Chapter 494 Suggestions
Although it was satisfying to do so.
And Su Chen does indeed have this ability.
But doing so will definitely trigger a strong reaction from TOPS.
As a mayor, he faces numerous obstacles even when trying to regulate the market, let alone the humiliating confiscation of an entire group.
Given the impact of TOPS on New Ellido, its implementation could disrupt the lives of residents.
This is the helplessness of a weak leader: even when opportunities are in front of them, they must consider the impact of the downfall of those who decentralize power.
The mayor, somewhat reluctantly, spoke on behalf of Huijing Meike: "Wouldn't doing this be too hurtful to him?"
"If other TOPS members cause trouble, it could get very ugly. Not all of them are bad people."
There are bad people among the masses, but not all of them are bad.
He has many allies in there, so it would be very difficult if he were accidentally injured.
"If they cause trouble, we'll take them all in," Su Chen said nonchalantly. "Good people working for me are still good people."
"Do you understand? I don't care about money. Money is just waste paper to me. Taking over Huijing Meike is just something I wanted to do. The profits from Umbrella Corporation, after deducting a little for my friends' expenses, will be used for public welfare and can cooperate with municipal work."
"I have no interest in money, as long as I don't embezzle it."
When it came to Tennyson's lottery, it was very important to him; at that time, he even considered printing money directly.
But now that the two are decoupled, Tenny's and Ironclad's credits are equally useless. This includes all the resources he once possessed below rank nine, because he could infinitely replicate them since he already had them.
Resources above the ninth tier are still useful; they are troublesome and complex to analyze, but the rewards can be substantial.
"I understand, I understand everything."
The mayor felt a deep envy; he truly understood.
This is a big shot from the interstellar society who came down to help the poor; he could control several star systems in no time.
Su Chen's treatment of Huijing Meike was practically merciful. His assistance to New Elidu was likely due to the presence of friends born there, making it a slightly different matter.
But the fact that Su Chen would hand over most of the profits to the municipal government really appealed to him. He didn't doubt that Su Chen was lying, because there was no point in doing so.
He actually hoped that TOPS would join the rebellion, so that the municipality could truly control the economic lifeline.
As for allies, allies are great, but we can't just give up money because they're allies.
Su Chen said, "Don't worry, they won't cause any chaos. If they do, then there's no chaos. I'll leave this matter to you to handle. I'll also make a press statement to announce the arrival of the protective umbrella."
"I won't kill Luke and Philoxes directly. I'll confiscate all the assets they've embezzled from Umbrella Corporation and let the citizens supervise them as they sweep the streets."
"I work sixteen hours a day, and every time I receive and verify a complaint, I get slapped in the face."
"The qualification to slap someone can be auctioned off, and of course, the money will be used for charity, haha!"
“They are allowed to do business in their spare time, but their finances must be transparent. If any illegal operations are found, and the report is verified, their proceeds will be confiscated immediately and they will be slapped live on camera.”
He knew that simply confiscating the property of people like this was useless; they could still live very comfortably through connections and various hidden benefits, and might even be able to make a comeback.
But if he does that, he'll never be able to get back up.
Allowing part-time business ventures might seem like a viable way to make a living, but financial transparency effectively blocks that possibility.
They see the food but can't eat it, plunging them into deeper despair.
As for making a fortune through legitimate, non-illegal business, that's wishful thinking. They've cheated countless citizens of New Ellito, and many are dissatisfied with them. You could say their businesses fail one after another.
Slapping repeatedly until you get tired of it~
Su Chen felt a sense of pleasure just thinking about this scene.
"You are truly a wise person!"
The mayor felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were talking to a devil, while he offered respectful flattery.
At that moment, he realized the pettiness of this powerful man.
You absolutely must not offend Su Chen, otherwise you will be plotted against from head to toe and plunged into an abyss of despair.
He knew Philoxes and Luke, two arrogant and unscrupulous capitalists. Being in such a predicament was unbearable; he wanted to die but dared not, suffering extreme frustration and torment.
"You flatter me, I'm just teaching according to individual aptitude."
Su Chen said modestly, "This is my first time setting up a scheme for capital. If there are any shortcomings, please give me your guidance, Mayor."
As a candidate for the Star God of Hope, he also comprehended the endless negativity of the suffering of all living beings.
He naturally knew what kind of punishment was best.
There is no fixed formula; it varies from person to person.
"There are no shortcomings; your plan is very comprehensive."
The mayor broke out in a cold sweat.
How else can this be supplemented?
He felt a little sad for Luke and Philocne.
As for resorting to torture, that would be a worse approach. I'm sure those citizens would come up with all sorts of creative ways to slap someone: pepper spray slaps, bear-like slaps, nail slaps…
"Hmm." Su Chen nodded in satisfaction, no longer dwelling on it: "Then, one last thing, I think the new Ellito is lacking in terms of its systems."
"Please tell me, and I will try to solve it."
The mayor was startled and took it very seriously.
After hearing Su Chen's opinion on how to deal with Huijing Meike, he was completely speechless.
The system is flawed and must be addressed, and expedited!
"I think the new Ellito does not provide enough protection for minority races such as the Ghost Sylphs and Shark Sylphs, which goes against the principles of environmental protection and equality."
Su Chen coughed lightly twice, his expression both holy and loving: "I hope that policies can pay more attention to them and provide more comprehensive protection. They are also citizens, and they have equal rights."
He knew that the Cangjiao clan was not doing well; they had been incorporated into the army after the war.
Many Greeks also face discrimination because of their animal characteristics.
He's a really good person; he wants to protect the Greeks!
He's so cute, he wants to collect the whole picture book!
"It will be implemented immediately, and the new policy will be announced and implemented soon."
The mayor patted his chest and assured him that this was not a problem that violated any principles.
He wondered if it was because of this Greek friend that he was paying special attention to him.
He's a strong person who values relationships; he also longs for friends like that.
"Ok?"
Su Chen said with dissatisfaction, "With such a tight schedule, how can you possibly figure this out? Or are you just trying to brush me off?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it is indeed a bit inappropriate."
The mayor wanted to complain that this document was too easy, as he could easily adapt his previous drafts.
But he understood the unspoken meaning behind the words and knew that now was not the time to argue. The leader had his own opinion to express: "Since you are concerned about this matter, please give us your guidance so that we can take it into consideration."
I never imagined that becoming mayor would require me to do reading comprehension exercises for my superiors.
This feeling made him feel like he was back in the days when he was slowly climbing up the ladder.
"Isn't this bad?"
Su Chen made a token gesture of politeness and immediately said, "I won't give you too much advice on municipal work; you're the expert in that area. I just have one suggestion, please take notes."
"It's not that I necessarily have to do it, I just think there is some reference value in it."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely take it into consideration."
The mayor felt very strange, as if the person opposite him was another version of himself.
He also frequently offers suggestions, meaning that if you don't take his advice, he will have his own opinions.
