Chapter 431 (1/2)
The meeting with Al Gore lasted an hour. At 2:30, the senator left in a hurry to return to Washington.
Seeing off Al Gore, Simon and James Leibold went back to the reception room and sat down again. After the Secretary changed his coffee, James said: ”according to the Convention of the US presidential campaign, candidates and partners should be one north and one south, and their ages should complement each other. Arkansas and Tennessee are not only in the south, but also connected. Clinton and Al Gore are very old Light, are you really going to do that? ”
Simon took a sip of his coffee. After Janet wanted to give up for a while, it's no longer necessary.
Put down the cup, Simon said: ”Convention is to be broken, so many years of convention, the federal people should also want to see something new. In my opinion, the key to the success or failure of this election is not Clinton himself. ”
In next year's presidential election, George Bush's advantage is too great.
A hundred years of political family background, deep political experience, the public reputation brought by the great victory of the Gulf War, and so on, all these are far from being comparable to Clinton who was born in the lower class and had a poor foundation.
To win such an election, you have to take it by surprise.
The key to Bill Clinton's victory in the 1992 presidential election is to let rose Perot, who belongs to the conservative camp, stand out as the third party and share the votes of George Bush.
James understood what Simon was referring to and said: ”Perot has recently formed a reform party and has been constantly building momentum for himself in the media. However, Joseph team follow-up results show that the public response to his candidacy next year is not enthusiastic
”This is only temporary. Now Bush's reputation is still at the top because of his victory in the war at the beginning of the year, and the Democratic candidates have not come out. If Bush's war aura begins to fade next year, and the Democratic candidates will not be able to arouse public response, Perot's candidacy will probably win the support of a large number of people. ”
Simon thought for a moment and said, ”let's not pay too much attention to Perot for the moment. Before next year, the focus of operation is to help Clinton clean up his rotten affairs as much as possible.”
”Clinton still has reservations about us, not full trust. However, Hillary was very cooperative. She probably saw the sincerity of our bet this time. With her cooperation, Joseph has also helped sign three confidentiality agreements and solved a live cattle futures operation in disguised form James couldn't help shaking his head and said, ”don't you like Rooney Giuliani? I think he's worse than Giuliani in fact.”
”This is a man who can do things very well, and his shortcomings can also give us more room to operate. If it's Jimmy Carter, how much do you think we can gain even if we help each other get into the White House?”
Jimmy Carter, who was in power from 1977 to 1981, gave most people the impression of mediocrity and inaction. The president was also very fond of feathers, so he was even more timid. After four years in power, he basically had no achievements, so he was defeated by Ronald Reagan, who was an actor with shallow qualifications.
James also nodded his head and agreed that if there is too much moral cleanliness in everyone's present position, we really should not do anything.
After finishing his work here, Simon went to Denise entertainment east coast headquarters in Greenwich to deal with some things, and left for the west coast in the evening.
I left after dinner yesterday and arrived in Los Angeles. Today's dinner is just beginning to prepare.
Back at domay point, c-girl Claire Gaines is waiting for herself.
Because of ICAM's success, Claire has to devote most of her energy to the company, which needs to work more than 10 hours every day these days.
Simon is not a reluctant person. Now that his maid's career is on the right track, he will let her go. Claire will go to San Francisco tomorrow to start a full-time job.
Janet had been chatting with girl C. when she saw Simon coming back, she went up to kiss her husband and said she was going to check the dinner preparation, so she left the living room.
Simon sat down on the sofa, looked at the girl who was still wearing her favorite ol uniform, and said with a smile, ”how do you feel about escaping from westero?”
C girl helped Simon pour a glass of water and handed it to him. She sat down beside her boss, leaned over and looked at Simon with bright eyes and said, ”I haven't officially left my job. I'll still get my annual salary in the next few years. Whenever my boss needs me, I can come back at any time.”
”Is it OK to give up Tinkerbell?”
Girl c said without hesitation: ”of course, it's all given to me by my boss. It's nothing to give up.”
Simon looked at C girl's delicate face, feeling the good smell around him, and said, ”I want to reward you all of a sudden.”
Claire's eyes picked Simon nimbly. The little white hand sticking out of the black suit cuff rubbed slightly on his buttock skirt. With obvious provocation, he said, ”I can remember, but I can't be here. My wife will be angry.”Simon looked at the girl and said, ”have you misunderstood something?”
Claire fixed her chin and said, ”no, boss, you're too hard to handle. So, for me, some things are rewards. ”
”And then, will there be another big ambition or something?”
”I've had it for a long time, but in front of my wife, I think living is the most important thing.”
Simon thought about it and thought it was possible.
Since they got married last year, the outside world has been speculating about whether the two have signed a prenuptial agreement or what the content of the prenuptial agreement is.
The prenuptial agreement was signed.
Janet didn't ask for anything in the agreement. She felt like she was going to leave the house if she got divorced. However, Simon understood that there was no word ”divorce” in the dictionary between them.
If you really want to say something.
Maybe.
Only widowed.
Simon's attitude towards the world is alienation and indifference. Janet's unrestrained childishness conceals a kind of madness that can ignore all rules at any time. Women say that their ideal is to destroy the world at first. It's not just a talk.
A person with keen intuition, who has been around a woman for a long time, may be able to experience the hysteria that Janet may break out at any time.
Girl c obviously realized it, so she couldn't have the idea of replacing it.
Simon and Claire had a few laughs and got down to business.
The starting point of Tinkerbell is very low and high.
It's very low because, compared with the camera industry giants who have accumulated technology for decades, Tinkerbell is like a newborn with nothing.
High starting point, because the company relies on the whole westero system.
Such a company, if well managed, will grow very quickly. If it can't control the situation, it may be a big dream in the end.
C girl faces many problems, such as coping with the outbreak of the market, improving the capacity of ICAM, continuing to invest in research and development, establishing retail channels, improving after-sales service, etc. If this pass is passed, the winner will fail.
