Chapter 220: The Doorway to the Campaign
Yuzaburo Suzuki calmed down and was angry, and crossed his fingers to calculate the cost of a candidate during the election campaign:
To participate in the election, the candidate must have a campaign headquarters, rent a small office building or a storefront in a local place with convenient transportation and a bustling street, and need to be equipped with office supplies, such as telephones and faxes? coffee machines and water dispensers? The weather is getting hotter, and air conditioners must be available? Computers, printers, and photocopiers are also necessary, right?
There are a lot of things scattered around, which seem inconspicuous, but they are not a small amount when they add up. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Street trucks are a must, and you can't just rent one. Three or five cars went into battle together, and they walked around the street for more than twelve hours a day, just talking about the gas money......
If the residents of the constituency live in a scattered area, or if there is a mixture of urban and rural areas, they will have to hire special propagandists to go to the countryside to carry out propaganda, or send additional propaganda vehicles to go around on a daily basis, and the cost will be even greater.
Yuzaburo Suzuki said this, and Maruko had already begun to nod: "Oh, it looks like it does cost a lot of money...... "This is just one, these expenses have to be multiplied by more than four hundred, which is the total cost of the Supreme Society."
But Yuzaburo Suzuki smiled and said, "Gui-san, these are just a small amount of money, and there are more places to spend money later...... He also talked about propaganda posters, "Propaganda posters are also very important in election campaigns, and it is not too much to say that they are winners and losers! Generally, 3,000 posters are guaranteed for every 100,000 voters, and this poster is also particular." As soon as the Election Commission announces the list of candidates, we have to put up posters in every corner of the constituency, so that the people can see the candidates' faces as soon as they look up, and if the funds allow, it is best to put up giant posters in the downtown area, which is the most perfect. ”
Maruko listened intently and nodded again and again, but was slightly puzzled: "Posters are a very common propaganda method, how can they be the winners and losers?"
Yuzaburo Suzuki smiled slightly and said: "Katsura-san, many voters don't care about politics, but they also have the obligation to vote, and whoever can make them be the first to remember and have a good first impression will vote for! ”
Maruko felt that this was very reasonable, and urged Yuzaburo Suzuki to continue to elaborate, and Yuzaburo Suzuki was as good as flowing.
When the Election Commission announces the list of candidates, the general election will enter the official propaganda period, which lasts for 12 days, and in order to seize a first-mover advantage and make a first impression on the voters, the posters must be fully spread out within the first day, which is the very least! Although the name of the small constituency has a small print in it, it is also an area where hundreds of thousands of people live and work, which is equivalent to a city, and if you want to accomplish this in one day, you need at least 200 people and 100 vehicles.
Others, such as sending postcards to every household in the constituency, putting slogans on every community billboard, and setting up leaflet distribution points on the streets, all require a lot of manpower - if you rely on the candidates themselves, they can't write with seventeen or eighteen hands, and they can't write with forty or fifty legs!
According to Suzuki Yuzaburo's plan, each candidate's campaign team should reach at least 300 people, including more than 10 staff members with management and organizational skills, and the rest can hire odd workers, but they also try to be able to drive and have a little literacy, and they can't be too ugly.
This is all money, and more than 300 people eat, drink, and live in Lazar, so what does not cost money? What's more, these people all have to be paid for work -- because they have to fight for a month's life, the wages have to be high, and there are bonuses to boost morale.
The cost of communicating with the heads of local town councils and housing groups, the cost of inviting local celebrities to participate in the election, and the cost of giving speeches......
A series of expenses blinded Maruko, Sakurako and Suzuki Yuki, and Suzuki Yuki couldn't help but ask, "Dad, it costs so much money to campaign...... Are all those candidates rich?"
Yuzaburo Suzuki also said a little dry, picked up the tea to moisten his throat, and sighed: "How is that possible! The money is borrowed...... If you succeed, you will get a salary of more than 10 million yen, government welfare subsidies, and countless gray incomes, and if you fail, you will go bankrupt or even incur a lot of debt, just like that beautiful parliamentarian, if you fail, you will not go...... Ahem......"
The son is here, he wants to maintain his father's dignity and majesty, plus there are two girls, Maruko and Sakurako, he finally stopped his mouth and didn't say a bastard word.
He sighed: "Doing politics in Japan is very exciting, but it is also very risky!"
He has always helped others run for election, and he has never thought of trying it himself, also because he has seen too many people who have failed in the election - the treatment of congressmen is so good that it explodes, super high salaries, government welfare subsidies and even all-inclusive subsidies in all aspects of life, and if you get a cabinet position, it is a double salary, gray income...... It's hard to say the exact number!
However, it was a success, and there were far more failures than successes! Once they failed, there were those who went straight to the streets, and there were those whose lives were completely ruined! There were even worse ones, such as the beautiful congressman he mentioned......
Although Yuzaburo Suzuki closed his mouth, Yuki Suzuki still vaguely understood, and exclaimed, "It's the ...... Ah, didn't she say she wanted to try a new way of life before taking a photo?"
Yuzaburo Suzuki scoffed, what kind of photo shoot is to go to the sea. He smiled and said, "Do you believe what others say? She lost the election and owed such a large amount of money, and she always had to pay it back." ”
This room is full of children, and he doesn't want to discuss this topic anymore, because the object is not suitable! Although he often jokes with his friends, calling for a taste of the "beautiful councilor" -- if Li Ruhai is here, he can use this topic to liven up the atmosphere, guarding the two little girls, forget it!
He straightened his face and said to Maruko seriously: "Gui Sang, I can't finish talking about the doorway in the election for three days and three nights, I believe you have also discovered that it is very easy to participate in the election, but it is not easy to win! If you don't dislike it, I hope to do my best for your sect to participate in this election and contribute to the final victory, please!"
This Yuzaburo Suzuki doesn't look good, but he has a strong tongue, tells everything in the election campaign, is organized, knows everything, and Maruko is indeed a little tempted.
She is currently lacking such talents.
She asked tentatively, "What do you think of our sect, no, the philosophy of our party, Mr. Reiki?"
Yuzaburo Suzuki said bluntly, "Katsura-san, I don't have an opinion...... An idea is an idea, a campaign is a campaign, and it doesn't matter between the two. ”
Sakurako Kobayakawa asked, "How can it be okay?
Yuzaburo Suzuki smiled and said to Sakurako Kobayakawa: "It really doesn't matter, the election campaign is a fraud -- to deceive the people into voting! The Kuomintang also relied on the votes of the lower classes of the people to come to power, but when they came to power, they still chose to cooperate with the big business groups, and none of the promises made in the previous election campaign were fulfilled." ”
After a pause, he added meaningfully: "It doesn't matter what you say during the campaign, the key is how to explain when you come to power, and who will explain it!"
Before he came to power, he shouted that he wanted to bring down the big conglomerates, that wealth should not be concentrated in the hands of a few people, and that it should be shared by the whole people, such as building a better welfare system...... Anyway, you can't rush to defeat the big conglomerates now, but don't worry, we will definitely defeat them in the future, and the wealth will be distributed to you, but wait until you have passed the initial stage!
Sakurako Kobayakawa was surprised: "That...... They won't vote for us next time, huh?"
Yuzaburo Suzuki said confidently: "Lie next time, lie again in another way, you don't need to worry about this, they will be fooled repeatedly." ”
Sakurako Kobayakawa has nothing to say, and Maruko also thinks it's good, although she really wants to clean up the big conglomerates, first, to make room for her family, and second, she wants to really master Japan.
Since there is no difference in philosophy, then everything is easy to say, Maruko sat down on her knees one by one, and there was nothing to find fault with in her etiquette - she was also highly trained - she bowed her head solemnly and solemnly and said: "Mr. Suzuki, it is a great honor for our Aihara family to have your help, and I would like you to entrust you with the matter of the Supreme Council to form a party campaign!"
Yuzaburo Suzuki was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this little girl to be so courageous, just after talking for an hour, he was willing to put this kind of big matter in his hands, and he didn't even need to have a meeting to discuss it or ask for instructions.
This magnanimity ...... It's so rare!
But he did have confidence in himself, he was not polite, and nodded heavily: "Please look forward to my performance, Gui Sang, bet on my reputation, I will not let you down!"
Maruko smiled, "Welcome to join us, Mr. Suzuki...... As you will gradually discover, the Aihara family is a very generous family and never treats meritorious people badly, so please don't be burdened in the slightest and do your best to show off your talents......!
As she spoke, her voice changed, her eyes turned around the neck of the Suzuki father and son, and her tone gradually became cold: "The Aihara family can forgive failure, but they will never forgive betrayal - if you have bad intentions or betray us, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will definitely take your head!"
Maruko's eyes were like sharp blades, and he scraped directly on the neck of Suzuki father and son, Suzuki Yuzaburo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and Suzuki Yuzaburo's face remained unchanged, and he nodded directly: "In terms of professional ethics, Gui Sang can rest assured, I will be worthy of your trust." ”
After confirming the election of the whole party, he immediately entered the role and asked Maruko for instructions: "Gui-san, I also checked some information before I came, and at present, the clan is developing well, and it has a great influence among the unemployed and the people who are dissatisfied with the status quo, and I believe that after the establishment of the party, we can take over the basic market of the Kuomintang to a large extent, but I think that these basic plates alone are not enough, as I said before, we still have to get the floating votes!"
"Mr. Suzuki just said what you want to do!"
"Yes, Gui Sang! I suggest that we add two more platforms to our propaganda. In addition to the little tricks, Yuzaburo Suzuki has also begun to show real kung fu.
"What is it?"
"One is denuclearization, and the other is industrial adjustment!"
Yuzaburo Suzuki carefully explained to Maruko that the use of nuclear energy has always been a hot topic in Japan, and the controversy is endless, which is very eye-catching, and the Supreme Council will not let people take advantage of it, and must also go in and intervene and insist on opposing nuclear energy!
As for industrial readjustment, the imbalance in Japan's industrial structure is not a matter of one or two years, and if you want to put it up, it can be regarded as Roosevelt pitting Japan, but the current situation of this industrial imbalance is conducive to the big conglomerates, and the big conglomerates are opposed to the adjustment of the proportion of industries......
Japan is not a suitable place for the development of manufacturing in the first place, so let's just make it clear to the voters - in the past, the candidates were afraid of big business groups and tried to avoid this issue, but the Supreme Council did not worry about this, and could use it as a conflict point, and talking about this issue could immediately stand out from the crowd!
Yuzaburo Suzuki confessed his plan to Maruko, Maruko is really suspicious, and he is not suspicious, and all of them agree - Maruko plans to send one of the eight girls to follow him around the clock, and kill his whole family if something goes wrong!
It's just that there is one problem that she can't solve.
Yuzaburo Suzuki asked who would be the leader of the Supreme Society after the establishment of a party...... If the election is won, who will be the right person for the party leader to be the prime minister?
Maruko looked at herself, she really wanted to go, she was not old enough, she had to be over thirty years old! She thought about the core people in the family, they were all not old enough, what should I do?
