Werewolf hunting rules

Chapter 85 Foresight

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 things to talk about.

At this time, Philip and several gentlemen around him had already clarified their views in previous discussions. He carefully simplified the concept. At this time, he could 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 manuscript 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 alcohol or juice. drinks"

In the aroma of tobacco, he raised the wine glass in his hand to indicate that he and the gentlemen were on the same road, 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 away, 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 paused deliberately, but the gentlemen did not take advantage of the gap to interrupt, but concentrated on listening to his next suggestions.

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."

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

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.

"Now the city's wineries use local raw materials to make wine, and its foundation is also the food industry. When cultivated land is converted into industrial land, all food-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."

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."

The gentlemen smiled again, a smile without malice.

"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."

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

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

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

The most terrifying of these is refined whale oil.

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 no trace can be found. In order to prevent this phenomenon, later whale oil refineries would add certain mineral fluorescent agents that are harmful to the human body before the industrial whale oil leaves the factory. 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.

The consequences of drinking wastewater pale in comparison.

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

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

"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.”

"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 themselves don't have jobs. Now at least twenty people ask me every day, 'Cules Sir, do you still lack people under your command?' I had to reply to them twenty times, 'Sorry, no shortage'. Then I watched them leave wrapped in clothes in the cold wind." Carolin took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. , light it with a match. Then he blew out a puff of smoke, his eyes only staying on the flames the whole time.

"You can't stop people from making money to support their families just because of a good guess, Mr. Pulitzer. This is very unethical behavior. If you have this time to think, you might as well walk around the city and check those broken street lights. It’s your responsibility.”

There were whispers among the gentlemen.

Caroline Culles stole the show today, to the surprise of everyone, and his confidence made people think seriously about his point of view.

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

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

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

They are local family business managers, and of course they also want to develop their business outside the city. But competition in other cities is fiercer and it is not easy to get involved in money-making industries, and Sasha City, their hometown, is still an unexplored virgin land, which is suitable for starting.

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

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

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.

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.

"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.

Drew, another mayoral candidate, was also present but had no intention of expressing an opinion.

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

"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. Heart, because as long as the river channel is dredged, many problems will be solved.”

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

"If the pier can be reopened, I think the wetland will soon come alive 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.”

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

Gronier has assigned him to talk to the mayor about repairing the river, but the mayor has not let go yet. This may be the last major project that the other party can decide on during his term. If it is delayed until next year and the current mayor steps down, the new mayor will either be himself or his competitor, and will never use resources to help the Presbyterian Council achieve its goals.

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

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 the period when it was still in operation and it was no more prosperous than it is now, otherwise we wouldn’t have abandoned the Quayside area.”

Caroline laughed: "Our friend is a bit fanciful, he..."

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

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 it’s a calculated business.”

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

The poorest among them may not be worth that amount, which even for the Pulitzers would be more than a fifth of their total assets.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Except Philip.

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

The two Culles brothers were cut from the same mold.

He gave a satisfied smile.

It seems that I am worrying too much.
