Mayor Langdon..., no, he should be called Congressman Langdon now.

After a series of political exchanges, Mr. Langdon finally became a member of Congress as he wished.

This is a change that is not easy to calculate, and it is difficult to say whether such a result is appropriate.

If you look at it purely from the perspective of controlling power, the mayor's power is obviously much higher than that of the members of Congress.

It may sound a bit unrealistic, but this is precisely the most realistic situation in federal politics.

A mayor holds most of the power in a city.

He can ask the police chief to act according to his own ideas, he can ask the militia to obey his command when necessary, and he can formulate the future development direction and urban planning of a city of hundreds of thousands of people.

The fate of hundreds of thousands of people, their joys, sorrows and joys are firmly in the hands of the mayor.

When he wants to make people unhappy, everyone will cry with sadness.

When he wants to make people happy, everyone will laugh loudly to suit his wishes.

What do members of Congress have?

There is nothing, except voting in Congress, their work is related to committees, but even in these committees, no one member has the final say.

Many members vote and then decide who to listen to.

They can formulate laws and policies one by one, affecting the entire country and even the international political landscape, but this is expressed in a "whole" form.

If you narrow the lens down to individuals, they actually don’t have that much power.

Not only do people not necessarily respect them, but sometimes some angry people will rush in front of them and point their noses in and curse them, in response to them passing some proposals that may seem ridiculous.

Being a member of Congress may not seem like a good idea, but why does everyone like to be a member of Congress?

On the one hand, there are too few positions such as mayor and governor, and they are firmly in the hands of the two major parties. Not everyone can become mayor, and network skills and funds are indispensable.

Secondly, councilors make more money than the mayor.

If there is a large amount of funds coming from the mayor, it is very likely that the internal affairs department and the Anti-Duty Crime Investigation Bureau will be alerted, but the councilors are different.

As long as you sit in the conference room of the Capitol Building at the beginning of each meeting, someone will pay astonishing amounts of money into the accounts of members of Congress through various legal methods, without affecting themselves.

What they have to do won't even bring a reproach on their conscience - just cast an inconsequential vote when necessary.

Regardless of whether they are against, in favor or abstaining, as long as it meets the requirements of the capitalists, they will not be stingy with the money in their pockets.

Langdon, who has just become a full-time assistant, is actively developing connections. He has served the old congressman for a long time.

In the end, the old congressman had to leave the job he loved due to health reasons, and nominated his assistant, Langdon, to take over his job.

In addition, Langdon received support from the governor and the party through interest exchange, so after a fair and impartial vote for this position, everyone recognized Langdon's work ability and made him the new Congressman.

Everything is based on his outstanding personal ability that makes everyone choose him. There is absolutely no secret operation and everything is in compliance with the rules of the federation.

From the first day he took office, Langdon felt the importance of this job and the heavy burden on his shoulders. He vowed to guard this position for the rest of his life, serve the people of the Federation, and learn from the old congressmen.

…

Having just come out of the Capitol, Langdon was still thinking about an issue he discussed not long ago.

The Duncan family is blowing the whistle and hoping they can pass a proposal called the Overseas Security Act.

Langdon hasn't read the proposal yet, but he has already felt the sincerity of the Duncan family.

To put it in a manner that is full of written language style - it is indeed the Duncan family!

Just by blowing the whistle, the foundation in which he holds shares has achieved a profit. Although the money is not a lot, only 20,000 yuan, it means that they are not short of money and are not afraid of spending money.

This was the first time Langdon saw someone generous enough to give money before something was done or even expressed.

People say that Congress is the back garden of capitalists. Langdon didn't quite understand it when he was mayor down there, but now he understands it.

Not only the back garden, but also the back garden of Sky City.

Just thinking about these things, he got into his new car, a luxury car that seemed low-key but actually had a very luxurious interior.

He didn't spend a penny on this car because he had done some on-the-spot investigation not long ago and cleaned up the dirty water people poured on it for a company.

Some people reported that a heavy industry had serious environmental pollution and that its sewage discharge did not meet federal standards.

Langdon paid attention to this matter immediately and launched a thorough investigation.

It was finally determined that this was a malicious report and there was no pollution. When the reporters from the TV station held up cameras and cameras and filmed the person in charge of the factory scooping up a glass of water from the sewage outlet and drinking it, people believed it.

There are always some people in this society who hate the rich. They always feel that this is an injustice in the world, so they will abuse some of the supervisory rights given to them by society.

Fortunately, Congressman Langdon found the truth and presented it to the public, so this company was not affected.

As a thank you, the company donated a cheap car to Mayor Langdon free of charge to thank him for everything he has done for the people.

There is no money and rights transaction involved, and the ownership of the car actually belongs to the company. They give away at least the right to use it. Look, everything is legal.

The car quickly merged into the traffic. He was thinking about something while driving.

By the time he returned to his mansion, it was already past four in the afternoon.

This is the good thing about the job of a member of Congress. Time allocation depends on the individual, and the working place is very free.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As soon as he got out of the car, he saw the car parked next to him, and there was a person he was very familiar with sitting in the car, Lin Qi.

"You didn't tell me you were coming!" Congressman Langdon was still very happy when he saw Lynch. In his eyes, Lynch was also a big capitalist and one of his partners.

In addition, he and Lynch have a good personal relationship, so Lynch's sudden visit is not unacceptable.

Lynch greeted him, and after shaking hands, the two entered Congressman Langdon's home together.

This is a single-family house located in the upper town of Bupen. It has front and rear gardens, a swimming pool and half a basketball court, covering an area of ​​about 600 to 700 square meters.

The price of this house is not cheap, but it is the same for members of Congress. Real estate developers will always find ways to give houses to important people for almost no money.

For example, "lottery", such as "a model house that no one has visited", such as "participating in an auction with only one person"...

They have plenty of ways to solve these problems, so it is no longer news to the federal people that these politicians live in mansions worth hundreds of thousands or even millions.

It's news that they don't live in those mansions, if any congressman lives in a cheap apartment down the road and wears popular brands, people will just think it's a fucking show!

"Sit down, do you want something to drink?" As soon as the two entered the room, a maid came to help them take off their clothes and put away their clothes.

This is a maid in her forties, unattractive, old and ordinary.

Members of Congress have privileges in many aspects and can enjoy various benefits that people may or may not know, but they must also strictly abide by some rules that ordinary people do not need to do.

For example, "Keep your family without problems and make family members look very harmonious."

So even if those congressmen live in houses worth hundreds of thousands or millions, they will not hire young and beautiful female servants to cause trouble to themselves. They will hire some middle-aged women from poor families to work, and by the way they can also

Earn some praise from people.

Lynch looked around for a while, then sat on the sofa, "Whatever, bar!"

The room was very warm, and Langdon sat down with a wine glass and a bottle of wine, "I've always wanted to chat with you, but you're always busy, and so am I. Either you're not here at Bupen, or I'm not here."

, I seem to be lucky today."

He handed the wine glass to Lynch, and the two clinked their glasses and took a sip.

"I came here today to ask you something. Do you know about the Overseas Security Act?"

Langdon was a little surprised, "You also know about this?" He said and walked to the cabinet nearby, took out his briefcase, took out a document and handed it to Lynch, "Maybe what you are looking for is

it."

Lin Qi said thank you, took the document and read it.

During the conference call, Mr. Geruno was obviously unwilling to go into the details of this proposal. In their words, people who have the ability to know will know it without them saying it, and those who are not qualified to know do not need to know it.

.

This is also a way of screening. After all, in addition to some big forces, there are also many speculators and small forces in the entire joint development company. These people cannot get into the eyes of big shots.

Lin Qi opened the document in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The content of this document is not much. The core is that Geruno and some congressmen believe that the federal government is not actively sending troops overseas to protect the safety of businessmen when doing business.

Life safety, and property safety.

Of course, they do not mean to blame the federal government. After all, the federal government has a relatively positive image internationally.

Businessmen want to protect their various security overseas by building their own armed forces.
