Chapter 460 The assassinated senator? (Please vote for this chapter)(2/2)

Wait for someone to arrange some more 'experiments' for him.

They just choose between hell and a better hell.

After talking about this topic, the taxi driver also fell silent. He stared ahead and started driving quietly.

He Ao withdrew his mind and looked down at the bracelet in his hand. Everything needs to be done step by step.

A thousand miles begins with a single step.

The most important thing now is to find where the Fountain of Youth is.

And, find out what exactly the Fountain of Youth is.

Inside the bracelet is information about Senator Genos that Eve found for him.

The highest legislative body of the federation is the Bundestag.

The entire parliament is divided into two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate.

The House of Representatives determines its quota based on the number of people. There is approximately one representative for every 500,000 people, and there are approximately more than 400 representatives in the entire federation.

And this means that the House of Representatives will be very affected by the number of people. The more populous a large city, the more influence it can exert on the House of Representatives.

For example, Chenxi City, with a population of 28 million, has 53 representatives, which is more than one-tenth of the seats in the entire House of Representatives.

If the federal parliament only has the House of Representatives, then the entire federal parliament will tend to favor mega-cities, which will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction in small cities and even lead to the disintegration of the federation.

In order to balance the power of large cities, the founders of the Federation established an additional Senate.

The number of senators does not change with population, but is fixed at two senators per city.

There are more than 100 fortress cities and nearly 300 senators in the entire federation. In this way, the power of Dawn City in the Senate is diluted to insignificance.

The powers of the House of Representatives and the Senate are roughly equal, and each party can veto bills proposed by the other party, forming the federal parliament.

This is the result of the final compromise between all forces in the federation.

This 'balanced' system is one of the foundations for maintaining the stable existence of the federation.

The number of senators does not depend on the size of the city. Even a small city like Limen City has a quota of two senators.

Genos is one of them.

His father was a senator, his grandfather was a senator, and his grandfather's father was also a senator.

There are many "political families" like this in the Federation.

Following the information given by Romek, Eve dug out many interesting things.

Genos' family controls nearly 80% of the construction projects in Limen City.

Through indirect shareholding or agent participation, they have become the ‘winning bidders’ of most projects in Limen City.

The seemingly brilliant Romek is actually just a wage earner who 'works' for the Genos family.

Most federal projects are contracted out through tenders.

Whether it is a public project from the city government or a consortium project from a large consortium such as Qunxing Pharmaceutical, as long as it is a construction project that requires bidding, most of the time, the Genos family will arrange for people to bid.

And they often win the first shot. No matter how stringent the project imposes on bidders, the Genos family can always 'just' meet these conditions.

Then it is easy to ‘win the bid’ at a relatively high price.

However, some construction companies with low and cheap bids find it difficult to win the bid.

At this time, the Genos family, which has won the bid, will contact these cheap construction companies and 'subcontract' the projects they have obtained to these construction companies.

They don't have to do anything to enjoy the price difference.

According to federal law, this behavior is allowed and is a normal corporate profit-making behavior.

At least on the surface, this is all in order.

Of course, these things will not be known to ordinary people.

If it hadn't been for Romek's reminder, Eve would have only collected public data on the market, and without digging deeper, it would have been difficult to find out the series of operations of the Genos family.

And after years of 'accumulation', the Genos family should already have astonishing wealth.

Ho opened Genos' personal information.

It is generally difficult to completely hide the personal information of such politicians, and their family background will be more or less revealed.

When Genos was born, his father had already been elected as a senator for one term. He grew up in a privileged environment and lived a very happy childhood.

This kind of life lasted until he was eight years old.

His father was suddenly killed in his mansion in Nancheng, Limen City.

This mansion is a rare single-family villa in the entire federation.

This incident alarmed the entire federation. The final result of the FBI investigation was that it was homicide, but the murderer has not been found yet. Genos was in that mansion at the time, and he saw with his own eyes his father's ferocious expression after his death.

According to his later interviews, that incident left a great trauma in his heart and eventually prompted him to study medicine.

He said that if there were doctors around his father at that time, his father might not have died.

Later, when he grew up, he entered the Stars Medical College in Irons and obtained a doctorate in medicine before the age of twenty-six.

After graduating with a doctorate, he worked at the headquarters of Qunxing Pharmaceutical for several years. It was not until he was thirty years old that he returned to Limen City and announced that he would continue his father's legacy and run for the Senate, and successfully won the election.

It is now his third term.

After his successful election, most of the bills he pushed were related to medical treatment, and his actions seemed to revolve around his status as a medical doctor.

When He Ao saw this, he fell into deep contemplation.

The death of Genos's father was about forty years ago, at the same time as the demolition and reconstruction project of Morakot Park. Almost immediately after the death of Genos's father, the progress of the Morakot Park project came to a halt.

Genos entered the work of Qunxing Pharmaceutical when he was twenty-six years old, that is,
Chapter completed!
