Chapter 0715 Ballots
Republican senators, speakers, governors get together and talk about the gas, women, travel and beaches, the smell of alcohol and perfume wafts in the air.
Grace seems to have seen a lot of such scenes, smiling politely when someone greets her, quietly pointing out that she is a flower with a 'master', and easily dismisses the entanglement.
Bergman was a little clumsy, and most of the people here today were self-righteous bad old men, who used to either borrow money or take advantage of the situation to dress women.
I still feel good about myself, and my ability to talk awkwardly is even more terrible than that of a straight man of steel.
"When I was younger, everyone called me Ham, the batsman, and every time I swung my bat, there was thunderous applause......
Do you know Clark Gable, who just became popular? Friends say he looks like I was when I was younger, and he was so ......."
Just when Bergman was about to pour the wine on his face, a hand suddenly put on her shoulder, and a gentle laugh came: "Baby, what are you talking about?"
Finding the stunned expression of the fat man in front of him with a greasy face and a little baldness, Bergman pursed his lips and smiled: "This Mr. Ham said that Gable is like when he was younger. ”
Before she could finish speaking, Bergman couldn't help but press her fingers to her lips, the corners of her mouth twitching back, and now she realized how funny this sentence was.
With Li Zitao by her side, the disgust, anger and uneasiness in Bergman's heart instantly settled down.
"Ham?" Li Zitao raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "Where are you from?"
Ham smiled a little awkwardly, he was just an ordinary state senator, and if he didn't have something to do with Speaker Downside, he wouldn't even be eligible to attend this banquet.
Li Zitao's banquet list did not have this Mr. Ham at all.
It's just that this Senator Ham is a hungry ghost in the middle of lust, and it can basically be said that he is unhappy with no woman, and he can't walk when he sees a beautiful girl.
From the time Grace and Bergman came in, he couldn't help the heat in his heart, he was looking for Grace at first, but he didn't expect to be sent away by the other party's words.
So he could only target Bergman, but he didn't expect this girl to really have feelings for him, looking at her dodging gaze and pink face, she was obviously shy.
Obviously it was his dislike and disgust with him, and the alcohol reaction after drinking became a manifestation of Ham's attraction to him.
It's this honeyed confidence that keeps Ham fighting for performance in front of Bergman.
"Hello, Charlie, I'm Ham. Ham stretched out his hand and smiled.
"Charlie?" Li Zitao raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "Am I familiar with you?"
Ham's hand froze in mid-air, and he just looked straight at him as he put his arm around Bergman, his eyes full of anger.
"Ham..."When Ted had already found out about the situation, but he didn't want to cause trouble for himself, thinking that Ham would be interested in leaving.
When he found out that the situation was developing further, Charlie Lee's brow furrowed, he knew that he had to come forward.
"What's going on?Charlie?" asked when Stead asked with a smile of curiosity.
"This Mr. Ham may be a little confused about his identity, when Ste, do you know him?" Li Zitao said in a playful tone.
"Haha, I think there must be some misunderstanding here...", his face did not change, and when Ste patted him on the shoulder and said, "How about we go have a drink?"
"Of course you can, but I think your councillors should be more serious, especially when it comes to ethics, not everyone is suitable for the councillor's job, right?"
Li Zitao tightened his hand on Bergman's shoulder as he spoke, and beckoned to Grace, who was tasting wine not far away.
Adams hesitated to look at Ham, and when he saw that his eyes were still on the woman who was slowly approaching, his face full of 'men understand'.
Ste's eyes immediately became stern: "Ham, you should leave." ”
"Mr. Speaker?" Ham kept his mouth open, unsure of what he was hearing.
"I said you should leave, and I'll study your questions when I get back. With a decision in his heart, Ste's expression became cold.
It's just a councillor leaning towards him, who originally wanted to train him, but now it seems that there is no need for it.
Whether it is in front of Dang Side or Li Zitao, he is just an inconspicuous little person, and he can handle it as he wants.
It only takes one sentence to make him lose everything, just like now.
There will be something good about the councillor who can appear here, and it is very easy to find some problems from him and let him get out.
When Stead doesn't do that much, when he gets back, he will ask Ham to take the initiative to resign, and the reasons have already been thought out for him, 'because of personal problems with his body.' ’
He is not the first to leave politics for the same reason, and he will not be the last.
Every year, there are some legislators and senior civil servants in the states who end their terms early for the same reason, and they really think that they are all physical problems?
It was really because of physical reasons that I resigned, and there was not even 1 percent of these people.
Ham walked out with a dead face, and Li Zitao hugged left and right and talked and laughed with Dang Ste, and forgot about this little person in a blink of an eye.
Inviting Republicans to the party this time was not a big deal, mainly to connect with each other and meet some new friends.
"Speaker Stead is a generous friend, just like Charlie you are. Walder and Li Zitao sat in the quiet conversation room with cigars in their mouths.
"What do they want?" Li Zitao spat out smoke rings boringly.
"Of course it's the ballot, is there anything more important than that?" Politics is like a big organization with large and small groups in it.
The Walder family is part of this organization, and the vote is like 'currency in circulation' to them, and it is also a value to these families.
Initially, Li Zitao's Chinese and blacks made up a large percentage.
These non-voting minorities didn't make much of an impact, but as he deepened his cooperation with other families, the merger of Mobil and Alaska Standard, the re-expansion of Bercht, and the balance of personnel within the company...
Under a series of changes, Li Zitao has more and more power to speak.
It is no exaggeration to say that the influence of Burchd and Golden Arches is now enough to influence and even influence the election of CA and IL.
Bercht recruited large numbers of suffrage whites at the CA in part to balance the racial issues within the company, which began after that incident.
In terms of Golden Arches, the headquarters of the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce is in Chicago, and its Golden Arches include McDonald's, Subway, KFC responsible for breeding, slaughtering, and food processing, and Tex for transportation, packaging, and agricultural machinery research and development.
Pioneer Technology and Aegis Motors are also in IL, and while these companies create wealth, they also create a small number of wealthy people and a large number of middle class.
As these people have money in their pockets and move from their original neighborhoods to middle-class, upscale neighborhoods, they have begun to pay a conscious attention to elections.
This is the impact of the environment on people, in the past, their community only paid attention to firewood, rice, oil, salt, sesame seeds and garlic every day.
Filling your stomach is the most important thing, who still cares about elections, cares about votes.
But after moving into a new community, neighborhood conversations, community events, etc., will make them unconsciously change their previous thoughts.
They have become concerned about community, state, and federal issues, and have become more aware of the power of the ballot, and they are unknowingly increasing the impact of the company.
As the boss or major shareholder of these companies, Li Zitao's influence naturally increased.
