Chapter 562 The truth [2]
After Scott's answer, a slight commotion occurred in the venue. Many reporters began to write quickly, and all the shots were aimed at him. Most of the things he said just now had a clear idea in their hearts, and the official speeches could always be guessed. But his last sentence really made these reporters feel excited. This is definitely a big news. Regardless of whether it will become a fact in the end, Mayor Dulin will become the focus of the news in a short period of time.
Just like many merchants, criminals or other professionals who cannot survive in the empire, they often leave the empire and go to the federation to seek opportunities after losing the soil and space for survival in the empire. Similarly, there are many similar people in the federation who come to the empire, hoping to find the glory of the past again.
Two of these people are the most eye-catching. The first type is the merchants from the federal government. Especially in southern cities, you can often see some commercial institutions with the Federal Chamber of Commerce signs. These institutions are mixed, some are legitimate merchants, but some merchants with bad records are mixed in. The business activities they engage in and the goods they sell can more or less find some problems. However, so far, after the incident has happened, they will not deal with it further except for compensation.
The second type of people is a gang organization with federal people as the main group, or even the only group. They are most common in southern cities, occupying some neighborhoods to engage in illegal trade, or selling some contraband, and organizing skilled women to solve the problems that some doctors cannot cure for men. Sometimes their approach is more excessive than that of the local gangs in the empire, because they are outsiders and need to expose their minions to deter other gangs that have ideas about them. At the same time, they don’t care about making a mess here because it is not the motherland that raised them.
Everyone has long complained about these people, but due to the law and the degree of ruthlessness and treacherousness of these people, there is no good way to deal with them so far, and it is difficult to find evidence of their crimes.
But after Scott's attitude of Mayor Dulin was mentioned, everyone felt that Mayor Dulin was too brave. He actually wanted to do something that the official top leaders could not do. There is no doubt that in the future, he will not only be a news figure, but also a thorn in the eyes of those federal people in the empire.
However, I have to say that his statement and practice do give people a feeling of being upset, and he should have done this long ago!
After a brief record, another reporter raised his arms, and Scott distinguished the purpose of their speech from the expressions on the faces of these reporters. Some people looked solemn, and the questions of these reporters might not be easy to answer; some people looked excited, and there was no doubt that they were doing big news; some were a little more normal, and choosing them would not make themselves too ugly.
In Scott's choice of eyes, he pointed to the ninth position in the sixth row, a reporter who was slightly thin with his eyes. The reporter stood up, glanced at the notebook in his hand, and asked: "Hello, press officer, I am a reporter from the Windle Leices Industry News. I have some different data here. Some people think that the official may have concealed the real death figures. How do you view this issue?"
Scott's face was quiet, but in fact he felt relieved. These were the key test points he had drawn during preview. Just like the reporters had similar speculations about what the official press officer would say, the press officer would also preview the questions that the reporters might ask before the press conference.
"Hello, I think the question you raised is ridiculous. From the beginning of the collection operation to now, I believe everyone has seen injured people being sent to the hospital after registration, and also seen bags for temporary storage of bodies outside the canyon. If your primary school teacher is not lazy, you can go to the scene to count, or take our registration book to count to all the hospitals."
Scott raised his hand and sat down, saying calmly: "There are always some people who will hide in dark corners and try to use shameless behaviors like conspiracy to hurt a just cause! What we need to do now is not to consider attacks from politics, attacks from capitalists, attacks from a small group of conspirators. We should focus all our attention on search and rescue work and to maximize our expectations for more people to be rescued. This is the glory of human nature and what we need most!"
"To be honest, I feel very good about your question..." He lowered his head and smiled, with a sarcastic look on his face, "Do you want to use the number of those victims and their experiences as an excuse to attack the city government of the city of Audis? Or to achieve your other ulterior motives? You and the people behind you and your problems are really shameful!"
Suddenly turning into focus caught the reporter of the Industrial News a little off guard. He lowered his head with a red face to avoid the gaze from all directions. Yes, Scott was right, he planned to use a terrifying title and an exaggerated number, and supplemented by Scott's speech to create a big news. But he did not expect that the press officer of Audis would say this to him at the press conference, leaving him with no way out!
He certainly wouldn't know that he had been on the blacklist and that no matter what happened in the future, the Industrial Newspaper would be excluded from the press gang.
One by one, reporters stood up to ask questions, and Scott answered their questions one by one. Those who could answer positively would answer positively, and those who could not answer positively would change their concepts. This trick was already perfect when he worked in Ilian.
After the press conference ended, Scott took off his coat and returned to his office to change into a clean and clean dress. His shirt was already wet with sweat in the past two hours. Faced with reporters from so many newspapers in the Empire, he was definitely not as relaxed as he did. He answered any question wrongly, first of all, he would embarrass and fail at Dulin, he had no way out, and secondly, he would make Dulin a clown.
Dulin is not a good person, this is the consensus of all Ilian in the upper class. Since he killed Juan and killed the Sanya people who planned to march, everyone knows that this guy is just a bad person or a cruel and ruthless person.
Scott soon appeared in front of Dulin. Dulin was calling. After seeing Scott come in, he pointed to the sofa in the distance and walked into the rest room with the phone.
At this time, he was having a phone call with the chairman of United Construction. This was their fifth call in three days. The results of the five calls were almost reflected in this press conference. There were actually only three cores of this press conference. The first one was that Mayor Dulin was selfless and willing to do what he could for all the imperial people and take responsibility. He was a righteous official.
The second is that United Construction Engineering is a responsible enterprise. They are willing to compensate for the wrong things they do in accordance with the law. They will never avoid any fines, even if they go bankrupt.
The last and most important one is to conceal the number of deaths and reduce the death to more than 1,300 to more than 200. Of course, this does not mean that the deaths of more than 1,000 people really do not exist, but they actually exist. The families of these victims can also get 8,000 yuan in compensation, but they are always unlucky "twenty percent". Under the guidance of public opinion, people will no longer pay attention to the number of deaths and whether these people have received compensation.
They will be more clearly aware that Du Lin and United Construction Engineering are brave enough to take on the courage and dare to face disasters, which is equivalent to an advertisement for them that has affected the entire Northern Mainland!
As for why the death toll is hidden, on the one hand, if the real death toll is announced, it is very likely that the project that runs through the two mountains will be stopped by public opinion. This kind of project that kills so many people in an accident is a disaster in the eyes of many righteous social moral people. Secondly, it is also to raise the stock price of United Construction Engineering again. United Construction Engineering, as a reward for concealing the death toll, is to build railways for Audis for free, excluding material fees.
The people who kept their word on both sides thought that this thing could be done on the phone, and a bad thing would soon turn into a good thing. The benefits they gained through this accident far exceeded the benefits they lost!
This is a business, a big business!
After the call, Dulin came out of the rest room. He put the phone on the table and walked to the sofa to sit down, "How is it? Are you still used to life here?"
Scott nodded with a wry smile, "What else can I say besides saying 'adaptable'? Go back? Of course not!" He straightened his spine and asked with some concern: "Will you be affected by this accident?"
Dulin also nodded, "Of course, I will definitely be unable to get rid of the responsibility of so many people after they die. There are always some people who can't stand the minority. In addition, I still have some enemies in the imperial political arena, so they will definitely not miss this opportunity."
"So you might be transferred?" Although Scott received Dulin's promise, he was still a little annoyed. "Is there any news about who will take over the next mayor?"
Dulin shook his head, picked up a clean apple and ate it, and chewed it. "You don't need to worry about these problems. On the contrary, no matter who comes, he needs to worry about how much actual power he can get in this city. You just need to look at something and call me when necessary, it's that simple."
"Can I ask a question?" Scott was still a little worried. Dulin nodded and asked, "They all said you killed Todd? Is it true?"
Du Lin laughed, and then replied righteously: "No!"
Scott also smiled, "Then I'll be relieved!"
