Chapter 152 Donations and Food Rolls
It may be difficult for some ordinary people to understand that Mark bought a stake in the Interstellar Trading Company on behalf of the mayor, but in fact it is normal, because there are still some things that ordinary people may not even have heard of are happening.

Some people joked that the last second of every general election of the Baylor Federation is the moment when a new consortium is born. The Baylor Federation has a history of more than 300 years since its founding, and has ushered in a total of 52 presidents.

Why 52, because some presidents accidentally slipped down the stairs and died of serious injuries, or were blown into the sea by a gust of wind while fishing and disappeared without a trace, or...

Anyway, some people are not so lucky, but that's normal, that's life, isn't it?
Except for these unlucky presidents, there is basically a consortium behind every other president, such as the familiar "Jerry & Days" of the Federation, a typical consortium born of the president.

This consortium has supported three politicians to their glorious moment on the stage of federal history. It is precisely because they have supported three presidents that "Jerry & Dess" has never met in more than 100 years. Been in trouble.

No one knows when they will elect a new president for the federation, who is also the fourth president of their group.

Oh, by the way, these three presidents are the son of the founder of "Jerry & Days", the grandson of his son, and the son of his son's grandson. They are a family!

Political power and capital power sometimes look like fire and water, but sometimes they are indistinguishable from each other. This is the Baylor Federation, a country of freedom and sweetness!

From this point of view, the mayor’s stake in the Interstellar Trading Company has become less horrifying, and this was done by his nephew Mark. Lynch believes that if something goes wrong, Mark will immediately stand up and apologize to the society .

Because he did these terrible things without telling his uncle, his uncle, Mr. Mayor, will never easily forgive anyone who breaks the laws and rules, even if this person is his nephew.

If these terrible things do not happen, and if the Interstellar Trading Company can continue to make profits in a relatively suitable way, maybe Lynch and his company will become part of a certain consortium in the future. Of course, the mayor cannot be the president. The surrounding core is his superior or upper superior.

At this time, Lynch had already passed that cynical age. He didn't feel offended, but thought it was a good thing. After Mark became a shareholder, he could let Mark do some things that were difficult to do.

No one is more suitable for this role than him. Many people think that Mark represents the mayor. Even if there is trouble, they have to solve it themselves. They can't trouble Mark, because trouble for Mark is equal to trouble for the mayor, but Lynch doesn't think so.

Everyone knows that when Mark represents the mayor, Mark's appearance also means the mayor's attitude. He doesn't even need to say anything, just stand by his side!
Leaving aside this trivial matter, Lynch met the mayor the next day. This was a charity gala, which was strictly speaking true. The local socialites in Sabine City basically All arrived at the scene.

The number of people is not too many, a few hundred people. The upper circle of a city with a population of 80 can only accommodate these few hundred people, and about half to one third of them are just because their male or female partners have the opportunity to enter In this hall, they themselves do not have this kind of strength, which will make the actual number of people in the upper circles even smaller.

Lynch sat in a slightly lower position. His age, his career, and his wealth were not enough for him to occupy the eye-catching position in the middle of the first row, but sitting in the back was also beneficial, at least He can see all the small movements of the well-dressed ladies and gentlemen in front.

The theme of this charity gala tonight is to help some unemployed people through the current difficulties through donations. The unemployment rate in Sabine City has reached a terrible data, and some people have starved to death.

This is not a good sign. The city hall, or the mayor used his own energy to suppress the news, but he also realized that the situation had really reached the point where political forces needed to be mobilized.

In fact, people starve to death every year. Homeless people on the street die from heat in summer and freeze to death in winter. It is normal to starve to death from time to time.

A few years ago, there were reports of tragic incidents in which homeless men attacked wild dogs, but lost to wild dogs and were eaten by wild dogs. It also triggered a short-term heated discussion in society. After the hot discussion, people no longer paid attention to this group.

Many people hold the same point of view when they are interviewed by reporters. Homeless people have hands and feet. They can work and support themselves. J.

This time, it was not a homeless man who died of starvation, but an unemployed old man living alone.

He is said to be old, but he is not really old. He is only in his 50s and has not yet reached the age of retirement.

He had a job, but he lost his job four months ago, wanted a job, couldn't find one, starved to death in his bed after running out of savings.

If it weren't for his neighbors to be affected by the stench, it might take a long time to find out about it, so the mayor also realized that things couldn't be delayed any longer, and he had to come up with some solutions.

At this moment, the mayor stood on the presiding stage. He briefly said the news in a very heavy tone. In fact, the celebrities sitting below were also shocked, and some ladies even shed tears of sadness.

Some people are really shocked, but some people are not really sad.

In fact, it is hard for these people to imagine that an ordinary person will starve to death. The current situation is indeed not as good as it was a few years ago, but should it be so bad?

But the fact is that many people are facing hunger and hardship, and they need people's help.

In the Baylor Federation, it is not that they have faced similar situations in the past 300 years. They already have a set of practical and effective methods to solve these problems, at least for now, that is, to distribute food rolls and Supply volume.

At the beginning, people would directly give money to these people, but they soon discovered that some people came to claim it falsely, and some people used the money for gambling or squandering, and then applied again, so the money relief became food rolls and supply rolls.

Donations from celebrities are used to buy large quantities of food and some necessities, and then families in need can receive the grant.

It can't make them rich, but at least it can keep them from starving to death. This is the limit that the Baylor Federation can do at present, try not to let more people starve to death.

The generous donations of each rich man are not actually how generous they are, but that this is a charity party, and all donations will be "returned" to every benevolent donor in the form of tax deductions.

At least it is fully deductible, and there may be an excess deductible, so this is not a disadvantage, and it may even make a little money. This is why those top rich people are willing to do charity. They need to pay too much tax Yes, paying less is a victory.

But because there is also a cap on the amount of tax deduction for charitable donations, how to arrange it is actually not up to the rich themselves. Before they participate in the charity dinner, their personal accountants will tell them how much is the most appropriate donation.

Everyone seemed to care for these needy people from the bottom of their hearts. People donated generously, and Lynch also donated 10 yuan. This made many people look sideways at this young and shameless boy.

Perhaps it was Lynch's performance that made him look like a "trust". Soon some people initiated a second round of donations, and they raised the donation from a few thousand or tens of thousands to at least three to fifty thousand, and as many as one hundred thousand. At the point of 20, they are a little unpredictable, whether this is what the mayor meant.

But as long as there is even the slightest possibility, they can't risk it.

By the end of the charity gala, the mayor had raised close to 500 million yuan in donations. It has to be said that this has solved part of the current problems to a great extent. According to the mayor's final speech, the entire city of Sabine exceeded 20 people who are suffering from hunger will be filled by everyone's kindness and kindness.

After the meeting, the mayor was about to leave. He had other things to do next. During this period of time, the city's problems made him feel anxious. Even though Mark had done a business that was absolutely profitable, he didn't put a lot of smiles on his face. .

Money can only satisfy material needs, but what he yearns for is power.

However, he still spared half a minute for Lynch, and he put Lynch at the end, "I heard Mark said that he likes you very much?"

The two are holding hands and talking, and no one else can lean over. This is etiquette in social situations.

Lynch nodded, "I also like Mark very much, he is a great boy...", he seemed to have not finished speaking, which made the mayor a little puzzled, and urged him to say something as soon as possible, because he immediately There is also a small closed door meeting to be held.

Only then did Lynch say what was left behind, "Is it too late for me to set up a food factory?"

The mayor froze for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. He thought Lynch would tell about Mark or something about the transaction last night, but he didn't expect him to think about the 500 million in his hand. "Charity".

A young man with very unique vision and ideas, the mayor once again affirmed this idea, but he shook his head, "Mark certainly didn't tell you that he already has a food factory...", he pointed out Said, "I am very optimistic about you, you will become good friends!"

Lynch pouted, "That's really a sad thing. As for me and Mark...", he smiled, "I also believe that we can be good friends."

The mayor patted his hand, said no more, let go and left, which disappointed some people who had no chance to talk to the mayor at night and wanted to get together, but they soon began to look at Lynch, he What is the relationship with the mayor, why did the mayor leave him with the last time?
Some people began to try to get in touch with Lynch, but Lynch turned around and blended into the reception after the charity gala.
