Renstorff understood!

"Whoever you decide to support with your full strength has a more than 90 percent chance of becoming mayor of Detroit," he said. ”

The tone of disdain is completely disdainful, not like he is talking about the mayoral candidate of the largest city in the United States, but it seems to be despising Wang Er Mazi next door, and he wiped his mouth with fatty pork slices, pretending to eat meat at home.

it! What's going on?

Rao is Chen Geng is well-informed, but when he heard Reinstorff's words, he was also confused: What do you mean by whom I support, who can be the mayor of Detroit?

Reinstorff thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Fernandez, do you think that with the backing of the three major American automakers, the city of Detroit and the successive mayors should have a good life, the mayoral competition should be fierce, the election should be very difficult, and the funds should be spent a lot?"

"Yes," Chen Geng nodded, he really thought so in his heart: "I think that with the three major automakers in the United States at their back, a little leakage from their fingers is enough for the mayor of Detroit to eat." ”

Reinstorff smiled, he had a "I knew you would think so" expression, and waved his hand vigorously: "This is not the case at all, in my opinion, the mayor of Detroit and the entire city hall team are definitely the most difficult administrative team among all the first-tier cities in the United States." ”

"Huh?" Chen Geng was a little puzzled.

Rosemary also raised an eyebrow, becoming interested in Reinstorff's claims.

"The reason is very simple," Reinstorff unveiled the mystery in one sentence: "Because for the three auto giants, Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler, the mayor of Detroit is so insignificant, they don't take the mayor of Detroit in their eyes at all, who are the three auto giants dealing with? Senators, cabinet members, presidents...... Maybe the governor of Michigan might be qualified to negotiate with them, but the mayor of Detroit......? The mayor of Detroit must do what he must do, and he must do it well, he must carry the black pot, and he must carry it well, and if he wants to eat meat, he must dream about it!"

Rainstorff was almost on the ground with a mouthful of "Phew!"

Like a bolt of lightning, Chen Geng instantly understood!

To put it simply, the rank of the mayor of Detroit is too low, and the rank of the three automobile giants is too high, to give an inappropriate example: In ancient times, would the imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs regard the magistrate of a certain county as a dish? No, the imperial merchants of the Interior Prefecture did not bother to look at the magistrate at all.

And in the capitalist country of the United States, the three major automobile giants are many times more than the imperial merchants of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the mayors of Detroit are almost the same as the little eunuchs serving their masters.

From this point of view, every Detroit mayor's life is extremely hard, typical "you come with the black pot, send you to death", no dirty work, hard work can escape, and the benefits are not their share.

Looking at Chen Geng's enlightened expression, Reinstorff knew that he understood, and then said: "Not only will the three major automobile giants of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler not look at them squarely, but even those large auto parts suppliers will not look down on them, you are also in the automotive industry, and you should know things like Lille, Visteon, Delphi and BorgWarner under General Motors...... And so on these auto parts suppliers, almost all of them can enter the top 100 in the national enterprise rankings, all of which are large multinational groups in the world, and many of them are still the world's top 500 enterprises.

They are also senators, cabinet members, and guests of the president, and most recently, they are also dealing with the governor of Michigan, senior state officials, members of the state legislature, how can it be the turn of these members of the city government in Detroit?

The mayor of Detroit doesn't have to wait for two days to get rid of these auto giants' orders, and these giants can get them out of the way on the same day!"

Chen Geng felt that if what Reinstorff said was right, then when the OEMs and spare parts giants in the American auto industry saw the mayor of Detroit, they probably felt like this: "Oh!

Chen Geng is a little sympathetic to the previous mayors of Detroit, although politicians and politics in capitalist countries are for business, but a mayor is like this, you are really hard enough, people say that the long A county order is not good, because the long A county order is under the imperial city, high-ranking officials are everywhere, and the royal family is not as good as a dog.

It is joked in the officialdom that only the bad people of the ninth generation will be arranged by God to grow up in the A county order, which is to make you frightened day and night, and you can't sleep night and night, but speaking of which, the mayor of Detroit is too much harder than the "long A county order", although the long A county order is inevitably a variety of black pots, but the achievements can also be seen by the emperor, and there is a chance to be promoted, what benefits can the mayor of Detroit get? In the eyes of those capitalists, the mayor of Detroit is not even as good as a dog, and if you have a dog at home, you have to lose a bone, but the mayors of Detroit are counting on the giants to throw you a bone?

I really don't know how many lifetimes of sins have been created to become the mayor of Detroit.

It seems that this topic has aroused the interest of the conversation, or Rainstorf has too much to say about this topic, and after taking a sip of water, Rainstorf continued: "The most bitter thing is that the mayoral candidates in Detroit have not been able to attract too many large sponsorships, and we all know that in the United States, except for the kind of small cities and small towns that do not need the sponsorship of big donors, other relatively large campaigns must be supported by big donors to win."

But Detroit, as the Motor City of the United States, the three major auto giants and auto parts giants will not provide a dime for these candidates, anyway, no matter who is the mayor, they have to listen to them obediently.

Excluding the auto manufacturing and auto parts companies, are there any other large local companies? No, Detroit's previous mayoral candidates are the most difficult existences, and they simply cannot get the back-the-scenes support of the big financiers. ”

Speaking of this, Reinstov looked like "I'll tell you a secret": "Do you know how much campaign money the incumbent mayor who was elected the year before last raised money?" Without waiting for Chen Geng to speak, Rehenstorff said with a fluttering eyebrow: "$300,000! Only $300,000?"

"$300,000?" Chen Geng was taken aback.

Even after Rainstorff said so much, Chen Geng had expected it, but he never imagined that he would be able to become a mayor with $300,000 in campaign funds? Mayors of first-tier cities in the United States basically need at least $7.8 million in campaign funds to ensure a 50 percent election rate, while Detroit only needs $300,000?

"Well, it's 300,000," Reinstov nodded: "It's only been two years, why do you want to run for the new mayor? Because the pressure is too great, and there is no benefit, this guy really can't hold on, so he has to resign." You see, there are only a few candidates in the mayoral race, and there are only four candidates! This is the largest number of mayoral races in Detroit in the past. ”

Chen Geng felt a little sorry for the former mayor when he heard this: Look at your life, can you still be a little harder?

"That's why you said that Fernandez fully supports which candidate will be elected?" asked Chen Geng.

"Yes. Renstorff nodded.

As for the US law, in order to ensure the fairness and impartiality of the election campaign, government candidates are not allowed to accept large sums of campaign funds, and how can the accounts of campaign funds be made public......

That's a joke that makes everyone laugh out loud!

It looks like a fence around the tree, but in fact the fence is broken enough for two trains to run side by side, and those candidates who are running for election have 10,000 ways to get the money and make their campaign process fully comply with the relevant campaign rules.

In the United States, in the capitalist world as a whole, it is as ridiculous to say that candidates will abide by the law as it is to say that the law in the United States is fair – the law is fair, but whether you can win the case depends on how much money you have and how good a lawyer you can hire. If you don't think you have much chance of winning, then just use the money to smash the guy who sued you.

"In this case...... Chen Geng touched his chin and asked Reinsstorff with an open face: "Who do you think I support better?"

Before Reinsstorff could speak, someone next to him couldn't help but ask Chen Geng: "Mr. Fernandez, why do you plan to gain influence over the mayor of Detroit?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone, including Chen Geng, looked at this guy with the same eyes as if they were stupid: Are you stupid?

What good will it do for Fernandez to gain influence over the next mayor?

There are so many benefits!

One thing that everyone understands is that in the United States, the Chinese are a relatively bullied group, just look at how many times Fernandez has fought with the gangs and black gangsters in Detroit since its establishment, if it weren't for Chen Geng's more than 30 veterans, Chen Geng's business would be a question mark, but if the next mayor went up with Chen Geng's support, for Fernandez Company, one of the most obvious, The most direct benefit is that Detroit is the chief of the police department who is appointed by the mayor, is this benefit enough?

The mayor said, "Your police department should go around the vicinity of Fernandez Company more often, don't let gangs and gangsters cause trouble in the past, and you see who else dares to come to Fernandez Company to make trouble?"
