Alex Goodrich on the other end of the line was silent.

Chen Geng seemed to see that he was hesitating something, and said: "Alex, I understand your concern, but since you are now the lieutenant governor, if you go up, you will be nothing more than a senator or governor, in this case, I suggest you try to run for governor...... Being able to become a governor is undoubtedly a better platform for you, even from the perspective of the 'money scene'. ”

“……”

Alex Goodrich thought about it again, and after a while, he finally nodded: "You're right, even if you take a step back, with the experience of running for governor twice, I will run for the senate in the future, which is also a great qualification, right?"

Chen Geng laughed: Talking to smart people is to save trouble.

"Is there anything I can do to help this time?" asked Alex Goodrich again to Congchen Geng.

"No," Chen Geng shook his head decisively, now is not the time to play the role of Alex Goodrich's wonder team: "But how much do you know about Tim Pan?"

"Tim Pan?" Alex Goodrich really knew about this guy, and his voice sounded surprised: "This guy is very powerful, and he is very good at campaigning...... Are you going to ask him to be your campaign manager?"

"Someone recommended him to me. Chen Geng's words were a little vague.

"Hmm...... Ah," Alex Goodrich nodded, "If it's running for governor, this guy may not be able to give you much of an advantage, but if it's just running for mayor, his ability is absolutely competent, plus your star power and financial resources, I don't think anyone else can pose a threat to your target." ”

When his big financier set his goal for the mayor of Detroit, Alex Goodrich thought that this guy had won, even if he didn't know that Tim Penn might become Mr. Fernandez's campaign manager, he didn't think that Chen Geng's loss was too big: Chen Geng's advantage was too great, not to mention, as a shareholder of Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors in the United States...... At present, who is engaged in the automobile industry and automobile-related industries in the United States, who can not sell the face of their financiers? Who dares not to sell the face of their financiers?

As long as the slogan is right, Detroit's auto workers and automobile-related industry workers will definitely be staunch supporters of their big financiers, Alex Goodrich has no doubt about this, and now with the help of Tim Pan, a veteran campaigner, Alex Goodrich really doesn't think Chen Geng will lose.

It's just that at the same time, Alex Goodrich felt a little strange in his heart, Mr. Fernandez talked about Tim Pan at this time, did this guy put forward very excessive conditions? Impossible, this guy is recognized as a smart man, and knows how to advance and retreat......

"Everything is possible until the results come out," although Chen Geng also thought so, but he still said politely, and then brought the topic to the guy Timpan: "But this guy proposed that he wants to join my ruling team...... You know what I mean, right?"

Sure enough, when he heard Chen Geng say that Tim Pan wanted to join Chen Geng's ruling team, he instantly understood the true meaning of Chen Geng's words: Is this Tim Pan trustworthy?

This "whether it is trustworthy" is not Chen Geng asking Alex Goodrich, whether he can develop this guy into his own confidant, can give his back to the other party with confidence, if anyone dares to have such a naïve idea in the political arena, then he still doesn't want to mix in the political arena, politics has always been a union of interests, today can join forces because of interests, tomorrow it is possible to draw a knife because of interests, Chen Geng's real meaning is actually to ask Alex Goodrich, this Tim How is Pan's political discipline, and whether he will mess around - if this guy is not a well-behaved guy, he will ruin his reputation in the future.

After realizing Chen Geng's real needs, Alex Goodrich's first reaction was to push it away: on the surface, he just briefly introduced the situation of Tim Pan, but the problem is that if Tim Pan does something that does not conform to the situation he said under the gold lord in the future, he will have to eat and hang, and Alex Goodrich feels that he should not carry this responsibility.

But when the words came to his lips, he stopped again: a push of 625 is certainly brisk, but is this a good thing for himself?

Of course not.

Given the relationship between myself and Mr. Fernández, I have to say this today.

Thinking of this, Alex Goodrich's brain began to spin rapidly, and after waiting for about a minute, he slowly spoke: "Tim Pan...... Anyway, I don't know him very well, I haven't dealt with him much, it's all hearsay about him......"

"Hmmm......"

Chen Geng replied and motioned for Alex Goodrich to continue.

Alex Goodrich was overjoyed when he heard this, and he knew that he had guessed correctly. Then he continued: "First of all, this guy has served as the mayor of a small city for two terms, and I personally think that he has the ability to govern, although his ability may not be outstanding, but since he can be elected mayor for two consecutive terms, he must still have some talent."

But since he only served two terms as the mayor of a small city of hundreds of thousands, and now he wants to seek a position under you, I personally think that this guy has political ambitions, and he also has political ability, but his talent is probably limited, but if he only does executive work, it shouldn't be a ......big problem."

That's the truth!

The city where Tim Pan served as mayor before had a total population of about 100,000, which is roughly the same as the population of a small county in China, that is to say, this guy's previous position was roughly equivalent to that of a county magistrate in China, and he could serve two consecutive terms as a county magistrate, just like Alex Goodrich said, this guy's ability must be there.

But since he is already a "county magistrate", with such a good foundation and platform, and has the ambition to enter politics, why did he not do it with such a good platform?

Thinking about it, the reason seems to be very simple, his ability is not enough to support him to continue to go up.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, this guy's bad luck, although he is talented, but not as good luck as Alex Goodrich, he did not find a suitable big funder to support him, so he had to find his big funder by being a campaign manager, after knowing that Chen Geng intends to run for mayor of Detroit, this guy is keenly aware that this is an opportunity that he has been looking for.

With such thoughts turning in his heart, Chen Geng responded and nodded: "What else, you go on." ”

"Okay," Alex Goodrich replied, "but I am not particularly worried about his political integrity, except for some doubts about his governing talents: since he has served two terms as mayor and has worked as campaign manager for several people, he should know very well what he can and cannot do if he is in politics......

After all, you are only his boss and leader, not his parents, even if he does something wrong in the future, you are at most an unknown person and is blinded, what does the rest have to do with you?"

Alex Goodrich heard the meaning of Chen Geng's words, and really changed what he was going to say.

Chen Gengyi patted his head: Yes! This is reasonable, everyone is an adult, you admit the consequences of your own mistakes, Lao Tzu is just your superior, at most you are just an unknown person, according to the political tradition of the United States, the big deal is to apologize, as for the rest, why do you want so much?

After thinking about this layer, Chen Geng knew what to do.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Geng instructed Leilani Taylor: "Leilani, you contact Mr. Tim Pan and say that I want to have an interview with him." ”

Leilani Taylor was slightly surprised: What does the boss mean is that he is ready to let this Tim Pan be his campaign manager?

But she is a smart woman, since the boss has chosen Tim Pan, of course she will not question Chen Geng's decision, but immediately respond.

After hearing the news that Chen Geng wanted to meet him and interview him, he immediately told Leilani Taylor that he could go over now and meet Mr. Fernández Chen tomorrow morning.

…………………………

I have to say that Tim Pan's first impression of Chen Geng is very good, this guy is at least one meter eighty-five tall, two centimeters taller than Chen Geng, tall, personable, meticulous in combing his hair, although he is already a person who is almost 50 years old, but his spirit is very good, the most rare thing is that this guy does not have the most common big beer belly of middle-aged men in the United States, obviously this guy has put a lot of effort into daily personal management.

Chen Geng usually has a good impression of a guy who can manage his personal image, and he did not immediately ask Tim Pan about his future political development goals or why he would like to be his campaign manager, and how he plans to help him win the election, but asked: "Mr. Pan, you have put a lot of effort into personal image management?"

Tim Pan was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Chen Geng to see his first face, and he was talking about things that had nothing to do with the campaign, but this guy's life experience can be described as rich to the extreme, and after being slightly stunned, he immediately smiled and said: "I think that no matter what industry it is, a good personal image will help me establish a good first impression in front of my partners, and a good first impression is the best way to open up cooperation between the two sides, which is not only respect for partners, but also respect for their talents." …… Well, Mr. Fernandez, you are already so rich, and you pay so much attention to the management of your personal image, which is what surprises me, and it is said that with your wealth, you can enjoy your wealth without any scruples. ”

This guy not only touted Chen Geng, but also praised himself, and at the same time hinted to Cheng Yan: Dude is a very self-disciplined person, don't worry.

Chen Geng didn't just want to be praised by others, he nodded and asked Tim Pan: "Mr. Pan, I have read your personal resume, since you have the desire to enter politics, why don't you continue to seek higher heights after serving as mayor for two terms, but instead become a campaign manager?"

Tim Pan stretched out his hand, his expression a little helpless: "To tell you, I also want to continue to go up, but you know, for me from an ordinary middle-class family, I don't know any big people, so the mayor of a small city with more than 100,000 people is my limit, I think my talent can make me do better, but I can't find anyone willing to support me." ”

Chen Geng immediately asked, "So you use it as a campaign manager to find people who are willing to support you?"

"Yes. Tim Pan nodded happily.

"But you can go to the homes of those big people and sell yourself to your door," Cheng Yan didn't seem to agree with Tim Pan's statement, and immediately shook his head: "With your resume as mayor twice, it shouldn't be difficult to find a party boss or a rich man who is willing to support you." ”

"Mr. Fernandez, I have really tried the method you mentioned, but their request ......" Tim Pan smiled bitterly, "I really dare not agree." ”

PS: Sorry brothers, please wait a few minutes.

Tim Pan stretched out his hand, his expression a little helpless: "To tell you, I also want to continue to go up, but you know, for me from an ordinary middle-class family, I don't know any big people, so the mayor of a small city with more than 100,000 people is my limit, I think my talent can make me do better, but I can't find anyone willing to support me." ”
