Chapter 345： Campaign funding

Karaman, who is in charge of a considerable part of the donkey party’s funding, interprets this issue from a unique perspective, "Anyway, with our donkey party’s financial resources, the advantage in campaign funds will become greater and greater, and the advertising capacity will not be like a party. Comparable, this advantage is huge. As long as our candidates do not make mistakes, it is reasonable to win the final victory. The more we vote now, the more fruit we will reap in the future. This is the truth, our supporters I must be very clear."

These words can be understood in disguise as: We are not short of money. The earlier you invest and the more you invest, the greater the return. As long as the campaign funds far exceed your opponents, you will be sure to win.

Some people will question, why do you want so much election money? Where did it go? In fact, in the United States, every campaign is conducted under "market rules": the salary of the candidate's election team, brochures to promote the campaign platform, TV and Internet advertisements, numerous public appearances and fundraising activities, etc. All need to pay corresponding fees.

Therefore, even for a presidential election, in the face of hundreds of millions of voters, inflation, rising labor costs, and rising media prices, if you want voters to participate in the election to the greatest extent, the only option is to spend a lot of money. .

The cold data also confirmed this judgment. In the 2008 election, the cost reached the highest in history, and the huge cost created the highest record of voting in the US presidential election in 40 years.

Regarding this, Ruizhe Ruizhe, an expert at the Brookings Institution, a well-known American think tank, commented that “elections are designed to transform the views of voters into choices of leaders. Money, a resource, is an essential part of mobilizing voters. "

Moreover, the Supreme Court of the United States also recognized that money is an important way for voters to participate in elections. In 1979, due to the gradual popularity of television, television speeches became more and more important to the election of the United States.

On the one hand, television has become the most direct way to communicate between candidates and voters. On the other hand, television services are expensive and television networks have no reason to provide services to candidates for free.

Faced with the reshaping of technology in the United States, the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled in the "Federal Election Act" that the role of money should not be excessively restricted, because money can help candidates purchase speech opportunities and thus fully communicate with voters. Power should be part of freedom of speech.

Elections are an important source of zf legitimacy in the modern American concept of zz, and a successful election must maximize coverage of the United States and influence as many American people as possible. A national election with full participation by the people can maximize This guarantees the stability of the US government and its leaders in the next four years.

Therefore, in addition to the success of the campaign itself, campaign funding has also become an insurance policy for the stable development of American society for the next four years.

The reason why the donkey party members have such confidence is also based on their strong economic strength. Not only are there many oligarchs and super rich to help, but the emerging companies under their control are also generating profits, especially in today's decline of traditional industries. The commercial ability of the Donkey Party is beyond doubt.

However, when people are extremely self-confident, there will often be joy and sorrow. Yang Cheng lowered his head and couldn't help but remember that Mrs. Zipperton had beaten up the opponents in a destructive posture since the announcement of the election. Don't worry, in the later stage, when only big mouths were left in the eyes of the opponents who were not in the eyes of the Donkey Party, they began to celebrate the victory unscrupulously. Unfortunately, the last pot of cold water did not wake them up.

"Warren, this campaign still needs your strong support." Jamie Dimon first set the goal of fundraising on the old stock gods and used his influence to convince more supporters.

The old stock **** did not rush to agree, pushed the frame, looked at Yang Cheng who still refused to look up, and asked, "Jason, what do you think of the next election?"

Yang Cheng kept using psychological hints, "Can't see me~ Can't see me~ Can't see me~"

However, Zhou Xingxing’s tricks didn’t work well, he cried out unlucky, raised his head in a serene manner, and started to practice Tai Chi, "I think so. There is still a year and a half before the official voting in the general election begins. premature..."

However, the old stock **** didn’t give Yang Cheng a chance to talk about dan, and said seriously, “In fact, a few months later, all parties and independent candidates will officially announce their participation in the general election. The candidates will raise campaign funds early for the campaign. Get ready, it's actually too late to talk about it now."

Of course Yang Cheng knew this truth. Since the other party did not allow him to go around in circles, he straightforwardly pointed out what he said. What's more, with the recasting of gold bars, his bank could be declared established within a few months, which also gave Yang Chengting With a straight body, he looked at the big guys centered on Jamie Dimon, and sneered, "Originally, I didn't want to be too straightforward. This would make everyone's face look bad, but If you want me to express my position, then I’m not polite. As far as I know, the candidate for your Donkey Party’s main recommendation this time is Mrs. Zipton, right?

The people present were all people who had experienced countless winds and frosts, and they developed a face that didn't change. Although Yang Cheng directly pointed out the candidates who are still in a secret state, it was enough to surprise them, but after another thought, with the strength of the Yang family Coupled with various intelligence support, it is not too difficult to analyze the identity of the candidate.

Yang Cheng looked at Jamie Dimon, "Jamie, what we talked about on Tenerife Island before, you should have not forgotten it, aside from the political opinions of the Donkey Party, just the candidate of Mrs. Dun Let me have enough reasons not to support it. Of course, this is only my personal opinion and does not represent the final decision of the family. After all, we are talking about interests, not zz. Who is on stage has nothing to do with us. We will support whoever allows us to gain greater benefits. It's that simple."

After a pause, looking at the heavy faces in front of him, he took Georgina's shoulders and added half-jokingly and half-warningly, "Don't just ask for it, don't want to pay. Now it is a civilized society. Equivalent exchange is the basis of cooperation. , Isn't it? Unless you come up with another Chinese Exclusion Act to completely drive us out of the North American continent."

The last sentence is a little bit ridiculous. Everyone knows that now is no better than before. With the strong rise of country Z, the weight of speaking in the international community has become heavier, and Western society cannot and dare not abandon the Chinese as before. Regardless of whether it is for money or to build a good relationship with country Z, it is an indisputable fact. Sometimes the process is not important. As long as the result is good, everything is enough.

The reason why the Donkey Party has repeatedly forced the Yang family to stand in line is also adhering to the old concept. They feel that the Yang family can be the object of their manipulation, but now Yang Cheng has ruthlessly pierced their conjecture. One meaning: to trade out the most practical benefits for our support, it's not easy to draw a pie!

Georgina secretly pulled Yang Cheng’s sleeves and signaled him not to speak too much, but Yang Cheng didn’t say anything at all. This girl took advantage of him. She hadn’t reported her revenge yet, she hoped that she would be better off. Face? Dreaming? Anyhow, he is also a dignified man, not so spineless.

No one cared about the little movements between the two, Jamie Dimon tried to ease the atmosphere and smiled and said, "Jason, this is not a good place to talk about important things. We will talk about it in private tomorrow. No matter what conditions you have, you can mention it. of."

After a sip of champagne, the conversation turned, "However, what is the reason why you are not optimistic about Mrs. Zipperton? Nowadays, feminism is prevalent. As one of the best, Mrs. Zipperton has an extraordinary influence among women. This part of the vote alone is enough to make her laugh last."

When it comes to this, Yang Cheng doesn’t mind saying a few more words. Regarding the inexplicable self-confidence of this best friend of Oguanhai, he can only send him two words, “Hehe, as you said, Mrs. The advantages on the surface are still quite huge. For example, she was a former wife of the president, and she experienced the zz atmosphere of the White House early; she also served as secretary of state, has a lot of relations with leaders of various countries, and is able to handle international issues with ease, no matter how you look at her Will have a better chance of winning than other candidates."

Seeing a few people nodded in agreement, Yang Cheng couldn't bear to say the following words How do these foreigners understand the tactics of suppressing and raising.

"However, Mrs. Zipperton has a fatal shortcoming. This shortcoming is nothing to ordinary people or even ordinary politicians. However, as the President of the United States who is in charge of the nuclear code, this shortcoming will become an important factor affecting the overall situation. This is I personally cannot tolerate it."

Yang Cheng sold a key point and attracted the attention of several people before Shi Shiran said, “That is judgment. Mrs. Zipten is extremely lacking in self-judgment. Based on the analysis of her past experience, her thinking about doing things belongs to The typical headache is to calm the public opinion rather than to solve the problem completely.

The degeneration and incompetence of zf in many countries is not due to democracy or dictatorship, but that the ruling group does not systematically solve the problem in a responsible manner. It only knows that it blindly performs and shouts slogans according to the public’s preferences, just like an ordinary patient. He feels a headache. Mrs. Dayton would choose to prescribe painkillers instead of investigating the cause of the headache, and would not think about the possibility of a tumor in her brain. "

If Yang Cheng’s remarks were put after Mrs. Zipperton’s defeat in the election, it would be called an afterthought, but now it is enough to attract the attention of bigwigs. After all, Yang Cheng’s identity is different. He is not only the heir to the big family, but also He is a new media tycoon who has a powerful media platform and carrier in his hands. In other words, he has a powerful capital that influences the voting thinking of voters. This is something that no one can ignore. Otherwise, why should a group of tycoons treat Yang? Orange is a young Chinese young man who looks different?

If at the critical moment of the campaign, Yang Cheng publicized his personal ideas through his own platform, it would be enough to shake the final decision of a considerable number of voters, perhaps, this would be the real fatal blow for each candidate!
