Although asphalt pavement has many benefits, it does not mean that cement pavement is useless, in fact, there are still many places where cement pavement is used.

The asphalt highway is a cement road at the toll station, which shows that the cement pavement is stronger than the asphalt pavement, and its strength is higher, the rigidity is greater, and the performance of the plate body is better.

When passing through the toll booth, the vehicle will brake and slow down.

If it is an ordinary asphalt pavement, due to a long stay and braking, the asphalt pavement will form a huge depression, and the relatively rigid cement pavement will not have such a problem.

In addition to this, it was also mentioned earlier that cement pavements have a longer lifespan.

If at a high level of technology, the service life of cement pavement can reach more than thirty or forty years, while the service life of asphalt pavement is only about 10 years.

In addition to cost and other reasons, this is one of the reasons why the runways of many airports are still cement pavement.

There is also in some rural roads, most of them also use cement pavement, mainly because there are no corresponding street lights at night in these rural roads, and cement pavement can be better reflective.

However, it is really necessary to take into account the long-term demand, although the cost of asphalt pavement is higher than that of cement pavement, but some characteristics of asphalt pavement are much better than cement pavement.

In particular, the thermal expansion and contraction of cement pavement can easily cause potential safety hazards.

In addition, if the cement pavement is not cut in place, once the expansion joints arch up at high temperatures, and faults are formed between the cement slabs, then the high-speed car is tantamount to hitting a thick wall.

For a number of reasons, it makes sense to use asphalt for this type of highway.

Of course, Li Yaoyang won't think about it so much, he is not an ugly countryman, there is no need to think about the future of this country, there is only one thing he has to think about, the more he earns in the short term, the better.

According to Maffit's algorithm, this big cake has a profit of 50 or 60 million, and how can it be distributed to Li Yaoyang that it has 8 figures, which is simply bloody, how can he allow someone to snatch his profits?

So he organized a lobbying team with his own interests to lobby those responsible for the construction of Highway 1 in an attempt to push for the decision on the concrete pavement.

As we all know, the favorite game of the political and business circles of the ugly country is lobbying.

This is the usual routine of the West, and it is the only possibility to legitimize 'fooling'.

Later, with the birth of the Internet, scandals related to lobbying were not uncommon.

K Street, which includes Washington, D.C., is becoming more and more of a hot topic of conversation.

The ugly man said:

"If you don't know K Street, you won't know Washington, and you won't know the real ugly country."

So, what kind of street is K Street? How did it get its name? Where do lobbyists often deal deals with parliamentarians?

The street names in DC are very regular, with the north-south directions mostly marked with numbers, and the east-west directions generally named in alphabetical order.

K Street is an east-west avenue that runs through northern Washington, D.C., with J Street to the south and L Street to the north.

The proximity of K Street to the two centers of power, White House and Congress, is probably the main reason why K Street is a "lobbying street."

If you walk around K Street, you will find that there are more than three on K Street:

First of all, of course, there are many lobbying companies;

The second is that there are many banks, and almost all the banks in the country have set up branches on K Street.

There are many banks, which fully shows that the spending power here is amazing.

Third, there are many high-end specialty stores, luxury hotels and high-end restaurants.

These high-end places of consumption are clearly for lobbyists and parliamentarians to "make deals".

This includes a top-notch steakhouse where you can experience the most authentic "working meals" for lobbyists and parliamentarians.

As you approach the door, a waiter will immediately greet you and open the door to wait for you to enter the restaurant, and if you are coming by car, he will park your car for free.

There is nothing to say about the décor in the restaurant, and the dark red atmosphere is no different from the ugly Chinese restaurants that are common in movies.

Once you've sat down, open the menu and browse through it, and you'll be tempted to beat the drum in your heart because it's very expensive!

The smallest portion of grilled steak is more than 20 knives, and the average portion of grilled steak is more than 30 knives.

The most astonishing thing is the drink: the lowest price is $50 a bottle for each bottle, the price of $100 a bottle abounds, and a bottle of wine imported from France is priced at $420!

At the moment of Prohibition, they were blatantly selling alcohol here, and the Prohibition Commissioners turned a blind eye and dared not speak out.

Order a steak according to your financial resources, as well as tomato soup, mashed potatoes, etc., and don't ask for alcohol.

Even so, this meal costs at least more than 100 dollars, and it does not include tips, which is more than twice as expensive as an ordinary restaurant, and it is a slaughter for ordinary people, but for these politicians and lobbyists who are used to coming here to eat working meals, this is an ordinary meal, and it is not worth showing off!

Although the restaurant does not look luxurious, the tableware here is all one by one, the material is silver, the seats are all leather, and the decorative paintings hanging on the surrounding walls are mostly precious and authentic.

Lobbying, as an ancient activity, has appeared in the arena of domestic and foreign affairs in Western countries.

The English word lobby, which originally means a glorious hall or lobby, was used as the meaning of "lobbying" in England, which first appeared in England in 1215 when the Magna Carta of Liberty was issued.

After the founding of the country, the capital was set in DC, and many legislators stayed at the Hillard Hotel, and the hotel lobby also became a place for people from all walks of life to lobby for congressmen.

As for the gray area of lobbying, which is a political field, the ugly country does not prohibit it, but tries to regulate it through laws and regulations.

However, it is useless, no matter how to patch up, the lack of laws and regulations has also made the increasingly powerful ugly national interest groups form a huge community of interests with politicians through lobbying, and wander in the dark places of the political arena.

In the ugly country, the definition of lobbying is quite broad, and it cannot be simply and intuitively regarded as a farce in which interest groups and politicians bind and exchange interest demands.

In terms of scope, the lobbying activities of ugly countries include foreign interest groups lobbying the government of ugly countries, domestic interest groups lobbying parliamentarians, boss candidates lobbying voters, and so on. Campaigners speaking in various places before the election, and civil liberty rallies to fight for rights, can also be understood as a kind of "lobbying" activity.

Of course, interest group lobbying is the most well-known lobbying activity for the public, including economic interest groups, political interest groups, religious interest groups, public interest groups, and so on.

Among them, economic interest groups have the largest number, the greatest influence and the highest stability.

Regardless of which group they are, they can be collectively referred to as "extra-hospital lobbying groups".

Of course, this is not an organization or group in the true sense of the word, but just a general term for lobbyists.

If a lobbyist is defined, it can be said to be "a person who is designated by an interest group as its representative to exert influence on the government to bring its public policies into line with the interests of that group".

To put it simply, the task of the lobbyist is to gain an advantage in the government and put the opponent at a disadvantage for the benefit of a certain group.

There are some other names for lobbyists, such as legislative agents, legislative advisers, legislative advocates, and so on.

Lobbyists are regulated by federal and state governments and are therefore required to register, and their activities are primarily held in Congress and state legislatures.

Lobbyists and legislation are inextricably linked.

Some people refer to the lobby as the "third house" of Congress, which is a testament to the sheer extent of their influence.

Individual lawsuits require the help of a lawyer, and a financial advisor should be consulted when investing.

In the same way, interest groups deal with Congress and state legislatures, and they rely on professionals, who are lobbyists.

As representatives of interest groups, the main role of lobbyists is to communicate, and the task of lobbyists is not only to convey information, but the most important job is to persuade parliamentarians to support a certain position.

To achieve this, lobbyists need a whole set of skills, including camaraderie, providing assistance, applying pressure, etc.

From the point of view of interest groups and members of Congress, lobbyists play an important role in the democracies of ugly countries.

However, many people in the ugly country believe that the lobbyists and the interest groups they represent may pose a threat to the democratic system of the ugly country.

The vast majority of the public has a negative view of lobbyists and interest groups, and believes that Congress has given too much power to interest groups and lobbyists.

A journalist once said that since the founding of the ugly country, the democratic process has been more or less distorted by some cunning and powerful forces that only consider their own interests, and this sentence represents a very common view among the people of the ugly country.

But to put it bluntly, this is just a game under the spirit of entertainment in the ugly country, everything can be entertained, this is the ugly country.

If you want to know more about this kind of game, you can go to "House of Cards", a classic work by British artist Michael Dobbs, which depicts the life of Francis Urkuhart, the majority whip of the House of Representatives, who is dominated by power and hollowed out by power.

The so-called party whip refers to those in Western parliamentary groups who maintain the unity of the party and allow the members of their own party to "stay in formation" in the parliamentary game.

In 1990, the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) brought "House of Cards" to the screen, starring Ian Richardson, one of Britain's most famous Shakespeare actors at the time.

Richardson said that when he first read the play of "House of Cards," he found that the play's male protagonist was very similar to Shakespeare's character "Richard III," whom he had starred in for many years.

In later filming, Richardson always portrayed the scheming male protagonist in the play in the way of portraying Richard III.

Because of the excellent performance and wonderful plot, the BBC version of "House of Cards" was a big hit.

In 2000, it was also named one of the British Film Institute's "100 Best TV Series".

Later, the remake of Ugly Country director Fincher not only moved the battlefield of parliamentary political struggle from Britain to Ugly Country, but also recreated the plot, with heavier tastes, deeper conspiracy, and much greater drama.

The male protagonist of "House of Cards" in the ugly country becomes Rep. Francis Underwood from South Carolina.

The surname comes from Oscar Underwood, the first real donkey whip in the history of the Ugly Country.

In the real ugly political arena, the party whip is second only to the party leader and plays a major role in intra-party coordination.

Underwood in the play, who turned his hands into clouds and turned his hands into rain, is the driving force behind a number of political transactions:

He helped Garrett Walker rise to the top of the throne after he saddled in the general election.

The latter failed to fulfill his promise to give him the post of secretary of state, and with the help of his equally ambitious wife, Underwood took elaborate revenge on those who betrayed him.

"He quietly dismantled the president's stage and knocked down his opponents one by one, but he didn't get a drop of blood on his hands."

In "House of Cards", the interests of parties, non-governmental organizations, news media, lobby groups, trade unions and other parties are intertwined, giving the audience a vivid lesson in the politics of an ugly country.

Power, desire, behind-the-scenes deals, and intrigues are intricately intertwined, making for a political drama with ups and downs.

Getting back to the point, Li Yaoyang found a professional lobbying group, and after sending his demands and checks, he didn't care about the rest, the process was not important, he only looked at the results.

Over the next month or so, Li Yaoyang noticed that almost the entire eastern part of the country was publishing reports about Highway 1.

A considerable part of them are vaguely discussing the choice of pavement, which is a discussion on the surface, but in fact it is a subtle influence on the people, brainwashing everyone, and telling them that cement pavement is the best choice.

At the same time, various newspapers and periodicals also distributed questionnaires at the same time, and the content was much the same.

In the end, a less reliable statistic came out - cement pavement won with 78% support.

The devil knows how this data came about, anyway, 78% of this figure was published in enlargement, bold and black, which is enough to express public opinion.

The will of the people cannot be violated, and the relevant responsible persons of Highway 1 do not dare to play too much, and the interests must be taken, but they must not be too arrogant.

The situation that had been vacillating on the concrete and asphalt pavement became clear in an instant.

This lobbying activity cost less than 30,000 dollars, but it did tens of millions of things, worth it!

When the dust settled, Highway 1 finally began.

Each section of the road started at the same time, if you look down from the sky, it will be an extremely spectacular scene, but now there is no overlooking technology, it seems that the thunder is heavy and the rain is small.

The New Jersey section is actually the product of lobbying by interest groups, and although the original plan is to pass through Jersey, it will not go far to Atlantic City.

After all, Atlantic City is located on the coast, a considerable distance from Philadelphia.

If you go around Atlantic City, you will inevitably go around Philadelphia, how is this possible, Philadelphia is an indispensable stop for both public and private purposes.

But the benefits offered by Atlantic City are so great that no one will refuse a big American knife.

As a result, Highway 1 went south from New York and split into two lines, one running to Philadelphia and one connecting Atlantic City.

And Li Yaoyang, they will be mainly responsible for the construction of this branch line of Atlantic City!
