Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1764: Chapter 1411: If We Do It, Make It Grand! (Part 2)

Mayor Gordon nodded, ”These demands are not excessive at all! They are reasonable and just! If I am re-elected, I will naturally increase my support for them.”

Mayor Gordon’s tone particularly emphasized the word ”re-elected,” and after he finished speaking, he looked earnestly at Bai Xiaosheng.

First of all, he must win against Berman; that is the premise of everything.

In this regard, Bai Xiaosheng must help him first!

It’s just not clear how Bai Xiaosheng will do it.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Gordon, full of expectations, and smiled, ”I have read several analytical articles about you, Mr. Gordon. The reason your approval rating has plummeted is simply that your initial promises were not fulfilled. Not only did you fail to raise the city’s employment rate, but you also let the unemployment rate increase, raising social instability, causing Haru City’s tourism rating to be affected, and the business investment recommendation index to fall to a low point in Benzhou...”

Bai Xiaosheng continued as Gordon’s face reddened, quickly interrupting, ”You know, in these past two years, not only Haru City but the economy of the entire Benzhou has been declining and is in a slump. Even the overall momentum in Europe isn’t that great...”

Gordon was more acutely aware than Bai Xiaosheng of the reasons for the drop in public support.

Gordon didn’t want Bai Xiaosheng to repeat it, as it would undoubtedly be rubbing salt in his wounds...

”How do you plan to help me? Is it by attracting large companies to invest here, directly providing jobs?” Gordon couldn’t help but ask.

This is the fastest way to improve employment rates and garner public goodwill, but it comes with significant issues.

When large companies set up here, they need buildings that meet their standards, such as factory areas, workshops, and headquarters buildings. However, constructing those requires time, and in the West, it’s not like in Huaxia, where they can instantly ”max out” the construction skills. Just the construction time itself is very long, and by then, who knows if he’ll still be in office!

Inviting construction companies from Huaxia to expedite progress is possible, but hiring ”outsiders” instead of using local companies and personnel would likely cause his public support to hit rock bottom...

Moreover, even factories now operate mechanized and are no longer labor-intensive, especially in the costly Western labor market. The question arises, what kinds of enterprises can provide enough jobs?

If there are too few, it won’t help at all!

If there are too many, how many more can it be?

Gordon himself felt a bit of a headache just thinking about it.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Gordon, smiling calmly, and spoke his thoughts slowly, ”To my knowledge, European wine culture is prevalent, especially here being geographically close to UE Country. I plan to establish a large wine festival in Haru City. By then, we can promote it to achieve a sensation, attracting attention from across Europe. A massive influx of tourists will enter Haru City. You can make arrangements in advance, learning from the Eastern inn model, turning Haru City residences into inns, while widely organizing the service and handicraft industries to join in, guiding all of Haru City’s citizens to participate and share a piece of the pie! This not only puts Haru City’s name on the map but also boosts its economy and greatly increases local employment rates. Would this not resolve all issues? What do you think?”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words left Mayor Gordon dumbfounded, not with astonishment but with a ”I was all ears, but what’s the big idea?” expression.

”Mr. Bai, you want to emulate UD Country’s beer festival, but... how many years of tradition do they have? Moreover, how many large brewing conglomerates support it? Regarding our wine festival, even starting from the date, how do you decide?” Gordon furrowed his brows, shaking his head involuntarily.

He thought this royal friend had some novel ideas, but this?

It was truly a bit disappointing!

”As for the festival date and theme, we can choose a day and add some pretext. For example, our Huaxia’s Singles’ Day shopping festival originally did not exist.” Bai Xiaosheng explained.

Gordon looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a wry smile, opting to say what was left unsaid, ”The most crucial part is how many brewing corporations can join in. If there are too few, it might not work. If the weight is too low, it won’t work either... To attract Europe’s attention and create a sensation, it would require heavyweight enterprises, and it can’t be just one or two!”

Inviting major brewing corporations alone would take a significant amount of time.

Gordon feared that by the time Bai Xiaosheng had secured the guests, he would be out of office.

Also, how many renowned groups could actually come remains doubtful...

Could this young man have oversimplified things, Gordon wondered.

Although he always felt Bai Xiaosheng was no ordinary person, after hearing this, he wondered if his instincts were wrong...

”The number of brewing corporations participating is hard to say.” Bai Xiaosheng pondered, ”However, I can have the Hawk Family, Feng Family, and White Family bring a few more, and if necessary, they can collectively step in.”

Bai Xiaosheng’s remark left Gordon in a state of shock.

He looked at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief, his eyes widening to their limits.

Hawk Family, Feng Family, White Family!

”Are you referring to the three giants of the brewing industry?” Gordon asked through gritted teeth, eyes gleaming.

”Yes, precisely them.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly and said, ”What, Mr. Gordon doesn’t believe me? I can immediately contact any of the three families to communicate with you.”

”No, no!” Gordon quickly shook his head.

No need for proof!

Bai Xiaosheng is a man who holds the Royal Golden Knight Medal, and it was he who hadn’t grasped the situation!
