Chapter 578 (1/2)
Simon spent half an hour carefully looking through some of the papers Joseph schrap had brought.
In order to snipe David Dinkins, the westrow system is expected to invest about $6 million in the last month of the election campaign. Several statements of expenditure that have been and will be paid are actually equivalent to a set of political operation plans.
Putting down the last folder, Simon looked up and asked Joseph, ”have all these expenses been reviewed by the team of lawyers?”
Joseph schrap nodded and said, ”of course, all our expenditures are compliant, and there is no legal justification.”
There are some Subtext in Joseph's words.
It does not violate election laws and regulations. However, once it is made public, it will inevitably lead to criticism from the media and the public.
Simon of course understands that, and he just needs to keep it from breaking the law.
As for criticism, every political figure funded by the National Rifle Association has long been criticized by gun control forces, but the National Rifle Association is still the most powerful political lobbying group in the United States.
If you're worried about public criticism, you can't do anything.
Even if the federal government changes the election rules because of the pressure of public opinion, everyone just continues to play games in another framework.
Although it is a new capital regulation that has just emerged in recent years, Simon knows that if he wants to become a player in the federal political and economic system, he must abide by many established rules, even if the rules made by these old players are very unfair to the latecomers. Only with enough accumulation in the rule system can you become a new rule maker.
Of course, there are rules on the surface, but in private, there is another set of unknown rules.
Hearing Joseph's promise, Simon didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he said, ”there's one more thing. Please sort out the information of the core members of the cabinet of this municipal government for me as soon as possible.”
Joseph Snape's eyelids were adjusted.
Simon's sudden request for such a list is obviously intended to settle the accounts in the future.
David Dinkins is 66 years old this year. If he can't be reelected as mayor of New York, his political career will basically come to an end. This is probably the reason why the other party will fight for reelection even if he doesn't hesitate to fight against the westero system. However, many of the city government cabinet teams behind David Dinkins still have great political prospects. Even if they don't continue to work in politics in the future, they will turn to other private industries with high income, such as finance, lawyers and public relations.
Once David Dinkins loses the election this time, he will certainly continue to face the pressure of the westrow system.
Joseph did not expect that Simon would expand the scope of the attack to the entire Dinkins cabinet team. This will certainly have a more powerful deterrent effect, but it will also offend more people.
After a little hesitation, Joseph schrap said, ”Simon, some people in the city government have a very good relationship with us.”
Simon is really planning to block the Dinkins cabinet.
David Dinkins, a 66 year old man, lost the position of mayor of New York. He almost had nothing. The biggest way for westrow system to suppress him in the future is to prevent him from providing for the elderly in the rich private sector.
There is no habit of liquidation in American politics, let alone personal injury. Simon does not intend to break this rule.
However, just this will certainly not let some people remember the lesson.
Simon wants to express an attitude this time. If you take advantage of the westero system and turn away from others, I will not only bring you bad luck, but also implicate everyone around you.
That's right.
This is LianZuo.
Of course, Simon also knows that he can't really ban all the cabinet members of the municipal government, because some of them may only be gilded and have greater political connections behind them. Some of them may still be Dinkins's political opponents, just the result of Dinkins's compromise with the hostile parties. There are also some people who may have been planted by the westero system itself.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Joseph schrap's face, Simon quickly waved his hand: ”come on, you don't have to worry about this. Well, if you have a good relationship with the schlaps, you can also tell me
The schrap family has been engaged in political lobbying for several generations. It is inevitable that they have intricate connections and even interests in federal politics, especially in New York.
When Joseph schrap heard the speech, his expression didn't soften much. On the contrary, he had some regrets.
The schrap family is now completely serving Simon, and Joseph schrap can see that his young boss is a very loyal person. It's hard to say whether his hesitation will make Simon have other ideas about him.
With this in mind, Joseph schrap quickly said: ”Simon, our family is not very familiar with people in the Dinkins cabinet team, but some of them do have a good relationship with us, and they have been quietly divulging all kinds of information to us during this period. What's more, some of them, if we aim at them, will not only have little effect, but also set us up a stronger enemy than Dinkins. ”Simon listened to Joseph's words with the meaning of defense, but nodded slightly and said: ”I'll pay attention. In addition, we need to start preparing for next year's mid-term election. You can find time to compile a plan for me. ”
Seeing that Simon didn't give himself the statistics about the Dinkins cabinet team, Joseph shipper was disappointed, but he soon got up to deal with Simon's new topic about next year's mid-term election.
At the beginning, the westero system quietly helped Clinton deal with a lot of problems during her tenure in Arkansas. Since Bill Clinton came to power, there has been no ”white water case” in which the Clintons were suspected of trading land for profit, and no ”futures door” in which Hillary earned $100000 by using $1000 in live cattle futures trading Many former lovers have not come out to reveal their secret relationship with the president.
However, the Clintons are not a pair of carefree couples.
Less than a year after taking office, in the first half of the year, in order to arrange his friends to undertake the White House travel business, it caused an investigation. Recently, the special plane stopped on the runway to have a haircut, which was exposed by the media. All kinds of incidents still emerge in endlessly. In addition, the health care bill reform and the new gun control bill that Clinton is promoting have offended many vested interest groups. It is difficult for the Democratic Party to get rid of the ”pendulum curse” of the ruling party in next year's mid-term elections.
In Simon's memory, in the 1994 mid-term election, the Democratic Party's defeat was much more serious than originally expected. It was a complete defeat. The majority of seats in both the house and the Senate were all taken away by the Republican Party, which also led to many constraints of the Republican Party in the later period of Clinton's administration.
Moreover, next year's mid-term election will be accompanied by the re division of constituencies and the introduction of many old political figures, so it will be a big new reshuffle.
For the westrow system, it will also be a crucial shuffle.
Simon will also take advantage of next year's mid-term elections to launch a plan that both sides bet at the same time, quietly supporting some Republican political forces.
After talking about things, Simon sent Joseph away and returned to the villa. Becky hope, the B girl, welcomed him.
”Boss, here are some girl's resumes recently. Would you like to have a look?”
Last time, Simon decided to train a group of maids from scratch. Simon gave girl b the task of selecting girls from Eastern Europe and Latin America.
It's actually very easy.
Eastern Europe and Latin America as important model exporting countries, model training has formed a very evening screening system.
As a small channel for local girls to get ahead, many girls begin to participate in model training classes from the age of seven or eight. At the same time, countless junior talent agencies choose suitable girls everywhere for training and send them to various model competitions or higher professional model agencies.
In a word, a large number of girls will be led astray in this process.
Or, to be exact, the number of misguided girls far exceeds that of professional models, and there are few girls who can make their mark in the fashion industry.
B girl to do, just from the junior talent agency call file, and then a certain background investigation and other aspects of screening.
Simon has always attached great importance to the personal background of the girls around him. If his parents have criminal records or other bad habits, they will pass directly, because girls from such families often have various personality defects, and Simon doesn't want their parents to pester them in the future.
Looking at the thick stack of files in B girl's hand, Simon shook his head and said, ”help me make an electronic file. I'll take time to read it.” Then he looked at B girl's black suit and said with a smile, ”are you ready for the evening dress? This dress is not suitable.”
Girl b was looked at by Simon, nodded a little embarrassed, and asked casually, ”does the boss want to see it?”
Cersei capital's black rock asset management company has just completed another $5 billion investment fund raising recently. Tonight, it specially held a business cocktail party to entertain investors from all sides. Since Simon is in New York, he is sure to show his face as the boss.
B girl is preparing to build alpha company. The main clients of financial information company are all kinds of Wall Street funds and high net worth investors in all aspects. Simon conveniently plans to take her to expand her contacts.
”There's a lot of time to watch in the evening,” Simon said, shaking his head with a smile. ”What about Naga and them?”
