The purpose of capitalists investing in political party elections is to profit from winning elections.

If they had a choice, they would actually prefer to buy the Progressive Party's victory. But now that Lynch alone controls all aspects of the Progressive Party, even if they invest, the returns they get will be pitiful.

But it would be better to invest in the Conservative Party.

This is also the nature of capital, to pursue higher rates of return!

As for risk, that’s another question!

Even if there is only a 1% success rate, as long as the rate of return is enough for them to have the courage to give it a try, they will dare to invest money.

Invest one dollar and get a hundred dollars in return. What’s there to be afraid of?

In addition to these investors, there are also some investors who really want to break the dominance of the Progressive Party and Global Communications in the next stage.

In fact, everyone knows that once the GSM monopoly is formed, it will not be an eight or sixteen-year monopoly. It will most likely be a monopoly for hundreds or even thousands of years!

There is a high probability that its monopoly will be longer than the history of the Federation, and it will be as long as it will be rotten!

Therefore, before it forms an absolute monopoly, the best way is to break it and prevent it from being a monopoly. And these people have invested the most in the Conservative Party.

In the conference room, the conservative candidates were constantly criticized by some capitalists who pursue large returns, even though they are pursuing ultra-high returns of one percent or one ten thousandth.

But I still feel uncomfortable watching my money go down the drain. A few words of curse can be regarded as a kind of explanation and relief to myself.

It’s just that they don’t know that because of their actions, they have been blacklisted by the chairman of the Conservative Party Committee.

The campaign team was scolded so hard that they couldn't hold their heads up during the entire meeting, which lasted for more than half an hour to forty minutes. Then they ended the "siege" session and began to discuss the next general election strategy.

"This time it's difficult for us to give out free fried chicken and beer to everyone like we did in the past. It's not a matter of money, it's a matter of insufficient resources."

"It's hard to buy so many supplies now even if you have money, so we discussed it and decided we could try spending money directly."

Before the leader of the campaign team could finish speaking, an investor interrupted him, "If we give money directly, will the campaign committee take this matter against us?"

The campaign committee is a temporary committee that is only established during the general election. Its job is to monitor whether the campaign team has acted out of the ordinary.

For example, vote buying.

Directly giving money to voters is a form of vote bribery, which is strictly prohibited.

Once someone is discovered, it is likely to cause a huge turmoil. Even if the final vote is won, the vote will not be counted in the official results due to vote bribery.

The head of the campaign team immediately explained, "The idea is to use shopping vouchers, which is why I am talking about it today."

"We give everyone a 100-yuan shopping voucher, but this shopping voucher can only be used when purchasing goods worth at least 200 yuan or more."

"We can even fix the types of use. The advantage of this is that it is not money and cannot be cashed directly."

“But at the same time it’s more direct, more effective, and more engaging than anything else!”

In fact, there is something else he did not say. Some of these investors own supermarkets, and some of them also deliver goods to supermarkets. This part of the shopping vouchers is actually a multi-layered offset.

It is said that it is a 100 yuan shopping voucher. If these capitalists unite, its actual value may not even be 20 yuan!

Capitalists are obviously very familiar with this, and when they decide to take the sickle out of their employees, they hand them out shopping vouchers.

The capitalist who asked the question nodded with satisfaction and talked with his assistant about how to operate.

Seeing that he had no problem, the person in charge of the campaign team continued, "We will print more shopping coupons this time. If we want to win, we must give them enough benefits."

"Voters are very direct, so in addition to ordinary shopping vouchers, I suggest issuing another type of shopping voucher, a shopping voucher similar to... an option."

"This kind of shopping coupon will have a larger denomination, and there are no conditions for use. It can be two hundred yuan or four hundred yuan, or even more."

"But if you want to use it, there must be a condition, which is to meet its minimum standards for use, which is that the Conservative Party wins the election."

"In order to deal with the campaign committee, these shopping vouchers will not be distributed by us, but by you. Find a reason to distribute them."

This was something people didn't expect. It was obvious that this approach...may be a bit illegal, and some people immediately asked about it and whether it violated the rules of the election.

Although social order continues to collapse and the federal government is gradually losing its role, it still possesses the most basic powers.

"We checked the relevant information and they did not explicitly prevent us from doing this."

"It's like a restaurant owner telling diners that if the candidate he supports wins, everyone will have free meals. This does not involve vote-buying."

With this explanation, everyone immediately understood the method of this operation.

After the meeting, the Conservative candidate and the chairman of the committee chatted alone for a few words, and then rushed to canvass votes.

The chairman of the committee called the party whip and gave him a list of names after he briefly described the Conservative Party's strategy.

"The shopping voucher thing will spread quickly. There is no need to hide it. You can be more careful. It will not affect the overall situation." "These lists, you can give them a little more weight. For example, they are ours." The main funds have been sponsored by investors, or they have a high status among the investor group.”

"In short, you need to make Lynch feel that touching these people will have a deterrent effect on other investors."

"But everything should not be too obvious, and don't make Lynch feel deliberate. He is a very smart person and very observant. If you really don't know what to do, then just give him the list without saying anything."

The whip recorded the names and hung up.

Not long after, he appeared in Lynch's villa.

"What would you like to drink?" Lynch said in a very friendly manner, "Black tea or coffee?"

"If you're interested in wine, I just got a nice bottle of wine in the past few days!"

The party whip did not hesitate for long, "Give me a cup of coffee, preferably stronger."

The little maid immediately went to prepare coffee for him, and Lynch sat opposite him, "How are you doing?"

The whip pursed his lips and looked like he was in a daze for a while before saying, "It's okay. Now the Conservative Party has tended to split. Sometimes I don't know if this is the right thing to do."

These words are all true. He is really sad that the largest party in the federation has become what it is today. Sometimes he even feels that it would be better to be burned in the fire than to do this!

But the persistence of the committee chairman and his determination to sacrifice himself made him bite the bullet and persist.

Lin Qi also felt a little emotional, but not much, just a little.

"No one can be strong all the time, whether it is a person, a country, or a party."

“People grow and reach adulthood, but eventually age and die.”

"The country will experience budding, rebirth, prosperity, and strength, but in the end it will be difficult to decay and be overthrown."

"The same goes for parties."

“The history of the first two hundred years of the Confederation is not so much the history of the Confederation as it is the history of the Conservative Party, which had a firm grip on the Confederation for two hundred years.”

"It's been around much longer than some royal families, dynasties, so now it's someone else's turn."

The party whip couldn't help but ask, "You?"

This remark was actually not very polite, but Lynch did not feel offended. "You can also say that. I will not deny it."

The whip didn't say anything, and seemed to be in a daze. Lynch was very strong, both internally and externally.

It happened that the little maid came in with coffee, which relaxed the atmosphere a little.

The thick coffee has a layer of oil floating on the surface, which is very fragrant and smells like this. You can imagine the mellow and bitter taste without even tasting it.

The party whip picked up the coffee cup and took a sip, then put it down. "They plan to use companies to issue shopping vouchers and a method similar to option vouchers to win over voters."

When it came to business, Lynch straightened his posture and said, "Tell me carefully, what is that option bond?"

Shopping vouchers have always been a good way for capitalists and the federal government to harvest wealth, and the sickle is sharply sharpened. Many people will not feel that they have suffered a loss even if they are cut off.

But Lynch had never heard of option coupons. When he heard what the whip said, he couldn't help laughing, "Wouldn't this violate campaign-related laws and regulations?"

The party whip said matter-of-factly, "I asked about it. These are spontaneous actions of capitalists. They are not illegal, but they will be fined."

That's how the Federation people are. Sometimes they don't even allow anyone to change a single word, but sometimes they seem to muddle along.

Lin Qi thought about it and realized that it was indeed a good idea.

In fact, most ordinary people don't care at all about who becomes the president in the end. What they want is the process, a sense of participation, and the benefits they can get.

Now that the benefits are there, it doesn't matter who they vote for.

The party whip saw Lynch thinking and took another sip of coffee. The coffee was very fragrant and must be expensive.

He took out a piece of paper, put it on the table, and pushed it over. "This is a list of some major investors. I think you may be useful."

Lynch took a look at the list. Some people he knew, some people he didn't know, but he believed he could find all of them.

He put down the list and looked at the party whip, "What do you want?"

"You don't know me very well. I am a person who likes to give to each other. Blindly asking for things cannot make friendship last long, but mutual achievements can."

"Whatever you ask for, you can..."
