"You stinky rascal, how can any adult wear this thing!" Rijimi glared at him and sneered.

"Haha, you still don't believe me when I tell the truth!" Li Xuanai touched the tip of Li Zhi's nose, which was a little red from the cold, "In order to grab a good position, many people have already brought folding beds and blankets to line up this morning.

Didn't you notice when you got in the car? We came from Central Park, and we didn't go in a straight line, we made a big circle. The neighborhoods around Times Square have been crowded since the afternoon and need to be restricted.

Those people in the center of the square can't get out at all now, and they won't be able to leave until three or four o'clock tomorrow morning, when everyone is out of the crowd. In other words, people in the center of the square will be trapped for at least 12 hours. Unless their physiology is different from the average person, they definitely need diapers to help!"

Li Xuan said with an evil smile on his face, the so-called full set of tools in the mouth of the boss just now are folding chairs, blankets, diapers, and other necessities to go to Times Square and wait for the countdown to New Year's Eve. Of course, if you're just watching from afar, you won't be able to use these things. But if you want to enter the core area of the square with the best viewing position, these things are essential.

"Ah, for a countdown!" Lizhi's face was still a little flushed, she couldn't imagine that there would be adults willing to wear diapers like children, and pee directly in their pants, so perverted.

"The New Year's Eve countdown in Times Square attracts more than 1 million people every year, and if you want to grab a position in such a large crowd, you naturally have to pay a little! Anyway, after participating in the event, you will be clean again after taking a shower!" Li Xuan said with a smile.

Tourists have to struggle with their own physiology. There is also a struggle against the bitter cold. Winters in New York are very cold, with outdoor temperatures today being minus 3 degrees. After dark, there will definitely be a significant drop. So don't look at the live TV screen, the New Year's countdown in Times Square, New York. Everyone was a jubilant spectacle, but the madness behind it could only be experienced by the participants in person.

"Let's go, Lord Birthday, let's go to dinner first!" Li Xuan said. Lizhi's birthday happens to be the last day of the year - December 31.

The two of them left Chinatown, which was not a romantic place to eat, but just a notoriously cheap Chinese fast food. Chinese food doesn't have a high status in the U.S., and it's rarely considered a high-end meal. Most of the tall restaurants serve French, Italian and Japanese sashimi. Chinese food has always been the first choice for cheap takeaways, which has to make Chinese people who pride themselves on having a profound food culture feel depressed.

Li Xuan booked a spot at a French restaurant on Fifth Avenue, a three-Michelin-starred restaurant. It's a well-known fashion landmark in New York, and the table next to you might be an Oscar-winning winner.

"Try the signature dish, pearl oysters. This is the favorite of New York ladies, and it is said to be able to beautify and delay skin aging!" Li Xuan said in a soft tone.

The oysters are cut into slices as thin as light gauze by the chef's skillful knife work, and stacked on a plate in circles, sprinkled with some milky yellow young leaves, and garnished with some salads.

"You don't come to New York very often. How do you know so clearly!" Li Zhi pouted like a little woman, and there was a little more playful cuteness in the brightness.

"Limeiren's birthday, I naturally have to take it seriously. I've been collecting information about New York restaurants for today's dinner a few months ago, and you still don't appreciate it!" Li Xuan made a very frustrated look.

Riji smiled at him as if he were reassuring. I'm ready to start eating. She obviously didn't eat much Western food, and she still had a few twists when she held her knife and fork.

"Wait a minute, add a little lemon juice to taste on top first. You can get rid of some fishy smell!" Li Xuan carefully picked up half of the cut lemon and squeezed it gently, then pointed to the half glass of 100 wine in front of Li Zhi and said. "After eating the oysters, take a sip of Chablis wine, which is said to have the best flavor!"

"Why do you use 'supposedly'?" asked Lizhi with a chuckle.

"I haven't eaten it either!" Li Xuan said naturally.

"You haven't eaten it yourself. Recommend it to me!" Lizhi glanced at him.

"Oysters have an aphrodisiac effect, I'm already very powerful, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat too much!" Li Xuan suddenly smiled softly.

"Ahh

She picked up a slice of oysters with a fork and put it in her mouth to chew it carefully, then took a sip of white wine, and deliberately licked her tongue, deliberately seducing the bad man opposite with a very coquettish look.

Li Xuan looked at the woman in front of him, one hand deliberately propped up on the dining table to support his chin, and looked at him with watery eyes. Li Zhi's body leaned forward gently, making the pair of already proud breasts on her chest even more straight, which made Li Xuan's mouth immediately a little dry.

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel where they stayed to change into evening dresses, and Li Xuan was going to attend a New Year's party. The reception was held at the mansion of the famous New York financier Bloomberg on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The reception was part of the Democratic National Committee's fundraising campaign for the upcoming 1982 midterm elections.

Who is Bloomberg? The most maverick and richest mayor in New York City's history, he certainly sat on the throne twenty years later. Thirty years later, he is still a world-renowned media tycoon, and Bloomberg is the company he founded.

Of course, time has changed, and more than 30 years later, the famous media tycoon is still a famous financial tycoon in New York. Although Mr. Bloomberg had just been swept away by Salomon Brothers, where he had worked for 15 years. Thirty years later, he became mayor of New York as a Republican, and he is still a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party.

In addition to the presidential election, which is held every four years, which is the most important political drama, the election of members of the Senate and the House of Representatives is also the election. The House of Representatives is elected for a two-year term and is fully re-elected every two years, while the Senators are elected for a six-year term and are re-elected one-third every two years.

Elections in even-numbered years without a presidential election are known as midterm elections and elect all seats in the House of Representatives, one-third of the seats in the Senate, and some state governors. The United States practices a system of separation of powers, and the Senate and House of Representatives have great constraints on the president's functions and powers. The House of Representatives in the United States is now controlled by the Democrats, while the Senate is controlled by the Republicans.

In the year since Republican President Ronald Reagan took office, the US economy has been in recession and unemployment is high, and the Democratic Party naturally sees an opportunity in it. If the public's dissatisfaction with the economic weakness of the new president is properly channeled, the Democrats have a chance to win both the Senate and the House of Representatives in the midterm elections. In this way, Reagan would become a lame president, and many policies would have to be compromised with the Democrats.

But election is a money game, and spending money may not necessarily lead to success, and not spending money will definitely fail. Advertising on TV to promote his political platform, forming a powerful campaign team, and going non-stop to various constituencies to publicize all of these all require the support of US dollars.

Where does the money come from? The most effective way to do this is through fundraising banquets. For example, Li Xuan was invited to this New Year's banquet today and needed to donate $32,500 for dining. The money goes into the Democratic national campaign fund account and is regulated by the campaign committee.

Of course, these are all funds on the surface, and behind every potential politician, there are all kinds of action committees to help raise funds. Strictly speaking, Li Xuan, as a foreigner, has no right to participate in American politics. But he handed over the $32,500 check, and someone would have laundered it into a legitimate political donation through a series of operations and put it into the campaign account.

The United States is one of the most important markets for Dongfang Electronics, whether it is arcades, handheld consoles, home game consoles, or personal computers, more than half of the sales of Li Xuan's products come from the American market. In order to gain a firm foothold here, Li Xuan has never been stingy in investing in remediation.

"Mr. Speaker, this is Mr. Xuan Lee, a well-known entrepreneur from Asia, and his Oriental Electronics Company has a variety of products that are popular all over the United States!" Edward Kennedy introduced Li Xuan to a white man with slightly gray hair and a somewhat stern face, who is the current President of the House of Representatives, Tip O'Neill.

The president of the House of Representatives is the third most important person in the U.S. political landscape after the president and vice president. Now that the Senate is controlled by the Republicans, Tipu O'Neill is naturally the well-deserved political leader of the entire Democratic Party.

Like the Kennedy family, he was born in Boston, and Edward Kennedy, the last pillar of the Kennedy family, had a close personal relationship with him. Edward Kennedy was known as the "Lion of the Senate" and stood tall in the US Congress for decades, so he naturally had a strong political foundation.

This is also the reason why Edward participated in the Democratic Party's nomination for president before, Li Xuan knew that he would fail, but he was still willing to spend a lot of money. The effect of sending charcoal in the snow is far better than icing on the cake, and Li Xuan's generosity has really returned enough rewards. It was through Edward's introduction that he quickly contacted a series of political figures in the Democratic Party.

For example, before meeting Mr. Speaker, Li Xuan also had a very lively chat with Mr. Al Gore, a young member of the House of Representatives from Tennessee, Democrat. Many Chinese may not know much about him, but he was Mrs. Clinton's partner when he was president of the United States, serving as vice president for eight years. In 2000, when he faced off with George W. Bush to elect the president, he won the vote but lost the electoral vote. (To be continued......)
