Chapter 626: No matter how you calculate it, you won't lose
Introducing his political resources to Chen Geng, such a big matter, of course John Tostedt didn't dare to make a decision casually, but anyway, for Wells Fargo, as long as Fernandez Chen Ken made a condition, it was a good thing, John Toxtedt asked Kelly Hicks to tell Chen Geng: He can't make the decision on this matter, but he will immediately submit it to the directors and give a reply as soon as possible.
Chen Geng was not surprised by Wells Fargo's answer, it would be hellish if Wells Fargo could give an answer immediately for such a big matter.
It's just that......
"You want to run for state legislature?" Looking at Alex Goodrich in front of him, Chen Geng felt that his brain was a little insufficient: You have done a good job as the mayor of Detroit, and there is more than a year left, why are you going to pat your ass and leave?
"Sir, you know, my goal is to become a senator," Alex Goodrich explained seriously in the face of the puzzled eyes of his big donor, "I know it's hard, but the mayor of Detroit is just my first step, and after having a good starting point, I intend to show my abilities at a higher level, and ...... in addition"
Speaking of this, Alex Goodrich lowered his voice: "I have communicated with Willis about this, he is ready to run for the next mayor of Detroit, as long as he can get your support, I think he has a good chance of success." ”
Willis, also known as Willis Debusscheer, Alex Goodrich's main rival when he ran for mayor of Detroit, was invited by Alex Goodrich to serve as deputy mayor of the city of Detroit after losing the election, and he has done well over the years.
Alex Goodrich's words are to tell his big benefactor: Don't worry, even if I leave, you don't have to worry about the stability of the rear, I have made arrangements...... And the higher I go, the more valuable it is for you, isn't it?
Since Alex Goodrich is smart enough to arrange everything, what else does Chen Geng have to say? He muttered for a moment: "It's just that if you want to be a state legislator, it will take at least ten years or more to successfully enter Congress, right?"
Members of Congress, even those of a relatively large number of representatives, are not easy to run for, and going from state to senator is a huge hurdle that many people may not be able to overcome in their lifetime. Alex Goodrich realized what was written, and he suddenly raised his head to look at Chen Geng: "Sir, what do you mean ......?"
"You know, I'm afraid that there is some energy in the media industry now, and it has its own channels," Chen Geng said with a smile: "If you are interested in running for governor of Michigan, I can help." ”
Running for governor!
For a federal country like the United States, in fact, every state can be regarded as a giant independent judiciary, without complete sovereignty of the "country", can successfully run for governor of a certain state, and considering that almost more than eighty percent of presidents in American history have been governors, so the governor can be regarded as a "presidential internship". Goodrich was thrilled: If he succeeds in running for governor, even if he doesn't end up running for president, his chances of being a cabinet member in a particular administration and running for the senate will be greatly increased.
Alex Goodrich finally retained some of his senses, he swallowed hard, and said with difficulty: "Sir, I am very grateful for your appreciation, but with my qualifications...... Basically, that's impossible. ”
You're smart!
If Alex Goodrich had a hot head and immediately decided to run for governor of Michigan at his own instigation, Chen Geng would have to consider whether to support such an idiot. But now......
He smiled slightly: "Who said that only running for governor can be considered successful?"
“......”
Alex Goodrich was confused: Boss, why don't I understand what you mean?
"I ask you, how likely do you think you are to succeed in your campaign?"
"No more than thirty percent. Alex Goodrich said without thinking: "This is still considering that Michigan has always been the base of our Republican Party. ”
That's right, Michigan has always been the basic card of the Republican Party, basically every Michigan governor has been from the Republican Party, since the founding of the United States, Michigan has only produced three non-Republican governors - and without exception, these three Democratic Michigan governors have not been able to complete their terms.
"So, the next governor will most likely be from the Republican Party, right?"
"Yes. Alex Goodrich nodded, never doubting this, either he nor within the Republican Party.
"So what if you get a consensus and understanding within the party and let the Republican top brass know that your actual target is not the governor, but one of the members of the state government?
“......”
Alex Goodrich was stunned: Damn!
In the next second, he reacted:! Why can't you play like this?!
There are many advantages to playing this way, and there are three obvious ones:
First of all, in the early stage of the campaign, it can help the party resist the firepower from the Democratic Party, although Michigan has always been the basic base of the Republican Party, but the Democratic Party has never given up the opportunity to disgust the Republican Party, at this time, if he also announced his candidacy for Michigan governor, he can naturally distract some of the people's attention to the Democratic Party, which means that the Republican Party has a few more chances of winning;
Secondly, it has greatly reduced the vigilance of the party for itself, if he rashly says that he wants to run for governor of Michigan, it will inevitably disrupt the original established arrangement of the party bigwigs, and nine out of ten will not get the support of the party bigwigs, but if he makes it clear that his goal is not to be governor, but just to become the assistant of the candidates launched by the party and the target to attract firepower during the election campaign, then the situation is completely different, and there is a high probability that it will be passed by the bigwigs;
As for the last point, if you are lucky enough to gain an advantage in the election (although the possibility is very slim, it does not mean that there is no possibility at all, is it?), then what is there to say? Just work hard to win, as for the opinions and attitudes of the party bigwigs? At that time, as long as they fully demonstrate their strength, will those party bigwigs who have always been realistic still not adjust their expectations of themselves?
Even in the worst-case scenario, he failed to run for office, but he also leaked his face in front of the party bigwigs, and the success rate of getting the party to support his run for state legislature was much greater......
Hiss!
This is simply a poisonous plan that can be attacked and retreated...... Oh no!
Alex Goodrich's face began to slowly turn flushed: "Sir, what do you think...... Is it really possible?"
Chen Geng smiled slightly, but did not speak: The implication is that it is feasible or not, don't you have a little pressure in your heart?
"I ...... I ......" Alex Goodrich's old face turned red again: "I think it seems like I can try it...... But before that, you should first communicate with the bigwigs in the party. ”
"That's your business," Chen Geng said with a smile, "I'm just providing corresponding support." ”
"I understand," Alex Goodrich glanced at Chen Geng deeply, "Thank you, sir!" I swear by the honor of my family, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life, and I will repay you as much as I can. ”
Alex Goodrich knows in his heart that he is now the mayor of Detroit, but within the Republican Party, he is not even a "budding man", after all, he is not the own son of some party bigwigs, and he cannot get the resources and credit endorsement of party bigwigs, he can only be regarded as a part of the "party backbone", if he follows the regular development steps step by step, it will take at least 10 to 15 years to achieve the goals he set before.
But this time, the situation is different, if you are lucky to win, you will have the opportunity to enter the top three rows of the party, even if you just enter the state government team, you can also emerge within the party, and then get more political resources within the party.
"Mutual benefit," Chen Geng smiled and waved his hand: "We have to look long enough...... Alex, send me news as soon as possible. ”
"Definitely. Alex Goodrich nodded heavily.
"That's right," just as Alex Goodrich got up to leave, Chen Gengcai said something as if inadvertently: "I plan to set up an aircraft disassembly factory in Huaxia, will there be trouble in this matter?"
"You want to set up an aircraft dismantling factory in Huaxia?" Sure enough, hearing Chen Geng's words, Alex Goodrich frowned slightly: "This ...... I'm afraid it's going to be a bit difficult. ”
"Huh?"
"Of course there is no problem with the car dismantling factory," Alex Goodrich hurriedly explained, knowing that Chen Geng had a car dismantling factory in Huaxia, but car dismantling and aircraft dismantling were not the same thing at all: "But aircraft dismantling ......"
"I understand what you mean, there is some confidential information that needs to be kept secret," Before Alex Goodrich finished speaking, Chen Geng said: "But what I send to Huaxia for dismantling will only be civilian aircraft, and military aircraft will only be dismantled at dismantling plants in the United States." ”
"In that case...... It shouldn't be a big question, but I can't answer you right now," Alex Goodrich thought for a moment and said, "But I can help you ask." ”
Although I don't know why Chen Geng did this, since the gold owner wants to do this, and it's not a big deal, what else can I say besides contributing?
