Vol 5 Chapter 150: , Fermentation

Genius remembers this site address in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? "Damn, the price of oil has risen again, and it has risen three times this month. If this continues, Lao Tzu’s factory will close sooner or later. !
If I knew I would buy oil company stocks, the price of oil has risen so fiercely recently, and the stock price will surely soar! "A middle-aged man with a beard complained.
"Mr. Lille, I heard you complain three times today, can't you just change the topic?" the person at the table said helplessly
"Okay Vic, let's change the topic, for example, to talk about the weather in London?" Lille thought for a while and said
"This is really a sad topic. The weather in London is our eternal pain!" Vic said with a heartbroken look.
"Enough, Vic! Put away your bitter melon face, I'm sad enough, please drink coffee, not to stimulate me!" Lille frowned.
"Well, Lille! I found you have no sense of humor. The weather in London is like this. Don't you feel sad at all?" Vic asked suspiciously.
"I want to be sad too, but I really can't get up. As you know, my factory is one of the pollution sources criticized by the media. I am synonymous with unscrupulous profiteers!
To control the smog in London, I will close the factory. This is also a small problem. Anyway, my small factory can't make a lot of money. If it closes, it will be closed. The key is what should happen to the few hundred workers?
Tell me, are these media stupid, saying that by closing factories, the smog can be controlled?
God, don't they know that if the factory is closed, at least a quarter of London will lose their jobs?
Without the factory, what do they eat? If the government cannot solve this problem, what I want to do will be useless! "Lille frowned and said
"Are they right? Your factory has always been smoggy and it is indeed one of the sources of pollution.
Besides, the wages in London are so high now, how much money is invested in industry?
Fortunately, you have worked hard for a year, and you haven't made as much money as a month on the stock market, so why worry?
If the government wants to control the smog, it must give you an explanation, right? Everyone is operating legally, so it is banned casually without reason? Vic comforted
"However, the stock market doesn't keep going up. Once something happens, it will lose everything!
Although the profit of my paper mill is not lucrative, but it is stable? One-fifth of the toilet paper in London is produced by me. What do you use if you stop? "Lille said plausibly
"I think you don't need to worry about these issues, it's a big deal to bring them back from other places.
The most popular thing now is to move factories to Italy or Germany. The wages of workers in those two places are less than half of London's, and there are not so many messy taxes.
Have you heard that some congressmen have proposed to impose a pollution tax, which is aimed at you and specifically used to control the smog in London? "Vik pretended to be mysterious
"Damn it, which suggested, do you still have to live? If the government dared to impose a pollution tax, Lao Tzu would immediately shut down the factory and let the workers go to them for wages!" Lille roared.
"Well, you came to me today, isn't it just to tell me this, right?" Vic changed the conversation and asked.
"Of course not. I heard that the government intends to set up a smog management fund to reward entrepreneurs who take the initiative to move factories out of London. I want to inquire about this?" Lille said seriously.
"Do you intend to move the factory?" Vic asked in surprise
"This depends on the rewards given by the government. As long as the price is right, everything is negotiable!" Lille said calmly
"You didn't want to move away and deliberately defraud the reward fund?" Vic lowered his voice and asked
"Don't be so ugly, how can this be considered a lie? I am a law-abiding citizen!
Don't worry, I don't have a big appetite. As long as the government can give me the money, I can buy this factory. "Lille said without changing his face
"Don't think about it. With so many companies in London, the government simply can't spend so much money!
If you don't give money and let you move, can you agree? "Vic frowned and said
"Vick, we are old friends. The government cannot afford to move all the factories away, but there is still money to move away from a few factories!
Now that the problem of smog is so hot, how can the government do anything about it? Who is this money for? Don't worry, your share is indispensable! "Lille said nonchalantly
"Lille, tell you the truth, the government does intend to establish this fund for smog control, but the biggest problem now is that it has no money!
The government's budget has already been allocated. Where can I get such a sum of money now?
The Prime Minister intends to borrow money from the consortium, but the parliament lords disagree. Many members of parliament from various places oppose spending a lot of government financial resources on the issue of smog management.
This question was thrown to our London city government. What can the city government do? As far as our fiscal revenue is concerned, it is impossible to support such a large governance plan!
There are radicals who advocate learning from the Sofia city government and passing laws to force heavily polluting factories to move out of London! "Vick said earnestly
"Damn it, it's impossible. If there is no subsidy, we can't move away. Who will bear the relocation expenses and who will be responsible for our losses?" Lille said angrily.
"Don't be angry, it is impossible to pass such a law. But you should also pay attention to the fact that there are more and more people marching and demonstrating. If these demonstrators go to your factory to do damage, it will be a big trouble!
Okay, let's stop here today, I have something to do, so I'll leave! "Vick lowered the volume and said
Collusion between officials and businessmen exists in any country, and the British Empire is no exception.
Some people want to control the smog and solve the bad weather in London; others want to use this opportunity to make a fortune.
In this age of money supremacy, everything is easy to handle as long as there is money. If the British government is willing to pay, it will not be difficult to manage the smog problem in London.
The capitalists are very talkative, as long as the pound is enough.
If there is no pound sterling, then it will be bad, even if it is said that it is no use.
If the law is passed forcibly to control the smog in London, it will be fatal.
The person is dead, and I don’t know who did it. There are too many suspects. After all, it is really not difficult to assassinate a person in this age!
"The people demonstrating outside have not left yet?" Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin frowned and said
Perhaps God does not want him to continue to be re-elected. The smog has lasted for almost a century. It will not erupt sooner or later, but it will erupt at this time.
Now it has been taken advantage of by the opposition party, constantly putting pressure on them to solve the smog problem.
solve? How to solve this problem?
Capitalists are not easy to mess with. The government does not have that much money now, and cannot afford the compensation for relocation. It is simply a idiot to let them move out of the factory.
Moreover, we must also consider the employment of workers. If the factories are moved out all at once, what about these unemployed workers?
Britain has already completed urbanization, and it is impossible for them to return to the countryside. They have no land to cultivate.
People in not every country have the habit of saving money. Once they become unemployed, they will immediately become refugees and have no ability to resist risks at all.
"Your Excellency, it's okay! Someone suddenly died in the crowd of demonstrations just now, and now the angry people are asking us to give an explanation!" London City Police Chief Thomas hurried over and said
"How to die? Didn't I ask you to calm down?" Stanley Baldwin asked.
"It seems to be poisoned by smog!" Thomas frowned and said
Stanley Baldwin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not a profiteering suppression, it didn't matter if the smog was poisoned, how many deaths were there that day in London?
"Explain to the citizens that we are discussing governance plans with experts and let them give us some time.
Tell them that the weather in London is not suitable for outdoor activities, and that they are more likely to be poisoned outdoors. Let them go home quickly.
Send someone to send the deceased home, and the government will pay them a pension to shut up the family members! "Stanley Baldwin decisively ordered
"Yes, Prime Minister!" Thomas replied
"Everyone, at this time, the problem of smog is urgent. We must find a way to stabilize the people's mind.
Winter is about to pass. As long as this winter is passed, the haze weather will end, and we will have more time to think about this issue.
Of course, the premise is that we are still sitting in this position next year, otherwise it has nothing to do with us! "Stanley Baldwin said wearily
Ferdinand just lit a fire, and behind it was the Englishman playing by himself.
The timing of this time is very good. The election year is undoubtedly a good time. Now the smog problem has banned the war in Southeast Asia, and it has become the most powerful evidence that opposition parties criticize them for inaction.
No Ministry of Human Resources hopes to solve this problem, but no one can solve this problem.
The horrible weather in London is enough to close the factory?
Obviously this is impossible. At present, nearly 10 million people in London rely on coal for heating and cooking. This is also a source of pollution.
Even car exhaust ~EbookFREE.me~ is also a major source of pollution.
It's just that the media decisively ignored this issue and shifted all the responsibility to the factory, which aroused public outrage.
"Your Excellency Prime Minister, why don't we buy a batch of masks and distribute them to the citizens of London, so as to appease them first." The Chancellor Chamberlain suggested
"Well, this is a good idea. Let the city government do it right away, and do it with great fanfare, so that the public can see our actions!" Stanley Baldwin thought for a while and said
"Your Excellency, we can also formulate a three-year plan for smog control, which will be carried out in batches and stages, and all these plans will be published in newspapers!" The Secretary of State Yaweier proposed.
"Three-year plan? I'm afraid the people don't have the patience. What they want is to solve the smog problem immediately. They will think we are delaying time!" Stanley Baldwin frowned and said
"Your Excellency, we can use the employment issue as an excuse. Once the factory is closed immediately, more than 2.8 million people in London will lose their jobs.
The government only proposed the three-year plan out of comprehensive consideration. After all, it takes time to solve so many jobs! Yaweier explained
"Mr. Yaweier, your idea is great!
We are a responsible government, and we must consider the issue comprehensively. No one can ignore the employment of so many people.
I think they and their family members can already represent four-fifths of the public opinion in London. This crisis is basically over! "Stanley Baldwin said happily
This is an excellent plan. Unless they win this year's general election, then this three-year plan will be their future governance program.
If the election fails, it will be a headache for the next government.
