Chapter 271: Think about it and get a little excited
Winnie suddenly wanted to run for Orange County in Los Angeles.
This was a real surprise for Abel.
In America, politics is actually a kind of business.
Why is it a transaction?
Because here... it is legal to collect money, please note that it is completely legal in law! Of course, their methods are much more skillful than those on the opposite side of the Pacific!
Officials here, especially high-ranking officials, usually go to a consulting company or various companies to serve as consultants or directors after leaving office.
I don’t have to do anything every day, I just need to help the company lobby when I need it. The salary is very high, starting from one million US dollars or tens of million US dollars.
In addition to this, there are two more naked examples... The most classic examples are the previous President, His Excellency Ao Guanhai.
After he retired, a publishing house immediately approached him and asked him to publish an autobiography, with a royalty of 60 million US dollars!
$60 million!
It's almost up to the royalties of Harry Potter's best-selling books in the world!
Don’t the Americans like to read Harry Potter, their President’s autobiography? Are the people here so politically conscious?
What is more worth mentioning is that the 60 million US dollars was given directly before Comrade Ao Guanhai's autobiography was written.
The publishing house’s meaning is very obvious: you spend the money first, and write down the book slowly...
hehe……
If 60 million US dollars is not enough and a president is worthy of these, then you can take a look at the following example.
The following example is much lower.
This time he is the mayor of New York City.
There was once a famous New York mayor. He never received an annual salary of $2 million a year. He insisted on only getting $1 a year. How honest it is!
By the way, he spent $69 million in campaign funds to run for mayor, and what is even more surprising is that he paid out of his own pocket!
By the way, during his 12 years as mayor of New York, in order to better perform his mayor duties, he paid $650 million out of his own pocket in 12 years!
How great this is, how honest it is. If the mayors of this world are like this, then this country must be the world's largest power!
America, the country where New York is located, is the world's number one power!
Is this really the case?
hehe……
Let me mention here that when the mayor, Bloomberg, had only $1 billion in personal assets when he first became the mayor of New York City. Then 12 years later, he retired from the position of mayor of New York, and his assets increased from the original $1 billion to $27 billion.
27 times, 12 years, an average of more than twice a year. Mr. Bloomberg is so great. He is so honest that he has paid so much for New York. While being the mayor of New York, he can also work hard to run his own industry and allow his assets to develop super leap.
This is definitely a super talent!
Is this really the reality?
hehe……
After becoming the mayor of New York City, Bloomberg vigorously developed the journalism industry and reached cooperation with Wall Street's financial and news field.
A series of radio, websites and television stations named after him have been opened.
Especially the Bloomberg News Agency, which he founded before he was elected, developed into the largest company in the financial information market during his election.
So if you understand, he doesn't have to be greedy at all. He is a New York decision-maker and can promulgate economic policies that are beneficial to his business behavior.
I used it several times in a row, and gave two examples in a row.
This is to show that in Abel's view, it is really a big deal to engage in politics in the United States! A Bloomberg without a plug-in can spend 12 years to increase his assets by 27 times.
If I could sit in that position.
Tsk tsk...
That speed of making money is so hard to even think about!
This kind of thing is already blatant here. If the above examples are still complicated, there is a simpler and more crude metaphor: I am a big boss in New York, my family sells electric cars and shared bicycles, and I charge heavy taxes on those who drive fuel vehicles...
Next, Bloomberg, the retired one, is the best example.
On top of black Cadillac.
Abel asked Winnie: "You want to run for Orange County? Where is the position you run for? County Councilor?!"
"uh-huh!"
Winnie nodded.
"In this midterm election, an Orange County councillor had some physical accidents and could not continue to perform his position. The people of Orange County cannot be missing a mouthpiece that helps them. My father and their friends think I am very suitable to be the mouthpiece of Orange County."
This was so high-sounding that Abel was even speechless.
He asked, "Have you been there?"
Winnie hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Does it count as driving?"
Abel replied: "Haha..."
Orange County, a relatively wealthy county located in southern California, has an area of 2,455 square kilometers and a population of the third county throughout the next week.
This is not a small place.
If its economic strength and territory population status are compared with Guangdong provinces in California and China, it will probably be the same as Haizhu in the Pearl River Delta, or even higher.
As for a county councillor, the status is probably a person with real power - a representative, a representative, and a political association member.
If it were East Asia, most of these rights and positions could be borne by some elites who were 40 years old.
But switch to this side.
Winnie is only 23 years old this year.
"Are you sure of success?" asked Abel.
Winnie answered only one voice with certainty: "Yeah."
All right……
That's so sure. But it seems that you can understand it after thinking about it. This is the daughter of the Adams family. Even if she doesn't do much, she will promote her identity and the glorious past of her ancestors during the election.
I guess they can get a bunch of votes.
Here, this kind of bloodline and ancestors are not something that is too secretive, but rather a kind of glory, a kind of glory that ordinary people will subconsciously follow when they see it.
Bloodline is even more deeply rooted here.
Abel did not give up. As Winnie's man, when his woman wanted to do something, she would not be able to stand by and watch!
"Where is the political donation? Is this missing?"
Winnie gave him a handsome look and said sweetly: "It's just a county councillor! How much donation will it take?"
"All right……"
Abel thought about it, too. A New York City mayor, one of the most prosperous cities in the world, is so much higher than a county council member, and only costs $69 million, which is half the price he bought at No. 67, Beverly Park Community.
A county councillor in Orange County is estimated to spend up to hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.
Winnie has another identity as the Adams family, and the cost is probably even less.
And now is the end of the midterm elections, and the time when the competition between the Elephant and the Donkey Party is the most intense, and this pond in America has become muddy water.
It is the most suitable time to stumble.
I guess Abel Adams thought so too, and seized such a good opportunity to directly push his daughter to the top.
Thinking of Winnie's possible future as a county councilman, a state government official who seems to be of a low level.
He can say to others in the future:
I have never been a county councillor, but I have been a county councillor!
Chapter completed!
