"No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat" is a Chinese proverb, meaning that it's better than nothing.
Not even half an hour after Lynch checked in, the Mayor of Quriland's personal officer was already waiting outside his door, Lynch received him after changing his clothes, although the word "receive" is not appropriate here.
"Hello Mr. Lynch, I am Noah, I would like to represent me personally and welcome you to Quriland City ...", this proffessional officer called Noah looks like he is thirty three, fourteen, five years old, very spirited and quite handsome, with an unmissable temperament.
Sometimes people would always say that talent had nothing to do with appearance, but in reality, looking at the official officials of the entire Federation, there was not a single one of those public figures that was ugly.
The ugliest ones were just ordinary people, far from ugly.
From Lynch's point of view, he already has the temperament to become the next ruler, at least in terms of temperament, which Ferrell can't compare to this guy.
Of course, there's also the possibility that the local mayor and Noah have already had their way with each other, and the other guy will nominate him to take his place whether he moves up or moves on.
Although the nomination thing didn't have much intellectual value, and the mayor was ultimately elected by the citizens, with the previous mayor's nomination, as long as the current mayor was doing a pretty good job locally, the citizens would pay for his recommendation, giving the nominee a high probability of winning the election.
This is the best way out for people such as Noah and Ferrell, bar none.
Noah's aura probably came from the fact that this matter was already settled, which was why he was able to display such aura and aura.
Lynch shook his hand and invited him into the room.
He was staying in the best suite, and in terms of name, there was no difference between a business suite and a business suite, although there would be some differences in price, and those differences were in some optional items.
For example, requesting a larger parlor, requesting more independent study rooms, requesting more bedrooms or even equipped with butlers and secretaries, as long as these options were ticked, the room and environment of the incoming room would be very different.
Lynch had chosen arguably one of the best rooms in the Quriland hotel, sometimes Lynch didn't care about such choices but others did.
After the two sat down the butler the hotel was equipped with had the maid bring coffee for the two after inquiring about it.
Noah very enthusiastically talked to Lynch about the current anticipation of Quriland City for the Used Merchandise Mobile auction, "Ever since you guys started the official publicity, the citizens on our side have responded enthusiastically and are looking forward to it, if you guys don't come again, I don't know how to pacify those guys who think about running to Sabine City all day!"
It was obviously a joke, but not always.
Especially cheap goods had an irresistible appeal to many families who were currently struggling financially, and some of them got excited when they figured that they could still save money by traveling from Quriland to Sabine for the Mobile auction, buying the goods, and then shipping them back.
The "miracle" of the Mobile auctions, promoted by the mayor of Sabine, has spread throughout the state and half of the Federation, and everyone wants to see it in their city.
Many people within the Progressive Party are also staring at this policy, if after a period of time to prove that its existence is indeed able to solve the needs of the public at some level, but does not increase their cost of living and pressure, then the entire Federation will gradually appear all kinds of similar Mobile auctions of second-hand goods.
Of course, these Mobile auctions would not have much to do with Lynch, but the mayor of Sabine would be able to continue to enjoy the political benefits of being the "initiator".
After all, a second-hand goods trade boom that affected the entire Federation has the value to be left in the history books, no matter whether it's its era or its political characteristics.
And the mayor of Sabine, who was the initiator, would surely leave a place in history because of this incident.
Lynch will too, probably with this half-sentence description in a large paragraph - "With the help of businessman Lynch ..."
Lynch expressed a little gratitude for the support of the local government, without which the use of the site alone would have been difficult to negotiate without the support of the local town hall.
There will always be some inexplicable sentiments in this still simple and innocent age, such as the sanctity of the stadium, many people will never actually go to a stadium once in their lives, much less participate in a sporting event in one, but it doesn't stop them from recognizing the sanctity of the stadium.
For singers, having a concert in some famous stadium is the thing they aspire to the most.
There were so many things like that that when the Star Trading Corporation offered to rent the stadium it was immediately dismissed, they wouldn't allow vulgar commercialism to sully the city's most sacred symbol, and it wasn't until they had the backing of the city hall that a compromise was made on the stadium's part.
Noah smiled, "I didn't do anything too big of a favor, I just made a phone call ...", he said with a slight pause of a few seconds, giving Lynch an ample amount of time to decipher the meaning behind the words.
It wasn't someone else who had made this happen, it was him, Noah, who had made it happen himself, and he wasn't too good at coming out naked and taking credit for it, by taking credit for it first in such a rather self-effacing way.
A few moments later, he then continued to ask, "Can I ask a little bit, at the Mobile auction you're organizing this time, will there be some more special items?" , saying this he also explained with a smile, "I'm just curious myself."
What he was curious about wasn't any special merchandise, but whether it would be able to cause a stir again. In fact, the Mobile auction really caused a stir with the concept of "one dollar for downtown apartments".
The fact that even the Trade Newspaper covered the story in a corner with a piece the size of a child's palm is a testament to how shocking this kind of stunt is to the world in this day and age!
If a similar item was available in the city of Quriland, then this Mobile auction would undoubtedly be a success.
Lynch, on the other hand, nodded, "We have prepared two apartments and two new cars for the second and third stages of the Mobile auction."
Noah smiled as if he had satisfied his curiosity, and his topic began to go a little deeper, "I heard from some sources that you're planning to split the Mobile auction into two separate businesses, 'Trading' and 'Auctioning' ?"
Lynch glanced at him twice, very few people knew about this matter yet, but he didn't really care.
As long as there were two people who knew about a matter, there would definitely be a leak, either from this person or that person, besides, this matter wasn't something that needed to be kept secret.
He nodded very directly, "I intend to split the Mobile auction business into two separate businesses, the auction will continue the current system without change, but the trade fair will have some changes ..."
Noah listened attentively, not questioning Lynch's claims at all because of his youth.
"I've noticed that every city has actually had a few scattered locations for trading second hand goods over the past many years, mostly on the sidewalks of some streets, and many people wouldn't even know where to go to buy if they didn't happen to see them."
He sidestepped the more detailed situation that in reality the vendors who set up along the sidewalks and appear to be saying they are selling second-hand goods are in fact selling stolen goods from thieves.
Thieves don't have good outlets for the stuff they steal, and antique stores can get a hundred dollars down to ten and will threaten those thieves.
And the real pawnshops, they don't recycle this kind of worthless things, in Baylor Federation, the business places with the nature of pawnshops, they only recycle the luxury goods and out of the second-hand luxury goods, and they are not interested in the ordinary commodities at all.
This caused a lot of thieves without channels to sell their stolen goods to have to find a place to set up a stall to sell those things, they wouldn't have a fixed time and place, unless they were too safe for them.
This behavior also creates uncertainty and instability, and sometimes legal implications, in the spontaneously formed practice of trading second-hand goods.
"I have an idea to create a distribution center that specializes in second-hand goods trading, so that it is easier to manage and more centralized, and anyone who has a need for goods but is stressed about money can easily find the right goods in our trading center."
"As the provider of the venue and some content services, we only charge some management fees to those who come to set up stalls for trading, while we ourselves also operate the buying and selling of some commodities, including the recycling of some goods."
Noah's expression was serious since the beginning when he heard this, he nodded, "Then building a place like this should require a large area, right?"
Lynch nodded a little, "It depends on how many people in an area have a demand for second-hand goods, but in total, it would need to be at least tens of thousands of square meters."
Tens of thousands of square meters was just an overall concept, in reality it would be less conspicuous if it was divided into upper and lower floors or one, two, three or a little more.
What Noah was looking at was actually something else, he would indeed get the nomination of the local mayor as Lynch had guessed, because the mayor was his uncle and he was actually starting to exercise some of the mayor's powers now.
This has been going on locally for a few years now, and Noah is seen by many as the "little mayor", but he's very competent, and people's attitudes and feelings towards him are positive.
He wants to make this happen because, in addition to it being a policy of the mayor of Sabine, he sees the real value of the second-hand goods market and the jobs that will be created by those lots.
It's not just Sabine that's having a hard time, it's the rest of the country, and the high unemployment rate has become a major headache for Federation politicians.
Tens of thousands of square meters of "open-air" market, even if it is just a few dozen or hundreds of jobs, for the citizens, this is the result of the efforts of the ruler.
As long as he makes an effort, no one will blame him even if the result is not good!
