Chapter 151: Donations and food rolls

Mark's participation in Interstellar Trading Corporation on behalf of the mayor may be difficult to understand in the eyes of some ordinary people, but in fact this is normal, because there are still some ordinary people that may not even hear of things happening.

   Someone joked that the last second of every general election of the Baylor Federation is the moment when a new consortium was born. The Baylor Federation has a history of more than 300 years since its founding and has welcomed 52 presidents in total.

  Why is fifty-two? Because some presidents accidentally fell downstairs and died of serious injuries, or were blown into the sea by a gust of wind while fishing on the beach and disappeared without a trace, or...

   In short, there are always some people who are not so lucky, but this is normal. This is life, right?

   Except for these somewhat unlucky presidents, there is basically a consortium behind every other president, such as the more familiar "Jerry & Days" of the Federation, a typical consortium born out of a president.

This consortium has supported three politicians on their glorious moments in the federal history. It is precisely because they have supported three presidents that "Jerry & Days" has always been there for more than a hundred years. No trouble.

  No one knows when they will elect a new president for the federation, which is also the fourth president of their group.

   Oh, by the way, these three presidents are the son of the founder of "Jerry & Days", the grandson of his son, and the son of his son's grandson. They are a family!

  Political forces and capital forces are sometimes like fire and water, but sometimes they do not distinguish each other. This is the Baylor Federation, a country of freedom and sweetness!

In this way, the mayor’s participation in Interstellar Trading has become less frightening, and his nephew Mark did it. Lynch believes that if something goes wrong, Mark will immediately stand up and apologize to the society. .

  Because he did these terrible things without telling his uncle, his uncle, Mr. Mayor, will never easily forgive anyone who violates the law and the rules, even if this person is his nephew.

If these terrible things do not happen, and if the Interstellar Trading Company can continue to be profitable in a relatively suitable way, perhaps in the future Lynch and his company will also become part of a certain consortium. Of course, the mayor cannot be the president. The core surrounding is his superior or superior.

   At this time, Lynch has already passed that cynical age. He doesn't feel that he is offended, but instead feels that this is a good thing. After Mark became a shareholder, there are things that are not easy to do. You can let Mark do it.

  No one is more suitable for this role than him. Many people think that Mark represents the mayor. Even if you have trouble, you must solve it yourself. You can't trouble Mark because trouble Mark is equal to trouble the Mayor, but Lynch doesn't think so.

   Everyone knows that when Mark represents the mayor, Mark’s appearance means the mayor’s attitude. He doesn’t even say anything, just stand by his side!

Ignore this too small thing to mention, Lynch met with the mayor the next day. This is a charity party. Strictly speaking, it is true. The local celebrities in Sabine are basically All arrived at the scene.

There are not too many people, a few hundred people. The upper circle of a city with a population of 800,000 can only accommodate these hundreds of people, and there are about half to one-third of them, just because their male or female partners have a chance. Entering this hall, they themselves do not have this kind of strength, which will make the actual number of people in the upper circle become even smaller.

Lynch sat a little back. His age, his career, and his wealth weren’t enough to make him reach the eye-catching position in the middle of the first row, but it’s good to sit at the back, at least The little movements of the well-dressed ladies and gentlemen in front can be seen by him.

   The theme of this charity party tonight is to help some unemployed people through the current difficulties through donations. The unemployment rate in Sabine has reached a terrible figure of 16%, and some people have starved to death.

   This is not a very good sign. The city hall, or the mayor, used his own energy to suppress the news, but he also realized that the situation has really reached the time when it is necessary to start mobilizing political forces.

   In fact, people starve to death every year. It’s normal for homeless people on the street to die from heat in summer and freeze to death in winter.

   A few years ago, homeless people attacked wild dogs, but they lost to wild dogs but were eaten by wild dogs. It also triggered a short-lived heated discussion in society. After the heated discussion, people no longer paid attention to this group.

Many people hold the same view when interviewing reporters. Homeless people have hands and feet. They can work to support themselves. Even if they are scavengers, they can live well enough. But they choose to beg, so they don’t. J.

   It was not a homeless man who starved to death this time, but an unemployed old man living alone.

   Said that he is old, but he is actually not too old. He is only in his fifties and he is not yet ready to retire.

   He originally had a job, but he was unemployed four months ago. He wanted to work but couldn't find a job. After his savings ran out, he starved to death in his bed.

   If it weren't for his neighbors being affected by the stench, it might take a long time to discover the matter, so the mayor also realized that the matter could not be delayed any longer and had to come up with some measures.

   At this time, the mayor stood on the presiding stage. He briefly said the news, with a heavy tone. In fact, the celebrities sitting below were also shocked. Some women even left sad tears.

   Some people are indeed shocked, but some people are not really sad.

   In fact, it is difficult for these people to imagine that an ordinary person will really starve to death. The current situation is indeed not as good as in previous years, but is it still so bad?

   But this is the fact. Many people are facing hunger and hardship, and they need people’s help.

In the Baylor Federation, it is not uncommon for them to face similar situations in the past three hundred years. They have already had a set of effective solutions to solve these problems, at least for the time being, that is to distribute food. Rolls and supply rolls.

   In the beginning, people would directly help these people with money, but they soon discovered that someone had come to claim it. Some people took the money for gambling or squandered, and then applied again, so the money relief became food coupons and supply coupons.

   The property donated by celebrities will be used to buy a large amount of food and some necessities, and then those families in need can receive this subsidy.

   It can't make them rich, but at least it can keep them from starving to death. This is the limit that the Baylor Federation can do at present. Try not to let more people starve to death.

  The generous donations of every rich person are not really how generous they are, but it is a charity party, all donations will be "returned" to every benevolent donor in the form of tax deductions.

At least it is a full deduction, and there may be excess deductions, so this is not a disadvantage, and it may even make a little money. This is also the reason why the top rich are willing to do charity. They need to pay too much tax. If you can pay a little less, it is a victory.

   But because the tax deduction for charitable donations is also capped, it is not the rich people who decide how to arrange it. Before they attend the charity dinner, their personal accountant will tell them how much is the most appropriate donation.

   Everyone seemed to love these people from the bottom of their hearts. People generously donated their money. Lynch also donated 100,000 yuan. This made many people look at this young, shameless boy.

Perhaps it was Lynch’s performance that made him look like a "trust". Soon some people initiated the second round of donations. They raised all donations from several thousand or tens of thousands to at least three to fifty thousand, and as many as one hundred thousand. At the point of 200,000, they are a little unpredictable, whether this is what the mayor meant.

   But as long as there is little possibility, they can't take risks.

By the end of the charity gala, the mayor had raised nearly 15 million in donations. I have to say that this has largely solved part of the current problems. In the last speech of the mayor, the entire city of Sabine More than 200,000 people who are suffering from hunger will fill their stomachs because of everyone's kindness and kindness.

After the meeting was over, the mayor was ready to leave. He has other things to come. During this time, the problems in the city made him feel devastated. Even if Mark did an absolutely lucrative business, he did not have too many smiles on his face. .

   Money can only satisfy material needs, but what he yearns for is power.

   But he still took half a minute to give Lynch, he arranged Lynch at the end, "I heard Mark said he likes you very much?"

   The two shook hands~lightnovelpub.net~ while talking, other people couldn't come by. This is the etiquette in social situations.

Lynch nodded, "I also like Mark very much. He is a great young man..." He didn't seem to finish his words. This made the mayor a little puzzled and urged him to say something as soon as possible. There is also a small closed-door meeting to be held.

   Lynch said those things that were not said later, "Is it too late for me to set up a food factory?"

The mayor froze for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing. He thought Lynch would tell something about Mark or the deal last night. He didn't expect him to think about the 15 million in his hand. "Benefits."

A young man with very unique and special vision and ideas. The mayor affirmed this idea again, but he shook his head, "Mark certainly didn't tell you, he already has a food factory...", if he points out Said, "I am very optimistic about you, you will become good friends!"

   Lynch curled his lips, "That's really a sad thing. As for me and Mark...", he smiled, "I also believe that we can become good friends."

The mayor patted his hand and said no more. He let go. This disappointed some people who had no chance to talk to the mayor at night and wanted to get together, but they soon began to look at Lynch. He What is the relationship with the mayor? Why does the mayor leave the last time to him?

  Some people began to try to get in touch with Lynch, but Lynch turned around and joined the reception after the charity party.
