"Sorry, I'm so hungry!"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Senator Langdon picked up the napkin and wiped his hands, so that the oil stains on his lips were stained, and he put the napkin next to him.

"What project, what about?"

Lynch handed a cigarette to Senator Langdon. The two heads came together and lit a fire. He said, while smoking out, "The Military Appropriation Committee, the Ministry of Defense has set up a new budget of 30 million yuan. A little more, but the money will not go to the Ministry of National Defense’s own account, it must be appropriated by Congress."

Sounds a bit fucked?

This is actually quite normal.

Do the Ministry of Defense and the military have money?

The answer is yes, and there are many, so much that they don't actually know how to spend the money at the end of the year.

It's only February, and it can be said that this year has just begun. Part of the budget made last year has been approved this year, and a large amount of military expenditure will be allocated in the future.

In addition, a large number of active-duty soldiers have just been sent away to retire them, but the budget seems to have forgotten this matter, and it is still calculated on the basis of the scale before the major disarmament.

But even if the military and the Ministry of Defense have so much money that they don’t know how to spend, they will not use their money to pay for orders outside the budget.

For example, if this order of Lynch is not in the budget made last year, then a process needs to be revisited. When the military committee thinks that the money needs to be spent, they will pay Lynch.

After all, the military "has no money."

To tell a joke, the general of the Ministry of National Defense said that every penny of the Ministry of National Defense and the military has been paid, and the poor soldiers almost cannot afford bread.

Well, they didn’t lie. They ate beef and mutton until they felt sick. It is said that the pasture they purchased was the pasture run by the military themselves.

Some things are actually known to everyone, but knowing is knowing, and doing it is another matter.

It is impossible for members of Congress to offend the military for the country and taxpayers' money. The Ministry of National Defense is the Ministry of National Defense, and the military is the military. Sometimes the two agencies are integrated, but more often they are separate.

These committees in Congress related to the budget and appropriations will not approve any application. Appropriate rejection will help improve their image in the minds of the public and make them look like taxpayers and the last guardian of tax payments. God.

At the same time, it also helps to improve their status in Congress and even the entire federal political arena. You must know that the main members of those powerful committees are almost all senators.

Some people say that Congress is like a labyrinth. People who don't know what's going on here just plunge into it, let alone find a way out, and may not even have a chance to exit.

But if you understand the situation, Congress is your home, and the congressmen are brothers and sisters. There is nothing that cannot be discussed.

"It has something to do with the Department of Defense." Senator Langdon's expression became a little more serious. The full name of the Military Appropriation Committee is the "Federal Military Planning and Equipment Appropriation Committee."

This committee and the "Federal Military Budget Review Committee" firmly control how much money the military can take from Congress each year.

One is responsible for the budget, and the other is allocated according to the budget. It can be done in a committee, but they are separated for the so-called "reduction of malpractices". Sometimes people have to spend twice on the same thing.

The ones who really want to control can't be controlled, but those who shouldn't be controlled have to run back and forth. This is the sweet freedom and justice.

He thought for a while, "Military Appropriation Committee, the people here have a big appetite, you know, those military-industrial groups who run there every year"

Like some shipping companies that produce battleships, just taking a "small boat" is a business worth tens of millions in two to three years.

The profit here is amazing, and they give the money very happily.

There are also general military equipment group companies. No matter how the Federation reduces the number of military personnel in service, there are hundreds of thousands. Everyone changes two sets of new clothes, two pairs of leather boots, one belt, one glove, and some other things.

These alone can bring tens of millions of orders every year, not to mention the large companies that produce weapons and ammunition. A military exercise is a loss of millions of dollars. These people have never hesitated to send money to Congress.

Lynch had already prepared. He held the cigarette and thought for two or three seconds, "How much do I need for this order to feed them?"

Senator Langdon shook his head, as if he felt a little too much. "Three to five million is just a start. It's hard to say how to do it."

He folded his hands into fists and pressed his elbows on the edge of the table. "You have no advantage in this aspect. They may bite you badly. You have to be mentally prepared."

"It won't make it too ugly." Lynch laughed twice, "Anyway, please leave it to you. If you have any specific things, call me directly. I will stay here for the time being. ."

He said that he took out a promissory note from the Jinhui Bank from the bag he carried, put it in a special folder and handed it over.

"Five million, I will give you some extra rewards after it's done."

Seeing the folder that Lynch pushed over, Senator Langdon tore his neckline and suddenly became hot.

Five million, this is not a small number, it is now in the file bag in front of you.

A promissory note has a very convenient nature, that is, there is no need to verify any information, as long as the promissory note is verified to be authentic, then it can be settled at any bank immediately.

They will not ask the holder’s name, identity, where the promissory note was obtained from, and what the money is to be used for. They will only exchange the money to the holder of the promissory note.

As one of the parties involved, Lynch cannot have direct interest in dealings with these senators and congressmen. This kind of purely straightforward relationship is forbidden.

This process must be completed by a third party or even more parties. This is another industry of Buppen with federal characteristics, an industry that is not illegal but not legal, and it is not entirely a money laundering industry.

It does not have any precise name, but every year a large amount of money flows into Bupen's countless private equity foundations through these company changes.

On a certain dividend day, it enters the account of a certain big man. These big people don't even need to pay a penny for the money. Financial investment income does not need to pay taxes!

Death and taxes are inevitable?

That's because you haven't really been free yet!

The meal was eaten quickly, and Senator Langdon did not leave immediately after Lynch left, but continued to enjoy the delicious food.

Some time ago, he went to the mountains in the west to check for environmental problems. The local food was very good. He thought he would miss the city because of the prosperity, but he didn't expect that the first time he wanted to return to the city was because of the food.

Chewing on veal steaks worth dozens of dollars, he inadvertently swallowed a worker's salary for half a month.

After taking a sip of wine, the other half of his salary was gone.

He sat in a chair, thinking about what to do next.

I have to say that investing in Lynch is a step too right. A congressman must have money if he wants to open his network in Congress.

It sounds unbelievable, but this is precisely the essence of Congress. As long as you have money and are willing to spend it, someone will be willing to make friends with you.

During this period of time, Senator Langdon had already experienced this firsthand, and the role of money was truly magnified infinitely.

You can not give face to a congressman, but you can't help but give face to a senator who has come to persuade you to change your mind.

If you can reject a friendly request from a senator, can you reject a request from a former governor, or even a request from a former president or vice president?

No, no, it's impossible, there are those big figures in the party.

Wanting to be friends with them is actually very simple, just send them money.

Sometimes members of Congress themselves don't know why Congress became like this, but soon their reflections on the status quo of Congress were forgotten in the flying of banknotes and checks that exude the fragrance of special inks.

The next day, Senator Langdon started to take action. After removing the handling fee of RMB 5 million, there is still more than RMB 4.3 million left~lightnovelpub.net~ This money can legally flow into any foundation anytime, anywhere. .

All he has to do now is to take the money and talk to the senators.

It is a good choice to borrow Lynch’s money to open up your personal connections.

Of course, he will always be Lynch's firm friend, if he can always be rich.

For several days, there was no good news from Congress, but Lynch got in touch with the Mayor of Buppen.

This is also no way. No matter whether Congress can pass the money or not, things will always be sold once they are researched out.

If the military doesn't buy it, they sell it to the rich.

If you don't want the rich, then create a local conflict, and someone will always pay for these planes!

It is precisely because of the need to start mass production, more than a dozen assembly lines have already placed orders, and workers will soon be recruited.

There is an assembly line federation that produces engines and aircraft fuselages. They are all mature commodities and can be used after simple debugging.

Work can be officially started within one month.

Thousands of jobs are enough for the mayor to personally meet a stranger, let alone a famous person like Lynch.

Why do rich people always know big people?

Because their random move can change certain patterns in some places and affect a large number of people.

Whether it is a good influence or a bad influence, local politicians must treat it positively.

In the cozy and warm room, the mayor of Buppen, the mayor's secretary and his staff all smiled and chatted with Lynch.

I didn't feel that "thousands of jobs" is a "trivial thing". Their enthusiastic attitude will always make people subconsciously ignore other places. They are not such faces!
