In a certain year's U.S. presidential election, when the host excitedly read out the results of the vote count, the whole United States was boiling, countless people were shouting, dancing and laughing, and the whole United States seemed to fall into a carnival all of a sudden, especially in various black enclavages, everyone took to the streets, desperately waving the Star-Spangled Banner, shouting Long live the United States, long live the president with natural human rights!

Even the supporters of the defeated president did not have much pessimism, and they all admitted with a smile that this presidential election opened a new chapter in American history, because the president of the United States was inaugurated by a black president of African descent.

In the live broadcast room, Omar, the winner of the election, accepted the result with a smile, he picked up the microphone and said: "This result is very good, in fact, Mr. Walsh is also a very strong contender, I was very difficult to achieve this victory, but I think this victory is very worthwhile, because this is a victory for democracy, but also a victory for the United States to accept new challenges, but also a victory for the host, because you successfully witnessed this victory." ”

Omar's humor made the host laugh, and he continued: "Of course, I would like to thank a lot of people for this victory, first of all, the Republican Party, because without the support of the partisanship, I would not have been able to complete such a difficult challenge alone, and secondly, I would like to thank all my supporters, especially all my compatriots, for going to the polls rain or shine, because without your support, I would not have been able to achieve this miraculous reversal." ”

Speaking of this, Omar paused for a moment before adding: "But these are secondary, and what I should be most grateful for is actually a Chinese, because without his initial support, I might have to go to university to teach, not politics, and even less to run for president." ”

"Everyone says that the president of the United States is great, and the person who guided the president to be elected president is undoubtedly even greater, so who got this honor?" the moderator asked.

Omar shook his head: "I'm sorry I couldn't name him before I was authorized, I can only say that his surname is Zhou, and he is a greater person than me." Luckily I met him at the right time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to imagine what I would be doing now, teaching at a university, or being a decadent person receiving benefits every day? I don't know, and no one knows. ”

……

Time goes back to 90 years, and nearly a week has passed since the Brooke incident, and everything is back to normal, whether it is the operation and investment of Wharton Insurance Company, or Zhou Ming's daily lessons.

"It's a great pleasure to see Zhou Ming come to class every day. ”

Zyra said happily that in her opinion, there is nothing that makes her happier than Zhou Ming going to class on time every day, and Zhou Ming feels very helpless, he is also the head teacher of the finance class, even if he is reborn, he will not be so disinterested in learning, on the contrary, after having a lifetime of experience, he will regard knowledge as more important. If I hadn't done so many things before, I wouldn't have missed so much school.

As for Zyra's favor for herself, it is also a headache for Zhou Ming, because there is also Ye Ning by her side, every time she sees Zyra, her pretty face is frosty, coupled with Zyra's enthusiasm is like fire, she is tormented in this ice and fire.

After class, Zhou Ming handed over the textbook to Ye Ning to take back to the dormitory, and he drove to a café outside the school.

"Hey Zhou Ming, we're here. ”

Zhou Ming just walked into the café when he heard someone greet him, it was Danny, the president of the Harvard Student Union, and there was a middle-aged man who was a little older and similar to him with him, Zhou Ming was not difficult to guess that it was his father, and Zhou Ming asked them to come here today to have something very important to discuss.

"I'm sorry Danny, I'm a little late and you've been waiting. Zhou Ming came over and said politely.

Danny waved his hand and said: "It's not a big deal, after all, Zhou Ming, you guys have missed too many classes, I think you must be the first person except for those bastards who were expelled halfway, you must be the first person, you should also pick up these courses again, otherwise it will be a very shameful thing to not finish your studies, although you have many more important things, but the school can not care so much, you know, the church is always very rigid." ”

Then Danny introduced Zhou Ming and the middle-aged people around him to each other: "This is Mr. Ball, he is my father, and he is also the founder and current chairman of Ball Investment Company. Mr. Pol, this is Zhou Ming, the classmate I mentioned to you. ”

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Pol. ”

Zhou Ming took the initiative to greet Boldanny, and then the three of them sat down together, and Boldanny first asked Zhou Ming: "What is the market value of the company, Zhou Ming, and how much capital is available for investment?"

This question made Zhou Ming stunned for a moment, Danny didn't expect his father to ask such a question in the first sentence, he said angrily: "Mr. Pol, I can't imagine that you are really the chairman of an investment company, how can you directly ask such an undisciplined question? Don't you know that this is very impolite and business-literate?"

Poldanny didn't care about him, just looked at Zhou Ming and waited for his answer.

Ball Danny's problem is actually an important reason why they came out to meet today, I still remember that when Danny and Zhou Ming met for the first time, he said that he hoped to cooperate with Zhou Ming, and then it was delayed due to Zhou Ming's various things, and now that the matter on Brooke's side is over, Zhou Ming has seen the wonderful use of American power, so he picked up the original agreement with Danny again, hoping to promote political cooperation.

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: "My company is a newly established insurance company, which is of course too far behind Mr. Ball's investment company, but it also has a cash flow of more than 100 million yuan, which is enough to support most investments." ”

"Including supporting the election of a district chief?" Poldani asked again.

"Yes, of course. Zhou Ming nodded and said, "If Mr. Pol needs it, I can even take charge of the election of a mayor." ”

In the face of Zhou Ming's confident answer, Poldanny was still not satisfied: "Zhou Ming, are you sure you really know about an election? The so-called election expenses are not just those expenses published in newspapers and television, they are all for the purpose of fooling ordinary voters, and the actual expenses and hidden expenses incurred are the most prohibitive for all small conglomerates." ”

"I'm mentally prepared for all of this, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here today talking to you, Mr. Pol, about co-financing the campaign. Zhou Ming said.

"If that's the case, that's a great thing, and I really hope that there will be a mayor or even a mayor who can be pushed to power together by us, so that both your insurance company and my investment company can be further developed. ”

Pol Danny said and took out a sticky note and handed it to Zhou Ming and said, "This is my account for the Election Foundation, as long as Zhou Ming makes $100,000, I believe it will be very helpful for this election." ”

Zhou Ming picked up the sticky note and glanced at it and said, "100,000 US dollars is indeed not such a huge expense, I can send it in at any time, but before sending money, I want to ask Mr. Pol a question, that is, who is your candidate?

"It seems that Zhou Ming is a very cautious person, and it is a very good habit to be serious and meticulous. "My elector's name is John, and he is a barrister at the gold medal law firm, and he has a very high degree of jurisprudence, and he is very good at arguing, and he often makes his opponents helpless in court, and he is also very politically savvy, and he has the qualities of an elector." ”

After saying that, Poldanny thought for a moment, and finally added: "In addition, he also has a Democratic membership, and you may not know that here in Massachusetts, people with Democratic status are always easier to win." ”

Zhou Ming said: "I have every reason to believe that this lawyer John must have been carefully selected by you, Mr. Pol, but with all due respect, I have not heard of his name, and if Mr. Pol trusts me, can I hope that I will pick another candidate? ”

"You might miss out on the best too. Poldanny took Zhou Ming's words and said, "Zhou Ming, you are Chinese, you don't know the situation in the United States, this Mr. John, he once won the community election, that is an election with no backing, everything depends on himself, whether it is funds or operations, can come out of here is the real politician, and lawyer John he meets this condition." ”

Finally, Poldanny also asked Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you said that you have not heard of lawyer John, so who have you heard of? This is a regional election, not a presidential election." ”

I've heard a lot of people.

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly in his heart, what he had heard was actually his memory before he was reborn, whether it was a star governor or a presidential candidate, after all, the United States is the only superpower in the world, and the consultation is developed, and many things can be known even if you don't check it.

Well, even so, Zhou Ming has never heard of this lawyer John. This shows that he is just a very mediocre person, and he knows that he is a mediocre person and still invests, and he is really bad in the brain.

However, there is no way to say this to Pol Danny, and in the end Zhou Ming can only say from the side: "I don't think so, Mr. Pol, there are too many accidents in the community election, because there are very few people in the community who participate in the election, and it is possible that his relatives and customers are here, so he can win the election more easily, but this is magnified to the district election, the situation may change a lot, and I hope that our candidate can be elected in the end." ”

However, Poldanny obviously did not understand: "Mr. Zhou Ming, it seems that we have a big difference, if you don't trust my elector, then you can nominate another one yourself, and I will be very happy to see it, but there is one point, my foundation will not give any support, at most I can answer some of your consultation questions." You know, a fist can only be used at its greatest power if it is clenched together. ”

"Thank you very much, Mr. Pol, so our cooperation can only be lip service, and although $100,000 is not a huge amount of money, I still don't want to invest in something hopeless. Zhou Ming said.

Poldanny smiled disdainfully: "There is no hope? Zhou Ming's words are really surprising, but I think it's the so-called young and vigorous, too young businessmen, you will always be conceited to make decisions that you think are right, and carry them out willfully, and you won't change without experiencing failure." So I advise Zhou Ming, don't be too willful. ”

"But I don't think I'm going to fail, I'm going to succeed. Zhou Ming said.

"Is that so? If we gamble a hundred dollars, you're going to lose. "Boldani is confident.

Zhou Ming smiled and said, "Deal." ”
