Chapter 2199

Lynch slowly drew out a card and threw it on the table, "Mr. Truman is a good man."

He glanced at Connor and nodded with a smile, not alluding to him.

"He's one of the few men of good character I've ever met, and apart from Joanna, he doesn't live a rich life."

"He gave more energy and time to the Federation and the people."

"At the same time, he is also my best friend."

Lynch slowly drew out the biggest card and put it on the table, "If it's just these, it's not enough!"

The people at the gaming table looked at the cards Lynch placed on the table, and the eyes of the Deputy Minister of Justice became lively.

In the case of North Industries Group, the Ministry of Justice is also very passive, and the director who "suicided" in the special prison of the Ministry of Justice is more like a resounding slap!

People in this society are told all day long, especially the poor, that money is not everything.

They can list many examples, for example, money cannot buy love, for example, money cannot buy time, for example, money cannot buy life.

People actually believed it!

But they forget that love without money is a grave, and from the moment it begins, this relationship is doomed to pain!
They forget that they are selling their time and labor in exchange for money, and the capitalists just use a little money to spend most of their lives on the assembly line!

They have forgotten the sorrow of the medical group refusing to provide them with medical services when they cannot afford the money, and they have forgotten that both internal medicine and external medicine need to be paid.

They have forgotten too many things, and they simply think that these statements are true!
Money is not all powerful!
Compared with family, compared with affection, compared with more noble qualities, money is not worth mentioning.

Then they suffer without money, thinking that this is a "trial" given to them by God.

In fact, money is everything.

It is so versatile that the face of the Ministry of Justice is swollen!

The internal disciplinary department of the Ministry of Justice has already started to act and found this loophole before the security committee and the internal affairs department found the problem.

A prison guard who was in charge of guarding the suspect was bought, and he was bought for many years.

In fact, this prison guard had been serving the five major Bupen families before, or in other words, one of Bupen's senior brokers.

And this broker mainly serves the five major families, and of course also takes care of business in the political arena.

After all, in the past, as the five major families were well-known criminal organizations in the Federation, there would always be some people who would choose to stand up and become tainted witnesses when faced with serious harm to their own interests.

Or maybe they need to pass some information into this particular prison, so they need a channel.

After the collapse of the five major families, this channel was still there, but it was not very useful, until the North Industries Group spent a lot of money to find this broker.

He collected a fee of 60 yuan, and then gave 8 yuan to the prison guards. The prison guards only need to pass on some news, and then kill people by the way.

Technically the director committed suicide, but the prison guards helped a little.

He fixed the director's body on the toilet with zero rope, and then the director himself pressed the flush button.

The water flow filled the toilet in an instant, and the toilet that had been blocked for a long time was filled with water in an instant.

At about one minute and 40 seconds, the director, who was struggling fiercely, stopped breathing, and then the prison guard untied the rope and left quietly.

Judging from the results of the on-site survey, he did commit suicide, but without those ropes binding him, he couldn't overcome his survival instinct.

After the Ministry of Justice got rid of the prison guard, the Minister was in a bit of trouble again.

He is the candidate chosen by President Truman, but at this time there are only ten months left before the general election.

Now that Norinco has found Gladstone and Connor again, as the hottest candidates for the next president, the Minister of Justice has become difficult to do.

If you continue to pursue it, it might make everyone look bad.

In the political arena at this time, it does not mean that he has been the Minister of Justice and will leave the political arena after retirement.

He could have gotten a new job from Connor, or a decent retirement job.

But if he didn't pursue it, the Ministry of Justice couldn't maintain its dignity, so he sent the deputy minister here, and wanted to talk to Gladstone about how to solve it.

Although the Deputy Minister of Justice didn't mind participating in the poker game, he wasn't too happy about it. There were still important things to say.

At this time, Lynch's joining and his confrontation with Gladstone and Connor without giving them face made the deputy minister feel that he might be able to use Lynch to accomplish what the minister asked him to do.

In just two seconds, he thought clearly, "I'm sorry."

He first ended his identity in the game, and then followed Lynch's words, "Some of their actions have gone too far. I don't think there is anything that cannot be resolved through discussion."

"They plotted to assassinate the President, they had a de facto monopoly, and they arranged for the killing of key witnesses in our prisons."

"They should be taught a lesson, at least let them know that it is not possible to get on the boat first and pay for the ticket later."

The deputy chief expressed his opinion very tactfully, and Connor gave him a sideways look.

Everyone knows that this view must come from the Minister of Justice, and has no intention of embarrassing the Deputy Minister.

Seeing that Lynch didn't speak, Gladstone nodded, "It's a bit excessive... I can't afford it..."

He paused as he spoke, hesitating a bit, "It's just that this measurement is not easy to grasp."

Connor looked at Gladstone again, then tapped the table twice to say no, while everyone else chose not to.

Lynch continued to play cards, he picked a combination card and placed it on the table.

"I heard that they formed a de facto monopoly by mastering some patent barriers. I don't know much about the law. Can these patents turn them into..."

Lynch pondered for a while, and found a word, "Unowned patent?"

"Anyone can use it without paying any fees?"

The Deputy Minister of Justice immediately realized that this was Lynch's condition. He pondered for a while and nodded, "Yes, if they are willing to give up these patents and make them public property."

"Then anyone using these patents is legal and does not need to pay any fees!"

These patents do not seem to be very expensive, but they can provide effective protection for North Industries Group's position in the industry!
If you can't get around these patents, you must follow the rules of the game of the patent holder.

Lynch is not very interested in money, what he wants is to break the current stagnant situation of heavy industry.

As long as some patents that seriously prevent others from entering the industry are completely open, the industry will enter a stage of reshuffle.

At that time, not only domestic capital will join in, but international capital will not let go of such a good opportunity.

Although the Deputy Minister of Justice didn't know whether Lynch's conditions were easy or harsh, he knew that since Lynch spoke, it must be reasonable.

He shook his head, expressing that he couldn't accept the cards on the table.

In fact, it is not a big combination of cards. He can afford it, but he can't.

Gladstone took out a few cards from his hand and placed them on the table, larger than Lynch's cards. "I will talk to them about this. You can give me some patented content and I will arrange it."

To him, like the Deputy Minister of Justice, he is not completely clear about patents and the various benefits brought about by patents.

They were just patents, which he thought would convince Mr. Chunky and his group to give up.

After all, Lynch doesn't care anymore, and they do have to make some final concessions, right?
Connor lowered his head and looked at the cards in his hand, and took out a few and placed them on the table.

It is of course the best result for Lynch to negotiate a deal. In fact, he doesn't care much about the political donations from the North Industries Group.

Not to mention that he is not a poor person, Lynch can afford all the expenses of the election by himself.

What he cares about is the workers in the hands of heavy industry companies!

Let alone a few thousand people in a heavy industry enterprise, most heavy industry enterprises are large factories with tens of thousands of people, some may have tens of thousands of people, 10,000+ people!

Are these people ordinary workers?
Maybe they are in normal times, but in election time, they are the most important voters!

There are many voters, and only those who are under control are the real good voters, and these people are good voters.

In the past, some of these people belonged to swingers, while more than half of the other two were supporters of the Conservative Party.

Turn this part into a supporter of the Progressive Party, or a supporter of his Connor, then his winning rate will be higher!

And Mr. Chunky said that the monument to Mr. Truman, the charity fund named after him, and other things will be handed over to Connor to organize.

The North Industries Group can participate completely anonymously, only paying money, without mentioning their names.

These things can bring Connor great personal reputation. After all, the Federation reached its peak during Mr. Trueman's tenure.

Up to now, many people are full of gratitude and admiration for the president. If they preside over something like the Truman Monument, they can turn some of the people who still miss Truman into their supporters.

He doesn't care about other things now, as long as it can increase the approval rate, it is good for him.

Who can become the president, this is the most critical!
Lynch easily won the first round and earned a total of 20 yuan.

After reshuffling the cards, Gladstone took the initiative to bring up the York Gang.

"Now the York Gang is getting bigger and bigger. I heard that there are new people from Marillo who want to join the York Gang?"

"Catherine's big list is about to be submitted. In the second half of the year, I may need your help with some minor matters."

The influence of the York Gang in Congress is growing, and Lynch, who controls everything behind the scenes, is naturally seen by all parties.

Lynch smiled, "Okay..."
