Chapter 1128 - A Heartfelt Speech (2/2)
In short, although UA hostility toward Xin created a certain impact on Future Group’s market share in North America, the losses were quite limited, so Jiang Chen didn’t consider it an area of concern. His foundation was the virtual reality network, and now, he had the addition of the Global Power Grid. As long as these two initiatives remained untouched, Future Group would be unshakable.

“I have money, I’m rich. I’m very rich!”
“So? I don’t care how much money the Wall Street will give me!”
“I assure you that if you vote for me, at least your vote won’t show up in the pockets of Wall Street. Only I can represent your interests; only I can represent the UA dream. Yes, only me!”
In a park in Nevada.
People shouted frantically as they cheered and screamed. Countless arms were raised up, slogans of their support were held, flags were waving in the air as supporters repeatedly shouted the same name.
The eyes of the man on stage were half-narrowed, and his bright orange face had an arrogant and undisguised smile.
He opened his arms and accepted the cheers of the voters with his chin, but he gained a respect that other candidates couldn’t receive from bending down.
He knew what they needed the most.
And what they needed was exactly what he could give!
Choosing the right time to raise his hand and signal everyone to listen, the man fixed the microphone and waved his index finger while speaking with the greatest strength of his life.
“We shouldn’t send Kerry, someone who has no idea how to negotiate at all. He will sign a laughable and irritating agreement with them. Watch them use our money to make weapons and act aggressively on the negotiating table.”
“You know who I’m talking about? That’s right! It’s him! The person who can match him can only be a man manlier than him, not an old woman without a proper menstrual cycle!”
“Tell me—will you vote for that old lady?”
The expressions of many female voters suddenly changed and they immediately lost interest. They not only smashed the signs they held, but they also raised their middle fingers and booed. But the cheers under the stage grew even louder, drowning out their booing amidst the tide of cheers.
They were fed up with being politically correct and fed up with politicians who only made empty promises. Now, someone finally stood up. Even if he might not necessarily be smart enough, considering what he just said, he shared the same perspective as many who stood there!
“The UA dream has been shattered! I will reshape the UA dream, make it bigger, better, stronger, and allow it to return to greatness. Thank you.”
The man bowed down and stepped down from the podium amidst thunderous cheers.
No one noticed this impassioned election speech, and no one even noticed this insignificant candidate.
Hill was still busy dealing with the aftermath of the event as she desperately tried to reunite the allies that started to pull apart. Accompanied by Daniel Morgan, Kerry collected evidence of scandal of a particular person and frequently contacted members of the party. He quietly prepared for the election in the coming year and prepared to strike his “big boss” at the perfect time.
