Chapter XXXVII
Omar will inevitably lose the election, because the difficulty he faces is too great, and even on the first day, due to the parking lot, there is no parking lot within a radius of two kilometers nearby, so they can't park, and finally they can only choose to find a remote corner that the traffic police can't see, drop the voters one by one, and then let them go to the polling place to vote.
This method is undoubtedly forced to be helpless, and at the same time, many voters have lost their last patience, after all, although they support Omar's policies and hope to enjoy the health care reform promised by Omar, but that's all, it is absolutely impossible for them to waste too much time desperately trying to vote for Omar, they are not fanatical enough to believers.
Although there were two days left to vote, not many people ended up to vote because they were all on the working hours and the voters only took a maximum of one day off.
The results of the vote count were announced on the 9th, and there were no surprises, as Omar lost to Botb by a vote of 47 to 136.
In front of the bulletin board of the Capitol building, Botbury danced happily, deliberately came to Zhou Ming and said triumphantly: "If I were you, I would definitely not come here today, because you don't look at your configuration, and insects, you are only worthy of being slaves in the dark mines, elections are the right of American citizens, you can't even have the slightest chance of winning!"
Saying that, Bothburg suddenly remembered something: "I heard that you have moved to live in the Vida community for the election of Omar? It seems that you have really taken great pains for the election, but it is useless; or I can choose you to be my assistant and help clean the public toilets in the community, which can be regarded as worthy of your good intentions!"
"Bobble, you're a bitch!" said Omar, gritting his teeth.
Zhou Ming just looked at him coldly and said: "Congratulations to Bobber for becoming a councilor of the Vinda community, but maybe this is not a good thing, I am here to faithfully advise Mr. Bobble, it would be better to resign from your position as a councillor, otherwise in the near future, you will regret today's result." ”
"Is that so? Chinese, you are still a master of humor! Unfortunately, your humor is as disgusting as a clown in a circus, and your words are as stupid as wailing in an insane asylum. Botbury continued to taunt.
Zhou Ming didn't pay attention to Botbot's taunt, he just sneered and dropped a sentence of 'I hope you remember today', and left with Omar.
Back in the car, Omar couldn't hold back his emotions anymore, and cried bitterly, crying while saying to Zhou Ming: "Mr. Zhou Ming is very sorry, I failed to win this election, I failed to predict the situation of this election in advance, I didn't expect Kane to suddenly intervene, I am sorry Mr. Zhou Ming, your investment, I am really a waste!"
"Mr. Omar, there's no way a piece of waste can become a Ph.D. from Harvard. Zhou Ming said.
Omar was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Zhou Ming to suddenly say such a sentence, Zhou Ming smiled at this and then said: "Omar, who are you? You are the first black chairman of the Harvard University Review, you are the leader who conquered all the residents of the Vida community, you are the candidate I personally selected among so many people at Harvard University, I believe in you, but I want you to believe in yourself even more." ”
"There are thousands of things in this world, and everything has successes and failures, and they are not just about ability, just like the election you just ended. ”
Speaking of this, Zhou Ming paused for a moment and then said: "Maybe I can tell you a not-so-friendly fact, I didn't think that you could succeed in the election at the beginning of the campaign, or that it may not be a good thing that you succeeded. ”
"Why is that?" asked Omar, stunned.
"The reason is very simple, we are not strong enough, I am being targeted by a senior state senator, and Omar you also have such an opponent as Kane, and now our ability is not enough to defeat them, so instead of Omar you face countless troubles every day after being elected to the legislature, it is better to give this position to someone else to sit on, and we will find a way to listen to the government. Zhou Ming said.
"Hang the curtain and listen to the government?" Omar asked, confused, apparently not understanding the meaning of the word.
Zhou Ming explained: "It's to let Botb be his councillor in front, but we can sit behind the scenes, do things through him, and make him our marionette." ”
"But how is this possible? Boulter himself is on the opposite side of us, and God forbids him if he doesn't make trouble for us, so how can he listen to us?" said Omar, in astonishment.
Zhou Ming didn't answer, but asked him first: "Does Omar remember what I said to you?"
Omar thought for a moment and said tentatively: "There is nothing in this world that cannot be done, only unwilling to use the brain?"
Zhou Ming snapped his fingers: "That's it, so as long as we are willing to use our brains to find a way, maybe our Botbury Councilor will come to us in the end." ”
Omar looked at Zhou Ming blankly, not understanding what Zhou Ming was talking about at all, and Zhou Ming didn't mean to explain to him in detail, but just told him: "Let's go back to Harvard first, my lawyer should have arrived at the dormitory, and you will understand when you get to the place." ”
Following Zhou Ming's words, Zhang Lin, the driver in front, stepped on the accelerator hard, and Zhou Ming's Buick car galloped out and quickly returned to the dormitory.
At this time, lawyer Alan was already waiting here, Zhou Ming took him to the sofa in the hall and sat down, Alan took out a document and gave Zhou Ming and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I have successfully helped you register a Meitong logistics company with a capital of two million US dollars. ”
"Meitong Logistics?" Omar asked, stunned, with countless question marks flashing across his head.
"Mr. Omar, you are confused because you don't know the man Botbur, who is the chairman of Vinda Logistics. Zhou Ming said.
Listening to Zhou Ming's explanation, Omar suddenly realized: "Then Mr. Zhou Ming, you are doing this to compete with him in business and use commercial means to make him submit to you, right?"
Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "I don't think Mr. Omar, you use the word competition well, because I don't plan to compete with him, I want to directly crush him with capital, you know that I also have an insurance company, and I have already mastered more than 100 million dollars in funds." ”
Although Zhou Ming had already told Omar the news, when he heard the number Zhou Ming said, he couldn't help but gasp, after all, 100 million US dollars was still too big.
'The other thing is that it's not that I'm going to compete with him for anything, it's that Omar has to compete with him. Zhou Ming stretched out his hand and pointed at Omar and said, "Because of the relationship between Congressman Sr. Brooke, my classmates and I should not directly appear in the competition of the Vinda community, so Omar, you are the best candidate to be the chairman of my Meitong Logistics Company." ”
Omar didn't have time to catch his breath from the previous news, and Zhou Ming's words shocked him again, he never thought that this Meitong company was actually going to be handed over to him.
Omar hurriedly shook his head and said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, this is not okay, because I don't know any way of doing business, and I have never been exposed to anything like this, I am afraid that I will lose to Bobble!"
"So, Mr. Omar, you're ready to lose to Bobber for the second time, right?" Zhou Ming asked.
Zhou Ming's question pierced Omar's heart like a needle, and Omar said loudly: "Of course I don't want to!"
"As long as you don't want to, of course I have a way to make you win. Zhou Ming said.
Omar looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, not understanding what Zhou Ming meant at all, and Zhou Ming then said to him: "I know you are worried that you don't know any business skills, but what I want to tell you is to go to special business skills, which is a competitive means that only appear when you compete on an equal footing or when the weak fight the strong, so do you think that Bobble's logistics company has reached or surpassed my Wharton insurance company?"
"I don't know what his company is like, but one thing I can be sure of is that he and Mr. Zhou Ming are not at all an order of magnitude. Omar said.
"In that case, Mr. Omar, you don't need to worry at all, just go over and the other party will play GG. Zhou Ming said.
For Zhou Ming's advanced words, Omar said that he did not understand, this time Zhou Ming did not explain much, and directly handed over the company's legal documents in his hand to Omar and said: "From now on, Omar, you are the chairman and CEO of Meitong Logistics Company, and your target is Bouder's Vinda Logistics Company, you can squeeze his living space by lowering freight rates and giving him negative advertising, I believe that just that small logistics company will soon be unable to bear it." ”
"But isn't this a malicious competition? According to Massachusetts law, you will go to jail!" Omar said worriedly, "although I am not afraid of going to jail, I just don't want to end up like this." ”
"Of course I won't let you end up like this, but it's not malicious competition, and I think I'd better listen to the opinions of legal professionals. ”
Zhou Ming said and handed over the right to speak to Allen, who cleared his throat and said to Omar: "Legally speaking, malicious competition is a very difficult behavior to define, generally speaking, if there is no direct evidence to prove that there is malicious slander through advertising or other means, it will not be judged as malicious competition." ”
"That's why there are a lot of cases where small companies get product marketing by shooting targeted ads. Zhou Ming took Allen's words and said, "Even those multinational companies can't do it, a little Botber can turn the sky upside down, if he wants to go to court, I don't think we will be afraid of him." ”
Omar took two deep breaths and replied: "I understand Mr. Zhou Ming, just leave it to me, I believe I will be able to do it well!"
......
Meanwhile, in Lexington's villa, Massachusetts Speaker Anthony and Old Brook were sitting in the courtyard chatting, when suddenly Old Brooke's butler came over and whispered a few words in his ear, which made Old Brook suddenly happy.
Anthony knew him well and asked him, "My brother Brooke, let me guess, it was the election results of the Vida community that came out, and the result was that the Chinese lost the election?"
"That's right, that damn Chinese, how can he have a congressman? Even the most basic members of the House of Representatives are not allowed!" said Old Brooke, "Mr. Speaker guessed so quickly, so you already knew the news?"
Anthony shook his head and said: "I don't know, but I think I know my brother Brooke better than that Chinese, now you are too persistent with that Chinese, shouldn't our eyes be on the other side?" As long as the guns in the Middle East sound this time, we defeat that family, and lose the Chinese who are protected by that family, can't you still knead at will?"
"Rest assured, Mr. Speaker, I have not forgotten that I am waiting for an opportunity. Old Brooke said.
"Well, then, I trust my brother Brooke," Anthony shrugged his shoulders meaninglessly, apparently not believing old Brooke, and continued, "but I've come here today because there's another piece of news that you've brought to that family, Brother Tobrooke, that we can do something about the Donkey Bank before the guns go out in the Middle East." ”
