2038

The next morning, Lynch saw the chairman of the Conservative Party committee in a park outside Boupen Circle.

He was sitting on a park bench like an ordinary old man, holding a paper bag with bread in his hand.

From time to time he took out some crumbs of bread from the paper bag and threw them on the ground in front of him.

In the open space in front of him, many gray pigeons had gathered.

These pigeons will continue to change positions according to the bread crumbs he throws out, and sometimes some pigeons will attack other pigeons in order to monopolize more food.

In the corner of the park in the morning, the old man and the pigeons looked natural and harmonious. No one could have imagined that this old man had a prominent status.

Lynch shrank his neck, and his personal security officer nodded to him, indicating that the surrounding area was under control and would be very safe.

He then left the vehicle and stepped into the park.

A homeless man watched the well-dressed Lynch enter the park and wanted to follow him into the park.

Times are not easy for homeless people either.

Ever since the federal government introduced the “utility encroachment tax,” homeless people have to pay extra fucking taxes too.

The police will randomly select homeless people they meet on the street and ask them to produce their tax returns and tax payment certificates from the previous quarter.

If they can't show it, they will be sent to a temporary prison for homeless people——

These temporary prisons are called prisons, but they are actually factories.

The factory has been contracted to capitalists. After entering, homeless people have to work hard for twelve hours a day and earn a small amount of income.

They must pay back last quarter's taxes and fines before they can leave the temporary prison.

If they continue to fail to complete these requirements, they will continue to do these tasks.

But if they fail to pay the fine within six months, they are transferred to real prison, with sentences ranging from six months to 10 years.

This was also the New Deal after Mr. Trueman came to power. The homeless people were also angry and marched. Facts have proved that even if they unite, it will be useless.

Most homeless people have a formal job, and a small number of homeless people rely on begging, theft or even robbery to barely pay taxes.

The homeless man saw that the coat Lynch was wearing was very expensive and decent, and he thought he could get some money from Lynch.

Three to five yuan, or more.

This will be a great help for him in paying his taxes!

But the next second, he was blocked out!

"Go somewhere else!"

A guy in a formal suit and tie looked at him and said with an unkind expression, "You are not welcome here for the time being."

The homeless man was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, the guy lifted his clothes and revealed the gun holster inside, "Don't cause trouble for yourself."

The tramp immediately raised his hands and took a few steps back. He swore that he just wanted to beg for a few dollars from the kind master!

At this time, Lin Qi didn't know what was happening outside, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

He went straight to the bench and sat down. Because of his arrival, some pigeons flew up.

But it soon fell back to the ground.

"Look at these little guys, they are obviously aware of the danger, but they still don't want to leave."

"If I were one of those hungry homeless people, they might become my dinner."

The old man said something appropriate to the occasion, crushed some bread and threw it out.

Those pigeons that stayed in the same place immediately gave up all vigilance and flew to grab the delicious food with other pigeons.

Lynch seemed to have gained something and said, "Because profit is always the best bait. As long as you throw it out big enough, people will catch it!"

The old man turned slightly sideways and looked at Lin Qi.

The temperature at this time had not yet completely risen. At the end of February, white air blew out rhythmically from his mouth and nose when he breathed.

"You don't look like a young man, Lynch, you look like an old guy."

The old man sighed with emotion, "But you are a little different from other old people. Your determination to make progress is the huge difference between you."

"A lot of people my age, you know, our biggest wish is to just take it one day at a time."

"As long as there is no trouble, we can find a place to sit for the whole day."

"This is different about you, you are always doing something."

He paused as he spoke, "And we lack people like you."

Lynch's response was quick, "Are you talking about you and you, or do you mean the Conservative Party?"

The old man sprinkled another handful of bread crumbs nonchalantly, "Both of them are there, what difference does it make?"

Lynch replied, "I'm willing to make friends, but I don't want to be what others call a 'traitor.'"

The old man laughed loudly after hearing this, "I haven't heard anyone say this word for a long time. You know, for us, sometimes the boundaries are not so clear."

He smiled, shook his head, and said in a sincere voice, "They are ostracizing Trueman. I believe you can see that. I respect him very much. He is an idealist practitioner."

"Actually, he is more suitable to come to our side. Compared to the 'reform' that capitalists call, we have the same views on many issues."

Conservatives may not be truly conservative; conservatism is just a manifestation of political and social needs.

Is the conservatism against capitalists not a kind of defense?

From another perspective, the Progressive Party’s reforms are actually more about meeting the policy demands of capitalists.

The federal government has improved many laws and regulations, making this society a more suitable soil for the growth of capitalism.

On the contrary, the relatively conservative Conservative Party’s attitude on some issues can actually inhibit the rapid expansion of capital!

Of course, this is all two-sided. In other words, it is an agreement reached under the common demands of politics and capital. It does not represent the truth, let alone the truth. It is just a superficial appearance of conformity in a period of time!

Lin Qi said nothing, he could hear the old man soliciting him.

The old man glanced at Lynch again, "History is like a turntable, now it's our turn!"

"We also have a party next week, if you are interested, you can come and have a look."

"We don't need any commitment from you. You can regard it as an ordinary social interaction to broaden your network!"

"You don't have to worry about us using this matter to make publicity. There will be relatively few people gathering here."

"I will introduce some interesting people to you then, and you will find that the environment here is actually more harmonious and freer than that of the Progressive Party!"

Lin Qi thought for a while and asked, "Is this considered solicitation?"

The old man smiled and replied, "No, this is just an invitation!"

Lynch then agreed. He didn't need to refuse, and he wasn't afraid of others knowing.

"I'll have someone send you the invitation, and I'll greet you at the door then!" After the old man finished speaking, he took out all the remaining bread, crushed it, and threw it out. Gray doves gathered before him.

When he stood up, the pigeons did not fly away. Perhaps in their eyes, there was no difference between the old man and them.

At least, there's no threat.

The Conservative Party wants to win over Lynch for the general election in two years.

There is no doubt about this. In fact, the Progressives are also trying to win over supporters behind the Conservative Party.

The so-called party unity, to put it bluntly, is such a simple thing, uniting more people!

The six major banks have always not expressed too much on election issues, because for them, whoever becomes president must put them in an important position.

The influence of the six major banks on the federation is unquestionable. If any bank is pulled out alone, it may shake the economy of a region!

Not to mention that although the six major industries struggle with each other, they can unite when necessary.

Lynch is outside the six major banks. It is said that Blackstone Bank is about to open to Gefra!

The news has not yet been announced, but a few people have already gotten the news.

Lynch proposed Gaifra's economic reconstruction plan on the grounds that Gaifra owed him a debt of 4 billion.

The fact that the debt of 4 billion still exists, but Blackstone Bank used the 4 billion and the subsequent slowdown in installments as conditions to enter Gafra's market.

In other words, Blackstone Bank will become the first bank in history that spans the two countries and is recognized by the two governments!

Other banks' foreign businesses are just business, and their status is far inferior to that of the central bank of the country where they are located. Blackstone Bank has changed this situation.

Given Lynch's status as Prince Gevra and the Queen's adoptive father, Blackstone Bank will definitely have a transcendent status in Gevra!

In addition, Blackstone Bank is backed by the Federation and is more secure and reliable. It is conceivable that once the agreement is reached, Blackstone Bank will immediately cover the entire area of ​​​​Gefra Island and become one of the strongest banks.

Even Royal Bank may not be as good as Blackstone Bank!

How could anyone let such a powerful guy go?

In the past, it was because the relationship between Lynch and Mr. Trueman was so damn strong that they often attended family dinners, so there was no need for the Progressive Party or the Conservative Party to talk to him.

Talking about it is in vain and will make everyone look bad.

The situation is different now, and all parties have begun to win over him.

The old man didn't say much, but he conveyed a lot.

I sat there for a while and watched the pigeons pacing back and forth anxiously after eating. When they realized there was no more food, they dispersed in a hurry, just like those capitalists.

When there is benefit, they immediately surround you, even if there are risks, they don't care.

But once the benefits disappear, they will immediately disperse and never stop!

Lynch raised his head and squinted at the city in the distance. The nine o'clock sunlight enveloped the earth in the southeastern sky.

It brings warmth to the world, breaks the harsh winter, and awakens the world.

Not long after, Lynch got up and left the park. After the convoy left, some security personnel guarding the surrounding area closed the convoy and left in another car.

Since Mr. Trueman was assassinated, Lynch has raised his security level several notches.
