Starting from the Very Bottom to Become President Chapter 11: It’s easy to see through!
"Are there any other requirements?" Li Kelin wanted a more positive answer.
"There are many, but you are satisfied with the others, such as being an American, not serving as two-term U.S. president before, etc." Eric smiled and raised the empty cup, motioning for another cup of coffee, "If you want to If I check it from beginning to end, I will not be in time for the last subway at night."
After Li Colin helped Eric call coffee, he leaned on the sofa and spread his arms: "We all know that I can't become the President of the United States, I just want to consult..."
"Nothing is impossible, Colin." Eric interrupted Colin Lee, "Two years ago, a nonpartisan tom cat named Hank ran for the Virginia state legislature and got nine votes. , if I was given enough money to run this, maybe he'd already have his own office in Parliament."
"Well, this is a good joke." Li Kelin laughed dryly, "I am honored to be compared with Hank."
"No Colin, I like to joke a lot, but not this time," Eric said seriously, "I call myself Magneto a joke because I can't bend a spoon with my mind, but you Being able to run for president is a different matter."
"Can the cat really run for Congress?"
"The law has never said that one must be a 'person' to run for Congress. The most critical basic requirement is that the candidate must be an American citizen, which Hank has achieved."
"Hahaha!" Colin Lee laughed, "If Hank really succeeds, Congress will definitely be forced to pass the ''Cat Can't Run!'' bill to drive Hank out of office!"
"What about you? If you become president, will you also pass the "Colin Can't Be President" Act?" Eric looked at Li Colin very sincerely.
"..." After confirming that Eric was serious, Li Colin said embarrassedly, "This is crazy... I like you Eric very much, I can tell you the truth, I hope to use the campaign to cheer myself up, Let the outside world and my relatives see that I have changed my mind and learned something. My goal is not to become a congressman or president, as long as I work hard."
"It's not a conflict." Eric nodded. "There is no conflict at all between campaigning hard and succeeding in the campaign. I can understand you Colin, you just don't want to admit it..."
Eric said and raised his right hand, his thumb and index finger were as close as possible without touching: "You don't want to admit, you have a little, just a little, want to be the president of the United States, what do you think about this matter? It's a shame, that's all."
"Ha!" Li Kelin showed an even more embarrassed smile.
This guy is truly a genius!
Yes, no one wants to make fruitless efforts!
Even if the main purpose is to gain goodwill, it does not mean that you do not want success!
Li Kelin just doesn't want people to think that he is a fool, and wants to give people a "he has worked hard, he has done a good job, but this is too difficult, and failure is reasonable", rather than " This idiot wants to be president too?"
Previously, whether it was Jenny, Roger, or Philip, their expressions were full of "this idiot wants to run too" mockery, and the rest, including Donald, had to be reluctant to accept this.
There is no doubt at all, only Lin Xiaozao and Eric in front of him, there must be O'Neill, but Li Colin has not mentioned it to him.
Eric is better than everyone in that he can see Li Colin's troubles at a glance - fear of shame, fear of embarrassment.
Although Colin Lee has a lot of bad deeds, there is nothing to be ashamed of, but in the future, it is Li Colin who has to face the media and take over. Bringing a lifetime of shame, he wanted to cover up the shame with the reasons of "just try" and "see how hard you can go".
Eric is really not a gentleman at all! A few words to cover the head and face set off this fig leaf!
Fortunately, Susan arrived in time and brought new coffee, which gave Li Kelin a short buffer.
After thanking Susan, Colin Lee pushed the new coffee to Eric: "Eric, this is so embarrassing...I just wanted to ask you a few questions about the state legislature campaign."
"Sorry." Eric also admitted his gaffe and laughed at himself again, "You know, Magneto is an unscrupulous old villain."
After the embarrassment eased slightly, Colin Li asked: "I want to know if there is enough time to compete for the state legislator in the fourth district, what I need to do and how to do it."
"The fourth district..." Eric murmured, "Waste part of Los Angeles County, this district dominated by Santa Monica? The governor just redrawn the district and deliberately opened up the Chinese community, Make the Hispanic majority here."
Li Kelin nodded with satisfaction, too powerful! In one sentence, the main contradiction of the constituency is clearly stated!
Eric went on to say: "If you're just going to get involved in the campaign and mess up the water, you just need to contact a campaign company, pay them hundreds of thousands, and they can do everything they need to do. But now Don't expect how many votes you can get at this stage, the only thing I can be sure of is that you should get more votes than Hank back then."
"What if I want to put enough pressure on Philip?"
"Oh..." Eric scratched his fluttering silver hair and sighed~IndoMTL.com~ The Democratic Party has an absolute advantage in the fourth district, and Philip is the Hispanic backbone of the California Democratic Party and has absolute support within the party , the best way is to change a constituency. If you have to destroy him, you have to invest a lot of money and you need a presidential chief of staff. "
"Chief of staff?" Li Kelin asked, "do you mean staff officer, strategic advisor?"
"It's closer than that." Eric gestured, "It's like an ancient Chinese military advisor, or a master."
Li Kelin couldn't believe that Eric could speak standard Chinese such as "strategist" and "shiye"! Maybe these two things are too Chinese, and there is no corresponding vocabulary in English, so they have to use pinyin to pronounce.
After Eric's words, he felt inappropriate, Li Kelin couldn't understand: "It's like a very close and powerful strategic advisor."
"I understand what you mean." Li Kelin raised his hand excitedly, "You are talking about the relationship between Liu Bei and Kong Ming, right?"
This time Eric was surprised: "I heard that you haven't even read elementary school textbooks, but you have read "The Epic of the Three Kingdoms"!"
"I am actually a fan of Chinese culture."
"Yes, the Chinese people thousands of years ago have done everything in the world." Eric sighed, "I study those not because I like them, but because they are very practical. From "The Art of War of Sun Tzu" to "The Epic of the Three Kingdoms", they have already summed up all the fighting methods of mankind, but we just replaced swords with guns, and replaced scolding with media attacks~IndoMTL.com~ Welcome to reading , the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all in ~IndoMTL.com~ mobile phone users please read.
