Blackstone Code

In the morning, Lynch, Connor, Catherine, professors, and core members of Connor's team gathered in the presidential palace.

They were discussing some upcoming issues regarding Catherine's campaign.

Conner's campaign had a semi-successful campaign experience.

From the perspective of a professional presidential campaign team, it is clear that it can only get a passing grade - it succeeds once.

Compared with those excellent campaign teams, those that have had two, three or even four campaigns, they are a little worse.

However, the existence of Connor not only made up for this gap, but also gave this team an advantage that others could not surpass.

That is, Connor can also play a positive role in promoting the results of the election. The president's personal participation in the next round of election, even if it is not so obvious, can still play a key role!

Federal “approval ratings” are genetic, especially for presidents who actually deliver on what they promised voters on the campaign trail.

If people hope that these ongoing policy reforms will not suddenly stop for some reason due to the subsequent president, then they had better become supporters of this president and speak clearly.

Connor just needs to take Catherine with him during some public speaking sessions and give her some opportunities to speak.

So everyone has high expectations for the results of this election, and even if the results are not satisfactory, there is still Lynch!

He is the last resort!

"The core of this campaign is definitely centered around shelters. The issue of elderly care has been temporarily solved, but the issue of medical security is not yet complete."

"There's also the issue of employment in shelters, which we can try to address."

The head of the campaign team is telling them their campaign policy. They have spent several days studying the issues that the people are most concerned about at the moment.

What is surprising is that the issues that people care about now are actually no different from those in the past!

Elderly care, medical care, and work, people have been concerned about these since two hundred years ago, and people are still concerned about these today!

This may be the magic of federal society. Its core problem, or core contradiction, has never been solved, but it has been maintained in a very special way until now!

Catherine and the professor listened attentively, while Lynch and Connor sat aside and chatted quietly with their heads tilted, appearing as if... they didn't take this matter that seriously.

"I was like this before. I think public opinion is very important!" Connor said this with emotion. He was thinking of the situation during his election campaign.

"I get up very early every day, go to bed very late, turn down all the entertainment that can be turned down, study speeches, and study how to make voters feel my sincerity!"

"As you saw, they pretended to support me and then lied to me. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be finished!"

Every time Connor thought about this, he was very grateful to Lynch. If he hadn't cheated on the ballot, he would have lost with a high probability!

This is also the core reason for the strong relationship between him and Lynch. One is the person who cheated, and the other is the person who helped him cheat. The interests of the two people are highly bound together to the extent that even a laser gun cannot separate them.

In addition to remembering the past, what Connor said is actually the core of his complete understanding of the federal election mechanism over the years.

It doesn't matter whether your support rate is high or not. What matters is that someone can change the situation for you!

Catherine has all the factors to win. Those people are not her opponents at all. This is actually just a formality, so Connor is not nervous at all.

He paused as he spoke, "What's going on with Tracy? You haven't communicated before?"

Lynch and Ms. Tracy have a good relationship, which is something everyone in the Federation knows.

It’s hard to imagine that Catherine’s side has announced that she’s running for office, and Ms. Tracey’s side has announced that she’s competing.

Ms. Tracey's candidacy has also weakened Catherine's "only female presidential candidate" advantage a lot and distracted some of the attention from Ms. Tracey.

Human beings have always been like this. If there are no extra choices, they will focus on the only choice.

But if there are redundant choices, some people will make different choices from others in order to show their uniqueness or other characteristics, even if it goes against their own inner thoughts.

Young people call it reverse psychology. What should older people call it?

Lin Qi pursed her lips and said, "We haven't communicated before, but I can understand her thoughts."

"She has been working hard for this day, even going to jail for it."

"Her father passed away because of this, and her uncle is still in prison. It can be said that participating in the presidential campaign has ruined her entire life!"

"It's an obsession, Connor, like when you have a dream that hasn't been realized for a long time and now you have the opportunity to touch it."

"Even if you know you will miss it in the end, will you give up?"

"Just watch all this happen, do nothing, and then spend the rest of your life in regret?"

Connor thought for a while, "You're right, even if I know it's impossible, I will try it."

"Do you know her very well?" Connor suddenly became interested in this. "I heard that she is not married yet, nor does she have any lovers."

Lynch rolled his eyes, "She's too old. Maybe you'll like it, but I don't."

Connor was stunned for a moment, "Since when did I like her?"

Lynch immediately asked, "If you don't like her, why would you pay attention to an old woman's love life?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Connor sneered, "Okay, what you said makes sense. I won't tell you this because I know I can't convince you."

Lynch showed a slightly satisfied expression, which made Kang An feel a little bit itchy, "I not only know him, but also know many people."

"Actually, humans are very simple animals. Human beings have a goal, and all behavioral norms are centered around this goal."

“Some people have many and complex goals, but some people have single and simple goals.”

"She didn't communicate with me because she was afraid that she wouldn't have the courage to participate in the election after communicating, that's all."

Connor agreed after hearing this. It was like a child wanting to spend the night outside for the first time.

But he knew that if he told his parents about this, he would never go out at night and not come home.

I can only play outside for a night and then come back to apologize and explain the matter to my parents.

This is just a simple example. Connor can also understand the meaning of what Lynch said at this time.

"So...are you going to talk to her about this topic?"

Lynch touched his chin, "If nothing else happens, she will take the initiative to explain the situation to me soon. After all, she has already 'spent the night outside'."

The two people's lack of concern about the campaign strategy made this meeting a bit strange. It can be said that Catherine and the professor were listening to the team leader explaining the campaign strategy while taking notes.

The two people on the other side would also let out some low-pitched laughter from time to time.

This stark contrast made Catherine couldn't help but roll her eyes at Lynch several times.

By the second half of the meeting, the two men had talked about almost everything they wanted to talk about, and they began to focus on the team campaign again.

This time the campaign team came up with four core campaign issues, first the employment issue, then the medical issue, then the consumption issue in the shelter, and finally "land reclamation."

Needless to say, employment issues and medical issues have always been a sticking point in the federal campaign strategy.

The latter two issues are the core of campaign differentiation.

The first is the issue of increasing consumption power and promoting consumption inertia. The campaign team believes that using part of the taxes collected by shelters as consumption subsidies will be of great help in activating the market economy!

When people don't have money in their pockets, their desire to consume will be low, making it difficult for factories to sell goods even if they produce them.

Therefore, increasing people's desire for consumption and returning consumption from the middle and upper classes of society to the entire social class will be of great help in accelerating the recovery of the shelter economy.

The best way is to directly issue various consumer vouchers. Managers do not need to bear additional costs. The taxes originally paid by the company will be converted into consumer vouchers. In essence, there is no loss.

People can buy the goods they want with less money. In addition to the official tax reduction, other links have obtained their due benefits.

It can be said that for all links, there are only advantages and no disadvantages!

The land reclamation involved another issue, and we consulted Nick Designer and other shelter designers.

The campaign team discovered that there are actually conditions for land reclamation on different levels of the shelter.

That is to say, continue to develop horizontally and dig out more space, which can not only provide people with crops and cash crops, but also provide more oxygen for the refuge.

How to use this to make an issue is very important. You can consider incorporating it into the employment issue, but it cannot be discussed together. It must be discussed separately as a differentiated core of the campaign.

For example, the conditions, scope, permits, plants to be planted, etc. for land reclamation all require stricter regulations.

This approach can alleviate the survival pressure of some unemployed residents. If they can grow their own crops or cash crops, it will be of great help in alleviating social anxiety.

After all, as long as basic education is spread in shelters, the people may be satisfied.

They don’t dare to expect that their children will be admitted to college. In this case, even if they are admitted, they may not be able to afford it!
