Chapter 804: This Friendship Is Settled
In the United States, elections are considered a political activity cobbled together with money, and large campaign funds are a major feature of elections.
One scholar wrote: "The election of American politicians is entirely funded by money, and the cost is enormous. ”
In the election process, the mass media is an indispensable tool for candidates, and candidates need to spend a lot of money to publicize a lot through the media in order to improve their position in the elections.
Therefore, in the election process, candidates need a lot of money to support.
Under such circumstances, the participation of interest groups in elections has also become a major feature of American elections.
Interest groups use their deep pockets and information resources to support candidates, put pressure on the electoral process, and gain policy support by investing in elections.
What Wu Xiaozheng wants to do now is to become the financier behind Giuliani, although he doesn't know what kind of reward he will receive.
As the future mayor of New York, Giuliani also has a good IQ.
He smiled and asked, "U, as a Chinese, do you also support my election as mayor of New York?" Could it be that you still have plans for great development in New York?"
This is a euphemistic inquiry about Wu Xiaozheng's conditions.
The money is paid by the financiers, and the politicians give a certain amount of support in policy after being elected, and this is the rule of the game in the US election.
Therefore, as a smart candidate, it is not that you dare to collect any money, and you have to negotiate the conditions first.
Wu Xiaozheng said with a smile: "I only have some small investments in New York for the time being, so I don't have any special expectations in terms of policy. I just want to support you because I recognize your policy strategy, and I want New York to become safer and more developed. ”
"U, I'm honored to have such a friend as you. "Giuliani was overjoyed.
He is saying that he will accept Wu Xiaozheng's political donation and treat him as a friend.
Wu Xiaozheng is about to get married, so naturally there is more than that.
Besides, even if he had the idea of supporting Giuliani, he couldn't have supported much in terms of money. You know, he has too much to spend money on in the coming year.
But he had another way.
"My friend, I have more than a little friendship with you! If you need it, I can try to communicate with my friends at the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association and get them to support you as well. And I may have a way to get the entire Chinese population in New York to support you in the election. ”
Giuliani was immediately stunned.
You must know that after so many years of development, the Chinese in New York have a considerable number, and these people in the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association have a particularly great influence among the Chinese and have very strong economic strength.
This is a huge force that both candidates will fight for in a campaign.
In order to gain the support of the Chinese, Giuliani has been working hard, including this shooting, he also took the initiative to help to win the favor of the Chinese.
However, under the current circumstances, no one is sure that he will be able to win the support of all Chinese.
There was no one who could help Giuliani pack the ticket, saying that he could help him gain the support of all the Chinese.
Even William Lin may not be so sure!
"Really? Can you really do that?"
Although Giuliani was excited, he doubted Wu's ability.
It was really hard for him to believe that a Chinese who had just arrived in New York could have such a huge influence.
"You may not know it, but I have in my hands what the Chinese businessmen in New York are interested in, and after a while, they will go to China with me to find new opportunities to make a fortune. Therefore, I just need you to give me a little reason to convince them, and they should support me. ”
Giuliani was stunned.
He finally understood why so many famous New York Chinese businessmen came to visit the hospital during yesterday's shooting, and they were also quite polite to Wu Xiaozheng, which turned out to be the reason.
Giuliani was even more excited.
He knew that if Wu Xiaozheng really had the opportunity to make a fortune for the Chinese businessmen, it would indeed make the vast majority of Chinese businessmen give him this face.
To put it bluntly, no relationship is as good as a relationship of interests.
But he still has questions.
"Dear U, my friend, I believe you can help me get the support of all Chinese businessmen, but the matter of Chinese voting is ......"
He asked rather tactfully.
He already believed that Wu Xiaozheng did have the strength to help him persuade the Chinese businessmen in New York, but it was not so simple to get all the Chinese to vote for him, and this was not something that the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association could do.
Since Wu Xiaozheng dares to promise, he naturally has a way.
"My friend, you should know about the organization of the Hongmen Zhigongtang, right? I have an elder who is an important patriarch of this organization, so I can also say something within the Hongmen. ”
Wu Xiaozheng threw out another huge bait.
But he did not reveal his identity in Hongmen.
Giuliani was stunned again.
He naturally knew about the existence of Hongmen Zhigongtang.
He knew that among the Chinese, this was a mysterious non-governmental organization that was more influential than the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association.
In fact, he is familiar with the main person in charge of the Hongmen Zhigong Court.
Regrettably, this organization has always kept a close distance from him.
He suddenly remembered one thing, after yesterday's shooting, He Shiyuan was the first to arrive here, and he has been staying here.
What he said was true!
Giuliani is aware of this.
Now he was in complete ecstasy.
He knows that if Wu Xiaozheng can really do what he says, then he has a great chance of winning this year's election.
The promise he made just now is far more valuable than paying real money!
You know, the Chinese make up 15% of the total population of New York City, which is definitely a huge force!
"U, my friend, that's great! I promise that as long as I can become mayor of New York, I will do my best to help you if you ask for anything!"
Excited, Giuliani no longer had any scruples and began to make huge promises.
It is impossible for him not to give promises.
You must know that if Wu Xiaozheng really has such a ability, if he is not sincere enough, and Wu Xiaozheng falls to the side of David Ding Qinshi, the mayor of New York at the time, then he is likely to face another election defeat.
This force is a little too large!
"My friend, I said that I decided to support you because I admired your politics and believed that you could make New York a better place. I don't really have any special requirements right now. ”
Wu Xiaozheng is still saying beautiful things.
In this regard, he really has no specific policy needs at this time.
On the other hand, as long as he does it, Giuliani will owe him a lot of money, and he will not dare not pay it back, because he will face the next mayoral election.
This friendship, he is determined!
