Blackstone Code

People at the bottom can actually be satisfied very easily.

In some aspects, not including their pursuit of wealth, here specifically refers to some spiritual demands.

When Catherine appeared in front of the public the next day wearing a "Lizard Catherine Lizard" brooch on her chest, many people fell into a crazy mood!

Their faces were flushed with excitement and they expressed their high spirits to the people around them, and all of this originated from that funny-looking brooch.

It costs five yuan each. The base is made of white copper, with some cheap things piled on top to create a fire-breathing lizard named Catherine.

This little thing can be seen in many places, but this is the first time it has appeared on Catherine.

The federal presidents before her always maintained their demeanor at all times and did not allow themselves to make a fool of themselves. They were unwilling to even get too close to the people.

Because they are not sure whether they can be so talkative. After all, they are two ends of the pyramid and people from two worlds.

There has been a situation where the president warmly received a member of the lower class, but was always unable to speak during the communication.

The president doesn't worry about working for less than ten dollars a day, but ordinary people do.

Not only will they worry about not being able to earn ten yuan, but they will also worry about whether they will have a long-lasting and secure job tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and whether they will be able to afford food.

The president seems to be close to the people, but far away from them. This is the truest portrayal of the federation.

However, Catherine changed these, at least it seemed so from the willingness she showed.

She waved her arms with people, and people chanted her name. More and more people gathered around, and then they let out waves of exclamations!

Almost all TV stations reported the news during the noon news. She appeared in front of the public with a brooch that made fun of her, and people's sense of her couldn't be better!

According to rumors, all the brooches of the same style were sold out in just a few hours, and the brooch manufacturer later promised to resume supply within 24 hours at most.

They will also launch high-end gemstone brooches for wealthy people to cater to the consumer needs of all classes.

At the end of the news, the host concluded with "She may be the most special president in the history of the federation, and even the president who changed the federation."

Regardless of whether the host received money or not, at least what she said was not excessive.

Lynch pressed the remote control and the TV was muted.

Now many people who support Catherine have bought similar brooches to wear on their chests. In the eyes of ordinary people, this trend may be a kind of spiritual carnival after the president wins the election.

But for politicians, this is an irresistible "flood."

"So...what's the matter with you?" Lynch turned to look at the Conservative Party whip sitting opposite.

The party whip lowered his head. The weather had become a little drier after autumn. He was tearing off the dead skin on his fingers. He seemed a little... unable to concentrate.

He was actually a little embarrassed now because of what he was going to say next.

"They plan to re-elect the chairman of the committee." He pursed his lips, still not looking at Lynch, "Everyone seems to have some ideas of their own."

"These thoughts... I don't know how to put it. I'm actually not greedy for this position, but I don't think it's a good time to elect the chairman of the committee."

"We have not yet stabilized, and there are still some issues that have not been resolved. At this difficult time, the first thing we should do is to work together to overcome the difficulties at hand, instead of investing energy and resources into internal fighting."

The cost of the "dead" committee chairman's victory was the consumption of a large amount of party resources, and the ferocious struggle between several factions was extremely cruel.

Expose each other, reveal dirty information, and spend money to snipe the front figures promoted by other factions.

This position is too important, and too many people want to be able to carry it in their pockets!

The party whip spoke a bit fast, which also reflected some of his inner emotional changes.

Lynch opened the cigarette case on the table and motioned for him to take one, "You want me to help you win this position and become the next committee chairman."

He took a lighter and lit it for himself, expecting the party whip to take the initiative to light it for him. It might take some "timing", time, and opportunity.

The party whip was a little embarrassed after Lynch saw through his thoughts. He had been an upright person for too long, and the role he played was a little... pickled.

Even if you don't want to play this role now, you won't be able to change it in a short time.

After all, the nature of politicians is to have no bottom line, be despicable, and shameless. However, these are completely different from the work of party whips that require adherence to principles.

Values ​​are a kind of inertial thinking accumulated from long-term habits, which are not easy to change.

"I mean...if this can avoid internal fighting, maybe this is a good choice.", he explained a little less tactfully.

Lynch shook his head, "We don't have much contact, but you should understand that I am a very direct person."

“Tell me you want to be the next committee chair, or tell me you don’t want someone else in that position, that’s fine.”

"But don't think of me as a fool who thinks I can't read your mind."

"Friends should be honest with each other. Tell you what you want, and I'll tell you whether I can do it."

"to be honest."

The party whip's old face turned red with shame. After a while, he finally expressed his truest thoughts, "I don't want others to sit in that position. Those things are not good for me..."

Lynch raised his hand to stop him from continuing, "As a friend, you just need to tell me what you want to do, without telling me the reasons."

"Because we are friends, I will definitely help you."

The party whip did not feel offended by this, but felt an indescribable sense of relief.

Everyone hopes to have someone who can unconditionally support them in doing whatever they want. When they were young, it might have been their parents, just maybe.

Even this possibility does not exist as an adult.

Now Lin Qi's words touched him very much, and he had a more natural smile on his face.

"Thank you, Lynch."

It is not easy for him to win this position. The other people have the support of big capitalists or political forces.

Being a party whip is a job that offends people, but at the same time it has no actual power——

He can't dictate the direction of policy, that's the job of committee chairs and senators.

It also cannot determine the region's legislative and economic situation. That is the job of the governor and commissioners.

All he can do is keep others from breaking the rules, and the harder he does his job, the more disliked he becomes.

Who would like a person who just stares at his mistakes and yells at himself?

So he didn't have the slightest competitiveness among that group of people.

But now, things are different.

Lynch had his back.

"You're welcome. I always adhere to one principle when it comes to friends -"

"As long as I can do it for you, I will try my best to do it."

He paused as he spoke. Making friends was not a problem for him who was rich and powerful.

"You only need two conditions to choose this position, first, wealth, and second, connections."

"It just so happens that none of this is a problem for me, so I'll introduce you to a guy who can handle it all for you!"

Lynch picked up the note, wrote a name and a phone number, and handed it over, "Call him and tell him that I asked you to go. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time."

The party whip knew it was time to leave, and he quickly stood up, his waist seemed not to be straight.

"Thank you again, Lynch."

Lynch walked around the table and shook hands with him, "You don't need to say these things between friends..."

The whip left Lynch's office with the note and soon met the man.

There is a guy whose name he has heard of. He is relatively active in Bupen's brokerage circle and knows many people. He is said to be very capable.

He has only heard of it, but has no access to it. He does not have that kind of power. If he is not in the ruling party, his ranking in the Conservative Party is no more than 20.

No one needs to ask him to do anything, so he has only heard of these things, is not familiar with them, and seems a bit strange.

This guy was Connor's previous partner, a partner in the brokerage team. He quickly knew the purpose of the party whip, and then told him with a smile that these were all a small matter.

"We just have to do two things now, find the people who are willing to give in, and find the people who are not willing to give in."

The broker's words confused the party whip, "What difference does it make?"

"Of course!"

"Those who are willing to make concessions are waiting for you to offer them a price they can't refuse, while those who are unwilling to make concessions will not give in even if you offer a very high price."

"So let's first let those who are willing to make choices become our side, and then get rid of those who are unwilling to compromise. As long as the majority of people support you, won't the problem be solved?"

The party whip looked a little embarrassed at this time, "I... don't have that much money."

The broker hugged his shoulders and laughed, "You don't need to pay for this, Mr. Lynch will take care of everything!"

"So, where do you think we should start?"

The party whip named a name. He had known this person for a long time and knew that he was a typical wallflower.

Soon the two of them arrived at each other's home carrying a suitcase. The grassroots was very happy for the party whip's sudden visit.

This may be one of the few benefits of being a wallflower. Before the political forces go to war, those who are the main combatants must first bribe them.

After the two sat down, the broker skipped the pleasantries. He put the suitcase on the table, took out two documents from it, and handed them over.

"Sign, and the money and the promised job are yours."

"If you refuse, you'd better buy yourself an insurance immediately and fill in the name of your favorite person as the beneficiary."

"This may be your last value..."
