Chapter 1628 Complicated Relationships

Every year when Severella celebrates his birthday, it is one of the most exciting moments in the federal media.

Because on this day, they can let the people of the whole Federation understand the true meaning of the word "princess"!
From humble ancient imperial gold coins worth 10,000+, to various modern expensive gifts, to company shares, bonds...

There is even a TV station that has a special program called "Luxury Holiday", which is dedicated to reporting how young people from various famous families spend their birthdays and festivals.

They will calculate the price of each item, or calculate the total cost of a holiday for those young people.

Then let the people realize that an ordinary family will not be able to earn the gifts these people receive in a day for a few lifetimes, and let the class differences appear in front of people.

Later, this program was brought to court for violating personal privacy...

In this show, what people are most curious about are the gifts that don't look like much, and the price and story of each of them.

Had the show not been discontinued, they would have wondered what Lynch had in the key and how much it was worth.

"I noticed that you haven't bought a yacht yet."

Lynch nodded, what the former president said was true.

He didn't buy it before because every penny of his money was useful at that time, and he couldn't spend too much useless money to buy luxury goods like yachts for the time being.

Now, all kinds of federal service companies are available, not to mention yachts, even cruise ships, as long as he wants, he can call one for him at any time.

This also makes his demand for yachts less intense.

Moreover, the maintenance of the yacht is actually more troublesome than imagined, from all aspects of the maintenance of the yacht itself, to the berth, to the management company of the wharf...

Lynch didn't have such an urgent need, so he didn't buy it.

What the former president said immediately reminded people of something.

He raised his head slightly, with a kind smile all over his face, "I have a yacht, an old yacht, I'm getting old, and now my joints hurt just getting close to the sea."

"So it's useless to keep it in my hands. Forgive me first. It's not new, but I still want to give it to you. I hope you can accept it."

The former president's approach is actually very appropriate. First of all, the yacht is not new, and people will ignore the issue of its actual value.

In people's eyes, second-hand yachts range from tens of thousands to 10,000+.

When most people estimate the value of this kind of thing, they will not estimate it so high. They will only think that the yacht is worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Tens of thousands of dollars, for the bottom of the federal government with a minimum of 340 dollars, this figure does not seem so far away!

Yes, it's only tens of thousands of dollars. Even if these people can't even come up with thousands of dollars, they won't think that tens of thousands of dollars is so great.

Second-hand, less ostentatious gifts are certainly less noticeable.

Plus it's the same as before.

It's safer than sending something new and expensive, at least from the public's point of view, it's acceptable to them, if they can know.

It's just that only the former president himself knows how long this yacht was bought and what is on it.

Lynch expressed his joy at this, and then accepted the gift.

Then there are the capitalists.

The capitalists are less subtle when they give things, and most of them give shares, which is also the normal way for capitalists to give gifts.

Don't think that these capitalists are giving shares to curry favor or cause pain, they don't at all!
As long as they leave the manor, they will immediately tell the financial market that one of their companies has been favored by Mr. Lynch. He is very optimistic about his company and has already held shares, and intends to continue to increase his holdings.

The transferred shares can bring him more wealth in an instant, and Lynch will then privately resell the shares to these people at a certain premium in accordance with the gift agreement.

In addition, art, jewelry, customized luxury cars, and even some luxury brands also offered some birthday gifts.

Like some new luxury cars, there is a row outside the manor.

They were all given away by the manufacturer for free when they heard that Lynch was going to celebrate his birthday today.

till the end……

The not tall Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee also took out a small box, which was smaller than the previous Mr. President, and gave it to Lynch.

"A small thing, I shouldn't be doing this, but I thought about it, and I really don't know what to give you."

"So I took a trick, I hope you don't mind."

Lynch and more people focused their attention on this smaller box, and then Lynch tore off its outer packaging, revealing a jewelry box, like... for rings.

Some people have realized what is inside, and these people's breathing is a little short.

And there are many people who are full of curiosity about what's inside, and they want to inquire about it.

People who know it never mention it.

People who don't know are also confused.

Lynch opened it and looked at it. It was a very simple ring.

There weren't any gems on it, and it wasn't gold or silver, it just looked like a rusted and poorly maintained brass ring.

But he immediately put it on his hand and smiled, "I like this gift very much..."

The most important gift-unwrapping part of the birthday was over, and Lynch and Catherine also temporarily left the lawn.

They need to go back and change their clothes, from more formal attire to dinner party attire.

While changing clothes, Catherine was a little curious, "Is there anything special about that ring?"

Lynch took off the ring and threw it away, which surprised Catherine!
You must know that the gifts that people gave all night have made Catherine numb and numb, but none of the gifts aroused Lynch's interest, except this ring.

This shows that it is different from other gifts, and it can even be said that it is the real and only gift worthy of Lynch's attention!
Throwing such a precious thing directly... Catherine was afraid that she might not catch it.

Fortunately, she was still young, she caught the ring smoothly, then rolled her eyes at Lynch, and carefully looked at the ring in her hand.

Nothing special, just so simple and unadorned.

There are some inconspicuous patterns. Inside the ring, there is a number, but there is no other representative thing to be found.

"what is this?"

She returned the ring to Lynch and asked casually.

Lynch put the ring back casually, and said with a smile, "This is a key, it can open the door to this world!"

Yes, Lynch's final review was passed, and he became an official member of Eternal Life. From today onwards, he needs to fulfill his obligations as a member of Eternal Life and enjoy the power it brings.

Until this moment, Lynch finally stepped into the top society of the Federation.

A closed, small place, but a place that everyone yearns for!
When he returned to the lawn, the atmosphere was much more lively. Lynch went directly to the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee and thanked him.

Although no one in Eternal Life objected to Lynch's application, no one strongly agreed with it either.

He actually did one thing for the entire Eternal Life Organization, which is to provide an unknown thing.

It is really impossible to join the eternal life just by doing this little thing.

But if someone wants to interfere, things will become less complicated.

It's not because of the kindness of the little old man in front of him, it's actually an exchange of benefits.

The little old man helped Lynch get his status recognized in advance, and Lynch needed to support the little old man's heir in the work of the party.

In the Commonwealth, politics is inseparable from capitalists, they need Lynch's wealth and influence, each takes what they need.

As for why you are so anxious...

Each has its own reasons.

"Time" is running out for the chairman of the Progressive Party committee. He must pave the way for his successor before his own power and influence begin to wane, ensuring that he can grasp the power he has left behind to the greatest extent possible.

And for Lynch, his "time" is running out!
With the victory of Mr. Truman, there is actually a seemingly inconspicuous rift between him and Mr. Truman, but it will never heal. Instead, it will grow bigger and deeper!

Outsiders can't see it, only they know it.

Now Mr. Truman's high-profile support for all Lynch's work is not to repay his political investment in his own campaign, but to firmly bind Lynch to himself.

When people mention Lynch in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is Mr. Truman.

Once the re-election is over, the new president will never use a big capitalist like Lynch who binds the previous president, and he must be careful even in connection.

And Mr. Truman has enough reasons to cut Lynch's wings and influence in other ways!
Like through the hands of the next president!

The Commonwealth does not need a second Duncan family, nor does it need a second Mr. Geruno.

Lynch is ambitious, capable, and most importantly, he has no fear of authority!

This is precisely the most irreconcilable part between Mr. Truman and Lynch. The two sides are using each other and starting to guard against each other.

What Mr. Truman needs is an obedient tool, Lynch does not want to be a dog, and they will never compromise.

Maximizing his influence during Mr. Truman's tenure is only part of Lynch's plan.

He believes that Mr. Truman will also support him, because this is exactly what Mr. Truman hopes.

Some things are inconvenient for the federal government to take action, but Lynch is very convenient to do so. At the same time, people have to realize that this is the will of the federal government...

The Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee could vaguely guess all of this. The reason why he was so relieved to complete the interest agreement with Lynch was because he trusted Lynch more than Mr. Truman.

You must know that Mr. Truman is from the military, and his ruling itself is not so suitable. This is the result of a compromise between the federal government and the military on some issues.

But this does not mean that the Progressive Party has truly accepted a president from the military!

This is precisely the part Lynch wants to exploit.

Unite with those who can, and fight against those who cannot.

This is politics.
