Blackstone Code

Some things are not written in the rules. For example, if someone opens a shop on the street, he has to pay protection fees.

Otherwise, his store will not be able to open!

This rule is not written in the city’s local laws, nor is it mentioned in the Basic Law or Charter – you must pay protection fees for the security of your operations.

But you have to do this, pay a little money to others, no matter who it is, you have to pay money.

This kind of rule will not be explicit or written, but it must exist and be effective.

Just like the victorious governor, if he wants to gain a foothold in this state and if he wants his decree to be implemented, he must let people know that Lynch supports him!

If he doesn't let people clearly understand this, others will dare to hinder him and make him uncomfortable as governor——

This is Nagaril after all, and the heart of the state is in Sram.

Those interest groups that make billions every year are beyond the reach of a small governor like him!

He spent so much money and owed so many favors. He didn't really come here to realize his ideals and ambitions, but got a ticket to join an interest group!

Just having a ticket is not enough. You have to pass the ticket inspector. Lynch's phone number is the ticket inspector. It lets everyone know that, at least on the surface, at this stage, there is no sordid conflict between Lynch and the governor.

Then the governor's words and decisions have practical significance.

If it hadn't been for this phone call and he hadn't been "recognized" by Lynch, then his decree would have been stuck in the state government building!

People's celebrations became more sincere, enthusiastic and serious, and they all surrounded the governor and said nice words.

After all, this involves a profit of 2 billion per year!

The state government will definitely find a way to spend the money, and as long as the money needs to be spent, someone will be able to put it in their pocket.

Whether it is turned into materials and distributed to the people, or it is constructed or produced, there will be a profit link.

The next morning, the governor got up from bed. He was only in his early forties, and he was at his best as a male politician.

His wife, who is twenty years younger than him, is still sleeping soundly on the bed. They both worked very late yesterday.

As the passive party, she was too exhausted to get up, but the governor had already finished taking a shower, changed clothes, and started preparing for the next meeting with Lynch.

At 9:15, his car appeared outside Lynch's villa on time. It took more than five minutes before he arrived at the gate of Lynch's villa.

"Mr. Lynch has been waiting in the study for a long time..." The housekeeper came to pick up the governor, and the governor immediately expressed fear.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, he came to the study, knocked on the door, and after getting Lynch's permission, he opened the door and entered.

This is not flattery or cautious, this is a kind of etiquette for civilized people and a symbol of politeness!

"Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"

"Wine, coffee, or juice?"

The governor wanted some wine, but considering drinking so early in the morning... wasn't a good idea, he ordered a cup of coffee.

Lynch had a pot of coffee delivered, and then he and the governor went to the terrace outside the study and sat on the wicker chairs in the open air.

Nagaril's wicker chairs have become the best-selling export item, 70 percent of which are exported to the Federation.

At first, the people of the Federation were not interested in this kind of chair that was uncomfortable for the buttocks, but as some social activists claimed that it had health-care effects, many wealthy people in the Federation had several sets of such furniture.

As a result, its sales began to rise rapidly. Later, even Mr. Trueman built a wicker chair and placed it in the Presidential Palace, completely making the wicker chair a best-selling product.

Psychological hints and blind obedience mean that the methods of capitalists have not changed much.

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't say congratulations in person."

"It was not convenient for me to appear on an occasion like yesterday. I hope you can forgive me."

Lynch held the coffee pot and poured a cup of coffee for the governor. He would not treat anyone with the attitude of "you are just a handful in front of me".

Being rude and arrogant means nothing except humiliating one's own people.

The higher the position, the more cultivated one should be. This is one of the reasons why Connor likes Lynch very much.

There was no pressure when he got along with Lynch, unlike some big capitalists who always had the attitude of "I spend money, so you have to do things for me."

Lynch was more like an old friend who could read him.

Who doesn't want to have one or two close friends?

The governor was a little surprised, but also a little emotional. No one is lucky to have reached this point, and it is not easy for everyone.

"You're too polite. It was indeed inconvenient to have an occasion like yesterday. In fact, I should be the one thanking you."

Lynch put down the coffee pot, picked up his own cup, and took a sip.

Lynch likes coffee that is over-roasted, somewhat bitter and very oily. He does not like coffee that is slightly sour and astringent like pot water.

He likes this kind of taste that can slowly feel the mellowness from the mellowness. It is difficult for middle-aged people to be moved by sweetness, but they have a special liking for bitterness.

"I have already talked with Catherine about the state government and will hand it over to you. Your team needs to be prepared."

"This is a big project. The entire state is still developing, and there are many projects still in progress."

"If it is not necessary..." he put the cup back on the coaster, "it is best not to do anything to a project that is already in the middle or is about to end."

"We have invested a lot of manpower, material resources and energy. If we fail at the last minute, it will always be very frustrating."

The governor nodded repeatedly, "I understand what you mean, Mr. Lynch."

"Please rest assured that I have read Governor Catherine's government report and I think she is very far-sighted in setting the development path for our state."

“My policy agenda overlaps with her development direction in many places. We will all strengthen the development of surrounding cities, and I noticed the ‘world-class megacity development plan’ mentioned by Governor Catherine in the government report.”

"I am also very interested in this project. Maybe it can turn from plan into reality."

This plan is actually reserved for the new governor, but because it was proposed by Catherine, as long as the following governors are not fools, Catherine can reap this wave of political dividends.

The planning of this world's megacity circle refers to the creation of a multi-city symbiotic urban ecosystem around Slem as the core.

There are very convenient transportation methods between cities, shortening the distance between cities and making them more integrated.

Then increase the population within this city circle to 10 million, or even 15 million, 20 million or more!

There are only a few people in the Federation at this time, only 80 million people. If a city circle can have so many people, it will be able to show the world the results of its economic development!

Because to feed so many people, there must be a very complete, positive, and healthy economic environment!

Once this plan is realized, it must be a miracle!

At this time, the most crowded cities in the world, such as Bupen, had a population of only three million.

A city circle has a population of tens of millions. Isn't this a miracle?

As long as this miracle can be born, in the process from planning to realization, all the leaders will be able to enjoy a huge wave of dividends, and it can last for many years!

After all, a plan with such a large scale of operation must have superb political skills and rich leadership experience, which is equivalent to the label of "excellent talents".

The governor knows this very well. In fact, he can't do it. He is only a founder, but this is enough!

Lynch nodded, "This development plan is very interesting. I think its ultimate form will be more than 20 million people living in a relatively 'crowded' environment."

"If this could be achieved, it would be the Ninth Wonder!"

Lynch paused for a moment and said, "I have also watched some of your speeches, which are very fascinating."

"Among all the governors in the federation, you should be relatively young?"

The governor nodded. Compared to other people who reached this position in their fifties, he was only in his forties, so he was indeed very young.

Look, some people are still swinging hammers in their workshops when they are forty years old, and some people are already deciding the future development of a state.

People say that God is fair, but God has never done anything fair.

Otherwise why is he God and we are humans?

Even God has likes and dislikes and is not so fair, let alone humans.

There was some admiration in Lynch's eyes, "I am also very young, but sometimes I sound very old when I speak. I hope you don't think I am implying something."

"Young people, young people like us, should be somewhat aggressive. As long as it does not undermine the interests of the majority of people, you can do things that you think will be of value to more people."

"We will all support you!"

The governor was completely relieved at this time, "Mr. Lynch's words are my biggest gain since the election!"

"Mr. Lynch, please rest assured that nothing here will change."

"Even if it changes, it will only become better and more in line with what we want it to be!"

It was a very harmonious chat. The governor quickly used his own way to make Lynch realize his "attitude", and Lynch also gave back a positive "attitude".

The next step is the work handover, because many projects in various regions are being started at the same time, involving many accounts and a lot of money, so the financial handover is very slow.

It is expected that the complete handover will not be completed until around mid-January.

At this time, the second vice-chairman of the Slem Industry Committee was also elected.

The vice chairman of the gaming group failed to seek re-election and was replaced by a representative from another casino.

It's surprising, but it makes sense.

On the first day that the new vice chairman took office, he also visited Lynch to express his loyalty...
