Chapter 219: Campaigner

Maruko and Sakurako Kobayakawa receive the Suzuki father and son in a small living room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Sakurako Kobayakawa greeted with a smile, "Suzuki-san, long time no see!"

Yuya Suzuki hurriedly bowed in return: "Sister Kobayakawa, it's been a long time!" He straightened up and introduced his father, "This is my father, that ...... He had something he wanted to talk to about with Aihara. ”

Yuzaburo Suzuki looked at the two little girls in front of him, although it was slightly strange. When he gets the information, the supreme will be a group of girls in charge, but this is not a girl, right?

But he didn't show a look of contempt, and solemnly bowed his head to salute: "First time we met, I'm Yuzaburo Suzuki, please advise." ”

Sakurako Kobayakawa returned the salute with a smile, said polite words in her mouth, and introduced Maruko by the way, but Maruko just nodded and said bluntly: "I'm really sorry, let you run for nothing, Lord Aihara is busy with very important things, and I can't see you...... However, if there is anything you can tell me, I will try to help. ”

Yuzaburo Suzuki was a little disappointed that he couldn't get Li Ruhai's personal reception, and Maruko was even more rude, and the sincerity in his words was not enough to stuff his teeth, but he still cheered up and did his best - if he didn't have this heart and power, he wouldn't have been able to climb from the bottom to this level.

He knew that young people were not very patient, so he said straight to the point: "Both, I have heard a lot of rumors recently that your sect is going to form a party to participate in this general election, I don't know what the situation is now?"

This is Maruko's pride, and there is no need to hide it, she laughed and said: "Everything is going well, the number of sects is increasing faster, the selection of candidates is also underway, and the propaganda work will start soon!"

Yuzaburo Suzuki clapped his palms and said happily, "That's really amazing!" But in a blink of an eye, he asked again: "How are you going to carry out the propaganda work of the campaign?"

Maruko said indifferently: "That's very simple, spend money to send them to the TV station to show their faces, get some advertising cars and the like to go around on the road...... By the way, let them give speeches on the streets. ”

Yuzaburo Suzuki snorted, and said with a smile: "Ah, not bad." ”

His praise was so fake that the perfunctory smell could even be smelled by the dead, and the meaning of disdain was very obvious. Maruko got a little angry and asked, "Hey, Suzuki, what do you mean by that?"

Sakurako Kobayakawa coughed dryly, and secretly reached out and desperately pulled the hem of Maruko's clothes - anyway, he is also an elder, and he is a guest who comes to the door, so he has to talk about politeness a little, Maruko-chan!

Maruko didn't eat this at all, opened her hand, and asked Yuzaburo Suzuki angrily, "Isn't this arrangement? Wasn't it like this in the previous campaigns? What are you laughing at?"

Yuzaburo Suzuki's expression was straight, and he did not have the slightest intention of giving in and apologizing, and said-for-tat: "Gui-san, you underestimate the Japanese general election! If you arrange the most important propaganda work in the general election, I can tell you bluntly that you will definitely lose this general election!"

Maruko Huo Ran got up and shouted angrily, "Impossible! We have a clan and countless loyal members!"

Yuzaburo Suzuki was unmoved by Maruko's anger and said calmly, "Katsura-san, it's because the number of people in the clan you belong to is increasing, and the connection between the clan and the members is very close—that's why I'm here to say these things!

After a pause, he said in a sincere tone: "Gui Sang, every election in Japan has a 50 percent floating vote -- these 60 or 70 million people do not belong to any political party, nor are they supporters of any political party, and whoever has a more favorable idea to their mind and who is more familiar to them will vote for whomever they want! Propaganda is to win them over, and they plus the members of the clan to which you belong, and this is the key to victory!"

Maruko was stunned: "Fifty percent?"

Yuzaburo Suzuki straightened his back and said seriously: "I have participated in five general elections! These are all statistics from my actual work, and they are completely credible!"

"You?5 general elections?" Maruko looked at him with some confusion, but how to look at it unreliable - Yuzaburo Suzuki and Yuki Suzuki look very similar, white-faced fat people, with small pockmarks on their faces, can be classified into the category of weak and bulliful, this kind of person has participated in five general elections?

She originally thought that the Suzuki father and son were here to fight the autumn breeze or ask someone to do something, but now that she looks, is it a senior politician? Not quite right, I don't think there is him among the old qualified members of the Diet......

Yuzaburo Suzuki nodded vigorously: "Yes, I'm not boasting, I'm still well-known in the political circles -- I have helped many candidates successfully ascend to the throne of the Congress! Gui Sang, everything is skillful, and any human activity has essential laws, and I can confidently say that I have mastered the rules in the election campaign, and I am also proficient in skills!"

Maruko sat down slowly, looking Yuzaburo Suzuki up and down suspiciously, and Yuzaburo Suzuki sat there on his knees and let her look at it.

Maruko somewhat understands that this is not a politician, but an old-qualified broker, a political broker with Japanese characteristics, parasitic on members of the Diet and parties...... Similar to the relationship between a gold digger and a pickaxe seller.

However, this kind of person has a lot of experience and may be useful to the Aihara family!

Maruko pondered for a moment, her eyes showed a fierce light, she still didn't believe it, mainly because Yuzaburo Suzuki didn't look very good - this was unexpected by Yuzaburo Suzuki!

Maruko said viciously: "You'd better not say big things, otherwise you'll be going to be in a wheelchair in the second half of the year!" she shouted, and a maid came in from outside the door. Maruko whispered a few words in her ear.

Maruko is not stupid, she has to get to the bottom of it, so as not to make jokes. If she's a veteran of five elections, she's a guest, of course, and she's not joking if she's a liar – wheelchair.

Only five minutes after the maid left, a piece of paper was delivered to Maruko again, and Maruko looked at it and said slowly, "Oh...... You're really not talking big. ”

Although two of the five general elections were just ordinary staff, it cannot be said that he was deceiving people, and the last three still had results.

At this time, Yuzaburo Suzuki recovered from the state of being stunned, just now he was rushed by Maruko's fierce anger, his sanity was robbed, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Maruko put aside Yuzaburo Suzuki's information, and his tone was a little more enthusiastic, and he said with a smile: "Suzuki...... No, Mr. Suzuki is also very good! Tell us about this campaign!"

She also affectionately refilled tea for Yuzaburo Suzuki.

Maruko doesn't understand the doorway of the election, Sawako used to be a public official, and he only knows a general, although the Aso family sent some people to assist Maruko, but it was all Aso Yuu's own strength before, and he didn't know much about the election...... Now that a campaigner is here, Maruko really feels like God helps me!

Yuzaburo Suzuki glanced at the paper beside Maruko, and was surprised and happy -- he was surprised that he had obtained his information in such a short period of time, and that this sect had nothing to say, and that its intelligence work did not look like it had just been established, and that it was very powerful; if these people were strong, they would have more room to exert themselves, and they would have more benefits in the future.

He made up his mind and became more serious: "Gui-san, to put it bluntly, the Japanese general election is a struggle for money and propaganda! Each candidate must pay a deposit of 3 million yen for the candidacy, and about 450 candidates are required for the 300 small constituencies, and if the candidate is nominated by the party to participate in the general constituency election at the same time, the deposit will be paid in two copies...... That's a lot of money, and you know that the deposit may not be recovered, right?"

In order to prevent some people from wasting state resources in the general election, a threshold has been set -- if you want to run for election, you must pay the money first, and the money will not necessarily be refunded! If you do not get one-tenth of the legal votes, the money will be wasted!

For example, if there are 400,000 quorums in a small constituency, and the candidates do not get 40,000 votes, the security deposit will be gone. On the contrary, if you get more than 40,000 votes, whether you are elected or not, the original amount of the deposit will be refunded.

This clause does ensure that the Japanese election is not like the American election, in which many people run around to make funny, but it also kicks the ordinary people at the bottom out of the game directly -- 3 million yen is the salary of the average person for more than half a year, and it is really not easy for ordinary people to make up their minds to throw this money into the water.

These are all things on the surface, of course Maruko understands, she nodded directly and said, "I know this, Mr. Suzuki, and then what?"

Yuzaburo Suzuki asked again: "Then has Gui-san calculated how much money each candidate will spend to run for the election?"

Maruko widened her eyes and said, "No!" She had just made the selection of candidates, and she really didn't think about it in detail later.

Yuzaburo Suzuki coughed dryly and said, "In previous years, each candidate had to prepare at least 150 million yen, and the key constituencies, that is, the constituencies that must ensure victory, should have more than 500 million yen in financial support. ”

After he finished speaking, he felt that the meaning was not comprehensive, and he was afraid of misleading the pills, so he hurriedly added: "I am referring to individual campaign funds, and the party's collective propaganda funds are not included." ”

After Yuzaburo Suzuki finished speaking, Maruko was silently calculating, and Sakurako Kobayakawa's whole little face was wrinkled together - it doesn't sound like 200 billion yen is enough, this is burning money, right?

Yuki Suzuki, who had been listening with his ears stretched out all the time, couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the campaign propaganda time only 12 days? How can this money be spent?" He suddenly heard the amount of hundreds of millions of dollars, and he usually only had tens of thousands of pocket money, which was a little unbearable.

Yuzaburo Suzuki glared at Suzuki sternly, signaling him to be honest and not to interject, but he still explained: "The legal campaign publicity time is not much for candidates, and the election law strictly stipulates the publicity expenses during this period, and if you exceed the standard, you will be disqualified from the candidacy - the number of voters in the ward multiplied by fifteen yen is the highest standard!"

Suzuki Yuki was still a little puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "That's only a few million yen, where are the hundreds of millions of dollars to spend?"

"From now until the date of the candidate's written registration, there is no requirement for any publicity during this time, and you can spend as much as you want! This time is the key to determining victory or defeat!"

Maruki finally figured it out, although it was a super big number, but she didn't care - she was very similar to Li Ruhai in this regard, money, don't save it, spend it if you have it, and find a way if you don't have it!

In case it's not enough, she plans to go to Aso Yuu to ask for some more, no matter how it is not enough, she can organize Hayami Kuno and them to rob the bank or something, or if it is not enough, she can only beg Li Ruhai to see if she can take her to rob the treasury.

Maruko patted his little hand lightly and said loudly: "Mr. Suzuki, money is not a problem, even if it is according to the highest standards, we can afford it!"

Sakurako Kobayakawa opened her mouth and didn't speak—she seemed to have heard the sound of Chiko Orange kneeling there crying.

Yuzaburo Suzuki also carefully observed the look on Maruko's face, and did not see the slightest embarrassment, and suddenly lifted his spirits, this sect still has very strong financial resources!

But then he heard Maruko ask, "But, Mr. Suzuki, how is this money spent, and what kind of propaganda is it used for?"

Yuzaburo Suzuki muttered that he would now like to preside over the election campaign of this new party, which was a leap for him personally - to be able to command a large party to run in an election, and once he wins, not to mention the money, fame alone can make him use for the rest of his life!

He wants to use what he has learned all his life to impress the ten-year-old child in front of him as much as possible!
