"Gambling with cash...", a socialite looked at his lawyer, "Is it illegal?", his eyes were a little blank and a little reproachful, if it weren't for these investigation bureau agents holding arrest warrants Find him and he doesn't even know he's broken the law!
His personal lawyer was a little embarrassed and was constantly calling his colleagues for help.
Lawyers are the representatives of legal moneymaking in people's eyes. Behind every wealthy divorce case, it means that a lawyer has received a huge commission, especially those well-known barristers, who draw commissions based on a percentage of the amount involved, regardless of winning or losing. .
They always live in the spotlight and run counter to social moral conscience. For money, these people can sell their souls to the devil, such as the representative figure Mr. Kevin.
But people never know what price they need to pay to have such a life!
The empire's current system gives local governments a great deal of autonomy, especially in legal matters. On the basis of abiding by the Charter and the Basic Law of the Empire, local governments can also formulate local bills with local characteristics by taking into account the actual local conditions.
For example, in most cities, brewing moonshine is illegal, but in Ilian, as long as you pay taxes and have a legal license, it is legal to brew any amount of alcoholic beverages, but they are limited to local sales.
Dulin used this law to brew alcoholic beverages legally and sold them legally to agents in the Ilian region. Then the agents illegally used smuggling channels to smuggle these alcoholic beverages that were originally legal but became illegal again. Moonshine was shipped everywhere.
The strange local laws have always been a headache for lawyers. Major law firms have also made corresponding arrangements for these situations. Some people specialize in the laws of a certain state and set up special offices to deal with various situations. Condition.
Some cases may result in heavy sentencing in some states, but may result in acquittal in some states. Every lawyer must understand the contents of some unique local laws to ensure his chances of winning, and to convince his clients to let them put their money away. into one's own pocket.
But the lawyer obviously didn't know that in Odis, the only city in the empire where gambling can be done openly without breaking the law, it is actually illegal to gamble with cash.
It's like telling people that you can sing here, but they don't tell people the following - you can't make a sound when you sing here.
After asking several colleagues, the lawyer hung up the phone. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He nodded, "Yes, sir, I have confirmed that there is such a provision in the local bill of Otis City." One…”
This is also a bill Dulin submitted to maintain the bargaining chip system. Because the regional management agency of the special administrative region is directly responsible to the cabinet, a new bill submitted by the city of Otis does not need to be passed by the state parliament, as long as the Ministry of Justice believes that it is not nonsense. pass.
In other words, this is a lesser-known, more sideline local bill, and it works.
The two detectives showed hateful smiles on their faces, and they took out the handcuffs, "Sir, if you are unwilling to cooperate with our summons, then we can only use coercive measures, please don't make it difficult for us! "
Dulin's explanation to Weber was to arrest these people directly, but Weber compromised and invited them using a less forceful summons method, which at least would not offend people too much.
Thinking of the list of big names on the list, even if Weber decided to hug Dulin's lap, he still had a slight tremor in his heart. If he really offends all these people, I am afraid that even if Du Lin takes care of him, it will be difficult for him to continue to be his mayor with peace of mind.
And cutting off one's own retreat for the sake of other people's affairs is not what a smart person should do.
The socialite could only sigh and, accompanied by his lawyer and two detectives, went to the investigative bureau in the city of Otis.
Similar things kept happening in the offices of CEOs of major companies or the offices of certain government officials. Weber's sudden outburst made some people realize that even if Chap died, the matter was not over, which made them a little confused. upset.
It would have been better if he had known better than to kill Chap. After all, Chap's mouth was tight enough. As long as he kept his mouth shut and dealt with the investigation team, they would be safe. At that time, with their influence, it might not be impossible to delay the case indefinitely.
Even if they have to solve the case in the end, they can still choose the plan with the least loss. Unlike now, not only did they not get away with the crime, but they also got themselves trapped.
The breakthrough news from Otis City allowed Dulin to finally withdraw his attention from there. The next thing he had to face was the zero round of polls in the Ambiro region.
To put it bluntly, opinion polls are a group of people conducting random interviews on the street, and finally determine the trend of the people being surveyed, and then use a small group of people to represent the position of the entire state. This is also a very irresponsible approach. After all, a poll of 5,000, 10,000, or 20,000 people cannot truly represent the opinions of the entire state, but that is what most politicians are doing now.
Two reasons. The first reason is that everyone is accumulating strength. The current polls are of little significance and are suitable for the majority to be represented by a small group. The second reason is still a matter of funding. Filling out every questionnaire means that Expenditures range from more than a dollar to a few dollars.
Starting next year, there will be a poll every month. If the number of samples is too large, it will waste too much campaign funds of the campaign team, which is inappropriate. Instead of using the money for polling, it might be more effective to spend it on propaganda.
Du Lin doesn't care what others do, he needs the most detailed data. After all, this is the first time in his life... to run for election.
Dulin's nervousness is actually necessary, but it is meaningless. The reason why it is necessary is that people need to know how to be reverent. As for the meaningless principle, it is because he is too rich.
Just providing free educational resources is enough to make most people in the entire state vote for him. The poorer the place, the more aware it is of the importance of knowledge, and the less able it is to go to school. Now that Dulin has given them the only hope, what else can they do besides support
Secondly, compared with the small gifts of survey notes from other organizations, Dulin’s gift is really generous. Hersman once told Dulin that giving certain gifts when conducting polls will help improve the number of respondents. The tendency of selected individuals in filling out questionnaires.
Humans are social animals with herd characteristics. When most people prefer a certain person, a herd mentality will naturally occur.
The results of the first poll before the start of the election campaign were very promising. Dulin led the gubernatorial race list with only two participants in total with an extremely high support rate of 77.6%.
"But you can't be proud, Mr. Dulin!" Hersmann reminded Dulin after the poll results came out. "We can't relax until the last moment. In the past thirty years, there have been After a few times, it can almost be called a miraculous comeback, just like you used to criticize those lying politicians in front of the media. Lying will not become a moral burden for them. As long as they can win, lying is not important!”
Hersmann is very aware of the virtues of those politicians. Even though the old party candidates have not launched any publicity campaign yet, they seem to be just going through the motions, hoping that the old party committee will not give up their last hope and efforts, but who knows? Will this guy make big news in the last two or three months
Just like what he said to Dulin just now, lying when necessary is just to ensure political correctness. Politicians who lie in the eyes of the people have deceived them and are a bad villain. However, in the collective consciousness of the political party, such people who sacrifice their personal morality to maintain the victory of the party are worthy of protection.
Everyone has different positions and perspectives, and naturally the way they look at things is also different. Logically speaking, so many lying politicians should be doomed, but those politicians who habitually lie and can restore their image after being discovered are the real elites. They understand this game better than others. How to play and how to win is more suitable for living in this environment.
"More than 80% of the people in this poll are worried about the security and medical care in Ambiro State. We will start from here in the first and second quarters." Then Hersman arranged for Dulin. Regarding the tasks for the first and second quarters of next year, he once again warned, "Don't break big news again, such as free medical care or something. This is actually not a good thing for you. You know what I mean. ?"
Dulin nodded, "Okay, if I have any ideas in this regard, I will tell you in advance."
Hersman shook his head quickly, "No, no, no, you still don't understand that we shouldn't have more free, free public social resources. I know you are very rich, but you can't support the entire empire. These things may bring you glory now, but they will become a burden for your future.”
Hersman's suggestion is very constructive. Free education and free medical care look very tempting. Even Dulin can afford free social resources in Ambiluo State, but the problem is that he cannot last his whole life. All spent in Ambiluo. As long as he wants to climb up and go to other places, these will inevitably be firmly integrated with Dulin's "Dulin Policy" with Dulin's characteristics, and he must also take it with him.
Anyone who wants to make a difference in politics will establish a personal governance concept and political program at the beginning, and ensure that it is his own and unique. Only in this way can he stand out from countless politicians and have a certain level of influence. competitiveness.
