1630 Complex Relationship
Every year, Severella's birthday is one of the most exciting times in federal media.
Because on this day, they can let everyone in the Federation understand the true meaning of the word "princess"!
From ancient imperial gold coins that are inconspicuous but worth hundreds of thousands, to various modern expensive gifts, to company shares, bonds...
There is even a TV station that has a special program called "Luxury Holidays", which reports on how young people from various famous families spend their birthdays and holidays.
They will calculate the price of each item, or calculate the total expenses of a holiday for those young people.
Then let the people realize that an ordinary family will not be able to earn the gifts these people receive in one day in a few lifetimes, making class differences clearly visible in front of people.
Later, this program was sued in court for infringing on personal privacy...
In this show, what people are most curious about are the gifts that don’t look like much, as well as the price and story of each one.
If the show hadn't been shut down, they would have been curious about what was in Lynch's key and how much it was worth.
"I noticed that you haven't bought a yacht yet."
Lynch nodded, what the former president said was true.
He didn't buy it before because at that time every penny of his money was useful, and he couldn't spend too much useless money to buy luxury goods like yachts.
Now, all kinds of federal service companies are available. Not to mention yachts, even cruise ships, one can be transferred to him at any time as long as he wants it.
This also makes his need for yachts less strong.
Moreover, the maintenance of yachts is actually more troublesome than imagined, from all aspects of maintenance of the yacht itself, to the berth, to the management company of the marina...
Lynch didn't have such an urgent need, so he didn't buy it.
The words of the former president immediately reminded people of something.
He raised his head slightly, with a kind smile on his face, "I have a yacht, an old yacht. I'm old, and now my joints hurt just by being near the seaside."
"So it has no use in my hands anymore. Forgive me first. It's not new, but I still want to give it to you. I hope you can accept it."
The former president's approach is actually very appropriate. First of all, the yacht is not new, so people will ignore the issue of its actual value.
In people's eyes, second-hand yachts range from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
When most people value this kind of thing, they don't value it so high. They only think that the yacht is worth tens of thousands of dollars.
Tens of thousands of dollars, for the bottom class of the federation who now have at least three hundred and forty dollars, this number does not seem so far away!
Yes, it's only tens of thousands of dollars. Even if these people can't even afford a few thousand dollars, they won't think that tens of thousands of dollars is anything special.
Second-hand, less exaggerated gifts are indeed less noticeable when given.
Plus it’s still the same as before.
This is safer than sending something new and expensive. At least from the public's point of view, this is acceptable to them, if they can know it.
Only the former president himself knows how long ago this yacht was bought and what is on it.
Lynch expressed his joy and then accepted the gift.
Then there are the capitalists.
Capitalists are less reserved when it comes to gifting things, and most of them give away shares. This is also the norm for capitalists to give gifts.
Don’t think that these capitalists are giving away shares just to curry favor or to feel pain, they are not at all!
As soon as they leave this manor, they will immediately tell the financial market that one of their companies has been favored by Mr. Lynch. He is very optimistic about his company and already holds shares, and he intends to continue to increase his shareholdings.
The transferred shares can bring him more wealth in an instant, and Lynch will then privately resell the shares to these people at a certain premium according to the gift agreement.
In addition, art, jewelry, customized luxury cars, and even some luxury brands took the initiative to send some birthday gifts.
Some new luxury cars were parked in a row outside the manor.
They were all sent for free by the manufacturer when they heard that Lynch was celebrating his birthday today.
till the end……
The short Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee also took out a small box, smaller than the previous president, and gave it to Lynch.
"It's a little thing. In fact, I shouldn't do this, but after thinking about it, I really don't know what to give you."
"So I took a trick, I hope you don't mind."
Lynch, and more people's eyes were focused on this smaller box, and then Lynch tore open its outer packaging, revealing a jewelry box, which seemed to be... used to store rings.
Some people have realized what is inside, and their breathing has become faster.
And there are many people who are curious about what's inside and want to inquire.
Those who knew it never mentioned it.
People who don’t know are also confused.
Lynch opened it and looked at it, a very simple ring.
There weren't any gems on it, and it wasn't gold or silver. It looked like a rusty, poorly maintained copper ring.
But he immediately put it on his hand and smiled, "I like this gift very much..."
The most important part of the birthday, opening gifts, was over, and Lynch and Catherine also temporarily left the lawn.
They need to go back and change their clothes, from more formal attire to dinner attire. This is not to force them to do anything, but to be polite and respectful.
While changing clothes, Catherine was a little curious, "Is there anything special about that ring?"
Lynch took off the ring and threw it away, which shocked Catherine!
You must know that the gifts given by people overnight have made Catherine numb and numb, but none of the gifts aroused Lynch's interest, except this ring.
This shows that it is different from other gifts. It can even be said that it is the real and only gift worthy of Lynch's attention!
Throwing such a valuable thing over directly...Katherine was afraid that she wouldn't catch it.
Fortunately, she was still young, so she caught the ring successfully, then rolled her eyes at Lynch, and then looked at the ring in her hand carefully.
There's nothing special about it, it's just so simple and plain.
There are some inconspicuous patterns, and there is a number inside the ring, but other than that, there is nothing else representative.
"What's this?"
She handed the ring back to Lynch and asked casually.
Lynch put the ring back on and said with a smile, "This is a key, it can open the door to this world!"
Yes, Lynch's final review passed, and he became an official member of the Eternal Life. From today on, he needs to fulfill his obligations as a member of the Eternal Life and also enjoy the rights it brings.
Until this moment, Lynch finally truly entered the top society of the Federation.
A closed, small, but a place that everyone yearns for!
When he returned to the lawn, the atmosphere was much more lively. Lynch went directly to the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee and thanked him.
Although no one within Yongsheng opposed Lynch's application, no one agreed so strongly.
He actually did one thing for the entire eternal life organization, which was to provide an unknown thing.
It is really not possible to join in eternal life just by doing this little thing.
But if someone wants to interfere, things will become less complicated.
This is not the kindness of the short old man in front of him, this is actually an exchange of interests.
The little old man helped Lynch get his identity recognized in advance, and Lynch needed to support the little old man's successor in the party's work.
In the Federation, politics cannot be separated from capitalists. They need Lynch's wealth and influence, and everyone gets what they need.
As for why you are so anxious...
Each has his or her own reasons.
The Progressive Party Committee Chairman's "time" is running out. He must pave the way for his successor before his power and influence begins to decline, ensuring that he can grasp the power he has left behind to the greatest extent possible.
And for Lynch, his "time" is running out!
With Mr. Trueman's victory, there is actually a rift between him and Mr. Trueman that seems inconspicuous, but will definitely not heal, but will become bigger and deeper!
Outsiders can't see it, only they themselves know it.
Now Mr. Trueman's high-profile support for all Lynch's work is not to repay his political investment in his campaign, but to firmly bind Lynch to himself.
When people mention Lynch in the future, the first thing that will come to mind is Mr. Trueman.
Once the re-election is over, the new president will never use Lynch to bind the big capitalists of the previous president, and he will even have to be careful in his contacts.
And Mr. Trueman has enough reasons to use other methods to reduce Lynch's wings and his influence!
Like through the hands of the next president!
The Federation does not need a second Duncan family, nor does it need a second Mr. Geruno.
Lynch is ambitious and capable, and most importantly, he is fearless of authority!
This is precisely the most irreconcilable part between Mr. Trueman and Lynch. Both sides are taking advantage of each other and starting to be wary of each other.
Mr. Trueman needed an obedient tool, and Lynch didn't want to be a dog. They could never compromise.
Maximizing his influence during Mr. Trueman's tenure is only part of Lynch's plan.
He believed that Mr. Trueman would also support him, because this was exactly what Mr. Trueman wanted.
There are some things that it is not convenient for the federal government to take action, but Lynch is very convenient to take action. At the same time, people must realize that this is the will of the federal government...
The Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee could vaguely guess all this. The reason why he was so relieved to complete the agreement of interests with Lynch was because he trusted Lynch more than he trusted Mr. Trueman.
You know, Mr. Trueman comes from the military, and he is not suitable for governing. This is the result of compromise between the federal government and the military on some issues.
But this does not mean that the Progressive Party has truly accepted a president from the military!
This is exactly what Lynch wants to exploit.
Unite those who can unite, and then fight those who cannot.
This is politics.
