Chapter 577 Debt Collection

Jerry Spear left Westeros headquarters almost awkwardly.

James Rebold sent Speyer out, went back to the conference room, and said to Simon who was sitting at the same place and reading a copy of the evening paper that Girl A had just sent: "Actually, there is no need to be so stiff."

Simon spread the newspaper on the desk and looked at James: "Jim, I am a fat sheep in the eyes of many people, right?"

James didn't know how to answer for a while.

Simon did not wait for the other party to answer, and said to himself: "This is the case. I don’t mind if they treat me like a fat sheep. As long as they cooperate with Simon Westero, it is really easier to make a lot of money. However, if someone thinks that I really It’s just a fat sheep that is slaughtered by anyone. I don’t need to pay enough for taking my money. I even turn my face and don’t recognize people. Not only will I let them spit out everything I have eaten, I will also throw them away All the original things are destroyed."

In the bidding process of the Westero Building project, Simon considered the influence of Tishman Speyer in New York before contracting the construction of the Westero Building to the other party.In order to ensure the quality of the construction of the Westeros building, not only did the price not matter, but it was rather generous.

This incident, the history of the Eisper family in New York, was actually capable of stopping it from the beginning.

Not only did the other party not do this, he didn't even inform Westeros here, but instead he looked at the lively attitude, which made Simon completely intolerable.

In the final analysis, the other party just regarded him as a fat sheep, a nouveau riche lacking in heritage.Thinking that he had taken advantage of it and set it aside, Simon had no choice but to give them even more benefits for the other party to help coordinate.

It was precisely on the way to New York that Simon had just been so rude to Jerry Speyer, and even directly leaped tit-for-tat.

As for David Dingkins, Simon also did not intend to just let it go.

In support of David Dingkins's election as mayor of New York, the Westeros system did not actually have much practical demands, but only to expand its influence in politics.

Simon does not expect much reward from the other party, but he absolutely will not tolerate that a politician will easily turn his face away.

Otherwise, if all other politicians supported by the Westeros system follow suit, Simon may become a big joke in the eyes of some people.

James Rebled was also very angry about the things of the last few days, and Simon could understand the things, of course he also understood.It's just that as a middle-aged man with too much experience, he habitually wants to resolve this matter with a gentler method.

Because the Westeros system's development strategy of keeping a low profile is actually the case in the past.

This time, Simon did not intend to give up.

I stayed in the manor outside of Greenwich that night. However, some people who were interested clearly noticed that the lights in the manor house did not go out overnight, and even some people came in and out of the manor at more than one in the morning.

People with a keen sense of smell even experience a feeling of rain coming.

Early the next morning, Simon received a rumors from the White House that Clinton's wife Hillary personally called James Rebold to tell him not to act rashly at the crucial moment of the New York City mayor's campaign.

New York is the home base of the Democratic Party.

For the past 30 years, the Democratic Party has always held the position of mayor of New York, so it is also an important position that the Democratic Party cannot afford to lose.

After a page of noise, Simon did not move immediately.

In this way, one day, two days, three days, when many people thought Westero was going to die, before the ultimatum given by Simon, the Westero Building project quietly resumed.

As the fuse for the entire incident, the Westero Building resumed work, immediately triggering a one-sided condemnation from the media.

The construction of the Westeros Tower has been completed by more than one third. The municipal government was very embarrassed in the face of media doubts. However, the deputy authorities did not initially consider shutting down the Westeros Building.

However, the investigation of the safety issues involved in the construction site of Westeros Building will not stop.

The city government talked about the jobs of construction workers, leaving many people speechless.

However, the "New York Post" immediately broke out a piece of information. Before the incident, the nearly 3,000 workers at the construction site of Westero Building were nearly half of the illegal immigrant workers from Eastern European countries.The New York Post also published a large number of evidence such as worker time sheets, and found the testimony of many illegal workers in the gathering area of ​​Jersey City and many workers involved in construction.

As a contractor for building construction, Tishman Speyer immediately denied the New York Post report.

The use of illegal labor has always been a hidden rule in the US construction industry.

Because formal workers are too expensive, especially union members.The wages of illegal workers are often only one-fifth or less of that of formal union members, and they do more.Therefore, for contractors, the use of illegal labor naturally means more profits.'

Although the American Construction Workers Union is strong, it is actually the default for this state.

On the one hand, it is the result of a long-term interest game between the union and the management. On the other hand, it is also a state of shortage of labor in the construction workers in the United States.

The construction worker is definitely a dangerous and exhausted buddy. Americans with good lives are unwilling to do this job.In a metropolis like New York, decent urbanites are reluctant to do this job, so construction workers are relatively scarce, and construction companies can only use illegal labor.

In order to resume work before the ultimatum given by Simon, Tishman Speyer had to temporarily replace all workers with union members this time. The original quotation of Westeros and Tishman Spear will not change, which is obviously This means that profits have shrunk dramatically.

However, the traces of large-scale use of illegal labor in the past cannot be erased.

As the "New York Post" provoked this topic, even if you understand some of the industry's unspoken rules, the news industry has never lacked a media that challenges the rules, so everyone has followed the report.

Although some people have a vague sense of something.

"New York Post", this is a newspaper under the News Corporation.

Rupert Murdoch’s News Corporation has always had a very friendly relationship with the Westeros system, and the two sides have cooperated in many ways.

Moreover, "The New York Post" is still a tabloid that focuses on a variety of gossip topics. When did it start to be a very serious social problem for illegal workers?

Sober people are never a few.

A few people are rarely able to stop the cognitive trend of most people.

As the problem was uncovered, the Manhattan Metropolitan News, which first provoked the incident, also pointed out that the city government authorities knew about the illegal labor problem involved in the construction of the Westero Building, but they deliberately avoided it, but only aimed at Investigate the safety of the building, whether this is a kind of indulgence.

Connivance of illegal labor in New York?

So, the question is coming again, why should the New York City government condone the existence of illegal workers?

The construction of the Westero Building, more than 3,000 construction workers, half of them were illegal workers. Another fact is that since David Dingkins took office, the unemployment rate of local residents in the New York area has continued from the original 6.7% This has increased to 11.6% recently, almost doubling.

When the topic comes here, if the Republican Party can't seize the opportunity, it's stupid.

Rudy Giuliani is certainly not stupid.

The media in the Republican camp quickly began to attack David Dingkins' so-called promotion of New York's'diversity', in fact, to allow illegal immigrants to seize the work of local residents.

Moreover, according to David Dingkins's campaign philosophy, the current mayor plans to further promote New York's'diversity' after re-election.

Now, the question is coming.

Do you want diversity, or do you want to work?

Although the United States is a country composed of immigrants, it does not mean that Americans welcome immigrants.

People's attitudes often change with their positions.

Before getting the US green card, the US immigration policy is of course the looser the better. Once you get the green card, you become an American, and of course you don’t want more people to enter this country to seize the opportunity to share resources.

The Democratic Party has always regarded new immigrants as one of its basics, because these immigrants are often procrastinators and look forward to allowing more loved ones to enter the United States.However, this group of people is a minority after all. Most Americans have no similar demands. Compared with them, they care more about their working and living environment.

Everyone was busy with the current mayor's'diversity' policy leading to a sharp increase in New York's unemployment rate. On October 13, another thing happened suddenly in Queens.

The incident happened near a pier near the estuary of the East River.

The two gangs engaged in drug dealing somehow caused a firestorm and caused a fire in the building near the pier. Although there were no other casualties except the six corpses left after the gangster fire, the entire pier was torched. If it was not a firefighter Arrived in time, the fire may even spread to nearby residential areas.

Local TV stations interviewed the scene of the accident, where the fearful faces of the rest of the lives of the residents and the crying of children in camera shots were everywhere.

The second day of "New York Post" took a photo of a single mother holding her crying child who was only five or six years old standing on the street blankly as the front page. The background of the photo was the skylight, the title was added with The black font reads'Deteriorating New York Public Order, are we living in a war zone?'

One of the things Rudy Giuliani has been aggressively attacking David Dingkins is that the fight against crime is unfavorable, resulting in a continuous high crime rate in the New York area, rampant gangsters and threatening the safety of residents.

Less than three weeks before the polling day of the New York Mayor election on November 2.

Attacks by the media and political enemies on the city government's condoning illegal labor to lead to an increase in unemployment in the federal region have caused David Dingkins' approval ratings to fall sharply. Critical blow.

In a manor outside of Greenwich.

On October 15, Simon quietly came to New York again.

Joseph Schlapp was taken by the A girl into the study of the villa. Simon was standing behind the desk, clumsily holding a brush in his hand and carefully writing something on the large paper spread on the table.

What attracted Schlap's eyes even more were the two tall girls who stood on both sides of Simon and helped him press the edge of the paper.

I still know a lot about the private life of my boss.

Moreover, the identities of the two girls are also easy to identify.

The "waist essence" and "leg essence" created by Simon himself, Yasmine Gary and Naga Allman.

The second Wei Mi show will be held next month. Recently, the forty angels of the Victoria Secret Army have always been the focus of the media chase. The "waist essence" and "leg essence" are definitely the most eye-catching in the Angel Legion. The second of several supermodels.

At this moment, the two supermodels are just a clever human paperweight beside Simon.

Even if he didn't dare to have any other thoughts, looking at the situation before him, Joseph Shrap couldn't help but feel a little sullen, there are many things that can press paper on the desktop.

Simon's writing was very clumsy and clumsy. Joseph and A girl stood quietly without disturbing. Simon still wrote a line and put down the brush, shaking his head: "It's too ugly, A, find someone to write this poem again, Framed and delivered."

Joseph and Girl A looked at the rice paper on the table together. There were seven Chinese characters that were really not pretty.

Ze Guo Jiangshan entered the war map.

If the two are fluent in Chinese, it may be easy to read the whole poem: Ze Guo Jiang Shan entered the war, Sheng Min He Ji Le Qiao Su.According to Jun Mo's words, the princes will be defeated.

Simon gave a command and said to Joseph Schrap: "Come with me."

The two changed a reception room and just sat down on the sofa. Joseph Schlap said while pulling out several documents from his briefcase: "Mr. Mayor called me personally last night and said he would thoroughly investigate Things about Bowery Bay."

Simon received the documents handed over from Joseph, leaning his legs freely and leaning on the sofa, saying, "What does this have to do with us, Joseph, don't mention this in the future."

Joseph Schlapp nodded and decisively skimmed the topic, glanced at the expense report Simon was looking through, and said: "Recently our six political action committees have spent a total of $2.8 million. If you think the follow-up plan is ok, In the next half month, it will probably cost about 3 million US dollars."

The Political Action Committee is a political group in the United States that raises funds to provide political parties or candidates with the power to form elections.

The biggest role of the Political Action Committee is to break through the strict restrictions on individual donors on campaign funds in the Federal Election Law.The funds donated by individuals to political parties or candidates are called'hard money', and the funds from the campaign committee are'soft money'.

The personal donation amount is only a few thousand dollars at most, but the Political Action Committee can use tens of millions of dollars to fund political elections.Many active political lobbying groups in the United States, such as the National Rifle Association, exert influence on all levels of federal elections through election committee channels.

In recent years, the Westeros system has established 11 political action committees, large and small, with millions of funds to participate in political activities at any time through the model of being affiliated with various subsidiaries.
