Blackstone Code

For businessmen, money is their most important wealth.

For politicians, their political programs and ideas are their most precious wealth.

No one can take other people's private wealth without paying any price, not even the president.

Lynch also felt a little strange in his heart when he learned that because the president quoted a short passage of himself that he was invited to participate in the party celebration of the president's inauguration, but this was a very good opportunity.

He can have a little contact with the top leaders of the Progressive Party. Of course, what he values ​​more is that this is actually a kind of qualification, and it is a very important qualification.

Regardless of whether it is for the common people-under the influence of certain emotions, ordinary people at the bottom are not willing to give too much trust to the businessmen.

This sentiment comes from many years of hard struggle between the working people and the capitalists, and some from the propaganda of the ruling class. In the eyes of most people in the society, the capitalists are synonymous with cunning and greed. They can sell the rope to hang themselves to the executioner.

Therefore, it is not easy for capitalists to gain the trust of ordinary people, and those non-essential items are not easy to be accepted by people, but they also have their own methods.

They can find some non-capitalist groups to represent themselves to contact the people. The spokesperson is not a trick unique to politics, and it is also very common in the capital environment.

From the moment the first person with a good reputation, who often plays a heroic role in various operas and movies, endorses products that are well received in the market and start to sell well, people immediately know how to fool the will of the people.

Film and television stars, sports stars, social celebrities... as long as they are people who are admired by people, they will receive many invitations and tests.

They sell their influence in exchange for income in terms of wealth, and the goods of the merchants are also trusted by the market. This method solves some problems very well and also guarantees the sales of goods.

But if you want to find the most authoritative and influential figure in the entire Federation, then there is no doubt that this person is Mr. President.

It’s just that Mr. President has never endorsed any products. You must know that almost all of them have consortia behind them. They are not short of money, and they will not be spokespersons for money.

However, this kind of thing is not difficult for businessmen. They have ways to obtain the help of such authority and influence in various ways, such as through...shaking hands.

This seems to be a very funny thing, but in fact, in the first few terms of the Baylor Federation, at least two presidents sold the "photographing rights".

Of course, this kind of statement is just a more popular statement. It is correct to say that the businessmen received the president by donating to certain charitable foundations, and shook hands with the president in the presidential palace and took pictures.

These businessmen and their descendants are now behind-the-scenes controllers of the large consortiums in the Federation. The president and his team have obtained what they need, and the capitalists have also obtained what they want.

As long as Lynch enlarges the photo of him shaking hands with the president and puts it in his office, people will believe that he is a businessman with a sense of morality, responsibility, and more responsibilities and obligations.

His business will get better too!

This is only the value for ordinary people when he met and shook hands with the president. For the Progressive Party, Lynch’s invitation this time can be seen as he is on the side of the president’s faction.

Another issue is involved here. In fact, factions within the party, whether it is the Progressive Party, the Conservative Party, or the Socialist Party, which is always forgotten by people, do not all have one voice in these parties.

Because everyone's political program and political ideas are different, under a common goal, there will be many different small factions.

For example, there are two mainstream factions in the Progressive Party, the radical internationalist faction and the relatively conservative internationalist faction. They all have the same big goal, which is to deepen the value and role of the Federation in the international community , but they will choose different methods.

The current president is slightly inclined towards conservative internationalism and is relatively moderate. Although they are also radicals in the Conservative Party, they are not too extreme, but they are also radicals.

The position of the faction will not be as unshakable as the position of the party. As time changes and the situation changes, the method of the faction will also change accordingly, so the faction issue will not be too strict.

But it is always beneficial to choose the mainstream faction. Many open policies with thresholds will open a door for Lynch because he was invited by the President and shook hands with him.

There will even be people who reach out to him and bring him into one small circle after another, rallying around certain people, who in turn rally around the president, and that creates cliques.

For at least six years in the future, the mainstream factions will not change much. As the Baylor Federation begins to try to develop international relations, His Excellency the President will inevitably win the next general election.

In the past six years, Lynch doesn't need to worry about some regrets caused by the wrong team, he can fully display his abilities within the scope allowed by Mr. President's political platform.

As for the future, maybe there will be changes. At this time, the relatively conservative president will also become determined to reform and radicalize, maybe not, but whatever!

If it doesn’t work then, it’s not good to change a faction. After all, everyone’s goal is just different. Isn’t it normal to change factions without changing the political party’s position?

So, this is a good thing, a very good thing.

"Do I need to prepare a speech?" Lynch seemed to ask jokingly.

This made the mayor feel better all of a sudden, he laughed and asked, "Why do you think so?" Then he explained the reason for his laughter, "You probably need to prepare three sentences, they are, respectively……"

"It's an honor to be invited by you, Mr. President!"

"Me too, Mr. President!"

"You are welcome, Mr. President!"

After speaking, the mayor couldn't help laughing again. These are probably the three sentences that an ordinary person would say when they are interviewed by the president, and they are also the three sentences that they can only use. The president and those guests with more distinguished status are different Would have given Lynch too much time to say things that people might not be interested in, even for two or three minutes.

Lynch was not ashamed by the mayor's "mocking", he just curled his lips, "I was thinking about whether I should talk for five minutes or seven minutes, but you completely disappointed me, but That's good news too, at least I don't have to pull my own hair out for these things."

In fact, this is just a casual joke, and it is indeed just a joke. With Lynch's ability, it is really too simple to say something that people want to hear on an appropriate occasion.

After the mayor laughed for a while, he gradually stopped laughing, "Your accountant may be in some trouble. If you have something to deal with, please deal with it as soon as possible."

"Villa?" Lynch frowned slightly, "What's wrong with her?"

The mayor is stirring the coffee with a stirring stick, it's just a meaningless action," Garp surrendered himself, and he confessed to the police that he entrusted some important evidence directly related to the Ristorian Group fraud case to in the custody of her wife, your secretary."

"The state attorney in charge of this case thinks that woman..." He paused, as if recalling the name Lynch said just now, "Vera, he thinks that Vera didn't take the initiative when she clearly knew these things. Reporting to the procuratorial organ, submitting these evidences, and trying to conceal important evidences can also be regarded as suspects related to this case.”

The mayor spoke casually and didn't care at all whether some people were innocent or not, because he knew very well that it didn't depend on what these people did or what the law said, but on what the superiors decided .

People think that the fate of Neo and the Ristorian Group today is the work of the mayor of Sabine City, Langdon, but in fact, the core people in this matter know that there is another person behind Mayor Langdon, that is governor.

Neo's dissatisfaction stems from the fact that they couldn't get what they wanted from Henghui. To be honest, this kind of case involving the whole state and the result of handling it is not up to Mayor Langdon to decide, it can only be decided by the state .

When Neo doesn’t give face to the mayor, it’s actually slapping the governor in the face. It’s just that very few people know the inside story, including the governor of the conservative territory next door. The governor decided to follow Ristoane's decision completely.

If Neo didn't do that, maybe he and his group company could survive for another two years. After everyone is familiar with international affairs, there might be a chance to turn around.

But he was so eager that many things were hard to recover.

The governor privately asked the prosecutor to be more aggressive. This is to warn some people that this is the governor's territory, and they must respect the governor's decision. They can question it, but they cannot challenge it.

As a foreign capital, Henghui may not attract enough attention from some people, so let Ristoane be that bad example!

Everyone involved in this case will be prosecuted, which naturally includes Vera who is suspected of "hiding evidence", and she will also be prosecuted for some crimes.

Women in cases of this level are actually...very unfortunate, because there is interference from the will of the higher levels, people's methods may be more excessive, many men can't handle it, and they are even called women.

At that time, no matter what it is, they will speak out, just hoping to be convicted and sentenced quickly.

So what the mayor meant was that if Lynch had some unclean beginnings and ends, deal with what should be dealt with, and don't get involved.

Although he won't be too implicated, being investigated is not a happy thing after all!
