With Matthew and the Governor's enthusiastic beginning, it was much easier to get to know other people later, and the party was still about identity and closeness, and although it was on the same occasion, the core was difficult to touch - such as Bazel. Sinclair, he's chatting and laughing with the senators, and the others are naturally hard to get into. But he specially stopped talking and raised his glass to An Feng and Joanna, with an obvious closeness attitude.

An Feng continued to get to know those politicians and wealthy businessmen and exchange business cards. Among them is a Chinese-American state legislator named "Liu Yaowei", whom An Feng heard of in San Francisco, who encouraged Chinese who do not care much about politics to pay attention to their votes, so that the government can know that Chinese people are also an important part of influencing elections, and that they can enhance their influence and seek more welfare. Overall a positive character.

At least, he is much better than the dog minions who voted to pass the bill of discrimination against the Chinese, who completely forgot their origins, forgot that they also had yellow skin, and only knew that they did their best to be a dog to please their masters, and betrayed their own kind, which was nothing more than a pet raised by a white-skinned pig.

Because An Feng also has national dignity, he has a good impression of this Chinese parliamentarian, and specially chatted with him a few more words, and the other party obviously values talking to him, after all, in business and politics, they all pay attention to relationships, and An Feng is a figure worth making friends with in his eyes.

Liu Yaowei is just forty years old, he is definitely young and promising, and he is very practical when he speaks: "In California, the number of Chinese has reached 2 million, which is a force that cannot be ignored for local and even state elections, but unfortunately they generally do not care about politics and think that it has nothing to do with them, and often in some political elections, the voter turnout of the Chinese is only about 30%, resulting in the failure of the Chinese to win the power they should have." ”

An Feng nodded with deep feeling: "Indeed." The older generation of Chinese generally do not care much about politics due to their cultural background, probably thinking that they can't fight for officials, and I heard that they don't have the concept of letting politicians curry favor with them and fight for their interests. ”

Liu Yaowei said: "So I have to work hard to publicize and let them realize that they have a lot of votes in their hands." ”

An Feng agreed: "It's best to let those traitors see the power of the votes." ”

Liu Yaowei smiled: "I'll work hard." ”

"I've got your back." An Feng smiled. "Even if I don't have the right to vote."

After chatting with him for a while, An Feng said goodbye.

Under the personal recommendation of Bazel, he met the star candidate of the Republican Party, then Senator Floyd. D. Anderson. A stout white man in his early fifties, he speaks very well, and you can feel the sincerity when you talk to him.

An Feng's first feeling was that this person was very eloquent, almost the type that could speak for three days and three nights without a script. An Feng pays attention to details. Not for anything else, because Bazel said he is one of the two presidential candidates that the Republican Party is focused on, and he is very popular and has a good chance of becoming the next president.

An Feng is interested in him, and once he is elected president in the future, he can show off himself, right?

And Anderson's interest in An Feng comes from the recommendation of the big family. Few young people deserve such attention, and he is passionate about it.

Even if An Feng is not a U.S. citizen. There is no right to vote or to be elected, but it is not important, what is important is the funding of the speech, or the shady private expenses...... Without the support of these family conglomerates, you would not be able to survive even if you were the current president, and you would even be at risk of being shot in the head.

An Feng is interested in political issues. Anderson clearly has his philosophy: "China policy is something that every administration deserves to think about, and presidents in recent years have liked to say harsh things about China during their election campaigns to curry favor with voters, but in reality they want to walk the talk, which will ultimately lead to a lose-lose situation." ”

An Feng said: "You don't hide your attitude. ”

Anderson laughs and says, "It's a practical consideration. In order to maintain its hegemony, the United States has to make many countermeasures, but the nature of its efforts determines that most of its means are based on third-party agents. To tell the truth, in the case of mutual nuclear threats, once a violent conflict breaks out between major powers, it is not a good thing for anyone, not to mention that the economy of the world is a mess for everyone, and if either side falls, it will have a great impact on each other. Therefore, the struggle focuses on the conspiracy of the real and the false, rather than the extreme force. ”

An Feng feels that Anderson has the kind of thinking that plays the Cold War conspiracy, but it doesn't matter much, every president has been ruthless about China, but who can be ruthless to the end? No, it's nothing more than through one or two doglegs, secretly supporting and the like, and playing around to achieve the goal.

An Feng asked: "So you think it is difficult for a great power war to break out?" ”

"Experts say that destroying the planet doesn't have to be about launching a nuclear bomb over an adversary," Anderson said. ”

An Feng smiled, based on the country's point of view, the Americans, especially the leaders, naturally have to be vigilant against their opponents, and there is nothing wrong with this, if they are replaced by China's future leadership team, they will inevitably regard the United States as an opponent who can draw a knife and stab each other at any time. Who of the Big Five doesn't think this way?

Anderson is very good at talking, at least he won't embarrass An Feng, who is Chinese, this should be a quality that politicians have, right? No matter what, the Sinclair family supports him, and he will stand on the same side, An Feng does not have a bad impression of him, and there is no problem in rewarding some money.

After a short walk, I met up with Matthew again.

Matthew asked, "How?" It's not a small gain, right? ”

An Feng nodded: "I have met a lot of friends, do you feel that our political investment is so big?" ”

The word "we" made Matthew very satisfied with his positioning: "You have to choose a person who can represent your own interests, our career has been expanding smoothly in recent years, and this year I met you as a genius." If Anderson is re-elected, we will be much more comfortable in the years to come. ”

An Feng nodded knowingly.

"Come on, we've got a core gathering." Matthew looked in the direction of the stairs on the second floor, "You go up first, the west hall on the second floor, Bazel is presiding." ”

"Okay, we'll see you later." An Feng stretched out his hand to Joanna: "Come on, my lady, let's continue to watch the show." ”

Joanna smiled softly.

They walked up the stairs, and there were several black-clothed bodyguards guarding the corner, but they didn't squint at An Feng's arrival, and they didn't mean to stop them. It seems that they are also VIP.

There were a lot fewer guests in the West Hall, and everyone gathered together and chatted. The content is also more direct, with less hypocritical politeness, and they discuss how such and such a congressman is greedy and fucked, and a certain group wants to stir up trouble this year, who should be used to deal with them next time, and so on.

The graceful and luxurious female companions they brought with them stayed aside, chatting, or tasting wine, and they were all surprised by this scene...... Seeing An Feng coming, Bazel looked at him with a smile on his face. An Feng hurriedly stepped forward, and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

Bazel introduced: "Bruce. Ann, the family's partner this year, a young man with great potential, is the founder of GP. ”

Greetings were sent to him, with Bazel highlighting some of them: "This is Andrew, the chairman of the Western Investment Group; This is Austin, Austin. Brulane, you should have seen him......"

Bazel introduced a lot of people, anyway, they are nothing more than bigwigs with close cooperation, or politicians with bright futures. Either partners or investors, there are all kinds of visitors including big entrepreneurs, bankers, and politicians, who are either rich or expensive, and they are all from small sources.

After exchanging pleasantries, Bazel said briefly to An Feng: "We are discussing political investment and preparing for the coming year. ”

An Feng couldn't say anything in this regard, although he was among them, he was only at the bottom, that is, the weight was too small, but he was invited into this inner circle because of his great potential. When he really stood with these industry bigwigs, he knew what money was and what ability was.

Money is to jointly mobilize tens of billions of dollars to play finance, and ability requires a part of the legislators who represent their interests to propose bills that are beneficial to them.

In order to maintain the advantage, it is also necessary to constantly tap potential partners, capable politicians. Anfeng is the former, and Anderson is the latter.

This time, the theme is political investment, and it is aimed at Republican presidential candidate Anderson. In American democracy, although the president is voted for by the citizens, what about the presidential candidates? It's up to a small group of people — a small group here who are figuring out how to give Anderson an advantage.

An Feng's attention to politics is not very high, listening to it is boring, he made up some content in his brain, he thought that political investment needs to contribute money, but it is not so simple, there are strict standards for the funds raised during the presidential election, it is said that it cannot exceed 2000 US dollars, otherwise it is a bribe.

But that's just what everyone can see, in places you can't see, like the candidate's job, his business investments, members of his family...... There is too much that can be done here, and the consortium does not pay attention to the campaign funds that can be seen in the open, but other interests that are hidden in the shadows.

There are even circuitous routes - such as hiring professionals to collect some evidence against the opponent, some indecent photos, bad words and deeds. If a spy gets his hands on the racist remarks that a candidate has made, it will almost certainly be the end of his political career.

Therefore, political investment is not only focused on the candidates, but can also be reflected in other details. As we all know, the team behind the candidate is not known, and the candidate can get a lot of information that takes a lot of money to get hold through the team behind the scenes.

An Feng was bored and turned his head and asked Matthew beside him: "I heard that the Dish Cooking Party also has a strong rival, what do you think Anderson can have a chance of winning?" ”

Matthew smiled and said, "Half of it depends on providence." (To be continued......)
