Hello, who is there?

Hello, who is there?

Things have really gone wrong with the travel reform.

Emma Grundig here. Mr. Schwarz, can you hear me?

I'm listening, yes. What is it?

What do you mean?

The Biggest Travel Reform ... Armin Kreinert ... Tightenings instead of openings ...?

No, no idea.

Oh that. Yes, I have.

If Armin Kreinert screwed up.

What do you mean?

If you ask me, this was no accident. Kreinert intentionally messed up the reform.

Armin Kreinert from III was to prepare a travel reform on Stephen's behalf.

But instead of implementing it, as had been discussed with Stephen, he reversed the reform into its opposite.

Allegedly by mistake.

Allegedly?

Stephen was furious! Especially since we can't reverse the reform anytime soon.

The preparation and approval process for such a major reform took years.

Because of this crap, the investors ... I mean the citizens ... lost a lot of money.

"Problems are thorny opportunities," Stephen always says.

That's terrible.

Terrible, indeed. However ...

Ah. How... wise.

Indeed! But now to the point, Schwarz.

We ... Stephen ... I mean, the Great Leader ..., are already planning the next great reform!

And after the debacle with Kreinert, we now want to involve someone we can absolutely rely on ...

... namely you, Schwarz!

Oh! I'm honored! What is it about this time?

Music, Schwarz. It's about music.

Stephen ... and the Great Leader, of course ..., want to relax the rules for music enjoyment in the Greatest Union.

That sounds reasonable. I never understood why listening to music was so strictly regulated.

That's right, Schwarz! Stephen says the market for music is gigantic!

It's about time we finally got in on this ...

I see. An excellent idea.

I mean, of course, social progress must finally enter the realm of music as well.

We think so, too. And now, that's where you come into play, Schwarz. We need your help.

You, Schwarz, are a man of the people. You are simple-minded, down-to-earth, average.

Oh?

Yes, Schwarz, of course! I am telling you that!

That's good ... isn't it?

In fact, it's very good, Schwarz! Because you are so basic, you also have acquaintances who are just as basic as you.

Explore the market for music for ordinary citizens, Schwarz!

What do I have to do for this?

Go to your building and get us records of all the hot music genres ...

... Punk, rock and pop. Or whatever they're called.

We want to know what ordinary citizens like to listen to.

Can you do that for me, Schwarz?

No problem. I can do that.

Fantastic! I'll tell Stephen that you have been very cooperative again.

If you continue like this ...

Yes? What if I go on like this?

Then you'll go far, Schwarz!

Thank you, I ...

Did you really not notice any of this?

I have no idea what you are talking about. What was going on?

Oh, you mean the reform that Armin Kreinert screwed up?
