Chapter 173: The Fight Begins
Soon, the two sides looked at each other, and David said directly: "Mr. Lawson, are you ready?" ”
Lawson rolled his eyes and asked, "...... do you mean?" ”
David made a gesture, and Neeson, who was behind him, immediately handed a file to Lawson, who immediately took it open and examined it.
As the contents of the document continued to emerge, Lawson's expression changed from calm at the beginning to surprise and finally to shock.
After that, he put down the documents, looked at David and asked, "Tax Chief David, you are really powerful, and you can even check the personnel, details, and transactions involved in the repair project of the Golden Ear Bridge so clearly!" ”
"I need to find a media platform as soon as possible and use this document to attack Stevenson, can you do that?"
Lawson pondered for a moment and replied: "It's not difficult, but with this document alone, Stevenson's public relations ability can only make him fall into a public opinion storm at most, and it is not enough to really bring him down!" ”
"I know, this is not in a hurry, we will come 'one by one'."
Lawson understood the meaning of David's words, and immediately beckoned to the secretary not far away, and when the secretary came up, he ordered: "Didn't the KNPR-FM TV station invite me for more than a month, tell them that I can be on tonight!" ”
"Understood, Mr. Lawson, I'll go and inform them at once!"
David looked at Lawson and reminded: "Remember Mr. Lawson, this matter has nothing to do with me and our IRS, and you also got these materials yourself, understand?" ”
Lawson was stunned, but soon understood what David meant.
Davy is going to use him as a gunman!
But there was no way, his handle was now in David's hand, even if he was used as a gun, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
Then he nodded and replied, "I see." ”
"Don't worry, Mr. Lawson, if you get this done, if you need anything in the future, I will help you as much as I can!"
Hearing this, Lawson's heart felt a lot better.
But soon he thought about it, this David is too hand-eyed, if he can ask the other party to help him fight his competitors, then the affairs of the senator in the upper position will be stable.
Now, of course, the main thing is to help David get this done.
"Look at you, Mr. Lawson!"
Dropping these words, David turned to leave, and after returning to the car, he called Laurie: "Lieutenant Governor Laurie, the show is ready to start, and you are in the state government, and you have to start working." ”
State government, in the office, Laurie's expression instantly became serious when he heard this, and he replied, "So fast? ”
It was only yesterday morning that he called David and told him that he was willing to gamble.
What he didn't expect was that he only made a decision yesterday, and he received such a notice today, which inevitably made him a little worried.
"There is an old saying in Huaxia that it is called the speed of soldiers."
"Okay, I see!"
After finishing the call with Laurie, David made another call to Aldington, again telling him to get ready.
And because his handle was pinched in David's hand, Aldington naturally didn't dare to say anything, and directly agreed.
"Tax Collector, this is no small matter, we ...... Don't need to inform Director Jon of the state office? ”
After David finished the call with the two, Bucky also asked cautiously.
In his opinion, if there is no strong high-level endorsement for such a big matter as moving the governor, it will be very troublesome to go out of the pool.
Although the two Nissen Simmons on the side did not speak, they were also thinking the same thing.
"He doesn't need to know about it, and he won't want to know!"
Through many conversations, David already knew that the state chief was a very smart man.
And this matter is, strictly speaking, a contradiction between David's side and Stevenson's side.
It doesn't have much to do with the IRS.
So even if this thing succeeds, it won't do Jon much good, but if it fails, it will get him in trouble.
Therefore, if David told the state chief about this now, it would make the state chief unhappy.
Governor's Residence.
Eugene walked into Stevenson's office and said, "Governor, I just received a notice from KNPR-FM that at 7 o'clock tonight, Lawson will come up to their TV station to do an interview and say that he will respond to the criticism you gave him last month!" ”
Hearing this, Stevenson's face sank.
It's not a matter of a day or two for the two to become bitter enemies, and every time they grab each other's pigtails, they will choose to go on this KNPR-FM TV station to attack and criticize each other.
And just last month, Stevenson learned through channels that Lawson was extravagant and wasteful of campaign funds when he went to various cities to canvass for votes, for which he severely criticized the other party on the TV station.
And Lawson finally suffered a dumb loss and became a shrinking turtle for more than a month, but he didn't expect to finally have trouble today.
Don't......
What disclosure did you make recently, and you were caught by the other party in the pigtails?
After thinking about it, Stevenson couldn't think of it, so he could only look at Eugene and ask, "Have I been on a business trip to any of those places lately?" ”
"Not at the moment, but ......"
"But what?"
"Governor, don't forget that a few days ago, David personally went to see this Lawson, and it turned out that until today, this Lawson is suddenly going to be interviewed by KNPR-FM, don't you think this is ...... Maybe there's something weird? ”
As soon as he heard Eugene say this, Stevenson's face suddenly became solemn.
Oh, yes.
It's been a few days, and there's no news from the IRS that they're going to deal with Lawson, but now he wants to go on TV to respond to his criticism.
This Davy and Lawson can't have reached a deal in secret, right?
"Governor, when you went to Gavin yesterday, didn't you make sure that he did have some problems, and if this Lawson also had problems, it would be troublesome......"
Eugene's words made Stevenson's heart a little heavier.
That's right, in yesterday's conversation with Gavin, despite Gavin's efforts to pretend nothing had happened, he was keenly aware of some problems.
If Gavin really colludes with David, plus the current Lawson, these three forces are combined, although I don't know what they want to do for the time being.
But it must be plotting against him Stevenson!
"We can't find anything out now, and we won't know until the evening when Lawson is on TV that we know if they're colluding or trying to do something."
Stevenson nodded, and now he had to wait for Lawson to talk about it in the evening, and see what he would say.
The time came to 6.50pm.
On the side of the governor's residence, Stevenson turned on the TV series for the first time.
On the side of the Ninglin Branch, David and his party also stopped their work, ready to watch Lawson's play.
And because the television station used Lawson's response to Governor Stevenson's criticism as a gimmick in advance, the interview also attracted the attention of many citizens in Nevada.
All eyes on it.
At this time in the KNPR-FM television station.
"Mr. Lawson, you said that tonight's interview will bring us a blockbuster news, is it true?"
In the preparation area below the studio, the head of the television station came to Lawson's side and asked Lawson, who was grooming.
"Of course!"
After getting confirmed, the person in charge of the TV station immediately became happy, Lawson is a candidate for the Senate, this so-called blockbuster news is naturally extraordinary, and it will definitely bring them huge traffic attention!
Soon, the time came to seven o'clock, the cameras were all in place, and the host of the interview, Milton, took the lead in front of the camera, first said thank you for your attention to the opening remarks of this interview, and then turned his head to make a gesture of please, and said: "Now, I have our guest tonight, Mr. Lawson, Senator Candidate!" ”
In the next second, the radiant Lawson stepped forward with a few documents in his hand, waved to the camera, and said, "Hello audience, I'm Lawson." ”
"Please sit Mr. Lawson!"
The moderator made a gesture to sit down, and when Lawson was seated, he asked, "Mr. Lawson, Mr. Governor was interviewed with us last month, and he pointed out that you were wasting campaign money in various cities, how are you going to respond today?" ”
"First of all, I have already felt that I have made a mistake in this matter of extravagance, so in the coming days, I have specially warned those around me to pay attention to this......"
Speaking of which, Lawson took out one of the documents he brought with him, spread it out in front of the camera, and said, "This is a breakdown of all the expenditures of our team since Mr. Governor's criticism, and we have compared them, which is lower than the current monthly spending of more than half of the Senate candidates in the country." ”
"Okay Mr. Lawson, your fund details are indeed the best response to Mr. Governor, I think Mr. Governor may be watching the show at this time, he should also be satisfied with your fund details!"
"Perhaps, Mr. Governor, may be pleased with the breakdown of my funds after his criticism, but...... I'm not happy with some of the governor's violations! ”
As soon as these words came out, the host Milton's expression changed slightly.
And the person in charge of the TV station below, as well as other high-level executives, also looked solemn in an instant.
At the same time, other citizens who were watching the interview were in an uproar.
Lawson and Stevenson have not been pinching each other for a day or two, but the two sides have been just talking about each other, you criticize me once, and I scold you twice.
But now, Lawson actually uses the word 'violation', which is not unusual.
You know, Stevenson is the governor of Nevada, and if he violates the rules, he will be criminally responsible!
