When the dance progressed to three o'clock, the gentlemen and ladies reluctantly ended their heterosexual social activities and divided into male and female groups to mix in different spaces.

They have different topics to talk about.

At this time, Philip and several gentlemen around him had already clarified their views in the previous discussion. He carefully simplified the concept. At this time, he was able to clearly point out the disadvantages of commercialized suburban land and guide everyone's ideas.

After so many years in the Presbyterian Church, although he did not become an extraordinary person, he developed excellent eloquence.

By the time he spoke, the text had already been written in his mind.

"Indeed, the railway in St. Alvin Parish is a great advantage for urban commercial trade, but at present there is no need to do so. The occupancy rate of urban land is approaching saturation, and the construction of factories is bound to bring

Although the pollution of the rural environment is beneficial, it will inevitably further pollute the Nidalee River and the air that should be fresh. A large number of factories bring a lot of pollution. I know that you are all like me and do not know how to drink anything other than juice.

drinks"

Amidst the aroma of tobacco, he raised the wine glass in his hand to indicate that he and the gentlemen were traveling together, which made many people smile knowingly.

Although the branches of the Nidalee River that extend to the city are blocked, citizens still rely on this river for water. Everyone knows that domestic sewage will be discharged into the river, but this is unavoidable.

People with a little wealth will choose to drink alcohol instead of drinking water to maintain their health.

Philip took a sip of wine and continued: "But we must also understand that drinking water is still very important to the men who sell their labor. If they cause a collective epidemic because of drinking water, it will be difficult for us to stay out of it, because workers will continue to have accidents

, affecting production work. And medical treatment also requires a lot of clean water, which is a resource that everyone needs."

He is passionate on the outside but as calm as a snake on the inside.

The first thing the factory destroys is the living environment of the local people.

There were whispers among the gentlemen.

"Everyone can think about it, are we really a factory that produces scarce goods? What we lack is convenient transportation! You should have heard that I have recently been very concerned about the blockage of the river from the Nidalee River to our city.

Because as long as the river channel is dredged, many problems will be solved."

Second, the continuation of the family really needs to be maintained by this absolute long-term income. A person may only live for a few decades, but for his descendants, it is not difficult to wait until the income is equal to the investment.

Philip's proposal was so tempting, and the risk was not too great, that the gentleman who had previously had concerns about Carolingian's statement immediately decided to change his mind and support his proposal.

Three hundred thousand pounds, this figure made the gentlemen present collectively moved.

They are local family business managers, and of course they want to go out of the city to develop their business. But competition in other cities is more intense and it is not easy to get involved in profitable industries, while Sasha City, their hometown, is still an uncultivated virgin land.

, just right for departure.

In business, the relationship between competitors is the relationship between big fish and small fish.

Groene has assigned him to talk to the mayor about repairing the river, but the mayor has not relented yet. This may be the last major project that can be decided during the other party's term. If it is delayed until next year, the current mayor will step down and the new mayor will be replaced.

If it were not him, it would be his competitors who would never use resources to help the Presbyterian Church achieve its goals.

In order to complete Gronje's mission, he investigated many files, which he had legal access to in his official capacity, but for a long time, this information was ignored.

The gentlemen here are considered big fish locally, but they are not that big outside of Sasha City. It is not impossible for some people to consider harming the interests of their hometown in order to make themselves fatter and bigger. As long as this

It’s really profitable to do.

Carolingian could not always be an opinion leader, but his speech today truly represented the interests of some people.

"The conditions here are already much better than those in other cities. A slight deterioration is not that serious. Workers can save money here and then return to the countryside. In a few years, their bodies will be able to survive in the pastoral scenery.

Prepared."

Except Philip.

Although this trust cannot be said to exceed the trust in Philip, it has at least changed people's view of him.

The Pulitzer family's business is related to street lights and electricity, and Philip knows these hazards in detail.

Caroline Culles no longer took the locals seriously in his words.

The matter was thus settled, and no one looked at Carolingian again.

Yes, they want to make money, make more money.

Now Philip and Caroline were at odds with each other, and no matter what he said, he would be regarded as a supporter of one of them, adding limelight to the other.

Pure whale oil is non-toxic, but because of its edible characteristics, inventory is often lost, and the stolen goods are mixed into the food market and cannot be traced. In order to prevent this phenomenon, later whale oil refineries will leave the industrial whale oil factory.

A certain mineral fluorescent agent that is harmful to the human body is added beforehand. When the whale oil is burned, a large amount of toxic smoke will be produced, making people cough. If it seeps into the land, the land can no longer be cultivated.

"Caroline, don't think that I said this just to harm everyone's interests, because good ways to make money have already appeared, but it's just hard for everyone to notice." Philip put down his wine glass and looked around at the people present.

Although Drew, another mayoral candidate, was also present, he did not intend to express his opinion.

"If the pier can be reopened, I think the wetland will soon come to life because of your spirit. Restoring the waterway can provide at least 3,000 jobs and hundreds of management positions for the city, and short-term travel is cheaper than a train ticket.

It’s cheap. If you can support my proposal, I promise you won’t be disappointed.”

Big fish have the ability to eat small fish, and they will definitely do so.

Caroline smiled: "Then we will introduce new, stronger single workers. As long as we spread the word, there will be such people. At least there have been recently."

And when they really want to take a break, the money they have will ensure that they can go wherever they want, so they don't have to regret it.

If we can borrow the help of these people, we may be able to pass this project before the end of the year.

Philip was not angry at being interrupted, but was happy that he sent him such a question that he could answer just right.

An old gentleman with gray hair took out his pipe from his mouth and said worriedly: "It costs a lot of money to improve the river channel. How do we know that the future channel can make up for our investment? Your idea is good.

But I lived through a period when it was still in operation and things were no more prosperous then than they are now, otherwise we wouldn’t have abandoned the dock area.”

He paused deliberately, but the gentlemen did not take advantage of the gap to interrupt, but concentrated on listening to his next suggestions.

The poorest among them may not be worth this amount, and even for the Pulitzer family, it is more than one-fifth of their total assets.

"Now the city's wineries use local raw materials to make wine, and its foundation is also the grain industry. When cultivated land is converted into industrial land, all grain-related output will be reduced, and product prices will increase accordingly. Workers with families must

Choose between eating and drinking, otherwise drinking sewage will make them weak."

The pollutants are mainly wastewater vapor mixed with various industrial acids and metal particles, and refined whale oil leaks caused by pipeline leaks.

Caroline Culles stole the show today, which was beyond everyone's expectation. His confidence made people think seriously about his point of view.

The gentlemen laughed again, a smile without any malice.

He did not intend to continue with this idea, because Gronje did not seem to intend to move away, so he could only stay in Sasha City.

And when he was about to start the next sentence and the first two words had just been spoken, Carolingian interrupted him:

"Then why don't we sell them alcohol? I think they can still afford beer."

"Mr. Carolin Culles, let us take a longer view. The most prosperous cities in the world are suffering from the poison of air pollution, and other cities are also heading towards the abyss. I think if the city of Sasha can be in these

Retaining a little bit of primitiveness amidst pollution should be a precious treasure in cities across the country. By then, our value may rise accordingly, and we will be honored for protecting precious natural resources."

"You can't stop people from earning money to support their families just because of a good guess, Mr. Pulitzer. This is very immoral behavior. If you have this time to think, you might as well walk around the city and check the broken street lights. They are

It’s your responsibility.”

Philip took a breath, and his curly mustache stuck to his lips proudly: "As long as this proposal is passed in the city hall, the Pulitzer family is willing to invest 300,000 pounds in river dredging work. It doesn't cost much for everyone."

Money can lead to success, I think this is a calculated business."

Caroline laughed: "Our friend has some whims, he."

The most terrifying of these is refined whale oil.

First, Philip is running for mayor, and it is natural that he wants to do something big to build momentum.

Even if this investment is successful, it will take a long time to recover the capital from shipping.

But no one doubted Philip's intentions.

"I dare to say this because the ships at that time were not as fast as they are now." Philip replied to the old gentleman, not caring whether Carolinian had finished speaking: "How fast were the ships in the past? Twelve knots? Thirteen knots?

That is already outdated. Now we have 18-kilometer clippers. Think about how far they can travel. How many round trips can they make to the nearest city in a month? Even transporting coffin nails can be profitable. Besides."

The consequences of drinking wastewater pale in comparison.

Philip waved his hand and pointed to the north where the tributary of the Nidalee River is located.

Third, the Pulitzer family also owns overseas shipyards. After the river is dredged, Philip's experience in shipping operations will definitely support him to make a fortune first.

"What you said is very reasonable. What should the men who have no food to do now? Who will give them jobs? City people? They don't have jobs themselves. Now at least twenty people ask me every day, 'Cules

Sir, are you still short of men?'I

I had no choice but to reply to them 'Sorry, no shortage' twenty times. Then I watched them leave wrapped in clothes in the cold wind." Carolin took out a cigarette, held it in his mouth, lit it with a match, and then puffed out a puff.

Smoke, the whole time my eyes only stayed on the flame.

His gaze penetrated the crowd, and he saw the familiar expression of gnashed teeth and disrespect.

The two Culles brothers were cut from the same mold.

He showed a satisfied smile.

It seems that I am worrying too much.
