Chapter 1075: I'm Entering American Politics
"Boss, fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life. ”
Rosemary, who came back from Hui Province, strode in front of Chen Geng, looking high-spirited.
Looking at Rosemary, who looked like "Come and praise me", Chen Geng smiled: "The result is good?"
"Very good," Rosemary said happily, "I didn't expect there to be such a project in distant China...... boss, I'm sure that VCD will be a super project no less than a TV, every family needs a TV, and in the future, every family will also need a VCD. ”
Chen Geng raised his thumb.
To some extent, Rosemary is right, in just a few years after the emergence of VCD, taking advantage of the rapid development of the domestic electronics industry, VCD has entered the family at an unprecedented and rapid speed, although the ratio of VCD DVD player and TV set in the family has not reached 1:1, but even in rural areas, the ratio of VCD DVD player to TV set has almost reached more than 3:2: almost three families have TV sets, and two families have VCD DVD players.
The emergence of VCD players has greatly enriched the business life of the people in the late 90s and early 2000s, but standing at the moment of 1994, no one thought that the life of VCD players and the DVD players was so short: thanks to the rapid development of the Internet in China, VCD players and DVD players are completely "their rise and prosperity, and their demise is also sudden" To describe, it seems that the good DVD player products that can be sold in the previous year will suddenly not sell in the next year, and at this time, on the other side of the ocean, many American families are still using videotapes as the core of home audio-visual entertainment.
Seeing that the boss recognized her statement, Rosemary was shocked, and then said: "Boss, I'm going to keep an eye on this project when I go back...... That Meng made a very serious mistake and wanted to cross-license with Scooper, and we still have a lot to do. ”
"Then you just do it," Chen Geng said without hesitation: "If you need any support, just tell me." ”
No one knows better than Chen Geng what a huge VCD market will be in the next few years.
Rosemary laughed happily, although she knew that as long as she made such a request, Chen Geng would definitely agree to herself, but it was one thing to understand that it was another thing to see this scene happen in person, she smiled and said, "Thank you, boss." ”
"You're welcome," after chatting with Rosemary, Chen Geng suddenly said, "Mary, I'm going to run for the next mayor of Detroit." ”
According to the election time of Detroit City, the second half of this year is the time when all candidates who are interested in running for mayor of Detroit City begin to build their own teams and make their voices heard, and next year, it is the time for everyone to officially campaign, this Rosemary knows, but he didn't expect his boss to plan to develop in politics, and he was stunned and couldn't help but say: "Ah...... Why?"
However, after all, Rosemary was an old man who had been with Chen Geng for a long time, although she couldn't understand why her boss did this, but after the initial stunned, she hurriedly said: " Boss, I don't think you are not qualified to be the mayor of Detroit, I believe that under your leadership, Detroit's economy will develop better, and people's lives will be happier, I just can't understand it, after all, if you become the mayor of Detroit, you won't have much leisure time in the future, you don't hate it the most...... Hmmm......"
Rosemary still understands her boss very well, and she doesn't particularly like to work, and as long as she enters the bureaucracy, many things are not up to him.
Chen Geng smiled and said: "There is no reason, it's just that what I found works in the United States may not work in other countries, in the United States, I am a billionaire who must maintain enough respect even if he is the president of the United States, but here, this identity may not be as good as the identity of a lieutenant governor...... Forget it, let's not talk about it. ”
"Oh......"
Rosemary nodded, although she didn't know what her boss had encountered here, but it was clear that the boss was stimulated by something here.
However, since the boss is willing to enter the American political arena, and seeing that he means that he is ready to use the position of mayor of Detroit to practice his skills and prepare for entering a higher level in the future, Rosemary did not ask more, but immediately said: "OK, boss, if you think about it, you are indeed ready to participate in the election of mayor of Detroit next year, then I support your decision," After a brief pause, Rosemary said again: "Boss, I want to recommend someone to you to join your campaign team." ”
"Oh, what kind of person?" Chen Geng was a little curious.
"One of my aides, Patricia Edith Harris," Rosemary said, "has been with me for several years, and she's got a very talented talent for public relations, and I'm thinking Patricia can help you." ”
Patricia Edith Harris?
Of course, Chen Geng knew this woman, who joined Rosemary's management team about four years ago and is now the head of Rosemary's PR team, and she is in charge of many of the PR work of Fernandez Investment Group, and she can be regarded as one of the most trusted people around Rosemary.
What Chen Geng didn't know was that if he hadn't shown up, Patricia Edith Harris would have joined Michael Bloomberg's team this year...... Well, this Michael Bloomberg is Michael Bloomberg, the owner of Angpen@Boshe...... And eventually became a close confidant of Bloomberg, not only became Michael Bloomberg's head of public relations, but also helped Bloomberg manage his family fund, and became one of the core figures of Mike Bloomberg's campaign in the 2001 New York City mayoral race, and made great contributions to Michael Bloomberg's three consecutive terms as mayor of New York City. Edith Harris is the deputy mayor of New York City and was once again a central figure in Michael Bloomberg's campaign when he was interested in running for the presidency of the United States.
But even if Chen Geng didn't know this, it didn't matter, based on his trust in Rosemary over the years, since Rosemary was able to recommend Patricia Edith Harris to herself, it meant that this woman was worthy of her trust.
Without hesitation, Chen Geng smiled and nodded: "Are you saying that Patricia is very good at handling public relations?OK, if you think she can be trusted, and her ability is also trustworthy, then let her come over and report, as long as she is willing." ”
Chen Geng gave himself face, Rosemary was very happy, and hurriedly thanked Chen Geng: "Thank you, boss." ”
As for whether Patricia Edith Harris was willing to join Chen Geng's campaign team, she didn't think about it at all: if there is a chance to join the boss's campaign team, will Patricia Edith Harris, this little, refuse? What are you kidding!
"We've been friends for so many years, why are you talking about this," Chen Geng waved his hand, paused, and asked Rosemary: "Mary, you know that I am interested in entering politics, do you want to join my team?" I promise you, when I win the election, you will be one of the deputy mayors of the city of Detroit." ”
After going back this time, Chen Geng will participate in the mayoral election of Detroit, which can be regarded as the first practice for those more fierce elections in the future, Detroit City in 1994 still maintains the last glory of the "North American Motor City", and it is quite difficult to run for mayor of Detroit at this time.
Rosemary was a little moved, but this excitement didn't last long, she hesitated slightly, but still shook her head: "I? I'll forget it, I'm too old to take care of many things at the same time, let Patricia help you, I'll help you keep the property." ”
Now that Rosemary has made up her mind, Chen Geng is no longer reluctant, as for age, although Rosemary is nearly 50 years old, it is a bit nonsense to say that she can't take care of all this.
........................
Patricia Edith Harris came to China with Rosemary this time, and after receiving Rosemary's notice, she immediately came to report to Chen Geng.
This is the first time Chen Geng has carefully looked at Patricia Edith Harris, 38-year-old Patricia Edith Harris is a typical blonde beauty, with a capable atmosphere and a hint of intellectuality, looking very friendly, no wonder he can become the head of Rosemary's public relations business.
After looking at Patricia Edith Harris, Chen Geng said, "Miss Harris, Miss Rosemary told you everything, right? Let me ask you again, would you like to join my campaign?"
Although Chen Geng knew that it was impossible for Patricia Edith Harris to refuse him, the procedure that should be taken still had to be followed.
"Boss, I am very honored to be able to join your campaign team, and I am very happy to be able to get such an opportunity to contribute to you," Patricia Edith Harris did not look particularly nervous, she bowed slightly to Chen Geng generously, and said: "It is my honor to be able to contribute my strength to your campaign." ”
"It's also my honor to have an elite like you join my team," Chen Geng nodded: "What do you think are my strengths and weaknesses if I want to run for mayor of Detroit? What should I do in the early stages of the campaign?"
This is the examination school, and whether Patricia Edith Harris is eligible to join Chen Geng's campaign team.
"Your greatest advantage is that you are the richest person in the world, which means that you have an extraordinary, unattainable talent in business," Patricia Edith Harris said without hesitation: "It is a great thing for the citizens of the city of Detroit that a man of extraordinary talent like you is running for mayor of Detroit, because in almost every market in the past, there is hardly anyone who can show a similar talent as you;
Other than that, you won't be under pressure for campaign money, which is unmatched by other contenders;
These two advantages also mean that as soon as you announce your candidacy for mayor of Detroit, you will surely receive the most attention and attention, and as long as you can convert that gaze and attention into votes, you will win...... In that sense, you're the best candidate for mayor of Detroit;
And when it comes to your disadvantage, your wealth is also your disadvantage......"
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
Chen Geng raised his eyebrows and asked Patricia Edith Harris with interest.
"Quite simply, you're too famous, too wealthy, and there's a fear that you're going to turn that position into an opportunity to amass your personal wealth when you become mayor of Detroit. ”
