Chapter 134: People’s hearts are broken and it’s not surprising(2/2)
Wayne Group will be responsible for this safety accident to the end. If employees are unfortunately killed in this safety accident, Wayne Group will compensate them a large sum of money.
If you are injured or disabled, there will also be a corresponding compensation policy.
Of course, the compensation promises made by this public relations executive are all within Wayne Group's plan, and all compensation losses can be covered by the profits from full-scale production.
When profits are greater than losses, the balance of capital is that simple.
The words of the public relations executive of Wayne Group not only attracted a lot of attention under the cameras of these media reporters, but also gave Wayne Group a wave of impression points in the hearts of the family members of the injured and injured employees!
Director Barnes, on the other hand, watched coldly from the sidelines as this public relations executive performed a crazy show for the camera.
He now really wanted to go up and grab the other party's collar and ask him - instead of compensating these casualties here, why not stop work and take a day off?
If we had stopped work and had a day off as he said, there would never have been such a huge casualty!
It's a pity that he is only the chief of the police department. These safety incidents do not fall within his jurisdiction. Moreover, if they are really investigated, the entire Gotham belongs to his jurisdiction. Within his jurisdiction, no matter what the reason,
, the bomb attack occurred, all due to his dereliction of duty.
Thinking of this, Barnes could only force himself to calm down and looked coldly at the executive of the Wayne Group's public relations department.
Moreover, he also knew in his heart that the chemical plant was still producing at full capacity, but it was not a decision that the public relations executive could make, and venting his anger on him would have no effect.
Soon, with the full support of the Gotham Police Department and some Wayne Group employees, the rescue operation came to an end.
It's not because the power of chemical plant explosions is too low, but because the power of chemical plant explosions is too high.
If there was still room for rescue, most of the casualties would have escaped from the ruins of the chemical plant on their own.
Even if those people trapped in the ruins were not killed on the spot by the explosion, they were poisoned by chemical reagents leaked due to the explosion, and there was no rescue value at all.
Soon, the number of casualties in the chemical plant explosion was counted.
Number of injured: 1,379
Death toll: 748
Because the scale of this chemical factory is really large, it naturally recruits a lot of workers, most of whom are from Gotham itself.
More than 700 people died. Such a huge death should have attracted collective condemnation from the citizens of Gotham.
However, the death compensation price offered by Wayne Group is very high.
A full two hundred thousand dollars!
Don't underestimate two hundred thousand dollars.
For wealthy people, two hundred thousand dollars may be less than a day's expense.
But for an ordinary family, an annual income of 200,000 US dollars is already higher than 90% of the families in the entire beautiful country!
This is especially true for these working-class families. Originally working in a chemical factory, after paying taxes, it may take several years to earn 200,000 US dollars, and they may even face the risk of being laid off along the way.
Now that they can get two hundred thousand US dollars in one go without having to pay taxes, what else do they have to be dissatisfied about?
After all, in the city of Gotham, the average price of a human life is only twenty dollars.
That’s right, not ten thousand!
Therefore, instead of collectively condemning Wayne Group, the families of those killed employees praised Wayne Group's "humanitarian spirit" everywhere...
On the contrary, it is the families of injured employees and even disabled employees who feel the most resentment.
They complained about why their family member was not killed on the spot, but was injured or even disabled...
Although Wayne Group's compensation to them was lower than that of the injured employees, it was still considerable.
However, unlike those employees who were killed, a larger part of this compensation will be used for the subsequent treatment of the injured. If you lose the ability to work due to disability, this compensation will also be used for subsequent living needs.
There is not much, or even none, available for discretionary spending.
It’s simply heartbreaking!
…
However, Levi has long been accustomed to the collapse of people's hearts in Gotham.
Is it possible that if it explodes again, Barbara will still have three views of her, killing her father and mother?
Now Li Wei's attention has been attracted by the windfall that just arrived.
The death toll of more than 700 people means that at the moment of the explosion, Levi's soul essence income was more than 700.
Not only does it replenish the soul essence for purchasing Akali, the Thorn of Outliers, but it also has a surplus to replenish the cost of purchasing Card Master Drizzt.
For the recent dwindling income from soul essence, this is simply a huge amount of money!
…
At the same time that Levi was happy because of his income from soul essence.
On the other side, as the news was broadcast on many media, the entire Gotham City began to denounce Jerome, selectively forgetting the role played by Wayne Group in it.
Of course, there are also reasons why Director Barnes did not completely break up with the Wayne Group.
The whole of Gotham began to condemn Jerome.
No one noticed at all that these media were eating the human blood of the injured and injured employees. Maybe some people noticed, but no one cared.
Moreover, it is not just the media who eat the human blood of the injured and injured employees, the next person to eat the human blood will soon jump out.
It was the billionaire businessman and one of the investors in Gotham's reconstruction plan - Theodore Galavan.
"I, Theodore Galavan, hereby severely condemn the murderer of this bombing, Jerome, and challenge him. It is not a skill to hurt the citizens of Gotham. If you have the ability, come to me!"
The Galavan family swears that I will never compromise with terrorists like you who disrupt social order..."
On TV, Galavan was giving a passionate speech.
In the end, he did not forget to give himself a good image score.
"I express my deepest sympathy to those Wayne Group employees who were injured or killed in this explosion, and I plan to hold a charity party five days later in the evening to raise donations from the injured in the explosion.
All proceeds from this charity gala will be used to help the injured and their families caused by the explosion..."
It must be said that Galavan's political sense is very keen, or in other words, his plan is very complete.
The timing of his appearance in the news was very appropriate. Not only did he express his opposition to Jerome, but it also came at a time when the families of the injured were worried about their future livelihoods. He stood up and said that he would hold a charity gala for this purpose.
In an instant, the name Theodore Galavan was firmly imprinted on the minds of Gotham citizens.
Just this speech earned him a lot of support.
Even now, Gallovan has been announced that he will run for Gotham's next mayor, and there has been considerable public outcry.
However, there is no shortage of sober people among the citizens of Gotham.
They also have a doubt in their minds, why is the timing of Galavan's speech so perfect this time? Is he related to this explosion, or is it part of a show?
But how could Galavan leave such obvious flaws?
What was broadcast next on the news perfectly covered up the doubts about Galavan's actions.
"Just now, Mr. Sylvan Galavan received an anonymous email from Jerome. In the email, Jerome left such a sentence. Not only did he leave the answer to the riddle,
Death threats were also issued against Mr. Theodore Galavan..."
Immediately afterwards, a note appeared on the news screen on the TV.
The fonts on the note were printed by a printer and cannot be discerned from the handwriting.
There is this sentence above.
"The one thing the Waynes and their coffee have in common is that they both get cold, and so do you, Mr. Galavan."
The threat is self-evident.
In an instant, the only suspicious point in Galavan's behavior was covered up, and everything seemed very reasonable.
It turned out that he had received death threats.
No wonder Mr. Galavan stood up and challenged Jerome...
Those who originally suspected that he was putting on a show instantly became his supporters, and Galavan's approval rating soared once again.
…
"This guy is really a good actor!" Levi sighed as he leaned against the window of the dean's office.
I have to admit that Gallevan's various plans and even his acting skills were perfect. Even if I was not an insider, I would probably be fooled by him.
Who would have thought that such a person would be Jerome’s sponsor behind the scenes?
It's a pity that the last part of the other party's plan was to kill Jerome at a charity party and then announce his participation in the mayoral election.
This plan is destined to fail...
Levi noticed through his vision that not only Jerome and Ian had learned all of his plans, but even Scarecrow Jonathan was lurking near Jerome at this time.
Facing three people who had loaded the hero template, Galavan actually wanted to kill Jerome with a knife...
This is equivalent to a minion in Summoner's Rift trying to kill a full-health hero head-on...
I have to say, it’s so whimsical that even Levi wouldn’t dare to have such a dream!
