(I thought my heart was like water, but it turned out to be a wave.) If the state is not good, tonight will be a chapter of 4,000 words. Sorry!)

……

Speaking of which, Mayor Dick and Link are not quite right.

Although there is Link and the name of the richest man, Mr. Mayor has to sell Link's face. However, the problem is that the mayor of Dick started his career in the timber business and has a lot of money.

In a small city like Fox, money really isn't too much of a key thing when it comes to elections. When Link was reluctant to obviously interfere with Fox's "democracy", Mr. Mayor really didn't need to look at Link's face to do anything.

Mayor elections in the United States are direct elections. In a small city like Fox, the entire Fox City currently has a population of only 18,000, and the whole city will know who is a little famous. Propaganda and the like are speeches on the radio, and the whole city can hear them as soon as you turn on the microphone. It doesn't require much expenditure in terms of publicity, so it doesn't really make much difference whether a candidate is worth a million or a billion.

Because Link didn't intend to rig the election here, he never openly supported that candidate. Dick, a Republican, and Link, the pro-Democrat plutocracy, are not quite right, and they will not affect his vote.

Mr. Mayor did not dare to go too far after being elected. What Link is going to do may be delayed for a while. But in the end, it will be done smoothly. Therefore, Link didn't intend to embarrass him.

But this time, the mayor can't control his trouser chains, and he is going to affect Rirink's plan.

Link plans to start the third phase of the Werewolf Theme Park – and the final – once approved, he will start the third phase of Fox New Town.

He intends to increase Fox's population capacity to around fifty thousand next year. His goal is to apply for the use of the area in the middle of Fox New Town and Werewolf-themed workers.

That land was a wooded land. If Link wants to use it, he must be approved by a vote of the citizens.

If Link wants the citizens to agree, he has to give the citizens a little favor. The Werewolf theme park is one of those benefits.

Werewolf theme parks can bring new jobs, and more visitors. And the new city can bring a larger local business market to the local area. This will probably make the local residents willing to accept more neighbors.

It's just that at this time, Mr. Mayor turned out to have a problem. And I don't know how long this issue will be troubled.

Americans can elect a mayor, but they can't vote to remove a mayor. It was a scandal, not a violation of the law, and if Mayor Dick stayed in that position, no one could stand it.

But Fox is sure to mess up with it, and I don't know if Link's plans at Fox are good or bad. At least in organizing citizens to vote on whether or not to develop the land, I am afraid that it will not be possible for a while.

Jessica said, "I think that might affect your plans. Maybe you'll need to think of something else. ”

Link said with a smile, "There will definitely be some impact. There won't be a problem though. Will you leave work early today?"

"I don't think so. Today I'm going to have a video conference with the company. There is also some work to be done. I'll leave work on time, though. Jessica said this, and was about to hang up. "Love you, that's all. ”

Link replied "love you too" to the phone that hung up.

After he hung up the phone, he thought about it, dialed a call, and said, "Amanda, there's news from Fox......"

Since Mayor Dick might stay in his seat and refuse to come down, he will do his best to push people down. Whether the deputy mayor takes over in the future or re-elects a new mayor, it will be more beneficial to his plan.

Amanda is very capable of handling things, and that night, NTV reported the news of Mayor Fox's extramarital affair. The "zipper door" news in such a small place would not have been able to make headlines on a big TV station like NTV.

But in the case of cheating in the municipal office and being broken by the woman's husband, Mayor Dick may be the first case in the United States.

That kind of news is the real news.

All of a sudden, the whole country should have seen Mayor Fox as a joke. Although the scandal was reported by Link's media, giving Fox some more negative reputation, the Fox people can't blame Link anyway.

Because that's the truth.

The Fox people watched the ridicule from the outside world, and some people began to organize street demonstrations to demand the resignation of the incumbent unseemly mayor.

After all, the mayor represents the image of a city, and if a mayor who has an immoral extramarital affair or a mayor who cheats in an executive office, how can Fox's image be embarrassing?

Fox is now a tourist city, welcoming two million domestic and foreign tourists each year. If people think of this [3] stealing love mayor when they mention Fox in the future, they Fox will be finished.

When Jessica came home from work the next day, she leaned on Link's shoulder and said, "It looks like Mr. Mayor has to think about stepping down." ”

Link laughed and said, "It's also good if he can step down sooner." ”

Although Fox is not big, it can develop to such a big point, and it is also promoted by Link. With him, even if a pig sits in the position of mayor, Fox can get a good development.

But if the mayor can't even maintain a good image, then it makes Link feel that he has managed to make a delicious cake and suddenly sticks to a green-headed fly, which is as disgusting as a green-headed fly.

What Mayor Dick did before, as long as it was not beyond Link's tolerance, Link did not intend to interfere in Fox's election. But now Dick has influenced his plans. And the Fox who single-handedly promoted his development was disgraced.

Jessica said, "It's just that if Dick steps down, it doesn't seem to be suitable to be mayor." ”

Link thought about it for a moment and realized that it was really like that. But he didn't care and said, "Anyway, just elect a new one." ”

"But if you don't have a mayor who is capable enough, you will definitely have a lot of problems with your plans. ”

Most of Fox's residents have moved in the last few years, and few of them can really convince the public in terms of prestige. Even if a new mayor is elected, if he does not have the ability to govern the entire city. If it is chosen, it may be a bad thing.

Link was also helpless: "Fox is not one of those cities with a pleasant climate, and there are no rich people to settle in. That's no way around it. "It's not that Fox doesn't have the ability, it's just that those people may not be willing to put down the business they are doing.

"Either let the top brass of the bank run for election. They've lived at Fox for so long that they're eligible to run. ”

"Do you think they'd be willing to give up a good salary to become a mayor who is nothing?" Link said with a smile and shaking his head. "Otherwise, if I don't run, I should be able to get more than half of the votes. ”

Jessica looked at him and smiled, "Are you going to disclose your property?"

Even running for mayor of Fox requires the disclosure of property. Link certainly wouldn't go public about his fortune for a tiny mayoral position.

Forbes magazine estimated his fortune similarly, but its assessment of cash and other monetary assets was inaccurate. Forbes magazine estimates the most accurate part of those stocks. If Link had made his fortune public, it might have been even more eye-catching.

He laughed and said, "Otherwise, we support one person to run." ”

Jessica could also see that he was joking. But she didn't think it was a good idea. Politics in the United States is rigged, but it is a class that is rigged. So no one who knows will say anything about it. But if Link rigged Fox's election. But it will be infinitely magnified.

The United States is a country of "democracy and freedom". Election rigging is against the spirit of the United States as a whole.

"We're watching every move. It's just a little Fox, but if someone says you're rigging the election, they'll throw you in jail. ”

Link also got serious, saying, "It's a contradiction. The vast majority of Fox's inhabitants are now workers or ordinary citizens. Fox, on the other hand, is a small city. That's the right place for mayor that no one else can do. ”

Jessica laughed and said, "Forget it." Let's wait until Mayor Dick resigns. ”

Link nodded and said, "Then let's talk about our gymnasium plan." Is the Benehans Group willing to fund?"

"Of course, no problem, the other companies have agreed to fund?"

"Westward agreed to fund five million dollars, and Fox Foods was willing to fund five million as well. Although the financial investment company moved out, it said it was willing to fund $10 million. There is also a $50 million contribution from the Hans Foundation. The total investment needs to be 250 million dollars, and the Benehans Group will pay as much as it wants, and the banks will pay the rest. ”

Link needs the city of Fox very much.

That's not to say that Link made Fox his base, but the whole of America knew that Fox was developed by him. It was his investment that allowed Fox to grow from a town of 3,000 to a small city of 18,000 in just two years.

Link wanted to make Fox a personal calling card. Hopefully, Fox will become a small city with a population of more than 50,000. And it can become a tourist city that can receive three million tourists a year.

Fox is already a city with Link's deep imprint, and as long as someone comes to visit, they will know that the city was built by him. If Fox is good, his reputation is good.

Especially at this stage, Fox's reputation is closely related to his reputation.

And he wanted to make Fox his golden business card.

The stadium plan he proposed is a sub-plan of the Fox plan. In order to host the final venue of the planned National Children and Youth Games.

In Link's plan, the National Games program is the same as the Hannah Children's and Teenagers' Art Competition, which is a non-profit project. The Hans Foundation will dedicate hundreds of millions of dollars a year to host such competitions. Participants from each state will be invited to participate in a sports day.

Such a sports meeting does not seek broadcast or commercial sponsorship. Instead, Link will give the winner a big prize to attract more children to participate.

Link did all of that just to make Fox more famous in the United States and more recognized in the minds of the American public.

Of course, as long as there are children participating in such a sports event, parents will definitely come with it, and maybe it will attract a lot of tourists to watch the games. That would also have a boost for Fox's business.

The Benehans Group agreed to invest $50 million. At the same time, it was agreed to fund this year's Fox Food Festival with $100,000. ”

"If you don't say it, I'll forget about it. Jackson called me the other day and said that this year's food festival is going to have a competition for children and teenagers. Not only children from Fox can participate, but also children from visitors. However, it requires the organizing committee to prepare the ingredients. More funding is definitely going to be needed this year. ”

Jackson is the chairman of the Fox Food Festival organizing committee. In the past two years, the funds for the preparation of the food festival have been mainly funded by Link himself, and some other companies will also sponsor some of them. Today, a food festival needs about $5 million in funding.

That's because those businesses don't need any fees as long as they qualify. The publicity and organization of the food festival need to be undertaken by the organizing committee. And this part of the expenditure is, of course, borne by Link.

Jessica mentions the food festival, and Link thinks of Mayor Dick on the throne.

Food Festival: This festival is best held after Mayor Dick's zipper-door incident has subsided. But the Fox Food Festival now has a fixed date, just in mid-July every year, for three consecutive days. At that time, children are on vacation, which can attract more people to participate.

Although it is still early before the food festival, it has already accepted applications from enterprises or individuals and has begun to review qualifications.

Last year, more than 100 companies moved in and more than 200,000 people participated. This year, both businesses and tourists are likely to be more. If Fox is not unified internally, it simply cannot afford to host such an event.

Not to mention anything else, it is difficult to do public security.

Jessica smiled: "Speaking of which, Fox now has a werewolf cultural festival, a food festival, a month-long national children's and teenagers' art competition, and a sports day in the future." Your plan is probably almost successful. ”

"Actually, there can be more, such as adult art festivals, and flower art festivals, etc. It would be nice to have a few art and music competitions. ”

"I think you can do that, but if you want to do it well, I'm afraid it will take some time. ”

"Well, maybe, we can start with a film festival. The Nolan brothers are now big names in Hollywood, and I have a cinema chain, and I think those who make movies will also give me a little face. ”

"Well, that's something to think about. For example, set a special topic, a horror movie or a werewolf and vampire movie. Although those movies are relatively niche, we just need to attract these kinds of fans. ”

It definitely costs money to do that. But what is money to Link?

Now Link has too much money to spend, and even if he spends a lot of money for charity and those grants, he still has $20 billion a year in after-tax income.

That's net income, not stock appreciation, but real money.

It is precisely because of this that Link does not dare to declare his wealth to run for any government position.

Jessica calculated that Link's investment in Fox was at least more than two billion dollars.

And, with the exception of werewolf theme parks and new town projects, most of them are investments that don't seek returns. In fact, the return on those two projects is not much.

Of course, Link isn't completely selfless. It's just that that Fox has to be under Link's control to be helpful to Link.

And this scandal that Dick is mayor is something out of Link's control. For loss of control, the vast majority of people will not like it.

Jessica didn't like it, and Link didn't like it even more.

In fact, since the start of the New Town project, Link has treated Fox as the city he owns.

So Link had suggested that Jessica run for mayor after Camp stepped down. It's just that Jessica wasn't interested in it at that time, and he didn't want to wronged his wife. If Jessica had run at that time, there would have been nothing wrong with that Dick.
