Chapter 75: Chasing the Wolf and Chasing the Tiger (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Hearing this name, Roger's hand that was applying the medicine paused and asked a little strangely,
“Old guy, you’re about to be buried and you’re starting to care about politicians?”
"I just want to know about the candidate for the next mayor to see if there will be some policies that are beneficial to us elderly people," He Ao replied slowly, "I heard that Christos is the favorite to be the next mayor.
Candidate?"
"Your information is obviously inaccurate," Roger shook his head while applying medicine to He Ao. "There is a high probability that our current Mayor Vent will be re-elected."
He pursed his lips and motioned He Ao to look at the window aside.
He Ao looked in the direction of his gaze, and his narrow gaze fell on the billboard with the huge portrait of Mayor Winter outside the window.
"These politicians all need money to give speeches, provide benefits, organize teams, and place advertisements. Where does the money come from? How much are their salaries? Isn't it given by the consortium?" Roger said to He Ao slowly.
medicine,
"The consortium obviously prefers our Mayor Vent. The man named Christos received too few resources.
You see, old man, you only know the name of Christos, but you don’t know anything about what he has done or his policies. Although our mayor has been in power for eight years, although he has not made any great achievements, he has made great achievements.
No fault.
A person who is in power is stable and has a lot of advertisements and propaganda constantly making you look familiar, and a person who is not famous and you don’t even understand the policies he promotes. When two people stand in front of you and ask you to choose, you will end up voting
Who to vote for?”
If it were Regit, he would vote for the current mayor Vent.
This is what most people think, and it is also the reason why He Ao has always believed that Wente will be re-elected, but he is not here to learn about the election now. There is indeed not much news about Christos in Reggit's memory, but he
Know that Christos appears to be Vent's main rival.
That's why he asked a well-informed person like Roger about Christos' situation.
Of course, you can also search for news on the Internet, but there are only two kinds of news about Christos on the Internet.
The first type is the character created by the Christos campaign team, a person who is sunny, just, somewhat humorous, and dedicated to dedicating his life to Chenxi City.
The second type is the various true or false negative news about Christos’s private life, scandals, and erotic stories brought out by his political opponents.
The information on the Internet has obviously been sorted by people, and people see the information they want others to see, so He Ao chose to directly ask well-informed people like underground doctors.
Roger had a good relationship with him, so there was no need to deceive him. Moreover, this guy had good medical skills and knew many people. There was a high probability that he had some inside information.
Howe needed to have a clear portrait of Christos.
He looked at Roger and smiled, "So what is his governing philosophy? Does it have anything to do with us old guys?"
Roger was stunned for a moment, then stood up, walked towards the glass jar and scraped out new black ointment, and said with a smile, "Old man, didn't you wash your hands in a golden basin? What fatal mission did you accept again?"
Then, without giving He Ao time to answer, he continued, "Christos, if he really becomes the mayor, it will be a good thing for an old guy like you who is about to die."
Then he asked with He Ao's confused eyes, "Have you heard of the medical system reform ten years ago?"
"I've heard of it."
He Ao nodded.
Reggie had this memory in his mind. Ten years ago, Reggie had hoped to heal his injured leg again, but at that time he no longer had enough money to pay for the medical expenses, and no insurance company was willing to sell it to a cripple like him.
Insurance that covers treatment of injured legs.
So he has been working here and there, trying to save enough for medical expenses.
Ten years ago, the then mayor proposed a medical reform plan, which included lowering medical insurance costs, universalizing universal medical insurance, government control of medical prices, reducing medical expenses, etc.
At that time, Ruijite was looking forward to it for a while. If this plan became popular, he would have hope of treating his injured leg. But then the plan fell into disuse and there was no follow-up.
In fact, with Ridgit's force, his income was not low. In his peak period, his weekly salary was even as high as 3,000. However, even so, he could not collect the medical expenses for treating his injured leg in a short period of time, and later missed the final payment.
It was the best time for treatment, but he has been limping.
Later, as his body got older, he gave up his mind and found a stable job as a librarian, focusing on practicing martial arts.
"Does this have anything to do with Christos?"
He Ao sorted out the memories in his mind and asked slowly.
"He was the one who came up with this plan back then," Roger walked up to He Ao again with the medicine in hand.
"He was a member of the then mayor's campaign team. After the mayor was elected, he served as the Minister of Health and Human Services in Chenxi City. You know, federal medical care is completely controlled by the medical consortium and the medical insurance consortium. This
The department is basically a department with little power.
But he came up with a health care reform plan and got the support of the mayor."
"Sounds like a capable man," He Ao looked at him, "It seems he didn't succeed?"
"What good will happen to someone who offends both the medical consortium and the medical insurance consortium at the same time?" Roger laughed.
"Not long after he came up with this plan, a large number of scandals about the mayor at the time appeared on the Internet, and the parliament also began to prepare for the impeachment of the mayor. In the end, the mayor was frightened and quickly shelved his plan and transferred him to a new job.
It was a sinecure, and he resigned not long after."
Roger narrated calmly while applying medicine to He Ao,
"Since then, he has begun to participate in political activities in his personal capacity. Because of the previous medical reform, although he provoked the medical consortium and the medical insurance consortium, he has received support from some consortiums that want to enter the medical industry. Of course, these consortiums also
I don’t really support him, I just support him as a bargaining chip to threaten the medical consortium and the medical insurance consortium.”
Roger found a new roll of gauze and began to bandage He Ao again.
"This is his third time running for mayor. He was not elected twice before. So although he is very powerful, second only to the current Mayor Wente, the probability of being elected mayor is very low, and the consortium will not completely
support him."
"But he really wants to be mayor and will seize every opportunity."
He Ao gradually had a portrait of Christos in his mind.
Christos seems to be in bloom, but in fact he is a man of fire, so he will seize every opportunity, and may even bet on small-probability events.
After the young man mentioned the word 'mayor', He Ao was thinking, what should he do when the matter involves a tiger that may not be able to resist for the time being?
Who would risk life and death to challenge a tiger?
Now it seems that a hungry wolf on the edge of the cliff may be able to do it.
Christos was able to reach his current position step by step in such a crack, and I am afraid that he is not a docile and kind-hearted lamb.
He is the hungry wolf walking on the edge of the cliff.
Drive away wolves and tigers.
When things came to this point, He Ao already knew that he could not escape.
Because according to his understanding of Naja, Naja will definitely kill him.
And he wanted to avenge Naja who sent his machine gunmen to kill him.
This trouble must be solved quickly so that he can have time to investigate the strange beast.
Roger, who was being bandaged, looked at the silver-haired old man in front of him, and he vaguely noticed a color that he had never seen before in the old man.
