Reborn American Giants

Chapter 137 Two Mr. Farben

The small town of Giradot, located on the outskirts of San Salvador, is definitely the only neighborhood in the chaos of the capital that still has a sense of peace. It is only two blocks away from Cordis Avenue, which is full of major state institutions.

About five kilometers west is the National Museum of Natural History, and about fifteen kilometers away is the beautiful Lake Ilopango.

The superior geographical location is naturally favored by real estate developers. These greedy businessmen will seize an opportunity. In their eyes, Geradot is of course a cornucopia.

Therefore, I don’t know since when, the people who originally lived in this town began to be “invited” away one by one, and their original houses were completely demolished.

Subsequently, one after another beautifully decorated single-family villas began to rise on the original site, with smooth roads and carefully decorated green facilities. The slogan of the profit-seeking real estate developers was that this was the last "promised land" in San Salvador.

.

In order to attract new residents with various identities and statuses who will move in next time, they built a school, a hospital, and a swimming pool for leisure and entertainment in this small town with a population of only more than 400 households.

The museum also hired an independent security company to handle security work.

Walking along Ocaña Street, which connects to the main road of the town of Geradotte, in a large villa located in the center of the town, Bukele Farben sat at the dining table in the hall, biting as hard as he could.

With a chicken leg in his hand, he picked up a glass of fruit wine next to him and took a swig from time to time. His movements were so anxious that the bright red wine flowed down the corners of his mouth, down his neck, and wet the shirt on his chest.

If people from the outside world see what Buckley looks like now, they will definitely be very surprised. The rudeness of this direct male member of the Farben family at this moment is different from the polite Buckley he usually shows to the outside world.

Sir, there are simply two different looks, as if you have gone to two extremes.

"Damn it, why is she so lucky and not dead even after doing this? Didn't the group of people you are looking for say that they are all a group of masters? Why is it like this?" After a long time, Bukele will be chewed into a chicken leg that is beyond recognition.

He threw it on the plate, didn't bother to wipe the greasy hands, raised his head and said loudly to the other man sitting opposite him.

That was Luisa's other cousin, Eufrasio Farben. Unlike his brother Bukele, Eufrasio was a man of style, both in public and in private.

He would rather eat chicken drumsticks wrapped in tinfoil with a knife and fork than grab them with his hands like Buckley did.

Perhaps it was his early military experience that deeply influenced him in terms of military discipline, and he paid more attention to practicality and efficiency.

Although he looks relatively rough, he does not look like a Supreme Court judge who is affiliated with the Ministry of Justice.

But he is.

"What's the point of talking about this now?" Eufracio wiped his lips with a napkin. He didn't like this chicken drumstick with bones at all, which made it very inconvenient for him to use a knife and fork.

In comparison, he prefers the kind of food where the bones are shaved off, leaving only the delicious skin and meat. "If we do it again immediately, it will be equivalent to telling everyone that it was our hands."

"It's really damned." Putting the oil-stained napkin aside, Buckley cursed in a low voice again, then raised his head and looked at his elder brother, looking at his unhurried look, there was a hint of evil.

Fire was inexplicably surging in his chest. Ever since he could remember when he was a child, he had hated the fact that the guy in front of him showed such a posture of being in control of everything in front of him. It always made him seem very stupid.

So he said a little angrily: "...What's the difference? Originally, according to the plan, as long as Louisa, the direct controller of wealth, was killed, all the property in her name would automatically be transferred to the name of the family foundation.

, but now, the person you hired has messed everything up, what do you want me to do, I will see how you explain it to my father."

Eufracio took a deep look at Buckley, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth.

Idiots are idiots. No matter how hard you try to cover it up, you can't cover up something that was brought out from your mother's womb and engraved in your bones.

"My stupid brother, do you think I wouldn't have thought of this? Isn't it just to prevent the news from leaking, especially because I was worried that my father would stop our plan if he knew about it, so I hired a group of outsiders instead of using the family

of human hands.

Now is not the time to complain, we should think about what to do next."

"Do you still have to think about it? Since things have already started, of course it is time to finish it. The midterm elections are coming soon, and I have been short of money recently," Bukele said angrily.

According to the Constitution of El Salvador, El Salvador implements a unicameral system. The National Assembly is the country's highest legislative body. 64 seats are allocated to the 14 provinces in the country according to population proportion. The remaining 20 seats are free for candidates to run for election regardless of provincial status.

, the election will be confirmed based on the number of votes received.

Members of the National Assembly serve four-year terms, but are elected every two years, one of which is held concurrently with the quadrennial presidential election and the other between presidential terms.

The National Assembly elections held between presidential terms are called "midterm elections."

Every mid-term election will re-elect one-third of the congressional representatives, so now all political forces, no matter which party they are from, are focusing on the upcoming mid-term elections.

Both the Christian Democratic Party and the Nationalist Republican Alliance as the opposition party will compete fiercely for the actual control of the National Assembly Palace.

As one of the only two direct male members of the Farben family, Bukele naturally wants to push his favorite people to corresponding positions in the mid-term elections. This is because he is the leader of a small political group.

The rights and obligations that people should fulfill.

If he cannot demonstrate his abilities and bring corresponding "benefits" to those around him, who will follow him?

And now the prerequisite that troubles Blakely to achieve this goal is money, money, money.

The essence of electoral politics is still a game of money. It is a well-known fact that money equals votes since the Roman Republic.

Although in today's countries with well-established electoral systems, monetary vote exchange is already explicitly prohibited.

When the original money politics of buying and selling votes lost its living space, new ways of money politics emerged.

The rich and behind-the-scenes promoters invest large sums of money in various "political mobilization committees" or political parties that donate to candidates' names, giving them strong financial resources to invest in the election campaign and comprehensively outperform their competitors in publicity.

Although these candidates have sworn that they will not sell out the people's rights just because they take other people's money.

Those donors also hypocritically stated that the reason why they donated money was not for reward, but simply to support the political opinions of those "candidates".

But it’s good to listen to this saying, “Eating others is short-tongued, and taking advantage of others is soft-handed.” This truth is universal no matter where you go.

After being elected, those candidates will inevitably tilt toward their "supporters" when making political decisions.

Therefore, this is why the two brothers Farben took risks and adopted such radical methods to seize the huge wealth in Louisa's name.

It has now been confirmed that the current leader of the Farben family, the cabinet's Minister of Justice, His Excellency Heredi, will announce his retirement during the mid-term elections.

And without the important position of Minister of Justice, the Farben family will temporarily lose the right to "speak" at the top levels of the government.

In order to ensure the interests of the family, Bukele and Overacio must allow members of the Farben family to occupy as many seats in the National Assembly as possible.
