Chapter 576 (1/2)
Boeing 767 landed at San Jose Airport in Bay Area in more than half an hour.
Simon and Natasha henstretch walked out of the front cabin talking and laughing. Girl a and Raul Bradley met them and got off the plane together.
Raul Bradley looks at Natasha henstretch quietly. The 19-year-old girl looks at the man next to her with joy, admiration, flattery and a little less secret awe.
Obviously, in the past half an hour, they got along very well, not in the least. This year is another election year for the mayor of New York.
The current mayor, David Dinkins, has a second fight against New York City's former prosecutor, Rudy Giuliani.
In the election four years ago, Rudy Giuliani lost to David Dinkins, and the campaign funds and media support provided by westrow system played a great role.
This time, from the beginning of the election, Rudy Giuliani pointed his finger at the ”big money” of the westrow system behind David dingins.
In recent years, the vistrow system has become more and more popular. When the media and the public marvel at Simon's rapid growth of personal wealth, there are inevitably more and more criticisms against this newly rising financial group.
David Dinkins is a very experienced politician. He may have enough new ideas for his re-election. Therefore, Dinkins resolutely chose to take the initiative to draw a line with the westero system, and even returned some election funds related to the westero system.
Simon had expected the fickleness of politicians, but he didn't expect Dinkins to be so straightforward.
The other side even disrupted the political layout of westrow system in New York.
You know, the westero system was intended to continue to support Dinkins at the beginning. When the other party suddenly defected, the westero system could not turn to other candidates at all, unless it switched to the Republican Party, which was obviously more impractical.
David Dinkins took the initiative to draw the line, and the westero system did not go up.
However, for such a world-class political, economic and cultural city as New York, many of the headquarters of westrow's subsidiaries are located here, so it is impossible to give up infiltrating into the city's politics. Simon finally decided to turn all the resources originally planned to invest in Dinkins to the fight for New York City councillors.
The final vote in the mayoral election will be held in early November.
The sudden arrival of the local media in New York can kill two birds with one stone. It not only makes trouble for the construction of the westero building project, which Simon attaches great importance to, but also attacks the support rate of David Dinkins.
As a result, when the small newspaper named ”Manhattan metropolitan” stirred up the topic, the New York Times, the daily news and other newspapers began to follow up.
What Simon didn't expect is still behind.
This morning, without any communication with the westero system at all, David Dinkins made it clear at his weekly press conference that he had no interest in the westero system. After that, he also said publicly that the New York City Labor Department would cooperate with the construction workers' Union to investigate the safety of the construction site of the westero building.
There is a three hour time difference between the East and west coasts.
Simon left from the west coast to fly to New York. At the request of the New York City Government and the local workers' Union, all the workers at the construction site of the westero building had been withdrawn.
The westero building was forced to shut down.
If it's other real estate companies, it's not impossible for large projects of one billion US dollars to shut down suddenly, or for some serious cases, the enterprises to be dragged down.
As the polling day approaches, David Dinkins has shown a clear disadvantage in front of Rudy Giuliani.
To Simon, it's even a bit of a go for the ride when he suddenly makes trouble with the westero building project.
From the current mayor's speech at the press conference, we can see that the other side is not on the spur of the moment.
New immigrants have always been the basic target for the Democratic Party to win over as much as possible.
During his re-election campaign, David Dinkins has been trying his best to promote the population diversification of New York during his tenure.
It is self-evident what ”pluralism” here means.
Therefore, although illegal workers do not have the right to vote in the Federation for the time being, it is inevitable that they will offend the immigrant groups in New York City if they are investigated at the same time.
The shrewd calculation of the old politicians is simply superb.
Simon on the plane to New York, more detailed understanding of a series of circumstances, but only sneer.
That's how Hillary Clinton in her memory calculated her presidency.
In the 2008 election, Wall Street originally supported Hillary Clinton. As a result, the powerful woman in politics saw that the media and the public were hostile to Wall Street because of the economic crisis. She had just taken the political contributions from Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other investment banks. In a twinkling of an eye, she pointed the spearhead at Wall Street and urged Congress to formulate more stringent regulatory laws against Wall Street.
In the end, Wall Street turned upside down and Hillary didn't even get the party candidate.David Dinkins's behavior is almost the same as Hillary in Simon's memory.
In other words, the way politicians think and behave has always been the same.
Of course, there must be more other factors in the two events. Hillary does not necessarily lose the chance to attack the presidency completely without the support of Wall Street, and David Dinkins probably does not turn over the westero system just for his re-election.
With the rapid expansion of the westero system, Simon has become the world's first one with a hundred billion dollar fortune. The Internet industry is becoming more and more large in output value. The opposition between igritte and traditional paper media
If it's really just security issues and illegal labor that cause the closure of the westero building, Simon may just leave the matter to James Leibold.
