Blackstone Code

Lynch slowly pulled out a card and threw it on the table, "Mr. Trueman is a good man."

He glanced at Connor, smiled and nodded, indicating that he didn't mean to insinuate him.

"He was one of the few virtuous people I've ever met, and with the exception of Joanna, he wasn't well off."

"He put more energy and time into the hands of the federal government and the people."

"He's also a close friend of mine."

Lynch slowly pulled out the biggest card and placed it on the table, "If it's just these, it's not enough!"

The people at the gambling table looked at the cards Lynch placed on the table, and the eyes of the Undersecretary of Justice became alert.

In the case of Norinco, the Ministry of Justice was also very passive. The director who was "committed suicide" in a special prison of the Ministry of Justice was more like a loud slap!

In this society, people are telling people all day long, especially the poor, that money is not everything.

They can list many examples, such as money cannot buy love, money cannot buy time, and money cannot buy life.

People actually believed it!

They have forgotten that love without money is a grave. From the moment it begins, this relationship is destined to be painful!

They forget that they are selling their time and labor in exchange for money, and the capitalists just use a little money to spend most of their lives on the assembly line!

They have forgotten the tragedy of medical groups refusing to provide them with medical services when they cannot afford the money. They have forgotten that whether it is guaranteed internal use or external use, they all cost money.

They have forgotten too many things, and they just simply think these statements are right!

Money is not all powerful!

Compared with family, compared with family affection, compared with many noble qualities, money is nothing.

Then they were trapped in the dilemma of having no money, and considered this a "trial" given to them by God.

In fact, money is everything.

It’s so versatile that the Ministry of Justice’s face was swollen!

The Ministry of Justice's internal disciplinary unit had already swung into action to find the loophole before the Security Council and Internal Affairs found the problem.

A prison guard responsible for guarding suspects was bribed, and was bribed for many years.

In fact, this prison guard had been serving the five major Bupen families before, or in other words, one of Bupen's senior brokers.

This broker mainly serves the five major families, and of course also takes care of political business.

After all, in the past, the five major families were well-known criminal organizations in the federation. There would always be some people who chose to stand up and become tainted witnesses when their own interests were seriously harmed.

Or maybe they need to pass some information into this special prison, so they need a channel.

This channel was still there after the five major families were destroyed, but it was not very useful until this time the Norinco spent a lot of money to find this broker.

He charged a fee of 600,000 yuan, and then gave the prison guard 80,000 yuan. The prison guard only needed to pass on some information and then kill the person by the way.

Technically speaking, the director committed suicide, but the prison guards helped a little.

He fixed the director's body to the toilet with a rope, and then the director pressed the flush button himself.

The water flow instantly filled the toilet, and the toilet that had been blocked for a long time was instantly filled with water.

At about one minute and forty seconds, the director stopped breathing during the fierce struggle. Then the prison guard untied the rope and left quietly.

Judging from the results of the on-site investigation, he did commit suicide, but without those ropes to tie him up, he would not have been able to overcome his survival instinct.

After the Ministry of Justice got rid of the prison guard, the minister had some difficulties again.

He was chosen by President Trueman, but there were only ten months left before the general election.

Now that Norinco has found Gladstone and Connor again, as the most popular candidates for the next president, the Minister of Justice has become less easy to do.

If we continue to pursue the case, it might make everyone look bad.

In the political arena at this time, it does not mean that once you have served as Minister of Justice, you will leave politics after retirement.

He could have gotten a new job from Connor, or a decent retirement job.

But if the case was not investigated, the dignity of the Ministry of Justice would not be maintained, so he sent the deputy minister here and wanted to discuss with Gladstone how to solve the problem in detail.

Although the Deputy Minister of Justice didn't mind participating in the poker game, he wasn't very happy either. There were important things he didn't say.

At this time, Lynch's joining and his confrontation with Gladstone and Connor without giving them face made the deputy minister feel that he might be able to use Lynch to achieve what the minister asked him to do.

In just two seconds, he figured it out, "I can't afford it."

He first ended his identity in the game, and then followed Lynch's words and said, "Some of their actions went too far. I don't think there is anything that cannot be resolved through discussion."

"They plotted to assassinate the president, monopolized the truth industry, and arranged for important witnesses to be killed in our prisons."

"They should be taught a lesson, at least let them know that it is not possible to get on the boat first and then pay for the ticket later."

The deputy commander expressed his opinion tactfully, and Connor gave him a sideways glance.

Everyone knows that this view must come from the Minister of Justice, and has no intention of embarrassing the Deputy Minister.

Seeing that Lynch didn't speak, Gladstone nodded, "It's a bit excessive... I can't afford it..."

He paused as he spoke, a little hesitant, "It's just that this measurement is not easy to control."

Connor looked at Gladstone again, then tapped the table twice to express his refusal, while everyone else chose not to.

Lynch continued to play cards. He picked a combination card and placed it on the table.

"I heard that they formed a de facto monopoly by mastering some patent barriers. I don't know much about the law. Can these patents turn them into..."

Lynch thought for a moment and found a word, "Unowned patent?"

"The kind that anyone can use without paying any fees?"

The Undersecretary of Justice immediately realized that this was Lynch's condition. He thought about it seriously for a while and nodded, "Yes, if they are willing to give up these patents and make them public property."

"Then it is legal for anyone to use these patents and there is no need to pay any fees!"

These patents may not seem to be very expensive, but they can provide effective protection for Norinco's position in the industry!

If you can't get around these patents, you must follow the rules of the game of the patent holder.

Lynch is not very interested in money. What he wants is to break the current stagnant situation of heavy industry.

As long as some patents that seriously hinder others from entering the industry are fully opened, the industry will enter a stage of reshuffling.

At that time, not only domestic capital will join in, but international capital will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Although the Undersecretary of Justice did not know whether Lynch's conditions were easy or harsh, he knew that since Lynch spoke, he must be justified.

He shook his head and said he couldn't afford the cards on the table.

In fact, it is a small combination of cards. He can afford it, but he cannot have it.

Gladstone took out a few cards from his hand and placed them on the table, larger than Lynch's cards. "I will talk to them about this. You can give me some patented content and I will arrange it."

For him, like the Undersecretary of Justice, his understanding of patents and the various benefits caused by patents is not completely clear.

It was just a few patents that he thought could convince the pudgy gentleman and his group to give up.

After all, Lynch doesn't care anymore, and they do have to make some final concessions, right?

Connor lowered his head and looked at the cards in his hand, and took out a few and placed them on the table.

It is of course the best outcome if Lynch can reach a settlement. He actually doesn't care much about the political donations given by Norinco.

Not to mention that he is not a poor person, Lynch can afford all the expenses of the election alone.

What he cares about is the workers in the hands of heavy industry companies!

A heavy industry enterprise has at least several thousand employees. Most heavy industry enterprises are large factories with tens of thousands of people, and some may have tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of employees!

Are these people ordinary workers?

Maybe they are in normal times, but during election time, they are the most important voters!

There are many voters, and only those who are under control are truly good voters, and these people are good voters.

In the past, some of these people were swingers, while more than half of the other two groups were Conservative supporters.

Turn this part into a supporter of the Progressive Party, or a supporter of his Connor, then his winning rate will be higher!

Moreover, the pudgy gentleman said that Mr. Trueman's memorial, a charity fund named after him, and other things would be left to Connor to organize.

Norinco Group can participate anonymously and only contribute money without mentioning their names.

These things can bring Connor great personal reputation. After all, the Federation reached its peak during Mr. Trueman's tenure.

There are still many people who are full of gratitude and admiration for this president. If you preside over something like the Trueman Memorial, you can turn some of the people who still miss Trueman into your supporters.

He doesn't care about other things now, as long as it can increase his support rate, it's good for him.

Who can become president, this is the most important thing!

Lynch won the first game easily and earned a total of twenty yuan.

After reshuffling the cards and dealing them, Gladstone took the initiative to bring up the York Gang.

"The York Gang is getting bigger and bigger now. I heard that there are new people in Marillo who want to join the York Gang?"

"Katherine's big list is about to be submitted. I may need your help with some small things in the second half of the year."

The York Gang's influence in Congress is growing, and Lynch, who controls everything behind the scenes, is naturally noticed by all parties.

Lin Qi smiled, "Okay..."
