1965

Eucalyptus was no ordinary eucalyptus. As soon as several media reported it, the entire federation soon knew about it.

So far, the mainstream news in the Federation still adopts the method of buying and selling.

To put it simply, there are some federal agencies that specialize in selling press releases to news organizations, and local news media will purchase some news for publication when needed.

For now, the world has not yet entered the information age, and due to constraints such as labor costs, not every news media has reporters assigned to the country or even the world.

It is even more impossible for any newspaper to establish a reporter station in every city!

For example, in some small cities with a population of only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, everything that happens throughout the day may be gathered together, and it may not be enough to cover it in one newspaper.

Therefore, these newspapers, in order to subscribe, for customers' desire to read, and to let everyone know more about the Federation, they need to purchase press releases from other regions.

The price of press releases is generally not too expensive, ranging from a few yuan to dozens of yuan to hundreds of yuan. Except for special news that can cost tens of millions, the price is actually not too high.

Different regions have different selling prices, and there are several companies in the Federation that are doing this business.

It may seem inconspicuous, but it’s really profitable!

In addition, there are also free contributions. For example, this time the Duke's grandson's eulogy is directly provided by the "Pioneer" magazine to the national media.

Although it is a free article, it is news-oriented, has hot topics of discussion, and does not have an overly biased position.

Reports soon began across the country.

As long as any matter becomes a hot topic, it will be difficult to suppress it even if there is pressure from the top.

The Federals were a very special group, and some demonstrations soon broke out, making this incident known to everyone.

In the evening, many TV interviews reported related content. Some talk shows also invited some sociologists and some celebrities to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the Gaevra nobles living in the Federation.

In short, the matter was so big that even the Presidential Palace took action.

This also intensified the Duke's desire to end this incident as soon as possible. He felt that not only himself, but also the aristocracy was being targeted because of his grandson.

Many media directly amplified the target of attack to the entire noble group, making all nobles very passive.

These people also called the Duke, and there was a sense of dissatisfaction in their words.

The Duke did not dare to delay any longer and directly entrusted a lawyer to contact Ms. Landa. Women's rights institutions have a very special status in the Federation.

It may seem that they do not have much political influence, but in society, the influence of feminist institutions is even more terrifying than that of some political groups.

Just like the "abstinence action" they launched before, many women who responded to the call banned their intimate partners from having sex with them, making the whole society a little restless.

The girls in this case are also women and some are children, doubly complying with the care standards of feminist organizations. In addition, the lawyers reminded the Duke that if Ms. Landa could say something nice, the court would be less concerned about the sentencing issue.

The two met in Ms. Landa's office. At this time, Ms. Landa was more confident than before.

With the success of small ball last year and more sponsors this year, she has even more money.

Whether it’s a feminist organization or any other organization, in the end, whoever has the money has the final say.

Ms. Landa has money, so other people have to listen to Ms. Landa if they don’t want to go hungry.

If everyone listens to her, it means that she has the authority. This is a very common truth.

After the Duke sat down, he talked about the donation, which Ms. Landa also welcomed.

A donation of two million will bring her reputation within the feminist organization to its peak. In the future, she is very likely to use the springboard of women's rights to jump into politics like Ms. Tracy.

She knew that she had big shortcomings compared to Ms. Tracy. She didn't expect to become the governor as soon as she started, but there shouldn't be any problem starting from the mayor, right?

If it really doesn't work, it might not be impossible if Lynch works harder.

This also allowed Landa to maintain a certain distance and maintain a reserved attitude when facing the Duke.

"Your Majesty the Duke, to be honest, if it weren't for Mr....'s relationship, I wouldn't be willing..." She smiled tactfully, "You know, some things are really not easy to touch."

"If I speak for you from a personal perspective, it is likely to cause criticism, which I don't want to see."

"No matter how much you donate!"

The Duke looked at Landa with a deep look and said softly, "I will give you another five hundred thousand."

He could hear the meaning behind Landa's words——

The money was donated to a women's rights organization, and the money was in the public account of the women's rights organization. Although Landa had the power to control the money, she also had to be supervised at the same time.

She has no way of swallowing the money herself. In the end, even if the process is relaxed to the maximum extent, she can only get tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and it will be in place.

Any more and someone might call the police and she would need to be investigated.

For such a small amount of money, Randa thought it was not worth it to take the huge risk of being targeted by the whole society to speak for the Duke and his grandson.

She could get this amount of money from anywhere, so there was no need to take risks.

But the Duke's next words made her expression change somewhat.

The temptation of half a million is still quite big.

Just when Landa was still hesitating, the Duke added another price, "One million, anonymous account."

“I believe there aren’t many people who can offer this price except me!”

The Duke no longer wanted to guess what Landa was thinking. She did not refuse immediately the first time but hesitated. Then give her more money!

one million!

According to the current wages of ordinary workers in Bupen, without eating, drinking or paying taxes, it would take nearly two hundred years to earn this amount of money.

Even Landa's own current salary, without food, drink, or taxes, would take almost fifty years!

But at this moment, all she needs to do is nod her head, and the money will go into her pocket!

This made Landa's breathing quicken!

Her head was a little confused and she had to think about it.

The Duke looked at the woman in front of him. If she refused again or wanted more, he would leave.

He calculated that he would have to spend about 10 million on his grandson, which was the limit of what he could bear.

It's not that he can't afford more money, but that he thinks his grandson is worth so much!

If it takes more, it would be better to let him go to jail, as the lawyer said, as long as he doesn't die.

Wait twenty or thirty years and then find a way to fish it out. By then the cost will be much less.

A minute later, Landa nodded and agreed with slightly red eyes, "I will make a public statement after the money arrives."

The Duke glanced at the phone, "Do you mind if I use it?"

Landa was stunned for a moment, then shook her head apologetically, "Sorry, this is an internal call..."

It's not that she doesn't want to use it, she's just afraid of the trouble.

The Duke didn't say anything, and then stood up, "We need a ceremony for the two million donation, and the other one million can be given to you now."

He said and took out a card with a bank account number and password on it, "No voucher, password withdrawal."

Randa's heart almost jumped out of her mouth when she reached out to catch the card. She twitched, but then looked at the Duke.

The Duke looked directly into her eyes, "Would you like to cooperate?"

Landa nodded, "Happy cooperation!"

The Duke let go of his hand and then stood up, "Let me know when you are ready..."

After saying that, he left.

Randa watched him leave, and when the door slowly closed, she looked at the card in her hand, and a pleasure she had never experienced before was quickly attacking her nerves!

Later, she picked up the phone and dialed Lynch's number...

On the other side, several lawyers are working with the families of the victims.

They booked a luxury room at the Bupen Hotel and invited the victim's family over.

The victim was not invited because the victim should still be in a state of anger and anxiety.

In such a state, it is very likely that extreme emotions will ruin their negotiations.

On the contrary, the families of the victims who come from the bottom of society have a stronger desire for money and are easier to persuade.

The location chosen was also carefully chosen by the legal team.

Ultra-luxurious hotels can better bring out the humbleness of the victims' families, which is like the timidity of a peasant boy from the country when he first enters a big hotel.

In terms of personality, he is inferior. Even if he is not inferior to others in a legal sense, he will appear to be submissive and will not dare to fight back forcefully when in trouble.

That's what the lawyers wanted, and they got it.

Victims' families were visibly restrained while sitting on the couch, when a paralegal disguised as a waiter casually pointed out how much the couch beneath their butts was worth.

The couple felt a little restless as if they were sitting on hot coals!

Not long after, two lawyers arrived and they began negotiating with the victim's family.

"There was some traffic on the road, so I kept you waiting for a long time." He did not apologize, but just explained why he was late.

As he thought, the victim's family did not express dissatisfaction with his lateness at all, but instead showed an understanding attitude towards him.

This made the lawyer's mouth slightly raise, "Then let's talk about the case."

"The client entrusted me to handle it. This power of attorney..."

He showed it, it was a matter of process and it had to be shown.

The couple looked at it casually and then pushed it back. They couldn't understand it anyway.

The lawyer didn't put it away in a hurry and just let it sit on the coffee table. "I guess you haven't found a lawyer yet, right?"

The couple looked at each other, not sure what the lawyer meant. The man nodded and said, "Yes, we are planning to find a lawyer. Things happened so suddenly..."

Without giving the man a chance to finish his words, the lawyer spoke.

"No wonder you are asking for 10 million yuan in compensation. You may not quite understand that your behavior has been suspected of extortion!"

"If you had consulted a lawyer, they would definitely not advise you to do this!"
