After Scott''s answer, there was a slight commotion in the venue. Many reporters began to write hard, and all the cameras were aimed at him. What he just said has long been in the minds of most people, and the official speech can always be guessed. But his last words really inspired these reporters, which is definitely a big news. Whether it turns out to be true or not, mayor Turin will become the focus of the news in a short time.
Just like many businessmen, criminals or other professionals who can''t get along 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, many similar people in the Federation will come to the Empire, hoping to find the glory of the past again.
Among these people, two types are the most striking. The first is businessmen from the Federation, especially in cities in the south. We can often see some commercial institutions with the brand of the Federal Chamber of Commerce. There are good and bad people in these institutions, some are legitimate businessmen, but there are also some businessmen with bad deeds. Some problems can be found in their business activities and the goods they sell. But so far, after what happened, they will not deal with it further except for compensation.
The second kind of people are gangs with the Federation as the main group or even the only group. They are most common in southern cities. They occupy some neighborhoods, engage in illegal trade, or sell some contraband, and organize skilled women to solve some problems that can not be cured by doctors for money. Sometimes they go too far than the local gangs in the Empire, because they are outsiders and need to show their claws and teeth to deter other gangs who have ideas about them. At the same time, they don''t care about making a mess here, because this is not the country that raised them.
There have long been complaints about these people, but due to the law and the degree of ruthlessness and treachery of these people, so far there is no good way to deal with them, and it is difficult to find their criminal evidence.
However, after Scott spoke about mayor Dooling''s attitude, everyone felt that mayor Dooling was too brave. He actually wanted to do something that the official senior management could not do on his own. There is no doubt that for some time to come, he will not only be a news figure, but also a thorn in the flesh of the federals in the Empire.
However, I have to say that his statement and practice do give people a sense of exhilaration. Those who have stepped on the horse should do so long ago!
After a short recording, another reporter raised his arm. Scott could tell the purpose of their speech from the expression on their faces. Some people look dignified, and these reporters'' questions may not be easy to answer; Some people look excited. There is no doubt that they are like making big news; There are also some journalists who behave a little more normally. At least they won''t make themselves too ugly.
In Scott''s choice of eyes, he pointed to the ninth position in the sixth row, a reporter with slightly thin eyes. The reporter stood up, glanced at the book in his hand, and then asked, "Hello, press officer, I''m a reporter from wenleles industrial newspaper. I have some different data here. Some people think that the official may have concealed the real death number. What do you think of this problem?"
Scott''s face was calm. In fact, he breathed a sigh of relief. These were the key test points he had drawn in his preview. Just as journalists have similar guesses about what the official press officer will say, the press officer will also preview the questions that journalists may ask before the press conference.
"Hello, I think your question is ridiculous. From the beginning of the collection operation to now, I believe everyone has seen the wounded sent to the hospital after registration, and the bags used to temporarily store the bodies outside the canyon. If your primary school teacher is not lazy, you can go to the scene to count, or take our register to the hospital There are hospitals to count. "
Scott raised his hand to let him sit down and said calmly: "There are always some people who will hide in a dark corner and attempt to harm a just cause with such shameless acts as conspiracy! What we need to do now is not to consider the attacks from the political arena, capitalists and a small group of conspirators. We should pay all our attention to the search and rescue work and look forward to more progress to the greatest extent Many people have been rescued, which is the glory of human nature and what we need most! "
"To be honest, I feel very for your question..." he lowered his head and smiled with a mockery on his face. "Do you want to use the number of victims and their experience as an excuse to attack the Otis municipal government? Or to achieve your other ulterior conspiracies? You, the people behind you and your problems are really very shameful!"
The sudden focus caught the reporter of the industry newspaper off guard. His face turned red and he lowered his head to avoid the eyes from all directions. Yes, Scott was right. He planned to make a big news with a frightening title and an exaggerated number, supplemented by Scott''s speech. But he didn''t expect that the press officer of Otis was in the new city Hearing what he said at the press conference, he had no way back!
He certainly won''t know that he has been blacklisted. No matter what happens in the future, the industry newspaper will be excluded from the press corps.
One reporter stood up and asked questions. Scott answered their questions one by one. If he could answer them positively, he would answer them positively. If he could not answer them positively, he would change his concept. He had been proficient when he worked in illian.
After the press conference, Scott took off his coat and went back to his office to change into a clean and tidy suit. His shirt had been wet with sweat for more than two hours. Facing reporters from so many newspapers in the Empire, he was definitely not as relaxed as he was. If he answers any question wrong, first of all, he will lose face and fail in Turin. He has no way back. Secondly, he will make Turin a clown.
Durin is not a good man, which is the consensus of all Elian upper class society. Since he killed Juan and those provincial elegant people who planned to March, everyone knows that this guy is a bad man, or a cruel and cruel one.
Scott soon appeared in front of Turin. Turin was talking on the phone. He saw Scott come in, pointed to the sofa in the distance, and walked into the rest room with the phone.
At this time, he was talking to the chairman of United Construction Engineering, which was their fifth call in three days. The results of the five calls were almost reflected in the press conference. In fact, there are only three cores of this press conference. The first is that Dulin grew up to be impartial, willing to do what he can for all imperial people, and used to bear responsibility. He is a upright official.
The second is that United Construction Engineering is a responsible enterprise. They are willing to compensate for their mistakes in the way stipulated by the law, and will never avoid any fines, even if they go bankrupt.
The last and most important one is to conceal the death toll and reduce the death toll of more than 1300 people to more than 200. Of course, this does not mean that the deaths of more than 1000 other people really do not exist. In fact, they do exist. The families of these victims can get 8000 yuan of compensation, but they are always unlucky "20%. Under the guidance of public opinion, people will no longer pay attention to the death toll and whether these people have received compensation.
They will more clearly realize that Du Lin and the joint construction workers have the courage to bear the courage and dare to face the responsibility of disaster, which is tantamount to making an advertisement for them that affects the whole northern continent!
As for why the death toll should be concealed, on the one hand, if the real death toll is announced, it is likely that the project running 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 social and moral people with a sense of justice, and the second is to pull up the share price of joint construction again, As a reward for concealing the death toll, the joint construction project is to build a railway for Otis city free of charge, excluding material costs.
People on both sides of the line think that this thing can be done, and a bad thing will soon turn into a good thing. The benefits they get from this accident far exceed their lost interests!
This is a business, a big business!
After the call, Dooling came out of the rest room. He put the phone on the table, walked to the sofa and sat down, "how''s it? Are you still used to life here?"
Scott smiled bitterly and nodded. "What can I say except to say ''adapt''? Go back? Of course not!". He straightened his back and asked with some worry, "will you be affected by this accident?"
Du Lin also nodded. "Of course, I will certainly have an unshakable responsibility for the death of so many people. There are always some people who don''t like the minority to stand up. In addition, I still have some enemies in the imperial political arena. They will certainly not miss this opportunity."
"So you may be transferred?", although Scott got Turing''s promise, he still felt a little egg pain. "Who will take over the next mayor? Any news?"
Du Lin shook his head, picked up a clean apple 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 real power he can get in this city. You just need to look at some things and call me when necessary. It''s that simple."
"Can I ask a question?" Scott was still worried. After Turin nodded, he asked, "they all said you killed Todd? Is it true?"
Durin laughed, and then answered in righteous words, "no!"
Scott smiled too. "Then I''m relieved!"
