Chapter 388 The Wind Rises in Nanhua 2
A few days ago, DC.
When Washington, the founding father and first commander-in-chief of the United States, chose this place as his capital, it was just a plain with bushes. The main buildings were wooden cottages. It was even named Columbus. The only The advantage is low land prices.
However, after more than two hundred years of development, as the United States has gradually developed from a peripheral country to a global empire, the DC Special Administrative Region has also been changing at an unprecedented rate of development.
The best and most representative political elites in the world gather here. Some of them are from fishermen on the southern coast, some are from old industrial cities in the Great Lakes region, and some are from overseas trusteeships. By the way, there are also mistresses, but it’s not important. They come from hundreds of different places around the world, and each of them carries the foundation on which the empire’s hegemony relies.
The members of Congress on Capitol Hill are of different races, including Germans, Italians, Hispanics, Old Saxons, Scots, and, well, blacks. The extremely complex racial affiliation represents the background of the United States as a country dominated by immigrants.
Outside the White House and outside Capitol Hill, there are two hidden power systems in DC: the executive agency and the lobbying group.
The core of the former is civil servants, while the latter helps members of parliament to seek short-term rent-seeking of power - similar to a short-term love connection, this metaphor is not very decent, or in other words, very dishonorable.
But in fact, this is also true. The power of congressmen does not lie in their ability to propose proposals, because even if they propose proposals, they may not be passed. Their role is only to vote, and the lobbying group is to let them vote.
Throwing away the complicated payment methods, the process can be roughly understood as ‘tell me how much you pay per time’.
And because of the endless variety of bills in the U.S. Congress, and the reality that capital groups and their agents are constantly gaming, this makes the ‘tickets’ of the congressmen less valuable from a monetization perspective.
It is difficult to 'buy' votes for important members such as Nancy, Prime Minister Turtle, and even Sister Haha, but the prices for others are not too high - hundreds of people are waiting for food with their mouths open, competition fierce.
But this is a secret power system, because its nature is somewhat borderline legal. Therefore, it is extremely difficult for most people in need to get started. But it’s also the only difficulty.
As it happens, Benny knows where the door is.
Remember, this Xiao Deng got into the Disney CEO's discernment through the connections of the little party prince - let's get to know the well-connected staff.
After accepting Old Crusoe's olive branch and joining the new force founded by Cheng Daqi, Benny's first task was to go to DC to deal with the Secretary of State of the United States, Mike Pompeo.
So, he flew to DC alone last night, bought a bouquet of flowers on the roadside, and then knocked on the door of his college classmate.
He found the door that was difficult for most people to find with only a bouquet of flowers and a hanging. After a fierce battle, he hugged his old friend who now works at a well-known think tank. Benny asked as he touched it.
“Do you know Mike Peng?”
“That idiot? Everyone in DC knows him, what are you doing with him?”
"Because he is stupid. Some people want to get in touch with him. I am an errand boy."
"So, you have changed your job now?"
"Well, you know, back then, Not proposing to you is the most regretful thing in my life. I now have to pay almost 100,000 dollars in alimony every month. "
No matter how you are a hero, under the divorce laws of the United States. , Benny also has to mutter in his heart every day, what to do with next month's alimony.
This old man has been married and divorced many times. After a few divorce lawsuits, he has almost entered the state of raising more than a dozen people by himself.
Sometimes he would think that it would be better to find a more reliable college classmate to marry. At least he would be familiar with those girls after experiencing long-term relationships.
"Come on, I have no intention of getting married. If I have money, why don't I order a male model? You're not tough enough!"
The words of my old sweetheart were so heartbreaking that Benny was speechless for a moment. Then he said fiercely.
“Okay, okay, do it again, I’ll show you how big Daddy Benny is.”
“Poor man, please be more confident, is your self-esteem so weak?”
It hurts even more, Benny said bitterly.
"So I want to meet Mike Peng, do you have any channels?"
The old friend held Benny's face and kissed it, comforting the frustrated old friend. He said immediately.
“Let me think about it, the Secretary-General of the North American Ethnic Women’s Human Rights Development Foundation is a relative of Mike Peng. Let me help you contact him. By the way, who are you working for now? It’s not easy for Disney to pry them away, right?”
This is the essence of the secret power network in DC - poor information, Benny’s old friend knows exactly where the relatives of the big shots are, and knows who the secretaries are. is the real central figure.
On Capitol Hill, members are very busy, and their secretaries are no less generous. The secretaries of some well-known members even have more power than many members.
Through these small roles, lobbying organizations can leverage huge political resources, thereby achieving the best of both worlds.
For example, a capital group from abroad wants to buy a road. The manager of the think tank that Lao Xianghao works for looks like a think tank but is actually a lobbying group. The manager of the lobbying group receives the order and the price charged is the price of buying a congressman. However, Lao Xianghao only has to find the corresponding one. Secretaries, assistants, and relatives of congressmen can easily get things done.
Helping people get things done will result in considerable profits, and how much lubrication costs can be saved in the process depends on the level of different lobbying organizations.
As for the latter question, Benny’s employment situation is not a secret in the circle. He works for Semitic Capital, which is also a good job.
Therefore, his old friend was curious about who Benny's new employer was.
"Mr. Joel Dracula, I work in his institute, honorary director, chief researcher."
"That unlucky guy is not paralyzed."
Lao Qiao’s tragic story was not spread in the news, but everyone who should know knew it.
Touching the long, smooth hair of his old friend, Benny sighed.
"So, you can think that I work for Wolfe, Wolfe Dracula of the California Elephant Party, do you know him?"
"When the old vampire dies and the younger vampire takes over, you are still here Working for the Semitic Wanderers, Ben, don't you feel any guilt in your heart?"
Benny was stunned for a moment, and the woman in his arms broke away from his arms and stood up to pick up the water glass.
In the room, the orange ambient light shone on the girl's body. Looking at the beautiful curves full of muscle lines, Benny's memory quickly returned to more than ten years ago.
Time passes very quickly, but there are still people who have not changed. This kind of thing is cool, but for people like Benny, it is a bit cruel.
"You have to live, I have five children to raise now."
The old friend turned around, sat on the table, looked at his old classmate, and said after a long silence.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I will try to arrange a meeting with Mike Peng for you. After all, he is also from California. As for Wolf Ha, does he want to run for the Senate directly? ?”
A Semitic wanderer super-rich entered politics with the extreme slogan of ‘abortion is unpatriotic’, and within a few months became the vice president of the California Elephant Party’s grand committee. This phenomenon has It’s too noticeable in the eyes of caring people.
Wolf Dracula is only in his early thirties!
Benny's old sweetheart happens to be an elite member of the lobbying organization, and this is her job.
Benny thought about the process of old Crusoe convincing himself to change jobs. He hesitated for more than ten seconds, and then said cautiously.
“Wolf is not alone, and what he wants is not a certain Capitol Hill seat. hoeny, you may understand that they want to make the California Elephant Party great again. For example, they have begun to The positions of City Councilor of Saint-Lo and City Councilor of San Francisco have been laid out.”
As we all know, there is no real deep state in the United States, and the so-called transcendent interests cannot be born among extremely diverse capital interest groups. consensus.
So, what kind of person can become the true leader of the United States?
The answer can be found from the commonality of Achilles and Chengdaqi. Extremely strong economic strength, decisive influence in certain fields, and the courage to overturn the table, and more importantly - the courage to participate in the most intense and cruel games.
“Damn it, you got a good job, I’m going to charge you an agency fee!”
Obviously the old friend understood what Benny meant, she was a little bit Envious of Benny's opportunities.
In the most developed region of the United States, a new political force began to try to rise.
Regardless of whether this attempt to change the situation is successful, it will not affect Benny's ability to make a lot of money from this job.
“It’s a small thing, I have enough funds for activities. I will give you 50,000 dollars first, and then 200,000 dollars if it is done.”
“Fake, I feel like I have become a woman. Girl!"
"Fifty thousand dollars at a time, considering your age, you are a top player~"
"Hahaha, Ben, you are still such a bastard!"

——
Wolf Dracula is not well adapted to the cold and humid climate of the Magic City.
He has lived in San Luodu for a long time and is used to the dry climate. Because his body is relatively athletic, he can even travel in single clothes in winter.
But when he arrived in the Magic City, the temperature here was clearly twenty degrees, but it still chilled him to death.
"Chan, I didn't expect you to drag me to China. I don't even have a visa. This time I had to expedite it from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs."
Outside Hongqiao Airport, Cheng Daqi and Wolf hugged each other after a long absence.
"It's time to check it out. If you want to be an American politician in the future, you will have to deal with China."
This is interesting, Mr. Wolfe laughed and replied .
“I have already arranged for the private jet you asked me to contact you for, but it may take another three months - but it is already very, very fast. You know, I grabbed one for you. "
There is also a gap among the super rich. The old Semitic Wanderer flag owner obviously has more face than 99% of the super rich in the world. Wolf is really helping. The weapon grabbed one.
Wolff has always felt powerless when facing collaborators such as Cheng Daqi and Temir.
Because these people have no intention of asking for any money. Before becoming a big player, they even called the weasel "Grandpa" to the chicken and gave some money to Wolfe - this sincerity is actually a bit weird.
So, Mr. Cheng just made a request for help, and Wolfe personally helped him get it done.
"How much?" Cheng Daqi asked, while holding Wolfe's hand and getting into the car.
Cheng Daqi gave him a gift to show his sincerity. He was not a fool, so he tasted it later.
In fact, if you calculate it carefully, Mr. Cheng treats him quite well.
It was one thing to help him kill his own father, one thing to help him join the core circle of the Elephant Party establishment, and one thing to help him integrate the California Elephant Party.
Well, it was Gru who fell in love with and killed Cheng Daqi in the past, but now Mr. Cheng has gone further and higher, and it was Wolf who fell in love with and killed Cheng Daqi.
In a flash of lightning, Wolfe made a decision that went against his status as a capitalist.
“Give it to you!”
Of course Cheng Daqi would not accept such a gift.
He is not short of money, but his cash flow is temporarily insufficient. Even this insufficiency is based on his soaring at the speed of light.
"Don't be kidding. Although I don't have the ability to pay the full amount, I can still pay in installments."
Wolf knows how to win over people's hearts, otherwise he won't be able to stabilize his own father's sudden demise. The Dracula family.
"Chan, I need you to do something for me, and I won't give it to you for free."
Mr. Cheng asked curiously.
“What’s the matter?”
Wulf said hesitantly.
"I plan to marry the Sandy family. You seem to have said that she will come this time?"
Good guy.
Everyone is dumbfounded.
"Well, Wolfe, I remember, why do you suddenly think of getting married?"
It's too late, Master Rabbit wants to go ashore!
Mr. Cheng can’t do this kind of pimping thing, it goes against one’s conscience!
But if Wolff sends a plane, this request is not too much.
I'll give you a few hundred million, and you can help me get ashore - that's all.
"The Dracula family needs an heir. You don't know that I have more bodyguards than you now."
The super rich also have troubles. What Wolf actually means is that he needs an heir. Otherwise, if he kicks his legs, those relatives he didn't clean up will eat meat.
After all, he is a human being, and it is impossible to kill everyone in the family. After all, the number of survivors far exceeds the number he cleans up.
These people don’t understand why Wolfe came to power and stood firm. They only know that Wolfe is lucky and cruel.
Wolfe couldn't tell them that he was even capable of playing great things.
This was his dilemma, he needed some heirs to thwart the plots of those prying eyes.
And the mother of this heir should not be too weak. The origin of American culture comes from the West. The European classical period and the Middle Ages paid great attention to blood.
Even the current commander-in-chief also values bloodline.
Therefore, Wolff needs a stronger marriage partner.
"But your emotional pursuit Wolf, forgive me, I mean no offense, I mean, you are actually very well-known, and part of the reason why you are popular in the California Elephant Party is because of your special sexual orientation."< br>
Political correctness is not exclusive to the Donkey Party. When a trend is formed, even the Elephant Party must respect it.
That’s why Achilles initially suspected that Wolff wanted to elect the commander-this guy has complex composition and amazing talent!
Semitic outcasts, homosexuality, abortion conservatism, and the super-rich, all combined a little bit, and it’s a perfect match.
"First, Sandy cannot be your stepping stone. Second, if you combine with her, those homosexuals will think that you are bisexual, which is the bottom in that circle. This is not A favorable path to politics, my friend.”
Wolfe sighed and spread his hands.
“But I always need an heir, a blood heir, not artificial insemination or surrogacy. I also need to find a stronger mother for him, Chan, I need your help!”
