After lunch, Guo Yongren went back to his room to rest. Benjamin went to contact Pine. Edgar left in Paul's car and went to Riley Town to see what the attitude of the town was. Bowen went to inquire about the situation here.
In order to find out about the workers' salary situation, Frick went to visit his former dealer friends to establish relationships and pave the way for the next product to be produced by the company.
The town of Riley is located on an important road. There is a large population here, but the employment rate is very low. Apart from some farms, there are some small hotels. People in the town have nothing to do all day long. Things like fighting, theft and so on are
They keep popping up one after another, and it can be said that Mayor Tony has a huge headache, but it is very difficult to change this.
"Mayor, two outsiders are here to look for you." A young man found Mayor Tony in the only bar in the town, and drank to relieve his sorrows. Sometimes it is unavoidable.
"I'll go with you to take a look," said Tok, the only police chief in the town. There are only four policemen and one chief in the whole town.
"It's nothing important. I'll be right back when I go." After Tony finished speaking, he drank the wine in the cup in one gulp, picked up his hat and followed the young man out. Tony did things quickly and won the trust of the people in the town. This mayor
I have been working for eight years, so drinking a little wine or something is a sign of being close to the people.
The town government house is an old house from decades ago. I have always wanted to repair it, but there is no money. The town’s taxes only cover the basic expenses, and other things are not taken care of at all. Edgar and Paul, two people
Sitting in the room, waiting for Tony's arrival, I am not afraid of you stealing anything, because there is nothing valuable.
Tony came back and looked at Edgar and Paul. "You two, are you looking for me?" Tony asked. Edgar and Paul looked at each other. Tony smelled of alcohol and his image was not that good.
very good.
"You are..." Edgar said a little unsure. Tony smiled, knowing what his image was. It was normal for Edgar to have this reaction.
"Both of you, let me introduce you formally. I am Tony, the mayor of Riley Town." Tony smiled and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with both Edgar and Paul.
The two sides were polite for a while and then got down to business. Edgar explained the purpose of his coming. Tony's eyes lit up when he heard this. He knew very well that this was an opportunity to change the town. Those idle people had jobs.
The town's economy will be completely transformed.
But Tony was still very calm, and he was not the kind of person who would ignore everything when his head got hot. "Mr. Edgar, can I know what kind of company you are? You know, polluting companies are unacceptable to our town."
"Although our town is in great need of investment, we cannot trade the environment," Tony insisted.
"Of course, we are a food company. After building the factory, we will also produce food, not chemicals," Edger said with a smile. Tony felt relieved and thought for a moment.
"Mr. Edgar, can you really hire hundreds of workers?" Tony must ask clearly about this. No matter how many, as long as it can provide employment for 150 people, the town will become different.
"Mr. Mayor, we are still making choices. If we confirm the address, then I guarantee to recruit at least two hundred workers in the town. Of course, if there are not so many people in the town, we can only recruit from outside." Amity
Ge said seriously.
"What's the name of your company?" Tony asked. A company that needs hundreds of workers is definitely not a small business.
"Mr. Mayor, our company is a foreign-funded enterprise and has not yet been registered in the UK. However, it does not matter. We have registered it with the Oxford City Government. This is a copy. You can take a look. I believe the Mayor is in Oxford City.
There is also a certain relationship, you can check at any time to see if we are a scam company," Edgar said with a smile.
Tony also smiled and understood what Edger meant. There are a lot of scammers these days. Edgar must be right when he says this. Besides, he has connections and can check at any time.
After looking at Edgar's documents, Tony thought for a while, "Gentlemen, I need to discuss this matter with the people in the town government. I can't give an answer now," Tony said honestly.
"We know that our coming here today is a notice. I hope you can give me a reply as soon as possible. We are also going to visit other small towns around. You know, we have to choose the one that suits us best," Edger said with a smile.
.
Tony felt uncomfortable for a while. He really didn't want Edgar to go to other towns. Tony knew all the other towns around him and wanted to change them all, but there was no chance. Now a company is willing to come to the town.
When a factory is built, swarms of swarms will definitely rush in. Then there will be many competitors. Tony knows these beasts very well.
The mayors of small towns in the UK are all very personal and temperamental. They are not in the interests of the town. They even dare to reject the orders of the city government and parliament, and even dare to use guns. The city and even the federal government have no real regard for the mayors.
It's a huge headache. It's similar to the United States. The president of the United States also has a huge headache for governors. The law is like this, and there's nothing you can do about it.
"Mayor Tony, this is our address in Oxford. After you have the answer, you can contact us. Currently our chairman is in contact with the city of Oxford. We have other investments and time is limited. I think we need
"Goodbye." Edgar stood up and said. Tony had no choice but to stand up and send Edgar off.
"Mr. Edgar, please believe in the sincerity of Riley Town. We will have a result as soon as possible," Tony said when bidding farewell to Edgar.
"Of course, I like Mr. Tony's personality. *** Edgar said. Tony was very happy. The mayors like people to praise their personalities. The two parties parted amicably. Edgar went directly back to Oxford. Today is
To say hello, the first target is Riley Town. If it really doesn't work, we will consider other places.
Pine hung up the phone and started thinking. He had just spoken to Abel on the phone. The two were good friends, very good friends. They had supported each other all the way until now. Pine was elected mayor of Oxford and Abel had contributed a lot. In turn, this
Once Abel wanted to participate in the London mayoral election, Pine would also give his full support.
I have been in contact with Benjamin several times. It is undeniable that Benjamin is an outstanding young man. Pine also knows Benjamin’s background very well. He just asked me to have dinner with investors in the evening. Pine agreed and wanted to take a look.
Benjamin was very curious about what the young man he admired looked like. It was said that he came from Hong Kong in the Far East.
People in the UK have two attitudes towards Hong Kong. One is to get as much as they can. India, the jewel in the Queen's crown, can be independent, let alone Hong Kong. At least so far, the UK has not gained anything from Hong Kong.
Actual interests, because the interests are controlled by a small group of people.
The other is to hope to continue to control Hong Kong as a British stronghold in the Far East. However, this goal has become difficult to achieve with the unification of the mainland. Hong Kong is far away from the UK and too close to the mainland, making it difficult to maintain.
Pine is a centrist. He doesn't care about these things. Now he is more concerned about Abel's campaign and his own re-election. Everything else is trivial. Politicians first consider their political interests. Only when they stabilize themselves can they consider other things.
interests.
Benjamin returned to the hotel and reported to Guo Yongren. There was no problem in the evening. He would not go, and Guo Yongren would talk to Pine alone. This was Pine's insistence. Guo Yongren was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. It doesn't matter, just run away.
There was no exchange of interests, so Benjamin was allowed to rest and we would talk about anything tomorrow.
After Tony, the mayor of Riley Town, sent Edgar and the others away, he didn't waste any time. He directly called in all the town committee members for a meeting. It must be a meeting, and there must be a result today. This time, there is an opportunity.
No misses allowed.
There are not many committee members in Riley Town. Sheriff Tork, tax clerk Kane, Reverend Scott, Mrs. Onley, doctor Mr. Upton, including Tony, there are six people in total in the town.
They have great prestige, and the residents of the town trust them, so they elected six of them as committee members of the town.
After the people expired, Tony explained the matter again, "Gentlemen and ladies, this is our opportunity for Riley Town. It doesn't need more, as long as we can find employment for 150 people, then our Riley Town will be
Ushering in take-off, you all know that with employment, the security of our town will rise several levels, and our economy will increase a lot. The key now is what conditions we need to give. The other party also said, they
We will inspect several small towns, we have competitors, and I don’t want to give up this opportunity, this opportunity to change our Riley Town,” Tony expressed his opinion.
Several others nodded. This is indeed a very good opportunity. "A company will not be isolated. When this company starts to operate, it will also drive the development of related industries and indirectly create more opportunities for us."
"Taxation," Pastor Scott said seriously. Although he is a pastor, his knowledge cannot be fake.
"But, Tony, we have to check if they are liars. If they are liars, we will become the joke of the whole town," Ms. Anglai said directly, and everyone laughed.
"This is not a problem. They have the address. Our town falls under the responsibility of Councilor Fact. I have already called him. He will go to the city hall to check now. There will be news in the evening. We need to discuss it now.
What is important is what conditions we can give. If this matter is true and we have not come up with any plan, then we will be the sinners of Riley Town," Tony said seriously.
