Chapter 395: Money is the Milk of Politics
The reception was extravagant, even compared to the reception held after Prince Zeid's wedding last year.
Of course, as a low-key young rich man, Tang Feng did not attract everyone's attention at first, but the three young people around Tang Feng were all in the limelight. Gorman. Thompson, the largest shareholder of Newmont Mining, the largest gold producer in the United States, Benjamin Thompson. Rockefeller, the leader of the younger generation of the Rockefeller family, as for John. Chris. Morgan was directly designated by the Morgan family as the leader of the new generation of the Morgan family, and he himself served as the chairman of the board of directors of JPMorgan Chase, the largest bank in the United States!
Gorman is a little better, but whether it's Benjamin or Chris, take out any one, it is an existence that most people need to look up to, and the two families behind the two of them are really terrifying. Even among those who attended today's party, more than two-thirds or more were looking forward to having some relationship with the two young men.
Just kidding, although the Rockefeller family and the Morgan family do not directly control the will of the entire United States as they did at the beginning of the last century, no one dares to underestimate the influence of these two families in the United States and even the world. Although these big families have been dormant under the blows of the Antitrust Law, hidden in the shadows that cannot be seen at all, it is the terrifying and huge power of these old families that can make people feel desperate.
And now, these three young people, who are even the best among the young generation in the United States, are actually surrounding that strange Chinese young man, and they are faintly led by that Chinese young man, what kind of rhythm is this?
And, when George W. Bush pushed his daddy George H.W. Bush into the back hall, the protagonist of the party, Jeb Sr. Bush even introduced this young Chinese to his father and brother in the third place. This made a group of celebrities and tycoons around them shocked, and their jaws almost fell off.
You must know that this kind of introduction is not casually introduced, and the first in line is the current Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Paul. Davis. Ryan, who is one of the biggest names in the Republican Party, was introduced in second place by the current governor of Texas, Republican Greg Greg. Abbott, and this little-known young Chinese man turned out to be in third place. It's not just a good thing to describe!
You know, even the capital of Texas, Michael. Dale and former California governor Arnold Brown, a well-known movie star and Republican. Schwarzenegger is behind the young Chinese man!
Who is this young man? How can the Bush family pay so much attention?
But before the big guys could figure out this, something that surprised many people even more happened again, because after meeting with the Bush father and son, the current Texas Governor Greg . Abbott actually took the initiative to find Tang Feng, and he started talking and laughing on the side. And subsequently, even Arnold. Schwarzenegger joined that small circle of conversation.
By Greg. Abbott, the current Texas governor, had to be careful with Don because as a die-hard supporter of the Bush family, Greg Brown. Abbott was given the governorship with the support of the Bush family. And now, the leader of the Bush family, Jeb . Bush began his campaign for the presidency of the United States. Hence Greg. Abbott will have to make many efforts for the Bush family.
As the governor of Texas, Greg has long known that a wealthy man with an astonishing net worth suddenly appeared in his jurisdiction, and this rich man is not only amazingly rich, but the most important thing is that he has a large cash flow in his hands, and a few days ago it was revealed that the rich man had discovered a super gold mine worth four or five billion US dollars in Alaska, which doubled the net worth of this Chinese-American billionaire.
At first, Greg didn't know the background of the Chinese super-rich, but before attending the reception, Greg had met with Jeb Greg. Bush spoke. From Jeb. Bush learned that the super-rich man had quietly joined Jeb. The team behind the Bush campaign. This makes Jeb. Bush's campaign funds immediately had no worries, because Jeb Bush was left with no worries. Bush told Greg very clearly that the super-rich man named Tang Feng once happily agreed that the $10 million campaign fund was only an upfront investment, and if the campaign funds were insufficient in the later stage, it would be much worse. The super-rich will listen
This is no joke, in this kind of thing, this Chinese super-rich man will never joke, so since he said so, it will definitely be realized. Although now Jeb . Bush's campaign has raised more than $300 million. But whether the money will be enough for this presidential campaign is really unknown.
You know, the U.S. presidential campaign has always been a money-burning job, and as time goes by, the closer you get to the current presidential election, the higher the cost. Back in 1860, the Republicans spent only $100,000 to get Abraham to get Abraham . Lincoln became the sixteenth president of the United States, but 100 years later, in 1960, $100,000 was enough for a candidate to appear on a national television network for 30 minutes.
Since the 90s of the 20th century, presidential campaign funds have grown exponentially. In the 1992 election, Democrats raised more than $36.9 million in campaign funds, compared with $51.7 million for Republicans. In 1996, the Democrats raised $123.9 million, the Republicans $138.2 million, and by 2002 the Democrats raised $250 million. Republicans reached $258 million. As for the 2008 presidential election, which is known as the most expensive in history, the Democratic Party and the Republican Party burned a total of $1.324 billion!
Of course, this figure is the total amount spent by all the Democratic and Republican candidates in the election, but if it is spread over each candidate, the cost per person starts at nine figures. When Obama ran for president in 2008, he raised $454 million on his own, not counting the political money the Democrats raised for him. That was eight years ago, and now it's Jeb. How much does it cost Bush to become the president of the United States?
In the United States, everyone knows one sentence - money is the breast milk of politics!
In fact, this sentence is not only common in the United States, but also universal!
And now, a super-rich man who can provide ample breast milk for a presidential candidate at any time is definitely something that every politician has to find a way to tie up. As the governor of Texas, Greg . Abbott is no exception. (To be continued......)
