Chapter 358: Seize the Position
The dark tide on Mars is surging, all of this is in Xiaobai's estimation, but he is not in the mood to think about it at all now, because he is just as irritated now.
"Do the big men in parliament know what it means to veto this bill?"
Xiao Bai's face became more and more pale, and he slapped the table hard, making a muffled sound, and even his palms were a little red.
Wang Wenshan stood aside with a wry smile, he is now Xiaobai's adviser, so he naturally understands why Xiaobai is angry.
In fact, he also felt very depressed, for Xiaobai, the position of consultant is really a dispensable position, he is confident that he can solve all problems, but after thinking about it for a long time, he still found his most trusted friend to play this role, after all, there are many things, he can't take action directly.
Now that he has been in office for almost half a year, even if he has fully considered the difficulties he faces, the cruel reality still makes him realize that he is too optimistic.
These so-called elites, when it is beneficial to them, are desperate, but if their interests are harmed, then one by one they become like chewed gum, not only sticky, but also annoying!
The Anti-Counter. bill, which was again vetoed.
Xiaobai thinks that he has fully considered the affordability of these elites, so the terms of this bill are actually quite relaxed, and if you read a "novel" and become an official, you naturally have to be greedy, and there are people who can serve humanity wholeheartedly, not nothing, but there are too few.
However, Xiaobai did not expect that even so, this bill still has not passed, there are 1,200 members in the house, but the votes in favor of this bill are only 318 votes!
You must know that there are 460 parliamentarians that Xiaobai has the confidence to control, and these people in the four major families can be said to be the entire parliament, 90% of the members are standing behind the four families, that is to say, even among the parliamentarians he can control, there are 142 votes of veto, this discovery makes Xiaobai almost dizzy!
You must know that before this, he had already communicated with the four major families, and he just wanted to regulate corruption, but it didn't work?
When the water is clear, there is no fish, Xiaobai understands these truths very well, he is newly appointed, and he didn't want to make such a big move, but he always has to give an explanation to those who believe in him, corruption, is always the most hated thing by the people, if this bill is passed, then his support rate will obviously be better, but he never thought that even if he passed the gas, these parliamentarians still gave him this result!
"It's not that I don't want them to be greedy!" Xiaobai groaned, "I just want them not to be so greedy, this group of people actually dare to veto me like this?" β
Wang Wenshan endured it for a long time, and finally opened his mouth, "If there is a sleeve to tie them from the beginning, it naturally doesn't matter, now that they are used to lawlessness, where will this kind of bill be allowed to pass!" β
Xiaobai didn't look up, the moment he got the news, he understood everything, he really underestimated the appetite of this group of elites.
Thinking about the confidence he had when he became president, he suddenly felt that he was still too naΓ―ve!
In the past six months, he has proposed a total of seven bills, but only a pitiful three have passed!
The four most important bills were all vetoed, and Xiao Bai seemed to see the heads of the three major families, looking at him with a smile, just like looking at a monkey with a rope around his neck!
Now even his Lao Tzu does not give him a good look, the reason is naturally that he proposed to encourage citizens to volunteer to donate property, and announced that after the bill is passed, the minerals owned by the Peng family will be donated to the state.
This bill passed the most smoothly, except for the members of the Peng family, it was almost unanimously passed, because only the interests of his family were lost, and perhaps only his father and those sons in his family were angry.
The Peng family is also a big family, he has six uncles and at least thirty cousins, but which one will have a good face when he sees him now?
Xiaobai believes that if he is not the president, then he can be beaten out by this group of people!
"I just want to take the lead and lead other families to nationalize some important assets!" Xiaobai explained to Peng Shiheng, who was blue with an iron face: "The family's wealth is enough, and taking out a little bit can be regarded as supporting my work!" β
Peng Shiheng didn't know about this matter before this bill was passed, all of this was decided by Xiaobai privately, but after he knew, everything became a foregone conclusion, looking at his son at the moment, he suddenly felt that this son, who had always been very smart, suddenly became confused?
"Role models? If the example is useful, the world would have been peaceful long ago! Peng Shiheng said contemptuously: "You are probably stupid on Mars, you yourself are willing to jump into the pit, just think that others are willing to jump with you?" β
These words made Xiaobai stunned for a long time, he suddenly felt that he really didn't know this society, on Mars, those people were so simple, even the ordinary people he knew, most of them were like this, but in the case of these elites, he suddenly felt that he thought too beautifully.
Xiaobai has always been proud of his scheming, and in all his past plans, there have been few failures.
But it wasn't until this moment that he suddenly realized that he had indeed had too little contact with these so-called elites, and some of the rules were completely inapplicable!
Everything that happened next really verified Peng Shiheng's statement, the other three families were very appreciative of all this that Xiaobai had done, but it was just appreciation, no one was stupid enough to hand over what was originally their own, they couldn't grab it!
And the only consequence of this matter is that Peng Shiheng temporarily deprived Xiaobai of his family management authority under the pressure of other members of the family, that is to say, if Xiaobai wants to use the Peng family's assets again, it will not be effective at all without Peng Shiheng's consent!
At this time, Xiaobai was almost desperate.
He finally understood why Wilson had such a relaxed smile when he left the company.
Originally, he thought it was because of the pressure of the Nahu people, but now it seems that although the Nahu people nominally control human society, it is only his family and those who hold huge wealth that can really affect him.
If it was Nahu Xingren, there might still be some pressure on these families, at least they didn't dare to be so arrogant, but now that he only has himself, how could he suppress these people?
Even the bill he passed to strengthen the human military is now difficult to implement thoroughly.
It costs money to raise an army, and because of the Nahu people, the status of the presidential palace is not high, let alone now!
Because of the privatization of a large number of assets, Xiaobai's current family does not have much at all.
You must know that the pillar industry of the country is the manufacturing industry, but if the minerals are not in the hands of the state, how can the manufacturing industry be developed?
Now the country's financial revenue mainly depends on taxes, but Xiaobai himself has done smuggling, and now there is no suppression of the Nahu Xing, this industry is obviously more developed, in this case, what can he do?
Xiaobai even thought that if Mars wasn't now in the hands of the Nahu people, his father would have sued his biological son in federal court and demanded that it be taken back!
Every time he thought about it, Xiao Bai felt a burst of powerlessness, he really couldn't figure it out, why were these people so greedy?
The wealth they hold is enough to feed them for hundreds of years, even if their descendants do nothing, but they still plunder, don't they understand that if humanity is invaded by a foreign race, then what is the difference between this wealth and a piece of waste paper?
Wang Wenshan looked at Xiaobai quietly, to be honest, he admired Xiaobai very much, otherwise he would not have been crazy with him back then, but now looking at Xiaobai's depressed appearance, he suddenly found that Xiaobai has been on Mars for so many years, and he is really out of touch with the current society.
Xiaobai understands human psychology very well, but when he meets these old men who have been in this circle all his life, he still seems too tender!
"You know, they're not what you think they are!" Looking at Xiaobai's decadent appearance, Wang Wenshan couldn't help but say, "No one will dislike having a lot of wealth!" Even your father! β
Xiaobai didn't move, he naturally couldn't have known this truth, but the only thing he didn't expect was that these people would be like this when their lives were no longer safe.
"Don't think that these people will give everything for the safety of humanity!" Wang Wenshan seemed to know what Xiaobai was thinking, and said unceremoniously: "Unless they really feel threatened!" Otherwise they simply don't care! β
"Even if the aliens are killed, then it is impossible to exterminate the entire human society, as long as someone survives, then the wealth is naturally useful, and I dare to guarantee that they must have a greater chance of surviving than ordinary people!"
Xiaobai's eyes narrowed, he had also imagined this question, but he really didn't expect that there would really be someone like this, and it was the majority!
"Maybe they weren't hit hard enough!" Xiaobai's tone was very erratic, as if he had lost consciousness, "Then something may need to be changed!" β
Wang Wenshan was a little surprised, Xiaobai had never shown this before, which made him feel some danger inexplicably, "What do you want to do?" β
Xiao Bai seemed to be alarmed by him, and raised his head suddenly, his eyes lit up a little scary, "Since they don't think it's dangerous enough, then I can naturally make them feel what danger is!" β
After speaking, he suddenly stood up and turned around in the room, his steps were so fast that Wang Wenshan's eyes were a little succulent.
After a long time, Xiaobai's speed slowed down, but the expression on his face became more and more calm, as if he had made some major decision, "Prepare remote communication for me, the kind with the highest level of confidentiality, I need to contact Zhang Yimin!" β
Wang Wenshan was stunned, Zhang Yimin was no stranger to him, but he really couldn't imagine that in this kind of national event, what would be the use of a person who knows kung fu, how could Xiaobai actually think of him at this time?
However, his task is to cooperate with Xiaobai's work, and he won't say anything when he looks at Xiaobai's expression at this time, so he stood up and walked out.
"I doubt that when your lives are at stake, you will still take your possessions so seriously!"
Looking at Wang Wenshan's back, Xiaobai laughed slowly, slowly getting louder and louder, and finally almost laughed wildly.
