Chapter 1383

"Today, I announce that I will formally withdraw from this election. I want to say: Thank you, thank you..."

After Peter returned to Chicago, he read his exit speech in front of his campaign headquarters. "Without you, my family and I can't hold on until now. I let you down..."

Behind him stood his wife and children, and the deputy governor of Illinois stood on his side. "At the same time, I also want to apologize to the people of Illinois. I owe you too much, and the heavy campaign has distracted me. So I'm also going to step down as governor of Illinois... But it's not the political critic who bowed his head. I'm innocent from beginning to end! "

"I owe too much to my family. I'm sorry... Alicia..." he turned around and led his wife and children to the stage. The four members of the family held their shoulders together. "I need to spend more time with my family... To be a good husband and father..."

He choked, stopped suddenly, bowed his head for a long time, and then continued: "I also want to remind all voters that the fight is still going on and our goal has not been completed. Let's continue to use our ability, our enthusiasm, our strength and everything we can do to help deputy commander Gore and make him the next commander of the United States!"

"I wish him victory and cheer for his outstanding performance. I fully support him. I have known him for a long time. I know what a good politician he is. I have no doubt that he can lead Americana into the prosperity of the next century. I will fully support him and I hope you will continue to support him and vote for him!"

"Some people will be leaders, others will follow closely, but no one can do it all by themselves..."

The scene was warm. Peter clearly expressed his stand of supporting Gore after retiring from the election. Then he ended his speech with the applause of supporters. He hugged Alicia, kissed the brows of the two children, and finally introduced his successor: the deputy governor.

"The speech was very moving, Mr. governor." After watching this, Songya raised his glass to the TV and congratulated Peter.

"Thank you."

Peter was a little lonely with a smile. "I'm not the governor any more. Now I'm just an unemployed housewife..."

"Will you go to business?" "Maybe you can consider being a director of Susie charitable foundation?" Song Ya asked? There are other jobs that don't take much time each year. "

If a politician enters the revolving door, the money owner will be responsible for paying for it.

"Thank you. I'll think about it, but I want to have a good rest first."

Peter seems to be ready to change his identity. He is no longer as strong as he used to be, and the frequency of saying "thank you" is obviously higher.

"Maybe next year's Gore government will prepare a position for you?"

He is not in a hurry to enter the revolving door. Maybe there are some other things promised in the deal with gore. Ms. Sloan asks, "justice or defense?"

Peter's public image has always been very strong and good at fighting crime. Then he and gore are both in the Motorola iridium plan of the Bureau, and they expect the military to take over. As discussed by Sonya and Sloan before, he is likely to go to senior positions in these two departments or other counterpart units.

Peter shook his head. "I don't have this plan for the moment. Let's talk about it then." He turned and looked out of the glass window at the campaign headquarters hall, which was empty, with only one station and fixed line telephone, which seemed to tell us about the busy campaign life.

Sonya leans down and Sloan leaves with tacit understanding.

"Alicia's campaign for Cook County Attorney next year is still up to you." Peter began to get down to business.

"Don't worry, I will."

Peter has already made peace with Al Gore and is protected by Al Gore. Little Daly, the king of Chicago, can only bear this tone. A cook county prosecutor's campaign can help. Moreover, Alicia's image in the eyes of voters is even more pleasing than that of Peter himself. In addition to Peter's contacts and political heritage, she has a very high starting point.

Sonya joked with a smile: "I heard that many voters gave Alicia a nickname," saint. "They like her."

"Alicia, she's a little hesitant. It's hard for her to turn from a lawyer to a politician. You know how much she likes the work of a law firm."

Peter still needs Alicia. Without Alicia succeeding Cook County state prosecutor to help him frighten the curfew and wipe the shit, he is not at ease. "I know she can listen to you better, please aplus."

They set their eyes on Alicia, who is chatting with Sloan outside. She holds her chest in her hands and keeps walking up and down in front of Sloan, occasionally arguing with emotion.

Of course, Alicia Sonya knew very well that the woman really liked the job of named partner in Chicago's top law firm, but when she heard that she had the hope of becoming the first lady last time, she immediately forgot her previous vow to divorce Peter. She also worked very hard in the early stage of the secondary election, saying that she didn't want to be the state prosecutor of the second largest county in the country? That's a lie. She's just worried about failure again.

"I'll persuade her. Maybe she's worried about her income."

Song Ya nodded his promise. The income of named partners of Chicago's top law firms is much higher than that of state prosecutors, which is also a practical problem. "If you are willing to enter the business world, then your family income can be rebalanced."

"Don't try aplus any more. I really want to have a good rest. I've been tired for more than half a year. Look..." Peter pointed to his gray sideburns. He had dyed them, but the hair there seemed to be quite white.

"Then I won't go around. Peter, there's another question."

There is also a very important question, "did you foresee the stock market disaster? Because if not, I can't imagine how you can be sure that Gore will compromise with you. Without the stock market crash, he would not suddenly face a much more unfavorable situation than before. "

After Gore compromised with Peter, Songya and other Silicon Valley tycoons quickly thought of a problem. When Peter persisted after Super Tuesday, there was no sign of stock market disaster, and there was no earthquake in the Internet industry. We could not expect that Gore's huge advantage would face crises in other directions. Did Peter know in advance? This is a very critical issue.

If he knew in advance, where did he know? Like the party?

If you know, not to mention the suspicious Silicon Valley tycoons, Peter didn't tell himself in advance. He lost 4 billion. Affected by the anti-monopoly case, the wealth of the richest man has dropped from 90 billion to 60 billion when he ascended Fuji last year, and the wealth of 30 billion has evaporated... There are other rich people, too many people have suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash.

"ComeOn, aplus, I'm not a God."

Peter laughs and blinks as he says it. It's the same look he used when he suggested that Vic had someone do it.

This is not his "professional" field. Song Ya guesses that he is bluffing. Politicians like to make others feel enigmatic. It's hard to say whether the elephant party is doing bad things behind the stock market crash. Even if it is, the elephant party should not trust him so much.

"So... How did the stock market react after I quit?" Asked Peter.

"This news is good for Gore, and the rate of decline in the New York Stock Market slowed down a little bit later..." Song Ya answered truthfully.

"Just slowing down a little bit?" Asked Peter.

"Well."

"Ha ha, it seems that I'm not as important as I think." Peter laughed at himself.

The outside world does not know his actual threat to Al Gore, nor does it know that he intends to be caught dead in the debate in June, so... The candidate who thought that the support rate was not high just withdrew from the election, and the capital market did not turn up much trouble.

"Ha ha..." Song Ya said with a smile: "at present, the Microsoft monopoly case is the focus of the focus. The federal court of appeal may decide it soon, and the result will come out in June."

"Well." Peter also agreed with his judgment, "does that California judge seem to have bad luck?"

"Of course, he violated the judicial procedure and caused a lot of chaos in the New York stock market, and it was probably intentional..."

The two men chatted for a long time until Sonya, Sloan and their men left the campaign headquarters, which will be closed tomorrow.

"Alicia, let's have a good chat tomorrow, and go to Littman media headquarters?"

Alicia follows. Sonya puts down the window and asks.

"OK, goodbye... Goodbye to Sloane." Alicia waved goodbye.

"Maybe Gore really agreed to Peter's key position in the government next year. Alicia didn't mention the divorce." Sloan reports the results of her spying.

"Well, Peter and Underwood will be in Washington by then."

Songya's intuition is that Gore will not give in to Peter like this, but it is still the truth. At present, the outside world has this speculation, which is good for Peter. After all, he resigned from the governor's post, which means that he has no power in his hand and becomes an ordinary man.

"Axelrod is waiting." Sloan asked old Mike to drive back to a + records headquarters.

Peter skillfully escaped with gambler's extreme pressure, and now Songya urgently needs to repair some of Peter's relationship damage.

On little Daley's side, there is Axelrod, a public relations consultant who was hired before. He is the most powerful campaign promoter and power broker in Chicago's political arena. Michelle's husband's campaign manager, together with Underwood's care and Gore's election next year, should be able to make up with little Daley on the surface at least.

Sloan also contacted Antony Podesta, the elder brother of Podesta, the most trusted "US Prime Minister" of the couple, who runs a lobbying company called Podesta group. He is very greedy for money and enjoys it. He just gives money and dares to brag and help with everything.

On Gore's side, Songya will give his full support when he and his elephant opponent George junior really start the final election.

"It's over at last." After a talk with Axel rodcher, they are on their way back to their homes in Highland Park. Songya looks at the scenery outside the car window and sighs.

"Yes."

It's a bit far away, and Sloan sighs wearily, "aplus, what are you going to do in the future?" She's looking to the future again.

"I don't know. I'm a little confused now."

Song Ya is really confused. Apocalypse has weaknesses. The stock market disaster also gives him a basin of cool water in terms of Internet concept stocks and capital markets with full confidence. "Let me think about it slowly. I need a little time."

"During the conversation, Axelrod thought that you were going to win the first bank of New Jersey to set up an investment fund for African Americans..." Sloan gave an idea: "although he guessed wrong because he didn't know the inside story, it seems that this idea is good?"

Axelrod may have just mentioned his bid for the first bank of New Jersey out of the intention of showing that he is well-informed. Then he also heard that many African American stars and ordinary investors have made huge losses with him. By combining the two intelligence sources, Axelrod came to a completely different conclusion.

"Fortunately, I didn't buy that bank, otherwise I would have promised those people..."

Before that, there were many rich African Americans who wanted to invest their money in themselves and let them get a fund to invest on their behalf. Song Ya knew how confident and inflated he was when Yahoo stood at the market value of 130 billion at the beginning of the year. Maybe it was a blessing in disguise. There was a big difference between the stock market disaster of money in his own hands and those of nger's own random investment.

"Where should I go in the future?"

Song Ya is silent again. After the roller coaster like period of stock market crash, how do you invest in movies? Make a record? Take a prize, buy a stock or cast a net according to the apocalypse? He felt a little boring, and really, after tasting the sweetness of the instant take-off of finance, the pleasant feeling of the rapid rise of wealth lingered in his mind and could never get out again.

He racked his brains and could not find the direction, or could not make up his mind to follow the Apocalypse step by step? I don't know when I can earn back the four billion

Send Sloan back to her mansion before taking him home.

Thinking about his heart, he hurried down into the hall and suddenly saw a pair of feet. Looking up, Shakira was holding little alien and staring at himself, "Hi! What are you doing here? " He was both surprised and pleased.

"Didn't you say you wanted to see your daughter? I brought her here Answered Shakira.
