Chapter 1001: Midnight Party

Late at night.

The celebrations in the outside world are gradually subsided, and the Lee Apartment in West Midtown is brightly lit.

In fact, just after the fundraising meeting, Li Zitao and Mary rushed home as soon as possible, because they had to welcome a large number of guests.

Not only business partners, but also good friends from Congress.

Roosevelt's new term had just begun, and the same was true for everyone else.

The Speaker of the National Assembly, the leaders of all parties, have a lot to do.

However, they were all happy to go to Li Zitao's house for a drink at this time.

They're in New York, aren't they?

"It's great that the Republican Party is once again a stepping stone for him. "In the open bar of the apartment, someone was complaining about the recent elections.

As expected, Roosevelt was re-elected, and the Republican Party once again acted as a chaperone, which was really a glorious mission.

"But we're close, aren't we?" said some of the middle-aged self-deprecating chuckles.

By 'closeness,' he meant the number of votes in the most recent election, with the two sides only separating the votes by just over 2 million.

Compared with the 5 million, 9 million and 4 million in previous issues, it is indeed an improvement, at least it can be comforted by itself.

"Don't tell me the numbers, because it only reminds me of the fact of failure. "Dang Ste's face was not good-looking, like swallowing a fly.

When Stead had moved into Capitol Hill, the former state Senate president was now the Republican whip.

The party whip is equivalent to the second-in-command in the party, and there is only the party leader above him.

Of course, there is also the Speaker on Capitol Hill, and it will be the turn of the party leaders next, and they are only assistants to the Speaker.

But as the party whip, Pawn Ste's position in the Republican Party is as important as Taishan.

"Charlie, thank you for your donation. Speaking of the campaign, when Stead thanked him on behalf of the Republican Party.

Prior to the campaign, Mr. Lee provided $200,000 in political cash to the Republican National Committee, which has become the norm.

However, in the vote, Li Zitao did not exert any influence or pressure on his staff.

It's not yet time, but votes are the lifeblood of politicians.

It was too fragile, sensitive, and dangerous, and Li Zitao didn't want to abuse this big killer until he was sure of its safety.

It is not only a pity to kill chickens with a knife, but it is also easy to injure yourself by a knife.

"You're welcome, I'm a Republican... Although there is not even a piece of paper. Li Zitao patted his legs and laughed.

"Hey, man, you can't always bring this up. When Stead looked at him innocently, he spread his hands to indicate that it had nothing to do with him.

This is exactly what happened, and discrimination against minorities was not his final say.

This is the norm in the United States, and there are problems everywhere in life...

No, it's not even a problem.

Because in the eyes of at least half of the Caucasians, minorities should not exist, as if these people were born with something less than them.

There are not a few people in Congress and the government who share the same idea.

In other words, it is impossible to do what he wants at the moment.

Voters are picky and headstrong, and they turn their faces as fast as women.

One second ago, he will wave the flag and cheer for you, as if you are the savior of everything, God Almighty.

The next second, you don't meet their requirements, or you make a little mistake, such as not doing what you promised, even if it's just a little bit less...

Congratulations, these voters who supported you before are going to spit in your face and yell, 'You damn Bichi.'" ’

Yes, that's the truest side of America's unpretentious electorate.

And when they find out that they are the ones who need to be flattered, their demands become more and more intense, and their face-changing tricks are self-taught.

"The Chinese are always working on this, you have to do something... My friend. Li Zitao said earnestly: "They are my compatriots. ”

In fact, Li Zitao lied.

This matter is not simply about the affection of compatriots, or Li Zitao's sense of belonging, etc.

What is more important is the benefits and rights.

No matter what he thought in his heart, he did too many things that he shouldn't have done and took many risks that he shouldn't have taken.

Now, enough is enough.

And what he values more now, as mentioned earlier, is interests and rights.

This is the thinking and consciousness that a mature capitalist should have, which represents the good side and indicates that he is moving towards a more mature stage.

Think about it, once he can break the solid iron wall of the Chinese Exclusion Act, the reputation he brings alone can make him a hero in the eyes of a few.

If they have the right to vote, only a few employees of Li Zitao's company will be able to increase 5~80,000 votes.

Influence, for him, is the means to grasp power.

Power is not directly in his hands, but through ballots and banknotes, he can control those who hold it, and ultimately hold power in his hands.

Everyone knows it's not an easy task.

Li Zitao didn't even expect it to be done in the middle of this century, and it was great news that he could do it a few years earlier than he remembered.

If it was ten years earlier, then the goddess of luck must have waved her fingers after falling asleep.

"Don't do that, Charlie, you know I can't. When Ste shook his head in frustration, there was really nothing he could do about it.

Do you want him to work against half of the country's voters, if not more than half of them?

Ignoring their wishes and ideas, just to be a good person.

Please, there are enough good people in this world, and there is no shortage of a nobody named Dangsd.

It is better to leave the salvation of the world to God, when Ste is not ready to rob him of his job.

"Hey, what are you two talking about, we're getting ready to play cards, do we want to be together?" said the senators in the distance, planning to add some fun.

"Here it is. Li Zitao raised his hand, looked at Dang Side with a smile and said, "You can go play cards when I haven't said anything." ”

As for the boredom of the midnight party, Li Zitao could only say 'sorry,' to the councillors and gentlemen, because the children could only be arranged in this way for him.

He couldn't afford to risk the kids waking up in the morning to see bras everywhere and long legs missing from their bottoms, which was never a good idea.

"We're going to have to add some chips, how about it?" the senator suggested adding some fun to the game.

"What?" asked the shuffling senator.

"Jefferson Prom tickets, 2 tickets. The previous MP took out two tickets and placed them on the table.

"Ho, looks like I'm going to have to work on something. The shuffling councillor said as he took off his watch.

"Rolex. He looked up triumphantly.

"I guess it's the dirt that was confiscated. When Ste picked up the watch, he said jokingly.

Then I carefully placed the dial in front of me, as if I had found something.

"What?" the previous congressman was surprised by his seriousness.

"This is special labor soil, and you should keep it as a memento. Putting the watch on the table, Ste teased him.
