From a certain perspective, the middle and lower classes of society who should be protected by the state have become the last "bottom line" on certain issues.

Capitalists are shocking to see through the high-level federal government. One thought and one sentence can push whether a bill can be passed. Perhaps they do not have "power" in their hands, but capital is far above power.

On the contrary, capitalists and politicians need to consider the image of themselves in the eyes of the people, and sometimes they have to suppress their terrible faces.

People who should be protected in turn become the last line of defense to protect this country. Sometimes...life, society, and the world are really **** funny!

The day after Lynch and Senator Langdon had dinner, members of the Duncan family lobby found him.

They will lobby every member of the Council as much as possible, which is also the key to their success.

When many political lobbying groups are lobbying, they will only choose to lobby key people, such as the leader of a small group, or some people who can be drawn over. For those who cannot be drawn or are not critical enough, they will Will not lobby.

In fact, the main reason is that the budget is limited. There are hundreds of parliamentarians, each of whom will give 20,000 to 30,000, which means that several million have gone out.

Sometimes it is not easy for the people who promote the proposal to make this money back. They can't do it at a loss and can only do it strategically.

Lobbying requires not only a mouth to speak, but also tangible benefits. If lobbying can be accomplished by relying on a mouth, politicians and capitalists have long been replaced by lawyers.

As soon as Senator Langdon came to his office, someone came to visit him, and he asked the secretary to invite people into his office.

Members of Congress have offices in the Capitol, and they always have some jobs of their own, such as members of a certain committee, which requires them to have an office space so that people can find him during working hours.

At present, Senator Langdon has joined the Federal Environmental Committee. The role of this committee is to protect the environment. It is a committee that can be big and small.

Going bigger, as long as the factory starts, it is tantamount to causing pollution to nature, and this matter is under their control.

At a lower level, as long as the environment is not withered and even the most tenacious plants cannot grow, it means that it is not serious.

So there will always be people who want to use the energy of the committee to do something, and they want to do something, first of all, the councillors have to speak.

Going to the parliament building to visit these members is obviously the easiest way.

In order to avoid being harassed all the time, the secretary chosen by the parliamentarians is very discerning. They know who to let in and who should not to let in.

"Hello, Senator Langdon, I am..." The person who came in was in his forties and looked very energetic. He was dressed in a decent dress and carrying a briefcase in his hand. He looked very experienced.

If he was a government worker, Langdon believed it, but he lacked the laziness of government workers.

When Congressman Langdon was looking at his business card, the forty-something middle-aged man smiled and talked about his identity, "Today, on behalf of the Duncan family, I will talk to you about our proposal."

Arrogant!

Yes, Senator Langdon put down the business card in his hand, and an arrogant atmosphere hit his face, making his hair a little messy.

He has seen lobbying groups.

Last year, an old city in the north planned to level tens of thousands of acres of natural forest because of the need for urban development. Such a big thing must be impossible to do in the local area. After the report level by level, the state government will report to the Congress for a final ruling.

Before the vote, a lobbying group in that place appeared. They used a lot of data and evidence to illustrate the necessity of forestry and city construction for local economic development.

It was not until the end that they slightly expressed their hope that Senator Langdon could consider this issue for the local economy that desperately needs to develop, and the people anxiously waiting for jobs to consider, and then presented some local specialties-from the bottom of society. Mind.

Sometimes it is really difficult to use the crime of duty crime to look at the behavior of members of parliament. They can unscrupulously cover up their crimes for criminal acts and criminals, and they can also receive all kinds of "profits" without worrying about the investigation. The gaze of the bureau.

In the end, Senator Langdon reluctantly saw that the people at the bottom of the society were really willing, and agreed to the other party's request, and voted in favor of this matter.

And he spent a small amount of money to become a shareholder of a small company that knew it was irregular at first glance. This small company was suddenly acquired by a big company. Senator Langdon sold his shares and made a huge profit.

You have to say that he is not illegal. In fact, everyone knows that this thing is really illegal. At least there is enough evidence to prove that he agreed to this proposal because he collected money. There is a difference between the two things. Related, motivated, he should be guilty.

But if you really want to say that he is breaking the law, first of all, he does not have a clear concept of position. He is only a member of the Environmental Committee. His job is to raise his hand or not, and he is not a key person at the same time.

Based on the fact that eighteen people voted and one person agrees or disapproves, it has no effect on the overall situation. It has no effect in promoting the development of the incident, and pure duty crimes cannot be mentioned.

In addition, he has just bought a small company and was acquired by a premium that may be several hundred or several thousand times. That is because he has a good vision and cannot prove that this matter is an extension of other events.

So he collected the money and nothing happened. Members did it all.

But no matter how "overflight" everyone does, they are actually kept within a certain range. This is like publishing photos of themselves in magazines and newspapers and asking for help from well-wishers, but never thinking that they are responding. Girls.

They can do it, but they will never admit it.

All lobbying groups will not admit that they have influenced the decisions of others. Their job is to provide more information and give more choices.

All the parliamentarians will not admit that they are the instrumentalists with money, and their choice of this or that decision is entirely their own subjective judgment.

This gentleman in the Duncan family is different. He doesn't conceal his purpose of coming here at all. When he speaks, he has an aura of "You must be persuaded by me". This feeling is actually very uncomfortable.

Congressman Langdon looked at him, and the middle-aged man in his forties smiled slightly, as if he didn't care about the emotions of a congressman at all.

"Have you seen our proposal?" When Senator Langdon didn't invite him to sit down, this gentleman pulled out a chair and sat opposite him with his legs cocked.

He put his portable briefcase on the table, opened the locks on both ends with two snaps, and took out a stack of documents.

Senator Langdon was very unhappy in his heart, and it was unbearable to offend him from someone he hadn't even heard of.

This is how people are. If Mr. Geruno is doing this to him at this moment, or is more vicious and humiliating, he will think it's okay.

He couldn't help being offended by a small character who was not well-known.

Unfortunately, I couldn't help but bear it, because this guy represented the Duncan family, the most terrifying family known to the Federation, not one of them.

He nodded unhappily, "I've seen it..."

The middle-aged man sitting across from him nodded with satisfaction, "Then you are not able to understand some of the problem descriptions in this proposal, or if there are some areas that you think are still vague, I can help you explain."

The middle-aged man looked up at Senator Langdon with a confident smile on his face.

If it is a senator, then it will be a former senator, a former governor or even a former president who will go to them.

The place to talk to them about this matter will not be in the Capitol, it should be in a golf course, an opera house, a cruise ship, or a private beach, private island, etc.

The only one in front of us is a member of the House of Representatives. From the perspective of the Conservative Party or the Progressive Party, it only takes one election or a small accident to change a member of the House of Representatives. Some people can be screened out by adjusting the congressional strategy.

Of course, this has a prerequisite, that is, there are enough interests to support them in doing so.

Speaker Langdon shook his head, "I have nothing unclear."

The middle-aged man looked at him twice, and the smile on his face looked a little...not to my liking.

He picked up another business card, put it on the table and pushed it over:

"Congressman Langdon, when I came, I noticed that you were a member of the Environmental Committee, did you?" He fiddled with the name tag on Langdon's desk, and under his name the words "Member of the Environmental Committee" were written impressively.

Senator Langdon nodded, and he said again, "It just so happens that we have a company that is a little confused when facing the federal environmental policy. Maybe you can help us..."

Senator Langdon didn't even say yes or no, the middle-aged people began to remind him that it is good to promote this proposal.

There is no doubt that this is a consulting service, and there will be a large amount of income.

Look, this income is completely legal, circumventing all the problems ~lightnovelpub.net~ and there is no need for him to do anything-there is no connection between consulting on environmental pollution issues and promoting the Overseas Security Act, he You can take the money and pay taxes calmly, and sign a check to use it when you need it.

People don't associate these two things together, except for themselves.

For each person's different status and background, they have formulated corresponding lobbying strategies.

Looking at Senator Langdon, he seemed to hesitate. The middle-aged man said kindly, "You know, Mr. Geruno is very concerned about the changes in the natural environment. We plan to set up a foundation..."

Langdon didn't hesitate more. He put away the business card on the table. "I have seen the proposal. It is very reasonable. If Congress votes on this proposal, I will definitely approve it!"

The middle-aged man didn’t need to say the rest. He stood up and stretched out his hand, shaking hands with Senator Langdon, "Happy cooperation!"
