Chapter 1544: Reciprocity
An hour later, Lin Qingya and Lu Xue shared a Cadillac sedan and flew towards Stockton, which was more than 100 miles away.
On the way, Schwarzenegger felt particularly excited and excited about the upcoming in-depth cooperation with Makino Technology, and along the way, he recalled in his mind the strength and style of Li Mu who swept the world's major media with a short blog.
Schwarzenegger has a fiery heart for politics, so he is also looking forward to the day when he can be recognized by the world for his remarks, views and attitudes like Li Mu, but his current information delivery ability is still too far behind Li Mulai, so if he wants to achieve such a goal, only by reaching a deep cooperative relationship with Makino Technology, everything can be realized.
Thinking of this, Schwarzenegger couldn't help sighing, and the campaign advisers around him couldn't help but ask him: "Mr. Schwarzenegger, why are you sighing?"
Schwarzenegger laughed to himself and said, "It's okay, I just thought of a regretful thing." ”
The campaign adviser wanted to ask him what his regrets were, but seeing that Schwarzenegger had no intention of saying anything, he smiled slightly and said, "Regrets can be made up for by the efforts of the day after tomorrow." ”
Schwarzenegger shook his head: "Some regrets are born and can't be made up." ”
Campaign advisers don't know what Schwarzenegger's regret is, in fact, in Schwarzenegger's heart, his biggest dream is not acting, nor making money, let alone being a governor, his biggest dream is to become the president of the United States.
According to the political structure of the United States, governors and congressmen are very easy to transition to the position of running for president, and if he wins the position of governor of California, according to the political logic of the United States, he will have the opportunity to run for president of the United States.
But unfortunately, even if Schwarzenegger can get the support of most of the people, he will definitely not be able to run for president, because he was born in Austria, not an American born in the United States, and the United States stipulates that to run for president of the United States, he must be a native-born American, which makes Schwarzenegger completely lose the possibility of running for president.
After almost two hours of driving, Lin Qingya took Lu Xue to the restaurant Schwarzenegger mentioned, and to the surprise of the two, the restaurant chose to temporarily close for their meeting with Schwarzenegger.
When the two arrived, Schwarzenegger had already arrived, and his staff invited Lin Qingya and Lu Xue into the restaurant, and Schwarzenegger, who was originally sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant, immediately stood up and greeted the two warmly.
A middle-aged white male sitting next to Schwarzenegger also immediately got up and followed behind Schwarzenegger.
"Hello Miss Lin. ”
On the way here, Schwarzenegger had already read some information about Lin Qingya and remembered her appearance, so he recognized it at a glance, but Lu Xue beside her, Schwarzenegger had not seen it, so he thought it was Lin Qingya's assistant.
"Hello, Mr. Schwarzenegger. ”
Lin Qingya shook hands with Schwarzenegger, and Schwarzenegger introduced the middle-aged man next to him and said, "This is my campaign adviser, Thomas Johnson." ”
Lin Qingya greeted Thomas Johnson very politely, and then pulled Lu Xue to her and introduced, "This is my assistant, Lu Xue." ”
Schwarzenegger hurriedly shook hands with Lu Xue enthusiastically and said with a smile: "Hello Miss Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Lu Xue smiled generously and said, "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Schwarzenegger, I'm your fan." ”
Schwarzenegger laughed: "If that's the case, then you may be disappointed in the next few years, if I am successfully elected governor of California, I will spend all my energy on making California better, and I will not make any more film and television dramas during my tenure." ”
Lu Xue said: "That's really a big pity for us fans. ”
Schwarzenegger smiled heartily and said: "It may not really be a regret, if I lose the election, I will still go back to Hollywood and continue to make movies." ”
Lin Qingya interjected at this time, and said with a smile: "Mr. Schwarzenegger, the reason why we came here is to help you succeed in being elected, so in the next few years, I am afraid you will have to leave the film industry for a while." ”
Schwarzenegger naturally heard what Lin Qingya meant, and her subtext was that Makino Technology would definitely help him win the election, which made him feel extremely happy, and said to the two with a smile: "Miss Lin, Miss Lu, please sit down, let's sit down and talk." ”
The four of them sat separately, Lin Qingya and Lu Xue sat on one side, and Schwarzenegger and Thomas Johnson were opposite.
Schwarzenegger gave Thomas a look to his side, wanting Thomas to open the situation first.
Having run for the presidency and successfully running for governor and congress, Thomas has a deep understanding of the front and back of the campaign, and is particularly experienced.
Thomas, who got Schwarzenegger's eyes, opened his mouth and said to Lin Qingya: "Miss Lin, can you roughly reveal your company's specific attitude towards our election campaign?"
Lin Qingya smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Li's attitude is very simple, he is personally very optimistic about Mr. Schwarzenegger, so he is willing to help Mr. Schwarzenegger win this gubernatorial race, and hopes to work together with Mr. Schwarzenegger and his team in the next two terms to provide better publicity support for Mr. Schwarzenegger." ”
Thomas nodded and said, "Thank you very much Mr. Li for your recognition of Mr. Schwarzenegger, we also know the strength of Makino Technology very well, but what we want to know is, what does Makino Technology want from us?"
For the Schwarzenegger team, although they are eager for the help of Makino Technology, they also want to know the appetite of Makino Technology.
Lin Qingya smiled and said, "Actually, we don't have any specific practical demands for the time being. ”
Thomas and Schwarzenegger were both a little surprised and exchanged glances.
From the beginning of Schwarzenegger's election campaign to the present, many wealthy people have put forward their intention to fund the election, and they have basically set conditions, some want land, some want policies, and some want qualifications, and everyone has basically put forward these conditions clearly in advance.
Funders are willing to accept the reality that all the money will be wasted after the defeat of the candidates, but they also want the candidates to promise that they will fulfill the conditions according to their own requirements after being elected, and the campaign team of the candidates will also analyze the feasibility of each condition, and rationally look at what money can be taken and what money cannot be taken, just like an actuary who calculates the handicap before a casino bet, and calculates the pros and cons of each condition.
In the process, they saw all kinds of strange requirements, but they didn't see Makino Technology, and they didn't think about what they wanted.
Lin Qingya saw that both of them were a little surprised, so she explained: "In terms of our Mr. Li's philosophy of life, he himself does not like the cooperation of a cone of sales very much, and he hopes to carry out a long-term, stable, healthy and mutually beneficial cooperative relationship with all partners, and the same is true for what we are going to talk about today." ”
Speaking of this, Lin Qingya paused, and said: "If we make a clear request now, and you agree, that is, we will provide some help during the campaign, and then get a return after the election, and then the two sides will completely end the cooperation, which itself is not in line with our philosophy of life Mr. Li, what we hope most is that the two sides can carry out a long-term and continuous cooperation;
It's like the difference between making a short-term investment and making a long-term investment, we don't want to treat this cooperation as a short-term investment, on the contrary, we want to be able to treat our cooperation as a long-term investment. ”
Thomas nodded lightly and said, "This is also the appeal of our team, and it seems that we do have a lot of points of convergence." ”
"Of course. Lin Qingya said with a smile: "We have the best information delivery channels in the world, even after Mr. Schwarzenegger takes office, we can provide him with public opinion and propaganda escort in the process of his administration of California, and it happens that our American branch is opened in Silicon Valley, so Mr. Schwarzenegger in the process of governing California, can also provide long-term help for the development of Makino Technology in the United States, this kind of sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship is the healthiest." ”
Thomas dragged his chin in contemplation for a moment, and then asked, "What else can you help us with besides the titter?"
Lin Qingya smiled: "That's really too much, for example, we can ask our reporters to write an interview today, titled "From Action Star to Governor --- Schwarzenegger's Political Ambitions" Then, we will post this article on the YY network, and then use YY to push it to all users who log in to YY in California, so that we can push Mr. Schwarzenegger's advantages to all Internet users in California in a very short period of time.
Schwarzenegger was dumbfounded.
He is very clear about the process of campaign speeches, the number of voters that can be covered by each speech is only a few thousand at most, and California has a population of nearly 40 million.
It is also difficult for traditional TV media and print media to achieve high coverage, and it is difficult for TV media to have enough space to explain their political views, and even if there is this opportunity, the coverage rate is far from reaching YY's accurate push on the Internet.
Not to mention the print media, newspapers with a circulation of more than one million have much worse coverage than YY, if Makino Technology can directly push all of its political opinions, ideas and values to California netizens, then the significance of this channel to itself is really too significant!
