"How much do you think we will spend on this campaign?"

Mr. Trueman asked the question that everyone is curious about, how much does it cost to run for president.

As the governor and a core supporter of the president, Lynch has the power to access some of the expense details. He is interested in these and knows something about them.

"First of all, we need to print posters for you. There are about two hundred cities in the Federation that need our promotion. Calculated based on 200,000 posters for each city, this will require at least 40 million posters."

"The good news is that there are printing houses that specialize in this job. They can reduce the cost to a suitable range. Printing posters costs about 4 million to 6 million, depending on our needs."

"If the paper and paint need to be better, the price will naturally be higher, but if we don't pursue too good results, the price can be reduced a lot."

Mr. Trueman frowned when he heard this part. There is so much money for printing posters, but what about posting posters?

Lynch seemed to notice his worries and took the initiative to explain, "There is a special company responsible for posting posters. We only need to send the posters and choose a plan, and they will help us complete it."

“It’s much, much cheaper than having someone put up the posters ourselves!”

He emphasized his tone a little, which also made Mr. Troman realize that there was something behind this.

He asked softly, "Illegal immigrants?"

Lynch nodded.

In fact, many illegal immigrants enter the federation through various channels every day. These people who have no entry records and official permission are illegal immigrants.

The natives of the Federation have great dissatisfaction with illegal immigrants and legal immigrants. They always think that these immigrants take away their jobs...

Coupled with immigrants' low demand for job benefits and benefits, many capitalists always feel that enough is given to workers and are unwilling to increase their benefits and benefits.

There are some core contradictions here. If these contradictions are not resolved, the contradiction between native workers and immigrant workers will not be resolved.

In order to reduce local labor costs, it is no secret that some companies use illegal immigrants overtly or covertly.

At first, the workers' union would encourage workers to go on demonstrations and so on, but as more and more legal expatriate workers came to Nagaril, people no longer made trouble for it.

The federal Employment Security Act passed the year before last year stipulated that each enterprise must have a certain number of federal local workers to ensure that the legal rights and interests of local workers are not infringed, otherwise it will be illegal.

This move greatly reduced the conflicts between federal workers and immigrants. They also realized that some things cannot be changed. As long as their own interests are not harmed, they will no longer make trouble.

This gives opportunities to many small companies, like these small companies posting posters.

There may be only a dozen or dozens of people in the entire company, and it's possible that even the boss himself is an illegal immigrant or not a federal citizen.

This was done deliberately in order to avoid legal support to the greatest extent after the incident. The member states of the World Development Council have signed repatriation treaties. Some people will find some small countries to register their identities, and then come to the federation to do some gray work. Business.

When they are caught, the people behind them will demand repatriation through state channels.

These people themselves are large taxpayers, and for small countries, they are no less than the core force supporting the economy. A simple fine does not even require jail time. After a period of time, they can return to the federation under a different identity and continue to do what they do. live.

Naturally, the people they employ are basically illegal immigrant workers. These people do not have any protection in the federal government and need to make a living. They are willing to work even for a very meager salary.

This is why these contracting companies can undertake all kinds of basic work at a loss and still make a profit!

In fact, this kind of thing is often exposed and sometimes reported, but neither the Immigration Bureau nor the Department of International Affairs has much interference in this matter.

If no one reports it, the Immigration Bureau will pretend not to know. Only if someone reports it will they take action.

The development of the federation requires these cheap labor, but through legal channels, the feelings of ordinary workers need to be taken into account. After all, the federation has stopped its labor immigration policy.

The gap is getting bigger and bigger, but the channels are closed. Sometimes you need to be a little confused to be a human being, and you also need to be a little confused to be an official.

Lynch's admission made Mr. Trueman sigh slightly. He knew these things, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Compared with those workers abroad, these domestic workers are simply bosses. They need chicken or beef for lunch, a bottle of beer, and are opposed to the length and content of work.

Mr. Trueman, a man of "honesty," was also uncomfortable talking about the issue.

"Apart from this part, the rest are the expenses for various speeches, TV station promotion expenses, and the expenses for buying newspaper front pages and magazine special issues..."

Mr. Trueman was a little numb in the end. He knew that electing a president required a lot of money, but he didn't know that electing a president... requires so much money!

He couldn't help but interrupt Lynch and asked, "How much money did you donate when Mr. President was campaigning?"

Lynch smiled slightly and did not answer, but the state of his facial expression gave Mr. Trueman a realistic guess.

"More than ten million...?"

Still no answer, but he already knew.

Then, he sighed, with some expressions on his face that he didn't know how to describe, but he quickly regained his composure.

Perhaps this is why the federal president can never get rid of capitalists!

Yes, the president himself cannot have so much money to participate in a campaign that he may not win. He must rely on the power of capitalists to have enough funds to run.

There is a saying in the Federation that everyone knows. The general meaning of this sentence is that as long as you have 10 million, you can run for president.

This also means that the minimum threshold for running for president is 10 million!

How many politicians can spend 10 million in one go?

No!

Fortunately, Mr. Trueman has the support of Lynch, the support of the military-industrial complex, and the support of the military.

These are the richest people in the federation. With their support, at least in terms of funding, there will be no problem.

Mr. Trueman lit a cigarette and said, "How much money do you plan to spend on campaigning this time?"

Lynch shook his head and said, "We haven't sat down to talk yet, but the preliminary estimate is that it will be at least 50 million."

Among them, Lynch will contribute about 10 million. As the backer of Mr. Trueman, the military will definitely not contribute too little, about 15 million to 20 million. Then the military-industrial complex can contribute almost 10 million. .

The rest is donated by other supporters. Running for president does not mean that you don’t need to donate if you have enough money. This obviously does not comply with the rules of the capital game.

Even if you have enough money, you still need to allow others to donate. You cannot not deny others the opportunity to bet just because you have an advantage.

Together, these people can have about 20 million in capital inflow, and 50 million is just a guarantee.

Mr. Trueman also extended some ideas from this.

If running for president requires tens of millions of funds to flow, will he have to double the profits of these investors after he is elected?

The answer to this question is a very clear yes.

He has to make these investors make enough money, otherwise he won't be able to get re-elected.

The military's money is okay, as long as some of their budgets are approved.

The military-industrial complex has also benefited from this. If you think about it further, Lynch can also get a large sum of money from the military's budget. The fundamental reason for all this is that they are all "investors."

Mr. Trueman has some instinctive disgust, but he cannot express it. This is the rule of the federal game. You can hate it, but you must abide by it.

Anyone who does not abide by it will be ostracized from this country!

The two quickly left the campaign office. Mr. Trueman was going to solve some problems for the President, while Lynch found Peleus.

Since both parties intend to place a heavy bet on Mr. Trueman, it is necessary to meet and have a detailed discussion before cooperation.

This time they made an appointment at the military base outside Bupain. It was very safe here. In Peleus's words, they were all their own people.

"I never figured out what the soy protein condensation you mentioned last time was. I also found someone to try to make some. It seems to be very different from the ones you described."

When Lynch and Peleus met for the first time, they talked a lot about delicious food.

This representative of the next generation of the military is interested in gourmet food and looks very fat.

But he is not really fat, he is just full of muscles. Under the cover of loose clothes, people will think that he is fat.

This is part of his self-disguise.

Lynch smiled and said, "I will make some and have them delivered later."

After the two briefly chatted about some very common things, the topic gradually led to the next thing.

"Do you have any recommendations for a good campaign team?" Lynch asked proactively. The military actually plays a major role in the campaign.

They must have the main opinion in selecting the campaign team.

If the election fails and is not successful, it will not be affected.

Peleus thought for a while, "We are not very good at these things, but I heard... they do a good job. Maybe we can contact them and give it a try?"

The person he was talking about is currently recognized as one of the best campaign teams in the Federation, and the cost is naturally quite high.

There is also a father and son in this campaign team. What is amazing is that these father and son have been presidents of the Federation before and after. There are a total of four former presidents of the Federation in the entire team!

The strength can be said to be very strong, and of course, the cost is also high enough!

If you want these former presidents to work for you, you have to show sincerity!
