"Be a federal hero and suck every moment!"
In fact, in addition to the simplest written meaning it expresses, this advertising slogan actually has other deeper metaphors.
But that's not important. What's important is that it's catchy.
People can always remember such short, simple and coherent advertising slogans.
Everyday's business was hit hard after the invasion of Nagaril, but it has now recovered.
Cash crops began to be planted throughout Marillo, and tobacco leaves were naturally one of the cash crops. The federation gained another huge raw material production area.
But it still cannot replace Nagaril's importance to the Federation, and there is still a long way to go to even compare.
But for now, Marillo has indeed solved some of the problems that may occur due to the loss of Nagaril, and they have been reconciled by it.
At the end of the show, Lynch nodded with satisfaction.
He doesn't care about the situation in Amelia. For him, if the death of the Gefra people can help him get more, then he will even take the initiative to propose to Mr. Trueman——
Let them die!
But it was obvious that Gaevra couldn't do this yet, so he was quite indifferent.
This is truly a qualified Gaevra noble!
The weather is getting colder and colder, and this is the most painful time for Marillo people.
Nowadays, many people there freeze to death every winter. Now that Marillo is temporarily managed by the federal government, they seem to be looking forward to whether this year will be any different.
However, the federal government itself is unlikely to devote too much energy to the management of Marillo, and this is also the new job of the United Development Corporation!
The federal government and the United Development Corporation jointly established a company called the Mariro Resource Development Corporation.
Of course, it is impossible for the federal government to participate in the company as a government. They have included this company within the scope of special taxes, which means that the expected income of Marillo Resource Development Company will be lower than that of United Development Company.
But it won’t be too low. If it is too low, no one will do it.
In fact, the federal government itself does not know that United Development Company is actually so profitable, and its market value has exceeded that of the six major banks, at least on the surface.
Even if they raise taxes, there will still be a lot of wealth flowing into the pockets of United Development Corporation shareholders.
So on Marillo's side, they directly put companies on the big list and levy special taxes, starting at 50% and capping at 90%, which is somewhat flexible.
For capitalists, as long as it's not too much, they don't mean they can't accept it.
Anyway, a sheep is herded, and a group of sheep are herded. It is nothing more than setting up another company.
As one of the major shareholders of United Development Company, Lynch is also qualified to join this cake-sharing meeting.
Hundreds of people die every day in Amelia, but in the Federation, there is still peace!
The meeting was held at the Bupen Grand Hotel and was chaired by someone from the federal government's Office of Heritage Management.
The main work, or the main achievement, of this historical heritage management office is that they discovered from history that the reason for the mass extinction of indigenous people came from an infectious disease that was only prevalent among the indigenous people.
And it proved that the federal people not only did not massacre the indigenous people on a large scale, but instead helped the indigenous people to thrive and preserve the last bit of fire!
More importantly, the federation is not entirely composed of immigrants. They found some so-called evidence to support the whiter part of the federal indigenous people, who are now federal people.
Together with the immigrants, they formed a new federation!
This will naturally put the indigenous history at the head of the Federation, suddenly adding hundreds or even thousands of years to the history of the Federation!
In fact, in addition to these, it has done many other things, but these things are not well known to ordinary people.
For example, plundering foreign countries... No, protecting the historical heritage of other civilizations and bringing them back properly.
As for what means were used, that is another matter.
The reason why this office is hosting and leading the entire meeting this time is because the meeting itself, its title, is "Marillo Historical and Cultural Monuments Protection Promotion Association."
Protecting the historical and cultural heritage of Marillo is the main task, and the development of Marillo's resources is only incidental.
Lynch almost laughed when he heard this interesting thing. Are they planning to move some of the historical monuments in Marillo back to the Federation?
Maybe they, or some people in the federal government, are learning from Emperor Pengeo and like to bring things from conquered countries back to make exhibits!
The Foreign Federal Government would not admit that they invaded and conquered Marillo. They only said that this was to prevent the young new president from being assassinated by a warlord, so they managed it on his behalf.
The meeting was held very dullly. The person presiding over it looked very scholarly and had gold-rimmed eyes.
But the look in his eyes was very unpleasant.
His eyes were like those of a wolf, not that his eyes were ferocious and cruel, but rather indifferent.
Indifference to life, to anything!
Lynch sat below, looking at the documents in his hands and listening to the people on the rostrum.
They talked about some places that were not allowed to be touched in Malillo, such as the ancient imperial capital of Malillo, and the people living in the entire city must be dismissed.
A federal working group will go there after the spring to rescue some historical relics and the like.
Of course, in this process, all expenses will be borne by the soon-to-be-established "Marillo Resource Development Company".
Meetings like academic reports are smelly, but they are not long.
After the government officials left for a short break, the atmosphere in the entire conference room became much more relaxed, and people began to discuss the next thing.
"How much do you want?" Mr. Pattu asked in a low voice standing next to Lynch.
What he asked was how many shares Lynch wanted in the new company. There were too many people, so it would not be easy to divide the shares.
Having more people is an advantage, but it also brings some troubles.
Humans are the most complex creatures. Because humans have high intelligence, and intelligence and instinctive desires are often integrated, so when there are more people, there will be disputes.
Such disputes are actually not conducive to the development of the company. Any company that can develop rapidly will often have a major shareholder who speaks with practical significance!
Lin Qi thought for a while, "At least three percent, it cannot be lower than this number."
Patu took a sip of the wine, then nodded and said, "It's very reasonable. I might want an extra day, five percent."
"You know they discovered several large mines in the north. These are so important to me!"
His underlying intention was actually to seek support from Lynch. After all, in the process of competing for shares, the more people supporting him, the better his chances of winning.
The Federation has had a huge demand for various mineral resources due to the war, and there has even been a shortage of some special metal ore resources, such as copper.
Mr. Patu's family business is engaged in the mining and smelting of mineral resources. It is not too much for him to use his status as president of the consortium to do something that is helpful to his family business.
There is no conflict of interest between him and Lynch, and Lynch will naturally not object. "I think this is a very reasonable request..."
The two then separated and found other people who could support them.
Lynch gradually gained some status in Eternal Life, he could mobilize more resources, and he naturally knew more people than before.
The discussion lasted for almost forty minutes, and finally everyone returned to the table.
The government official from the Historical Heritage Management Office also took a good rest and returned to the room.
This time he didn't speak and sat aside the whole time, not even taking the main seat.
After everyone's joint discussion, discussion, and competition, Lynch finally got 3.2% of the shares. Mr. Patu was a little hurt and only got 4%, but he took the remaining 10%. One split 0.2 to Lynch.
In this way, although he has lost one percent, this one percent is actually held by his friends in other ways. When he has needs, this one percent will still be on his side!
But there is a prerequisite, that is, there is no direct conflict of interest between him and this group of people!
The newly established company is valued at 4 billion. The federal government has made a budget. According to calculations, it will cost about 3 billion to operate Marillo's situation.
More than 500 million will be invested in the first phase because winter is coming.
Relief meals, clothes and quilts, tents, etc. all cost money.
It’s not that the federal government can’t come up with so much money, but it’s that they don’t have the energy to take care of this matter, so they’ve given it all to resource development companies.
The money from the subscription of shares will eventually be used in Marillo's society in the form of rescue, so that the entire company will still have almost several hundred million in assets on its books.
These hundreds of millions are completely enough to run the entire company.
To put it more clearly, this is spending money to buy opportunities!
It seems that the federal government is a bit too much, but in fact, those people outside who are not qualified to spend money think that the federal government is really too much. They can't even spend money if they want!
After the results were finalized and everyone confirmed that there were no problems, government officials who had never had any sense of presence made the final confirmation.
"Within a week, if you have any other questions, you can contact me. If there are no problems, then we will follow this plan."
"I hope you can prepare 35% of the capital first. We will test the registered assets in the first week of the company's establishment..."
When leaving the Bupen Hotel, Lynch looked back at the shining hotel and suddenly felt very interesting.
It's true that the federal government's attitude is not that good, but at least it is straightforward.
I ask you to sign a check directly, instead of asking you to guess riddles.
Sometimes, this is good!
