Chapter 157: Throwing Money, Throwing Money Crazy (Three Watches)
"Mr. Luo Yin, this is your latest ranking as of yesterday."
The mayor's secretary handed a document to Luo Yin with both hands.
Here's the current ranking of City Council candidates.
Luo Yin glanced at it and was very satisfied with his face.
He has risen to third place in the rankings.
There are a total of nine seats, and the third should be stable. And the 500,000 campaign funds he prepared have only now spent more than 50,000.
Even if you count the next few days, he estimates that it should be about the same to spend 200,000 at most.
This is much less than Luo Yin imagined.
The remaining 300,000 all went into his own small warehouse, Meizizi.
"Congratulations in advance to Mr. Luo Yin, oh no, it should be His Excellency Councilor Luo Yin!"
The mayor's secretary spoke with a little flattery.
Luo Yin thought it was very interesting.
He had actually met the mayor's secretary for a long time.
When he had just bought the tulip candy industry, he met the mayor's secretary at the city hall because he had to run some business. At that time, the mayor's secretary looked arrogant and cold, and those who didn't know thought he was the mayor.
When we met again, it was when Mayor Burton invited Luo Yin to the city hall some time ago to discuss running for council. The mayor's secretary at that time saw Luo Yin, while remaining reserved, he also showed his enthusiasm, like an old friend.
And now, after many days, we meet again. The mayor's secretary was not only enthusiastic, but even had a hint of flattery......
Luo Yin felt that what he said had to be right.
After all, there is no final word, and now the celebration is somewhat half of the champagne. So Luo Yin said:
"Hey, what councillor is not a councilor, there are still a few days to end, it's too early to say this, the next few days are important, everything can happen, Mr. Secretary speaks strictly!"
The mayor's secretary was instantly in awe of Luo Yin's rigor.
"Mr. Luo Yin's lesson is that I made a mistake!"
Luo Yin nodded, this mayor's secretary is still okay, he can change his mistakes when he knows them, and he is very good.
At this time, someone hurriedly walked over with a document and handed it to the mayor's secretary.
When the mayor's secretary saw it, his eyes widened in surprise, and then after waving his hand to let people leave, he whispered to Luo Yin:
"Mr. Luo Yin, there have been some changes in the ranking of the candidates for parliament......
"Huh? Luo Yin was stunned.
"This is this morning's ranking, just counted."
The mayor's secretary handed the document to Luo Yin to read.
Because it's the last critical moment, the ranking that used to be counted once a day has now become two statistics a day.
Luo Yin glanced at the document.
Subconsciously find his own name first.
"Fourth place?"
Luo Yin frowned.
It's not reasonable to drop one place!
His previous votes were much higher than the third place!
Luo Yin continued to look at it, and his brows suddenly deepened.
The candidates prepared by the town hall are a total of four people including him.
According to yesterday's ranking, he was third. The remaining three are the seventh, ninth, and fifteenth.
The fifteenth is basically hopeless, and the city hall has reduced its resource tilt a lot, which can be regarded as a strategic abandonment.
But the remaining seven and ninth still have a good chance of making a successful election.
If Luo Yin is counted, all three of them can be selected, it will definitely be a great thing for the city hall!
But in this morning's rankings, except for Luo Yin, who fell to fourth place. Fell from seventh to ninth. Fell from ninth to twelfth. As for the fifteenth, it fell directly to the twentieth.
Seeing this ranking, Luo Yin was a little speechless.
Good fellow, is he a crow's mouth, is there really something wrong?
The mayor's secretary didn't bother Luo Yin anymore, but went over to the others and said:
"Go check, I'll find out what's going on in the morning!"
"Yes!"
In the last few days, it's normal for the rankings to change.
But this kind of ranking of all the people's congresses in the city is somewhat abnormal.
Luo Yin originally wanted to go to the sugar factory in the afternoon, but now he is not going anywhere, so he stays at the city hall and waits for the results of the investigation.
After all, this is his own interests, and if someone kills him at the last moment, it will be a big loss.
In the afternoon, when the sun set, the mayor and the mayor's secretary found Luo Yin one after another, and both of them had very serious faces.
"Something's wrong!"
The first sentence made Luo Yin chuckle in his heart.
"What the hell is going on?"
The mayor said with a serious face:
"The sudden increase in the number of votes for candidates outside the city is all voted for by our citizens in the city!"
"Huh?"
The battlefield of the candidates outside the city is outside the city, they have no reputation in the city at all, and some people in the city still look down on people outside the city, so it is difficult for them to compete for the votes of the citizens in the city. So they don't need to come to the city to canvass for votes, they just need to publicize it outside the city, after all, there are many people outside the city, even more than the people in the city, and the number of votes is completely enough.
But now Burton is telling Royin that the residents of the city are voting for candidates from outside the city? This doesn't make sense!
"Because the candidates outside the city are throwing money, throwing crazy money at the residents in the city!"
As if knowing Luo Yin's doubts, the mayor's secretary hurriedly added.
"Throwing money at ......"
Luo Yin suddenly realized, this is reasonable.
After all, citizens are also people, although they don't know those candidates, but if you want to give money and materials, then they are willing to get to know them.
However, after knowing that it was throwing money, Luo Yin was not too worried. It's not that he boasts, if he really fights for money, he is not worthy.
After all, there are nine places, and it is not a competition for the first place.
If he really starts to fight for money, the outsider needs to support nine candidates at a time, and he only needs to manage himself, which is certainly not the same difficulty.
Of course, if he can spend less money, then Luo Yin is unwilling to spend money.
At this time, Mayor Burton handed over a document.
"Here's the ranking for the afternoon."
Luo Yin glanced at it, and his face suddenly became serious.
Of the three candidates in the city, except for the twentieth place, the twelfth fell to the fifteenth, and the ninth to the thirteenth.
As for Luo Yin himself, the fourth place fell to the eighth place.
「……」
Luo Yin was a little confused.
No, he still had so many votes before! This ranking has fallen too fast!
How much money are these people throwing!
Only then did Luo Yin realize the seriousness of the matter.
"I'm in trouble, *** annoying!"
The mayor sighed.
"After our investigation, the candidates from outside the city bought flour and cloth for the citizens of the city today, and they spent 500,000 United Dollars a day today!"
"I'll ...... it"
Luo Yin was a little shocked.
Today is April 25 and the election end date is April 30. That means there are still 5 days to go.
500,000 yuan was smashed on this day, how much are you going to spend in the next few days?
Do they think I won't fight back?
