Chapter 124 Recommendations
"Mr. Berezovsky, can you tell me now the purpose of inviting me to Moscow?" After entering the room, Zhuang Mingge immediately opened his mouth to ask the godfather-level figure in front of him.
"Don't rush, let's talk about something else first, we still have a lot of time...... By the way, you can rest here tonight, this club is not very famous, but the level of service is second to none in Russia. ”
"But there's a lot more to do at Fiorentina FC......"
Zhuang Mingge wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Berezovsky:
"Hehe, boy Antonio, you are still too young, young people have momentum, and it is indeed a good merit to dare to act, and it is also where those of us who are old are not as good as you, but ......" Berezovsky paused and said word by word, "There are some things that can be solved by vigorous and resolute methods, and they will be solved, and they will be solved." ”
"That'...... All right. When Zhuang Mingge saw the other party say this, he even called himself "Antonio Kid". I had to sit down and chat with Berezovsky.
After about two hours had passed, Abu, who had gone out to the toilet under the pretext of going out to the bathroom, knocked lightly on the door, then returned to the room and said to Berezovsky: "Mr. Boris, now that everyone but us have left this club, Mr. Gusinsky asked me to tell you before leaving, that he would like to have a detailed discussion of Mr. President's campaign strategy tomorrow." ”
"Hmph, I knew that these guys would only take advantage of the law, and they would be useless when they needed their advice." Berezovsky snorted disdainfully and said to Zhuang Mingge.
"Antonio, I heard that when the former Prime Minister of your country, Mr. Silvio Berlusconi, first ran for election, his popular approval rating was not very impressive, right?"
"That's right." Zhuang Mingge recalled it and said affirmatively.
"So Antonio, can you recall Mr. Berlusconi's strategy for running for Prime Minister of Italy at that time?" After chatting for a long time before, the sense of distance between the two sides was no longer very obvious, and Berezovsky, who was talking at this time, finally inadvertently threw out the theme of this conversation.
Zhuang Mingge, who was not slow to react, shook his head lightly and replied: "That's different, although Berlusconi later reversed the situation and was successfully elected, his successful election experience is almost impossible to replicate, because the situation here in Russia is much worse than in Italy." ”
"Is it because of the difference in approval ratings? I remember that in the first six months of the election, Berlusconi's popular support had risen to a terrifying 70 percent, and I was right, Antonio? ”
"Yes, at that time, Berlusconi was the new prime minister of Italy, which can be said to be expected...... However, Mr. Berezovsky, there seems to be no comparison between the situation in the elections in Italy and Russia...... I've heard Abu say before that Mr. Yeltsin's popular approval rating seems to be a bit low. Zhuang Mingge thought to himself, people who care about politics are different from himself, and a lot of specific data, this Russian oligarch obviously knows a lot more than he knows.
"It's not a little low, it's very low! In less than a year, Yeltsin's approval rating is less than 3 percent, which worries us supporters. Berezovsky spoke of Yeltsin's extremely bad election situation.
Yeltsin's popular support was less than three percent? Even the most inexperienced in mathematics can calculate how insurmountable the gap exists between the pitiful 3 percent and the 51 percent who can be elected president of Russia in just a few months!
me, God, you're not playing with me, are you? Zhuang Mingge believes that Berezovsky has no need to adulterate such figures.
At this time, Zhuang Mingge could only sigh that his memory did not contain too many other things except football, he only knew that the Russian presidential election in a few months was extremely fiercely competitive, but he could not imagine that Yeltsin, the current president of Russia, would be so bad in his current election situation.
Although he is not interested in politics, Zhuang Mingge, who often reads newspapers, still knows some basic attitudes of the West towards the Russian election.
It is no wonder that lately Western commentators have been paying less and less attention to Yeltsin, while the attention and positive coverage of another presidential candidate, Zhirnowski, has indeed increased.
It's a real society.
"Antonio, can you imagine that Weishenme Berlusconi can get the support of so many domestic voters?" This is Berezovsky's purpose, in this era when the Internet is not very developed, he in Russia cannot know the details of those election campaigns by relying on media reports alone, and naturally he cannot get any ideas from them.
And a person like Zhuang Mingge, who has some relationship with the Berlusconi family (referring to Zhuang Mingge's identity as "Tai, Zi, Party, Party, and Leader"), may be able to tell himself some unknown insiders.
"Well, this question, I think, in addition to the propaganda policy, is more important, Mr. Berlusconi will give the voters the impression of being close to the people."
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"Well, then we have to talk about football, his status as the president of AC Milan makes Italians who regard football as the first sport feel very affectionate, and has won him countless votes!"
Italy is a country with a very good level of football, and it is also a modern country that uses football elements as a cultural symbol and spiritual totem to a large extent (similar to Spain, Portugal and other "Latinized" European countries). There's even a joke that describes Italy's "what Italy can't do well except art and football".
This also reflects the status of football in Italy in another way, and also makes the stars have a huge appeal among the Italian people.
Zhuang Mingge, who did some thinking, recalled Lao Bei's miraculous election as Italian prime minister a year ago, and the reason why he could create such a miracle was that the "support" of many Italian stars was absolutely indispensable.
For example, the captain of Inter Milan, Bergomi, said that "he (Lao Bei) is a very wise leader", which directly brought a lot of votes.
Not to mention the Italian media's interview with Milan captain Baresi, who only cautiously said "He is a very good club owner, and I believe he will also be an excellent Italian prime minister", which is said to have caused Lao Bei's public approval rating to soar in a short period of time.
Zhuang Mingge, who saw similar news in the article before, felt that such a thing was incredible. But since the crossing, after experiencing the Italians' enthusiasm for football, they don't dare to underestimate this almost perverted liliang.
Perhaps many Italians who were not interested in the prime minister's election at the beginning would have such a thought: What an honest player Baresi is, it is rare for him to help others pull a vote, if we don't support it, won't we become pseudo-fans! As a result, Lao Bei relied on football to successfully be elected prime minister of Italy.
In Zhuang Mingge's view, Berezovsky also wanted Yeltsin to copy Lao Bei's road to success, after all, putting aside purely political things, most people will always subconsciously want to infinitely "copy" the successful experience.
"So, what exactly should we do?"
"Mr. Berezovsky, I think you can ...... like this"

PS2: Bad state leads to procrastination, and it seems that the cold has evolved into a low-grade fever, so we have to go and rest......
