Chapter 145 The Councillor's Promotion Code

Chen She looked down at the surrounding neighborhoods. From now on, the entire area nearby would be under his jurisdiction.

The concept of parliamentarians in the old land is not completely consistent with the concept of parliamentarians in Chen She's traditional understanding. Although the members of the old land were nominally elected by people from a jurisdiction or even a city, and their local reputation determined whether they could continue to serve as members, in fact, reputation has become more and more important. It doesn't matter anymore.

Now, the promotion path of MPs in the old land is roughly as follows:

First, find a way to participate in the Silver Star Construction Plan through donations and sponsorships, and obtain the status of a second-level councilor; then slowly obtain the status of a first-level councilor through various methods, and obtain your own jurisdiction; and finally become the chief councilor of a city. Even members of the Grand Federal District and the entire old land.

Among them, it is relatively easy to become a second-level member, as long as you have money. However, it is much more difficult to become a first-level member from a second-level member, because there are only so many jurisdictions. If there are not some special circumstances or If the relationship is really good, the average wealthy person will only be a second-level member of parliament for the rest of his life.

According to the provisions of the old laws, first-level members are considered to be members of the "examination period". If you can't even manage a small jurisdiction, you certainly don't deserve to move up and become the chief councilor of a city.

But after a long period of time, it has become increasingly difficult to reflect the differences in the governance capabilities of different members.

Because the situation in a jurisdiction is often complicated, it is almost impossible to make essential changes. Moreover, the seats of many members are predetermined and have been arranged step by step. The "examination period" for first-level members is nothing more than It's just a formality.

So in most cases now, the governance of first-level councilors in their jurisdictions has become a face-saving project. A batch of funds are thrown in. On the surface, it seems that the changes are indeed big, but in fact, there is no essential difference compared with before. .

In fact, most people are very aware of this, but nothing will change.

Zhang Sirui asked: "Mr. Chen, does Liu Zhilin have any suggestions about governing the area?"

Chen She nodded: "Yes."

As he spoke, he clicked a few times on his bracelet and sent a piece of information to Zhang Sirui.

Zhang Sirui clicked on it and browsed it quickly.

This information contains some suggestions, but the writing is relatively vague, the source cannot be seen, and it is encrypted. It is obvious that the issue of confidentiality has been taken into consideration to the maximum extent, and even if the secret is leaked, there will be no serious consequences.

These suggestions can be roughly summarized into three points.

First, find ways to raise money to repair or build some landmark buildings and landmark buildings in the jurisdiction, so that the entire jurisdiction will have a completely new look and feel.

Second, find ways to demolish or otherwise cover up buildings similar to slums in the jurisdiction. Previously, a councilman covered the slums with solar panels. Just make sure that the appearance of the jurisdiction is not eye-catching when viewed from the air. Stuff, that's it.

Third, try to announce some policies that are beneficial to the bottom class as much as possible, preferably inclusive policies that are directly linked to money, and invest some money appropriately to provide welfare.

As long as these three points can be achieved, it is basically just a matter of time before a first-level councilor is promoted to chief councilor.

After all, a position as chief councilor has been reserved for Chen She. This is the result of an exchange of interests with the Icefield Defense Group. Being a first-level councilor is just a formality.

Most of the other first-level councilors who go through the motions also operate in this way.

Zhang Sirui said with emotion: "These people are really experienced and they really know the upgrade code for members of parliament."

"Repair the landmark buildings in the jurisdiction, and then cover up the slums. At least from the perspective of the floating car, the entire jurisdiction will be bright and prosperous, so that the rich can feel the changes; and then we will give money to the people at the bottom to support it."

“As for whether demolishing slums and putting solar panels on them will affect the lives of the poor, that’s out of the question.”

"You are simply deceiving yourself and others, fooling people into thinking they are fools!"

Chen She shook his head: "It's not about fooling people into thinking they are fools, but when going through the motions has become a habit, no one can change this status quo, so they all acquiesce to this unspoken rule."

"How could those who live in the demolished slums not know the fishiness involved? But they have no choice. At least after the new district councilor takes office, he will give them some money. In addition to accepting it, There is simply no other way.”

Zhang Sirui nodded: "Indeed."

"Under this general environment, there is really no other way. Then let's do this and be more open, just like the Silver Star Construction Plan, just spend money on shopping."

"It's just that it's not about buying things, it's about buying status and power."

Lightspeed made the decision to "complicitly".

This is normal. After all, this is a tradition that has been followed for countless years in the old land. Almost every first-level councilor does this. If not, there will be problems.

If we can really get the chief councilor, it will definitely be of great help to the development of Lishan Technology, so Zhang Sirui also feels that it is better to do less than to do more.

Chen She shook his head: "No, I don't think so."

"Anyway, the chief councilor's seat has basically been predetermined, so why should I spend money on the district?"

Zhang Sirui was stunned for a moment: "Ah? This..."

Chen She's words really stumped him.

Thinking this way... doesn't seem to be wrong?

Anyway, it has already been decided. The chief councillor obtained through the exchange of interests is only a formality to manage the jurisdiction as a first-level councillor. Why should we spend money in the jurisdiction?

You know, whether it is to build a new landmark building or directly distribute money, most of them are real money paid by themselves.

For most councillors, taking this path is nothing more than spending money first, and then getting it back sooner or later. In the final analysis, in the case of competition, if you want to make some superficial achievements as much as possible, you can only use this method.

But what Chen She said also makes sense. Since it has been decided, why spend this wronged money?

Isn't it better to keep it for yourself?

Lishan Technology has places to spend money everywhere inside and outside. The original several industries still need to continue to develop, and the business in the West Continent is just starting. It is really unwise to spend money in the jurisdiction.

"But... if we do nothing, the scene will be a bit ugly, right?" Zhang Sirui asked.

Chen She looked at him and said, "Who said we won't do anything? I want to turn the area into a test area, a place that provides us with supplies and personnel."

"I have prepared the speech of the councillor, and it will be broadcast to everyone in the area tomorrow."
