Chapter 941 (1/2)
The Shura hall was close at hand and could not provide services immediately. Song Ya pocketed the money and chatted with Sloan about the election.
Next month is the day of primary elections. In terms of political investment, Michelle's husband is almost certain to win. He has the absolute advantage in the one-on-one fight with his opponent from June to November. He has a strong campaign team and fund-raising ability. As long as there is no big accident, he has reserved a seat in the Illinois Senate Yes.
Other donors, such as the current chief commander, deputy commander and Underwood, are also very stable. Only Russell, the drunkard who Underwood supports, is still a few points behind his opponent in the opinion poll, and his election is faltering.
”Do you have any suggestions?”
Song Ya asked his political adviser, ”it seems that Russell's election of the federal representative seems to be beyond his personal ability. Most of the voters in the constituency he is transferring to are white blue collar workers and their families. I can't help endorsing it.”
”Russell is very good at getting along with the workers. Now it's just because of the rumor that Dow may close down the fluorescent factory in Chicago. The accusation from the fluorescent factory workers that he escaped from the original constituency has spread to the new constituency. You know, blue collar workers have their own communication channels.”
Sloan's business level can't be said.
”Maybe ask the governor to help stand on the stage?” Song Ya asked.
”Your support is interesting enough, aplus, and the contributions you provide from various sources to politicians are far beyond what a black singer would do. Even if you have promised Underwood, even if Russell can't be elected, I can't think of how thick Underwood would blame you
Sloan took the opportunity to comment. ”I've studied your support for politicians over the years, and I find that you're not a qualified financier at all. It's not good to always give politicians more than average money.”
”Politicians have helped me solve a lot of problems, otherwise I will not be able to achieve what I am now.” Song Ya replied.
”The general direction is right, but the politicians are tired of the money owners who always have troubles and need help. They have to take extra risks for this. Most politicians don't like any uncontrollable things. And it's not good for you. It can make you intimidated or abandoned by politicians
”Gold owners and politicians have their own responsibilities, obligations and tacit understanding,” Sloan said. ”The ideal situation is that after establishing a relationship, the politicians will help you with your business, so that your interest structure will be more stable and you will be in a psychological comfort zone with each other. After binding to a certain extent, everyone has the handle of each other, and if there is any trouble, it is easy to say
”But at present, the helpless fact is that I don't want to, but I can't avoid all kinds of inexplicable troubles. Take Kunes as an example. If I'm white, do I still need to spend so much money?” Song Ya asked.
”In short, I don't think it's good. You have to let politicians make more money for you. That's what they should do. It's not always linked to murder, treason and so on, although I understand that you can't control it for the time being.” ”If you give more and take less, they'll have to whisper in their hearts, and they'll either investigate more actively if you're in trouble, or if you've collected money like Gore, you'll stay at a considerable distance with caution, or they'll take you as a bully,” Sloan said
”Well.”
Song Ya listened to this sentence. Didn't Underwood cheat himself to buy Bain company? I don't know what's going on. I always have a mentality of being inferior to politicians before. I really need to adjust, ”how do you think I can ask them to repay me and help me make money after this election year?”
”Politicians can use taxpayers' money or public funds. Any omission of funding or relief is a gift. For example, after Michelle's husband is elected, he will have some power in the Illinois legislature...”
Sloan said: ”his husband and wife together manage hundreds of millions of semi public funds and charitable donations, which are basically used for the black community. But your a + CN is the black media, or the black serious media based in Chicago. Don't you deserve the assistance of the government and relevant organizations like the inner City Broadcasting Company? You're not saying that a + CN can't bear to pay for it. Oprah seems to want to take advantage of the fire? Oprah offers a low price and may compete with you for control of the company. However, the government grants or special funds are much more generous. Those are not politicians' own money, and they have little incentive to keep an eye on your specific business for a long time... ”
”That makes sense. Keep going.”
