If respect between people is mutual, then it is a matter of moral character.

But if respect is only one-sided, then this is class!

From bottom to top, worship and respect for money and power, bred from envy and jealousy, have divided society into many levels.

People like to be respected themselves, not to respect others.

Whether it is the team leader in the workshop with less than 500 yuan, or the politicians at the top of the federal political arena.

That’s all true!

When Lynch got off the docked cruise ship, Gladstone and Connor were already waiting for him at the port. This is respect.

But such respect often hides something else behind it.

In addition to the two of them, there were some other entourage, as well as some reporters.

Lynch won't even waste his brain cells thinking about why these reporters are here. There is no doubt that they brought it!

He has even thought about tomorrow's newspaper headlines——

"Conner, a strong candidate in the presidential election, reaches cooperation with Lynch"

Speaking of which, the general election is still a year away, but the atmosphere of a declaration of war has gradually emerged.

The Progressive Party, the Conservative Party, and even the Socialist Party came out to try to win votes and successfully reach that position.

Here's a very interesting... news of sorts.

The Socialist Party had already accumulated some strength before the war broke out. They planned to first win a state as a base, and then gradually gain a foothold in Congress.

But the problem is that as soon as we embark on the path of development, war comes.

During the war, everything was managed according to wartime regulations, and the main supporters of the Socialist Party were the middle and lower classes of society.

This group of people was under the greatest pressure during the war, so much so that after the war ended, they discovered that they had gone back to a few years ago overnight!

Their supporters are facing troublesome family financial problems. Who still has the ability and time to support them as president?

Now that their previous plan had failed due to the war, they came up with a new plan to run for president.

They are not really planning to run for president, this is essentially a scam!

It’s just that the targets of their fraud are some international capital forces who have not yet figured out the game of federal politics. They persuade some foreign capital forces.

They received a political donation. According to rumors, several of their core members were considering whether to take the money and run away.

But later, under the persuasion of their committee chairman, everyone gave up the idea.

They will use the funds to conduct a national public speaking tour across the federation, and they also know that they cannot defeat the Progressive Party and the Conservative Party.

So from the beginning, what these people said to those overseas capital forces, "We will try our best," was a scam. They just hope to use this money to let more people know about them and understand them.

As for the election?

They tried their best!

Some people think this will be an opportunity for the rise of the Socialist Party, but...these foreign capital may be stupid for a while, but they will definitely not stay stupid forever.

It is difficult to say what the future of the Socialist Party will be like. Just because they are actively preparing for the election, it has added a lot of topicality to the election.

"Lynch!" Gladstone was very enthusiastic. Slem's enthusiasm and the pressure of the election forced him to lower his attitude.

Before he became the chairman of the Progressive Party Committee, the old man in his eyes was definitely the only two supreme beings in this country!

It seems that nothing can make him feel troublesome!

At that time, Gladstone believed that some of the reasons were due to the old man's rich experience and experience.

Part of the reason is because of his status!

Anyone, even a pig standing in that high position, would be in too much trouble, or no trouble that they would consider big trouble.

The resources they can mobilize range from the president of the country and members of Congress to the people at the bottom and factory workers.

With such rights, what else can they not solve?

But now, he has met it!

A large number of reporters focused their cameras on Gladstone, who was striding toward Lynch during this seemingly formal reception or meeting.

The party with a higher status will often stand still, and only the party with a lower status will take the initiative to greet them!

It's "ying", a word that is difficult to explain.

Lynch stood at the foot of the steps outside the gangway, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Gladstone, who was walking over. Gladstone's attitude was very low, so low that Lynch was a little surprised.

This also shows that the current situation is more serious than what they communicated on the phone.

"You made a big fight!" Lynch said with a smile.

Gladstone also knew that Lynch was talking about the reporters who were constantly clicking their shutters. He kept his facial expression and replied, "We need to fight back, and the Progressive Party also needs to fight back."

"This is a favor I owe you..."

While they were talking, Connor also came over, and the two shook hands again.

The three of them behaved very cordially in front of the camera.

This was enough reason for people to wonder whether they had made any agreement before.

Look, the media didn't even know when Lynch would return to the Federation, but these two people came to pick him up in advance. They must have been in contact before this.

There is only one reason why they can do this with such a low profile and high attitude, and that is the election campaign!

Thinking of the current rare weakness of the Progressive Party in public opinion, both reporters and readers who are about to see these reports will have their own thoughts!

The three of them posed for a while and then got into the car. Gladstone said that he would entertain Lynch for dinner that evening, so naturally they had to talk during the time between dinner.

Lynch was in his own car, and the convoy followed Gladstone's car into Gladstone's suburban manor.

The last sight of the reporters also stayed at this moment.

They couldn't chase him in. It was a private place, and even if Gladstone wanted more reports about their relationship with Lynch, he wouldn't let reporters chase him in.

Lynch simply freshened up, changed into a set of clothes, and rested for a while before meeting the two people who had been waiting for him in Gladstone's study.

Gladstone's study room was so large that it looked like a small library. The four-meter-high bookcase had to be climbed up a ladder to get the top book.

The study room is filled with a unique smell emitted by the decaying process of ink and paper, which is very "bookish".

After the three of them sat down separately, Lynch raised his doubts, "Is there a lot of pressure on the election now?"

Gladstone glanced at Connor, who nodded, "That's true."

"There are now a large number of foreign capitalists who are fully supporting the Conservative Party in coming to power. They contribute not only donations, but also many high-quality jobs."

"The reason for these is the Conservative Party's commitment not to further expand the federal status in the international arena and not to engage in various competitions."

"I've also heard that some senior members of the Conservative Party think the departure tax is unreasonable...

This is of course unreasonable for foreign investors. If I want to take away the money I earned through my real skills, why should I pay a huge additional tax?

Only the federal government in the world has such unreasonable regulations.

If the Conservative Party can push forward the cancellation or modification of the departure tax law, it will be a good thing of great significance to foreign investors.

Of course, the higher-ups know very well about this kind of thing. Anyone who dares to act arbitrarily is the enemy!

The departure tax traps a lot of funds in the federation. If they are used for business consumption or all expenses in the federation, then one dollar is still one dollar.

But once their funds leave the federation, they will only have fifty cents per dollar left, and it may be even less!

So this is a good thing, a good policy with only advantages and no disadvantages.

If the Conservative Party really wants to change this policy, then the entire federal society will not give them a good look!

The reason why they say this is simply that they want to get more funds from foreign capital and let their own people come to power first.

After the conservative president came to power, many things became easier to solve.

As for some things that were promised to be solved but have not yet been solved, isn't it because of re-election and the next general election?

How about continuing to support us?

But regardless of whether they were joking or not, using these words as a cover has attracted a lot of funds.

In particular, they put the focus of development back at home, which is very important to many neutral countries.

As long as the Federation does not continue to cause trouble internationally and threaten their rule, they are willing to spend a little money to buy peace.

Giving money directly will definitely not work, but there is no problem in promoting the Conservative Party with such ideas to come to power.

As the conservative party receives more and more support from abroad, the pressure on the Progressive Party to win the election will also increase.

The election campaign is a process of brainwashing. Traditional party camp states do not need to be too nervous. Swing states are their main battlefields.

People in swing states have a simple view of the general election. They will vote for whoever can benefit them.

It just so happens that the current Conservative Party has abundant funds and can use it to attract the attention of a large number of voters.

The Progressive Party is a bit different. The expansion of international affairs will not directly reflect the domestic people's livelihood.

They also lack deep funding.

The six major federal banks rarely participate in elections.

Firstly, it is because for them, no matter who becomes the president, they can shake their status in the federal economic and financial fields.

Secondly, if the six major banks fail, it will easily make the election get out of control.

After all, the banks are too damn rich, and the campaign itself is a money-burning process!

Voters are simple and stupid sometimes. Just give them a roast chicken and a glass of beer and they will vote for you!

Therefore, banks do not participate in order to avoid escalating competition.

The more capital you invest, the less willing you are to bear the consequences of failure, resulting in an inability to end.

But Lynch is different. Although he is the seventh largest bank, he owns more than just banks!
