The fact that Lynch was going to attend Uncle Catherine's funeral quickly spread in Sabine City, where Mr. Lynch was the sun in the sky, making it impossible to ignore his existence.

The funeral, which was not considered lively at first, could even be said to be very deserted, suddenly became lively.

Everyone wants to meet Mr. Lynch, chat and talk.

Lynch and Catherine returned to her home before the funeral.

Catherine's parents didn't move to the best neighborhood in Sabine, Lake House, but bought a house in a middle-class neighborhood not too far from where they used to live.

The bottom society is actually more humane than the middle and upper society, and they are less willing to leave the environment they have lived in for a long time.

There are traces of their youth, their classmates, and their struggles.

Most importantly, there are people they know.

As for why they moved away instead of staying there, it is also because of a little "emotional" problem unique to the people at the bottom.

For most people, they will face the same problem. When they become "developed", they still live in apartments in remote areas or in ordinary community environments.

Then they will face two situations -

In the first case, many people will knock on their door and ask them to borrow money or do other things, as long as they can take advantage.

In the second case, there will be many people who say bad things about them in private, for example, they don’t actually make much money, or say some other bad things.

This situation is actually not very special, because it generally exists in the middle and lower classes of society.

Everyone, especially the bottom ones, they hope that they can live the life of the top ones one day, but at the same time, they don't want their friends to experience this before themselves!
It doesn't need to be too far away from the original area, as long as the community level rises to a higher level.

This way, when they come back for a walk, everyone will still be very enthusiastic.

In the living room, Catherine's mother is a little embarrassed because she was the one who objected to their being together.

At that time, Lynch was like a waste, doing nothing every day, relying on Catherine to work in the supermarket to support him.

This is not something a man should do, even if he is not as good as he is now, but at least he has to do something instead of letting his girlfriend support him!

Catherine's mother didn't think about allowing Catherine to marry a rich man, she just hoped that Catherine's husband would be a responsible person, and at that time, Lynch lacked the most.

She broke them up decisively, and now it's embarrassing.

She rubbed her hands back and forth, clenched them into balls again, and then loosened them on her legs to casually clean the invisible dust.

"Do you... want something to eat?"

"Or a cup of coffee?"

She has nothing to say, and this atmosphere of silence is more uncomfortable than talking.

Lynch shook his head with a smile, "No, I don't need it for now. Where is Mr. (Catherine's father)?"

Speaking of the things she could understand and master, Catherine's mother felt much better, "He is still working, Lynch, thank you for giving him a chance, he is very satisfied with his current job..."

Catherine's father manages a large warehouse. From a warehouse manager to a warehouse manager, her income and social status are constantly improving.

This must have been arranged by Lynch, but there are also reasons for Catherine's father, for example, his job is very solid.

He has a lot of low-level work experience and knows more about some problems in the warehouse than those senior talents who graduated from well-known universities!

And he also has many friends and colleagues here, and what he can do is often difficult for those senior talents to do.

Lynch also has his own views on enterprise management, blindly emphasizing that rules and regulations are not completely applicable to all enterprises.

You can require everyone in a financial institution to act in accordance with the rules and regulations. When the risk reaches the warning line, no matter how high the probability of profit is or how high the return is, everything should be done.

But at the bottom level, especially on human resource management issues, a certain amount of flexibility needs to be left.

He's doing a good job, at least so far, he values ​​his work, and he's a decent guy.

Lynch praised Catherine's father, which made Catherine's mother laugh from ear to ear, and the awkward atmosphere gradually dissipated a lot.

After Lynch asked some more things she knew, she was finally able to treat Lynch calmly.

After ten o'clock in the morning, everyone drove to Uncle Catherine's funeral. The small church was crowded with people in high-end suits.

This made the ordinary people who came to see Uncle Catherine off look like... a very awkward feeling.

The family members of the deceased were not dressed so high-end, but the guests who came were dressed in leather and leather shoes, which made people feel that the family members of the deceased did not pay much attention to the deceased.

But in fact the actual situation is not the case.

Everyone wanted to meet Lynch, even if they could only say a few words, even the mayor came in person.

There are many advantages to being the mayor of Sabine City. For example, he does not need to do too much work, and the city's economy can maintain a momentum of continuous growth.

But there is also a shortcoming, that is, he can't get involved in many jobs, because those things are firmly controlled by some local people.

If he wants to forcefully change these spontaneous rules, then someone will call him at night and tell him to stop fucking messing around. This is the rule set by Mr. Lynch.

Sabine City is definitely a suitable place for the mayor who wants to dawdle, but for those who are ambitious and hope to make achievements in politics, it is like a prison.

After Lynch asked everyone to respect the dead and the funeral first, the funeral scene became quiet.

Catherine's cousin looked at Lynch sitting in the first row with a strange expression, and then lowered his head to look at his father lying peacefully in the coffin——

"Today is the most beautiful moment in your life, but it's a pity you can't open your eyes to see it."

"Mayors, councilors, big businessmen, you should get up and tell them how honored you are!"

Can't tell whether it's irony or emotion, as a funeral, he needs a speech to make a conclusion.

He cut it back quite a bit because he could see that the death and mourning of a stranger wasn't really bothered at all.

They just want to talk to Lynch more!

If it was ten years ago, Catherine's cousin might have insisted on his own ideas, and would say a lot of boring, people don't care, stories that happened between their father and son to remember the old man.

But now, after being beaten by reality, he just wants to end this funeral as soon as possible, so as not to waste the time of the gentlemen.

As the bouquets were thrown into the crypt, workers started filling in the soil after the priest's prayers.

The coffin worth more than 2000 yuan was gradually covered by soil, and the atmosphere at the scene became more dignified.

In any case, a person is buried in the soil under the gaze of everyone, and they can also feel a kind of sadness of life here!

Because one day, they will become a part of this world under the gaze of people like this.

When the funeral was over, the mayor was the first to find Lynch, and Lynch thanked him and walked aside.

After he introduced himself, he began to briefly talk about some things about him, "Mr. Lynch, originally I wanted to find a time when you were free to chat with you about some issues."

"First of all, I have to thank you for everything you have done for the people of Sabine City, but now we have also encountered some problems."

Lin Qi nodded, "Just tell me the question..."

The mayor said quickly, "Do you remember the home workshop cooperation project you launched before?"

"Now these family businesses are facing roughly the same problem. They cannot buy medical insurance, and even pensions have become a problem..."

During the Great Depression, Lynch started a home workshop cooperative program in Sabine.

To put it simply, he dispatches orders to small family-based workshops, and then these families rent his production tools and raw materials for production, and then sell the products to him.

The advantage of this is that Lynch can get qualified products with almost no need to spend any money, and he can say that he has compressed the cost to the extreme——

There is no need to build a separate factory, so there is no maintenance cost for the factory and no operating cost for the land.

Without any employees, he does not need to bear any joint production liability issues, and does not even need to provide a lunch for the workers, because he does not employ any workers!
Even the wear and tear of the machine will eventually be calculated on those family workshops, and a little is deducted every month in the name of "production machine wear and tear".

If anyone pays attention to this, they will find that this cost is actually over a period of years, probably a little more than what they would pay for their next sewing machine outright!
And they need to pay to rent the machine on top of that!

It means that Lynch sold two or even three or five sewing machines to these people for the money, and the scrap iron that was scrapped in the end belonged to Mr. Lynch!
Of course, this is definitely not the exploitation and oppression of capitalists. After all, not all families could afford a high-end sewing machine during the Great Depression.

For family workshops, they are actually willing to do the same.

Because the more you do, the more you earn. In the past, you could earn two hundred yuan a month in the factory (during the Great Depression).

But after joining this family workshop cooperation plan, they can earn as little as a few cents and as much as tens of cents for producing a product!
The whole family worked together, and many families were able to achieve a monthly income of several hundred yuan during the Great Depression!

In Sabine City, including York State, countless families have been continued and maintained. No one speaks ill of Lynch, they only praise Mr. Lynch's gospel.

And these family workshops have continued to this day!
That's a fucking win-win!
