Chapter 1730: Electric Vehicles
Han Xuan met for the first time with Mr. Gordon Byron, the leader of the Donkey Party, an old man who was usually responsible for maintaining the internal discipline of the Donkey Party and had a great say in the Diet.
When President Kling tried to rise to power in the party, a large part of the reason for his success came from the help of this old man, running for president is never a one-person business, it requires the help of a whole team, and every staff member who has the ability to be responsible for the planning of the presidential campaign has a huge force behind it.
Old Mr. Byron smiled when he saw him, and when he was far away, he stretched out his hand, and came to him, and said:
"The Four Towers of Snow Mountain are really spectacular, and to be honest, I was a little scared to see them through that large factory, and I just happened to be in San Francisco for a conference, so I decided to come and meet you at the last minute, sorry to disturb you.
I remember the first time I saw you on TV, you were a little tall, and in just a few years you built such a business empire, and your achievements will not be surpassed by anyone else, even if it is another five hundred years.
Our Mr. President always likes to put your name on his lips, and when he goes abroad to meet with other leaders, he keeps telling them that you have turned the idea of using the Internet to change human society into reality. ”
is clearly patting on the back, with a smile on his face, and a humorous tone, which makes Han Xuan feel very comfortable, but he knows that it is not too much to have a hundred eyes when dealing with this kind of person, and if he smiles in front of him, he may be stabbed in the back, he has thought since he was a child that the higher the level, the more he hides the knife in his smile.
But Han Xuan doesn't have to worry, with his family's current power, the party of a party is only a part of the stutter, even if he gives old Byron a few guts, he doesn't dare to do anything to himself, don't look at him usually like an idler who eats and waits for death, in fact, his strength has always been there, and it is constantly increasing.
The so-called "just came to San Francisco", Han Xuan just took it as a joke, and he could guess without investigation, this guy naturally came specifically for Time Warner Group, and when he investigated the background of this company two days ago, Byron's name appeared in the information, and he was very close to Mr. Case, the current chairman of the board of directors of Time Warner Group.
This time I should be acting as a lobbyist, and I am not worried that Byron will be desperate to work for Time Warner Group, dealing with these people, as long as I always remember to take the word "profit" as the starting point, everything is easy to talk about.
Byron was polite, Han Xuan stretched out his hand to shake him, and said with a smile: "Very welcome, if it weren't for your party's vigorous advocacy of the development of the information superhighway plan, my companies would not have developed so fast, thanks to you."
What to drink, tea or coffee? It's best to drink coffee at this time, to keep your spirits high, the Internet industry has fallen miserably in recent days, I can't relax, take a dozing effort, it's likely that hundreds of millions of dollars will be gone.
Please sit down, the president is about to retire, a new presidential election is coming, who will he support this time, Vice President Gore?
In my opinion, he has a good chance of winning the presidency, and he went to New York in 1997 to see me, and he has a good personality and a high prestige among the people......"
When the elder Byron heard this, his expression suddenly became unnatural, Vice President Albert Gore is indeed a powerful candidate for the next president of the United States within the party, and he is an important figure in Byron's lineage, otherwise he would not have been promoted to his right-hand man by President Klin.
If it was usual, he would have laughed when he heard Han Xuan mention the next presidential campaign, but in this case, when he talks about Gore, the deep meaning becomes intriguing.
The elder Byron believes in his heart that this is Han Xuan sending a friendly signal to himself, using his support for Gore's election to promote the successful acquisition of Time Warner Group, indicating that the acquisition will not affect the campaign.
In fact, Han Xuan really thinks that if they can't make the donkey party less hostile, they are likely to let other consortia use funds to snatch shares from the wavering shareholders in order to prevent themselves from acquiring Time Warner Group.
It's not impossible, the big companies that are hot on Time Warner Group are not one or two, but this time the incident happened suddenly, and before they could react, Han Xuan had already obtained a large amount of shares in Time Warner Group......
In his last life, Han Xuan first understood the operation process of the US official system because he watched the TV series "House of Cards", and the reason why it was able to become popular in the United States was because it exposed the shady scenes of the United States to the bone, and put the small tricks between politics and business in front of him.
It's not what kind of circle you can become, but what kind of person you can become, what kind of circle you can enter, in this life, Han Xuan has been exposed to the United States, and he has already understood the particularity of this country, and there is actually only one sentence to sum it up: If you want to get something, you must give it first.
Regarding the presidential election, Han Xuan has always suspected that the old man hopes that he will also join in, and become the president of the United States in the next year, in fact, even if he becomes the president of the United States, he will not be able to bring more benefits to himself, which is probably related to the obsession of the old man Han, he deeply experienced the dark age of Chinese discrimination in the United States when he was a child, and knows how important it is to have power and money more than anyone else.
It is not so much to run for president, but to get the power and status that the president represents, to prove one's ability, and thus to get psychological satisfaction.
In this regard, Han Xuan felt that it didn't matter, maybe one day he would be bored enough to find something to do, the president was slightly better, it was the only position that suited his identity and could also interest him, anyway, it was still early to be able to campaign, so he didn't have to think about anything for the time being.
The president only stepped down in 2001, and his abdication is already an inevitable result, and now the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party have begun to prepare for next year's general election, and politicians with campaign intentions have emerged one after another, and Trump has also joined in the fun, running for the Republican Party in November.
The presidential election in the United States takes more than a year from the time of winning the party's nomination to the final announcement of the election results, and with the addition of preliminary preparations, some people have been dormant for 20 or 30 years to manage their contacts, just to be able to finally become president, which can be said to be the longest job search process in the world.
Recently, the presidential candidates have been running around giving speeches and making various promises to the voters, and if they do not have good physical strength and speech ability, it is really unbearable, and all forces have moved, and even Han Xuan has received many invitations from candidates, but he has rejected them all.
Now it's just the audition stage, I believe that the old man already has a potential goal, ready to send charcoal in the snow, such as the recent high demand for Texas Governor Xiaobu, he is weaker than Vice President Gore in all aspects, it is a potential stock that can be invested, with the help of his father, former President Lao Bu, it is basically no problem to win the general votes in several southern states.
In order to prevent accidents, Han Xuan believes that it is also necessary to have a good relationship with Vice President Gore, and there is no need to publicly express who he supports, no matter who wants to come to power, he can't get around his own forces, as long as he waits for them to come to the door.
Unlike residents of other countries, Americans are accustomed to elections and are not enthusiastic, and while the president is the only nationally elected official, the average person is more concerned about local elections.
Since the seventies, the turnout in presidential elections has been less than half of the total, and there is not much difference between the two candidates' policy positions, and who is in office is not too much different, so they are too lazy to vote, and even the weather can affect the turnout, mainly depending on who people think is more interesting.
A few years ago, during the presidential campaign for re-election, the staff team found that the audience for the presidential campaign was not as large as the audience of the midnight talk show, so he also accepted the invitation and became a guest on the show.
As for after becoming president...... Whatever, it's okay to break the jar, and the promises made during the campaign can be drunk and drunk.
Governor Xiaobu even recently participated in ABC's program "Survival Secrets in the Wilderness", and he was familiar with the eyes of voters early on, eating bugs or something.
Don't think that you can be on the show easily, if it weren't for the relationship of the old man, such a good publicity channel ABC TV may not be willing to give it, but the ratings are usually stable at about 24 million, and the stars want to participate to increase their fame, so they have to pay money to get on the ......
