The first stop for Gu Xiangming's speech was in the industrial area of District 6, which is Ma Dongchang's voting district.
As one of the shareholders of the industrial zone, Ma Dongchang could harvest the votes of the workers just by saying hello. Moreover, it was during working hours, and not many people came to listen to the speech. The chairs under the open-air podium were half empty, and
Most of the people listening to the speech were old men and women from nearby residential areas. They came here just because the speech area provided free snacks and drinks.
Gu Xiangming walked onto the stage, looked at the old people gathering below to play cards and chess, cleared his throat and said loudly: "Hello everyone, I am Gu Xiangming, the permanent member of the Sixth District, and I am also one of the candidates for the Speaker of the Sixth District!
My idea of running for the election is to reshape order in the six districts and crack down on corruption and crime! Let the parliament be absolutely fair, just and open, serve the people with a new attitude, and create..."
Gu Xiangming read out his campaign speech in a mellow tone, but found that no one in the audience was listening to him. He simply put the speech aside and raised his voice: "Uncles and aunties in the audience, I know you are here.
I’m not here to listen to the speech, but since I’m here, I hope you can give me some time and let me say a few words!
As far as I know, you should all be residents of the industrial zone, which means that you have dedicated most of your life in factories, but those capital companies will not give you any social welfare guarantee! Your current living expenses,
In addition to the savings saved when they were young, they also have to rely on their children’s support. For those families where the whole family is unemployed, even eating has become a problem, right?”
An old man playing chess was disturbed by the sound and made a wrong move. He shouted irritably: "Aren't you talking nonsense! Except for those senior employees of big companies, how can ordinary people have any social welfare! This has been the case for generations of our ancestors.
I came here, do you still need to remind me?"
"But have you ever thought about why we have reached this point? Why do we have to work hard all our lives and need to save money when we are young to use it as a source of income when we are old and weak and have no labor force?
Living security? But those capitalists who sit in offices and think of ways to exploit us can live without worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. When they grow old, do you want your children to work hard to support them? "
Seeing someone quarreling with him, Gu Xiangming asked several questions in succession: "You were engaged in the hardest physical work when you were young, but you could only eat synthetic food to survive. Now you have health problems and you don't even dare to go to the hospital! Even if there is an emergency,
If you get sick, you are willing to pay high treatment fees to go to the hospital. If you meet a capitalist who has customized private services, you have to endure queue jumping. Their cold has a higher priority than our first aid?"
"Isn't this how the world has always been? What's the use of saying this?"
Another person was successfully aroused by Gu Xiangming: "We are just a group of ordinary people, how can we still fight against capital?"
"That's why I came to vote! You can't fight against capital, but I can! I can unite all the poor people in District 6 and use our cohesion to fight against capital! The previous speakers were all working with companies.
A pair of pants, they will only unite capital to squeeze you, but I am different, I will lead you to fight against capital!"
Gu Xiangming looked at the group of old people in the audience and vowed: "I promise everyone that if I can be successfully elected as the Speaker of the Sixth District, the first thing I will do is to end the draft that replaces manpower with machinery in all factories in the Sixth District. First of all, I promise
Your children all have employment opportunities! Secondly, we must strive for better welfare benefits for them! We must strive to achieve universal medical care and pension security in the six districts!”
An old man with some education in the audience choked and said: "I have listened to several speeches in the past few days, and you are the one who boasts the best! How can you solve problems that even the country cannot solve?"
"I don't know if you have studied the decree issued by the coalition government, but it stipulates that district-level councils have the power to formulate welfare policies related to people's livelihood and economy. Although the coalition government has not implemented universal medical care, this does not mean that
We can’t do it in District 6!”
Gu Xiangming is very eloquent: "In fact, our parliament has been introducing this kind of related welfare policies, but the beneficiaries are not you, but tax cuts for enterprises, and a series of conveniences are provided, and the money saved
, all went into the pockets of those corrupt officials! What I want to do is different from them. If I am elected, I will increase the collection of corporate taxes and transfer the money to people's livelihood! By then, all public hospitals in the six districts will
, will no longer set up private medical services, provide free medical care to everyone, and provide monthly living allowances to the elderly!"
An old lady playing poker in the audience was attracted by Gu Xiangming's remarks: "Can you really guarantee that you can do this?"
"You can find out who I am, Gu Xiangming! After I am elected, I cannot guarantee that all my promises will be fulfilled, but I will promise that I will spare no effort to work hard for my promises!"
Gu Xiangming looked at the audience with bright eyes: "In this era of solidified classes, we cannot change our status, but we can fight for our rights! What do you want to do to sell your votes for a few hundred dollars?
Continue to live in such a dire environment, or choose a brighter future! I believe this is not a difficult choice!"
When Gu Xiangming gave his speech, Wu Mian kept his eyes on the audience, but there was nothing unusual in his sight, and the result of the speech was beyond his expectation.
With Gu Xiangming's impassioned speech, more and more passing workers were attracted. The audience soon became full, and some people began to raise their arms and shout, and bursts of applause broke out from the audience.
Until the end of the speech, there were still many people in the audience who were still unfinished and unwilling to leave.
Gu Xiangming's promises are not very flashy, but they all hit the bottom pain points, and they are all very promising to be realized.
This result was also beyond Gu Xiangming's expectation. When he stepped off the stage, his confidence greatly increased and he said to Wu Mian, who had been with him all morning: "We have another speech in the afternoon. Let's find a restaurant nearby to eat at noon. I
Please!"
"Forget it, we'd better leave this area as soon as possible."
Wu Mian waved his hand and escorted Gu Xiangming to the parking position: "The speech you just gave was indeed wonderful, but you have already caused trouble. If you continue to stay in this area, there will be dangers that exceed expectations!"
