Chapter 1385 (1/2)
For Alicia, the first half of 2000 was also like a dream, a big dream of the first lady. Now that she wakes up, she also falls into depression, confusion and hope for the future. This roller coaster like life experience makes her and Songya share a common language.
As a former politician's wife, she is a familiar face in the political arena of the United States, but she is also a completely new outsider. Before the real fierce election campaign starts, she must do a lot of preparatory work, such as image making, public opinion building, accumulating voters' affinity and so on. This is about to start, and there is not much time to waste.
Fortunately, Peter managed to leave Gore enough political legacy. Peter still has a lot of supporters among Chicago voters. In addition, her personal public image as a good wife in American tradition is more pleasing than Peter, who has been plagued by scandal. As a named partner of a top law firm, she once made a big splash in the Americana case, It should be easy to pick a state attorney next year.
This plan will no longer maintain a close relationship with her, but one of the big men in Chicago politics in the future? Her new identity and new role are exciting and high. Songya will still give money. And before she really announces her candidacy for cook county prosecutor, the legal business between the two sides needs to be decoupled and arranged in advance, so there are more opportunities for them to meet.
In the middle of May, the New York stock market is still going down. After throwing 100 million dollars to win the Boeing 757 in the moat, song Ya knows that there are not many people who sympathize with his huge losses in the stock market disaster. He is still confused about the way ahead, but he enjoys the concern from Morin and the outside world. He can feel that some people who are really good to him are coaxing him Even when I met or called my ex-wife, I miraculously set a new record that I didn't fight for half a month and still keep it.
”She's very photogenic. No one in Nancheng doesn't like her.”
In the morning, Sonya, Axelrod, Eli and others are in the office to watch the news of Alicia's charity activities in Reverend William's south city church yesterday. In the picture, Alicia leads her son and daughter to a pair of tool men, surrounded by William, aunt Susie, Connie, Tony and other local black celebrities, and smiles with affinity.
Eli is very satisfied with the effect of this exposure. This is not an election. If she wants to be a cook county prosecutor, the black vote in Chicago is very important to Alicia.
”I'm afraid there will be African American female opponents.”
Although he belongs to the little Dali sect politically, Axelrod, who is also employed by Sonya, still gives a professional reminder.
”Will mayor Daley introduce such a candidate?” Song Ya asked.
Gore compromised with Peter, and Peter resigned readily. Little Daly promised that he would not trouble Peter any more, but the politician's mouth is deceitful. Next year, he has a chance to make trouble again, to support another candidate to snipe Alicia.
”I don't know. It's too early to worry about that.”
Axelrod looked at the ceiling and calculated for a while. ”If I'm little Daly, it's not too late to wait until next year to see how Gore arranges Peter.”
Indeed, as a veteran, Axelrod is Jewish. Whether he is a public relations, campaign or power broker, his business is bigger and higher-level than Eli's. moreover, he is colder than Eli and will not bring in too much personal feelings and loyalty.
Of course, this also makes his personal relationship with song Ya quite far away, both sides are just business employment relationship, song Ya won't let him know too many secrets.
Like now.
”What else do you want, aplus?”
Axelrod noticed that Sonya kept watching the time and answering the phone during the meeting, so he asked.
”Yes, I'm going to Los Angeles for an appointment in the evening.”
Songya nodded, then the phone rang again, he answered, there came David Gefen's familiar voice, ”haven't you started yet? Don't be late, aplus. It's important for us tonight. ” David Gefen didn't know how many times he called to urge him, ”it's a rare opportunity. Don't run into any sudden weather. The plane is delayed...”
”I have a plan. Don't worry.”
Song Ya can understand David Gefen's nervousness and resentment in his tone. The money he invested in the two websites of modern photography and stereo review was stopped indefinitely because of the stock market crash. It means that the investment that he intended to pick up money was temporarily wasted. Even if it was wrong in the big environment, it was always unpleasant, and what happened tonight was really very important to them.
”Then we'll leave.”
Axelrod and Eli are on their way.
”All right, Sloan, please give it to me.” Song ya, who was talking on the phone, nodded and watched them and their subordinates leave the office.
”That man doesn't often appear in Hollywood social occasions at this time, aplus. It's hard to find such a good opportunity after today. It's not a family game. We can't be too careful. ”
