Chapter 175(1/3)
: Fighting Three Links Again, Electrical Chapter
North America.
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia Industrial Area.
Various slogans, plastic bags, beer bottles, and toilet paper are scattered on the streets that have been in disrepair.
Sirens sounded from all directions, and occasionally fire engines roared past.
Through several low buildings, two thick black smoke pillars rose under the northern sky.
This is the fourth time that United Defense has been defeated by Boom.
The first time Nash was killed by Boom, according to the investigation records of "Folbo", there were fragments of the Mavericks guide egg remaining at the scene.
The second time the FMC headquarters was destroyed by Boom, there were also fragments of the Mavericks guidance egg left on the scene.
For the third time, Boom destroyed the Harsco laboratory, and fragments of the Maverick egg guide can still be seen at the scene.
In addition, when Raymond was attacked, he was also a calf.
And now, the fourth time, the fifth time...
No one doubts that Factory Director Xu lost his own company because of Boom.
Even workers protesting against layoffs all went to the Philadelphia Police Department to demand the arrest of the damn culprits.
Even the vast majority of Philadelphia citizens participated.
Because Harsco, the world's largest steel grating company, has 70,000 jobs.
FMC Food Chemical Company has 3 food factories, 2 machinery factories, and 1 chemical materials factory, with 30,000 jobs.
At the same time, these jobs have indirectly solved the employment problem of more than 200,000 people.
There are a total of 1.5 million people in Philadelphia, and two factories have been affected by Boom, which is equal to one in five people and will lose their source of income for a long time to come.
This is one of the main reasons for deindustrialization in Europe and the United States.
Once a factory goes bankrupt, or is accidentally destroyed, or a new industrial revolution is born, it will definitely cause disaster. It is better to engage in finance and services together.
Of course, Philadelphia was in chaos and no one cared what to do. People were angry and just wanted to find the culprit.
State capital, police station, court...
More and more people are gathering in the main city area...
Gradually, a few bursts of gunfire appeared sparsely.
Then the fire truck turned around and no longer put out the fire, but sprayed the crowd.
Then dozens of burly and strong men rushed up, roaring for freedom and human rights.
Suddenly, the scene became more lively.
…………
Xu Fei was wrapped in quilt, sitting in the dilapidated Harsco headquarters office, looking over the salary system.
The second sister held a soldering iron and gritted her teeth to vent about her expensive suits, leather shoes, and ties.
"Director, look, is it okay?"
"No, it's like being bombed. What are you doing, torture?"
"Then I might as well light a fire, throw your clothes in, burn them for a while and then pick them out."
"Good idea, go quickly."
"hold head high!"
The second sister picked up the tattered clothes, walked into the corridor, and started to light a fire.
Xu Fei continued to look at the salary system.
He doesn't want to lay off employees either, but with 100,000 employees, the average hourly wage is $23 and the average monthly salary is $5,520.
Not counting overtime, not counting benefits, not counting winter and summer subsidies, not counting fuel subsidies, the monthly expenditure is US$552 million, and the annual expenditure is US$6.624 billion.
This is equivalent to buying a joint defense building in one year!
Especially after the Joint Defense Headquarters was boomed, the FMC headquarters was boomed, and the Harsco Laboratories were boomed, many businesses were suspended, and the two factories were unable to exit, and they have been losing money for three consecutive months.
A rough calculation shows that United Defense will file for bankruptcy if it loses money for another five months.
No wonder Raymond gave the company to himself regardless of whether the share of the dog sales was enough to pay for the purchase.
No wonder Smith, the great genius of General Motors, is thinking of ways to make money and pay his salary every day.
"Anyone who tells me again in the future that salary is not considered a cost at all will be slapped in the face by me."
Xu Fei printed out the tax records and picked up the buzzing encrypted mobile phone, "Crooked?"
Pupu: "Xu, how are the preparations going? We and Raymond have been waiting for a long time, and Romney has also contacted Fobol."
"Is the CNN reporter coming soon?"
"Here he is, the protagonist of the TEP car advertisement."
"Yes, everyone is in position!"
"Good director!"
"From today on, please call me Su Poxu."
Dududu~~
"Are you so disrespectful?"
Xu Fei put his cell phone in his arms and found his second sister who was burning clothes, "Okay, why did you grab your crotch and burn it so hard?"
"Crossing the line of fire will definitely burn your crotch."
"That makes sense."
Half an hour later.
The gate of Harsco steel grating production plant.
Xu Fei was wearing a burnt and tattered suit, holding on to his dirty leather shoes that had fallen off the soles. His face was dark and he looked confused when he was escorted out by security.
Click!
The CNN reporter who had been waiting for a long time captured a heartbreaking scene, "Mr. Xu, what happened?"
Xu Fei trembled incoherently: "I thought all cities in North America would be like Boston, where the streets are green, the people are qualified, the police are proactive and enthusiastic, and the whole city is safe."
"So, I took IELTS and TOEFL just to study at MIT... I never expected that,"
"It's less than 12 hours since I arrived in Philadelphia..."
"Director Xu, the line is wrong, it's 24 hours." CNN reporter kindly reminded.
"Oh, less than a day after arriving in Philadelphia, they not only destroyed my factory but also beat me!"
"Mr. Xu, I heard that you plan to lay off employees?"
"No, it's impossible. I have never given such an order! You can check the latest announcements from the two factories. Harsco purchased a series of production lines from TEP to increase the production of steel gratings. FMC Food Chemical Company increased multi-functional warfare
The production of cars. The increase in production requires more workers and at least 100,000 new jobs. We can’t just lay off old employees. Someone must be targeting us!”
"You mean, someone deliberately sabotaged it?"
"Yes, you know, before I came, the Harsco Laboratory was gone, the FMC headquarters was gone, and the United Defense Department also lost its external liaison department... Philadelphia was too chaotic, and the gangsters were too cruel, which made me very insecure.
Feeling. I suggest that the Light Armament Association lower its caliber requirements and allow peace-loving citizens to be equipped with R-Gs, T-Ds, and light tanks to protect their own interests from infringement!"
“Very good advice.”
The CNN reporter carefully recorded, "Mr. Xu, can you reveal what caused the Boom?"
"You should ask the police."
After saying that, Xu Fei was pressed into the bulletproof version of the red flag by the burly security guard, and walked away under the protection of three helicopters.
The CNN reporter put away the interview script and looked up to see several "Forboroughs" carrying suitcases and walking out of the quarantine area.
"Hello sir, have you found anything?"
"Sorry, no comment."
The 'Forboroughs' walked away quickly, and could faintly hear 'Maverick', 'Special Detonation Technique', 'General Electric' and so on.
The CNN reporter held up his microphone just in time to record it.
At this time, Raymond, Pope, and Romney came out from behind the low wall next to them.
Pu Pu: "I think we should go make a movie."
"In your big hotel?" Romney said noncommittally.
“Is there any place more upscale than my hotel?”
Raymond: "I'm more curious about how Xu bribed this veteran CNN reporter."
