Chapter 0086 - Reaching a Consensus (Asking for Recommendations, Collections)
Last time I said goodbye, Li Zitao specially investigated Roosevelt, and the governor's calendar was absolutely golden.
From Harvard to Columbia Law School, he was elected to the New York City Senate at the age of 28, re-elected at the age of 30, and was appointed Undersecretary of the Navy by Wilson at the age of 31, a position he held for seven consecutive years.
At the age of 37, he joined James Cox's presidential campaign and ran for vice president at the same time, both of which he lost.
At the age of 38, he was diagnosed with polioinflammation, which paralyzed the lower half of his body.
But even this did not defeat him, and he remained active in politics, an active member of the Democratic Party, and was represented by his wife, Anna Roosevelt, in Congress.
Thanks to his active efforts, the urban and rural factions of the Democratic Party were closely united, and with his series of actions, it was enough to analyze that he was planning a larger plan.
What's more, Roosevelt had followed the 28th president, Wilson, for a long time and was very highly regarded by this president.
A large part of the reason he lost his bid for vice president was because he spent his time lobbying for President Wilson's plan for the League of Nations.
And, as it stands, he has inherited President Wilson's power in the Democratic Party.
There is also the Roosevelt family, whose influence in the Republican Party should not be underestimated, and if Roosevelt participates in the election, I am afraid that the Republican Party will be full of debate.
In addition, he has experienced a losing vice presidential campaign, participated in the presidential campaign team, and has been taught by two presidents, so he has a lot of experience in running for the election.
The fact that he easily defeated his opponent and became governor of New York this year is a good proof of that.
As for the question of disability, Roosevelt had given the perfect answer in the previous campaign: "The governor is not necessarily an acrobat, we did not choose him because he could do forward or backward rolls, he did mental work, he did it for the benefit of the people." ”
Look, what a beautiful rhetoric!
Such statements and the optimism that exudes from him have made people in the midst of disasters feel more empathetic and more identified with the governor.
"Yes, I'm building a campaign. The two went to the corner reception area, and Roosevelt made no secret of his ambitions.
"Need help?" asked Li Zitao.
"Your Republican friends won't like it. Roosevelt laughed.
"It seems that I need to reiterate that I am a non-partisan, don't I?" said Li Zitao, pointedly.
"Is this luck or misfortune?" Roosevelt did not shy away from the question.
"Who knows!" Looking at him with deep eyes, Li Zitao smiled, raised his glass and said, "Cheers to our friendship!"
With a noncommitalt toast, Roosevelt asked, "What are your plans?"
"Nope. Li Zitao spread his hands aggressively, seeing that he didn't say anything, then continued: "Okay, I have a think tank under my name, and they will give you advice." ”
Roosevelt said meaningfully, "A brain full of wisdom?"
"Yes, it will help you to victory. Li Zitao bragged unceremoniously.
"No, it's us. Roosevelt pointed at the two of them, his smile full of wisdom.
Seeing that Roosevelt agreed, Li Zitao breathed a sigh of relief, because in the face of this governor, there are really not many cards he can get in his hand.
The Roosevelts were not just a political family, they owned more property than corporations.
From 22nd Street to 46th Street in Manhattan, from Fifth Avenue to the banks of the Hudson River, 86 percent of the properties belong to this low-key family.
There are also buildings, bustling streets, and hotels in many American cities, and the land below is also the property of the Roosevelt family.
At the same time, the Roosevelt Trust also has a great reputation in the United States, which can be summed up in one sentence, "Uncle is not bad for money!!"
Therefore, from the very beginning, Li Zitao did not use political fundraising as a condition for cooperation, but directly put the think tank on the table as his bargaining chip.
The fame of Club 22, as well as the gains of the think tank in the stock market, had long been spread in high circles, and Roosevelt had certainly heard of its existence.
"I will arrange for someone to invite you in the near future, if it is inconvenient, the membership registration can be done by mail!" Li Zitao gestured as an ally.
"No, I want to see it for myself. Roosevelt refused.
Since the other party wanted to go and see it, Li Zitao naturally would not refuse, and the two returned to the banquet hall with a smile and a smile, and Mayor Carl came over.
"Charlie, when is our contract signed?" Karl said about the S.H.I.E.L.D. branch.
Li Zitao's recent movements are not small at all, especially the large-scale recruitment of Berchd in several states near IL, which makes him red-eyed and warm-hearted.
"I'll talk about this tomorrow, and I haven't had time to communicate with the lawyer yet. "Li Zitao hasn't had time to meet Sanielle today, and he won't promise casually if he doesn't know the progress of the negotiations.
"That female lawyer of yours is a tough one. Carl said with emotion.
"Of course, you didn't pay her a salary. Li Zitao smiled proudly.
"Come here, Charlie, and I'll introduce you to a new friend. Not far away Fulence shouted, and beside him stood a strange man.
Tall and thin, with eyes and a friendly smile on his face, he nodded when Li Zitao looked at him.
"This is White, I think you've heard the name, he's just been inaugurated as IL governor, and he's a rising political star in our Republican Party. Fulence enthusiastically introduced.
"Lee, your name is all too familiar to me. White was the first to reach out.
"Just call me Charlie, that's what my friends call me. Li Zitao also sent a friendly signal, after all, he still has some things to trouble the governor.
"Let's talk about it, I'm going to invite a beautiful lady to dance, and the music is fantastic. Fulence said and turned to leave.
"Charlie, first of all, I want to congratulate you on the opening of McDonald's, those fast food tastes very good, I have tasted it myself. ”
"Yes, my countrymen must be thrilled to receive your praise. ”
"Listen to Jevic, do you have plans to move your property?" White said to the point.
"The future direction is more in accordance with the development needs of the industry, and even I can't be sure about this kind of thing. Li Zitao did not directly state his intention to transfer.
"Then I'm relieved. White let out a long sigh of relief.
It's a bit of a joke, and it's a bit true.
If, during his tenure, Li Zitao's industry is fully transferred, it will not be a small blow to him.
Ace doesn't need to worry for the time being, after all, its main industry is in IL.
S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to have the greatest potential, but so does its uncertainty, but Chicago still has both population and transportation advantages.
Needless to say, can Li Zitao move the theater?
The Twin Towers and the Blue and White Building, which are bidding for design proposals, also give White a little more confidence, after all, these subjects cannot be moved.
However, the newly developed Golden Arches and the San Francisco-based Bercht are Wright's biggest concerns, and the jobs they can provide are too covetous.
And there was Carl staring at him, looking at the eyes of that blue pool, he was about to swallow Charlie. White cursed inwardly.
"By the way, Charlie, is there any trouble with taxes?" White suddenly mentioned this matter, which saved Li Zitao from taking the initiative to speak.
"There wasn't much trouble with the company, but I had some problems with my personal income. Li Zitao spoke out about his troubles.
"The state government is currently negotiating a law, and I will bring up the issue of raising jobs and charitable tax credits at the meeting. ”
"White, I don't want to get my friends in trouble. This won't make you embarrassed, right?" asked Li Zitao fakely.
The ghost doesn't care if you get into trouble or not, as long as you can pay less taxes, everything else is a floating cloud.
"Don't worry! White didn't care if his concern was true or not, it wasn't difficult for him.
In order to allow the magnates and tycoons to take out the money they have stored, increase the amount of foreign trade, and drive the flow of the market economy, the whole of the United States is cutting taxes, who can find fault with it?
After everything that should be said, the only thing left is to eat, drink and have fun, Li Zitao also danced with Bergman, but his performance was a little miserable.
With the control of his body, although there is no embarrassing situation of stepping on his feet, his dancing posture is like a stiff puppet.
"I'll invite 10 dance teachers when I go back, mdzz~~" Li Zitao thought bitterly.
"You've done great, don't do that. At the end of the song, Bergman took his arm and smiled comfortingly.
“...... If I laugh again, I'll tear down the Ingrid tonight. Li Zitao threatened with a straight face.
"Hey, I'm comforting you. Bergman's body trembled, and he said with a red face.
"Maybe it works better in bed. Li Zitao smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Would you like to try it?" Bergman replied, not to be outdone.
Looking at Bergman, who had his hair in a high bun, his face was ruddy, and he was wearing a white dress, like a princess, Li Zitao nodded heartily.
It has to be said that in this era, the 1.72cm Bergman is an absolute long-legged goddess, except for wealthy families, most children from poor families are halflings.
If you don't have enough to eat, you can't dress warmly, you have a serious lack of nutrition, it's good to survive, and you still expect to grow taller?
"Do you want something more exciting? Bergman's face was already red and pink, but he still stood on tiptoe and said in his ear, 'Second floor...... Transparent, you can't see ......'
"This is really exciting, what are you waiting for?" Li Zitao's eyes lit up, and he pulled her to the small VIP room on the second floor.
Pushing open the door, a large floor-to-ceiling window stood there, the color of the glass was a little yellowish, and it seemed that some special material had been added to it.
"You really can't see it?" Li Zitao asked, looking at the window.
"Yes. With a soft grunt, Bergman was picked up by the waist and rushed straight to the window.
"Ah~" The night is sultry, and the spring is stronger.
Facing the glass window of the inner garden of the hotel, it seems that the deep pool of water has countless waves, and you want to peek but you can't see it really.
It's like paying the highest respect to the disappearing silent film era.
