1672 Crush
The mayor's election is a very important event for the citizens of a city, which will determine their life and work for the next two years or even longer.
In fact, before this, some people always felt that whether the mayor or the governor was elected every two years, was it... too frequent?
In fact, you can't think so. Most of the time, the mayor who wins the election will have a long term.
As long as you don't do too badly, four years is just the beginning. Six years, eight years, in the federation there are even governors for more than 20 years and mayors for more than 30 years!
As long as you are actually doing things for people and people can see it, they will always choose you.
Moreover, most policies take at least three to four years or even longer from establishment to implementation.
For example, if you build a university locally, it may not take long to build it, but it will take a long time to perfect it.
As long as she continues to do this, Catherine's journey as mayor will continue.
Coupled with Ms. Tracey's care, serving as mayor for four years and then jumping to the state assembly is a very good path!
In the federation, people often refer to their resumes when choosing to support certain top politicians. Having a perfect resume may not add many points to her, but at least it will not cause anyone to find any faults.
Catherine's speech today was very smooth and did not appear particularly radical. This scale was well controlled.
The performance of male politicians and female politicians in the political arena cannot be evaluated in the same way. For example, if they are both doing something radical, male politicians need to achieve 80 points to be qualified, but female politicians only need 60 points. It's qualified.
In fact, this is a kind of discrimination and prejudice against female politicians in mainstream society.
But even this kind of discrimination and prejudice can sometimes become the advantages of female politicians themselves!
They can show a radical attitude while taking into account the ideas of some conservatives. It may be difficult for them to stand out from politicians in the same position across the country, but they will definitely not be at the bottom.
More importantly, people are significantly more tolerant of women than men.
Provided that the lady is not married.
Catherine's speech lasted about eighty minutes. When her speech was about to end, she suddenly looked at Lynch sitting in the first row.
Lynch immediately realized that this might be a "surprise". She did not speak, but just looked at Lynch, and the camera lens also captured this.
The cameraman in charge of the scene gave Lynch a close-up.
Lin Qi knew that this was an invitation, and she was asking herself if she needed to go up and talk. This is a kind of tacit understanding that can naturally develop among people who have lived together for a long time.
You can understand everything with just one look!
He then nodded slightly and stood up.
Catherine stepped aside from the main podium and began to applaud, "Welcome Mr. Lynch to say something for us..."
After a brief moment of surprise, the audience immediately burst into applause and whistles!
Lynch walked to the stage and looked at the voters.
There were quite a few people there, from over 1,000 to 2,000 people.
The number of people is a bit small?
No, definitely not. As a non-heavy industrial city, and it does not belong to the southern coast, it is amazing that so many people can come to a candidate mayor’s speech in such an inland city in the south-central part of the federation!
You must know that Catherine's opponents, when they gave public speeches in the open air, there were only a few hundred people at best.
The applause from the audience continued when Lynch came on stage. It lasted for ten to twenty seconds, or about thirty seconds, before it gradually subsided due to Lynch's false press.
"A lot of people know me!", he said it very confidently as soon as he opened his mouth.
The federal society is a society where people are brave enough to express themselves. Modesty here will only be regarded as timidity. On the contrary, these extroverted expressions will gain people's approval.
Then, Lynch added, "...from the lace newspapers!"
A strong and confident sentence coupled with a little humor can shorten the distance between people and him in an instant.
There were good-natured laughs, but most of the time Lynch appeared in newspapers in only two ways.
One is business newspapers reporting news related to him, such as what's going on with his company, what's going on with orders from the Ministry of National Defense, etc.
These newspapers and reports are very professional. It is no exaggeration to say that only professionals will read these newspapers.
No family whose monthly living expenses do not exceed 200 yuan would spend extra money to subscribe to content that has nothing to do with their lives.
Another type of newspaper that will report on Lynch's situation is various entertainment gossip newspapers.
They will report who Lynch is having sex with, who spent the night at Lynch's villa, and who will be at parties or his birthday guests.
These reports are not serious and the content is not professional. Some newspapers can even be regarded as human literature, and the descriptions in them will make people blush.
So when he mentioned this matter in this place, what appeared in most people's minds were those tidbits of news.
A rich man who has strong self-confidence but doesn't mind using his own jokes to show humor, who is also handsome, wealthy, and easy to get in touch with can indeed be liked by people quickly!
Catherine, who was standing aside, looked at Lynch and recalled every moment of the years. He was always so eye-catching and could always establish a connection with people quickly.
There are some emotions and some sighs.
Lynch looked back at Catherine and smiled, "First of all, thank you Catherine for inviting me to come up and talk. In fact, many things have been said in her speech just now."
"Education reform, student loans, and more jobs."
“I have noticed that some media have recently referred to these as ‘challenges to the traditional education system.’ I think their statement is not quite right.”
"I, Ms. Catherine, and more people who pay attention to this field have never thought of challenging the old education system. We are just using this mechanism to give more ordinary people the opportunity to go to school."
"This is not a challenge, this is a kind of strengthening, a kind of mutual help, a kind of win-win!"
"Society is developing at a speed that is difficult for us to detect. At the same time, the demand for high-end talents will be increasing. It is difficult for the existing education system to meet the upcoming gap in high-end talents."
"That's why we will try to promote education reform after careful consideration."
"In the coming time, my idea is to establish no less than twenty comprehensive universities across the country, and of course this is also planned..."
Lynch talks about the issues that people care about most, such as admissions eligibility.
Of course, he also mentioned that in order to pass the admission, you must have a certain level of scores, at least to meet the admission score of these universities.
Otherwise, you will not be able to keep up with your studies after joining and will waste money in vain. This is not a smart choice.
He also talked about the issue of student loans, and thoughtfully told everyone not to worry about repayment.
Because Blackstone will give priority to these students who purchased student loans to provide employment, they will find their own place in Blackstone's expanding business.
He also talked about the issue of urban construction. He planned to set up a traditional local enterprise, mainly engaged in agriculture and animal husbandry.
In fact, the Federation still has a lot of wasteland, but at the same time, there is still a shortage of food in the Federation.
With the emergence of a large number of immigrants, and the uncontrolled births of these immigrants, including the natives of the Federation, the food gap will only become larger in the future.
In addition to agriculture and animal husbandry, Lynch will also set up a processing factory to produce anything.
Profitability or not is actually not that important. What is important is creating jobs.
For the people at the bottom, their demands are actually very simple, that is, whether they can have a suitable job and whether they can have enough to eat.
As long as these are met, most of them won't have any other ideas.
Everyone applauded loudly as Lynch promised to bring 1,000 to 1,500 jobs to the city.
Perhaps these jobs may seem few in sheer numbers, but in reality they are not.
In less than twenty minutes, Lynch finished his "additional remarks", and everyone responded enthusiastically.
Someone even suddenly asked a question
"Mr. Lynch, are you and Ms. Catherine still lovers?"
Lynch looked at Catherine with a smile, and Catherine took the initiative and said, "I'm pursuing him!"
While people exclaimed, they also smiled and blessed them.
Although there is no admission, everyone feels that this is also an indirect admission.
In the evening, the TV station broadcast the entire speech, and then people in the entire city knew about it.
This is also one of the advantages of small cities. Its operating model may be relatively simple, but its news coverage is very high.
This is not like Bupen, where more than a dozen TV stations broadcast news in turn. There are still many people who only watch those entertainment channels. They may not find out that something big happened until the news is out of date.
In addition to the citizens welcoming Lynch's arrival, Catherine's other competitors also politely expressed that this was a fucking foul!
This is high-dimensional crushing, giving them no chance to fight back, even though they knew it from the beginning!
On the second day, what was even more outrageous was that even Ms. Tracey came.
She is the governor of this state.
Ms. Tracey came here because Lynch was here. Some time ago, she got to know him better through Lynch and the Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee.
The short old man, who was planning to pave the way for his successor, also welcomed the governor who took the initiative to join him. With the support of one more governor, his successor would get more help.
Now everyone in the committee supports his choice, but once he really leaves office, who knows if anything unpleasant will happen?
With the support of the committee chairman and the positive response from the Progressive Party senators, Ms. Tracy finally secured her position as governor and won her first re-election.
And all this was because she got help from Lynch.
Lynch helped Catherine stand up, so she naturally had to come over to show her support...
