The poverty class referred to people living in the west part of the city and barely surviving.
It was difficult to jump from one class to a higher one because of the severe stratification. It required not only economic support but also the recognition of the higher class. Thus, the former mayors encountered huge resistance when handling poverty.
Almost everyone in the wealthy class and the middle class was opposed to improving the status of the poverty class and making their lives better.
It was because the poverty class was equivalent to cheap labor.
Improving their quality of life and status would shake the interests of the wealthy class and the middle class-especially the wealthy class.
Other than stratification, another factor that prevented poverty from being properly addressed was the economy and productivity at that time.
Now, economic and productivity growth seemed to be out of the question. Therefore, they should focus on the wealthy class if they wanted to deal with poverty. Even if it hurt their interests, they must make them shut up and obediently accept the change.
Of course, the method to do so required further study.
“Commander, would you like something to drink?” Zander walked over and asked.
“Then make me a cup of coffee,” Sean said flatly.
Soon, Zander brought Sean a cup of coffee.
Of course, it was only ordinary instant coffee, and Sean had never been demanding about food and beverage.
After taking a sip of his coffee, Sean smiled and said, “Zander, how do you think those influential families and wealthy tycoons would react when they find out what we’ve done at the slum today?”
Zander pondered for a moment and said, “Maybe they’ll be dismissive of it. They might think you’re putting on a show and trying to build your image in a way that will give you more say in Dorodo’s administration.”
“Haha! Yes, but maybe more intense than you think. They might think I’m a nuisance.”
Zander instantly frowned at Sean’s words. He became lost in thought, trying to figure out what Sean meant.
It was a long time before favonovel.com said, “Commander, do you…”
“I just think many influential families aren’t improving the city and the economy. They are dragging them down instead. They occupy a large part of society‘s wealth. But the part they occupy is stacked like objects in a villa storeroom, doing nothing. This would be bad for a long term of development.”
Zander had pretty much figured out what Sean meant. However, favonovel.com did not think Sean would have such an idea.
He was going after the wealthy tycoons!
“Zander, I’m hosting a charity gala in three days. Help me send some invitations to the wealthy tycoons and influential families in Dorodo…”
“Sure, no problem,” Zander nodded immediately.
Suddenly reminded of something, Zander asked again, “Does this include Mayor Quentin?”
“Of course,” Sean said immediately.
A look of shock came over Zander’s face. He did not expect Sean to include Mayor Quentin as it was probably inappropriate.
