58 Lobbying Team
Dinghai, Chen Yan's villa.
After her sister Chen Jia had a summer vacation, she came to Dinghai to play and lived in a villa.
"This villa is so big, there is a garden, a lotus pond, a pavilion, a yard, if only I could live in this villa all the time. Chen Jia said.
"I'll give you this villa after you graduate. Chen Yan said that Chen Yan bought this villa as an investment, and he didn't live often, and after his sister graduated, if he came to Dinghai to work, he would have a place to live.
"Really. Chen Jia's eyes lit up.
"Of course it's true. Chen Yan said.
"Brother, you're so good. ”
……
"Brother, let's go shopping, I'm going to buy some clothes. Chen Jia said.
Chen Yan often gives his sister Chen Jia pocket money, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands at a time, Chen Jia has become exquisite, can afford to wear high-end clothes, and can afford to use beautiful decorations.
In the past, Chen Jia was dressed in a T-shirt for dozens of yuan, jeans, ordinary step shoes, and her skin was a little dark, not beautiful and inconspicuous, but now, there are many boys chasing after her in school.
"Go ahead, I'll have an appointment later. Chen Yan said, took out a card and handed it to Chen Jia, and said, "Brother has never had time to go shopping with you, just swipe my card if you like, and I will compensate you." ”
Chen Jia took the card and said, "Is this a centurion black gold card?" ”
"This card was issued to me and I rarely spend it. Chen Yan said.
……
Chen Jia got out of the villa, then took out his mobile phone, took a picture of the centurion black gold card, and showed off on the micro \1 blog, holding my brother's card and preparing to go crazy
shopping。
"It's amazing, I can take the Centurion Black Gold Card shopping. ”
"There is a rich and spoiled brother, who is willful. ”
……
In a high-end restaurant in Dinghai, Chen Yan sat by the window.
"Hello Mr. Chen, I'm Friesen John, and I've been in contact with you on the phone. A middle-aged man in a suit, a red tie, a cleanly shaved beard, and a neat look walked over.
"Hello, sit down and talk in detail. Chen Yan said.
Friesen John sat down and set his briefcase aside.
Friesn John flew from HSD to Dinghai yesterday and made an appointment to meet today.
Serving a client worth more than $2 billion deserves a lot of attention from Friesen John.
Chen Yan and Friesen John chatted casually.
After chatting for a few minutes, we got to the point.
"The purpose of your approach to us is for us to lobby the Vantua government to convince the Vanuatu government to sell you sovereignty over Anatom Island, which, to be honest, is difficult. ”
The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution gives citizens the right to petition the government. Every citizen has the right to make a case to the government, that is, lobbying is protected by the U.S. Constitution.
The HSD Center in the United States has an east-west K Street, flanked by various law firms and consulting firms next to each other, and the top figures in the lobbying industry gather in this "lobbyist street", where lobbyists serve the employers behind them and try to influence the actions, policies, or decisions of members of the government, legislators, or regulators.
For example, at the Navajo Nation office in Room 1010, 750 NE 1st Street, HSD, one of their key tasks is to lobby the U.S. government and Congress to fight for the Navajo Nation's rights.
The Navajo Nation is the largest Indian reservation in the United States.
The "US-Israel Public Affairs Committee" always pays close attention to US foreign policy decisions on the Middle East, tries to influence important personnel arrangements, and does everything possible to protect Israel's security interests in the Middle East.
If you've seen Hollywood movies and house of cards, you'll have a clearer idea of American-style lobbying.
Of course, lobbyists are not just lobbying the U.S. government, as long as they are willing to spend money, the top lobbyists, and even a professional lobbying team are willing to serve the employer, for example, Chen Yan hired Friesen John to lobby the Vantua government to persuade the Vanuatu government to sell the sovereignty of Anatom Island to Chen Yan, Friesen John himself is a professional lobbyist, and there is a professional and large lobbying team behind him.
Chen Yan said, "If it weren't for the difficulty, I wouldn't be looking for you, and I hope you will do your best to convince the Vantua government to sell the island sovereignty of Anatom Island to me." ”
Friesen John nodded, "Okay, we'll do our best to get you there, and you'll have to pay $15 million." ”
$15 million is a reasonable charge.
Because it is not only Friesen John who is serving Chen Yan alone, but a large professional lobbying team serving Chen Yan.
Chen Yan said, "Yes." ”
……
Chen Yan paid $15 million.
There is a persuasion team to act in Port Vila.
These people can be described as pervasive.
These people showed up at the presidential palace, the homes of parliamentarians, and officials in Vanutua, lobbied, threw money, and used public opinion to persuade 270,000 people in Vantua.
Vanutua from the president, members of parliament to ordinary people are all lobbied by them, they are very clever, to the president, the members of parliament set of rhetoric, as long as you agree to sell the sovereignty of Anatom Island to Chen Yan, you can get a huge amount of island sales fees, this money can pay off China's arrears, the government has enough money to develop tourism, develop the economy, create a better life for the people, and even some of the money can be put into your pockets, even if you put a small part of the island sales fee into your pockets, everyone can become multimillionaires。
Persuade the people to say that as long as they agree to sell the island, everyone can get tens of thousands of dollars, and everyone can become a rich man.
What you are selling is an uninhabited island, a few hundred nautical miles from the main island, a lonely island in Oceania, which has no effect on your life at all.
The lobbying team was very good at lobbying, and it took a month to throw less than $2 million, and Vantua was persuaded from top to bottom.
270,000 people agreed to sell the island.
The majority of parliamentarian votes in favor of selling the island.
The president agreed to sell the island.
However, the Vanuans are not stupid, even the lobbying team has been dispatched to persuade us to sell the island, Chen Yan wants to buy the sovereignty of Anatom Island is very determined, it is bound to win, the initiative is in our hands, Vanutua's astronomical sum of 11 billion US dollars, can sell the sovereignty of the island and territorial waters of Anatom Island.
The lobbying team replied to Chen Yan.
Chen Yan, of course, would not agree to Vantua's offer, $11 billion, unless he was kicked in the head by a donkey.
The lobbying team replied to Vanua, $6 billion.
