Second Impeachment
]Some things cannot be hidden.
Not long after Lin Qi arrived at home, Ferral came to visit.
Now some people already know that Ferral and Lin Qi have a good relationship, such as the mayor.
This situation is very common. Everyone has his own social circle and friends, and he also understands the purpose of Ferral's behavior. This is no different from what he did originally.
As long as it does not harm his interests, he will not interfere with the interaction between the two. Sometimes they even have such a relationship, which makes it easier for the mayor to do certain things.
For example, right now.
Ferral declined Lin Qi to get him some coffee or something, and asked directly, "What is the purpose of Edward looking for you?"
If such a question is not closely related, it is absolutely impossible to ask it. Even if Ferral can open his mouth, Lin Qi will not answer. Only when it is related can he ask such a straightforward question.
Lin Qi asked the maid to get him a cup of coffee. He had drank wine and now he needed some coffee to wake up. In fact, he yearned for tea more, but there was no such thing in this world.
After thinking for a while, he said lightly, "He plans to advocate his own ideas and has attracted some people to his side. They plan to talk to the union in a few days to see if the current trouble can be solved."
Hearing what Lin Qi said, Ferral's expression became obviously solemn. There is no doubt that Councilor Edward's private actions are despicable. This kind of thing should be handled by the City Hall, not a state Member of the House of Representatives. He is not the specific ruling class of Sabine City. He has exceeded his authority.
What makes Ferral even more unhappy is that if Councilor Edward really succeeds, then he will gain huge popularity in Sabine City, laying the foundation for his possible success in running for mayor in the future.
From the current perspective, he is the mayor's rival. If he succeeds, he will make the mayor look like he has done nothing and is as stupid as the rumors say.
From a future perspective, he is Ferral's competitor. He has revealed his obvious intention to run for mayor of Sabine City. This will be a formidable opponent!
Moreover, this opponent has already begun to take action in advance.
"This news is very important..." Ferral could no longer sit still. Once Councilor Edward's momentum builds up, it is very likely that the results of the mayor's behind-the-scenes work will be regarded as the outstanding results of Councilor Edward's work during this period.
He stood up and was about to leave, but Lin Qi pointed at the sofa and refused to let him go, "In just a few minutes, I have a new idea that maybe we can talk about."
Ferral looked at Lin Qi for a while, then sat down again, "I hope your thoughts won't be too long."
This made Lin Qi laugh, because Ferral rarely complains, that's what he does, and he can persist until now. He basically won't complain about anything anymore, but he complained, which is very interesting.
After laughing for a while, Lin Qi's voice softened and became steady, "I want to take down the electric power company."
Ferral was stunned for a moment, "I'm afraid this won't be easy to handle. Behind the power company are people from the state..."
Such a business that is related to people's livelihood and has considerable profits will often not really become a sale of some unrelated people. It has long become a part of the state's interest cycle.
Behind Sabine City Electric Power Power Supply Company is another Group Company holding company, and this Group Company has a very close relationship with the governor and Progressive Party executives. It is not that difficult to snatch the food out of their mouths.
"But they are obviously standing in the wrong place. The more times like this, the more they should stand in the right place..." Lin Qi paused. He realized that it would not be that simple, but he did not expect it to be so complicated, involving the governor and Progressive Party senior officials.
After pondering for a moment, he changed his mind and said, "What if I set up another Power Supply Company and deliver electricity to the city power grid at a relatively low price?"
Ferral thought for a while and nodded, "Those people at Central Power Grid only care about money. If you show some goodwill, they will not refuse your request."
Central Power Grid is a listed company. Yes, it is not a government agency, but a joint-stock enterprise. In addition to Central Power Grid, there are also Eastern Power Grid, Western Power Grid, Southern Power Grid and Northern Power Grid. These five power grid companies were actually one family at the beginning.
Their predecessor was Federal Power Grid, but as the Anti-Monopoly Law plan began to be implemented throughout Federal, Federal Power Grid was split into five power grid companies, each of which has the largest and most dense power supply network on its own territory.
And the power of these companies has not been transferred because the company was split up. They still belong to a certain person, or a certain family and an interest group surrounding a certain person.
Through various cross-shareholding methods, in the eyes of the people, the trust group has been dismembered by public opinion and justice. In fact, they just changed their appearance and penetrated into the people, blending with them.
Companies of this caliber don't care who supplies power to their grid, they only care about how much money they can make, and with their energy, local authorities cannot easily interfere with their decisions.
Just one Great Blackout in the whole city or even the whole state is enough for the politicians to take the initiative to put aside their dignity and choose to compromise.
Seeing Lin Qi's calm face, Ferral couldn't help but hit him, "I'm not very optimistic about your plan. Federal Environmental Agency has rarely approved applications for thermal power. Even if the local government interferes, they won't let go. You have to be mentally prepared first."
Sabine City The electricity currently provided by the power company comes from Thermal Power Generation. In addition to various necessary energy sources, they will also incinerate municipal waste. This is also a popular way to deal with municipal waste.
Especially in big cities, the large amount of garbage every day cannot be processed if it is just landfilled. On the contrary, it becomes much easier to incinerate it.
The combustible parts will be burned to generate electricity, and the non-combustible parts, such as metals, can be sent back to the factory. With financial subsidies for garbage disposal, the sale of electricity generated by combustion, and various subsidies, power companies can still make money.
However, the environmental pollution caused by thermal power is also a huge problem. Federal Environmental Agency has rarely approved the establishment of thermal power projects, and even if it is relevant, it is useless.
After all, there are always some poor people in every region who can resist the influence of money on certain issues. If these people are not dealt with, the project will never be approved.
Lin Qi shook his head, without going into details, and then let Ferral leave.
In fact, his idea is not thermal power, but hydropower, and he even wants to get involved in Water Plant.
He heard from Hart that the lake next to the Hart houses he exchanged for the club's land might be artificially expanded in the next five to ten years and expanded into a new water source for Sabine City.
The current water source is almost at full capacity. Once the urban population increases, the economy improves in the future, and the population concentrates in the city again, there will inevitably be a huge water gap, and new water sources must be activated.
A stagnant lake cannot become a water source. If you want it to flow, it must be diverted and diverted. If you use the height difference of the terrain to build three to five small and medium-sized hydropower stations, and by the way, the water power company will be merged. He thinks there is no problem at all.
As for the current water company's disagreement?
That's impossible. Lin Qi will act as the "representative" of dozens of residents near the lake and say that they only agree that Lin Qi's company can legally use the water resources there.
The next morning, the situation in Sabine City suddenly changed. City Hall announced to the public that it would select fifteen representatives of striking workers from all walks of life to enter City Hall and sit down face-to-face with the mayor to have a serious talk to solve some of the current problems.
It seems that precisely because of the emergence of this news, the chaotic city suddenly became a little quieter than the previous few days. It can be seen from this that no one wants to see things develop like this.
People are looking forward to this matter being resolved satisfactorily.
At the same time, in the capitals of Bu Peien and Federal, there were also parades there.
On the evening of November 22, some young people deviated from the parade without registration or explanation. During the confrontation with the riot police, fierce conflicts broke out.
One teenager was shot four times and died on the spot, while another teenager was shot 11 times and died in the hospital after resuscitation failed.
Some young people suffered injuries of varying severity.
Although the riot police at the scene claimed that these young people deviated from the march route, attempted to smash up a store and rob money from it, and lit Molotov cocktails and threw them at the riot police, people still could not forgive them.
"The weapon that protects people's safety has become a sharp ax in the hands of Executioners to take away the lives of innocent people!"
In an instant, the entire Federal was like a hot pot on the fire. The pot was filled with boiling hot oil. At this time, a drop of ice water dropped in the center, and it boiled instantly! At the same time, members of Congress once again proposed a proposal to impeach the president. Congress began to formally accept President Impeachment Case and entered the voting process.
Some public opinion members began to speak out after being silent for more than half a month. They believe that the biggest problem currently stems from Federal Presidential Cabinet. The president is busy eliminating political dissidents and ignoring the rights of the people. He is even deliberately condoning such things.
Arguments about the president's incompetence pervaded the entire Federal, and Federal became a joke around the world.
In the relatively calm International Community after the war, people also need such news to refresh themselves.
Of course, this does not include the parties themselves!
