Conan Rupert, Chief of Staff to Senator Ball Harris of Montana. He went to his office as usual, flipping through the latest relevant information from his men.

The post of chief of staff is somewhat special, with a wide range of responsibilities and no overt political rights, but the hidden rights of this post are very large.

As Senator Ball Harris' chief of staff, Konan Rupert's job is how to help Ball Harris increase positive influence, gain higher approval ratings, and fight for more benefits.

So reading the latest news from all sides every day, that's the first thing Conan Rupert does when he arrives in the office, and he wants to pick out the good news that will create more benefits for Ball Harris.

He put aside the information in his hand after reading half of it, and just picked up the next information, paused slightly, and picked up the information just now.

This information is related to Xiangshui Town.

In fact, the auction in Xiangshui Town has won the support of most members of the state legislature under the lobbying of well-intentioned people. Now it's time to have a meeting, raise your hand, and then officially put up for auction.

An auction in a small town shouldn't have attracted much attention for a politician like them. The reason why he was very impressed was because the area of Xiangshui Town was too large. It is one of the few large towns in Montana, and it is also a very famous dilapidated and poor town, which requires a large amount of money from the state government every year to support.

What made him pay attention to this information was the fact that the magical ranch was being certified by the USDA, and the identity of the owner of this ranch also aroused his curiosity, a Chinese who had just come to the United States to live in the United States.

After thinking for a moment, Conan Rupert picked up the phone on the desk and ordered a copy of the details of the matter to be gathered.

As a politician's keen instinct, he felt that this could be a pivotal event that, if handled well, could help Ball Harris gain more political capital.

Within half an hour, the staff sent the materials over. It's pitiful, only three pages, and it's not yet full. But for these three pages, he turned over and over for a long time, carefully reading every word on it.

If Liu Heming saw this information, he would definitely be surprised, because although it was only three pages of information, it recorded all the "major events" after he came to the United States.

Including how he came to the United States, how he got residency, his marital status with Sasha, and how he provided water to Xiangshui Town for free, and now has a high reputation among the few residents of Xiangshui Town, etc.

At this time, Conan Rupert's computer sounded again, and a new email was received. Conan Rupert put down the materials in his hand, clicked on the link in the email, and showed some edited videos.

The videos were taken by drivers and passers-by as they passed by restaurants, some about Liu Heming, but also about the bears and Alex. Looking at the interaction between the cute Alex and the Hanhan bears in the video, the corners of his mouth unconsciously tugged.

Not to mention anything else, such a small video looks like it can really relax people's tense nerves, especially the part where the bear pushes the dining cart to deliver food to the guests, and he is obviously very hungry but doesn't dare to eat it, which is so cute.

turned off the video, and the detailed information about Xiangshui Town was called up in the computer.

There is a lot of information about this information, including the population of Xiangshui Town in its heyday, the annual output value, the tax revenue contributed, and the real situation now.

Gradually, he made a decision in his heart.

Montana is an agricultural state, and Ball Harris's political leanings are to promote agriculture in Montana. Originally, Bauer Harris was neutral on the auction of Xiangshui Town, but now that he understands so much about the situation, can he object to it? and even further promote the fact that this matter will not be passed by the state legislature.

The downside of this matter is that the state government's support for Xiangshui Town will continue, and a large amount of money will still need to be given to support it, which will attract the dissatisfaction of the rest of the councilors.

But the benefits, again, are many.

The first point is that this can be used to better publicize the political position of Ball Harris and let people know that he really attaches importance to agricultural development. Even if it fails in this case, it can still have a certain degree of impact. Hype, hype this inconspicuous little thing into a big thing that people all over the state pay attention to, this is very simple.

Second, if Xiangshui Town is still affected by bad weather next year, the state government will still auction Xiangshui Town, and it doesn't matter at that time. That's next year, and it won't affect Ball Harris much.

Thirdly, if the situation in Xiangshui Town slowly recovers, it will have a great impact on Ball Harris. Because it was he who made it happen, and in the future, everyone in Xiangshui Town will become a supporter of Bauer Harris.

Don't underestimate one or two supporters, through whom more supporters may be derived. These supporters are powerful political resources.

After careful consideration, he felt that whether this thing was successful or not, it would not be harmful to Ball Harris, but the benefits could be extended infinitely.

But he didn't rush to talk to Bauer Harris about it, he had to go through the whole plan in his head. He has to think about everything, and since he has a choice, he has to do his best to make it successful.

Again, this is a form of political influence, but not in the civil society, but in the state legislature. Otherwise, every proposal you make as a member of parliament will not be approved, and I am afraid that people will not even think about your proposal in the future.

This is equivalent to a battle, it is best to win, even if you lose, you have to make your voice heard and prove yourself to others. Xiangshui Town was the fuse of this battle. It's just that even in Conan Rupert's heart, Xiangshui Town is not so important now.

Whether he can become prosperous or not is not something he has to consider. Even if Xiangshui Town does not auction it, the state government will not allocate a large amount of money to develop it, and the people in Xiangshui Town will have to work their own.

No matter how large the area of Xiangshui Town is, it is now a dilapidated town with a small population. It can be said that the impression of the current Xiangshui Town in his heart is not as impressive as the two bear children.

The incident in Xiangshui Town is just a trigger point for grabbing more benefits. It can be Xiangshui Town or another town, and the effect is the same.
