There is an election battle going on right now, and Russell, a young politician recommended by his old friend and Donkey Party whip Underwood, is running for state representatives in the district of Bath & Co., and the election is about to reach the voting stage, and the votes will be opened at the end of November, and he will officially take office next year.

The financiers behind his elephant rivals are Wall Street investor Edward, as well as several builders who worked with him on the original Barn Chemical real estate project.

"When I came over, I saw that many single-family houses were almost completed."

Claire, dressed in white haute couture, frowned and walked into the office building of Barn Company and asked Eli, who came to pick her up, "It's hard for Russell to win even if he wins this year, what will happen when all the residents move in two years?" ”

Eli quipped, "Your husband will arrange it." ”

"I'm skeptical." Claire doesn't quite agree, "Men are always careless. ”

The two of them, with the help of the general manager of Barn, made their way through the curfew and came to the top floor, "Hi, Claire. Song Ya waited there, "Thank you for taking the time to help Russell stand on the platform." ”

"How's the election?" Claire asked.

Song Ya smiled bitterly: "It's very stuck, so I called Eli to be his temporary campaign manager." ”

Claire and Eli have known each other for a long time, "Let me talk to APLUS alone." ”

"Okay, I'm next door, if anything......" The little Jew smiled and withdrew.

"APLUS, the consequences of Russell's failure to be elected are bad for you." She waited for Eli to close the door and whispered.

"Yes, he has to be elected, or the candidate of the elephant party will help Edward and they target my chemical plant." Song Ya said with a smile: "Commercial real estate developers don't like the chemical plant too close to their project, so my workers and their families will vote for Russell, and they also like this young man." Don't worry, Mr. Underwood, I'll take care of the person. ”

"That's good." Claire's face didn't stretch, "But after two years, ......"

"It's hard to say in two years, and after the proportion of middle-class residents in the constituency increases, it will be difficult for us to maintain this model." Song Ya is also very calm.

He has made up some relevant knowledge in the past two days, and politicians are the most unreliable group, especially low-level politicians like state representatives. Now that the workers and their families are the vote base, Russell will definitely be on the side of the workers, and in two years the population of middle-class residents will come up, and Russell's inclination will not necessarily be there. And this kind of small election doesn't need much financial aid, so maybe one day he will be co-opted by other financiers and turn his head against himself.

In addition, the rising momentum of today's fluorescent agent factory is very strong, and the contradiction between the workers and their own business owners is not obvious, and when two years later, maybe the two sides will stand on opposite sides, and Russell will have to face the choice of choosing the owner or the vote base, which is another hidden danger.

Claire's husband is the whip of the Donkey Party, and of course she knows the way to this, "Underwood and I want you to take care of Russell and keep him under control at the same time. He was a young man who sometimes couldn't control his lower body and liked to drink. ”

"He's not a drinker, he's an alcoholic......"

Song Ya said with a smile: "Of course, he is not married, and mingling with the workers in the bar is also a good means of canvassing, and there will be no major problems for the time being." ”

Claire nodded, "How's this factory of yours doing?" ”

"It's going to make money this year." Song Ya replied.

This year, the production line here is running at almost full capacity, and the price of fluorescent agent products has been raised several times, and by the end of the year, it will create a gross profit of about 18 million, of course, he will not disclose the specific figure to the other party.

"That's not bad."

Claire pulled out a cassette of tapes from her bag, "By the way, look at this." ”

Song Ya took it and put it in the video recorder, and inside was a concert from the book, "Xicheng Hideki? "He knows the male singer on the stage, who is very popular over there, and it is a long red, debuted in the seventies, and now he should be almost forty years old.

"Under the stands." Claire reminded.

The audience in the audience held up glow sticks, very neatly, divided into pieces by color, like a sea of colorful flowers under the night sky, undulating with the wind as they waved.

"Have you researched it?" Claire asked.

"The general manager of Bath has mentioned ...... to me several times"

Song Ya felt that the other party was actually here for this, "At the end of last year, the patent for glow sticks expired, and now anyone can produce it, and this kind of closed packaging, the things inside are low toxicity and have no light matter, so the competition is very fierce." I asked them to push it a few times experimentally during Fergie's commercial performance.,The live audience here in the United States is very unimpressed.,They advocate personality expression more than the book.,Don't like this kind of thing that turns yourself into a background board.,They even prefer lighters.。 ”

"There's always going to be a market, right? The plate of the glow stick is much larger. Claire asked: "Your factory can't always bet all on rave nights in nightclubs, you are a person in the entertainment industry, and you know better than me that pop is easy to suddenly get out of fashion......"

"But I only have one factory, and the surrounding area can't afford to expand production......"

Song Ya guessed the broker's true purpose, "You know the market over there, it's difficult for our big chemical giants to compete." ”

"Talk to this person." Claire handed over a business card.

Song Ya took it, and when she saw the TDCC logo above, she knew that she was helping Dow Chemical, a company headquartered in Michigan, next door to Illinois, not far away, and sighed slightly, "I will." ”

"You seem to be perfunctory?" Claire has always been strong.

"There are many big chemical companies that have tried to contact me, in addition to Dow, there are also DuPont, Toray ...... of the book" Song Ya took the business card in his hand and gestured to him, "I don't have any big ambitions, Claire, I'm just a nineteen-year-old singer, and I ...... four courses in one season."

"The glowstick industry is now also linked to the entertainment industry." Claire looked at the TV screen, "You can't sell Toray, your company is still serving the military of the United States, and you don't have many options." And I wouldn't treat you like a nineteen-year-old college student for real. ”

"I'll contact him." Song Ya reiterated once, then pulled the subject away, "How is Mr. Underwood doing in Washington?" I read the news and he has a lot of credit for the promotion of the Child Protection Act, right? ”

"Yes, but he doesn't have as much credit as MJ, and the scandal of the King of Pop led to the passage of this bill by Congress without any decent resistance."

Claire curled the corners of her mouth, "The Grand Commander is overjoyed to be able to smoothly promote a federal bill of this level in his first year in office, which will greatly help his governing prestige." ”

Song Ya couldn't help but feel sorry for MJ for a while, and he finally realized that at least before the bill was officially signed into effect by the Grand Commander, MJ definitely didn't want to get out of this case.

"I noticed that your donations this year seem to have been distributed by a different entity?" Claire brings the conversation back to her concerns.

"Yes, I promised to donate all of the proceeds from Where Is The Love, so the proceeds will be automatically allocated to a dedicated regulated account and then distributed." Song Ya replied.

“Where Is The Love？ That's a lot of money, right? Claire asked.

"I used a bit of rhetoric, and what I actually donated was my personal income from that song, so it would be much less than the outside world recognized." Song Ya didn't hide it either, saving her from being misunderstood and giving less to her husband and wife.

"Very clever thing to do."

Claire didn't have a sense of justice, and she smiled and exclaimed, "Then I'm going to Russell's campaign office." Do you remember to talk to him......" she gestured to the business card in Song Ya's hand.

"Wait, Claire." Song Ya stopped her, "I heard that Peter will be released from prison soon?" ”

"Peter Flock?"

"Yes."

"Uh-huh......," Claire hesitated, "what do you ask him for?" ”

"Just ask. You know, the current state attorney has been targeting people who used to support Peter, and I don't want to be like MJ who someday had some inexplicable bad luck. "Ming people don't say secret words, Song Ya is very direct.

"If the high crime rate continues, there is a good chance that Peter will come back."

Claire was just as direct, "After this turmoil, everyone recognized him as a gentleman who could keep secrets. ”

Gentleman......

It seems that Peter's bad luck has won the praise of some people in the political arena here, including the Chicago-based party whip couple, "That's good, I'm fine." Song Ya said.
