Chapter Ninety-Five: Sir, Your Seal Hall Is Black
After listening to the assistant's words, Kent Heaini nodded and did not make any comments. He had already practiced those that he had already practiced, and he would never smash this play.
"In addition, we have invited several well-known people who will take the lead in donating. ”
"You have to work harder, and get the fools to donate more, preferably a thousand dollars each. You know, that's going to make my support look even higher!" Kent Heaney began.
In fact, he thinks that his campaign money is already a bit tight, and now is the most critical moment, and his approval rating is not too big of an advantage over his rivals, and he can't advertise without enough money. Although those media said they supported him, they did not support him unconditionally.
If there is no rule that each person can only donate a maximum of $1,000 in political contributions to a single politician in a year. He would definitely ask for more.
By this time, Link had arrived at Kent Heaney's destination.
Link arrived at Roswell with Mike and Warren before noon. He received the news that Rothwell's campaign speech would begin at two o'clock in the afternoon.
He followed Kent Heaney to see if there was a chance to get the other party. As he ate, he said to Mike, "Mike, running for governor, how can you shake hands with voters." ”
Mike shrugged his shoulders and said, "Most of the people who can shake hands are arranged. Of course, if he was given a check for a thousand dollars on the spot, he would kiss two of them even if it was a lump of horse manure. ”
Link's heart moved, and he said, "Then you will donate a thousand campaign funds to them in my name." ”
Mike froze for a moment. He could see that the boss was very disgusted with Kent Heaney: "Boss, are you sure?"
Link took another bite of the burger, put the remaining half down, and said, "Yes, I'd like to have a few words with him nearby." ”
Warren said with some concern: "Boss, although the security of the gubernatorial candidate is not as good as that of the presidential candidate, it is also protected by law. In fact, all candidates at the government level are protected to varying degrees. ”
He was well aware of Link's skills, and the combined number of their bodyguards might not be his opponents. Kent Heaney's useless body, Link can knock out with one punch. If Link had punched that bastard, he might have knocked him into shock.
He didn't want Link to go to jail for impulsiveness.
Link knew his worries, wiped his hands with a smile and said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything for someone like that." I'm just going to have a few words with him. It's a bit expensive, but I have to say those two sentences to his face. ”
After Michael and Warren looked at each other, he nodded and said, "Boss, you can just keep calm." "They all know why Link is disgusted with Kent Heaney. And they also suspect that the cattle sales at Hanova Farm are controlled by Kent Heaney. But there is nowhere to say anything like that. Link is still a young man, and it is indeed normal that he can't swallow this breath.
It didn't take long for Mike to come back with an invoice and hand it to Link saying, "This is a special invoice for political donations." Priority admission will be given to the meeting. He whispered instead. "I asked if Kent Heaney would shake hands with the donations when they entered. With this ticket, you can enter first between 1:30 and 1:50, and then you can stand at the front of the supporters. ”
Regardless of which position they are running for, a candidate can accept donations from others to fund their campaign. However, each person may not donate more than $1,000 per year to the same candidate. Of course, if you want to support the candidate more, he will also help you find a way to overcome the legal obstacles.
Link laughed and said, "Well, his hand is worth more than a diamond! But he said that, and carefully put away the invoice.
They waited until half-past one and left the restaurant before driving to the Brown Dog Park. The park is just east of a small rugby field, where there is a large lawn where gatherings can be held. There was a large parking lot on the west side of the stadium, and when they arrived, there were already a lot of cars parked in the parking lot.
They parked their cars and walked along the barbed wire fence of the stadium to the east, where they found that the boxy grass in the middle had been fenced off, and many people outside with supporting slogans were rotted outside the makeshift fence. Inside the guardrail is a makeshift platform with a photograph of Kent Heaney and anything depicting his campaign slogan and platform.
Link came to the crowd and heard someone whispering, "This damn sun." Why hasn't anyone arrived? Thirty dollars is really not profitable. ”
When he heard this, he looked over to see a few people with Kent Heaney's support slogans spitting on the.
Link looked at their washed and white clothes, thinking they were unemployed.
He took a closer look and saw that there was a clear distinction in the crowd. The other group was dressed up brightly. And most people look at it if they are not black or Latino, but they are obviously unemployed.
He walked up to a few Latinos, perhaps because he was yellow, and although they looked at him vigilantly, they didn't disperse: "Friend, is there anything wrong with you?"
Link smiled and asked, "Are you Latinos?" I thought Latinos would be more supportive of Giovanni. ”
"What do you mean? Are you a journalist?"
Link shook his head with a smile and said, "No, no! I'm not a journalist." In fact, I was a pollster hired by Giovanni. It's not the kind of media that holds a report and asks you to fill it out. Because Giovanni needs more realistic data. ”
When the men heard him say that, they thought he was not lying, and one of the short men whispered, "Support is support, voting is voting." Those are two different things. Of course, if Giovanni is willing to pay, we are willing to show our support for him in front of the TV. ”
Link said thoughtfully, "You're right, man. You have to support the right people, but you also have to eat. ”
He smiled and left. Then he saw that the well-dressed people were ready to enter.
He also took out the invoice and lined up to enter first.
As soon as all of them with the donation receipts entered, the temporary railings around them were removed and the others knew they were going to get to work. They held up the injured placards and hurrahed into the meadow.
It didn't take long for a man in a black suit to say a few words into the walkie-talkie. Then he stood on the high platform and said in a loud voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Senator is about to arrive. Please welcome with utmost enthusiasm Mr. Kent Heaney, who seeks the welfare of all of us!" he said, clapping vigorously.
It wasn't intense at first. But the "supporters" seemed to be commanded, and the cheers and shouts suddenly erupted from the rear. As supporters cheered for almost a minute and the pitch reached its peak, Kent Heaney finally walked out from behind the background holding hands with a middle-aged woman.
As soon as he came out, the shouts and cheers were even louder. However, he also seemed to hear a man chanting in Chinese: "Kent Hea, I'm Nyima, let your daughter come and give me monkeys!"
Hearing this, he had to worry that the man would be killed. He glanced back, but behind him there were placards waving aloftly, as if there was no confusion, and no one heard the words, or thought that the supporters were too excited to shout out their native language.
So Kent Heaney waved to the "supporters" from time to time, still with a big smile on his face.
He made his way into the venue and shook hands with the people at the front all the way. The people in front were very excited, and Link was so excited when he saw an old lady in gold and silver shaking hands with Kent Heaney that he was seeing his father who had been dead for many years. If it weren't for the fact that her eyes always skimmed to the camera that followed her, her acting skills would really be passable.
To be honest, Link really wants to give her a copy of "Actor's Family Upbringing", hoping that she won't recognize her father in the future just to be on camera.
When Kent Heaaney walked up to Link saying "thank-you" and "i-love-you" all the way to the "supporters". He seemed to be slightly stunned at seeing Link here, but he had already habitually reached out his hand, and it was held by Link.
Sensing that he wanted to withdraw his hand, Link squeezed it a little harder, and said with a sincere smile on his face, "Mr. Kentheheney, the rally you organized was a success, and I think it will be a successful speech." ”
Kent Heaney was surprised that Link would be here, but he said thank you repeatedly.
Maybe he thought Link was genuinely trying to support him. So while he did deal with Link secretly, he still had a politician's smile on his face.
Link's handshake was too long, and just before Kent Heaney's bodyguard came up to intervene, Link suddenly said in Chinese: "But, your Yintang is black!" A mysterious smile appeared on his face after he finished speaking, and he let go of his hand before the bodyguard arrived.
Kent Heaney is quite discriminatory against Chinese and certainly does not understand Chinese. And even if you understand it, you won't understand what it means to be 'black in the hall'. So when he heard a word of Chinese, he didn't take it seriously at all, and after withdrawing his hand, he continued to shake hands with others.
The bodyguard who rushed over was beside him, and he didn't even look at Link again.
Link's goal has been achieved, and there is no need to remain in a crowd surrounded by the smell of sweat and perfume. He quietly squeezed in and out of the crowd. Then break away from the crowd with the help of Warren and Mike.
Link turned around and glanced at Kent Heaney, who had already walked up to the high platform, and said to a few bodyguards with a smile, "Let's just wait here." ”
Several bodyguards surrounded him in the middle, because the people invited by Kenthini had already noticed several of them, and if they hadn't seen him with a few bodyguards, they might have come up and searched him.
Kent Heaney was already speaking on stage, and it has to be said that his speech was very incendiary and sincere. But Link knew it was just a show for the audience in front of the TV. Most of the people at the scene were taking money to do things, and probably they didn't need him to cheat.
