In the Baylor Federation, according to official statements, the one with the most power was first and foremost the chief judge of the city court, who represented law and justice.
Next are the Speakers of the State Houses of Assembly, and then the Councilors, who are the only ones who can get policy support for a city, or even pass local laws and regulations, in the political arena where the entire state is the "chessboard".
Next comes the mayor, whose powers are officially limited to managing the development of a city, and who is simply a manager elected by the citizens of a city to serve the people.
See, the proud citizens don't even refer to him as the mayor at times like this, but only as the manager of the city.
But in reality such official statements can never be relied upon, it's like when this Conservative Party President said he was going to accomplish health care reform and education reform before he came to power, one simply can't listen to such words as if they were true, as much as one would like them to be true, and they are really nice words to hear.
The most powerful person in a city is the mayor, and while he is indeed the elected administrator of the people, he controls every aspect of a city, and in order to preserve the face of the people, as well as to give these stupid citizens a sense of involvement, and a sense of honor, so that they continue to support the mayor's presidency, the politicians will say that it is the people who have given the mayor the power for the time being.
Touching and tearful. Isn't it?
When a city's well-deserved NO.1 praises someone in public, it's definitely not just a random thought, it must have political significance.
Many people would say not to over-interpret a politician's performance, but in reality it's not that people want to over-interpret it, it's that politicians always use this way to express a deeper meaning, which makes it impossible not to interpret it.
Under the limelight, the expression on Lynch's face became even more humble and easygoing.
The handsome big boy could always be pleasing to the eye, and he also had some more shyness on his face, the smile plus some shyness made anyone who was on his face not be able to find any bit of aggression in his body, and instead, they would feel some good feelings towards him.
Especially for people who had already gained some success, lifting up their juniors was something they preferred to do, everyone had a gene for being a good teacher in their bones, and when they met a good student, this gene would explode.
Then there were people who chimed in and praised Lynch's achievements during this period of time, many of them knew Lynch, and from the newspapers and from their friends' mouths, it wasn't hard to find out some things that could be said.
These people concurred while looking at the mayor or Lynch with affable smiles on their faces, the sincerity in the smiles on their faces made it possible for people o be moved to shed tears.
Another centerpiece of today's meeting, the governor's personal officer looked at Lynch and then at the mayor in surprise, his gaze quickly returned to Lynch, and he also reached out to slap his arm, "I thought the Lynch you were talking about would be a middle-aged man!"
It was like someone always said not to over-interpret the performance of some politicians, but at this moment, what the governor's staffer was really trying to express wasn't really being surprised at Lynch's youth, but rather spreading an attitude, an attitude that Lynch was favored by him and even by the governor.
"He has gotten such amazing achievements at such a young age, what a marvelous young man, the governor and I both like him very much!" --That's what he's trying to show, and what the over-interpretation comes out as.
Of course, it would have been a disaster if it had been the other way around, such as "I thought you'd be younger," which would have meant, "Only young people who don't know any better could have done such a stupid thing, and you've lived to be a dog's age."
Well, missing this node to exercise his brain thinking, Lynch owed a bow to show his modesty and respect to the other party.
The next part of the conversation was a more normal one, and the officer talked about the content related to the "Second-hand Commodity Auction and Trade Fair" that Lynch was operating: "I've heard about it, and I've been following it with my colleagues for some time, and I've also seen your report."
He said here and paused for a moment, this was to give Lynch and the others some time to accept and understand, before continuing, "The governor is very interested in the constructive ideas you have put forward, and your trade fairs these past few periods have been well organized, and I've heard that the turnover is very satisfactory?"
"Yes ...", Lynch nodded his head, in fact up to now no matter if it was the other people or this personal officer, they didn't introduce his name to Lynch, so Lynch just needed to bow his head.
"That's good!" , the pro-attendant officer's hand gently half-supported and half-grasped Lynch's arm, and looked to the others, "I don't know if you guys understand, but I have to say that this is a great idea and thought."
"The current situation in the Federation has obviously gone a bit awry under the care of our 'Iron Wall President', and the difficulty I'm not just with us, the entire Federation community is in this difficult time."
"At this time we should put aside our preconceived notions, look beyond the horizon, and unite together so that we can get through this together."
His hand duly lowered, and Lynch voluntarily stepped aside, at this point he vaguely knew what was going on, while the governor's personal officer was still continuing to speak.
"Mr. Lynch has found a new way for us with his surprisingly thought-provoking way of thinking, and has accomplished his quest for profit while being able to relieve the people of the stress of living and reduce their living expenses."
"Even His Excellency, the Governor, was very complimentary about it, and he believes that more people like Mr. Lynch should come along here who can help us and our people get through the current difficulties, instead of ambling over to the people and sucking the blood out of them."
He paused again and held up a finger, and it certainly wasn't the middle finger, "Gentlemen, please understand one thing, the difficulties are not just for the common people, they are for us as well."
"Only unity will enable us to overcome difficulties ..."
Standing in the crowd, Lynch watched with his glass of wine as the mayor and the governor's personal officer spoke some lofty words in front of the participants, and he had gradually come to understand something.
It had something to do with Ferrell's last talk about the Ristoan group and the attitude of their group president, Ferrell had talked about Ristoan's president Neo and the mayor having some unpleasantness in casual conversation, and he had just casually mentioned it.
Later Lynch flipped through the newspaper and found something that had something to do with the Ristoan Group, a group of companies that spanned three cities but was headquartered in Sabine.
Their main revenue came from "clothes" and "food", and the Ristoan Group had more than a hundred different clothing brands under its name, as well as a number of fast food and restaurant chains across the country, with a total of more than a hundred stores, contributing a large amount of tax revenue to Sabine every year. a large amount of tax revenue for the city of Sabine every year.
But they actually started browbeating the Conservative Party, and after the escalation of the conflict between President Neo and His Excellency the Mayor, the Mayor reported what was happening here to the higher echelons of the Progressive Party, and the party felt that the Mayor was not at fault, but that the fault lay with Ristoan's excessive greed.
In order to prevent the mayor's authority and prestige from being affected by Ristoan's problems, and to warn Neo and his people, the governor's personal officer suddenly visited Sabine, and used Lynch's Mobile auction as an example of the need for "unity" and the necessity of "unity".
This was a warning to the Ristoan Group that if they didn't "unite" with everyone in time, the one who would be left behind would not be the mayor, but the Ristoan Group.
Lynch in the crowd had a happy and excited smile on his face as he continued to sip his wine, he knew he had drunk a little too much and the alcohol was starting to affect his perception of the outside world through his bloodstream, making him dizzy, but he had to say that he liked the feeling.
He liked the feeling of participating in the game, everyone around him became a participant in the game, he may not be very famous now, but he believed that in the future, he will certainly be promoted to the "final", in the most noble, the most shining stage, and those top politicians, capitalists on the same stage, it will be very interesting.
A person playing development is too boring, only this kind of fight to fight, can make life more taste, more color!
The "game" started by Lynch no longer have Lynch's shadow, his current status, value, grade, not enough to participate in this level of struggle, but he does not have to worry about his own involvement, the governor's personal officer said, the governor admired Lynch and his career.
At least for a short period of time, he didn't need to worry about someone laying a hand on him.
Just as Lynch was gradually being "excluded" to the outer layer of the circle, someone approached him with a glass of wine in his hand, "I am very interested in your current businesses, and I have the audacity to ask, do you accept investment?"
When some other people around him heard these words, their attention was immediately pulled back from the core of the circle to Lynch and this person beside him, who glanced at the other person and surprisingly nodded his head.
They took it for granted that Lynch wouldn't nod his head, because any business that could make money, of course it was best to make money all by yourself, and Lynch was still very young, young people would have some temperament that belonged to young people.
But people did not expect that Lynch actually nodded his head, which made the people around a little stupid, even the governor praised the business, it is not just a simple business to make money, it also has a very important political value.
Lynch also felt that these people were quite cute, he was still thinking about how to obtain funds to support his stall as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that there would actually be people who would immediately come to send money.
Of course he also understood the purpose of these people, but it didn't conflict with his goal in any way.
He wasn't planning to use the governor's influence to do something, he only wanted to make money.
More money!
