Chapter 125 Campaign Fund
Chapter 125 Gore # Lopez Old Donovan continued: "Not only that, but some people in the town of Jerisai also used to do it when United Ranch delivered the goods before, but fortunately, there were a lot of people in our escort of the goods! Several of them are serious, and Sheriff Simon is also ready to unite several towns and issue them wanted warrants! ”。
Yin Hang nodded and asked, "Recently, have they made any moves?" ”。
Old Donovan raised his eyebrows and said, "I don't know about this, but Douglas and Simon should know the specific things in detail." ”
A few people were talking about this, and there was a knock on the door, and Michael pressed a few people, stood up first, and said, "I'll open the door." ”
Everyone sat down and didn't move, and watched Michael walk to the door, and when they heard a "squeak", they opened the door and saw that there were three people standing outside.
Michael looked over, and there was an old man in his sixties in a beige suit standing in the middle, it was Sheriff Simon, with a revolver hanging from his waist; On the right, a young man in his thirties, whom he had seen, was none other than Douglas.
And a person on the right, grinning with a mouth, showing a mouthful of big rotten teeth, raised his jaw slightly, and flicked the police badge on his left chest with his hand, and when he saw Michael looking at him, he immediately said in a voice like a broken gong: "We heard that Eastwood is back, hahahaha!" So come and see him, is he in there? Michael? ”。
Yin Hang sat at this angle in the living room, and he could only see Douglas on the left, but as soon as he heard the voice at this time, he knew that it must be Marko, the deputy sheriff who was unusually pretending to be B, was here. However, Yin Hang's impression of him is not very bad! Although this person loves face very much, and he is greedy for money, on the whole, he is still a sheriff who can make do with passing.
Michael smiled and nodded, listened to Donovan behind him, and said, "Please come in"! So he immediately let a few people inside.
Yin Hang got up and welcomed the people in, and after they were seated again, Simon took off his hat, grabbed it in his hand, and said, "Clint, we heard that you just came back, so let's take a look." ”
Yin Hang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, thank you very much." ”
Marco, laughing next to him, interjected, "Hey! How about going out for a lap and receiving the goods? ”。
"Not bad!" Yin Hang also smiled and said, "Before I came back, things were almost done. ”
Douglas said, "Boss, are you going to take a look at the new transportation company tomorrow?" ”。
"Okay"! Yin Hang said, "I'll go and see it tomorrow morning." ”
Simon still played with his cowboy hat and said, "It's good that things are going well in Berkeley, how long can I stay when I come back this time?" ”。
Yin Hang thought for a while and said, "After dealing with the affairs of Yeris, I will take a few people to San Bernardino, and I still owe them more than 100,000 dollars!" ”。
"More than 100,000 yuan?"; Marco, who was about to drink next to him, repeated in surprise and said, "My God? Are you going to gamble? ”。
Yin Hang explained with a smile: "No"; Pointing to the revolver on Marco's waist, he continued: "I have invested forty percent of the shares of the Colt Company, and now they are still short of hundreds of thousands, and when I get to San Bernardino, I will directly set up a bank account for them." ”
Marco stopped drinking, put the cup on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "My God, you are really rich now, tsk! Tell us about your time in Berkeley. I guess Sheriff Simon: They'd love to hear about it too. ”
A few people next to him really wanted to know what was going on in Berkeley, so they all looked at Yin Hang, who nodded and said, "Okay!" …… Well, when Dale and I got there, we learned that there were several armed groups in the area......"
Yin Hang began to tell them about what happened after he and the others arrived in Berkeley City, of course, there are some things that can be said and some things that cannot be said! And the whole thing Yin Hang told very concisely, without too much explanation.
When he finished speaking, Simon nodded and said, "Yes! That's fine! ”。
Marco laughed twice and said, "That's right! I love the section where the railroad was built. ”
As they spoke, a few people talked about the current situation in Locke Town.
Yin Hang said: "I just heard that there are some people in Yerisai who want to us, who are these people?" ”。
Douglas participated in the whole process, so on the side, he directly opened his mouth to answer for Yin Hang, and said: "Black Jack's people, at first, I took people to negotiate with him to jointly engage in a large ranch, but he asked for too much money, and he spoke very rudely. ”。
Douglas said this, looked at Yin Hang and continued, "Before, we were transporting livestock to San Francisco and Costa Mesa!" On both occasions, he sent people to harass him, but our escorts outnumbered him, so he didn't suffer, but wounded four of Blackjack's people again, Sheriff Simon has united several towns and wanted several people who behaved very badly, so Blackjack threatened to duel with Sheriff Simon! ”。
Yin Hang looked at Simon, who shrugged his shoulders and said, "He hasn't challenged the duel yet." ”
Yin Hang said: "I'm really sorry, let you get involved, I will deal with him." ”
"Oh"? Marco on the side took a sip of wine and interjected, "What are you going to do with him?" ”。
Yin Hang shook his head and said, "I don't know yet, but I plan to get Blackjack and go to San Bernardino again!" ”。
Douglas said: "The meat processing plant in Redwood City is also asking us to deliver goods!" However, the situation in that city did not seem to be good, and after Ilsa had annexed the factories there, he sent back a telegram, which I thought was similar to the Berkeley you had mentioned, or a little more chaotic. ”
Yin Hang nodded and said, "People's lives always have to be lived, it's okay, after I go to San Bernardino, I will deal with the affairs of Redwood City." You can deliver the goods normally, send more people, and send them the weapons. ”
Speaking of this, he turned his head to Simon and said, "Sheriff, I have to trouble you to issue a certificate." ”
What is the proof that Yin Hang said? In fact, in the western era of the United States, although there were many armed gangs and many people had guns, if these people got together and there were many of them, the political axe would be jealous!
The political axe will think that some people are raising a private army, although the law enforcement rate in the west is low at this time, or it cannot be effectively enforced at all, but Yin Hang thinks that if he has the relationship with Sheriff Simon and does not use it, isn't that sick! Besides, it's no hassle! It's just a proof of opening, it's too easy for Sheriff Simon!
It's just like the way he does things, doing everything he can do! Although the armed forces of many people have gathered, there is nothing that can be done about the current political axe itself, but since there is a way to solve this matter, why not do it! If you don't, you'll be foolish!
Simon nodded and said, "Okay!" Douglas, you can just go to me when the time comes. A matter of a few minutes, if I'm not there, it's the same with going directly to Marko! ”。
"That's right!" Marco said, "I'll do it for you when Sheriff Simon is away." ”
Yin Hang heard Marco say this, and smiled at Simon and Marko: "Then thank you two sheriffs!" ”。
Yin Hang and the others had just come back today, and it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, so everyone no longer talked about work, just chatted about some other topics, and in the evening, Donovan asked the men from the ranch to cook a meal for everyone, leaving these people to eat at home.
Donovan stopped letting Mona work since she became pregnant, and although Mona felt good about herself and didn't feel any inconvenience at all, her father insisted and agreed.
In general, the guys at this ranch cooked well, and everyone ate very happily.
And according to Yin Hang and the others, it was only said that after Mike came out of Yin Hang, he took the train the next morning and rushed to Sacramento.
Before he came back, Governor Freeman told him to come back as soon as he was done! Because this matter was so important to Freeman, he wanted to know the outcome as soon as possible.
After more than three days and nearly four days on the train, Mike went straight back to Sacramento, where Governor Freeman lived.
Now Mike, who has become Governor Freeman's right hand and closest confidant, has entered Freeman's house directly.
As soon as Freeman saw that he was back, he immediately sat him down and asked, "How is it?" Mike, what did Eastwood say? ”。
Mike sorted out his thoughts and said slowly: "I found him, he seems to be busy in Berkeley, but I still met him that night, and after talking to him about this matter, I didn't get a clear answer!" ”。
Freeman frowned, puzzled, "What's going on?" ”。
Mike said: "He only said that Gore # Lopez will not have an accident, but he takes this matter very seriously, and said that he will come to Sacramento as soon as possible to meet you!" ”。
After hearing this, Freeman was not in a hurry, but fell silent, thinking slowly, and the Mike on the other side did not bother him!
He lit his pipe, smoked it, and waited until he was done with it, when Freeman knocked his pipe and said, "Yes! Maybe we were in too much of a hurry, and I thought that if we just got rid of Gore, the matter would be over, but I didn't think about the next consequences. ”
Mike said, "Yes! After I told Mr. Eastwood about it, he didn't say anything very explicitly, but I think he meant that the whole thing needed to be understood before the next thing could be decided. ”
Freeman nodded and said, "Yes! Then so be it, you will send a telegram to Mr. Eastwood tomorrow,......" At this point, Freeman fell silent again, paused for a while, and then said: "Forget it, it's better not to send it first, it's not good to let him misunderstand again!" ”。
Mike said, "Why don't I go to Citibank?" ”。
Freeman knows what he means, Sacramento's current Citibank, is Yin Hang's mouthpiece! So go there and talk about the situation, maybe a little bit better.
However, he also rejected Mike's proposal, saying, "Forget it, we just need to wait quietly." He'll know we're just thinking things simpler! It's not that disrespect him! ”。
Mike said, "Okay then! How's Gore's talk? ”。
As soon as Freeman heard Gore's name, although he didn't react on the surface, he was very unhappy in his heart, and said: "It's still like that, I heard that he got 100,000 yuan in campaign funds, and he has been very proud recently!" ”。
"I'll keep an eye on him, and when Mr. Eastwood comes, I think we'll be fully funded." ”
Freeman nodded and said, "Yes! By the way, what about the rest? ”。
"Mr. Eastwood, you have agreed." "He said he would say hello to Citibank and ask him to contribute; And in the name you invited, register a series of companies in Sacramento, such as construction companies, hospitality companies, transportation companies, oil companies, etc......"
Freeman nodded secretly, and said to himself, "It doesn't look like I've let him down because I'm in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to this." ”
Just listen to Mike continue: "After these companies are established, they can increase the employment rate a lot! And is during your tenure. ”
"In this way, I am short of some funds for running for re-election, if I hadn't thought about things simply, then I would have been able to get all the support now, it seems that it is my own fault! I'm in a hurry! Freeman thought of this and said, "Mike! You don't have to do anything but get people to pay attention to Gore's movements! We can only wait now! ”。
"Okay;"! Mike said, "Any other commands?" ”。
Freeman said, "It's gone! Thank you Mike! ”。
"You're welcome, Your Excellency," Mike said.
Gore # Lopez on the other side is very proud now, yes! He is just a theater owner, but with the connections he has accumulated in the past, he has brought in a campaign fund of up to 100,000 yuan, and what about his opponent? I'm afraid it's only half of myself now. Moreover, there are several state legislators who secretly support themselves, and the possibility of becoming governor at the beginning of the general election is still very great.
Thinking of this, Gore couldn't help but smile and said to the person sitting across from him, "How is it?" Hausen. Our Beloved Governor, what's been happening lately? ”。
On the opposite side was a man in his fifties, Hausen! It was this hausen who played a big role in bringing in the huge sum of money, so Gore trusted him very much.
"Lately, he hasn't done anything about his surname, and he's even gone out to speak to the people a lot less," Hausen said. ”。
Gore wondered: "He wants to give up re-election?" ”。
Hausen shook his head and said, "No! He is just in his fifties, and he should not give up the chance to be re-elected! ”。
Gore said: "Is that what he did secretly, and our people have something to pay off?" ”。
"Yes," said Howson, "our men came back and said that Freeman's assistant, Mike, had recently returned from Berkeley!" ”
"Berkeley?" Howson thought about it carefully, and couldn't think of any kind of powerful people in Berkeley, and said, "That's all?" ”
"That's all!" Hausen said.
Gore sat up from the couch and walked up and down the hall of his home, thinking to himself, "Berkeley, Berkeley...... There are really no powerful people in Berkeley, as far as I know, only Louis's son Evan opened a railroad company somewhere, but Louis has been in Sacramento recently, and he hasn't gone anywhere else, is he going to pull campaign funds? ”。
When Gore thought of this, he began to think about the matter of State Councilor Louis, but no matter what he thought, Mike went to Berkeley and had nothing to do with Louis, because as we all know, Governor Freeman and Louis had a good relationship, and if you want to get Louis's support, what can it have to do with Mike going to Berkeley! Mao has nothing to do with it!
Seeing that Gore had been gone for a long time, without the slightest intention of stopping, Howson interjected: "We just need to send someone to keep an eye on the governor's movements!" There are other things that we need to do. ”
After this reminder from Hausen, Gordon stepped out of the tip of the horns and sat back in his chair!
Yes, I can't think of anything by myself now, because the information that comes back now is just a little bit, what can be analyzed? So it's better to take care of what you have to do, for example, how to improve your image in the public!
He lit a cigarette and said, "Yes! Hausen, do I have a talk at the University of California tomorrow? ”。
"Yes," Howson said, "there are teachers and students who are potential supporters, and there are quite a few professors who have the right to vote!" You have to be prepared. ”
Hehe! Gore smiled: "I have been prepared for this" After that, he took out a speech from below, put it on the table, and said, "Look! How about this? ”。
Hausen picked up the manuscript from the table, put it in front of his eyes and began to look at it.
Kindness!! Not bad! No! Very good! Although it only mentions some of Gore's thoughts on California's economic construction, and employment issues, as well as the enforcement of the law!
Although there is no mention of the current Governor Freeman, the above examples and some problems to be solved are very sharp and to the point! Freeman is not mentioned, but who is this talking about?
Hausen read the speech carefully, then handed it back and praised: "Excellent! It has some good advice, and it says something about California, and Freeman must be sick to death! ”
