Chapter 170: Expected and Unexpected

Anderson knocked on the door of Chen Geng's office: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"Well," Chen Geng motioned to Anderson to find a chair to sit down on his own, "How is the situation during this time?"

It's not time to do a weekly report, but Anderson is not surprised, and he doesn't allow the boss to suddenly be interested in the business situation below, he nodded again and again: "Very good, I wonder if I want to expand the venue, add some more manpower, and the sales of second-hand car parts are also improving......

Chen Geng nodded again and again, after such a long time of hard work, the "devil's claw" is completely established in Detroit, and it is already one of the most powerful companies in Detroit recognized as having the strongest modification technology, and its scale, technical strength and ability can be ranked among the top five modified car companies in Detroit. But this is not the reason why Chen Geng called Anderson over, and after Anderson finished speaking, Chen Gengjing asked himself: "Anderson, are you interested in politics?"

"Politics?" Anderson blinked, his face was dazed: didn't you ask me to report to you? Why did you suddenly jump into politics?

"Well, Detroit has two seats in the House of Representatives, and if you're interested in that, the company will support you," Chen explained to Anderson, "Of course, in return for your support for the company, you have to do your best to help the company grow in your future political career." ”

Anderson's heart thumped.

Although Anderson is now a wealthy class that surpasses the middle class and earns two or three hundred thousand yuan a year, don't forget, how long has he been in Fernandez Company?

It's barely a year.

Before joining Fernandez, he was just an engineer who was fired from Chrysler Motors, not to mention such a lofty career path as "politics", he didn't dare to think that Anderson at that time was thinking about where I would earn my food money tomorrow.

That is, after Fernandez entered May, his life slowly got better, and even at the end of the year, he received a dividend of more than 60,000 US dollars, but before that, he never thought about politics - like the Chinese people, although the United States is a country where capital has the final say, but for ordinary American people, politicians and politicians who hold government power in their hands are still an incomparably tall and unattainable The existence of ordinary people is awe-inspiring (remember the case of the female student who was tortured to death by her boyfriend in Germany?why has that German scum not been punished by the law for so long?is because that scumbag's father is the deputy chief of the police department), even if he is a little rich now, Anderson still never thought that he could one day become a politician, such as a member of the city council.

But...... Anderson was a little incredulous, and he felt like he had been hit in the head by a pie falling from the sky.

For big capitalists and big conglomerates, politicians are just puppets in their hands and a means for them to achieve their goals, but for more than 99% of Americans, if they can successfully enter the political arena, they will have the opportunity to build a Xuanhe family, and they will have the glory and wealth for several lifetimes, whether it is in China or in the United States, this kind of opportunity is available but not sought.

Is Anderson excited?

Of course!

As for Mr. Fernandez's remark that he would do his best to give back to the company after a successful campaign, Anderson didn't think there was anything wrong with that, and it was a matter of course.

"I ...... I ......"

"I'd better be more direct," Chen Geng thought for a while, and simply said: "You should know that Alex Goodrich relied on my support to get up, but as the scale of our company continues to expand, there must be more political spokespersons to help me speak to ensure that the company's interests are not infringed upon."

You are now running for the city council of Detroit, and I will try my best to persuade the entire used car industry in Detroit to support you, and in the future, I and the used car industry in Detroit will support you in running for state legislature and congressman, and then you will not only be the spokesperson of Fernandez, but also the used car industry in the United States. The spokesperson of the scrap metal recycling industry and the auto parts and auto repair industry, you should know how huge this is, such a huge existence, you need to have your own spokesperson in politics, more than you must have your own spokesperson in politics and be able to make your own voice. ”

Anderson swallowed hard!

He admits that Mr. Fernandez has a point, that when the company was small, it was just a small company, and there was no need to think about it so much, but now, seeing that the company is getting bigger and bigger, it is time to start cooperating with Chrysler Motors, and it is time to start supporting his own political power.

Of course, after becoming the spokesperson of the company and even the industry that the boss said, he will also earn a lot of wealth.

"I ...... Can you ask why me?" Anderson asked after a moment's hesitation.

Chen Geng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "It doesn't have to be you, isn't this asking for your opinion, if you are not interested, of course I will not force you, and then I will ask Bob again, if Bob is not interested, then I will ask Rachel or Aniston again...... Until you find the right person, do you understand what I said?"

It is like a basin of cold water poured down.

Only then did Anderson realize that Mr. Fernandez did not choose himself because of his "clear bones and sensitivity to politics" and the like, all the senior members of the company were in his consideration, and he was just the first person he asked, and if he was not happy, he would not have the slightest regret, and he would immediately replace the next person.

I thought I had some qualities in myself that were favored by the boss, but it turned out that I thought too much about it.

Originally, I had a small abacus in my heart, wondering if I could bargain with the boss if it was really as I thought, hehe......

"Can I think about it?" Anderson asked, looking up after a moment's thought.

"Of course, but I hope you will do it as soon as possible," facing Anderson's puzzled gaze, Chen Geng still explained to him: "The Edward family in Detroit is the director of the Detroit Public Utilities Bureau, and he hopes that his younger brother will run for one of the positions, and Vice Speaker Davis of the Michigan State Assembly hopes that his son's political career will start from the Detroit City Council, so I don't have much time to wait for you to make a decision, do you understand?"

"Director Edward and Deputy Speaker Davis are eyeing the seats of these two councilors?" Hearing Chen Geng say this, Anderson was a little frightened: "Then don't I have to face the Edward family and the Davis family?"

"So you're going to quit, aren't you? If you're going to give up, that's fine, I totally understand. Chen Geng nodded: "Of course, as a friend, I remind you that the higher you go, the fewer resources there will be, and the more fierce the competition will be, which is the same in any industry." ”

"I ......" hesitated, and Anderson gritted his teeth: "Boss, I'm sorry ......"

Are you really going to give up?

Chen Geng is not surprised by Anderson's reaction, for laid-off engineer Anderson, whether it is Director Edward or Vice Speaker Davis, they are all high-minded existences that make him look up, but just hearing the other party's name scared Anderson retreated, Chen Geng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, such a spokesperson who will retreat when encountering difficulties is obviously not a qualified spokesperson.

Nodding, Chen Geng said, "I can understand." ”

........................

"I'll do it!"

Unlike Anderson's cringe, Rachel did not hesitate to express her attitude before Chen Geng finished speaking, and even when Chen Geng clearly stated who the two competitors she was going to face were, Rachel did not waver, and made it clear that she decided to run for city council......

"Because the Edwards family and the Davis family are interested in the positions of these two councillors, I am going to give up? What are you kidding?" Rachel, a somewhat delicate and gentle woman, was not at all like her usual appearance: "If that's the case, then let's not do business anymore, just bow our heads and admit defeat...... When we were just starting out, which of those used car dealers in Detroit didn't have more advantages and strength than us?"

Rachel's attitude made Chen Geng's eyes shine.

After talking to Anderson and Bob successively, the two guys who already had a small fortune were reluctant to take the risk, but unexpectedly, Rachel, a woman, was actually very interested in politics.

"Are you sure you want to participate in this campaign?" Chen Geng confirmed to Rachel again: "I remind you once again that once you set foot on this road, you will be tightly tied to me." ”

"I think it's good to tie it together," Rachel said nonchalantly, "Can you still treat me badly?"

"Okay," looked at Rachel silently, and after a while, Chen Geng nodded slowly: "In this way, from now on, we are partners, and the shares you occupied in those projects in the company before, I will start to operate and officially determine the identity of your partner...... Since you believe me, then I will try to make you a female billionaire and congressman in the United States. ”

"Hah...... Then I'll thank you in advance," Rachel was also polite, and accepted it with a big thorn, which in her opinion was also what she deserved: "But my gender, is it really not a problem?"

I didn't expect Rachel to worry about this problem, Chen Geng smiled: "On the contrary, in my opinion, if you operate and use it well, your gender is your advantage - there are not many female parliamentarians, and once in a while, it comes out with a public focus aura." ”
