1120 Gift in Front of Everyone
A million charity donation is not a small amount of money for the president, but he cannot take it.
If you take it, something will happen.
People are sometimes very insensitive. When they see rich people spending hundreds of thousands or millions in one night for female celebrities or fighting for wealth, they will only curl their lips and greet them kindly with a slightly hostile attitude. Look at these rich people.
But sometimes, they are very sensitive. For example, if a politician engages in disgusting money and power transactions, they will even go on strike and march to protest!
Mr. President is the most watched among all politicians. He must ensure his integrity, so this is a competition without any substantial rewards, except for some certificates and some audio and video materials.
Of course, in addition to these, Lynch will also donate a sum of money to charity foundations in their names to do good deeds.
People like to hear similar news, and this is where the people seem to be very conflicted. They don't like those wealthy people who waste money lavishly on things that are not necessary for life.
But I hope someone can do more good deeds and donate more money.
Strictly speaking, those people have nothing to do with the vast majority of ordinary people, no matter how they spend their money.
But the latter will give them a kind of hope and expectation. They hope that when they are suffering, someone will stand up and donate to them, or someone can help them.
Speaking of which, the president's wife happens to have a charitable foundation in hand, and Lynch can donate the money to her.
As for the tax-free return of charitable donations, Lynch is not responsible for it. He is only responsible for donations and not for the subsequent series of troublesome issues.
These are relatively personal matters. The President's personal accountant will arrange everything for him, so Lynch does not need to worry.
Mr. President may have just won the championship and was in a good mood. He talked about some recent events.
"I heard the first batch of planes has been delivered?"
Mr. President is talking about bombers. World orders should be given to small countries first. This is also the recommendation of the federal government.
There is no need to rush to give it to Gefra, you can just delay it, and there is nothing they can do.
Sometimes politics is so deep that you can’t see through it at a glance and you can’t see the end.
But sometimes politics is very childish, and the purpose of a certain behavior may be to disgust people.
Lynch nodded, "It has been delivered and the other party has accepted it. There are no problems or disputes."
Mr. President nodded, not sure what he was thinking. Then he asked, "Are you sure there is no problem?"
Lynch nodded again, "When it was first produced, it was already eliminated."
"We call it the first generation, and the bomber model we are currently designing has reached the fourth generation. We can easily shoot it down. It does not pose any threat to us."
After the wind tunnel of the institute was built, there would be new breakthroughs in some designs almost every once in a while, a week or two, half a month or a month.
Coupled with the advancement of technology and the experimentation with more composite materials, the institute is actually studying and designing much more than Lynch expressed.
Mr. President has little understanding of technological changes, but he knows that the fourth generation must be better than the first generation, and that is enough.
"This sounds much more comfortable!" Mr. President spoke highly of it. He didn't know why, or maybe he just had a lot of fun playing today and his mind was very active.
"When I was watching TV last night, I heard that the story that happened to you on the ship was going to be adapted into a movie, right?"
"The TV stations have been showing this recently. I can see that people are very interested in your experience!"
Mr. President smiled and talked about things that had nothing to do with politics, just like an ordinary old man, talking about some irrelevant things.
Lynch nodded, "Yes, something happened during this period..."
Along the way, the two of them were like an ordinary young man and an ordinary old man, chatting about this for a while and that for a while.
It was not until the Presidential Palace that Mr. President's mood seemed to gradually calm down.
He stood at the door of the Presidential Palace and shook hands with Lynch again. "I have to thank you, Lynch. I have never been happier than I am today since I became a senator. I have to thank you!"
He was very sincere, and Lynch immediately thought of Mr. Trueman's evaluation of the President.
"He may not be smart, he may lack decision-making, and he may be easily persuaded by others, but these are precisely his advantages..."
In fact, taking these advantages and disadvantages together, it can only be said that Mr. President is an ordinary old man, he is very ordinary.
It was just luck and destiny that sent him to this position!
The above was quickly driven out of Lynch's mind. No top politician became the president of the federal government due to luck.
He definitely has his own special features. Perhaps his advantages and disadvantages are that he does not make people think that he is strongly aggressive, nor does he make people think that he is a "difficult to control" person.
Maybe this is his disguise, he is playing his role faithfully, maybe this is himself, his unique charm.
Anyway...
"It's a great honor, Mr. President, I hope this is a happy day!" Lynch withdrew his hand in time.
Mr. President nodded his head several times to express his affirmation, "Of course, good day."
"So, goodbye, Mr. Lynch?"
"Goodbye, Mr. President!"
When he returned to his car, Lynch no longer continued to speculate on those boundless things.
In the words of some people, he completed another dirty deal. Yes, it was a dirty money and power deal.
It seems like nothing happened, but in fact everything that should happen has already happened.
And the money...has been paid.
People only saw that the president did not put a penny in his pocket, but ignored the tax exemption of more than 1 million that the president received. To a certain extent, he also accepted Lynch's benefits.
But people tend to turn a blind eye to this kind of "bribery". They don't say, "Oh my God, it's another damn shady deal." They don't say that.
Because donations are often related to them, this is the most selfish side of the people.
When they are also likely to be beneficiaries, they will pretend that they cannot see good from bad and cannot distinguish between black and white.
Those with vested interests are always the most sincere, and what’s even more interesting is that they often speak plausibly.
When he returned to the villa, Ms. Tracy was already waiting for him.
Next to Ms. Tracy is the woman who came in second place in the competition. She is also here.
As soon as Lynch entered the room, both women stood up, and the younger woman could be seen standing up as the door opened.
Ms. Tracy waited until she saw Lynch before standing up.
The difference is only a few seconds, but it reflects the identity gap between the two people.
Lynch came over, shook hands with the two of them and sat down at the main seat.
The second woman was very grateful to Lynch. She kept repeating her gratitude and gave Lynch a small gift along the way.
"My husband brought this back when he was on a business trip. It is said to be an antique. I don't know much about these things. I wonder if you will like it."
She placed a very exquisite box on the table, about a foot long and half a foot wide. Lynch opened the box and took a look. It was a gold mask.
The shape is a bit strange and exaggerated, but you can see its specialness at a glance. The sense of abruptness between different cultures is all over this golden mask.
It definitely has a lot of history!
"I like it very much..." He closed the box, handed it to the little maid, and ordered it to be put on the table in the study.
He then looked at Ms. Tracy, and the second woman moved back slightly and closed her mouth.
"Ms. Tracy, how have you been lately?" Lynch asked.
Ms. Tracey smiled and replied, "It's very busy, but very fulfilling. The only thing I'm not used to is that Catherine is not with me now."
"She is a very smart girl and very beautiful. She always thinks about others. I am used to having her by my side, but suddenly she left. I am still a little reluctant to let go."
This belongs to a smart person. She doesn't need to praise Lynch or brag about Lynch, it's meaningless.
On the contrary, talking about Catherine, who is "closer" to her, will have a better effect.
She could tell that the two young men probably hadn't cut off yet, and the way she spoke was very skillful.
Lin Qi smiled and continued to look at her.
Ms. Tracey pulled back a few stray hairs on her temples and said, "I heard that Catherine has started to get into the mood. Is there anything we can help you with?"
"As her former colleague, if you need anything, please tell me!"
Lynch now understood the reason why Ms. Tracy came.
On the one hand, I brought a second lady here to express my gratitude. Before entering politics, I was able to participate in a bowling match with Mr. President and get second place.
In addition to showing that she has people from feminist organizations supporting her, it also shows that there are people at the upper levels of society who can help her.
Not all women who can bowl are qualified to compete with Mr. President and still get second place.
Ordinary people may think... isn't this just a bowling game? Could it have more special meanings?
But politicians don’t think so. They always over-interpret some things and make simplicity more complicated.
This does require the help of Lynch. Without him, Ms. Tracey would not be able to get this woman close to Mr. President.
In addition to this matter, another appeal may be that Ms. Tracy needs Lynch's support and financial support.
It costs a lot of money to elect a governor, and the governor is elected for a two-year term, but the governor can be re-elected indefinitely.
This also indicates that every governor will manage his own territory as much as possible when he is in office.
If you want to pry open their defenses, in addition to needing someone, the most important thing is money!
Lynch is very rich. The newspaper said that he had just completed a batch of foreign military sales, with orders and profits of hundreds of millions and billions, which made people jealous.
Before the little maid came down, the second lady suddenly stood up and said, "The coffee is a little cold. Where is the coffee pot?"
