Chapter 2205

After Lynch arranged for someone to keep an eye on the plumber, he stopped paying attention.

As long as this guy can't bear to commit crimes again, as long as it is him, then Lynch will definitely know whether he is a "killer plumber".

Not two days after the dinner, Gladstone made a phone call to communicate with Lynch.

Mr. Chunky is willing to reach a settlement with Lynch. Anyone can use the patented technologies listed by Lynch unconditionally without paying any licensing fees to North Industries Group for the use of these technologies.

In the industrial system, R&D is always at the forefront, preventing many people from entering this industry, and making companies in many fields bow their heads to them.

That is, these core patented technologies, such as some engine core technologies that Lynch requested to disclose.

These core technologies are called "core", but it does not mean that they are the technologies that North Industries Group is using, or that the important thing about these technologies lies in their "basic nature".

They may not be advanced, or even many generations behind, but their foundations and the barriers formed around these foundations are the most troublesome things.

It's like someone first invented clothes and registered a patent, and later people have to pay for the patent no matter what material they use to make clothes.

It is even possible that the person who holds the patent prohibits others from making clothes, he has this right.

At this time, either change to another line of business and start again, or bow down and integrate with the rule-makers to use its basic patents, or simply design the patents for dresses directly, avoiding the patents and barriers of clothes.

For example, the patent barrier "has two sleeves".

But not everyone has the ability to dig a new hole like Lynch's Flight Research Institute, and now the opening of basic patents and the disappearance of barriers allow more people to develop their own skills based on "the most basic clothes" ability.

At least they can produce clothes!
Without barriers to entry, this is actually not a terrible loss for North Industries Group.

Even if the patents are released, their technology is ahead of other companies, and there are many, many latecomers.

It's just that Lynch's request puts everyone in a relatively fair state. In this state, everyone has the opportunity to catch up without having to bear other efforts.

This is also one of the reasons why Mr. Chunky and his colleagues are willing to agree. The release of basic patents will only increase the pressure of competition in the future.

But it will not change the structure of the industry in a short period of time, and if they don't let go, Lynch's attacks will continue, and it's hard to say who the follow-up patents belong to!

So it is better to let it go, anyway, it may be lost, it is better to use these in exchange for an armistice agreement.

Lynch asked the chief engineer of the Flight Research Institute to check it out, and people from the Patent Registration Office of the Social Service Bureau confirmed that the nature of the patent had changed.

"This matter is over, they have paid the price."

"And now there are some special circumstances, some overseas funds are trying to find agents to enter heavy industry enterprises, which poses a threat to our security."

"We should focus on these thieves, don't you think?" Gladstone seemed responsible as a mediator.

In addition to expressing his willingness to support Connor's rise to power, Mr. Chunky also gave him some extra benefits.

This part of the benefits is really not small, and it is difficult for him to refuse.

Taking advantage of others, he naturally wants to speak for others, and he also thinks that Lynch doesn't need to fight those people to the end.

After all, Mr. Trueman is dead. He has done enough. No matter how much he does, it will not have any practical significance.

For politicians, living and influential people are the most important.

Gladstone inherited the rights of the previous chairman of the committee, but how much respect did he show for the old man who handed him the political legacy?
If he really respected that old guy enough, that old man wouldn't go to settle in the city next to Slem!
How could anyone who has been in this position completely break away from the past so easily?
Wasn't it because he found that Gladstone didn't care what he thought at all, and he didn't even want to pretend?

But then again, Gladstone finally climbed into this position and asked him to follow the instructions of the retired old man and turn himself into a puppet. This was not the result he wanted.

So the two will inevitably split, but Gladstone's decision surprised the old man, and he also understood that it was meaningless for him to continue in the Federation, and would cause trouble instead, so he left directly.

Listening to Gladstone's words, Lynch smiled and agreed, "As long as he fulfills all his promises, I will let him go..."

"It's settled?" Gladstone didn't quite believe that Lynch would be so easy to talk, and couldn't help reconfirming it again.

Lynch is famous for his dystocia and difficult to get along with. For those who don't know him, Lynch is like a psychopath.

Sometimes it's easy to talk, and sometimes it doesn't listen at all.

"It's settled, can you rest assured?"

Lynch didn't pay attention to the little ridicule in Gladstone's tone, and his tone became more relaxed, "I'm too busy these days, I'll treat you to dinner later."

After speaking, the two chatted a few more words and hung up the phone.

That's not Gladstone's rhetoric. The states are submitting new lists of senators to Congress. With the addition of eight states, the number of seats in the U.S. Senate has increased to 61.

Among them, each of the 36 native states has two senators, and the Bupain District has two separate senators, which is 37 people, plus the speaker, [-] people.

The chairman of the Socialist Party Committee gave him a "friendship seat". Although he is also a senator, he has not joined any committees and usually has no sense of presence.

But it's easy to know who he is. Just look at who keeps abstaining from voting, and it must be him.

In addition to him, there are five special seats, so the Senate plus the speaker has 43 people.

Now, adding the 16 people brought by the eight new states to the 43 people, there are 59 people.

But in fact Congress has 63 seats prepared, and there will be an additional four special seats.

Because with the federal open immigration policy, the population has increased by 60.00% and now has a population of 7000 million. Some states with concentrated populations will naturally receive more attention.

The four new special seats added this time are for the four states with the largest population in the federation.

In this way, there are 63 congressional seats, and the list has basically been handed in.

If there are no other problems, Congress will soon announce the new list of the Senate for this term.

As for the changes in the seats of the House of Representatives, except for the position of the speaker, no one pays much attention to the changes in the seats of other ordinary members of the House of Representatives.

There are many seats in the House of Representatives, and they change quickly, so not too many people care about it.

The change in Congress is a huge innovation for the entire federal political system, which means that what used to require only 29 people to agree, now requires 43 people to agree.

It almost takes the previous "unanimous vote" to pass!

The changes in the number of people, the increase in positions, and the contest of capital forces behind them are bound to bring more unknown things to Congress.

At the same time, the issue of internal competition will become more serious, because there are only so many power committees, and the number has increased by 50.00%.

Can't let the newly joined senators have nothing to do?

It's also not in Congressional style.

So everyone is writing reports and documents. The regular meeting in February has been postponed to the end of the month or March. In addition to confirming the list, everyone is preparing materials.

According to information disclosed by Senator Landon, the standing committee may have six to ten new members.

Part of it is the split of the previous committees, for example, the "Federal Science Education Committee" will be split into "Federal Science Development Committee" and "Federal Science Education Committee".

The former will be mainly responsible for promoting scientific development, while the latter will focus on education issues in an all-round way.

And this happened to cater to Mr. Truman's planned education reform plan. Eight years later, the education problem has been greatly improved.

The university alliance promoted by Lynch has also begun to show results. Education is no longer completely controlled by education interest groups. Therefore, it is necessary to separate the education system from the science education system and set up a separate committee.

Other committees will be new, such as the "Federal Commission on Religious Affairs".

Before the Religious Affairs Committee was a temporary committee, the belief environment in the Federation was relatively simple before the Great Immigration.

Although there are some individual religious organizations, overall there is no need to set up a committee in Congress to manage these people.

For example, the total number of registered religious members is only five, and it is still a fucking family. It is obviously unnecessary to assign people to take charge of this situation.

The larger ones, such as churches that support polygamy, have a large number of churches, but they have not shown any destructive power.

So religious issues have always been temporary.

But with the incorporation of Nagalil and Marillo, the tendency of Sadoras, and the opening of the big immigration, the Federation has more and more religions and conflicts.

It's time to set up a committee dedicated to this issue.

These are changes in Congress. Senator Langdon is also writing reports and materials. Of course, he is not proposing any new committees.

Senator Langdon is currently serving as a member of the Federal Natural Environment Committee and is still in charge of federal environmental issues, which he did before.

It's just that he was a member of the House of Representatives before, and he was a runner, but now he is presiding over the work, and others are running errands.

What he wants now is to make the power he currently has more power, such as legislating more environmental issues!
