"Are you sure..." Julio threw two newspapers on the table, one was the Verier Daily News and the other was the Western News. He turned sideways and looked at his secretary who had been with him for nine years. The first He asked in a more serious tone, "Are you sure we really spent money on these newspapers? Why don't I see my photo on the front page? This is detrimental to our future work!"
In fact, what he said at the symposium was not all a joke. When Julio was in the south, he had already discovered that the influence of public opinion is very huge. Many times, with the help of public opinion, you will not be able to do anything far away. It is far more attractive to the public and more likely to be recognized by others than what you have done. Whether it was done or not is another matter a few years later. There were reporters at yesterday's symposium. Julio, who is already very familiar with this, did not avoid reporters and even invited some reporters to listen.
But take a look at this morning's newspapers. The front pages of two very important newspapers are both pictures of Duhring. The captions below are full of words like "Mr. Dühring said" or "Mr. Dühring thinks". sentence, as if Du Lin was the protagonist of yesterday's symposium, and he, the mayor, was actually a supporting role. Julio actually didn't care much about this happening. What he cared about was that Dulin's influence had overshadowed his new mayor. This was what made people feel horrified.
Many times, the influence of capitalists is actually greater than that of government officials. Julio knows this very well, but these capitalists will make concessions in certain aspects. Tacit and silent cooperation is the most suitable way for capital forces and official forces to survive. . But here, something seems different.
The newspaper obviously made a surprising choice. They chose to put Dulin on the front page of today's newspaper, which shows that in local newspapers and even people's hearts, Dulin's influence and attitude far exceed Above the city hall. People recognize Dulin's words more, and all aspects of society want to know what Dulin did and said today more than what the mayor did or said.
This symposium was initiated by Julio, and the journalists were also invited by Julio. He also provided a hundred yuan in public relations fees to the newspapers where these reporters worked. Of course, this was done by his personal team. In the developed southern regions, many officials in charge of the government have such private teams. They all learned from those capitalists. This can save them a lot of time, and the team can help them find the best solution for many things.
So when something goes wrong, you first need to figure out which link caused the error.
In fact, the real reason Julio said at the symposium yesterday is that he spent too little money. Compared with a family's public relations expenses of one to two hundred yuan, Dulin's public relations expenses are always calculated in thousands of yuan. He knew that there was no lower limit for these newspapers and reporters. Especially after the fall of the George family, the competition between newspapers became increasingly fierce, and the way of competition also changed dramatically. In the past, the competition between newspapers was sales and popular news. Now they compete on how to survive.
Then paid news becomes a top priority, and even the mayor has to step aside compared to a generous partner like Dulin. Of course, you can’t offend too much. There is Julio’s photo on the second page, as well as his wonderful remarks.
Although yesterday's symposium did not allow Dulin to say what he wanted him to say, there was still something gained. At least he learned from a positive perspective what is currently lacking in the West. The lack of educational resources and medical resources is currently the first priority problem to be solved, especially the former. In Julio's view, a region without a comprehensive university is a failure. Every city in the South has at least one comprehensive university. Universities are not only a place to cultivate talents, but also to train these talents to be familiar with the local environment and have a positive impact on the local area. place of dependence.
Many talents from other places stayed there during this learning process and became "children raised for other cities."
Of course, the most urgent need to solve at present is the series of problems left by Memnon, such as the three guarantees policy.
As a government policy and regulation, the Three Guarantees Policy has promoted the audience and recognition of the Kadima Party in the west. However, with the death of Memnon and the liquidation of the Kadima Party, some people have smelled something not quite right, and the storm clouds have emerged. It's coming. Once these people start making trouble, Julio will become the first victim. It is impossible for him to continue to support stupid policies such as the three-guarantee policy, but if he denies the three-guarantee policy, it means that he will become the enemy of many working class people.
This is no longer something that can quell people's anger by returning money to people. People who have paid a certain amount of insurance premiums in proportion and hope that these insurance funds will be effective will not care whether you refund the money or not. What is needed is for the mayor to personally tell them that those policies are still valid. Especially student insurance and medical insurance, because almost everyone can use these two items. Once a child is admitted to college, even if it is a community college, it is still a college, right? The family does not need to bear this heavy tuition burden. They only pay dozens of dollars for it.
Not to mention medical insurance. Whether they are miners or workers on the assembly line, they may be injured and require hospitalization. Those medical groups will not have the slightest mercy. Medical groups have always been money-making enterprises, not charitable companies.
No money
Get out!
The high medical burden has become a source of panic for the public. People will always get sick. Getting sick may mean that a family's savings for one or two years are wiped out, and even the income of several years or more has become a factor that drives stocks in the medical sector. The cornerstone of price. This is why many people in this backward place in the west believe that eating hot horse shit can cure diseases. It’s not that they are unwilling to go to a modern hospital with scientific basis to see a doctor, but that they can’t afford to see a doctor and can only pin their hopes on eating hot horse shit. Shit can really cure diseases.
However, this issue is one that cannot be compromised. Once Julio makes a concession, he will run into a lot of trouble. The funds of the Kadima Party have been seized and frozen, and the Vanlier City Hall does not have much surplus. It can be said that apart from development and construction, there is no more money to support the possible avalanche of insurance worth millions or even tens of millions.
This has become a dead knot, a dead knot that cannot be untied. Everyone has the right to defend their own interests and defend them to the end. There is no righteous party or evil party in this dispute.
