Unfortunately, neither Butler nor Calder received any news of the mastermind behind the scenes.

The person who introduced the business to Butler was an intermediary, commonly known as a professional broker, who was usually very careful and troublesome to find out, and who did not necessarily know the true identity of the employer.

It's not that it can't be translated, it's just that the time and energy spent will increase greatly, and Li Jie is not prepared to be so troublesome. If the results are announced, there will definitely be many people who want to take shortcuts. But now at this stage? How many people would really care about Corona, which has never published the content of its research, and would be willing to pay such a large price to get it?

Li Jie already knows how much, as long as he continues to be careful about the security work, I believe that with March and Congreve in charge, it is almost impossible for the other party to succeed.

He now has something more important to do – the current Democratic presidential nominee, Sheila? Clint's fundraising dinner, Li Jie has been very concerned about the seeded player he bet on, after all, it is related to many future plans.

Although every presidential election, public opinion has set off a dispute over whether the US election is money politics, but this has never had the slightest impact on the election. With regard to campaign money and votes, this kind of politically charged party has long been a fixed content in the United States, and every state, city, district, large and small officials, as well as the election of representatives and senators, no one can do without this kind of political gathering.

The presidential election, fundraising, the inauguration of the president, and the president's thank-you will of course be the most solemn political banquet.

The more critical the election campaign became. The more candidates need to raise money for their campaigns. For the sake of broader social mobilization, Sheila and Jeff? Both sides of the Booth side will have to fight a big advertising war, especially in swing states, and there will be a fierce battle for voters in the middle. More than 60 percent of the money they raise will be spent on the media (the vast majority of which is used to discredit their opponents), and the rest will be used primarily for administrative and transactional support, including hiring campaign advisers, holding various campaigns, and traveling to various places.

Not all fundraisers Sheila herself attends. She's going to be too busy that way. A large part of them are hosted by her political advisers, and even her supporters have volunteered to organize them for her, which are generally very influential celebrities.

Sheila will be present in person for today's fundraising dinner, while the 200 guests attending the dinner will each pay $40,000 for admission. Meanwhile, the fee for a photo with Sheila is $10,000 — which, to be honest, makes Mr. Li feel a little weird. No matter how much the group photo fee sounds, it is more like the work of an amusement park mascot, which shows that the status of these politicians in the United States is really a bit embarrassing. Although today's dinner will raise at least more than $10 million for Sheila's team.

The dinner is held in the lobby of the Alice Island History Museum, where only formal dinners above the national level can be held, otherwise it will not cost too much. It can also be seen that Sheila's campaign momentum. Because it is a temporary restaurant, everything that is set for the dinner, from cups, plates, knives and forks, to table and chair arrangements, is all transported from Manhattan Island by boat as needed, and the kitchen, chef, drinks, and ingredients are all specially tailored for this event, so the cost of catering is more than $1,000 per seat, anyway, the wool comes from the sheep.

The top of the hall is decorated with an azure canopy. Dotted with bright stars, it is very elegant and unique. The table is not only set with flowers and wine. Knives, forks, plates, napkins, and candlelit candles are meticulously arranged in a meticulous and neat manner, echoing the stars at the top of the ballroom, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere.

However, the food that is carefully prepared is obviously a bit wasteful, and people who can participate in banquets of this level often don't care too much about the appetite for tongues. And on an occasion like today. It doesn't matter what you eat, it's socializing and socializing. Well-dressed gentlemen and ladies held red wine glasses reservedly. Shuttle from seat to seat and introduce yourself, greet each other, or introduce friends. Congratulate each other, business cooperation and business opportunities appear inadvertently.

Sheila's team placed a very good seat for Li Jie, right next to the main table, and he was joined by former Symantec CEO John Brown. John W. Thompson and his wife, Sandra R. CEO Dick Brown? Costello (Dick?Lo), Kleiner? John Doerr, partner at Perkins Kleiners & Booters, and Larry Doerr, CEO of Google? Page (?edward?page), the rest of the few unrecognized, but probably not a small person. His next table was the K-CEO Mark ? Mark Zuckerberg, Cisco CEO John Chambers, Oracle CEO Larry? Ellison (larry?) and others.

Doesn't it feel like a coincidence? They are all at the helm of some well-known network and technology companies. Not surprising to this, Sheila has worked hard to portray herself as tech-friendly since announcing her candidacy, recently giving an interview to Zuckerberg at Facebook headquarters, holding a citizens' rally and even hiring Stephanie, a former executive at search engine company Google? Hanno takes on the role of chief technology officer, overseeing the technology and IT aspects of the campaign.

She has more than 5 million followers on her account, and she describes herself as "a wife, a mother, a champion for women's and children's rights, a U.S. senator, a secretary of state, a dog owner, a hairstylist, a fan of pants suits, a woman who destroys a glass ceiling, and a pending ......" — an apparent new campaign image she has carefully crafted for herself, implying a campaign strategy.

Although Li Jie is worth a lot of money, his influence and wealth are still much inferior to those people here. He knew very well that the reason why he was placed in this position was entirely because of the huge amount of political donations that played a role. For these people at the helm, their funding behavior is long-term and fixed, and a lot of foundation has been laid, and there is no hurry. Li Jie is different, as a latecomer, he will inevitably spend more money and energy to win Sheila's attention and attention. For Sheila now, the influence of tech companies is important, but it is still not as direct and thirst-quenching as political donations, and the massive amount of cash that Li Jie is willing to provide is what she needs most. Therefore, the arrangement of the position is actually the other party's way of showing his attitude as a kind of response to Li Jie's generosity. (To be continued)
