Chapter 2117

If respect between people is mutual, then it is a matter of morality.

But if respect is only one sided, then this is class!
The worship and respect for money and power from the bottom up has divided society into many levels.

People like to be respected themselves, not to respect others.

Whether it's the team leader in the workshop with less than 500 yuan, or the politicians who stand at the top of the federal political arena.

It's all so!

When Lynch disembarked from the docked cruise ship, Gladstone and Connor were already waiting for him at the port, which is respect.

But such respect often hides something else behind it.

Besides the two of them there were some other entourage, as well as some reporters.

Lynch doesn't even waste his brain cells thinking about why these reporters are here, there is no doubt that they brought them!
He even thought about tomorrow's newspaper headlines——

"Strong Presidential Election Candidate Connor and Lynch Reach Cooperation"

Speaking of which, the general election is still a year away, but the atmosphere of declaring war has gradually emerged.

The Progressive Party, the Conservative Party, and even the Socialist Party all ran out to get votes and successfully get to that position.

Here's an interesting... kind of news.

The Socialist Party had accumulated some strength before the outbreak of the war. They planned to take a state as a base first, and then gradually gain a foothold in Congress.

But the problem is that as soon as we embarked on the road of development, war came.

During the war, everything was managed according to wartime regulations, and the main supporters of the Socialist Party were the middle and lower classes of society.

This part of the people was the most stressed during the war, so that after the war ended, they realized that they had gone back to a few years ago overnight!

Their supporters are facing troublesome family financial problems, who has the ability and time to support them as president?

Now that the previous plan died due to the war, they came up with a new plan to run for president.

They're not really trying to run for president, it's essentially a scam!
It's just that the targets of their fraud are some international capital forces who have not yet figured out the game of federal politics, and they use the method of persuading some foreign capital forces.

Received a political donation, according to gossip, several of their core members were considering whether to run away with the money.

But later, under the persuasion of their committee chairman, everyone gave up the idea.

They will use the money to go on a national public speaking tour across the Commonwealth, knowing they can't beat the Progressives and Conservatives.

So from the very beginning, what these people said to those foreign capital forces, "We will try our best to fight for it", was a scam. They just hoped to use this money to let more people know about them and understand them.

As for the election?

They did their best!
Some people think that this will be an opportunity for the rise of the Socialist Party, but... these foreign capitals may be stupid for a while, but they will definitely not stay stupid forever.

It is hard to say what the future of the Socialist Party will be. Just because they are actively preparing for the general election, it still adds a lot of topicality to the election campaign.

"Lynch!" Gladstone was very enthusiastic, but Slem's popularity and the pressure of the general election forced him to lower his posture.

Before he became the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, the old man in his eyes was definitely the only supreme existence in this country!
It seems that nothing can make him feel troublesome!
At that time, Gladstone believed that some of the reasons were due to the old man's rich experience and experience.

Part of the reason is because of his status!
Anyone, even a pig standing in that high position, would have too much trouble, or no trouble that they would think was too much trouble.

The resources they can mobilize go up to the president of the country, members of Congress, down to the people at the bottom, and factory workers.

With such rights, what else can't they solve?
But now, he has met it!

A large number of reporters pointed large and small cameras at Gladstone, who was striding towards Lynch, during this seemingly formal reception or meeting process.

The party with a higher status will often stand in place, and only the party with a lower status will take the initiative to meet them!
It is "welcome", a word that is difficult to explain.

Lynch stood at the foot of the steps outside the gangway, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gladstone who came over. Gladstone's attitude was very low, to the extent that Lynch was a little surprised.

This also shows that the current situation is more serious than what they communicated on the phone.

"You made a big fight!", Lynch said with a smile.

Gladstone also knew that Lynch was referring to the reporters who kept pressing the shutters around him. He also kept his facial expression at this time and replied, "We need to fight back, and the Progressive Party also needs to fight back."

"This is a favor I owe you..."

While talking at this time, Connor also came over, and the two shook hands again.

The three of them behaved very cordially in front of the camera.

This is enough reason to make people wonder whether they have made any agreement before.

Look, the media didn't know when Lynch would return to the Commonwealth, so these two people came to pick him up early, and they must have contacted before that.

And there is only one reason for them to do this with such a low profile and high attitude, and that is the election campaign!

Reminiscent of the rare weakness of the Progressive Party in public opinion, both reporters and readers who are about to read these reports will have their own associations!
The three posed for a while, then boarded the car, and Gladstone said he was hosting Lynch for dinner tonight, so naturally between dinners, they had to talk.

Lynch was in his own car, and the convoy followed Gladstone's car into Gladstone's manor in the suburbs.

The last gaze of the reporters also stayed at this moment.

They couldn't chase in, it was a private place, and even if Gladstone wanted to have more reports about their relationship with Lynch, he wouldn't allow reporters to chase in.

Lynch simply washed up, changed a set of clothes, and then took a rest before meeting the two people who had been waiting in Gladstone's study.

Gladstone's study room is so large that it looks like a small library. The bookcases are more than four meters high and you have to climb a ladder to get to the top book.

The study room is filled with a unique smell emitted by the decaying process of ink and paper, which is very "bookish".

After the three sat down separately, Lynch raised his own doubts, "Is there a lot of pressure on the general election now?"

Gladstone glanced at Connor, who nodded, "That's true."

"Now there are a large number of foreign capitalists who are fully supporting the Conservative Party to come to power. They don't only contribute money, but also a lot of high-quality jobs."

"The reason for these is the Conservative Party's commitment not to further expand the Commonwealth's international status and not to engage in various competitions."

"I've also heard some senior members of the Conservative Party think the departure tax is unreasonable...

This is of course unreasonable for foreign capital. Why should I pay a huge amount of tax if I want to take away the money I earned with my real skills?

Only the Federation has such unreasonable regulations in the world.

If the Conservative Party can push for the abolition or amendment of the Departure Tax Act, it will be a good thing of great significance to foreign investment.

Of course, this kind of thing, in fact, the high-level executives are very clear in their hearts, whoever dares to mess around is the enemy!
The departure tax has trapped a lot of funds in the federation. If they use it for business, consumption and all expenses in the federation, then one dollar is still one dollar.

But once their funds are about to leave the Federation, there will be fifty cents left for one dollar, and it may be even less!
So this is a good thing, a good policy with only good and no bad.

If the Conservative Party really wants to move this policy, then the entire federal society will not give them any good looks!

The reason why they say this is nothing more than they want to get more funds from foreign capital, and let their own people come to power first.

After the Conservative Party president came to power, many things became easy to solve.

As for some things that have been promised to be resolved but have not yet been resolved, isn’t there re-election and the next general election?

Do you want to continue supporting us?

But regardless of whether they were joking or not, using these rhetoric as a cover has attracted a lot of funds.

In particular, they put the focus of development back home, which is very important to many neutral countries.

As long as the Federation does not continue to engage in international affairs and threaten their rule, they are willing to spend a little money to buy peace.

It is definitely not possible to give money directly, but there is no problem in promoting the Conservative Party with such ideas to power.

The Conservative Party is getting more and more support from abroad, and the pressure on the Progressive Party's campaign is also increasing.

Elections are a process of brainwashing. States in the traditional party camp need not be too nervous, and swing states are their main battlefields.

The people in the swing states have a very simple view on the general election. They will choose whoever can benefit them.

However, the current Conservative Party is rich in funds and has a lot to offer, which can attract the attention of a large number of voters.

The Progressive Party is not far behind, and the expansion of international affairs will not directly reflect the domestic livelihood.

They also lack deep pockets.

The six major federal banks rarely participate in election campaigns.

One reason is that for them, no one who becomes president can shake their position in the federal economic and financial fields.

Secondly, if the six major banks end, it is easy for the election campaign to get out of control.

After all, the banks are too damn rich, and the campaign itself is a money-burning process!

Voters are simple and stupid sometimes, just give them a roast chicken and a glass of beer and they'll vote for you!
So banks do not participate in order to avoid escalating competition.

The more capital invested, the less willing to bear the bitter fruit of failure, resulting in failure to end.

But Lynch is different. Although he is the seventh largest bank, he owns more than just banks!
