Chapter 161 Distribution of Benefits

It was a little after nine in the evening.

Jiang Zhou, along with Wang Xiao and Wu Han, arrived at a restaurant room in the Panama City Outbound Hotel.

As soon as the three of them entered, Su Tianyu immediately stood up, clasped his fists, and said, "I'm sorry, leaders. I was only gone for two days, and so many things happened in Panama City. Don't worry, I will definitely deal with Xin Xiaodong later."

These words were purely false pleasantries, but they gave everyone a way to step down. Jiang Zhou smiled and nodded, "We're all on the same side, a little friction is normal. Even brothers fight, let alone two such large groups. It's okay, I discussed everything with Commander Wang on the way here, and he was very generous."

Su Tianyu immediately extended his hand to Wang Xiao, "I'm sorry, Commander Wang, we've caused you trouble."

Wang Xiao paused for a moment, then raised his arm and shook hands with Su Tianyu.

"Everyone, please sit down!" Da Bai called out from the side.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Zhou took the lead and exchanged a few pleasantries. Wu Han smoothly cut to the chase, "Commander Su, the Huagong Association giving up its garrison power is a very magnanimous move. Hehe, shouldn't we show some appreciation?"

Su Tianyu smiled, "Of course we will."

"Then tell us about it, we're all ears," Jiang Zhou asked while drinking tea.

Su Tianyu sat up straight, organized his thoughts, and said, "What's left is the distribution of power in the administrative sector. We talked about it before, the control of the military and political power in Panama City should be limited to 'control.' It can't be too excessive, let alone completely emptied. Otherwise, if all the officials in the city are outsiders, the people will revolt sooner or later. In modern society, engaging in armed colonization is a suicidal act, and the international community will not recognize such a regime."

"That's right!"

Everyone, including Wang Xiao, nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

"My proposition is still deep cooperation. Before Panama City has the ability to defend itself militarily, we will give them certain support, and they will open up special rights for us here. To put it bluntly, the essence is still the exchange of interests, nothing else," Su Tianyu emphasized his core idea, then immediately continued, "The main distribution of rights is in three major areas: the parliament, the legislature, and the supreme administrative council. There are about one hundred and fifty seats in total, with local families in Panama City accounting for 60%, and they must have the right to vote. The remaining 40% have the right to veto major administrative and military decisions, is that okay?"

"No problem," Jiang Zhou nodded.

"I have no problem either," Su Tiannan said.

"Acceptable," Wang Xiao expressed his agreement.

Su Tianyu glanced at everyone and said in a serious tone, "Commander Jiang Zhou and I discussed this matter. The original 40% of the seats were to be allocated in a 1:1:1 ratio, with everyone sharing the seats equally. But I thought about it again, considering that the Huagong Association has indeed contributed a lot to the Panama City issue, our side is willing to cede some seats. To put it simply, after the 1:1:1 seat allocation is completed, the Huagong Association can separately draw five major seats from our side, with no restrictions on the position. And you have priority in choosing the position. Whether it's a director or a district council president, you can pick whatever you like."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

No one expected that Su Tianyu, who had been so tough a few days ago, would say such "kind" words. Jiang Zhou even suspected that Gou Liuzi (Dog Sixth) was up to no good again.

However, Gou Liuzi's next words were even more straightforward, "On economic issues, I don't agree with sharing Panama City's unique assets. For example, taking their tax revenue, or extracting blood from the canal's income through various means. Again, our military and political system entering Panama City is not an invasion, but cooperation. If we directly rob them of their money, it will inevitably reduce the people's income and cause public resentment. Then, those who jump up to oppose us will not be political factions, but ordinary people who are fighting you with guns. Therefore, we must not touch the bottom line interests. Let the people distribute their own money. Taking a step back, if we are really short of funds, we can at most alleviate the pressure by means of loans."

"That's for sure!" Jiang Zhou immediately nodded, "We will definitely not do such a thing."

"We... won't either," Wang Xiao said a little reluctantly, because the development of the Huagong Association really needed money too much, but Su Tianyu had raised the bar so high that he certainly couldn't refute it.

Su Tianyu looked at him, "I considered it, the situation of the Huagong Association is indeed relatively special, and there are many members. So before I came, I talked to Bruna's wife... oh, no, it's Bruna's current administrative secretary, Mr. Bai Hongbo. The final result of the discussion was that the municipal council will give the Huagong Association one thousand employment opportunities, the job content is the same as the workers in the canal unit, and the salary level is also above the standard."

Wang Xiao looked at Su Tianyu in disbelief, "Then... this... this is too good!"

"Help each other, hehe!" Su Tianyu smiled, "That's all I can think of for now, everyone can add to it, and you can also raise any different opinions."

After listening for a long time, Jiang Zhou asked in a somewhat uncertain tone, "That's it?"

Su Tianyu looked at him, "Yes, that's it, what's wrong?"

"Ah, it's fine as long as that's it," Jiang Zhou looked at Su Tianyu's expression and finally felt relieved.

In fact, Su Tianyu's style of doing things is difficult to figure out on the surface, but if you have been in contact with him for a long time, you will find that he is actually quite easy to cooperate with.

In Su Tianyu's code of conduct, he will never back down on matters involving the bottom line and principles, unless he can't win the fight, otherwise he will definitely not compromise.

But apart from these two things, Su Tianyu is not a very strong personality in secondary interests, including wealth, status, and personal rights, he doesn't care much about them.

Of course, the reason why Su Tianyu gave the Huagong Association so many benefits this time was definitely not because he had been too strong before, and made compromises and compensations out of guilt. It was because Su Tiannan said a lot to him in the car, and he wanted to give back to this organization emotionally, so he fought for it with Bruna.

Again, Su Tianyu never felt that he owed anyone in any distribution of benefits.

Not to mention the distant past, just talking about the battle of Panama City, in order to block the rebel army and ensure the security of Panama City's flank, Su Tianyu first dispatched nearly 16,000 people from the Chi Army and the Third Division, and fought in Sri Lanka for a full week, with more than 2,000 combat casualties alone.

And the reinforcements that reversed the battle situation were also the airborne troops from Anze City, which Su Tianyu found himself. But the Huagong Association only sent more than 3,000 people from beginning to end, and the battle ended before they even reached the front line.

With this kind of contribution, Huang Peishan still wanted to share military power? How could that be possible!

The Hua District has contributed nearly ten billion in real money, but Jiang Zhou has not made such a request, you Lao Huang...

But all in all, the result was good.

After the internal differences broke out, it was also determined which team was the core in the Panama City issue, which is definitely helpful for subsequent cooperation. Any form of handshake must first determine the primary and secondary, the so-called discussion is purely a children's game, and it will not last long.

The dinner party ended in the evening, and the distribution of benefits in Panama City was basically settled.

The Dragon City Rises.

After An Qiqi was taken back here by her father, she rested briefly for a few days before welcoming an uninvited guest.
