Blackstone Code

"Tracy...who lost miserably?", Catherine asked softly.

Lynch nodded, "It's tragic!"

He was afraid that she wouldn't understand why, so he explained, "Tracy's greatest political power comes from his uncle. His uncle used to be the patriarch of the federal region and has a high status among the church and believers."

"He only needs to tell people that his niece is a messenger sent by God to the world to save people, and many people will support her."

"Now that her uncle has retired, although the new patriarch is a student of her uncle, it is unlikely that the new patriarch will ask believers to vote for her during his sermons."

There are many bishops in the Federation who preach on TV. The Federation has a church-specific TV station that mainly broadcasts various religious programs.

Whether the bishops in the church are preaching or preaching, many of them have begun to be broadcast on television.

Many people have difficulty with their legs and feet as they get older, making it difficult for them to go to church alone.

Although these people cannot go to church, it does not mean that they have no influence in the family.

On the contrary, some elderly people with limited mobility have greater influence at home.

So televangelism and evangelism were born, and the results are pretty good!

"Without this important boost, mainstream federal politicians will not treat her favorably."

"Politicians are more realistic than businessmen. At least businessmen still have the term 'investment' or 'speculation', but politicians rarely do!"

How far federal politicians can go does not depend at all on their ability. This seems to be one of the truths that applies to the whole world!

There are countless outstanding politicians in the Federation who have spent their entire lives hanging around at the bottom, and have not even entered the political arena. They can only spend all their time becoming staff members, think tanks, and the like.

Because the political world is so strict that ordinary people cannot see it!

No qualifications means no qualifications, and this fact will not change just because of how hard these people work.

This is different from businessmen. Small businessmen may expand their assets several times because of an excellent transaction.

As long as they are lucky and vigilant enough, good businessmen can always succeed.

The value invested in them can be doubled in return.

But it’s hard to see this in politicians.

There is only one saying: "Sell according to price".

Catherine sighed lightly. She had worked with Ms. Tracey for more than a year. At that time, she had just graduated from college and her first job in society was as Ms. Tracey's assistant.

Ms. Tracey taught her a lot of things that she couldn't learn in books.

During the period before Ms. Landa became the president, she even had considerable decision-making power!

For Ms. Tracy, she is still very grateful, but...

"Are you worried about her?" Lynch could feel Catherine's emotion, as well as the professor's... a kind of indifferent sadness, the kind of sadness that he couldn't control his own destiny.

Catherine nodded, "She used to take good care of me."

Lynch chuckled twice, "Tracy is a person who has great ambitions but lacks the corresponding abilities."

"I'm not disparaging her, just stating the facts."

"She always wants to get a lot of things that she can't get and shouldn't be hers. She used to want to be the governor, and now she wants to be a member of Congress, but what about the future?"

"Does she still want to be president one day?"

"She always got something and not only was she not satisfied, but she wanted more."

"She has been going too smoothly in her life. It's time for her to take a tumble..."

Once the road of life goes too smoothly, you will have the illusion that you can get everything as long as you want it.

But reality is definitely not so romantic. Sometimes it not only fails to respond to people’s needs, but instead slaps these people in the face!

This topic ended here, and the three of them chatted about some local things.

The development of Slem is still changing rapidly. The expansion of the urban circle has been put on the agenda. The state government and the Slem City Hall are discussing the direction of expansion and new planning.

In this world lacking entertainment, the emergence of Slem is like an oasis in the desert, attracting big players from all over the world to Slem.

There are no peak or low tourist seasons here. Even at the least, more than three million tourists stay in this state.

In addition, immigrants from all over the world are constantly moving to Slem and surrounding cities, and now Catherine is planning to build an "urban agglomeration" around Slem.

"My idea is to build a faster, faster and more convenient expressway to directly connect the surrounding cities with Slem."

“Use Slem’s economic model to radiate to surrounding cities and drive the development of surrounding cities.”

"Just like the satellite city of Bupen, some people can choose to live in the surrounding cities and work or play in Slem."

"Currently, many tourists have been diverted to surrounding cities for temporary accommodation. Even if they only stay there for a whole day to take a look around the city, it can drive the development of the local economy..."

Lynch listened carefully to her new plan. This plan was pretty good, but in fact, the economic value generated by Slem was obviously excessive.

Continuing to make it better and generate more revenue will actually not only not help the development of other areas of the entire state, but will become a "vampire" that completely gathers high-quality resources in Slem.

This would result in a result that only one city in the entire state could produce, and now that Catherine's "homework" Lynch gave a passing grade, she at least knew how to start allocating resources.

This is one of the manifestations of a leader's maturity.

Of course, professors also participated and contributed their own strength.

"That sounds very good. Your current decision is very important here. Once it is determined, subsequent successors will largely not modify this level of policy."

"So your 'traces' are likely to remain, and this will also become an important credential for you to enter Congress!"

Next, we chatted for a while. Catherine mainly talked about the problems and solutions she encountered at work.

After all, she is not Lynch. She does not have such a keen sense of politics and the ability to handle things. Sometimes dealing with a political incident makes her feel unable to start and requires more time.

This is different from Lynch, who almost seems to know what will happen in advance and has a solution immediately when he encounters trouble.

Catherine has indeed grown a lot, and the position of governor is indeed very training.

The development plan of the entire state, the competition between cities, the problems and contradictions that arise during the development process, all test her ability.

Catherine may not be an excellent politician, and she is not as good as the professor in terms of political ability.

Catherine knew it herself, and so did the professor, but neither of them had any other thoughts because of the "reversal" of identities.

Because she's Catherine, she's the governor, not her abilities or anything.

But Catherine would make a good president, a president who fit the Federalist conception of what a president should be.

Lynch stayed in Slem for a week, during which time the industry committee held a party to welcome Lynch back to Slem.

The eight major casinos except the Central Casino all followed Lynch to make a living. Regardless of the high taxes they paid, their profits were definitely not small.

Now the share prices of major casinos have skyrocketed. Not only do everyone make a lot of money from the casinos every day, major casinos are also listed on the financial market one after another.

Federal financial laws do not stipulate that gambling companies cannot go public, so the nine major casinos, including Lynch's Center Casino, have prepared plans to go public.

Once the listing is successful, these bosses can not only make a lot of money from the casino, but also make crazy money from the financial market!

The three major appraisal agencies in Bupen have assessed the market value of the central casino at more than 100 billion, and the assessment of the entire Slem industry as a whole has exceeded 1 trillion.

This is also the first economy in the federation to exceed one trillion, and this number continues to increase every day with business feedback!

The central casino alone has increased Lynch's net worth by over 70 billion.

Of course, although this part is valuation, it is actually very simple to realize it. Now there are countless capitalists waving money to get the original shares but they can't.

Lynch has made a lot of money, and everyone in the Slem Industry Council has also made a lot of money, so they look at Lynch with not only respect, awe, but also fanaticism!

As people say, Lynch is born with the temperament of wealth and is the Mr. Miracle of the Federation!

He never loses. As long as you invest with him, even if you may suffer a little loss at the beginning, you will definitely make a lot of money later!

When these people meet Lynch, their first words are often to ask him if he has any other projects that require investment.

No matter what the project is, they are willing to invest money!

Of course, during this period, Lynch also paid attention to the "Crysis" program. The election was the top priority some time ago, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

"There are currently forty-three people left. They are more careful, more cunning, and more difficult to deal with than when they first joined the show."

The person in charge of the organizing committee introduced the current process to Lynch, "So far, we have accepted a total of 1.7 billion bets from all over the world."

"Of which 10.9 billion has been 'sinked'. Based on the win of the player with the most bets, our total revenue is about 6 billion."

"If we count the smallest number of players, such as this player named Alice, then our profit will exceed 10 billion!"

Following the finger of the person in charge of the organizing committee, Lynch noticed a picture that looked like a "Wanted Order" flashing on the TV screen.

It contains Alice's portrait, personal situation, various materials owned, past achievements, and current odds.

Her odds have been reduced to one to seventeen, and the further back, the lower the odds for the players will be.

However, the amount of betting has not decreased much.

Choosing one among more than two hundred people is a completely different experience than choosing one among dozens of people or choosing one among several people.

According to the predictions of the organizing committee, when there are only a few people left, there will be a final wave of betting boom.

However, no matter how much you invest, it will not affect the overall income of the program!
