Two men in the office were sitting there discussing matters of salvation.

As long as the employment rate can be increased, it is salvation for the entire society.

The Governor bowed his head, contemplating Lynch's words. York State needed a pillar-type economic enterprise; he understood this term and roughly grasped its meaning.

Lynch did not misrepresent the concept; in fact, monopoly is quite common in the new era and will become even more common in the future!

People use technological barriers to dissolve the awkwardness of technical monopolies and use entry systems to avoid the truth of industry monopolies.

People deceive themselves by breaking up some so-called monopoly enterprises using various antitrust laws and then telling people that so-called monopoly is "uniqueness."

But as long as a company is split into two or more companies, and investors are compulsorily allowed to become shareholders, then monopoly does not exist.

Even if you were to say this to those who have never attended school, who lie on the roadside daily thinking about how to swindle the few bills in pedestrians' pockets, they would know it's false, it's deceiving, so why does society still accept this situation?

After all, monopolies hurt the capitalists, and now capitalists demand through legislation that monopoly enterprises allow them to hold shares, achieving "everyone earns money" through legislation; why oppose themselves?

The Federation Oil was split into the Northern Petroleum Company, Eastern Petroleum Company, Western Petroleum Company, Southern Petroleum Company, and Federation Oil Company.

They are still the same group of people, just with more shareholders, but they are still controlled by a minority; isn't this a monopoly?

Maybe they are indeed not monopoly enterprises anymore; at least, one private enterprise became five listed companies, each quarter and fiscal year; the reports to be looked at turned from one to five.

But besides them becoming richer, there doesn't seem to be much change; people still cannot enter this industry.

The competitiveness of these enterprise owners is terrifying, and their integration, constraint, and control over the industry are evident; if a region wants significant economic growth in the new era, a local pillar-type economic enterprise must emerge.

The entire region would operate around this enterprise, from basic raw materials, rough processing, fine processing, assembly, then sales; this company possesses unmatched energy.

So their markets are not primarily local but in other places; they have a stable rear, so they can fight in other regions or even worldwide!

The benefits they obtain will actually feed back to the entire region, creating a suitable economic ecological environment for the area.

Such situations are common in the Federation and even globally, like cities formed around a particular resource company or large group company.

Almost everyone in the entire city directly or indirectly serves this enterprise; isn't this still a monopoly?

At least the regional monopoly is inevitable.

After a long time, the Governor finally returned from deep thought; he rubbed his brow, "Then do we have any good opportunities now?"

"Rebuild a new 'Ristone'?"

After contemplating Lynch's words, he came to a conclusion he's unsure is correct; he tried to extend this thought: "If it's just rebuilding a 'Ristone,' many things and steps can be omitted, and the state's economic form can quickly adapt…."

The Ristone Group was the "pillar-type economic enterprise" Lynch referred to; a few years ago, Ristone and Henghui contributed nearly a third of the state's commercial tax revenue; although they haven't reached the degree Lynch mentioned, in the Governor's eyes, they have qualified.

Recall these issues; it was the collapse of Henghui and the downfall of Ristone Group that caused York State to slide deeper and further on employment rate issues than other states.

If these two large group companies hadn't fallen and received more support to develop, could they improve the current state's economic ecological environment?

He thought so and looked positively at Lynch, but the anticipated affirmation did not appear; instead, Lynch shook his head.

"If we hadn't encountered the previous storm, maybe, but with that storm, whether it's the Ristone Group or Henghui Group, neither can hold this banner."

"Even if light industry enterprises expand as much as possible, they cannot achieve monopoly status; no entry system, low technical barriers; these will restrict the development of these two companies."

"In normal conditions, there's no problem, but placed now, even if they have no issues, they will ultimately fall."

"We need a different form of enterprise, more aggressive, not…," Lynch spread his hands, "light industry enterprises."

The Governor furrowed his brow, "Why do you say that?"

"Because we don't have much time, Governor!"

"Light industry, we can let it hatch slowly; I have a family workshop project…."

When Lynch mentioned this, the Governor nodded; he tapped the table with his hand, "I know this project, providing low-cost production tools and raw materials to families in need, allowing them to produce some clothing, eliminating the factory stage."

He indeed had some good understanding in this aspect; after all, Sabin City's unemployment rate can rise a few points this time, so there must be some special methods.

Since effective, the Governor and state government wanted to see if it was replicable, but unfortunately, there's no good method.

Up to now, Sabin City's family workshops' revenue actually comes from Lynch's "free donation"; these products pile up like mountains in warehouses, and Lynch hasn't found a suitable market, yet he still purchases these products.

Some say he's doing this to give back to society, and some say Lynch is a deserved young leader; in any case, without a stable sales channel, even state government can't play the family workshop set, let alone other entrepreneurs.

Lynch nodded in agreement, "Such light industry production can be done; there's no technical or other monopoly aspect; we lack competitiveness in market; it can only rely on market natural elimination mechanism to play a role; this will be a very long process."

"And we absolutely cannot wait that long…," Lynch looked into the Governor's eyes, "because we are half a year away from the state election."

This sentence easily gained the Governor's favor; the easiest way in the world to make friends is to let the other person understand "we are our people," and only in this way can both sides find identity and belonging.

The Governor nodded very confidently, "Then what should we do now?"

Lynch changed the topic, "Governor, have you heard some of my views in Bupen before, like trade wars or economic plundering?"

The Governor nodded, "Yes, I've heard."

Lynch continued, "Before Mayor Landon also asked me this question, where is our way out; the answer I gave him is also suitable for your question: our way out is overseas!"

"Nagariel, Amelia, there are many opportunities; money is everywhere; the difference is whose money we want to earn, how much time, how much to earn, that is the key."

The Governor listened very seriously and gave positive feedback, "I learned through some channels about your view on Nagariel, but I think Nagariel cannot fulfill our current needs; it can't provide many positions to our people at once."

This is indeed certain; although Nagariel has many opportunities, there are more local people, and they are cheaper.

Federation people in Nagariel more play mid-to-high-level roles, not low-level social labor.

But domestic issue groups come from labor groups; the middle class and upper society can still eat and drink well; only the social underclass is the hardest hit.

Lynch acknowledged the Governor's view, "Indeed, Nagariel won't work, but Amelia Region can."

"Gafura's development focus for the next decade is all in Amelia; they would gather the power of a country to develop this region; this is our opportunity!"

After the Governor listened, he unknowingly nodded, then realized, "Talking with you is truly an enjoyable thing; I can think and have some experiences and gains I didn't have before; it's late, how about we eat and chat?"

Unknowingly, the sky had darkened; Lynch glanced at the time, realizing the content they needed to discuss couldn't be finished in a short time, and agreed to the Governor's invitation.

This dinner was not at the Governor's home but in a restaurant next to the state government.

There were quite a few people in the restaurant today, but the table around Lynch and the Governor were empty, partly for the Governor's protection and partly for protecting the privacy of the conversation between the Governor and Lynch.

Regarding whether it would hinder the restaurant from making money, certainly, it wouldn't; Mr. Adelaide would handle everything.

At the dinner table, the two talked happily; Lynch raised some ideas that gave the Governor a sense of enlightenment, especially when he talked about international relations.

For instance, no one would have expected that after a naval battle, neither the Federation nor Gafura had intentions of war; instead, they deepened cooperation in many aspects.

Some previous international cooperations that weren't agreed upon have all ended the prolonged tug-of-war with Gafura's concessions.

Then accordingly, on issues in the Amelia Region, where originally the Federation couldn't intervene, there's now a possibility of intervention!

This is the Federation's opportunity!
