Chapter 30: I asked you to make a daily payment, and you betrayed the country by the way?
The United States has a simple and classic institutional framework.
Separation of powers: Parliament, the President, and the Supreme Law, which are responsible for legislative, executive, and judicial powers.
For decades, driven by the powerful public opinion machine, the American model has been considered by many to be a model of top-level national design.
But a story is a story after all.
Model is relative, and this model is not without its shortcomings.
When establishing this system, the founding fathers did not have the wisdom to transcend time, leaving a fatal loophole.
The normative design of the election process is insufficient.
The first time many people truly understood American elections was during the 2020 election.
It was also from this controversial election that many people realized for the first time that America is really not that perfect.
Not without American elites noticing the systemic flaws in the campaign process.
Historically, campaign-related patches have been made one after another.
But all programmers know that new bugs will appear with every version update.
Sometimes when a patch is applied, a bunch of bugs will appear.
Writing programs can fix bugs slowly, but fixing campaign bugs is too troublesome.
Over time, bugs in the election process have been fixed over and over again, but in the end they are not perfect.
All congressional candidates and presidential candidates participating in the election in the United States will set up their own campaign support organizations.
Such as campaign committee, campaign office, etc.
But in addition to these legally permitted campaign auxiliary agencies, candidates also need some 'special' services.
They want to hire a professional team to do things that are inconvenient for them.
A gangster who only knows how to do rough work is obviously not qualified. At this time, Eris needs to appear.
Eris is not a native American. He comes from the western Balkans and grew up in a local dynamic group family.
After the disintegration of Mao Xiong, in order to adapt to the ever-changing era of globalization, he chose to leave his hometown and go to the United States to learn advanced experience.
The motivated and energetic boy meets the United States, which is full of opportunities.
As an immigrant with a special background, he was not accepted by the upper class circles in America.
But opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
With the help of his family's resources, at the age of thirty, he successfully helped his college classmate to be elected as a member of parliament in a certain place, and he became famous ever since.
Many candidates on the West Coast who are interested in serving the American people have heard of his name and are willing to believe in his successful experience.
It was the same this time for a certain candidate of the Iron Elephant Party.
He did not join that candidate's campaign office.
It's not that he doesn't want to join. In fact, he can provide much greater help to the candidate by being outside than by joining the campaign office.
"I like your idea, but I need to know your origins. Don't try to hide your origins, understand?"
Eris sat on a chair in the cafe with her feet crossed. When he spoke, his beard moved with his lips, and coupled with his sharp eyes, he looked extremely intimidating.
He pointed to his eyes and asked about the origin of Cheng Daqi.
Not frightened by Eris's question, Cheng Daqi replied calmly.
"Like I said, I'm from China and I'm an illegal immigrant.
I'm just here to make some money today, and I thought this idea might help you."
Number of illegal immigrants in the United States Tens of millions, and California is still a sanctuary state, with even more illegal immigrants.
In California, there is no legal risk for confessing one's illegal immigrant status, and Eris obviously will not threaten Daqi's personal safety for two thousand dollars.
"Illegal immigrants? Well, your point of view is indeed interesting, but it is not worth two thousand, and no one else needs it except me."
Putting down the arm rubbing his beard, Eris started bargaining directly.
"Eight hundred dollars, this is the highest price I can accept."
"Deal!"
Without a second of delay, Cheng Daqi immediately agreed.
Eris and Lisa are different, and the strengths and weaknesses of cooperation are also different.
As the leader of a team dedicated to serving candidates, Eris is not easy to deal with.
Maybe Cheng Daqi agreed too quickly, and Eris didn’t react.
He even regretted raising the price.
His expectation was 1,500 dollars to buy a hush fee. But now I can get it for 800 dollars, and I can get it without any counter-offer.
This gave him a strange feeling.
Looks like you were ripped off?
But it cost twice as much as the expected 1,500 yuan, so it doesn’t seem to be considered a scam.
Ruzai.
Shrugging, Eris explained without too much entanglement.
"Don't talk about this point of view with anyone again, do you understand? After selling this point of view to me, it belongs to one of my clients, so don't cause trouble for me."
Hearing Eris's words, Cheng Daqi Weiwei He frowned and replied.
"When I held the sign today, ABC was doing the interview. I told the reporter once again, will this have any impact?"
He didn't know that the so-called interview was a live broadcast, and ABC's subscription The client has watched the entire interview process on TV.
“Is it a live broadcast?”
Cheng Daqi's words made Eris' face darken.
Today's sign-raising is nominally in support of the Elephant Party's regional council candidate. With his operation, if successful, it can be regarded as the candidate's views.
But this is not in line with Eris's ideas.
This explosive point of view must at least be sold to a candidate for Congress or Senate. It will be a huge loss if it is wasted on this idiot regional congressional candidate.
“No, the reporter clearly told me no.”
Shaking his head, Cheng Daqi replied.
“It’s okay if it’s not a live broadcast.”
Eris smiled and spoke, but his smile was just a fake social smile.
"I have a lot of friends on the West Coast. I will talk to people at ABC. You are a smart man, do you understand what I mean?"
Cheng Daqi took over Eris. He handed over the money and nodded in reply.
"I understand what you mean, add a bald eagle. If I have any such opinions in the future, I can come to you directly."
High-end connections will not appear out of thin air. The best policy is to make a shot when you have the opportunity.
Chengdaqi never sits back and lets an opportunity pass him by.
“I like smart people, Chan.”
Leaving the cafe, Cheng Daqi smiled at Sani who was impatient to wait.
"Sani, I want to treat you to dinner and thank you for introducing me to the opportunity to make a fortune."
The black girl rolled her eyes, she a little bit despised the act of betraying the motherland for a big deal.
I am a homeless person, I have no fixed place to live, and I do not love my country.
But this does not affect my rejection of my traitorous neighbors.
It will not affect eating.
As a homeless person, it is impossible not to be active in making a living.
However, before eating, Sani had a question that he really wanted to know.
"He really gave you two thousand dollars? Two thousand dollars would make you a traitor?"
The black girl's question was indeed rude.
How can you curse someone in person?
Cheng Daqi answered dumbfounded.
“I only sold it for 800, but why do you think I am betraying my country?”
“I just never went to school, and it’s not like I don’t know anything!”
< br>"Sani, you really don't understand."
Cheng Daqi turned on his phone and studied the bald eagle of Eris.
"Stop worrying about this, just choose a restaurant. Anything under fifty dollars."
Seeing the attitude of a master who doesn't take betrayal of his country seriously, Sani chose the restaurant fiercely.
You are a traitorous piece of shit. I introduced you to make a daily settlement. After you finish the daily settlement, you will sell it and betray the country.
I want to eat it hard!
Her symptoms were exactly the same as Lisa's.
