Switzerland is a typical small government country, with only seven permanent departments, each governed by seven members of the Federal Council.

The "smallness" of the government in this country is not only reflected in the small number of departments and personnel, but also in the small power they have.

With the exception of administrative officials, most of the officials in Switzerland work part-time.

Even in Switzerland's most powerful Swiss parliament, the vast majority of its members are part-time.

Those members who sit in the parliament hall in the morning to make the laws of the country may come out as garbage workers driving garbage trucks or as coolies working on farms.

The country is made up of Germans who don't want to be Germans, French who don't want to be French, Italians who don't want to be Italians.

They did not want to be exploited by the original government and became Swiss, and from the very beginning of the country, the power of the government was strictly limited, and any major decision required a referendum.

In the more than 130 years since the founding of modern Switzerland, there have been more than 10 referendums per year alone.

It's like the boiling national welfare that has been passed down from generation to generation, because the government's revenue has increased year by year, the Swiss parliament is ready to give benefits to the whole people. Every Swiss person receives about 16,000 RMB per month in national welfare.

However, this proposal was rejected by the Swiss, and 76 percent of the people opposed it.

Why? Because the Swiss see the predicament of the European countries, they are afraid that they will raise a bunch of waste people who are paid two thousand and a half thousand Swiss francs a month.

If you want to be rich, you have to work, and this is a very different concept in Switzerland than in Europe.

Countries across Europe are breaking the 40-hour workweek, but Switzerland is not changing.

While the people of Europe are asking their governments to increase unemployment benefits and improve national welfare, Switzerland is demanding a reduction in welfare spending and only an increase in the proportion of national insurance.

Switzerland has never been a welfare state, and its citizens are not allowed to become one.

The country's biggest welfare expenditure is the insurance that the state buys for everyone, and from the moment everyone is born, the government will buy all kinds of insurance for him, and the child's insurance number is the ID card.

Because of the small number of people, the entire country is only a few million people, so everyone has a state registration of various medical and insurance records from the moment they are born. Switzerland doesn't have an ID card, and you can't pretend to be Swiss with a Swiss passport.

All in all, Switzerland's bizarre system of direct democracy dictates that power belongs to the people, and any policy decision must be made by a referendum.

It doesn't matter if you are the chairman of the party or the speaker of the parliament, as long as more than 100,000 people sign the impeachment, there is no reason to step down.

This is only equivalent to two percent of the base of the population.

This will have a result, that is, any official pays great attention to the issue of image, because as long as he makes a mistake, he will be ousted from power, and there will be no chance of recovery.

The Swiss government's slogan of serving the people is more than just shouting.

Hearing Berg say this, Jonas asked: "Your Excellency, can I assume that the government is willing to provide the necessary help to Hoffman Equity Investment in the layout of the automobile industry?"

Berg smiled and said, "Or to put it another way, the CDU is willing to provide the necessary help for your company's expansion." ”

Jonas was surprised and asked, "Haven't you already quit the party?"

The membership of the seven committees has not changed for decades, with four major parties co-governing in Switzerland, each with two seats and one in the center.

But there is also a rule in Switzerland that any administrative official who is elected must leave the party to show that he will treat government work fairly.

Berg smiled and didn't speak, but Jonas understood.

No matter how enlightened a government is, there is darkness, no matter how clean a government is, there is corruption, and politics has never been clean since its birth.

He changed his direction and asked, "Your Excellency, what can the CDU do for me, and what can I do for the CDU?"

Berg then said: "Although our CDU is a conservative party, its moderate governing style is still recognized by all countries. The biggest obstacle you face if you want to buy Skoda is their government, and we are willing to clear the way for you.

At the same time, the CDU is willing to provide the necessary help for your company's development at home and abroad, so that your company can be in a relatively equal development competition atmosphere. ”

"So what can I do for the CDU?"

"Become a member of the CDU and provide financial and operational support to the party within the scope of the law. ”

There is a limit to Swiss contributions, and Jonas can not contribute more than three times the average income of the population, which is a maximum of 350,000 Swiss francs per year.

It's nothing, but it's action......

Jonas pondered for a while and said: "Your Excellency, my father, my uncle, has always been a member of the CDU, and I am also willing to continue to serve the party.

However, I will have to think carefully about this matter and ask for the consent of my family before I can give you an answer. ”

"As it should be, you are now the best sports star in Switzerland, and your successful investment has made you a national icon," Berg laughs. We in the CDU need young people like you very much to improve our party image......"

Schwarch said at this time: "Jonas, please believe my recommendation, the CDU is definitely the most suitable party for you. ”

Jonas was very familiar with the Swiss partisans, the Liberal Democrats and the Christian Democrats were both old and bourgeoisie.

The Socialist Party and the Centre Alliance, on the other hand, are both rising stars, with the majority of ordinary people representing different strata.

Jonas is a veritable capitalist, and although every party can enter, it is the two Democrats who are most in his interest.

But the Liberal Democrats' policies are more radical, and Jonas wants to keep his interests out, and he doesn't like the Liberal Democrats very much.

But even if he wanted to join the CDU now, he wouldn't have agreed directly to Berg. Although he, the secretary general, came forward, it was already quite a face-saving for Jonas.

The other party obviously also understands Jonas's mentality, and today is only a preliminary contact, and he has no intention of having a deep conversation with Jonas.

They didn't even talk about how to help Jonas clear the obstacles to the acquisition of Skoda, and they would only give this benefit when Jonas decided to join.

Separated from them, Jonas put this matter on the back of his mind for the time being, today is December 22nd, and it is time for the company to take a holiday.

When I came to the company, everyone was beaming, and the staff was very neat today, except for the investment team in Dongying, most of them were present.

Even Balm and Stten, who were interns at the company, also came over.

Jonas held a short meeting and let the groups freely arrange the staff on duty who stayed behind, announced the holiday, and then began to distribute red envelopes.

Hoffman's investment bank works in a similar way to most financial firms, with one month of paid leave per year and two double pays, with 14 months' salaries per year.

However, with an annual net profit of more than 1.5 billion, each of them will receive a large amount of additional bonuses.

The staff of the investment department can get an additional reward of 200,000 yuan on average, the asset management department can get about 150,000 yuan, and the administration department and the information department can get 120,000 yuan.

It's an excess bonus that far exceeds its salary, so everyone is elated.

Even the interns Stten and Balm have a bonus of 80,000 yuan. Today, the average American salary is just $10,000 a year.

Financial companies are like this, they make money and die, and they may lose money when they lose.

After the meeting, everyone was beaming with checks and ready to go on vacation.

Neuer, who had been picked up by Plov from the St. Gallen School, also came to the company, shouted cold when he entered the door, and got into Jonas's arms for a long time.

Not to mention, on this cold day, the temperature below zero, Neuer is still wearing a school uniform, that is, a cashmere long skirt, not even a pair of warm pants, and it can really resist frost.

"Jonas, have you decided where to go on vacation?"

"Listen to your dad, we're going on vacation to Mexico. ”

This year, for next year's World Cup, Venus spent more time in Mexico.

On Neuer's birthday, Venus asked Jonas to take the family on vacation to Mexico, but Jonas didn't make up his mind.

Because Nicole wants to take advantage of Christmas to take the child back to Australia, it makes sense that Jonas should also go.

However, because Nicole has taken on another movie role, there is no Christmas holiday, so there is no need to hesitate now.

Together, the two returned to Neuer Castle, where another dance party was being organized.

Charles and they have been here for a week, skiing snow in Switzerland for several days, Christmas is just around the corner, and it's time for them to go home.

Anna is very fond of Sophia and jokes that she wants Sophia to be her daughter-in-law, but Jonas and Charles are distracted.

Charles disliked Sophia for being an illegitimate daughter, and Jonas thought of his two sons and had no desire to marry her to either of them.

Marrying into the royal family is not a good thing, and Jonas prefers to let Sophia enjoy life freely.

She is not yet a year old and is about to become the second largest shareholder of Fox, which is enough for her to live as she wants in the future.

Jonas is in talks with Davis to buy half of his shares, Davis wants to get out of the entertainment industry, and Murdoch wants to buy his shares.

Seaman Investments is now the second largest shareholder of News Corp., and no matter how it turns, these shares are equivalent to internal digestion anyway.

Jonas wanted to affect less than 30 percent of the shares, and Murdoch was very generous in agreeing.

Davis's stake will be split between two parts, one for Jonas and one for Murdoch, bringing Murdoch's stake to 65 percent.

Jonas gets 27 percent of the shares, which are going to be put all in Sophia's name, and Jonas and Nicole are in charge.

In this way, Nicole can also become the most powerful group of people in Hollywood, and she will not be bothered by any unspoken rules at all.

His daughter will have tens of billions of family assets in the future, so why bother to go to that big quagmire!
