadium, the Sabine City Stadium could hold up to eight thousand people at a time to watch indoor events here, and it was interesting to note that it was not built in the first place for the purpose of watching indoor sports here, but rather for watching rugby matches.
It's not clear why a stadium that was built to give people a place to watch rugby matches has shrunk to an indoor stadium, but all in all it's quite satisfying, and at least Sabine City Hall has proved that they haven't forgotten to develop sports and care about the health of the people as they develop and build their economy.
Tomorrow, this place will hold this week's second-hand goods trading auction.
Some temporarily hired workers were setting up the venue, while Lynch looked at a group of young lads.
The likes of Richard and Wood had managed to get promoted to Sales Manager at Rotten Street, and behind each of them were some apprehensive lads.
These were young men they had gone to the job center and recruited without any base pay, any insurance, any guarantees, they weren't even considered Star Trading Corporation employees.
In order to avoid some legal problems, these people were Lynch's "partners", yes, they were not Lynch's employees, they were self-funded partners, so Lynch didn't need to have any actual employment relationship or behavior with them at all.
This solves some small problems for Lynch and circumvents the small troubles that extend from those small problems.
Of course, he would solve those problems, but not now.
Inspired by Monday's paper, the lads had a fairly easy time finding these suitable young men from the job center.
Lynch had told Richard and the others that a proper salesman must, above all, be outgoing, enthusiastic, have good organizational language skills, and be shameless enough.
He had even heard that during Richard's interviews he would ask some of the young men he looked at to get down on their knees and polish his shoes!
This is a shameless person, but it must be said that among all the people Richard is definitely the most in line with Lynch's mind to be able to play the role of the sales elite of this candidate, he has gradually grasped the essence of this industry!
Compared to Richard's cunning shrewdness, Wood is like a good luck kid, he quickly gathered some people, these people look a little dull, seemingly not too useful look, but it does not matter.
Wood is still young, he's the same age as Richard - it's not a joke, Wood and Richard are the same age, but reality is so exasperating, but it's reality.
That small issue aside, Wood's youth gave him more opportunities to make mistakes, and even if he was wrong this time, he would be able to fix it in time, if he was willing to continue all the way down this road to riches.
The others had each recruited some candidates as well, and they fulfilled the targets Lynch had given them the first time.
Recruiting these people wasn't easy, because they needed to "buy" seats. In addition to 1,100 of the 5,000 seats, the other 3,900 seats were sold to these salesmen at a price of five dollars each.
In other words, the moment they became Lynch's partners, not only did they not have any reliable guarantee and protection, but they had to pay as little as one to two hundred dollars or as much as three to five hundred dollars.
Not everyone in this day and age has this kind of vigor, and that's why Lynch praised the first batch of lads, no matter what they did, at least they mastered a certain degree of discourse, and were able to gain the trust of these people, which was the hardest, but also the most crucial first step.
Of course, as their boss, Lynch still had to mobilize and make a statement at this point.
He just stood ready to say something, Richard and Wood took out their small books, and one after another, the others all took out their small books and notebooks.
Lynch was a bit teary-eyed, originally he had only planned to talk casually, but now it seemed that he would have to teach these young people another lesson, for the sake of his soon-to-arrive $20, 000 land sale trading seat.
The lesson, he had already thought of, was called "Enhancing Customer Initiative".
