Chapter 87 (1/2)
Last time, Li Zitao made a special investigation on Roosevelt. The governor's attachment is absolutely golden.
From Harvard to Columbia Law School, he was elected to the New York City Senate at the age of 28, continued to serve in office at the age of 30, and was appointed Deputy Secretary of the Navy by Wilson at the age of 31 for seven consecutive years.
At the age of 37, he joined James Cox's presidential campaign and ran for the vice president, but both failed.
The 38 year old was found to have poliomyelitis, causing paralysis of the lower body.
But even that did not defeat him. He was still active in politics, an activist of the Democratic Party, and his wife, Anna Roosevelt, represented him in Parliament.
With his active efforts, the two parties of the Democratic Party, the city and the countryside, have been closely united. With his series of actions, it is enough to analyze that he is planning a bigger plan.
What's more, Roosevelt followed Wilson, the 28th president, for a long time and was highly valued by the president.
He failed to run for vice president in large part because he spent his time lobbying for President Wilson's League of Nations Program.
Naturally, he inherited President Wilson's influence in the Democratic Party.
There is also the Roosevelt family, whose influence in the Republican Party can not be underestimated. If Roosevelt participates in the election, there will be four debates in the Republican Party.
In addition, he has experienced the failure of the vice presidential election, participated in the presidential campaign team, and two presidents have taught him by example. He has rich experience in the election.
This year's victory over New York governor is a good proof.
As for the issue of disability, Roosevelt's previous campaign has given a perfect answer: ”the governor is not necessarily an acrobat. We choose him not because he can roll forward or roll backward. What he does is mental work and tries to do everything possible to benefit the people.”
Look, what a beautiful speech!
Such a speech and the optimism he exuded made the people in the disaster feel the same way and have more identification with the governor.
”Yes, I'm building a campaign team.” When they arrived at the reception area in the corner, Roosevelt made no secret of his ambition.
”Need help?” Li Zitao asked.
”Your Republican friends won't like it.” Roosevelt laughed.
”It seems that I need to repeat that I am an independent, am I not?” Li Zitao if pointed to say.
”Is it luck or misfortune?” Roosevelt did not shy away from the issue.
”Who knows?” Looking at him with deep eyes, Li Zitao burst into a smile, raised his glass and said, ”to our friendship, cheers!”
”Do you have any plans?” Roosevelt asked
”No Li Zitao spread his hands and saw that he didn't show his intention. Then he went on: ”well, there is a think tank under my name. They will give you advice.”
Roosevelt said meaningfully: ”a brain full of wisdom?”
”Yes, it will help you to win.” Li Zitao boasted impolitely.
”No, it's us.” Roosevelt pointed to them, smiling with wisdom.
Looking at Roosevelt's promise, Li Zitao was relieved, because in the face of the governor, he could not take many cards.
The Roosevelt family was more than just a political family, and their industry was not more than that of a consortium.
From 22nd to 46th streets in Manhattan, from fifth avenue to the Hudson River bank, 86 percent of the properties belong to this low-key family.
There are buildings, busy streets and hotels in many American cities, and the land below is also the property of the Roosevelt family.
At the same time, ”Roosevelt's reputation is not very bad at the same time
Therefore, from the beginning, Li Zitao did not use political fund-raising as a condition of cooperation, but directly put think tanks on the table as his chips.
The reputation of club 22, as well as the success of think tanks in the stock market, has been circulating in the upper class for a long time. Of course, Roosevelt had heard of its existence.
”In the near future, I will arrange someone to invite you. If it is inconvenient, you can register by mail.” Li Zitao's attitude as a football league friend.
”No, I want to see it myself.” Roosevelt refused.
Since the other party wants to see it, Li Zitao naturally won't refuse. The two return to the banquet hall chatting and laughing, and mayor Carl comes together.
”Charlie, when will our contract be signed?” Carl's talking about the aegis division.
Li Zitao's recent news is not small at all. In particular, baikede's wanton recruitment in several states near Il has made him red eyed and enthusiastic.
”I'll talk about it tomorrow. I haven't had time to communicate with the lawyer.” Today, Li Zitao has not had time to see sanier. If he doesn't know the progress of the negotiation, he will not promise casually.”That woman lawyer of yours is very difficult to deal with.” Carl said with emotion.
”You didn't pay her, of course.” Li Zitao said with a proud smile.
”Charlie, come here and I'll introduce you to a new friend.” Not far away, exclaimed Frances, standing beside him a strange man.
Tall and thin, with eyes and a friendly smile on his face, Li Zitao nodded as he looked at him.
”This is white. I think you've heard of that name. He's just been elected governor of IL, and he's a new political star of our republican party.” Frances said enthusiastically.
