Chapter 88 Members’ Proposal

June 5, Thursday.

Chen She got on his newly modified hovercraft and prepared to go to the Liming City Council to attend the regular meeting, while Zhang Sirui played the role of driver and bodyguard.

Zhang Sirui originally wanted Chen She to bring Li Yunhan with him, after all, if a fight really broke out, he would have a capable helper, but Chen She refused.

The Liming City Council is in the inner city of Liming City, and its defense force is very strong. If something really happened, let alone Li Yunhan, even if all the members of their resistance army were brought over, it would not be enough.

So in this case, if something small happened, there was no need to fight, and if something big happened, it would be impossible to fight.

In this case, it is better to keep a low profile and bring a driver.

Chen She had done his homework in advance. The Liming City Council is a large building. The regular meetings of the councilors are held in the largest building in the center, and all hovercrafts are not allowed to enter the core area.

Of course, weapons cannot be carried when entering the core area.

Chen She's hovercraft is equipped with a weapon system, but it's no big deal, because the hovercrafts of other congressmen who came to participate must also have guns and other weapons. Anyway, these hovercrafts cannot enter the inner area and can only wait in the outer parking lot. So it's not particularly important whether there is a weapon system or not, and no one dares to use force in such a place.

Zhang Sirui drove it for less than two minutes and exclaimed: "Mr. Chen, this hovercraft is so cool to drive."

"The power is too strong, I really can't help but want to drive it."

Chen She hurriedly said: "Calm down, don't attract unnecessary attention. When you get to the wilderness later, you can drive as much as you want, no one will stop you."

Zhang Sirui nodded, "Okay, but the controllability and speed of this car are too perfect, plus the powerful weapon system. It's just like a dream."

"If it can be mass-produced, and every two or three rebels are equipped with one, it will be amazing."

Chen She smiled slightly, "Don't worry, that day should not be too far away."

Zhang Sirui's profession is a sharpshooter, genetic and mechanical pathways. Therefore, Tianran also has a high talent for vehicle driving. He is a natural car god and is more likely to achieve the state of unity between man and car than ordinary people.

Zhang Sirui felt like a racer who touched a top-performance professional racing car at this time. The excitement was simply indescribable.

He could imagine that he stepped on the accelerator and the hovercraft immediately flew through the skyscrapers like a rocket. Then, in a clever turn, he dodged the pursuing missiles and quickly counterattacked to shoot down the enemy's hovercraft.

Of course, this was just a fantasy in Zhang Sirui's mind. At this time, they were leaving the surrounding area of ​​​​the satellite city and entering Liming City.

There is a clear speed limit for hovercrafts inside.

In the inner city, the speed limit for hovercrafts will be stricter. If you dare to drive recklessly in the city, the DCPD police will immediately stop you on the spot.

Although the DCPD does not take care of things in the outer edge areas of Liming City, they are very efficient in the inner city.

Finally, the headquarters of the Liming City Council appeared in front.

This is a magnificent building complex. Because the Dawn City Council represents the highest ruling power in Dawn City, the senior executives of various large consortiums basically hold important positions in the Dawn City Council. Therefore, the building of the Dawn City Council naturally becomes the most imposing building in the entire city.

Following the guidance, Zhang Sirui controlled the hovercraft to land outside the parliament.

This can be seen as a guidance and reception area. All drivers and accompanying personnel must stay here with the hovercraft. Only the councillors themselves can enter the internal building of the parliament without carrying any weapons under the guidance of the staff.

Of course, in Chen She's opinion, this security measure is useless. Because this world has extraordinary power. If a councillor is a strong man with level 6 energy fluctuations or higher, even if he has no weapons, he can kill other councillors in an instant.

Although there is a protection system inside the parliament headquarters, this defense force is still not enough in front of high-level strong men.

But in general, most of the senior executives of large consortiums do not have such high-level strong men, and even if they do, they will not do such reckless things. Because this is equivalent to declaring war on all the big chaebols in the old land. Unless you are crazy, you should not do such a thing.

This security measure is mainly to prevent some external forces from infiltrating, such as a big consortium wants to hire a killer or the Space-Time Knights want to do something big. This security measure can keep the danger out as much as possible.

Chen She came out of the airborne car and found that other councilors were also parking.

Councilors of different levels have different parking areas. The number of second-level councilors is the largest, and the parking area is also the largest.

And the few chief councilors can even drive the airborne car directly to the roof of the building.

All kinds of luxurious airborne cars are seen, one after another. One by one, the councilors dressed in gorgeous clothes and trying to maintain their elegant temperament walked down from the airborne car. After occasionally meeting other councilors, they immediately came forward to say hello, with a smile on their faces, a happy scene.

The technology in this world is relatively advanced, so you only need to look at the other person and immediately check the other person's information and know which company the other person is the boss of.

In this way, there is no need to exchange business cards. You only need to go up and say a few words and praise the other person's career, and the friendship will be initially established.

At that time, maybe at a suitable opportunity, this favor can be used.

Chen She glanced at the hovercraft in the parking lot and felt that his hovercraft was just right. It doesn't look too shabby, and because it is not large, it is not particularly conspicuous.

Of course, the shape of Chen She's hovercraft is unique. After all, it is the result of his own magic modification, but for other people, it is not easy to see.

Because there are too many brands and models of hovercraft in the world. These rich people can't stare at the hovercraft all day to study its model and brand, and can only make a rough judgment based on the appearance. Even if they see Chen She's hovercraft, the first reaction will be that this is an uncommon model.

Not long after Chen She got off the car, he heard a surprised voice saying, "Hey, isn't this Boss Chen?"

Chen She turned around and found that Wu Yisu had just got off the hovercraft.

Wu Yisu looked very different now. He was wearing a formal suit, looking rosy-cheeked and energetic. The hovercraft should have been newly bought, and looked quite impressive.

Wu Yisu's development trajectory was completely different from Chen She's. After his own bar became popular, he successfully obtained a lot of financing and quickly opened several branches in the inner city of Liming City. His personal assets expanded rapidly.

Wu Yisu had approached Chen She before and asked him if he wanted to become a second-level councilor so that he could have someone to look after him in the parliament. As a result, Chen She refused.

The main reason was that Chen She had no similar ideas at the time and just wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible, but he didn't expect that he couldn't keep it.

Wu Yisu smiled and said, "Boss Chen, you are not kind! I discussed with you about joining the Liming City Council before, but you refused it out of the blue, saying that you had never even considered it. What's the situation now? Are you planning to give me a surprise?"

Chen She was silent for a moment, "This matter is mainly because plans cannot keep up with changes."

Wu Yisu smiled, "Okay, okay, anyway, it's a good thing that you can come to the Liming City Council, so that we can take care of each other. Let's go, let's go in quickly."

The two walked towards the meeting site and met some other councilors on the way.

Wu Yisu went up to greet everyone very enthusiastically, and other councilors also greeted him very politely.

But it is obvious that these councilors are more interested in Chen She.

Those who enter from this channel are basically second-level councilors, and their status is similar. But there are also differences between them. The amount of assets, the level of status, whether the network is extensive, or what industry they are in, all of these will affect their evaluation of each other.

Wu Yisu only runs a bar, and he is not taken seriously in this social circle.

But Chen She is different. Both the previous "Embers Will Go Out" and the later "Another Possibility" have attracted widespread attention.

The first Super Dream proved that Lishan Technology has strong R&D capabilities in the Super Dream industry, which can be compared with Changye Entertainment Group. The second Super Dream means that Lishan Technology has been appreciated and recognized by some high-level bigwigs.

Lishan Technology is like a rising star in Liming City. Of course, these councilors are eager to have a good relationship with Chen She.

But for Chen She, it is really a bit tiring.

I am a traitor.

You'd better stay away from me, otherwise if you are implicated by me, your whole family will be executed.

But he had no choice but to keep smiling and make simple polite remarks with these people.

After entering the internal building of the Liming City Council, everyone came to the general meeting hall for regular meetings. They sat down in order according to their assigned seats.

This general meeting hall is extremely spacious and grand, and the interior decoration is also very gorgeous. The whole structure is a fan-shaped structure, with the seats of several chief councillors at the innermost part, and the seats of first-level councillors and second-level councillors at the outermost part.

Obviously, the seats closer to the innermost part mean higher status.

Chen She originally wanted to find a corner to sit with Wu Yisu and quickly go through the meeting, but when the meeting was over, he found that these seats were reserved. His seat was in the first row of second-level councillors, and Wu Yisu's seat was in the last row.

Chen She couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, because this position was a bit too far forward for him.

The chief councillors and first-level councillors sitting in front of him added up to less than 100 people.

But Chen She had no choice but to walk to his seat and sit down.

Originally, Chen She thought he would not meet other acquaintances in the parliament, but not long after he sat down, he heard a surprised voice.

"Master? Why are you here?"

Chen She turned his head and found that Su Zhiyong was looking at him with surprise, his eyes full of admiration.

Su Zhiyong happened to be sitting next to him.

"No way, life is always full of unnecessary social events." Chen She sighed slightly.

Su Zhiyong agreed, "Yes, Master, I want to say that too. In fact, I don't want to attend this meeting at all, but I have to come."

"There are many proposals in every regular meeting. It's so annoying to deal with them one by one. The key is that some second-level councillors will also propose some proposals without emotional intelligence, but the regulations of the Liming City Council require that all proposals must be voted on. So every regular meeting will last for several hours."

Su Zhiyong was obviously very bored. He almost wrote "I don't want to come" on his face.

Since he was completely uninterested in the entire agenda of the meeting, Su Zhiyong had to chat with Chen She, thinking that he could get closer to the master.

Maybe the master would teach him a trick when he was happy, so that he could have a deeper understanding of the surrealist school.

Sure enough, the council meeting went as Su Zhiyong said. The councillors proposed various proposals, and then discussed and voted.

Of course, the more important the proposals proposed by senior councillors, the longer the discussion time will be. Some proposals proposed by chief councillors may trigger arguments among several chief councillors. After discussing for one or two hours without any results, this topic will be temporarily shelved and discussed at the next meeting.

This is because most of the senior councillors represent the interests of their own consortiums. The interests of these large consortiums conflict with each other, and whether a motion can be passed is often the result of the decision of multiple forces.

As for the motions of ordinary first-level councillors and even second-level councillors, they may be passed after a simple report and vote of two or three minutes.

Although from the rules, every councillor can propose his own motion in the parliament for discussion, and the motion will be implemented after the standard procedures of the parliament, but most of the discussions are still conducted among the chief councillors. Ordinary councillors, especially the newly joined second-level councillors, basically do not propose motions.

Because everyone is not stupid, those who can enter this circle are at least wealthy and wealthy, and they are very clear about the role they play in the entire parliamentary system. As a small fish, you propose a worthless motion and take up everyone's precious time, which is equivalent to offending the senior figures in the entire Liming City at the same time. Will you still have good results in the future?

Everyone comes to the Liming City Council to make more money, not to die.

So although in theory, every member can propose a motion, and the parliament's procedures are relatively complicated, the duration of each regular parliamentary meeting is still basically reasonable and can be completed in a few hours.

Unless there are some major controversial issues, a special meeting will be held at that time. These members may have to be prepared and discuss in the parliament for several days.

For Chen She, he did not plan to propose a motion. After all, his goal is to keep a low profile. Speaking in front of all the members and showing up in public does not conform to his purpose of hiding.

The chief members are all key figures in major financial groups, including Liu Zhilin of Mellen Bank Group, who had previously pulled Chen She into the parliament.

Chen She simply listened to a few motions and soon lost interest like Su Zhiyong.

Although the issues discussed by these large financial groups sounded high-sounding on the surface and were indeed core issues that were beneficial to the development of Liming City, if you think about it carefully, you will find that they are actually just trying to gain benefits for their own financial groups in various ways.

For example, Liu Zhilin hopes that Liming City should further relax restrictions on small loans. It is claimed that this move will help stimulate the economic development of Liming City and allow more ordinary people to obtain good capital turnover, but in fact it is nothing more than issuing more loans and obtaining more benefits.

People who do financial credit always like to describe their behavior as doing charity, but in fact they are still eyeing the high interest.

The proposals put forward by other chief councilors are basically directly or indirectly related to their own industries.

But this phenomenon does not make others feel strange. Instead, everyone thinks that this is a very reasonable phenomenon. After all, becoming a councilor is to give their own consortium better development opportunities.

Since their own consortium has a large business in the relevant field, it naturally means that they have a better understanding of the relevant field. Since they have a better understanding, isn’t it a natural thing to put forward a proposal?

As for some issues that the exhibitors are more concerned about, these proposals are not involved at all.

For example, after the base of the Fujido Group was destroyed, did they find any clues of the enemy? Do these councilors know about the Naraku plan that the Fujido Group is carrying out? After the base of the Fujido Group was destroyed, the power of Liming City must be redistributed. Which companies will take over some industries and markets?

These issues were not discussed at all, not even mentioned at all.

Thinking about it, it was normal. After all, there were many second-level councilors present at this regular meeting. These core issues are probably only discussed secretly by the chief councilors in a confidential occasion, and some countermeasures are given.

Becoming a second-level councilor is just a stepping stone to enter this circle. However, if you want to really influence the development of Dawn City, you must at least be a first-level councilor. If you want to really master some secrets of Dawn City and gain more real power, you must become one of the chief councilors.

Of course, after becoming the chief councilor of Dawn City, you can continue to climb up, such as climbing to the Northern Federal District Council, then to the Old Land Council, and finally to the Silver Star Federation High Council. The power gained with each step will be exponentially improved.
