Chapter 474: I Want More Than Just Money
The progress of Fox's werewolf theme park project, Kemp is more anxious than anyone else.
Of course, what he's anxious about is not when Link will be able to make money with this theme park, but when he will be able to have more political capital.
Once the first phase of the Werewolf theme park is completed, it will create at least 300 jobs. And this employment opportunity will definitely prioritize those who are familiar with werewolf culture. If you want to say that you are familiar with werewolf culture, there is a place in the whole United States that can compare with Fox, so the residents of Fox must be the most competitive.
Especially since the Werewolf theme park is on Fox, Link will definitely prioritize the locals.
Especially important, theme parks are likely to attract a large number of visitors. It will become a shining business card of Fox and let more people know Fox. If you know Fox, you will know that Fox has him as mayor. This kind of propaganda effect, the closer to Fox, the better the effect. And that's exactly what he wants.
The more people know about him, the more people will follow him. The more potential votes he can strove for.
Although the next election is still more than a year away, he is already starting to prepare. If possible, he could even use Fox's developments as his campaign propaganda to turn Fox's news into his news. If done well, perhaps he could consider running directly for state legislature.
Elections for state legislators are conducted on a constituency basis. Fox's district doesn't have a large population, but if more people in his district vote for him, even if there are only 10 people in the district, he can be elected to the state legislature. What he needs to do is to take advantage of the imminent explosion of Fox's population to win more votes from other towns and communities.
If he wants voters in other cities and communities to choose him, he needs to show a good resume and convince voters that the promises he made can be realized.
At the same time, he craves Link's support.
Knowing that Link was recruited, he pushed back his other work and rushed to the Ozette Bank building as soon as possible.
Anne introduced him into the office of the president of the Beni Hans company: "Mr. Hans, the mayor of camp is here. ”
Link looked up, smiled at Kemp, and said, "Kemp, please take a seat! Annie, please bring in twice as much coffee." ”
Kemp walked over to his office and sat down, saying, "Link, God knows, I can't wait for the theme park to open its doors right away." But I was disappointed to think that it hadn't even started construction. ”
"Haha, I don't think you'll have to be disappointed anytime soon. Link said with a smile. "I plan to start construction on the theme park in the near future. ”
"It's good news. Do you need my cooperation?" Camp is very smart, he doesn't say it's the cooperation of the city government, but he says it's his cooperation. "I will do my best to cooperate with your work. ”
Link smiled and nodded, "Yes, I need your help and the city government." ”
The size of the theme park is huge, and the construction process may disturb the lives of Fox residents right now, and it may cause some mess. At the same time, it should also be connected to public municipal works, such as electricity, sewerage, etc. This needs to be addressed by the municipality in this regard.
At this time, Anne brought coffee in, and then withdrew.
I heard that Link was worried about these issues. After taking a sip of coffee, Camp said, "Link, your worries are completely unnecessary. In case you didn't know, the vast majority of Fox citizens are just like me, desperate for theme parks to open as soon as possible. Everyone knows that this park will be of great benefit to Fox. ”
"If that's the case, of course it's the best. I will not disappoint the city government and the citizens of Fox and will make a good change in Fox as soon as possible. ”
"So, it's a project that everybody can benefit from. Isn't it? So we're all willing to put up with temporary inconveniences. ”
Link smiled and nodded, and then said, "And, Kemp." For our theme park to be built, we had to cut down some trees. You know I'm understaffed, and I'm lazy. I would like to see the formalities simplified a bit. ”
Camp immediately promised: "Our municipality will try to accommodate your needs as much as possible." ”
"That's great. Link said with a smile. "By the way, I remember it was going to be Fox Food Festival again. Do you have any special plans for this edition?"
In fact, Fox's food festival does not have a specific time, and it is usually held when most people are free. For example, when students are on vacation and adults are resting. Sometimes it depends on the weather.
However, Camp is at the height of his ambitions at this time, and of course he is not willing to let go of any opportunity to promote Fox. Fox's food festival doesn't have any fame, but it does attract a small number of visitors. For a small town like Fox, the more people you know, the more fame you have. So, of course, this year he will not forget the festival.
"If the weather permits, I plan to hold this year's food festival on the second weekend of July," he laughs. At that time, the students have just been out of the holidays, and they should be allowed to relax. ”
"A good idea. "After the students are on vacation, it's summer again. This is the peak tourist season. "Maybe I can provide some funding this year. For example, there are some live food competitions. ”
Previously, the food festival was held to raise money for the Fox Werewolf Cultural Center. Now that the funds needed for the cultural center have already been covered by Link, and even the project is almost completed, the money from the food sold at this year's food festival will of course no longer be donated to the cultural center.
But Camp wants the festival to have a better reputation. Therefore, he hopes that the money received from the food purchased at the food festival can still be donated. It's just that the money donated will be used to help citizens who are in difficulty in Fox's life.
Link didn't think that was the best way to go. He pondered for a moment and said, "Kemp, if you let the citizens donate all the food they make, it will discourage them. Of course, I'm not saying that they aren't philanthropic, but that they think about the cost and can't bring out their best food. ”
Camp also knows it's a problem. The previous food festival was more of a joke, mostly with children playing: "So what do you think?"
"Perhaps, we can let the residents of Fox do their best. It is up to them to decide whether to donate or not and how much they donate. But we keep statistics on what they earn. As much as they sell, I donate the sum of their earnings to Fox Social Welfare Fund. For example, it is mainly used for medical subsidies for low-income people, especially for children from low-income families. ”
"It's really better. I think all Fox citizens are willing to do their part to the city's charity. But their income is not high, and if their costs are guaranteed, there will indeed be more people willing to give their best cooking skills and donate all their profits. ”
Kemp paused as he spoke, then smiled and said, "But, would you be interested in participating in this time, Link? I think many people want to eat the dishes made by a world-class rich man, especially if they are delicious." ”
Link laughed and said, "I think I'll be free." Jessica may not be able to attend, but it was a great opportunity for Hannah to get in touch with the society. If there is time, he will attend.
"That's great. When I got back, I had people draw up a detailed plan and then inform everyone. ”
Fox is small, with a population of only a few thousand. In such a small town, the whole town can be heard by the whole town with a loud trumpet. Of course, although the sparrow is small, Fox still has its own radio station. It's just that the daily broadcast time is very short, mainly to play some free songs and town news.
For example, the news that Hannah found the treasure was made known to the citizens of All-Fox through this radio.
Kemp wanted to use everything he could: "Maybe we can invite some media as well. ”
Link hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "If you need media, I can help contact two." ”
He understands that Camp may not have used his fame to attract the media to the idea. But he also needs to make Fox more famous now. Whether it's for his children's youth art contest or his theme park, he doesn't plan to oppose the proposal. He could even push Kemp.
The more fame Fox has, the better it will be for both of his plans.
And the media that he can come to as soon as he says it is probably only West Hollywood Media, which is all his media. The other is that he will soon become a shareholder of American Chinese TV. When he speaks, they should give face too. No matter how bad it is, he can still ask Amanda to come for an interview.
Amanda's private website not only has text reports, but also videos of interviews with certain personalities. Maybe she could also make a video report about the food festival.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the bodyguards dropped Hannah to his office. These days, Alyssa is back in Europe, and Hannah doesn't need to rush back to learn to paint early, so she will come to him first and go home together when he gets off work.
Hannah ran up to him with a small bag on her back and said, "Daddy, can I take my friends on a treasure hunt in Ozet?"
"Treasure hunting?" Link said with a cold look in his eyes, but immediately smiled. "Why do you want to take your friends back on a treasure hunt?"
"None of them have found the treasure, Ozette has the treasure, and Hannah wants to find it with them. ”
"That's what Hannah thinks?"
Now I don't know how many people know that Ozette Farm has dug up treasure, and I don't know how many people want to enter Fox to dig for treasure. If it were other farmers, maybe they wouldn't be able to stop them.
But the Ozette farm has been fully fenced off and has a clear geographical boundary. Whoever wants to break in, Link has the right to shoot. And his thirty-odd bodyguards at Ozette Farm are not vegetarians.
The so-called treasure at Hans's farm, Link's attitude will definitely be dug up. Link wasn't as good as he is now, but he used helicopters and bodyguards with automatic rifles against thousands of people who tried to break into Hans's farm. Now probably no one dares to break into the Ozette farm to explore the treasure.
He was worried that the people would not think of a way to enter the Ozette farm, so they tried to trick Hannah.
Hannah nodded violently and said, "Uh-huh." Utika said that next week we will go out into the wild to catch bugs and observe. Let's prepare nets and small shovels to catch bugs. Stephen and Gilly, Jimmy, they asked me to go with me in search of treasure. ”
Hearing that it was a child who said it, Link finally put his mind at ease. He smiled and said, "Did you say yes?"
Hannah nodded and said, "Hmm." But, as Daddy said, not everywhere there is treasure. We're going to the town's park to catch bugs, and there's no treasure to dig up there. ”
"How do you know there's no treasure anywhere else?"
"The trees there are flat on the ground. There is treasure in a high place!" Hannah cleverly summed up all the lessons.
