Chapter 1142： Beat Yang Cheng?

In the United States, not only the election of the president, but most important elections, including the president, members of the Senate and House of Representatives, governors, mayors, etc., have to spend money.

Among them, more than half of the funds are used for campaign promotion, and less than half of the funds are used for arranging manpower, organizing itineraries and consulting activities.

In fact, renting campaign offices, distributing employee salaries, producing and placing TV commercials, printing and distributing flyers, and visiting voters to give speeches, etc., are also an important part of burning money, but more of them are used to pay tolls. ".

The United States is in a relatively special ZZ environment. After the Civil War, in order to maintain the peace that was hard to come by, the constitution stipulated such a clause, which allowed each state to have a part of its own right to self-government, and it was protected by the constitution.

The president of the United States is not directly elected by the electors. Instead, the voters first elect the electoral college, and then the president is born from the electoral college.

The election system is unique to the United States. When voters vote on the general election day, they must not only choose among the general candidates, but also 100 senators and 435 members of the House of Representatives representing 50 states and DC, totaling 538. Select ju people to form a ju group.

The vast majority of states and DC districts implement the "winner-takes-all" rule, that is, all votes from the state or district are given to the total candidates who have obtained a relatively majority of voters in the state or district.

In other words, if a general candidate wants to get the support of a certain state, he must first form an election group with others. According to the U.S. Constitution and the election system, in order to respect the rights of each state, it must be selected through the state directors. The organization, they set a threshold, just like the King of Mountain set a threshold to charge fees. In order to get the qualifications to contact the electors, the candidates have to pay tribute to the states.

How much is this money? Rough calculations, the total cost of the primary election for all the candidates has exceeded 5 billion US dollars.

Among them, the two most powerful groups spent a total of more than 3 billion U.S. dollars. Of course, this sum of money should include the "goodwill gifts unrelated to ZZ tendencies" given by candidates to qualified voters. Every qualified voter, Before the general election, they will receive gifts ranging from $100 to $350.

American law stipulates that the money given to a national zheng party shall not exceed $15,000 per year, but later the "Federal Election Activities Act" abolished the upper limit of the total capital injection during the ZZ campaign in the United States.

Therefore, during the general election period, "reasonable fees" to the candidates of the general tongs have become one of the most important sources of income for the zheng parties.

This is just like ‘a letter’. There is a quota for red envelopes, but not during the general election.

In short, ordinary people can't afford to spend such expenses at all, so the seemingly free saying in the United States that "everyone can run for president" is pure fart!

Let alone ordinary people, didn't even Mrs. Zipton come to ask for help?

Richard Debin pondered for a while, "I will help you prepare a donation event and invite friendly partners sent by Dang to help out."

Mrs. Zipperton said with a sad face, “This is not enough. We plan to hold a large-scale tour event in the main ticket warehouse to consolidate the ticket warehouse. The budget is hundreds of millions of dollars. Not bad."

Richard Debin lowered his face, "So much? Is it necessary? If it is to open up a new position, it will take so much to consolidate the traditional ticket warehouse?"

Mrs. Zipperton explained with a bitter face, "I am also forced to be helpless. The offensive on the opposite side is too fierce. Their financial strength is very strong. Now they have invaded our traditional ticket warehouse. If we don't do something, the position will be handed over. Gave way."

Had it not been mentioned by Mrs. Zipperton, Richard Debin had not realized that the problem was so serious, and cursed in a low voice, "Damn~"

Thinking for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "I can help you contact several consortia, in the name of the Dang faction."

After a pause, he said fiercely, "Hollywood should also work hard. We have given great support over the years. Now is the time for them to repay."

Mrs. Zipton finally smiled with satisfaction. This is the result she hopes to get. She and her husband's reputation alone cannot attract large sponsorships. Only when Dang sends out can they get large sponsorships.

"By the way, Jason has gone a little bit lately, do you need a knock?" Mrs. Zipperton asked cautiously.

She knows that Yang Cheng is Richard Debin’s person, or that the two are hard-core allies. If not surprisingly, Richard Debin will have another party whip or two again. If it is not necessary, she does not want to offend this. If she is elected as she wishes, she will have to rely on Richard Debin to maintain the power of Congress.

However, she was still quite upset about Yang Cheng's "two-sided three-swords". Although most of the rich did this, how can women really make sense?

If it weren't for Yang Cheng doing a few things that pleased her now it's not just a test, but a tough push.

Richard Debin frowned and said coldly, "He won't be your trouble."

Mrs. Zipperton smiled and said meaningfully, "Of course, I just want to remind you that that kid is very cunning, and he is very close to the British royal family, I think he is suspected of preparing himself for a future."

Richard Debin nodded, "I will pay attention. You should focus on choosing ju. This is your second time to hit the position of the master. If you fail again, you know what the consequences will be. The dang faction will not devote more resources to a loser."

This sentence is a little bit ridiculous, especially from the mouth of a big man in dang, which makes Mrs. Zipperton deeply aware of the sense of crisis. She knows that she may be standing on the edge of a cliff, or she will jump to the opposite shore desperately. ; Either jump directly off the cliff and fall to pieces, and it’s a hundred.

His face changed between blue and red several times, and he nodded stiffly, "I know."

Richard Debin stood up and said, "Then I will go first, and I will inform you when the party is scheduled later."

Mrs. Zipperton reminded, "Remember to call Jason~"

Richard Debin didn't understand why Mrs. Zipperton was staring at Yang Cheng, but she didn't talk nonsense. He just nodded silently, indicating that he had heard it.

After he left, only Mrs. Zipperton and the little rookie Jennings who thought he had heard a lot of great secrets remained in the compartment.

This girl has been praised by her colleagues and superiors for her calm and witty style. Today, these two words have nothing to do with her. At this time, she is fidgeting and staring at Mrs. Zipperton very nervously. Back view, as if he would be killed.
