1779 One More Person

Lynch laughed after hearing this, "No problem, Mr. Gladstone, if I have the ability to do something for you, I will do it for you."

Gladstone gave Lynch an uncertain answer. When is the right time? If such a suitable time occurs, what kind of responsibilities will increase?

Let her do more of her job, or let her be responsible for more work?

He couldn't clearly give an accurate answer, and Lynch's answer to him was also very ambiguous.

Gladstone on the other end of the phone frowned. He knew many people, including capitalists, politicians, and people from the military.

His grandfather and his father laid a solid foundation for him to impact this important position, and his own efforts have allowed him to always regard himself as a future high-level figure.

He cultivates himself and exercises himself, and he knows very well that some words cannot be said too fully.

Not only to avoid saying too much and setting too high expectations for others, but also to avoid saying too much but not being able to achieve it, which will inevitably lead to some unpleasant things happening in the end.

He felt that his statement was very accurate.

He could never guarantee that Catherine would become governor or something in the future. Ms. Tracy became governor because she was the "standard" for federal female voters, and her uncle was the patriarch.

The dual influence of politics and religion, coupled with the push of the tide of the times, required such a female governor, and she appeared.

Otherwise, she would not have any leverage at all. In this male-dominated world, they would not allow any woman to challenge or steal their authority!

Ms. Tracy may not be the only one, but in terms of status, she may be the highest!

Gladstone was not very satisfied with Lynch's perfunctory answer, just as Lynch was not very satisfied with his answer. Everyone's hearts were as clear as pure crystal, and they all knew what the other party wanted.

But one person is not willing to just agree, he still has some persistence and reserve of his own.

And the other one will never make a loss-making transaction, so it is even more impossible for him to give in first!

Gladstone pretended not to have heard Lynch's words, and expressed his gratitude to Lynch for supporting him in a gentle voice, and casually said that he would invite Lynch to get together when he had time.

Soon, he hung up the phone. Lynch on the other side looked at the receiver in his hand, smiled and shook his head.

It's a fucking seller's market right now. To use the words of another world, there are rare things to buy!

He is in no hurry.

Two days passed quickly. On the third day, the Progressive Party Committee meeting was held again. There were no other discussions. The first step was to continue the vote that had not been answered before.

Everyone has been very busy these days. They are not busy with work, but busy making phone calls and meeting other people quietly through the distance.

Even the expression of candidate No. 3 has changed somewhat.

Now the situation is becoming increasingly uncertain. Candidate No. 3 has been thinking about it for a while in the past two days, and he may not have no chance at all!

Although the nature of his work means that he does not have access to so many capitalists and does not have much power, as a senior member of the Progressive Party.

They still have influence within the Progressive Party, and the people who decide who among them can become the next Chairman of the Progressive Party Committee are these party committee members!

It is impossible for them to let capitalists vote. As long as they are within the party, why doesn't he give it a try?

Everyone is looking forward to the results of the vote, including Senator Landon himself, who is curious about what the results will be today.

Lynch called him last night and asked him to vote for the third candidate.

Just now, when the small group met, he also asked everyone to vote for the third candidate.

Abstentions are counted as valid votes but are not included in the total number of votes cast.

For example, if 100 people vote, 67 people need to agree to form a "majority". However, if 50 people choose to abstain from voting in this vote.

Then when a "majority" is to be formed, it is not calculated based on the total number of one hundred people, but based on the total number of valid votes that are not abstentions.

In other words, counting the other fifty votes for or against, only thirty-four people are needed to seal the victory.

They had abstained from voting before, but now, in order to avoid accidents, they must make their votes valid and counted, so voting for the third candidate is obviously the wisest choice.

The first round of voting ended quickly, and the counting process was not long. Many people felt that the winner should be between Gladstone and the No. 2 candidate.

But when all the votes were tallied, some people even laughed after being stunned for a while!

Gladstone's support rate is only 41%. This support rate is actually very dangerous. He may lose what he wants anytime and anywhere.

The number two candidate has a support rate of 37%, which is also very dangerous.

Whether it is Gladstone or the No. 2 candidate, it can be said that they are already facing elimination in a one-on-one vote.

But the problem is, this is not a one-to-one vote, but a choice between three!

Candidate No. 3 received a support rate of 32%. In fact, this support rate is meaningless in many cases, as long as it does not exceed 34%, 1% and 33.9%. it's the same!

But in an election of three people, this number is very subtle!

If he works hard, he may surpass others.

If he just maintains his current vote share, then it is impossible for the other two to win!

This is almost the most meaningful vote of the Progressive Party in the past 100 years. It seems that no one of the three can surpass the other.

Compared to Gladstone, who looked obviously unhappy, candidate No. 2 and No. 3 seemed very harmonious, and they even congratulated each other.

The following break is a time for people to canvass each other for votes, promise benefits and betrayal.

Countless calls were made from the Capitol, and many people outside knew this ridiculous news immediately!

I thought everything would only be a matter of competition between two people, but unexpectedly there was another one!

The arrival of another one means that there are more variables. Many capitalists and politicians have not bet on the No. 3 candidate.

Now that they have one more choice, they don't know who to choose is the most suitable for a while.

Senator Landon and his small group were also together, and they were less stressed.

No matter how they choose, they are not members of a certain committee member or a certain political force.

They are capitalists and representatives of capitalists. As long as Lynch does not collapse, they will not be gloomy in the future!

Judging from the current situation, it will be difficult for Lynch to collapse within at least ten years.

As for things ten years from now, who the hell would think that far ahead?

Lynch also knew the news, and he immediately understood that many people made the same choice as him.

According to previous reports and news, about 20% of people chose to wait and see.

In the past, they would have abstained from voting on the sidelines, but this time, they stayed on the sidelines.

This puts a lot of pressure on others. If the 20% bet on Gladstone, he can basically seal the victory.

If you bet on the second candidate, Gladstone will most likely be eliminated.

These forces of waiting and watching became the decisive force in determining the outcome!

During the call, Lynch's answer to them was to continue voting for candidate No. 3, and he judged that today's voting would still be postponed to another day.

There is absolutely no result in this situation!

This also makes everyone relaxed.

A lot of people are relaxed.

The results of the first round of voting made it obvious to everyone that whether it was Gladstone or the No. 2 candidate, the results of canvassing in the past few days did not have much effect.

In other words, the rewards they promised were not enough to make those who were waiting and watching firmly stand on their side, which led to today's results.

In this case, everyone is making dynamic adjustments and will continue to postpone it until the "majority" gets what they want and then unifies their position.

The facts are indeed as Lynch judged. After four votes were held, and the results of the last two were exactly the same, Gladstone, the other two candidates, and the top committee officials all knew that there would be no results today, so they chose Continue to postpone.

It is better to postpone the vote for forty-eight hours, that is, to the third day.

Gladstone's expression was solemn when he left. Having one opponent was enough to make him irritated, but now there was another one.

When he went back, he was sitting in a car with the short old man, and he didn't complain.

His grandfather told him since he was a child that guns and bullets are better than mouth, and complaining can't solve any problems.

He is just very troubled by those who have always expressed support for him but have not taken actual actions.

The short old man seemed a little more relaxed than the previous few days.

"This is actually a good thing." His eyes retracted from the window and fell on Gladstone.

Logically speaking, Gladstone should be considered his grandnephew, but this relationship is too far away, and even the law may not recognize them as relatives.

This was one of the reasons why he had been helping Gladstone.

"I was very worried in the past two days. I was worried... that he won all these people over."

"But you see, those people are not on his side, at least they are not on his side until you completely disappoint them!"

"They are telling you in their own way that they can fight for it, as long as you give them what they want."

"If we win over this part, as long as your support rate returns to above 60 percent, he will give up on his own."

Gladstone figured something out. He was amazed at the old man's political wisdom and reaction, but also felt a little distressed.

"But there are some things that I can't promise them, and I don't know who is among them!"

The old man laughed twice, "They will jump out soon, don't worry!"
