Chapter 2364

Replacing Gladstone is something that the old man of the Progressive Party has been thinking about since he arrived in Nagaril.

Gladstone's approach was disappointing, and some in the party complained about his excessive control.

He wants no one to keep any secrets from him, and needs to be able to control the operation of the entire party.

The most extreme thing is that when he asks someone to do something, it's better that the person doesn't tell him that he can't do it, or has other things.

Then he will get angry, and he will think that this behavior is challenging his authority!

But in fact this is not the case. Everyone has more or less their own work to do.

He suddenly thought of something, asking others to put down their work and follow his orders.

Some things can be delayed, so these people may follow his arrangement.

But some things are tight in time, or are about to end, as long as these people are disobedient, he will be angry.

In the past few years, many old people have been punished by him because of these things. After these people leave their jobs, they will call the old people of the Progressive Party to express their grievances and anger.

As time passed, he felt more and more that he had chosen the wrong person.

The question raised by Lynch at this time made him feel a little embarrassed and he didn't know how to answer it.

Because he has already misjudged it once, if another successor like Gladstone is chosen, the Progressive Party may become weak due to continuous turmoil.

Lynch saw that he didn't answer, and knew that he hadn't really thought about it yet.

Saying this now is more like a... emotional vent.

Just like the gambling dogs who have completely calmed down after leaving the casino, they will continue to regret and swear that they will never go to the casino again.

It's an emotional outlet that they're not really ready to leave gambling.

"We'll talk about it after you've figured out who to replace Gladstone and how to deal with the various issues that have arisen since Gladstone left the Progressive Party."

The old man of the Progressive Party nodded, "I will seriously consider it."

The next morning, Lynch and the old Conservative Party went to the state government in Slem and met Catherine and the professor.

"I heard about your achievements when I was in the Federation, Ms. Catherine."

"I have to admit that on some issues, you have an advantage over male governors!"

"Under your leadership, the local economic construction is advancing at an unimaginable speed, which greatly exceeds people's expectations."

The old man of the Conservative Party is an absolutely qualified politician, and his flattery is definitely not hard-hitting, and it is well-founded.

"Originally when we looked at the tax situation for the three new regions of Nagalil, we first looked at the financial states to the west."

"As the financial center of the southern hemisphere, it may have just played a role, and the economic and financial affairs of the southern hemisphere are not particularly active."

"But even so, we think its transaction volume is amazing, and it can provide us with relatively ideal tax revenue every year."

"And then several large port cities in the east, the economic benefits brought by these ports with the largest throughput in the world are even higher than some port cities in the Federation."

"And its unique economic and ecological environment will make it a commodity wholesale distribution center!"

"But we ultimately found that the area that brought us the most benefit was the area you controlled, Ms. Catherine."

"You can't imagine how surprised the old antiques in Congress were when they knew this!"

The conservative old man is not shy about his praise, but it is also true.

Tax revenues of billions or tens of billions a year have already accounted for about [-]% of federal tax revenue, and this number will continue to rise slowly.

This is just the tax revenue of the city of Slem. If the tax revenue of the surrounding supporting cities is taken into account, this figure will become even more!

In the Federation, wealth always comes first, so when such a large amount of money "appeared out of thin air", Catherine's name was remembered by Congress and even the entire upper class society of the Federation!

Catherine kept a reserved smile, and the professor's eyes were full of excitement.

To be praised so much by a big shot, even if she didn't do much, still feels a sense of honor and glory.

Catherine smiled modestly facing the old man of the Conservative Party, "I just did my best. Fortunately, I didn't mess up these things."

"Of course, of course you didn't screw up these things, you've done enough, that's why I want to retire here!"

"Fast development, affluence, full of fun and relaxed environment, it is very suitable for retirement."

At this time, the professor continued, "...Sir, you know, Catherine and I are still 'freshmen', and we are still lacking in formulating the future development direction of a region and formulating some detailed policies."

"I don't know if we have the honor to invite you as a special advisor to the state government to provide us with some advice when necessary?"

"Of course considering your age, we will not require you to come to the state government to work, you can work from home, and you will only have a job when we call you."

The old man of the Conservative Party nodded his head in satisfaction, "Of course, I am willing to do this, but can I ask how much salary I have?"

He laughed loudly as he said, "Although I am old, I think I can still make money. Of course, this is also to prepare for tax returns."

"I can give you a salary of 600 yuan per month."

This money... is not too much, and it cannot be too much, because giving more to taxpayers will cause trouble.

The conservative old man seemed very satisfied with this figure and agreed on the spot. Everyone knew that what prompted him to agree was not the salary check issued to him by the state government every month.

But there are more interests hidden behind it!

But... ordinary people don't care so much about what's behind it, as long as the state government doesn't waste their tax dollars, they won't have much opinion!

The matter was settled quickly. The old man of the Conservative Party went through some formalities and sent the news of his entry to the offices of various departments through the internal channels of the state government, so that everyone would not be ignorant of the matter.

Lynch then took the conservative old man to the casino to open an account, which was the kind that could be settled directly with the casino.

That is to deposit the money equivalent to the chips directly into the account, or exchange the chips directly from the account, instead of needing to convert into money, and then proceed to the next step.

If nothing else, the old man can win two to three million yuan every year through gambling in Slem, but he won't win more!
His luck can only support him to win no more than 30 chips. If it exceeds 30, his luck will decline and he may lose a lot of money!

But he is also a person with self-control. Whenever he wins about 30, he will definitely stop.

Lynch returned to Catherine's apartment after arranging the affairs of the old man of the Conservative Party.

In order to thank the state government for everything the industry committee has done here, the industry committee paid for the construction of several luxury apartments next to the state government for the staff of the state government to live in.

Catherine naturally lived in the best "apartment" as governor.

It is said to be an apartment, but it is actually a super large flat, with an area of ​​more than 600 square meters, which is enough for her to deal with various problems.

Moreover, Lynch still has a big villa in the city, so if you really need a bigger venue, you can go to him.

"I heard that Tracy is going to sprint for the Senate?" As soon as Lynch sat down, Catherine asked this question that she cared about.

The professor also pricked up his ears, looking like he was making some pastries, but in fact all his attention was on Lynch.

Lynch was a little surprised, "How did you know?"

He had only talked with Ms. Tracy about this matter the day before yesterday. He did not expect that Catherine was far away in Nagalil, so he already knew about it now.

Catherine rolled her eyes, "You forgot, I worked in a women's rights organization before, and there are some friends of mine over there."

"They told me that Tracy is going to run for the Senate and is mobilizing more female voters to support her."

"Some people asked for my thoughts, so I found out about it yesterday."

Lynch wasn't surprised after hearing it, but just found it funny.

After Ms. Tracy became a politician through women's rights, she seemed to have a superstitious understanding of mobilizing women.

She felt that as long as she mobilized enough women to support her, there was no problem she couldn't solve.

This kind of cognition... is not outrageous, and it is possible to realize it, but it is only a small problem.

For things like entering Congress, no matter how many women stand up, it is difficult to change the decisions of the gentlemen in Congress.

After all, this is not something that can be changed by relying on the power of ordinary people. The final decision is in the hands of the gentlemen, not the hands of ordinary people!
This is not the same as voting for the president. The president needs votes because the general election is a direct election.

And the Congressmen can completely ignore the opinions of ordinary people on certain matters, because it has never been voters or public opinion that decides whether they can stay in Congress!
The professor came over with pastries and coffee, and then sat aside. "She suddenly wants to rush towards the senator at this time. Is the movement too big?"

The question was very careful, although there was no clear expression or hint between the lines, but Lynch could feel that she was asking if this was his opinion.

Lynch didn't hide it, "I asked her to do this."

The eyes of the two women were focused on Lynch. Lynch picked up a piece of fruit and took a bite.

Fresh and juicy, the climate of Nagalil makes the tropical fruits here sweet and full of water, which are much tastier than the local fruits of the Federation!
"In two years, you will definitely change positions. I don't need to repeat the importance of Slem, so the federal government will definitely hold it firmly in its hands."

"Instead of letting you directly try to sprint for Congress at that time, it is better to let Tracy try first now."

"She will definitely not win, but this is a good start, even if she loses badly."

"For any change, there must be bloodshed and sacrifice first, so as to awaken people's determination to change..."
