Blackstone Code Chapter 151: Donations and food vouchers
It may be difficult for some ordinary people to understand that Mark's investment in Interstellar Trading Company on behalf of the mayor, but in fact this is normal, because there are still some things that ordinary people may not even have heard of. occur.
Some people joke that the last second of each general election of the Baylor Federation is the moment when a new consortium is born. The Baylor Federation has a history of more than 300 years since the founding of the state, and a total of fifty-two President.
Why fifty-two, because some presidents accidentally died of serious injuries when they went downstairs, or were blown into the sea by a gust of wind while fishing at the beach and disappeared without a trace, or...
In short, there are always some people who are not so lucky, but it's normal, this is life, isn't it?
Except for these unlucky presidents, there is basically a consortium behind every other president. consortium.
The consortium has supported three politicians to their glorious moment in the federal historical stage, and it is precisely because they have supported three presidents that "Jerry & Days" has more than 100 years of experience. Never had any trouble.
No one knows when they will elect a new president for the federation, the fourth president of their group.
Oh yes, by the way, these three presidents are the son of the founder of Jerry & Dyce, the grandson of his son, and the son of his son's grandson, they are one family!
Political power and capital power are sometimes like water and fire, but sometimes they are indistinguishable from each other. This is the Baylor Federation, a country of freedom and sweetness!
In this way, the mayor's investment in the Interstellar Trading Company becomes less scary, and this is done by his nephew Mark. Lynch believes that if there is a problem, Mark will immediately stand up Apologize to society.
Because he did these terrible things without telling his uncle, his uncle, Mr. Mayor, would never forgive anyone who violated the laws and rules, even if this person was his nephew.
If these terrible things don't happen, if the Interstellar Trading Company can continue to make profits in a relatively suitable way, maybe Lynch and his company will become part of a certain consortium in the future. Of course, the mayor cannot Is the president, the core around which is his superior or superior.
At this time, Lynch had already passed that kind of cynical age. He didn't feel that he was offended, but felt that it was a good thing. After Mark became a shareholder, there were some things that were difficult to do, and he could let Mark do it. .
No one is more suitable for this role than him. Many people think that Mark represents the mayor. Even if there is trouble, he must solve it himself. You can't trouble Mark, because trouble with Mark is equal to trouble with the mayor, but Lynch will not do that. think.
Everyone knows that when Mark represents the mayor, Mark's appearance means the mayor's attitude. He doesn't even say anything, just stand by his side!
Ignore this too small thing, and I don't mention it. The next day, Lynch met with the mayor. This was a charity party. Strictly speaking, this is true. The local society of Sabine City Celebrities are basically on the scene.
There are not too many people, a few hundred people. The upper circle of a city with a population of 800,000 can only accommodate these few hundred people, and about half to one third of them are only because of their male partners or female partners. With the opportunity to enter this hall, they themselves do not have this kind of strength, which will reduce the actual number of upper-class circles.
Lynch sat a little back, his age, his career, and his wealth were not enough for him to get that prominent position in the middle of the first row, but sitting in the back would be beneficial. Yes, at least the small movements of the well-dressed ladies and gentlemen in front of him can be seen by him.
The theme of this evening's charity gala is to help some unemployed people through the current difficulties through donations. The unemployment rate in Sabine has reached a terrible figure of 16%, and some people have starved to death. situation.
This is not a good sign, the city hall, or the mayor used his own energy to suppress the news, but he also realized that the situation really needed to start the political force.
In fact, people starve to death every year. The homeless people on the street are killed by heat in summer and frozen to death in winter. It is normal for them to starve to death from time to time.
A few years ago, there was a tragic report of a homeless man attacking a wild dog, and the result was that the wild dog was eaten by the wild dog. It also caused a short-lived heated discussion in the society. group.
Many people hold the same view when interviewing reporters. The homeless have hands and feet. They can work to support themselves. Even scavenging can make a good enough life for themselves, but they choose to beg. So they don't deserve sympathy.
This time, it was not the homeless who died of starvation, but an unemployed old man who lived alone.
Said he is old, but he is not really old. He is only in his fifties, and he is not old enough to retire.
He originally had a job, but he lost his job four months ago. He wanted a job, couldn't find it, and starved to death in his bed after running out of savings.
If it weren't for his neighbors being affected by the stench, it might take a long time to find out about this, so the mayor also realized that things couldn't be delayed any longer and had to come up with something.
At this time, the mayor stood on the stage. He briefly said the news in a very serious tone. In fact, the celebrities sitting below were also shocked. Some ladies even left a sad message. tears.
Some people are really shocked, but some people are not really sad.
In fact, it is difficult for these people to imagine that an ordinary person will starve to death. The current situation is indeed not as good as it was a few years ago, but should it be so bad?
But the truth is, many people are facing hunger and hardship, and they need people's help.
In the Baylor Federation, it is not that they have not faced similar situations in the past three hundred years. They already have a set of effective methods to solve these problems, at least from the current point of view. Is to distribute food rolls and supply rolls.
In the beginning, people would directly give money to these people, but they soon found out that someone came to claim it, and some people took the money to gamble or squander, and then applied again, so the money relief became food rolls and Supply roll.
The wealth donated by celebrities will be used to buy a large amount of food and some necessities, and then those families in need can receive this subsidy.
It can't make them rich, but at least it can prevent them from starving to death. This is also the limit that the Baylor Federation can currently do. Try not to let more people starve to death.
The generous donation of each rich man is not really how generous they are, but it is a charity evening, and all donations will be "returned" to each benevolent person in a tax-deductible manner. Donor.
At least the full amount is deducted, and there may be excess deduction, so this is not a loss, and it may even make a little money, which is why the top rich are willing to do charity, they need to pay Too much tax, and paying less is a victory.
However, because the tax deduction for charitable donations is also capped, it is not the rich man who decides how to arrange it. Before they attend the charity dinner, their personal accountant will tell them the most appropriate amount to donate.
Everyone seems to care for these needy people from the bottom of their hearts. People donated generously, and Lynch also donated 100,000 yuan, which made many people turn their eyes to this young man. lad.
Perhaps it was Lynch's performance that made him look like a "trustee", and soon some people initiated the second round of donations, and they raised the donations from a few thousand or tens of thousands to at least 30,000 to 50,000. At the level of one hundred and two hundred thousand, they are a little unpredictable. Is this what the mayor meant.
But as long as there is even the slightest chance, they can't risk it.
By the end of the charity gala, the mayor had raised nearly 15 million donations. It has to be said that this has largely solved some of the current problems. In the mayor's final speech, the entire More than 200,000 hungry people in Sabine will be fed by the kindness and kindness of all.
The mayor is ready to leave after the meeting. He has other things to do next. During this time, the problems in the city have made him devastated. Even though Mark has made an absolutely lucrative business, it has not made his face too much. many smiles.
Money can only satisfy material needs, and he yearns for power.
But he still took half a minute to give Lynch, he arranged Lynch last, "I heard Mark said he likes you very much?"
The two are holding hands~IndoMTL.com~ and talking, and no one else can come over. This is etiquette in social situations.
Lynch nodded, "I also like Mark very much, he's a great guy..." He didn't seem to finish his words, which made the mayor a little confused, and urged him to say anything as soon as possible, Because he has a small closed-door meeting to open soon.
Only then did Lynch say the unspoken words later, "Is it too late for me to set up a food factory now?"
The mayor was stunned for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing. He thought Lynch would tell something about Mark or about the transaction last night, but he thought about the thousand in his hand. Five million "donations".
A young man with very unique vision and ideas, the mayor once again affirmed this idea, but he shook his head, "Mark certainly didn't tell you that he already has a food factory...", if he He pointedly said, "I am very optimistic about you, you will become good friends!"
Lynch pouted, "That's really a sad thing. As for me and Mark...", he smiled, "I also believe we can be good friends."
The mayor clapped his hand, stopped talking, and let go. This made some people who didn't have a chance to talk to the mayor at night and wanted to get together very disappointed, but they soon began to look at Lynch Get up, what is the relationship between him and the mayor, why does the mayor leave him the last time?
Some people started trying to get in touch with Lynch, and Lynch turned around and integrated into the reception after the charity gala.
