Chapter 1124: Sit in a row, divide the fruits
If it were not for the collapse of the behemoth of the Soviet Union, the news of Chen Geng's election as mayor of Detroit would definitely have become the headline news that swept the whole world, but not now, just two days before Chen Geng's official victory, the flag of the Soviet Union slowly fell, and with a sound of "boom!", like 100 "Big Ivans" exploding at the same time, the whole world was shaken......
USSR, gone?!
Whether it is China, Europe or the United States, this news has instantly become the headline news of all the media, and all the media, whether it is the traditional serious media such as the Wall Street Journal and the New York Post, or the gossip media such as the British "Sun", are all reporting on this incident one after another, analyzing the significance of the collapse of the Soviet Union, analyzing the impact of Russia, the successor of the Soviet Union, on the world, and analyzing whether the collapse of the Soviet Union will cause serious nuclear weapons proliferation around the world......
As for Fernandez Chan's election as mayor of Detroit?
Hi!
Just find a corner and report it, Fernandez Chen was elected mayor of Detroit, can there be a sensation from the collapse of the Soviet Union?
For this situation, Rosemary, Statham, Helen Mirren, Laylani Taylor, Patricia Edith Harris, Tim Penn and Marion Summerfield and others are extremely angry, especially Helen Mirren, Chen Geng's first personal assistant, is even more angry about this situation.
"Actually, I think that's a good thing. Patricia Edith Harris, who had not spoken much, spoke.
Before Chen Geng could speak, Helen Mirren was not happy: "What are you talking about......
"Helen," Chen Geng waved his hand, signaling Helen Mirren not to worry, "In fact, my opinion is the same as that of Patricia, and I also think that this is a good thing. ”
“......”
Helen Mirren, Statham and others, who were originally angry in their hearts, suddenly stopped talking, they could doubt Patricia Edith Harris, but they would definitely not doubt Chen Geng, but they still hoped that Chen Geng could give themselves an explanation: why talking is a good thing.
Chen Geng motioned to Patricia Edith Harris, "Patricia, tell everyone about it." ”
"Okay," Patricia Edith Harris felt that this was an opportunity for the boss to give himself an opportunity to show his talents to everyone, and she was not polite: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think so: although there is no doubt that the boss will be elected mayor of Detroit, he is a Chinese American after all.
And unlike Mr. Huang in California, our boss is not only a Chinese, but also the richest man in the world, which determines that the boss will receive far more attention than others after being elected, and his every move will be watched under the microscope, and now, everyone is paying attention to the collapse of the Soviet Union......" Patricia Edith Harris shrugged: "Isn't this a good thing for the boss?"
The Chinese American in Patricia Edith Harris is the first Chinese-American mayor of the United States, Huang Jinbo, who was successfully elected mayor of Summer, California, in 1983.
How small is the city?
Before Huang Jinbo's election, Cirui City didn't even have the largest connected supermarket in the United States: Wal-Mart.
After the election of Mayor Huang, he wanted to introduce Wal-Mart to Xirui City, but he was also opposed by the small retailers of Xirui City...... Of course, it's a bit far, listening to Patricia Edith Harris, everyone also reacted: Yes, the Chinese mayor of a small city with a big palm, the people really don't care much, but Detroit is one of the top ten big cities in the United States, and its influence is naturally not comparable to Ciri City.
As Patricia Edith Harris said, if it weren't for the collapse of the Soviet Union, the boss would inevitably be put under the microscope by various media, and from this point of view, it doesn't seem like a bad thing to be low-key at this time.
"Okay," Helen Mirren hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "If that's the case, I'll accept it." ”
Chen Geng nodded and looked around at everyone.
Seeing that everyone didn't react, he said: "Please come over this time, one is to thank everyone, everyone has worked hard during this time, and now the dust has finally settled, everyone can also have a good rest, I prepared a red envelope for everyone, after tonight, everyone has a week's vacation, everyone take advantage of this week to relax;
As for the second thing, I want to tell you about the positions that you will continue to hold in various departments of the City Hall of Detroit......"
In this campaign, in addition to the personal donations of voters, all the campaign funds are paid by Chen Geng out of his own pocket, the advantage of this is that after Chen Geng is elected, he does not have to care about those interest groups, he can toss and toss as much as he wants, but according to the convention, in his campaign team, as long as someone is willing to enter the career, he has to arrange it as much as possible.
“......”
Although everyone had expected it before, at this moment, everyone couldn't help but get nervous.
Looking at everyone's appearance, Chen Geng smiled: "I'm still going to wait for everyone to eat and drink enough before I tell you, looking at your appearance, it is estimated that if I don't say it, you don't have the heart to eat and drink...... Well, let's send out red envelopes first. ”
The red envelope is very large, and the reason why you need to use a relatively large red envelope is because each red envelope contains a check, looking at the numbers on the check, everyone is happy, and obviously very satisfied with the numbers on the red envelope - can you not be satisfied, the lowest is 50,000 US dollars.
"Okay, put away the red envelopes, and then I'll talk about the placement of everyone," Chen Geng said this, paused slightly, and asked, "First of all, do you want to work in the government department?"
Facts have proved that the minds of Americans as officials are not weaker than those of the Chinese, and among these people present, the richest ones are such as Helen Mirren, who not only runs Chen Geng's media group for Chen Geng, but also has shares in the media group, and if these shares are converted into cash, she is worth at least 50 million US dollars, and she is also a "half billionaire", but even so, Helen Mirren's eyes are also shining.
And Statham too, Chen Geng started to transfer the shares of the motorcycle factory in Thailand to the veterans led by Statham, and Statham is also a millionaire worth millions of dollars, but even so, he did not stand up and say that I don't want to be an official.
Why do you want to be an official?
This is actually very simple, the positions of various government functional departments under the Detroit City Hall are indeed not taken into their eyes, but everyone knows that the mayor of Detroit is not the end of Chen Gengshi's career, on the contrary, this is the starting point of Mr. Fernandez Chen's career, the boss will not only be the mayor, but also the governor, senator and even secretary of state in the future. Can't be an indispensable person around the boss, when the boss goes to a higher position in the future, will he still have his own place next to him?
On the other hand, how can a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire be comparable to such a position? Once he reaches that height, he is no longer a matter of his own alone, which means that he can build his family into a wealthy political aristocrat of the times, and such a temptation is difficult for anyone to refuse.
As for the question of whether billionaires are fragrant...... If you look at those billionaire families thirty years ago, how many of them are still passed down to the present?
Chen Geng also understands this, so he secretly felt ruthless in his heart: Who will tell me in the future that Americans don't want to be officials, and Lao Tzu will whip him with a big mouth!
Scolding in his heart, Chen Geng, who had expected this situation, was not surprised, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, then I will say it bluntly, Patricia, I promised you to be the head of public relations and government press spokesperson of my ruling team, and when I take office, you will be the head of public relations and press spokesman of the city government of Detroit, as for whether you can become a deputy mayor in the future, it depends on your ability and performance." ”
"Thank you, boss," Patricia Edith Harris didn't expect that the boss had arranged it first, and she was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, I will not let you down." ”
Chen Geng nodded, then looked at Statham: "Statham, you have been by my side for a long time, so I will give you two choices, one is the city police department, and the other is the city fire department, you choose one yourself...... First of all, it is impossible for you to be a leader, you can only start from the deputy director, as for whether you can become a leader, or what I just said to Patricia, it depends on your ability and performance. ”
Statham didn't hesitate at all: "Boss, I choose to go to the police station." ”
"Have you thought about it?" Chen Geng raised his eyebrows: "To tell you the truth, the police station is not the best choice, the oil and water are not as rich as the fire department, and the work is even more tiring." ”
"Boss, I've got it figured," Statham said calmly, "You must have someone you trust and a force you can command in the police system, and I'm willing to go to the police station." ”
Statham's answer did not disappoint Chen Geng, he bowed his head slightly, and nodded: "Okay, then you go to the police station, as for the business in charge, look, I will try my best to win you the traffic patrol police department...... Rosemary, do you have any department you'd like to go to?"
"Me?" Rosemary smiled, "Since Mr. Statham is willing to go to the police station, then I'll go to the treasurer." ”
"You're going to the finance office?" Chen Geng was a little surprised.
"Well, I'll help you keep an eye on it. Rosemary nodded.
Many people know more about the U.S. political system is based on the election of the president of the United States, and always feel that the president of the United States is stumbling by the Senate and the House of Representatives all day long, and there is nothing else to do except for arguing with the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The so-called "weak mayor system", needless to say, is a miniature version of the president of the United States, but under the "strong mayor system", the mayor can be a big deal, in addition to being directly elected by the voters, he also has the power to appoint the heads of various government departments, veto bills passed by the city council, etc., of course, in major issues must be decided by the city council, but the general government affairs are all decided by the mayor.
If you make an analogy, you can probably see it as a guy who combines the secretary and the S chief in China, and even has more power, after all, the domestic S chief and the secretary still have to listen to the province, but in the United States, the situation of the mayor not the governor is simply not too common.
The mayors of cities such as New York, Washington, San Francisco, and Detroit are "strong mayors" by this standard.

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.
Statham didn't hesitate at all: "Boss, I choose to go to the police station." ”
