Chapter 149: Alexander ascends the throne

&0/11/7.

Announced by the Tarrant County Council.

Alexander Smith, the candidate for Glentown.

Officially won the election for chief of Tarrant County.

Alexander Smith, who successfully became the 42nd Chief Governor of Tarrant County.

The United States is a federal state, meaning that federal, state, and local agencies are not affiliated.

The local authorities here are often referred to as the subordinate units of the state.

Below the prefecture, there is also a "city".

But in fact, most of the "cities" in the United States are more regarded as a federation of citizens' self-government, not as an administrative body.

The lowest level of administrative body is the county above the city.

As with the states, the counties below the United States.

It also has its own independent laws, parliaments and even three powers.

Except for the lack of a garrison, the county is basically a small state.

If the economy is good and the locals are strong, they will simply be small semi-independent kingdoms.

This is the peculiar federal system of the United States, a more decentralized federal system than any other federal country in the world.

After announcing the victory, he answered the routine phone call of Denko and the other three to congratulate him.

Dwayne had been prepared for a long time, and soon a victory party was held in Fort Worth, the county of Tarrant County.

Alexander's supporters, as well as the townspeople who joined in the fun, and some of the trusts who took the money.

Celebrate in the city*** and finally gather at the city's largest cowboy square to hear the winner, Alexander, give a speech.

When my dad was speaking.

Abel wore a "META" hat printed on it, which is Alexander's campaign support cap, and silently stood behind his speech as a backdrop.

Emily, as the first lady of Tarrant County, stood behind Alexander.

Alexander is a guy who is used to commanding people and is used to feeling like a superior.

Plus more than two months of exercise and hands-on operation.

This kind of speech, he is not stage frightened at all.

It can also guide emotions, and guide the vast majority of farmers and low-level people on the scene to be called a blood boiling.

It seems that tomorrow, Alexander will be able to lead everyone to make "Make Tarrant County Greater" a reality.

I have to say that Abel feels this kind of victory big *** and victory big party.

I especially have that sense of participation, and I have the feeling that "the person on the stage was chosen by me, and he can only stand up because of me, so his glory is my glory".

The sense of engagement is particularly strong.

No wonder Americans are particularly keen on this kind of thing.

No wonder in parallel time and space.

Those red necks in the future will be so keen to participate in the party of the MAGA king.

It's a natural love of lively Americans, and there is an excuse for such an upright party.

If you have a big party like Pary, even those who don't support it will become supporters.

It can only be said that this is the national situation.

It's been like this for more than 200 years.

It is estimated that in the future, it can only go on like this.

After the Victory Party.

It was a drinking party that only the elite of Tarrant County, as well as high-ranking supporters of Alexandria, were able to participate in.

> Held at the best hotels in the city of Fort Worth.

Outside, at the *** and Victory party.

Alexander is the absolute number one.

In this drinking party, the most popular became his and Emily's son.

The celebrities from Fort Worth and Tarrant County who came to Pary knew who Alexander's son was.

They were also familiar with Alexander, but not at all with Aberna.

There were many people who wanted to pass through Alexander and wanted to get to know Abel.

But Alexander never let go, and Abel never returned.

Or come back and not be caught by them.

This time Abel is back.

Also appears on such occasions.

Of course, everyone couldn't let him go, and they all chatted around him.

Abel also made the first time to drink more wine in the drinking party.

You must know that he rarely drinks alcohol and does not smoke.

At the same time, he is willing to give and abide by the law.

This was in the eyes of those Puritans of the older generation in the United States.

In addition to the fact that I prefer to have a girlfriend.

He's actually their favorite kind of American.

And for the American Southerners, not to mention that Abel was still the son of a farmer.

This is a typical one's own person, or a very good one's own person.

This made Abel, in the cocktail pary, gain a huge amount of attention.

Everybody wants to talk to him, everybody wants to know him.

On the contrary, it was Alexander and Emily, who were the original number one, who became marginal characters.

"Ha~ Our kid seems to be very popular!"

Emily was also happy tonight, and made an exception to drink a lot.

At this moment, she was holding a glass of red wine, standing beside her husband, smiling at Abel who was surrounded in the middle.

From time to time, she looked at her tall, strong, high-spirited husband beside her.

At this moment, Emily felt that it was probably one of the three happiest moments of her life.

The other two,

It was the day she married Alexander,

and the day Abel was born.

"Hmph~" Alexander took a sullen sip of red wine and said in a low voice:

"It was my drinking party, but it became his home turf. Next time I open a pary, I can't call him again."

"How can you say that about your own son!" Emily gently patted her husband on the shoulder.

But she knew that her husband was that kind of character.

Obviously, he spoils his children more than anyone else, and cares more than himself.

But on the surface, even if it is debunked in front of your eyes.

You have to pretend to be disdainful and cold-blooded iron men.

As Alexander's pillow man, Emily has long been accustomed to Alexander's appearance.

The husband and wife, one pretended to be indifferent, and the other put most of his spirit on his son.

Both of them are concerned about their children.

It's just that the attitude is different, and the way of using it is also different.

This reception lasted until more than eleven o'clock.

Wait for the Smith family to return to Smith Farm.

It was already about one o'clock in the evening.

Usually at this time, except for the people on duty at night.

The people on the farm have long since rested.

Today is obviously a special day, even at this time.

The entire farm was brightly lit and the family was surrounded by Abel's convoy.

When we arrived outside the farm, the large open space that was both a parking lot and a square.

They saw dozens or hundreds of people, all gathered in the big clearing.

Among them, John's family is at the forefront.

John, John Jr., John IV, and others took the lead in cheering when they saw the Smiths get out of the car.

Everyone else on the farm cheered along with everyone.

"Hooray! Banzai! Long live Alexander, Smith great!"

"Long live Abel, long live Smith!"

"For Alexander Smith! For Abel Smith!"

「.」

Cheers, echoing throughout Smith Farm, many

The animals and livestock on the farm were awakened.

With the bleating of sheep, the mooing of cows, and the booming sound of dogs.

It was a night at Smith Farm that was clearly difficult to calm down.

The next day.

Alexander, who has always gone to bed early and got up early, and his biological clock is very regular, had a rare lazy sleep.

When he woke up the next day.

I found that my wife was no longer around.

Alexander got up, washed up, and changed his clothes.

He walked out of the bedroom and into the living room.

I saw my son and wife, who were preparing lunch.

Among them, Chef Emily and Abel are just helping to carry the dishes, serve the plates, and take the knives and forks.

Alexander, the head of the family, walked to the table and calmly achieved the main position.

Seeing him like this, Abel also sat next to him with a smile.

"On my first day in office, I slept in. Mr. Chief Governor of Tarrant County, you are a sign of laziness, and if your supporters found out, they don't know how sad they would be."

Abel joked to his county magistrate's father.

Alexander glanced at him.

"I'm not officially in office yet. The current county magistrate is still Dernko."

Alexander said: "It will not be until January 1 next year that Dernke will step down. That's when I came to power."

"Okay, okay. Who called me just an ordinary businessman? I don't even know that." Abel said with a smile.

Actually, he knows that, too.

That is, on the side of the United States, it is not that if you are elected, you will be the boss immediately.

There will be an adaptation period of about a month, and it will be considered as the official appointment next year.

Generally speaking, this is almost a month of adaptation.

It will be used by successful candidates as a buffer stage for forming and forming a staff team, recruiting henchmen and people, and appointing their own people to take the position.

Abel just saw Alexander just now, and he had a rare lazy sleep, and he only got up so late to make fun of him.

After this little episode, Abel put away his joking expression.

He looked at his father earnestly.

"Thank you. Father, your first step has been successful."

He asked, "What's next? I should say, what is your approach to the future of Tarrant County?"

Alexander knew what his son's "thank you" meant.

Because Alexander was able to walk this path and was willing to take this road.

At the beginning, it was Abel's request and request.

Alexander thought for a moment and said softly:

"It's like the campaign policy I proposed. Increase employment in Tarrant County, lead more businesses to settle locally, and increase the incomes of farmers and workers, as well as migrant workers."

Abel nodded.

Alexander's campaign policy is also one of the reasons for his success.

Because of the other three candidates, their campaign policies are much the same.

All three are targeting security, health care, culture, and even the Greens.

The first three are okay, environmental protection.

At the present time in 2000, it may be more comfortable on the east and west coasts, and there are many people who support it.

But in the South and Central United States, animal protection is not a climate at this time.

Alexander's campaign policy was aimed at employment and income, which were of primary concern to the rednecks.

It's the hardest thing to do, but it's also the easiest to gain support from the locals.

Coupled with his status as a local farmer, there is also a way of propaganda that does not treat money as money.

Winning over those three candidates is not too much of a surprise.

"And what exactly do you want to do?" Abel spoke softly.

Alexander asked, "Now it should be my turn to ask, what do you want me to do for you?"

?」

In this campaign, Alexander himself basically did not spend money.

All the money he wants to spend is given to his son.

This campaign, not counting Abel's relocation of the Rock Security, as well as the cost of buying the Alesvas Company.

Just for Zhengzhi's donation, Abel took out more than 2 million to support Alexander.

A broken county magistrate position, with his own farm close to two years of profits.

Alexander was a little distressed.

And according to the convention, after the successful ascension.

It is often the time for candidates to start taking care of the financial owners behind them.

There was only one owner of Alexander, and that was Abel.

Abel was his son again.

Alexander felt that if he didn't take care of his son, who else could he take care of?

"Uh" Abel understood what Alexander meant.

The new county magistrate, this is to open a back door for himself in Tarrant County.

Just like other American regulars who have succeeded in ascending to the throne with the help of big donors.

This is the most common thing in the United States.

Can't go into details.

But does Abel really need Alexander to open a back door for him in Tarrant County?

You don't need it at all!

Alexander is not yet the governor of Texas, let alone the new Grand Commander.

Wait until the day when you really need Daddy to open the back door for yourself.

Abel thinks that at least it will have to wait until Dad becomes a member of Congress.

Or the governor.

Or. It's time to live in that house.

Thinking of this, Abel shook his head.

"I don't need you to do anything for me. Even if it's what you want to do for me. You're not qualified enough right now."

"As I told you before, the more you can help me if you climb up."

"It's the other way around. The farther I go, the richer and more influential I become."

"It can also help you climb higher."

"Do you see what I mean?"

Abel's long words made Alexander fall silent.

It was only at this moment that Alexander was sure that his son really had that terrible ambition.

The level he has reached now does not meet the satisfaction that Abel demanded at all.

Alexander took a deep breath.

"Okay. I see." Alexander said calmly:

"If that's the case, it's true that I need you to do something for me right now."

"That's right." Abel laughed again.

Abel said, "Your campaign policy is to increase employment. This one is actually the easiest. In Tarrant County, I plan to invest again in Alesvas and increase the number of power plants, gas processing plants and refineries, as well as gas plants."

"In addition, my rock security will also recruit some locals."

"At the very least, these two companies can add more than 2,000 jobs to Tarrant County."

"In January next year, it will be just right."

After Abel finished speaking, he saw his father nodding.

Then he saw Alexander and suddenly said, "Abel, are you interested in the American mass supermarket?"

"Huh?" Abel raised an eyebrow.

"Mass Supermarket has opened five stores in Arlington and Fort Worth in Tarrant in the last two years, as well as three other locations."

"But they didn't adapt to it, and they ran it for a few years, and they kept losing money. The mass supermarket company wanted to leave, but the local council did not allow it. That would cause more than 1,000 people to lose their jobs and affect the incomes of more than 2,000 people. At least 50,000 people's lives will be affected."

Abel nodded slightly.

The full name of the Volkswagen supermarket company translates to American Big

Mass supermarket companies.

This is a company that is not well-known internationally, and not many foreigners know about it.

But in the United States, it is one of the hidden giants.

It is one of the largest private companies in the United States by revenue.

In the United States, a private company refers to a privately owned, unlisted company.

The two largest are:

Cargill, Inc., mainly engaged in food, beverages and tobacco.

Koch Industries, Petrochemical Energy and other businesses.

In the present year 2000.

Both are giant enterprises with annual revenues of more than $60 billion.

Underneath these two giants are a number of other giant private companies.

For example, this American mass supermarket company is a giant with market revenue of nearly $200+ and can rank among the top 10 private companies.

However, its previous territory was mainly in Florida, Alabama and other places.

In recent years, there has been a desire to expand nationwide.

The main directions of expansion are California and Texas.

On the Texas side, it has been sniped by other giants in the same industry.

Progress is not very good.

The five mass supermarkets in Tarrant County, Alexander said, wanted to exit in this situation.

It's just that the local council, due to the impact on the employment rate and the economy, does not allow the withdrawal of mass supermarkets with serious losses.

In view of the agreement signed at the time of entry, the mass supermarket company had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to operate here.

Then again.

Don't look at the supergiants that go public, they look like they are in the United States.

But in fact, there are quite a few of these private giants.

Their voice in this country is no worse than that of the giants that go public.

In their territory, sometimes their voice and will are even more useful than the federal government.

Like this American mass supermarket company, in Florida and Alabama, it is basically not much different from Tubawang.

Recalling the information about private companies in the United States, Abel said calmly, "You mean, let me take over these five supermarkets?"

Alexander nodded.

"They're actually in a good position. But the reason why business is so bad is that they have been sniped, and some people want to eat the corpses left behind when they retreat."

"I didn't know before, and I was used as a knife."

"But I know now. And I'm in this position. My son still has the ability to eat them."

"So."

Alexander looked at Abel.

"Why can't it be Smith who eats corpses?"

Why can't it be Smith who eats corpses?

At this moment, Abel felt.

His own father has barely qualified in this field.
