In addition to the problems we have to face at the moment, Julio also discovered some other problems. Compared with the Southern City Officials' cooperation with capitalists, the Western Capitalists seem to have a bit of apathy towards the official!

Yes, it's coldness. In yesterday's conversation, Julio threw out the questions raised by Dulin as a question more than once, asking the capitalists present how to solve them. If it was in developed cities in the south, there would definitely be many capitalists who would stand up and express their willingness to take on these problems and give solutions as soon as possible. The cooperation between the city hall and the capitalists is almost in a semi-public state, and capitalists are also happy to help the city hall solve these problems.

From the perspective of the city hall, many problems can be solved without using a penny of public funds, especially medical issues and basic living security issues of citizens. These are the two most profitable areas, but they are also the two areas with the largest investment. Medical insurance alone may require millions or even tens of millions of dollars, and there will be subsequent uninterrupted investment. People say that medical groups recognize money but not people, but ignore investment, costs and maintenance costs.

It takes about three years, or even longer, a brand new hospital from the start of operation to the start of profitability.

From the perspective of businessmen, the city hall is the endorsement of the project investments they are about to make. In addition to ensuring the safety of the project, the Imperial Bank is also happy to allocate loans to such projects. Compared with the somewhat rigid businessmen in the north and central parts of the empire, merchants in the south are more inclined to invest in capital. In layman's terms, merchants in the north will use real money to do things, and why they do this is actually caused by various reasons.

For those businessmen with aristocratic background, anyway, there is money at home, so there is no need to borrow money from anyone to do business. Their self-esteem and pride do not allow them to speak the word "borrow" to others, which will hurt their self-esteem. The same is true for those officials. They are rigorous and cautious in their attitude and will never accept any risky investment. Even if a project cannot be completed, they will never let the project take risks to launch it.

But the environment in the south is different. Merchants tend to play capital. The example of doing things well without spending money inspires all merchants to dream of getting rich, and also provides these merchants with a very complete template. With the endorsement of the government, merchants can borrow a large amount of funds from the Imperial Bank or the Southern Commercial Bank with an intention contract signed by the city hall, and use these funds to develop projects, and finally make a profit and repay the loan. This is the favorite method of southern merchants.

Using the least amount of capital to do the largest project is the method of southern capitalists, which is why Henry told Dulin that southern merchants are all liars. Because these southerners always think about how to do things without spending money or spending less money, it will inevitably make people like Henry who lack social care feel that they have been deceived.

Julio was a little confused about the collective indifference of the merchants in the west. As long as someone proposed any method that seemed to work, he would nod and let these people do it. But the problem is that no one showed positive desires, was they not interested in these things, or was there anyone who kept them silent? Julio felt that the biggest possibility was the latter, he was an outsider, and it was less than a week since he got here. No one knew where he could go, so naturally he would not bet blindly on himself. He still maintained the mentality of operating a city in the south, but ignored that the south and the west had completely different economic ecology.

This takes a process, a long process. Only after fully understanding the economic ecology of the west can Julio understand how bad he is now. Of course, before doing these things, he must first settle another thing.

Pulling open the blinds and looking at the cowboys and miners carrying shotguns outside the city hall, Julio felt a faint sadness in his balls, which was a bit painful. The desolation in the west and the numerous predators in the wild made almost every household here own a shotgun, which was also specially permitted by the state government. Villages and towns outside small cities like Tynere also allowed to form militias and have shotguns, with the purpose of protecting people's lives and... property safety.

Horse bandits and robbers are also predators, so it is not strange to have a hunting rifle in a family in the west. But when these people were carrying guns and demonstrating outside the city hall, Julio couldn't calm down. He had never seen such a irritable citizen. Don't people say that the folks in the west are simple? Why does the simplicity he saw seems to be different from his understanding of simplicity?

These people started to march because of the death of Memnon and the arrest of the Forward Party as the fuse. The three-guarantee policy has become the "finished" that people call with ulterior motives. No one will continue to be responsible for them, and no one can ensure that the three-guarantee policy they have purchased can continue to be implemented. This seriously hurts the feelings of the Westerners, destroys the Westerners' trust in the official and implements the policies, so people must always take responsibility for this matter.

This responsibility did not belong to Julio. Mennon's death was an "accident". The attack on Julio was not related to Julio. It was a collective silence operation in the three western states. It can be said that from beginning to end, nothing was related to Julio, but he became the first person to face this matter. Someone said in private that the reason why Mennon was finished was because he blocked Julio's way. Who got the most benefits after Mennon's death?

There is no doubt that of course it was Julio. Didn't you see that Julio has become the mayor of Vanrier? He sat under his butt, but the chair that Mennon had sat before. Who would he ask him for trouble?

Driven by such rumors, some angry Westerners who felt that they had been deceived and maliciously treated came outside the town hall with their hunting rifles on their backs. They needed an explanation and an arrangement. It was impossible for them to lose a lot of rights and interests inexplicably, and there was not even a statement. As the biggest beneficiary, Julio always has to say something, right?

These people are really stupid!

In fact, it is not that there are many idiots and fools, but there are still many smart people. The bad impact and consequences caused by the riots cannot be taken by ordinary people. Throughout history, no one who took the blame for political events was an ordinary civilian. Even under the influence of some special forces, they have become special people with "political influence". But more of them are still a legitimate politician who takes the blame.

Julio didn't believe that the Westerners would be so arrogant at first, until he was shot in the knee.

"We should find a solution to this matter as soon as possible. I don't want these impulsive bastards to continue to appear outside the town hall..." Julio let go of his fingers. Five people were sitting or standing in his office. These five people were his private team, or decision-making groups. This kind of small group is very common in the south. Whether businessmen or government officials, they are accustomed to hiring some smart people to form a group to analyze problems to help themselves improve their work efficiency. It is said that Magus also has a private small group called a think tank.

The young man standing on the wall with a wine glass was the first to speak. He was a social elite graduated from the Economics Department of Southern Business University. He was employed by Julio to serve in his decision-making team and provide some necessary economic assistance. "Boss, I looked through some archives left by Mr. Mennon. Here I found that in the whole west, nearly 2.2 million people purchased 3.7 million insurances of various types, and paid fees ranging from forty-eight to seventy-seven months for these insurances, with a total amount exceeding 80 million yuan!"

"About 60 million yuan was invested in the construction of thirteen cities, the largest expenditure was spent on land replacement and building commercial centers. There were more than 23.5 million for other purposes, of which more than 9 million were in the Imperial Bank account of the Forward Party. The account has been frozen, and the remaining more than 10 million did not have specific documents to prove the flow of these funds, but they all disappeared."

"In other words, even if those people lower their requirements, they can calm the problem by refunding the money they paid. You, the city hall, including the state government, do not have the ability to spend about 100 million yuan at one time to return all Western citizens who participated in the three guarantee policy. So if you want to say that the refund will be suspended, you can't afford it."

Julio suddenly felt a squeak in his head. Dandan stopped hurting, but he had a headache.

One hundred million yuan in funds?

Where did he get 100 million yuan of funds? Even if he sells him, he can sell millions or tens of millions of funds. The muscles in the corner of his eyes were uncontrollably pulled out and looked at the other people, "Gentlemen, how should we face the next disaster? We definitely don't have money. Even if the cabinet agrees, it is impossible to allocate 100 million yuan to calm the anger of citizens. We may be less than 20 million yuan of funds."

At this time, a young man in his thirties who was wearing formal clothes and looked like a social elite class smiled, "Mr. Julio, in fact, we might as well think in another way. Mennon can maintain the three-guarantee policy, so why can't we maintain it? According to the data just now, about 10 million can continue to maintain the three-guarantee policy without any problems, and we can also get more profits from it every year to develop the city!"

Julio nodded without comment, "This is indeed a method, but it is also the most inappropriate method. The basis of the three-guarantee policy is based on the basis of fraud. We know that Mr. Mennon was just cheated of more than two million yuan in security before being assassinated. We are not familiar with the three-guarantee policy and do not know enough about the personal information of each citizen involved in the three-guarantee policy. We also have to deal with many capitalists, which is full of various risks."

"We may need to form a huge organization to complete the handover of these things. The reason why Mr. Mennon was able to play the three-guarantee policy is because he himself was the leader of the Forward Party. The Forward Party is spread throughout the west, and every city has Forward Party people. So they have an organization that is large enough to do these things, but we don't."

"If we want to be as good as Mr. Mennon, the first thing we need to solve is the specific worker, and then we have to argue with the capitalists and find ways to make the money roll!"

"Gentlemen, this is not an easy thing, because we have 'deficiated' by about 75 million. If we cannot find the money back and cannot get the frozen funds of the Progressive Party, then we are likely to become victims!"

In fact, what Julio was most worried about was that someone was pushing these people to participate in the trouble. If his subordinates had not told him that Mennon had seized nearly 100 million yuan from the west, he would not have known that there was such a big pit here, a pit that could be called the abyss.

Even if only one million people asked for a refund, it would be enough to leave Julio helpless. He didn't have so much money to operate these things, he didn't have the foundation of Mennon, and there were not so many people willing to do things for him.

Julio's legal counsel thought for a while and said, "The only way now is to raise questions about the three guarantee policy to the state legislature and the cabinet, and ask the state government and the cabinet to form an investigation team to conduct in-depth investigations on whether there are members involved in duty crimes during the process of the three guarantee policy bill passed in the state legislature. My personal opinion is that someone will definitely receive benefits before the bill will be passed. As long as evidence is found, we can submit an application and review to repeal this bill, and then put all the blame on Mr. Mennon and the Forward Party."

"So what should those citizens who have suffered losses do?" Julio was very moved. He knew what the lawyer meant. Anyway, he refused to admit his account. If he didn't do it, he would ask the Western Military Region to suppress the riots. The consequence of this was that he did not need to bear any responsibility for the three guarantee policies. Although there may be some stains on his resume, it is not that important than the former.

The legal counsel smiled slightly, "Of course, it is to provide them with legal aid to sue the Forward Party and Mr. Mennon. As for whether the money can be recovered and how much it can be recovered, that is another matter." In order to let Julio and other friends understand the feasibility of doing this, he also gave an example, "The Century Scam happened a few years ago. A group of people used some very ordinary means to flee the empire with more than 70 million yuan from Sherith Street. So far, the case has not been solved. Not to mention the main culprit, even the funds have not been recovered."
