After spending some time reading the entire proposal, Lynch looked at Senator Langdon, "Do you think it has a chance to pass?"

Langdon's sitting posture is very relaxed. In fact, only after reaching this position will he understand how happy it is to be a councillor.

He doesn’t need to be responsible for hundreds of people to vote for any one vote.

If this cannot be proved, then no matter how he chooses or casts, he will not bear the slightest responsibility.

The money that should be earned will not be less, and the responsibility will not be much.

If you take the initiative to go to the place, or hold the important status of multiple committee members, you can also say that you have a lot of power. At least committee members like the "Budget Committee" and "Appropriation Committee" are worth a lot of each vote in their hands. money

Not only is the ticket worth money in his hand, but he also has a lot of power in the local area.

It's like he used to be a member of the "Environmental Committee" to investigate pollution problems locally. Everyone from the company to the city hall is surrounding him.

Because with just one sentence and one attitude, local enterprises will face the fate of suspension of production investigations.

When the time comes, local governments cannot collect taxes, people lose their jobs, and the whole society will be plunged into chaos.

If you want to prevent this from happening, you must "take care" of Senator Langdon, at least so that he can't find anything wrong.

Therefore, the job of a parliamentarian is a profession that can take all kinds of legal money, has a little power, has a considerable status, and does not need to be responsible for the content of its own work.

Just like now, Lynch asked him if he had a chance to pass the proposal.

If Senator Langdon was still the mayor, he would answer quite cautiously, but now he is a Senator, he nodded casually.

The reason that prompted him to nod was not because he had seen the proposal, nor how well he understood the things in the proposal, it was just because

"You know, the Duncan family lobby is the most famous in Buppen, and Congress can hardly stop these people."

If you have not heard of the lobbying groups of the Duncan family in the federal government, it is definitely just a small role.

They have the most professional team of lawyers in charge of various emergencies, and then a group of "former senators," "former governors," "former vice presidents," and other high-ranking figures in the federal government personally come forward to help them lobby.

As long as these people are dispatched, almost no one can resist.

So from the beginning, Langdon had not considered whether this proposal could be passed, he only wondered whether he should be a little reserved.

After all, he has just become a member of Congress, and he has not yet raised his face to the level of those old members. He has really made this sacred job as simple as "getting money to do things."

He still wants a little bit of skin, and sometimes he has to face his conscience that he doesn't actually have for a long time.

"Yeah, the Duncan family."

Lynch looked at the high-end carpet under his feet and fell into contemplation. Some people described the senior leaders of the federation like this. They are 5% of the people who own 95% of the wealth of the federation.

When this sentence was first published, it was indeed very shocking. People also organized large-scale demonstrations and strikes to fight against the control of the country by capitalists and politicians.

But it was of no use. The workers' union was full of oil on both sides, and finally pressed the matter down.

In their words, rich people are not so rich the first day, will there be any changes after the report and before the report?

Not at all, and the group of workers is not monolithic. If the factory raises its welfare a little bit, or pays an extra one dollar salary, the workers immediately return to work on the assembly line, and the turmoil is quickly over.

Since then, no matter how rich a certain capitalist is exposed by the media, it is difficult to arouse common emotional resonance among people. They have always been rich anyway, and they have always been like this.

How much money a rich man has, what kind of luxurious life he leads, and what kind of happiness he enjoys, that is not news.

Only when a rich man becomes a pauper is news and arouses strong curiosity.

But there is actually a more detailed problem here

Among the five percent of people’s mouths, this is actually a very large number, and there are also millions of people.

Just among the millions of people who hold 95% of the country’s wealth, there are another 0.5% of the people who hold the country’s 95% of the country’s wealth. A dozen.

The Duncan family members recognized by them are about a thousand people, and they hold about 10% of the wealth of the Confederation. This is the real rich and enemy country, and it is truly amazing.

So when the Duncan family decided to push the bill to pass in Congress, no one thought about blocking it.

Because no one, including Mr. President, can stop it.

Put hope on the loyalty of members of Congress to the country

It's better to find a girl who just came out to exchange money with dignity and persuade her to wake up and go home and find a proper job.

But deputies, don't think about how good they can be.

Members only talk about who gives more and who gives less. As for the others, they don't care at all.

Senator Langdon looked at Lynch, the streamer in his eyes turned slightly, "Do you have anything else to do at night?"

Lynch shook his head, "You have something"

Senator Langdon laughed, "It's nothing, it's better to eat together at night, my wife is not at home", he explained a little bit.

His wife is not accustomed to the pace of life in Buppen. Everyone seems to be chasing something in a hurry. It is difficult for the lady who is used to living in the slow-paced rural city of Sabine to adapt to the life in the city.

So Senator Langdon bought a small farm on the outskirts of Buppen, where his wife lives with his daughter's family.

Since he became a member of Congress, his daughter's family also quit their original jobs to help Congressman Langdon handle some of the "trivial matters" in life.

So most of the time Senator Langdon lived alone in the city, and would not go to the farm until the weekend, or they would come together.

This kind of life is very common among parliamentarians. What people need is that they still maintain family relationships and the harmony between family members. People don't want to look at it, and it is impossible to watch these people get tired of each other every day.

People, regardless of their social status, are after all superficial creatures.

Lynch nodded, "I have nothing to do tonight, it's totally okay."

"Can I find two more people?" Senator Langdon said with a discussion. "They are friends I just met. You know, this place is very strange to me. Making some friends can help me better. Get into the life here faster."

Lin Qi moved slightly, "No problem."

At 7:10 in the evening, the chef specially found from the hotel had already prepared a sumptuous dinner.

For many ordinary people, they can only enjoy the authentic restaurant flavor by going to the restaurant, but for people with money and power, as long as a phone call, the chef of the restaurant will bring all the fresh ingredients to the home to prepare them for them. A sumptuous family dinner.

Just a phone call

The cook didn't leave immediately after doing this, and maybe the guests who came later would ask for it, and he could help to add more food or something.

It is an honor for the cook and restaurant to serve members of Congress.

At about 7:15, the "friend" that Senator Langdon called finally arrived.

For the federal people, seven o’clock is almost exactly the time after dinner. The federal people’s working hours are at least six o’clock in the afternoon. Many factories put it at seven o’clock.

The federal government's afternoon get off work hours are also six o'clock exactly, not earlier.

It was 6:20 in the first two years. Later, they felt that the 20 minutes were meaningless, so they reduced it to 6 o'clock.

For this reason, the federal government has also held more than a dozen hearings and confirmed the fact that leaving get off work early is not a waste of taxpayers' money, and people did not march or go on strike.

Eating at 7 o'clock in the evening is the most normal time for the federal people. It doesn't feel late at all. Some people even get used to eating around 8 o'clock in the evening.

The two congressmen who came brought gifts. It was very interesting that one of them brought a bottle of wine, and the other brought a small box of pure color.

"Langdon, and Mr. Lynch"

The two congressmen looked very educated, in their fifties, and dressed in very decent clothes.

Everyone behaved like a real gentleman~lightnovelpub.net~ After they took off their clothes, they did not forget to say thank you to the maid.

"I heard Langdon say that you are here, so I can't wait to come." Senator A's slightly embarrassing flattery was actually not so incomprehensible.

In this capital-first country, the capitalists are the real masters of this country. Lynch, a representative of the new generation of capitalists with both strength and potential, will also participate in this small gathering today. How could they miss this opportunity?

Even if it's just a conversation with Lynch and an exchange of business cards, there may be some place to ask or be asked by him in the future.

Member b also smiled and jokingly said, "Tomorrow we will have a new conversation."

This belongs to a person who is a little bit flattering, and doesn't make a sound.

The four of them were sitting at the table, and the two councilors invited by Langdon were very satisfied with everything here, mainly Lynch here.

And Lynch also showed considerable kindness. As soon as he came, he had a cordial conversation with the two councillors. Instead, it was councillor Langdon who seemed to be left out in the cold.

But everyone knows that he has not been left out, because he played a very important role, he is the bridge between Lynch and Congress.

Until there is no new person who can replace him to gain Lynch's trust, his identity will not be shaken.

In Congress, there are not all people who can be very comfortable with everything. There will always be relatively marginal people. What Lynch lacks most now is his influence in Congress.

Apart from Senator Langdon, he has no particularly close friends.

The military committees are also limited to one cooperative relationship, and more of them are military personnel running around.

This time Mr. Geruno’s promotion of the proposal gave Lynch a great inspiration. He wants to start building up his influence in Congress.
