"You mean they will help us financially just for a good reputation?"
Lu Xiang looked at Song Lan with strange eyes.
Today, Song Lan spoke with a different aura than before. If she understood correctly, this was probably even more arrogant than the Foster family and the Inspection Department.
"That's right, the money will be collected and the people will be arrested."
Today you are a sponsor of fighting crime, but if you commit a crime tomorrow and are discovered by your buddy, don't blame your buddy for being sorry for you.
There was a lot of discussion in the conference room.
The Inspection Department collects illegal money and will actually help those unscrupulous companies. The battles between companies often escalate to the level of hiring murderers to kill people. What the Inspection Department has to do is to stop the hired murders from burglaries. After all, the Seventeenth There are many people at the bottom of the district who hate businesses to the core, and it is reasonable to kill someone after a burglary.
"So I say this is only a short-term approach and can only solve the urgent need of current financial constraints."
The big companies in the 17th district are not stupid. If they do too many things like burning bridges, they will naturally withdraw financial assistance to law enforcement officers, and they are very likely to have a revengeful mentality and use the funds to fund criminals to give them money. Creating trouble.
"Really solving the department's funding problem will be a big problem we face in the future."
Song Lan concluded.
He is just an ordinary office worker, not Doraemon or a bank robber. He cannot directly solve the future financial problems of the law enforcement department with a slap on the forehead.
This time they have offended the Foster family and the coalition government so thoroughly that they have to spend energy to quell the media storm. As long as Lu Xiang serves as the head of the law enforcement department for one day, they may not be able to get financial assistance from the coalition government. , which is why the next mayor is crucial.
If the mayor of Lyon is taken over by puppets of those big families, then their situation will be quite difficult in the future.
"But, how should we do it specifically?"
The chief of the statistics section was particularly concerned about this. Although Song Lan's words sounded reasonable, he did not think that a group of them stayed in the law enforcement department and did nothing, and those companies took the initiative to send money to their doorsteps.
“Propaganda, publicity, publicity.”
Song Lan said, "So far, 'enthusiastic citizens' have helped us solve several cases. In a sense, he and we have formed a good cooperative relationship. It is foreseeable that such a relationship will continue to It will continue to continue.”
The section chiefs listened very carefully, but no one knew that when Song Lan said these words, her heart was bleeding.
After the city-wide meeting, he originally planned to let the "enthusiastic citizens" wash their hands and withdraw from the world and ignore the disputes. However, only a few days later, he had to report the crimes of the suburban prison again as an "enthusiastic citizen" The problem of riots, and now, in order to solve the department's financial problems, he had to let himself attack in the form of a tool man.
"After the city-wide meeting, the reputation of the Foster family and the Inspection Department plummeted. Not only the citizens of the 17th District, but also people from other areas joined in the condemnation. So, who is the loudest voice in the 17th District now? People? There is no doubt that they are 'citizens', and we have restored our reputation due to recent events. Once we publicize our long-term cooperation with 'citizens', this will be quite beneficial to us as law enforcement officers.
"Currently, in order to avoid getting into trouble, those large companies are cutting off at the speed of light with the Inspection Department and the Foster family, at least on the surface."
After people have wealth, they will pursue fame and fortune, whether in 2020 or 2166.
Executives of large companies don't want to be scolded by enthusiastic netizens every day when they get home. If things go on like this, it will definitely have an extremely negative impact on their spirits and may even lead to depression.
"Although we will not promise them anything, we can help them write a biography in the name of the law enforcement department to praise their financial assistance to the cause of fighting crime."
This does not mean accepting illegal money without conscience, but stating the facts.
They will indeed respond to the citizens' expectations and spend this money on fighting crime, striving to find enough evidence as soon as possible to bring the evil entrepreneurs to justice.
"To this end, we need a long-term publicity window to maintain good communication with citizens in a timely manner and let them know the direction of our work."
In fact, they have a publicity department in name, but Lu Xiang has never paid attention to external publicity work. This department was later merged into the statistics department, and it was in a state of having nothing to do for a long time. .
Having said this, Song Lan took out a manual from his briefcase.
Although it is a manual, it uses the technology of 2166. It is more like a tablet computer made in the style of a manual, with an electronic screen replacing the pages. "This is a brochure for a local prosthetic hospital. We can also use it to We use the same method for publicity. In each weekly issue, in addition to character specials, we can also announce the number of crimes and crime rate trends in the past week, as well as detailed explanations of some recent cases that have attracted public attention."
Compared with the various speculations on the Internet, the law enforcement department can provide the most authoritative data and results.
"We could call it the Law Enforcer's Handbook."
Under the current situation in the 17th district, in order to cut off from the inspection department as soon as possible, Song Lan believed that entrepreneurs would very much hope that they would appear in this manual as a positive figure.
After Song Lan finished speaking, the conference room fell into a long silence.
Tens of seconds later, the head of the Statistics Department applauded first, and then the applause became continuous in the blink of an eye.
This is a path they never envisioned.
They have been following in the footsteps of their supervisor, focusing all their attention on fighting crime every day. If Song Lan hadn't started the conversation, they wouldn't even have paid special attention to cutting the financial budget in half.
"As expected of you, Section Chief Song."
Chief Snake said with emotion that many legends about Song Lan have been circulating among various departments of law enforcement.
Song Lan,
A man who was everywhere except catching criminals.
Snake was very pleased.
With such a man sitting behind the law enforcement department, they can be more focused and active on the front line of fighting crime.
"So, let's start voting."
Lu Xiang had a smile on her face. She originally asked the question just to get Song Lan to leave her job, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually start a heart-wrenching speech in front of many section chiefs.
"As for Song Lan's concurrent appointment as the head of the Propaganda Section, please raise your hands if you agree."
The section chiefs present did not hesitate at all. This is the result that everyone expected.
Except Song Lan himself.
"Director Lu, this, this isn't right."
Song Lan's face darkened, "The Propaganda Department has long been merged into the Statistics Department, so the head of the Statistics Department should be the concurrent one."
"how you said that?"
The chief of the Statistics Section waved his hands repeatedly, "It would be perfect for you to lead the new Propaganda Section, Section Chief Song. No one is more qualified for this position than you. Let us work together for the future of law enforcement!"
