“I call these measures investment promotion, and I propose to pass the Legislative Council this time to establish our city’s first official “Investment Promotion Law”...”
St. Jose confidently stated this set of laws and regulations that were very common in later generations, which caused some uproar among the participants. Apparently they had some thoughts on what St. Jose said, at least it sounded pretty good.
Many countries in the world now do not have written investment laws and rely more on municipal agencies to operate independently. Just like the former Maria Town, the parliament has legislative power and must pass a series of bills to extend it.
If San Jose wants to become a powerful councilor, he must win over some people in Port Blanca and cultivate power. Most of the council members appear as spokespersons for interest groups. For example, the powerful council members of the Port Blanca City Council have people behind them. With at least one interest group or family, the Republican Party itself barely represents the interests of labor unions.
With Saint Jose's power weak, a series of bills must be passed to tear this gap open.
In Puerto Blanca, the mayor and the city government have greater power than the parliament. This is also the result of the decentralization of power in Puerto Blanca. This time, people were also sent to the city hall to observe the records, but the main stage was given to It's these MPs and Speakers.
According to the principle of separation of powers in the Argentine Constitution and Buenos Aires Provincial Law, the judicial branch of Port Blanca is the weakest, and the Congress and the Municipal Government are the two most powerful organs of power, respectively responsible for legislative and executive powers. .
This meeting is mainly to pass some new bills and local regulations.
St. Jose had some specific bills printed in the new Albanian newspaper circulated.
"Yes, I have discussed it with Congressman San Jose. The provincial government has no way to take care of us. We must carry out self-rescue activities."
Councilor Ensepp Alexander also raised his hand to speak in support of St. Jose. He represents the interests of some local emerging capital. This is also the reason why St. Jose can chat with him. He is a newly appointed councilor. , only in his thirties.
"I think this bill is good, but the possibility of it being realized is very low. I think the most important thing is to resume production, especially because local beef and flour mills are relatively weak. If they are hit by external shocks, they will cause unemployment."
"I also think so."
The members of the Bariloche family stood up and expressed their opposition, and the Hector Gay family also echoed.
It is normal for some people to object, and it is also a necessary procedure.
"I think we can give it a try. After all, it will take too long to recover on our own strength. It will take at least two years, which is not enough to complete this arduous task. Moreover, we can introduce the book bar industry, not necessarily flour. Factory and the like.”
A Republican congressman named Bailey Oslo also raised his hand to express his support. Even though the Republican Party is already the biggest troublemaker in Port Blanca, he realizes that this bill is still good, but the possibility of it being realized is too low.
“We in the Republican Party believe that this can be tried. Our Port Blanca has been established for so long, and its development speed is not as fast as some emerging towns in the country. This shows that times have changed.
We need to communicate more with the outside world. I know that there is a small town in the north that developed in just a few years with the help of external capital. And our Port Blanca has many advantages, and our unemployment rate is very terrible. At least half of the workers are unemployed..."
Although the Republicans like to organize strikes and are hated by most of the powerful people in Port Blanca, they also know that strikes can only be done when the capitalists make profits. The factories in Port Blanca are now in dire straits, and they will not be able to get money if they go on strike. .
Several Republican congressmen just had a discussion. Although they received a lot of votes, they were hated by others and most people did not take them seriously.
"Member Saint-Jesse, you can continue to convince us. I am very interested in your bill."
Bailey continued, he also tried to find a sense of presence, but no one paid attention to him, which made him a little embarrassed.
"Okay, I think Port Blanca has great potential and can be built into the largest industrial city in the south. Moreover, various factories can be built here, such as chemical plants, clothing factories, etc., not flour mills, meat processing plants... There are some machinery factories that do not conflict with local factories and can also increase employment..."
St. Jose nodded and continued, improving his statement. Republicans and other congressmen nodded frequently in agreement.
After Saint-Jesse spoke, he sat down and other members began to discuss.
The entire meeting is like a huge vegetable market. I have to say that besides having people behind you as a member of parliament, eloquence is also very important. Most of these people are masters of debate, but they just talk a lot of nonsense.
Finally, the new Speaker Heranto knocked on the table, and the whole venue suddenly became quiet. Everyone in the venue turned their attention to Heranto, and he stood up calmly.
Heranto is a member of the Martinez family, his name is Heranto Martinez. He is also the largest capital force in Port Blanca and has been the most severely damaged, so he is quite interested in the new proposal.
“Okay, Mr. Speaker, I think what all the members said is very reasonable, but I think the most important thing is not to introduce or not to introduce, but to develop the city.
I believe that only development can solve problems. The reason why all problems are exposed now is because development has stagnated or even regressed. If we do not develop well, we cannot improve. If we develop in various ways and develop our city, many problems will arise. It can be solved very well..."
St. Jose talked eloquently,
"There is also a question of where is the appropriate location for this industrial zone and how to prepare funds for construction."
one MP asked.
"This issue is indeed critical. My idea is to raise funds by ourselves and through multiple channels."
At any time, the issue of money is the first priority, and it is also an offending job. In the past, raising funds mainly relied on tax collection and donations. The taxation of Puerto Blanca can be said to be a mess, similar to the original town of Santa Maria. It's a big deal to earn one to two million pesos a year.
The current situation in Puerto Blanca is also the current situation in all Argentinian towns. The tax system is simply not there, or there is no one.
"So who is responsible for taking the lead on this investment issue, the municipal government or the city council."
The congressman continued to ask.
"As for this, it's up to the city government and the council to vote. It's not something I can decide. I'm only responsible for proposing motions. It's up to the city hall to solve the problem."
This issue of leadership really needs to be discussed by the council and city hall. To be honest, it is not a lucrative job, and there is no telling where it might end up.
After a final inquiry, Saint-Jesse convinced most of the members to vote by a show of hands to pass the Investment Attraction Bill. There were five or six other bills passed in the same period, most of which were correction bills.
There is not much that is constructive, and there is a lot of nonsense. It was almost decades ago that a new bill like St. Jose's was launched.
Most congressmen will not offend others unless their vital interests or the groups behind them are touched. In addition, Saint-Jesse has won over some congressmen, and this new bill does not infringe on other local interests and can be passed. It's also normal.
Coupled with St. Jose's remarks, it does sound reasonable.
The day after the meeting, the council also held a banquet, inviting prominent figures such as the mayor and deputy mayor of the city hall. Saint Jose also attended for the first time.
He took Elena with him as usual. At the banquet, Saint Hesse also met some people from the municipal system and had some friendly and in-depth exchanges.
This banquet was much larger than the ones he had attended before, and it was very valuable. Representatives of some local forces or family patriarchs also attended.
St. Jose held Elena's hand and held the red wine, and walked towards Mayor Otto and his wife who were standing on the balcony. The two briefly shook hands and exchanged a few words.
“Congressman San Jose, thank you for your contribution to our Puerto Blanca this legislative session.”
Otto Liv, 47, a member of the Justice Party, is currently serving as the mayor of Puerto Blanca and is serving his last term.
Otto also saw the potential of San Jose from this new bill and the benefits of this bill to the Port of Blanca.
Although Otto was unable to break the forces of all parties in Port Blanca, he could be regarded as conscientious and had a good reputation.
"Mr. Mayor, this is what I should do as a council member."
Saint Jose had a gentle face and did not take credit. Elena and the mayor's wife were chatting next to him. Elena was familiar with these things and helped Saint Jose a lot.
"This investment bill is well done. The city hall will send people to cooperate. I wonder if you are interested in taking the lead and being the person in charge."
"Mr. Mayor, this is a bit against the rules."
Saint Jose still really wanted to get this position. After all, he was paving the way for his company, and others couldn't do it. He didn't have the resources, but there was no happy expression on his face. Instead, he frowned.
"There is no problem with this, and you don't want to just be elected as a member of the council. Even if you are the speaker, you don't have much future. Besides, you must have more than ten years of experience to be elected as the speaker. Why not consider developing in the city hall? Some necessary Experience is essential.”
Otto continued to advise that no one in the city hall is willing to take the lead. They prefer mature solutions, and pioneering things are thankless.
"The team at City Hall does not exclude the leadership of some powerful councillors. For example, Heranto once took charge of some visiting projects, which was very helpful for him to become the speaker."
Otto's words are 70% true and 30% false. If you don't know what he is like as a person, you can easily be misled by him.
"Besides, no one knows this project better than you."
"Maybe, I can give it a try? But this is still too difficult after all, and I need more support."
St. Hesse pretended to be embarrassed and said that he needed to fight for more benefits.
"Of course, I will send a team to you. It's no problem if you don't achieve results. It's just a try anyway."
In Puerto Blanca, the parliament has a close relationship with the city hall, and there has not been much confrontation. This is also because although the Justice Party can be said to control the city hall, no one wants to see the executive power dominate. On the surface you come and go, but secretly there are many alliances.
Large banquets like this are an important channel for them to communicate.
Saint Jose was the most handsome boy at this party.
Many people came over to make friends, and they became familiar with each other. He seemed to be a popular member of the parliament.
There are also some people who are waiting to see the joke.
As for some of the mayor's performances, some interested people also saw it. Otto still had a way of winning over people, and St. Jose also showed a proper expression of gratitude, which made many people secretly laugh.
Otto is not a good person. Of course Saint Jose knows that. As for why he does this, it is his purpose.
It’s not certain who will win.
Who knows who is taking advantage of whom.
…
After this legislative meeting and this banquet, the city hall saw the potential of San Jose and did not mind adding icing on the cake. San Jose directly became the guest of Mayor Otto and became a "person who can freely enter and exit the city hall." "Sir, Congressman", there are only about 10 such congressmen in Puerto Blanca.
While promoting investment promotion legislation, Saint-Jesse officially became the first person in charge of the Port of Blanca Investment Promotion Group, and connected with the Fifth District of the municipal government to establish the Port of Blanca Trade and Processing Zone.
The trade processing zone covers an area of 15 square kilometers and will be built into a new industrial zone in Port Blanca. San Jose has set up its investment team headquarters here. Otto did send a lot of people over, including some young civil servants. .
He took these members to visit the neighborhoods, appease the citizens of the Lingang Industrial Zone, and promised employment and other things. Soon a construction and engineering department was established in the industrial zone of St. Jose, and Barron's Bank was used to provide commercial loans to carry out preliminary construction.
On November 8, Barron's Bank and Lingang Industrial Zone signed a loan contract for the infrastructure construction of the industrial zone. On the day of the signing, Mayor Otto personally helped St. Jose.
San Jose held some pretentious press conferences, and then there were some signing ceremonies one after another.
On November 12, the first investment contract was successfully signed. Maya Chemical signed an investment agreement of US$2 million with Port Blanca Lingang Industrial Zone to build a large-scale chemical plant. This shocked the entire Port Blanca and was also carried out by major newspapers. large-scale publicity.
"This guy does seem to have some tricks up his sleeve."
Otto looked at the busy San Jose. As the ribbon-cutting tool man, he chatted with Sean, the general manager of Maya Chemical Industry, but did not get much useful information.
The background of St. Jose in China is still relatively mysterious. Of course, the mayor of a small Puerto Blanca cannot find out, so many people just regard the signing of St. Jose as good luck.
And Saint Jose continued to sign contracts with Blue Cloud Shoes and Clothing non-stop.
On November 15, the investment team officially signed a contract with Lanyun Shoes and Clothing.
On November 18, the company signed a contract with Leidun Heavy Industry.
On November 20, the company signed a contract with Buenos Aires Hydropower Group.
The entire Port Blanca was completely boiling.
