People from all over the world felt the unique "charm" of the federal election for the first time!

The Nine Casinos have opened a market around 20 gubernatorial candidates. These 20 candidates will go through intense voting in December, and will finally be screened down to only seven people who will enter the real candidate list.

The entire Slem seems to be building momentum around the general election. In addition to the gladiatorial arena, horse racing and other large game events that will be broadcast on television, some less important programs are taking up time.

Twenty candidates have successively released their campaign manifestos on television and radio. The floats on the street that used to carry passengers are now occupied by the gubernatorial candidates.

On the busiest streets, you can even see three teams of floats and candidate teams belonging to three different camps on the floats, working hard to promote!

For activities such as taking photos to get chips, shaking hands to get chips, filling out questionnaires to get chips, etc., you can see one within a few steps.

Although the final decision-making power for the gubernatorial candidates here does not lie with the local government, but with the federal presidential palace, public opinion still exists!

Moreover, federal politicians are very cunning. They hired very professional consulting companies and paid sky-high prices, allowing them to monitor Slem's public support rate intensively.

It does not determine who will be the final governor, but it can influence the decision of the federal president!

If he completely ignores the support of public opinion and chooses a candidate with low approval ratings, some minor problems will inevitably arise.

For example, some people will "trouble" him and ask him questions like "How did you decide to choose a candidate who lacks public support to become governor?"

This kind of question is very difficult to answer, for everyone!

If Connor answers his thoughts and reasons head-on, the media and the public can find a lot of reasons to prove that Connor is completely justifying his "willfulness".

There must be some shady behind-the-scenes deal behind this, such as the winning candidate giving Connor a large sum of money.

Or is there some more secret benefit transfer? Otherwise, why would he elect someone with no support?

If Connor avoids answering this question, then the media and the public will cheer because Connor doesn't know how to answer and he feels guilty!

Public opinion is the panacea in federal politics when politicians need it. There is nothing that public opinion cannot solve!

If so, then take public opinion hostage and squeeze it hard!

The harder it is squeezed, the more public opinion becomes boiling and the more difficult it is for the opponent to resist!

But when politicians don't need it, it's like a piece of paper that can be placed almost nowhere except toilets and sewers!

As the most populous city that contributes 97 percent of the state's tax revenue, Slem is certainly a top priority in publicity.

Even the girls from the modeling agency were wearing customized clothes!

Fern also asked Lynch for advice on this matter. One gubernatorial candidate hoped that the girls from Fern's modeling agency could help him promote it from clients during their work.

And put on their customized clothes——

Overall, they are still sexy clothes, but wherever there is fabric, there is an avatar printed on it...

For this reason, the gubernatorial candidate is willing to pay fifteen yuan each time as labor fees.

The company gets nine dollars, the girls get six dollars, and all they have to do is say a slogan at the moment before entering the main scene.

Something like "Mr... is committed to the economic development of Slem and even the entire state, and promises to provide us with more reliable service measures. Only supporting Mr.... is our most correct choice!"

Girls don’t mind earning an extra six dollars each time. It may not seem like a lot, but it’s actually not a lot every day, every week, or every month.

As for the company, I don't care even more.

Fern has almost 11,000 girls on hand, and his daily business volume is about 30,000 to 40,000 orders.

This kind of activity will not last long, about two weeks, and the total advertising cost is 5 million.

There are nineteen modeling agencies in Slem. If one person invests in all of them... he will definitely not be able to invest in them. Investing in one or two is the most normal choice for everyone.

Lynch did not stop him. He would not object to such a pure gift of money, and Ozil would not have any influence on the modeling agency.

Female ticket buyers will not lose interest just because the girls are dressed in a special way, nor will they lose interest just because the girls need to complete one sentence of the agreement.

Maybe these female ticket holders will arouse special interests or maybe... do terrible things with those avatars?

People’s sexual fetishes these days are always so unique and unexpected that people are surprised!

"The total investment in this candidate's publicity campaign may be around 250 million to 300 million..."

Catherine put down the document in her hand and looked at Lynch with a look of shock on her face, "This is almost three times more than the campaign funds invested in the presidential campaign!"

"They're just crazy!"

When Connor participated in the election, the total campaign funds were less than 40 million, but Lynch increased his investment.

His opponents' campaign funds are only over 20 million, and this number is already the largest amount invested in the past years!

If the total campaign funds invested by each candidate in the federal presidential election exceed 100 million, it would be considered a very hot election year.

For example, the total campaign funding for the year Mr. Trueman won was less than 55 million!

For example, the total campaign funding for the year Mr. Trueman won was less than 55 million!

But who would have thought that here, for a governor, 20 candidates would invest a total of about 200 million to 300 million.

If they save this money, they can compete with Connor during the local mid-term elections!

But they, these people, just invested their money here seemingly casually!

Catherine was shocked. She knew that her position as governor was very special, but she had never had a clear understanding until this moment!

Lynch sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and chatted with her about this topic, "Politicians and capitalists are highly consistent to a certain extent. They are all pursuing higher rates of return."

“Campaign funds for presidential elections have always been the largest investment among federal campaigns at all levels, because every participant knows very well that the money invested in the election can be earned back exponentially as long as they win.”

"So they are very willing to invest. This is an 'investment' behavior with low risk and high return."

"What's happening here is actually the same thing. Two billion a year in local taxes that the state government can decide how to use, it can bring benefits to the governor and the people behind the governor much higher than what they are investing now."

"If you invest 20 million, there is a certain possibility of reaching the 2 billion. Why not give it a try?"

"What if it succeeds?"

Lynch has always seen it clearly, "Don't think this is the limit, they will increase their investment and get even crazier!"

"Have fun in December, and then the battle will shift to Bupen!"

Catherine didn't know what to say, because what Lynch said was indeed correct. During the construction period in the first two years, she already had a lot of money.

After the construction was completed in Slem, countless money poured in!

Local taxes are mainly used for local economic construction and development, and Slem is the only place in the entire state that can use the money.

Other places... they would be very happy if they allocate 10 to 20 million every year!

Last year, the state government's fiscal balance exceeded 700 million. This was because Catherine listened to Lynch and gave an extra 300 to 500 million to each of the following cities.

If it hadn't been for so much extra money, the balance might have exceeded one billion, or more!

Catherine is not the kind of governor who comes from a political family in the traditional sense, and Lynch can meet all her material needs, so she is not enthusiastic about putting "government money" into "her own pocket."

Not even interested at all!

She has no such interest, but these twenty gubernatorial candidates do!

They may have made various plans now, or earlier, so that after they come to power, they can smoothly and quietly put the government's money into their own pockets!

This is not difficult for them, especially those candidates with family backgrounds. Their fathers, grandfathers, and earlier ancestors have already started doing this.

For federal politicians, graft and corruption are a family tradition!

After many generations and many people's research, it has been perfected!

Just like the transfer of federal benefits, even the law fucking allows it, who can say anything?

All this made Catherine a little strange, "Am I going to have to deal with these people every day in the future?"

Lynch nodded, "The situation in Congress is much more complicated than here, but you don't have to worry too much, they won't mess around."

“You can learn a lot there, things you wouldn’t expect!”

Catherine became interested, "What is it?"

Lin Qi smiled but didn't answer. There were so many things she could learn, such as lying constantly and having no bottom line.

These are all essential elements for top federal politicians. One second they can stand in front of the camera and say that they will contribute their share to the people.

In a blink of an eye, they can join the capitalists in throwing the people into a juicer to squeeze out the last drop of blood. There is nothing they dare not do or cannot do.

I hope Catherine won’t be too disappointed then…

What happened in Slem has also become an unavoidable hot topic in the federal political arena in a short period of time. It is time for the governors of the three states of Nagaril to be elected.

Several gubernatorial candidates in the financial center of the southern hemisphere have invested only 40 million in campaign funds combined.

The World Ocean Transportation Center has only three candidates and a total campaign fund of only 25 million.

Only Slem is so dazzling!

Spending tens of millions of dollars every day!
