Through the way a person ate, one could sense a person's character in certain aspects.
For example, the way the mayor handled his knife and fork was very simple, fast, and powerful. He cut a piece of beef from the steak in two to three strokes, then put sauce on it, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it quickly.
In fact, some people had more meticulous pursuits. They would cut more often, and the whole process would take longer.
There was a saying that if the knife was cut too quickly and too roughly, the texture fibers of the food would be dislocated and changed, which would affect the taste.
This kind of person might be more emotional and pursue more idealistic things. People like the mayor, on the other hand, were the representatives of pragmatism. Efficiency, value, and results were what they pursued.
While Lynch was secretly observing, the mayor put down his knife and fork. He picked up a napkin and dabbed his lips. He then took a sip of red wine from his glass. "Let's continue our conversation. What do you think we should do to change the current situation?"
They had previously talked about isolationism and international changes. Lynch's mature perspective made it easy for people to forget that he was only 20 years old this year. Plus, the way he dressed made him look like he was 24 or 25 years old.
But even so, he was still a young man when it came to politics. Many politicians were still working as office interns when they were twenty-four or twenty-five years old. They didn't even know what was going on in the country, let alone the international situation.
The more he chatted with Lynch, the more the mayor was curious about what interesting remarks he could come up with. He was looking forward to it!
Lynch also put down his knife and fork at the right time. He dabbed the sauce on his lips and thought for a moment before he began to answer. "I think if our Progressive Party can win the next term of power, we must first participate more in the construction of the international community and take advantage of our advantages. The Bailey Federation may not be the most advanced country in terms of technology, but it is definitely at the forefront. Many countries need our help!"
The mayor nodded noncommittally. "But have you thought about a question? Why do they accept us? Why does the international community accept us?"
This was also the question that some radicals in the Bailey Federation were currently pondering.
Previously, because of the Conservative Party, the Bailey Federation had closed its doors. Now, it was suddenly opened again. You want to participate in the activities of the international community and play an important role? Why should they let you play and be the leader?
The senior leaders of the Progressive Party had also discussed a lot of countermeasures. They already had a series of plans. As for whether they could be implemented and whether they could succeed, they had yet to be verified. But overall, having a specific method would be very reassuring.
The mayor also knew this. He asked this question just to see if Lynch's thoughts were the same as the Progressive Party's.
Lynch's lips curved slightly......... If we take on more responsibilities of the international community and let more countries recognize that the Bailey Federation is willing to take on more international responsibilities, then we can have more say.......
The mayor nodded noncommittally. He pondered over Lynch's words and the hidden meaning behind them for a while. Then, his smile widened as he asked, "So, where do you think we should start taking on these responsibilities?"
"Start with humanitarian international relief!"
This was destined to be a very meaningful lunch. First of all, the mayor and Lynch had a high degree of unity in their positions and awareness in some aspects, laying the foundation for the mayor's great political achievements in the future.
Secondly, what Lynch talked about during the meal about the Bailey Federation and the international community also gave the mayor a lot of inspiration. He would sort out these materials and send them to the senior leaders of the Progressive Party to have a meeting to discuss whether they were valuable and whether they could be used by the Progressive Party.
If they could be used, it would also be his political achievement. Whether he had recruited a talent for the Progressive Party or he had selflessly contributed these materials, he had contributed to the entire Progressive Party.
If they couldn't be used, it wouldn't be a mistake. As long as he didn't make public remarks that were not conducive to the Progressive Party, no one would think that speaking could be a mistake.
In short, with this meal, some things would soon change. At the same time, Lynch would gain another identity — a member of the Progressive Party.
On the way back, Ferrar drove while looking at Lynch sitting in the back through the rearview mirror. He had a strange expression on his face.
When they were leaving, the mayor had specifically asked him to drive Lin Qi back. This kind of treatment was rarely seen in a year, and only the big shots or important guests could enjoy it. He didn't expect Lin Qi to receive it at such a young age.
Some jealousy followed, but it soon dissipated. As long as he maintained a suitable friendship with Lynch, when the mayor was promoted in the future, he would have the opportunity to be nominated to participate in the party election and become a candidate for mayor of Saibin.
Once he embarked on this path, he would inevitably need some financial backers to support him. A candidate without money would always be a candidate.
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and asked, "Is there any problem that needs to be solved for this auction?"
He didn't forget to remind Zhang Heng, "For example, the venue?"
Although the open space in the warehouse area was large enough, the environment was still not good enough. If the mayor wasn't involved in this matter, no one would say anything even if he held the auction in the toilet.
However, this event was going to be promoted by the mayor, so it was somewhat inappropriate to hold the auction in the open space of the warehouse area.
Lynch nodded and said, "I do have some new ideas. I want to borrow Saibin's stadium, but the procedures may be a little troublesome."
A special venue was used for special events. Saibin's stadium was not funded by the regular budget. The state government believed that Saibin did not need a good stadium because there were no professional sports teams in the city.
Without a professional sports team, there was no need for a professional stadium. However, the city hall obviously had other ideas. With the funding of some capitalists and the general public, the stadium was finally built.
A few years ago, a local businessman had formed a football team. However, due to many other reasons, the stadium became a place for ordinary people to relax. It was in a semi-abandoned state, and the turf had not been changed for more than a year.
Even so, if one wanted to use the stadium for other purposes, even if it was only for half a day or a day, there would be a lot of resistance. It was even more impossible for an individual to apply for it.
After hearing Zhang Heng's words, Filar thought for a moment and said, "That place is indeed a good place, but you'll need to … Pay a little and shut some people up."
Lynch nodded. "You know, money is not a problem for me."
Filar smiled and said, "Then, there's no problem!"
If the auction itself had shocked the entire city and even the entire state, then the profit that Lynch had shared with the salespeople was the second explosive point.
According to the news leaked from some evening papers, someone had actually obtained a share of 8,000 yuan. This news was like a bomb that exploded among the crowd in this economic downturn.
In an instant, the phone in Lynch's office was flooded with calls. Many people were asking about the conditions to become a salesperson of this company. In their opinion, as long as they became a salesperson of this interstellar trading company, they would be able to make money without doing anything!
