Mediterranean Hegemony Road - v5 Chapter 150
“Damn, the price of oil has gone up again. It has gone up three times this month. If this goes on, Lao Tzu’s factory will close sooner or later!
I knew I would buy the stocks of oil companies. If oil prices have risen so fiercely recently, the stock prices will definitely skyrocket! “A bearded middle-aged man complained
“Mr. Lear, I have heard your grievances three times today, can’t you change the subject?” People at the same table said helplessly
“Well then, Vic, let’s change the subject, like talking about the weather in London?” Lille thought about it.
“This is really a sad topic. The weather in London is our pain forever!” Vic said in a heartbroken manner.
“Enough, Vic! Put away your bitter gourd face, I’m already sad enough to ask you to drink coffee, not for you to stimulate me!” Lille frowned.
“Well, Lille! I find you have no sense of humor. The weather in London is like this, aren’t you sad at all?” Vic asked in wonder.
“I also want to be sad, but I can’t be sad. My factory you know is one of the sources of pollution attacked by the media. I am synonymous with unscrupulous dealers!
To manage 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. It will be closed and closed. The key is what about the hundreds of workers?
Can you tell me if these media are stupid? If you shut down the factory, you can control the haze?
God, don’t they know that with the factory closed, at least a quarter of London will lose its job?
Without the factory, what do they eat? If the government cannot solve this problem, what I want to do is useless! “Lille frowned.
“Afraid they didn’t say anything wrong? Your factory has always been sooty, and it is indeed one of the sources of pollution.
Moreover, now that wages in London are so high, how much money can be made by investing in industry?
Fortunately, you have worked hard for a year. You haven’t made much money in the stock market in the past month. Why worry?
If the government wants to control the haze, we must give you a statement? Everyone operates legally, and they are banned casually without reason? Vic comforted
“But the stock market hasn’t been rising all the time. Once something goes wrong, it will lose everything!
Although the profit of my paper mill is not huge, but the victory is stable? I make one-fifth of the toilet paper in London. What do you use if you stop? “Lil Zhenzhen said eloquently
“I think these questions, you don’t have to worry about it, it will be a big deal to come back from a foreign country.
Now the most popular is to move the factory to Italy or Germany. The wages of workers in those two places are less than half of those in London, and there are not so many messy taxes.
Have you heard about it? Some Members have proposed to impose a pollution tax, which is targeted at you and is used to control the smog in London? “Vick said mysteriously
“Hell, which **** proposed it, wouldn’t anyone still live? If the government dared to levy a pollution tax, Lao Tzu would immediately stop the factory and let the workers go to them for their salary!” Lill growled.
“Well, you came to me today, wouldn’t you just say that to me?” Asked Vic then.
“Of course not. I heard that the government intends to set up a haze fund to reward entrepreneurs who have taken 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 reward given by the government. As long as the price is appropriate, everything is negotiable!” Lille said calmly.
“You wouldn’t have wanted to move out, deliberately cheating the reward fund, right?” Vic asked with a low voice.
“Don’t say it so bad, how can this be deceived? I’m a law-abiding citizen!
Rest assured that my appetite is not big, as long as the government can give me the money to buy my factory, that’s it! “Lille said without changing his face.
“Don’t think about it. With so many businesses in London, the government simply cannot afford so much money!
If you don’t give money and let you move, can you agree? “Vic said, frowning.
“Vick, we are old friends. The government cannot afford to move all factories away, but there are still money to move away from several factories!
Now that the haze problem is so hot, how can the government do the same? Who is this money for? Don’t worry about your share! “Lille said indifferently.
“Lille, let me tell you the truth, the government does intend to establish this fund to deal with the haze, but the biggest problem now is that there is 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 unfortunately, the congressmen do not agree. Members from many places are opposed to spending the government’s large financial resources on the problem of haze.
This question was thrown to us by the City of London. 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 studying the city of Sofia and adopting the law to force heavily polluting factories to move out of London! “Vick said graciously
“Hell, this is impossible. Without subsidies, we would not be able to move away. Who will bear these relocation costs and who will be responsible for our losses?” Lille said angrily.
“Don’t be angry, such a law is simply impossible to pass. But you should also pay attention to the fact that there are more and more crowds marching and demonstrating. If these demonstrators come to your factory to destroy it, it will be a big trouble!
Alright, let’s get here today, I still have something, let’s go first! “Vick said, lowering the volume.
Collusion between government and business exists in any country, and the British Empire is no exception.
Some people want to manage the smog and solve the bad weather in London; others want to use this opportunity to make a fortune.
In this age of money supreme, everything is easy as long as you have the 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 good at talking, as long as the pound is enough.
If it weren’t for the pound, it would be bad, even if it was nothing.
If the law is passed forcibly to control the haze in London, it will be fatal.
People are dead, I don’t know who did it, there are too many suspects. After all, it is not difficult to assassinate someone in this era!
“Did the demonstrators outside not yet leave?” Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin said with a frown.
Perhaps God didn’t want him to be re-elected. The haze has been going on for almost a century. It broke out sooner or later, but at this time.
It is now being used by the opposition parties, constantly putting pressure on them to solve the haze problem.
solve? How to solve this problem?
The capitalists are not easy to mess with. The government does not have so much money now and cannot afford compensation for relocation. Wanting them to move the factory by themselves is simply a dream.
Moreover, we must also consider the employment of workers. We have moved factories all at once. What should these unemployed workers do?
Britain has completed urbanization. It is impossible for them to return to the countryside. They have no land to cultivate for a long time.
Not everyone in the country has the habit of saving money. Once they lose their jobs, they will soon become refugees. They have no ability to resist risks.
“My Excellency, the Prime Minister! One of the crowds who died during the demonstration just now suddenly died, and now the angry people are asking us to give an account!” The director of the City of London Police Officer Thomas hurriedly came to say
“How to die? Didn’t I let you calm down?” Stanley Baldwin asked.
“It seems to be haze poisoning!” Toms frowned.
Stanley Baldwin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was not repressive profits, the smog poisoning didn’t matter, how many people died in London that day?
“Explain to the citizens and say that we are negotiating a governance plan with the experts and let them give us a little time.
Tell them that the weather in London is not suitable for outdoor activities, and it is easier to be poisoned outdoors, so let them hurry home.
Send someone to send the deceased home, and the government pays them a pension to shut up their families! “Stanley Baldwin ordered decisively
“Yes, Your Excellency the Prime Minister!” Thomas replied
“All of you, at this time, the problem of smog is urgent. We must think of a way to settle the hearts of the people first.
Winter is about to pass. As long as this winter is over, the haze will end, and we will have more time to think about it.
Of course, the premise is that we will still be 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 British playing on their own.
The election at this time is too good. The election year is undoubtedly a good time. Now the haze problem has banned the Southeast Asian war and has become the strongest evidence that the opposition parties have attacked them for their inaction.
No one wants to solve this problem, but no one can solve it.
In London’s ghost weather, is it enough to just 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 is a major source of pollution.
It was just that the media decisively ignored this issue and put all the responsibilities on the factory, which caused anger.
“Sir Prime Minister, it is better that we purchase a batch of masks and give them to the citizens of London ~ www.mtlnovel.com ~ to appease their emotions first.” Finance Minister Chamberlain proposed
“Well, this is a good idea, let the municipal government do it immediately, and do it with great fanfare, so that the people can see our actions!” Stanley Baldwin thought about it and said
“Sir Prime Minister, we can also formulate a three-year plan for the management of smog, which will be carried out in batches and phases, and all these plans will be announced in the newspaper!” Minister of State Yaweier proposed
“Three-year plan? I’m afraid the people don’t have that patience. What they want is to solve the smog problem immediately. They will think we are delaying time!” Stanley Baldwin said with a frown.
“Sir Prime Minister, we can use the issue of employment as an excuse. Once the factory is closed immediately, more than 2.8 million people will lose their jobs in London.
The government proposed the three-year plan out of full consideration. After all, it takes time to resolve so many jobs! “Javier explained
“Mr. Yavel, you have a great idea!
We are a responsible government and we must consider the issue comprehensively. No one can ignore the employment problem of so many people.
I think they and their families can already represent four-fifths of the public opinion in London. We have basically passed the crisis! “Stanley Baldwin said happily
This is an excellent plan. Unless they win this year’s election, this three-year plan is their future governing program.
If the election fails, it is a headache for the next administration.
