Starting from the Very Bottom to Become President Chapter 10: Lobbying is a big deal!

No matter where it is, between power and money, between politics and economy, between officials and businessmen, there is no way to cut off the connection with each other. Power will determine the amount of money, and the economy will affect the direction of politics. Officials need businessmen to revitalize this Countries, businessmen also need officials to ensure their rights!

It's just that this kind of cooperation, this kind of connection, is so dirty, how can officials as rulers help businessmen make profits! How can an elected government that makes policies give businessmen the privilege of exploiting the people!

Therefore, the exchange of interests between government and business is absolutely prohibited anywhere! Once any form of corruption is discovered, both parties will be discredited and completely ruined!

From this level, Congressman Philip, the fat Hispanic, did not lie. Maybe he and Donald have never met, but this does not mean that there is no communication between them, and their communication channel is the "lobby" ".

The simplest form of lobbying is a lobbyist hired by Donald to communicate to Philip what Donald wants to do, while promising some financial aid.

Of course, Donald will not admit that he asked Philip for help, and Philip will not admit that he has helped Donald anywhere, all of which are Philip's personal and subjective behavior!

If Philip's votes occasionally go against his usual subjectivity, that's well explained, he's been lobbied!

The eloquent lobbyist understands his reasoning and moves his emotions, and successfully "persuaded" Philip to change his usual opinion! All the lobbyists are Zhuge Liang! Hundreds of Wang Langs can be scolded to death every day!

This is true in principle, but even elementary school students can't be convinced by this statement! Everyone knows that there is interest in it!

But to accuse these, you must catch the illegal part of this system, otherwise it is slander.

Just like Lao Li, what was caught!

There is no doubt that in most cases, he will not be caught, and Lao Li has never been caught for decades.

As for the lobbying between Lao Li and Philip, it is the smallest and most paediatric thing. The lobbyists are just passing through the middle. Most of the real scenes take place in Washington. Congress is the main battlefield. Because of Brady's strong influence in Washington, Lao Li pays them tens of millions of dollars in consulting fees every year!

To put it bluntly, a lobbyist is a broker who travels in the gray area between politics and business. It has existed since ancient times, everywhere. A lobbyist is like a prostitute, an existence that cannot be erased no matter how strong and centralized the rule is!

Lobbyists are in the same situation as prostitutes, which are illegal in most countries! They are a catalyst for corruption and bribery!

But in the US, it's legal! Like some places where prostitutes are legal! Those places will reasonably plan the eighteen prohibited business areas, which will be managed by the government, not by the Mafia or Yamaguchi-gumi. At the same time, physical examinations will be mandatory to ensure the health of every practitioner and prevent the spread of diseases!

In the United States, the same is true for lobbyists, if you can't eliminate this thing, then manage him, monitor him, and minimize his negative impact on society! After all, if lobbying is outlawed, and without this regulated sunshine channel, there may be something even more terrifying in the dark.

Therefore, under the premise of legality, entrepreneur Lao Li can hire Brady to lobby the company to persuade some people to do something, and Anne Hathaway can also hire lobbyists to persuade the Oscar judges to vote for their own ticket!

Legal does not mean connivance. There are countless bills in the law that control the lobbying process. Of course, it is illegal for Lao Li to hand over ten thousand dollars to a lobbyist and let him give it to Philip! Anne-Hayway hinted that it would be illegal to sleep with the judges if she became a queen!

Exactly what is legal, Li Kelin himself doesn't know! That's exactly why he needs Eric's help! That's why those **** lawyers are so valuable!

After sitting down, the new coffee came to the table, and Eric also started some friendly reminders: "Colin, I will explain a few points in advance, there is a non-disclosure agreement between you and me, and everything, whether it is legal or not , I can only bring it into the coffin. Although I say so, if you violate the law related to lobbying, I can report and prosecute, but I know your situation, you must have not read half of the law , so this time, if you have an illegal tendency in your conversation, I won't hear you."

Eric took a sip of coffee and rubbed his ears with a smile: "Even a federal judge would forgive an old man who is intermittently deaf."

"Thank you so much Eric, I just need this, but we don't need to be so complicated." Li Colin smiled, "I will ask if it is illegal to do something, you can just tell me directly, If it is a legal consultation-style interrogative sentence, it will not be involved.”

"Yes." Eric nodded slightly and said immediately, "I can tell you right away that all lobbying involving judges or prosecutors is illegal."

"What if I went to lobby MPs to grant my father bail?"

Eric replied unhurriedly: "This matter itself is legal, but if the congressman does it, it is interfering with the administration and the judiciary, and the poor congressman is breaking the law, and he will go to jail for it. And it will stink forever."

"In reality~IndoMTL.com~Eric?" Li Kelin raised his eyebrows, "Does this kind of interference happen often?"

Eric also raised his eyebrows and smirked, took a sip of coffee without hesitation.

Li Kelin asked again: "After all these years, you must be occasionally not so legal?"

Eric smiled generously: "Looks like I'm going to hire a lawyer to deny this."

Afterwards, Eric made a "please" gesture, politely indicating that he should enter the topic earlier: "Don't worry about these things Colin, if Magneto is to be prosecuted, the judicial system will use half of the US prosecutors And a lawyer is enough to list the charges."

"Haha, sorry for asking too much, I haven't been involved in the group very much, so just treat me as a child eager for knowledge." Li Kelin didn't say much, and finally asked his own theme, "I The real question is, am I eligible to run for state legislature and president?"

Eric's expression didn't change much, just silent for a long, long, long time.

Li Kelin is not in a hurry.

After a long time he asked back: "Are you born before November 1989?"

"Yes."

"Have you been in jail within a year?"

"Although I have committed all kinds of crimes in the newspapers, in fact, I have never violated the law in my life, and I have never even exceeded the speed limit."

Eric nodded: "Then Mr. Lee, no one can stop you from running for president of the United States."
