Doug looked directly at Zhang Chen: "What you said just now makes sense, but I know now, what is the benefit of doing this?"

Zhang Chen said lightly: "Of course there are benefits, and there are more than one. ”

Doug leaned back in his chair, "Oh?

Zhang Chen talked eloquently: "First, donate, if this thing is done, I promise to get 3 million US dollars for Barbara's campaign fund." If she doesn't want this money, I believe that it will be helpful to give it to the Democratic Party headquarters for the next general election. ”

Zhang Chen is really not a mouthful, and now domestic manufacturers don't want to spend money, but they can't find a way to spend money. If you can solve this big trouble for the home appliance manufacturers in Guangdong, let alone 3 million, even if it is 10 million, they will definitely spend it.

Doug's expression moved slightly, for any campaign team, campaign money is never too much.

Doug smiled, "It sounds tempting, but do you know who is behind this?"

Zhang Chen said calmly: "Sony, Panasonic, Samsung, in short, it should be a Japanese and Korean manufacturer, right?"

Doug snapped his fingers, "Clever, but do you know how much money Japan and South Korea donate to the Democratic Party every year? We will not offend them for the sake of a donation of three million. ”

Zhang Chen smiled, "Offended, Doug, maybe they will take out tens of millions or more of money every year to lobby, but does this have anything to do with Barbara?"

Doug was stunned for a moment, and Zhang Chen continued: "Actually, this is the second benefit I want to say, if their main relationship in the Democratic Party is Barbara, I have nothing to say, but it is obvious that this proposal was put forward by Feinstein, which means that at least she has a much greater benefit than Barbara." I think it's time to remind them of the fact that there are two U.S. senators in California. ”

For the first time, Doug put away his joking look, straightened his seat, and began to treat the young man in front of him as a real negotiator.

Zhang Chen's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Actually, it's just these two, I think it's enough, after all, Barbara doesn't need to pay an extra price, but there are many benefits, but there is another benefit, and it may be the biggest benefit, I think it is necessary to say it." ”

Doug leaned forward: "What's the benefit?"

Zhang Chen said calmly: "The votes of Chinese voters in Chinatown. ”

Doug smiled dumbly: "Zack, you don't know much about the current state of elections in the United States. It's true that Chinese make up a high percentage of San Francisco's population, but you generally lack enthusiasm to vote, and the turnout is low in every election, even in the presidential election, the Chinese turnout is less than 10%. Frankly, I don't think it's appealing to us. ”

A sneer appeared at the corner of Zhang Chen's mouth: "Doug, it's because you don't know the Chinese too well. Let's put it this way, I'm confident that I can help Barbara's state House candidates get 20,000 more Asian votes. ”

Doug was shocked, "Twenty thousand? How is it possible? I want to remind you that bribery is illegal in the United States." ”

Zhang Chen tapped his finger on the table: "I know that I will not use any illegal means, I will not use the pediatric means of ten dollars a ballot to achieve my goals, and I will not even issue coupons to voters." I have my way, as long as you believe it. ”

"20,000 votes is enough to affect the election of a member of a state House of Representatives. You know, these are silent voters who have barely participated in elections. How about Barbara's support for a home appliance manufacturer in Guangdong in exchange for a position in the state House of Representatives, shouldn't it?"

Doug thought about it for a long time in his heart, and reason told him that the 20,000 votes promised by Zhang Chen was too exaggerated, but intuitively, he really believed that Zhang Chen could do it.

Maybe it's the other person's extremely confident attitude that affects you?

Doug suddenly showed a sunny smile: "Feinstein's proposal is unfair to Huaxia's home appliance manufacturers, if Yuehai's manufacturers can actively respond to the lawsuit, I believe there will be a fair verdict." ”

Zhang Chen also smiled: "Of course." ”

On the way back, Tang Miaomiao said worriedly: "You promised them 20,000 Chinese votes today, where did you come from? What if you can't do it?"

Zhang Chen held Tang Miaomiao's hand, "Don't worry, I'm still sure of this matter." ”

Tang Miaomiao: "What are you going to do?"

Zhang Chen said: "The few subordinates of the shrimp boy should have smuggled all the way to Yuehai, you have to ask your uncle to pay attention, don't let them go, and control them as soon as possible." As long as we can send these people back to the United States, we will be halfway there. ”

Tang Miaomiao was puzzled: "What is the relationship between these two things?"

Zhang Chen sneered: "Shrimp Boy launched a Zhao Chonglin to be a puppet, and wants to wait until his foundation is solid before taking the position, I don't believe that Zhao Chonglin can't see this." If we have the evidence in our hands that can nail the shrimp boy, Zhao Chonglin will definitely take the initiative to cooperate with us, and when the time comes, the conditions will naturally be open to us. ”

"No matter how downtrodden Hongmen is, it still has absolute influence in Chinatown, and with Hongmen's support, just 20,000 votes will not be a problem at all. ”

Tang Miaomiao was still a little worried: "What if I don't catch the evidence?"

Zhang Chen shrugged, "It doesn't matter if you don't catch it, at most I will throw election funds at the candidates they have selected, and I don't believe that there is enough money to smash a member of the state legislature." ”

"It's just that I still want the Chinese in San Francisco to take the initiative to vote, and only by taking the initiative to vote will they know the value of their votes. ”

"The proportion of Chinese in San Francisco's population is getting bigger and bigger, and the actual proportion of the population is already close to 20%, and if you count the many illegal immigrants, it may be much more than that. ”

"But the political status and importance of the Chinese are far less than those of Hispanics and blacks, because no one has reconciled the interests of the Chinese. In addition, the Chinese themselves are indeed not competitive and united, and do not pay enough attention to their legitimate rights and interests. Even many Chinese elites have taken the initiative to cater to white stereotypes of Chinese Americans, acting as vanguards for infringing on the interests of Chinese Americans. ”

"If this situation is not changed, no matter how rich and powerful our country is, it will be looked down upon. Changing that starts with voting. Let others see the power of Chinese unity! Even if this kind of voting behavior is coerced by certain groups, it is better than ignoring their own rights and interests. ”

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he looked at the scenery outside the car window, and his heart was extremely nostalgic for Facebook and Twitter, which were almost unused in his previous life.

If you have these two things now, and you still have them in your own hands, not to mention a small state legislator, even if it is a presidential election, it may not be impossible to manipulate it.

There will be a chance.
