Winnie suddenly wanted to run in Orange County, Los Angeles.This was really a surprise for Abel.In the United States, politics is a business.Why is it a sale?
Because over here......
Receiving money is legal, and beware, it's perfectly legal legally!
Of course, their methods are much more sophisticated than across the Pacific!
Officials here, especially senior officials, usually work as consultants or directors in a consulting company or various enterprises after leaving office.Every day, you don't need to do anything, you only need to come out to help the company lobby when you need it, and the salary is very high, all of which are millions of dollars or tens of millions of dollars.In addition to this, there are even more naked ......
There are two most classic examples, one is the previous president, Mr.
O'Aoguanhai.Immediately after he retired, a publishing house approached him and asked him to publish an autobiography with a royalty of $60 million!
$60 million!
It's almost time to catch up with the royalties of Harry Potter, the world's best-selling book!
Don't Lao Mei like to watch Harry Potter and their Mr.
President's autobiography, are people here so politically conscious?
What's more worth mentioning is that the $60 million was given directly before Comrade Ao Guanhai's autobiography was written.The meaning of the publishing house is obvious: you take the money and spend it first, and the book is written slowly......
Hehe......
If $60 million isn't enough for a president to deserve it, look at the following example.The following example is much lower.This time it's the mayor of New York City.There was once a famous mayor of New York, this gentleman never received an annual salary of $2 million, and insisted on only taking $1 a year, how incorruptible!
By the way, he spent $69 million in campaign funds to run for mayor, and what is even more surprising is that he paid for it out of his own pocket!
By the way, in the 12 years he served as mayor of New York, in order to better perform his duties as mayor, he paid $650 million out of pocket in 12 years!
How great this is, how incorruptible this is, if all the mayors of this world are like this, then this country must be the first power in the world!
It just so happens that the United States, the country where New York is located, is the world's number one power!
Is that really the case?
Hehe......
Here's a small mention that the mayor named Bloomberg had a personal fortune of only $1 billion when he first became mayor of New York City.Then, 12 years later, he stepped down from the mayor's post as mayor of New York, and his assets grew from $1 billion to $27 billion.27 times, 12 years, an average of a little more than twice a year.Mr.
Bloomberg is so great, so honest to be the mayor of New York, to give so much for New York.While being the mayor of New York, he was able to work hard to run his own property and make his assets grow by leaps and bounds.This is definitely super talent!
Is this really the case?
Hehe......
Bloomberg became mayor of New York City and developed journalism and partnered with Wall Street in the field of financial journalism.A series of radio stations, websites and television stations named after him were opened.In particular, Bloomberg Newswires, which he founded before his election, developed into the largest enterprise in the financial information market during his election.So you see, he doesn't have to be greedy at all, he's a New York policymaker, and he can enact economic policies that favor his own business behavior.I used it a few times in a row, and I gave two examples in a row.This is to illustrate, in Abel's view, that is really promising to be in politics on the American side!
A Bloomberg without a plug-in can spend 12 years increasing his assets by 27 times.If only I could sit in that position.Gee......
That money-making speed, I can't even think about it!
This kind of thing is already blatant here, and if the above example still feels complicated, there is a more simple and crude analogy: I am a New York tycoon, my family sells electric cars and shared bicycles, and I charge heavy taxes on those who drive gasoline cars......
Next, Bloomberg, a retired man, is the best example.On top of a black Cadillac.Abel turned to Winnie and asked, "You want to run in Orange County?"
What position to run for?
Prefectural councillor?!
”"Uh-huh!"
Winnie nodded."
In this midterm election, an Orange County councillor had some health accidents and was unable to continue his duties.The people of Orange County can't afford to have a voice to speak for, and my father and their friends thought I was a good fit to be the voice of Orange County. ”This was so high-sounding that Able was even a little speechless.He asked, "Have you been there?"
”Winnie hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Does driving by count?"
”Abel replied: "Hehe......"
Orange County is a relatively wealthy county in southern California, with an area of 2,455 square kilometers and the third-largest population for the entire next week.This is no small place.In terms of its economic strength and territorial population status, if you compare it with California and Guangdong Province on the Chinese side, it is probably the same as Haizhu in the Pearl River Delta region, or even higher.The status of a county councilor is probably that of a person with real power, a representative of the Congress, and a member of the CPPCC.This kind of power, if it were East Asia, would be mostly borne by some elite who are in their 40s and above.But switch to this side.Winnie is only 23 years old."
Is there a big chance of success?"
Abel asked.Winnie replied with only one voice, "Hmm." ”All right......
So sure.But if you think about it, it seems to be understandable, this is the daughter of the Addams family, and it is estimated that even if this side does not make any efforts, she will publicize her identity and the glorious past of her ancestors during the election campaign.I guess I can get a bunch of votes.Here, this kind of bloodline and ancestors are not something that is secretive, but a kind of glory, a kind of glory that ordinary people will subconsciously follow when they see it.The bloodline is even more ingrained here.Abel doesn't give up, as Winnie's man, when his wife wants to do something about it, it's not good for him to stand idly by!"
What about political donations?
What's missing here!?
”Winnie gave him a handsome glance and said coquettishly, "It's just a county councilor!"
How much donation will I need?
”"Okay......"

Abel thought too.The mayor of New York City, one of the most economically prosperous cities in the world, is so much more senior than a county councilor, and he only paid $69 million, which is half the price he paid for 67 Beverly Park.A county councilor in Orange County estimated that donations could cost anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.Winnie also has another layer of identity in the Addams family, and it is estimated that the cost will be even rarer.And now is the end of the midterm elections, the time when the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party are at their most fiercely contested, and the pond of America has turned into muddy waters.It's the best time to fish.It is estimated that Abel Adams also thinks so, seizing such a good opportunity to directly push his daughter to the throne.It was thought that Winnie might become a county councilor in the future, a state official who seemed to be of a good rank.In the future, he can say to others: I have not been a county councilor, but I have been a county councilor!
Come to think of it, Abel is still a little excited!
