To comment on the federal people in a relatively beautified way, it can be said that the life and work of the federal people are very orderly.
What to do from nine to ten o'clock on Monday morning, what to do from ten to ten fifteen... until the second before leaving get off work, they had planned in advance.
Not just a one-day schedule, but a week-long schedule or even more.
But if you look at it from another angle, this is rigid and does not know how to adapt.
Like federal health care.
Even if you are about to die of illness, you are not dead yet.
Regular hospitals will require you to go to your personal doctor to issue a basic diagnosis first, and then call the relevant departments of the hospital to make an appointment for an in-person consultation.
The department will arrange for you to receive diagnosis and treatment at the nearest time. If you are lucky, it may be tomorrow, but if you are not lucky, it may be a week later.
As for whether you are going to die of illness, it doesn’t matter what you say, you need a diagnosis from your personal doctor!
He thinks you're going to die, so you're going to die!
What?
can not wait anymore?
You can go to the emergency room. Of course, many emergency medicines and treatment equipment are non-guaranteed medicines and medical services, and the prices are slightly more expensive...
It's the same thing with federal agencies. No matter what you're going to do, first you have to make an appointment.
This has become a code of conduct in federal society, almost from top to bottom.
Even selling smuggled alcoholic drinks requires reservations!
If you want to jump in line, you not only have to pay a certain price, but it will also be very expensive.
If Mr. Chunky wants to meet Lynch in advance, he will have to pay more.
Senator Langdon was drinking coffee. As the core of the York Gang and Lynch's loyal friend, he was also qualified to participate in the "wealth feast" organized by Lynch for his friends.
However, he commissioned a stock brokerage company to short the Federal Industrial Index in advance——
Why not work directly on the corresponding stocks?
That is too targeted. In essence, there is no "legal issue" in this kind of behavior, but if someone insists on saying that he has obtained some inside information, it is suspected of illegal trading.
This is not easy to handle.
The federal government will enter the jury system for cases of great influence or criminal cases.
The judge is only responsible for the final pronouncement of guilt and innocence, as well as the punishment if guilty, and is not responsible for "deciding" whether the defendant is guilty or not.
A congressman is suspected of possible financial crimes, and the person who turned him in is very likely to push for a jury trial, so this is the worst-case scenario.
The members of the jury are all from the lower class of society with low education. They do not understand the law and have no communication with the upper class. From a certain perspective, they even have very serious dissatisfaction with the upper class!
There is obviously no evidence, or the evidence is insufficient, but their sensibilities will make them guilty.
The simplest truth - if you are not guilty, how could you be so accurate in shorting this stock before it plummeted?
There are so many listed companies in the Federation, why do you short this one stock?
See, does it make sense for a jury to not admit evidence at all when deciding guilt or innocence, all based on emotion!
Therefore, Senator Langdon directly shorted the Federal Industrial Index, which was safe and reliable, and perhaps the profit was not as much as that of targeted short selling.
But doing this is better than safety!
Looking at the industrial index slowly going down, the floating profits are increasing, and there are more smiles on his face.
Since becoming a member of Congress, everything seems to have become better.
The sudden ringing of the phone surprised him, but he still picked up the phone and announced his home.
"Senator Langdon, I am...", the short and fat gentleman was also looking at the real-time trading of stocks.
For example, Senator Langdon's demureness contained some ease, but he was just sweating profusely.
In winter, I'm sweating profusely.
Senator Langdon asked slowly, "What's the matter?"
His tone is very gentle, his speaking speed is not fast, and his enunciation is clear, which can give people a lot of good impressions.
It's just that Mr. Chunky is no longer in the mood to feel this.
There was a fire in his heart that was burning his body!
"I want to see Mr. Lynch as soon as possible. Mr. Lynch also promised to meet in two days, but I hope it can be earlier."
"As long as I can see Mr. Lynch today, I will add thirty more to the previous conditions."
A villa plus 500,000 yuan, just to be able to see Lynch as soon as possible!
Sometimes you think your evaluation is already very high, as high as the sky.
But in fact, some people are much taller than you can see!
Thinking of what Lynch had said to him before, he was silent for a while, "I'll talk to Mr. Lynch first."
The pudgy gentleman breathed a huge sigh of relief, "I'm waiting for your news. My phone number is..."
Senator Langdon jotted down the number in the newspaper at hand, and then called Lynch to talk about the matter.
He actually knew that the pudgy gentleman wanted to see him earlier.
But when he opened his mouth, he asked another question, "How many benefits does he promise to give you?"
Senator Langdon did not dare to hide it, "Fifty million, plus a villa in the suburbs."
There are expensive and cheap villas in the suburbs of Bupen. They are located in some good areas, and are surrounded by celebrities and dignitaries.
A villa costs at least seven to eight hundred thousand, one million or more.
But if there are no celebrities and dignitaries around, and it is just an ordinary middle-class villa area, then the price of a villa will only be four to five million.
Some not-so-good villas even only cost 300,000 yuan!
The social culture of the Federation is here. A single-family house in the remote suburbs of Sabine City only costs 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, but a large apartment in the most prosperous area of the city center costs more than 200,000 yuan.
The area where the house is located and the social class of the community are very important added values and the core value manifestation.
The villa that Mr. Pumpty is selling should not be too bad.
In order to meet Lin Qi, he was willing to pay almost one million in benefits.
In fact, he had no choice but to give up. Every time the stock fell by 1%, his worth would evaporate by 1%.
Just this call, he already lost almost two million!
Who knows what will happen after three days, but it’s all gone anyway, so it’s better to be more generous.
Lynch thought for a while and replied, "Take the benefits, there is no need to struggle with money."
"Tell him that I will give him ten minutes tonight..."
At 100,000 yuan a minute, even the top ace lawyers from the three major law firms said it was too expensive, but for the pudgy gentleman, as long as he could see Lynch, he would be willing to spend more money.
When Senator Langdon asked the pudgy gentleman to get everything ready, the pudgy gentleman breathed a sigh of relief.
Not long after, a lawyer approached Senator Langdon with a briefcase.
His shopping receipt won the grand prize in the company's lottery, which amounted to 850,000 federal soles, and his after-tax income was about 500,000.
Even when Senator Langdon purchased a receipt for a silver spoon, the other party thoughtfully gave it to him.
Later, after a review by Senator Langdon's personal lawyer, the signature was confirmed to be effective, and Senator Langdon signed his name on the document.
"After the information from the tax bureau comes back, the money will be credited to your designated account."
After shaking hands, the lawyer left voluntarily.
In no more than forty-eight hours at most, a bonus of over half a million dollars will be credited to Senator Langdon's account.
Federal officials and capitalists are definitely No. 1 in the world in terms of profit transfer, and it is beyond reproach!
Not only did they come up with random ways to transfer benefits, they even took the initiative to legislate to protect the legality of these transfers of benefits, as well as bilateral security.
After Senator Langdon gave his lawyer a check for five thousand dollars, his lawyer also left.
After the two of them left, Senator Langdon's son walked down the stairs.
Senator Langdon's family has moved here since he came to Buppain and entered Congress.
He and his wife are currently separated, but not divorced, and they are living their own lives.
The main reason why there is no divorce is that apart from the troublesome property division, the more important reason is that he is still a politician.
A politician's divorce will have a very negative impact, more serious than people thinking he accepts bribes!
So there is no divorce for the time being, and their children live with him.
Ten years ago, he had never considered letting his children inherit anything from him.
Because at that time he had nothing, whether it was property, real estate, or power, he could say he had nothing.
He had nothing for his children to inherit, so he was indifferent.
But it's different now, he has money, status, and power.
These things can all be inherited!
Once he had these, he wanted to pass them on to his children.
This has nothing to do with human nature or fatherly love, it is purely the best choice from a profit standpoint.
Because only in this way can he keep these things and continue to enjoy many benefits after retirement.
So his children, live with him.
"What's the matter?", he looked up at his son and asked.
The older boy didn't hesitate and said directly, "Give me some money. I'm going skiing with my girlfriend in two days."
"Skiing?" Senator Langdon's tone rose slightly, "You told me to go skiing in a weather of minus 17 or 18 degrees Celsius?"
When the father and son looked at each other, he first broke away, shook his head, took out his checkbook, signed a check for two hundred yuan and handed it over.
"Sparse it..."
The big boy took the check, glanced at it, and said while pretending, "It's not enough. We won't be back until Sunday from Friday afternoon to Sunday, and we have to stay for two days."
"Just give me another five hundred yuan and that'll be it."
Senator Langdon didn't know how to deal with him, so he signed another check for one thousand dollars and handed it over in silence.
He knew what his son meant, he wanted to sleep with his girlfriend outside.
He really wanted to show that he had something in common with his children, but he never knew how to find it and couldn't find it.
The trends that young people follow change too quickly, whether it is music or social media.
When he saw a check that exceeded his expectations, his son finally showed some smile on his face, "Thank you, I love you, Dad..."
