No matter where, between power and money, between politics and economy, between officials and businessmen, there is no way to cut off the connection between each other, power will determine the amount of money, the economy will affect the political direction, officials need businessmen to revitalize the country, businessmen also need officials to ensure their rights and interests!

It's just that this kind of cooperation, this kind of connection, is so dirty, how can an official who is a ruler help a businessman to make a profit! How can an elected government that formulates policies give a businessman the privilege of exploiting the people!

Therefore, the exchange of interests between government and business is absolutely forbidden everywhere! Once any form of corruption is discovered, both sides will be discredited and completely destroyed!

In this sense, Congressman Philip, the big fat Hispanic, is not lying, maybe he and Donald really haven't met, but this does not mean that there is no communication between them, and the channel of communication between them is "lobbyists". Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Lobbyists are hired by Donald to convey to Philip what Donald wants to do, while promising some financial support, which is the simplest form of lobbying.

Of course, Donald will not admit that he asked Philip for help, and Philip will not admit that he helped Donald anywhere, all this is Philip's personal subjective behavior!

If Philip's votes occasionally went against his usual subjectivity, it is also well explained that he was lobbied!

The skillful lobbyists knew his reasoning and moved him with affection, and he successfully "convinced" Philip and made him change his consistent views! The lobbyists were all Zhuge Liang! Every day, hundreds of Wang Lang could be scolded to death!

Theoretically, this is the case, but even elementary school students cannot be convinced by this set of arguments! Everyone knows that there are interests in it!

But to accuse these, you must catch the illegal places in this system, otherwise it is slander.

Just like Lao Li, he was caught something!

There is no doubt that he will not be caught in most cases, and Lao Li has never been caught in decades.

As for the lobbying between Lao Li and Philip, it is the smallest and smallest pediatric thing, the lobbyist is just going through the motions in the middle, most of the real big scenes take place in Washington, and Congress is the main battlefield, and it is precisely because of Brady's strong influence in Washington that Lao Li will pay them tens of millions of dollars in consulting fees every year!

To put it bluntly, lobbyists are brokers who wander in the gray area between politics and business, they have existed since ancient times, they can be found everywhere, lobbyists are like prostitutes, no matter how iron-fisted and centralized rule they use, they cannot be erased!

Lobbyists are in the same situation as prostitutes, which are illegal in most countries! They are the catalyst for corruption, bribery, and bribery!

But in the United States, it's legal! Just like there are places where prostitutes are legal! Those places will reasonably plan the 18 prohibited areas, and the government will manage them, not the mafia or the Yamaguchi-gumi, and at the same time they will make medical examinations mandatory to ensure the health of every practitioner and prevent the spread of disease!

In the United States, the same is true for lobbyists, if you can't eliminate this thing, then manage him, monitor him, and minimize his negative impact on society! After all, if lobbying is outlawed, and there is no such channel of sunshine under supervision, then in the shadows, something even more terrible may appear.

Therefore, under the premise of legality, entrepreneur Lao Li can hire Brady to lobby the company to persuade some people to do something, and Anne Hathaway can also hire lobbyists to persuade the Oscar judges to vote for themselves!

Legality is not the same as connivance, there are countless laws in the law that control the lobbying process, Lao Li handed over $10,000 to a lobbyist, and asked him to give it to Philip, of course, it is illegal! Anne Haiwei hinted that if she became a movie queen, of course, it was also illegal to sleep with the judges!

What exactly is legal, Li Colin himself can't figure out! That's why he needs Eric's help! That's why those bastard lawyers are so valuable!

After settling down, a new coffee was served, and Eric began some friendly reminders: "Colin, there are a few points that I will explain in advance, there is a confidentiality agreement between you and me, and I can only bring anything into the coffin, whether it is legal or not." That being said, if you violate the lobbying bill, I can report and prosecute, but I know your situation, you must not have read half of the bill, so this time, if you have a tendency to break the law in your conversation, I will not be able to hear it. ”

Eric took a sip of coffee as he spoke, smiling and rubbing his ears: "Even a federal justice would forgive an old man with intermittent deafness." ”

"Thank you so much Eric, that's what I needed, but we don't need to be that complicated. Li Colin smiled, "I will ask if it is illegal to do something, you can just tell me directly, if it is a legal consultation-style question sentence, it will not involve these." ”

"Yes. Eric nodded slightly, and immediately said, "I can tell you right away that all lobbying involving judges or prosecutors is illegal." ”

"So what if I go and lobby a congressman to give my father bail?"

Eric replied unhurriedly: "The matter itself is legal, but if the councillor does it, it is to interfere with the administration and the judiciary, and the poor councillor will break the law, and he will go to jail and leave a stench for ten thousand years." ”

"Actually, Eric?" Li Colin raised an eyebrow, "This kind of interference happens a lot, doesn't it?"

Eric also raised his eyebrows and smiled dumbly, and took a sip of his coffee unhurriedly, noncommittal.

Li Colin asked again: "Over the years, you must have been occasionally not so legal, right?"

Eric smiled generously, "It looks like I'm going to get a lawyer to deny this." ”

Then, Eric made a "please" gesture and politely said that he should get to the point early: "Don't dwell on these things, Colin, if you want to prosecute Magneto, the judicial system will need to use half the United States prosecutors and lawyers to list the charges." ”

"Haha, sorry to ask, I haven't been involved in the group's affairs, just because I'm a kid who craves knowledge. Li Colin didn't say much about it, and finally asked his own topic, "What I really want to ask is, do I have the qualifications to run for state legislator and president?"

Eric's expression didn't change much, just a long, long, long silence.

Li Colin was not in a hurry to urge.

It was long before he asked, "Were you born before November 1989?"

"Yes. ”

"Have you been in jail in a year?"

"Although I did all kinds of evil in the newspapers, in fact, I have never broken the law in my life, not even speeding. ”

Eric nodded: "Then Mr. Lee, no one can stop you from running for president of the United States." ”

――――――――――――――――――――――

In reality, you have to be at least 35 years old to run for president of the United States, just like King Arthur can't be a girl in reality!
