1761 ["House of Cards"]

For mobile reading, please visit m.

After staying at Lao Bushi's campaign headquarters for a whole day, Xia Tian took the opportunity to meet many big-name figures in the Republican Party.

These people not only have great power within the party, but also have super influence in American society. Meeting more people like this will also be of great benefit to the future career development of summer.

And these big guys are also quite enthusiastic about Xia Tian.

One thing is that you have money in summer. As the saying goes, you can be an official for thousands of miles. The reason why these bigwigs worked hard in politics was not to serve the motherland, but to gain benefits for themselves.

The way they make money is naturally to seek rent and rely on the power in their hands to exchange for money. In summer, they are rich and generous, so they are naturally the object they want to win over the most.

Second, Xia Tian has media in his hands. The reason why big bosses are big bosses is because they have influence and people listen to their words. If they want to be influential and people listen to their words, they must rely on the power of the media.

The reason why Confucius became Confucius was that his disciples kept praising him for hundreds of years and thousands of years. Without these propaganda, even if his principles were good, they would be indifferent.

For example, Mo Zi, who was also a great thinker in the Spring and Autumn Period, proposed theories such as "either love is not attack", "respecting virtuousness and equality", "fessional burial", and "either joy is not life", which are also very reasonable.

However, after Mozi's death, the Mo family's influence declined and he could no longer implement Mozi's theory, which made Mozi's theory very good, but he had not been able to compete with Confucianism. Instead, he was denounced as a heresy, which caused Mozi to be unable to be a saint for thousands of years.

The big guys all know the power of the media, so they are happy to win over Xiatian, say a few more good things to help them suppress their opponents.

Xia Tian also understands the psychology of these people wanting to use him, but he doesn't mind. This fame and fortune market is about using each other and getting what they need. As long as these big guys give him what they want, he naturally doesn't mind repaying them.

...

Xia Tian was busy meeting these noble people and was happy for her ever-expanding connections. However, Wang Qixian felt a little bored. For one thing, she was not interested in politics, so she was just excited for a while at the beginning. After an hour or two, she felt a little bored.

She originally thought that the change of dynasty should be very intense. However, when looking at the election headquarters, the people in the people just kept calling, sending documents, and reading reports, it was no different from the operations of ordinary companies, and it was not nervous or exciting at all.

Second, the people she met in Xia Tian were old and ugly, and there was always a strange smell on her body, which made her really unwilling to stay with them for a long time.

"Brother Tian, ​​how long will it take to announce the results?" Wang Qixian yawned.

"It's early morning." Xia Tian explained.

Americans will start voting on November 9th, until 11:00 pm. Then an hour later, the states will announce the results one after another. At that time, if the election situation is clear and the gap is large, there will be preliminary results soon. But if the election situation is stalemate and the difference is not large, you have to wait for the results of the two states of Alaska and Hawaii, which will have to extend for a few more hours.

"Why, are you sleepy?" Xia Tian asked with concern when she saw her tired look on her face.

"I'm either sleepy or a little bored." Wang Xixian waved his hand, "I didn't expect that the dignified presidential election would be so boring..."

"Silly girl, this is called duckshui. It is calm on the surface, but in fact it is very busy under the water." Xia Tian smiled, "You see, every call they make may be a conspiracy, every document they send may be a shameful plan, and every report they make may be related to the future of the United States..."

"Really?" Wang Qixian asked in surprise when he heard his explanation.

"Really." Xia Tian nodded. He had watched "House of Cards" in his previous life and acted like that. Although this American drama is claimed to be fictional, it has a considerable degree of authenticity.

Whether it is the struggle between the Republican and Democratic parties, the lobbying of interest groups in the White House, or the private pockets of public welfare organizations, they all exist in reality. It’s just that the protagonist Francis Kinoshita has too many plug-ins, and the real politician is not as lucky as him.

"Hey, can you shoot "House of Cards" in advance?" Xia Tian's eyes rolled and he suddenly thought.

Flix, which produced "House of Cards" in his previous life, has attracted a lot of attention with this drama and added 10 million registered users to the website. At the same time, it has won more than ten Emmy Awards and Golden Globe nominations and trophys, which can be said to be both fame and fortune.

It would be a pity if you miss such a powerful tool for making money. As far as Xia Tian knows, the American drama "House of Cards" was a remake of the British drama of the same name, and the British drama was filmed in 1990s.

So if summer doesn't hurry up, it will be preceded by its British counterparts. At that time, if he wants to shoot, he can only buy someone's remake rights, which is quite expensive.

"Well, that's it! If you have a chance, don't take advantage!" Xia Tian gritted his teeth and decided to shoot "House of Cards".

...

"Let's go, let's go out for a walk, it's not too late to come back in the early morning." Xia Tian then said to Wang Qixian.

Although there will be several Republican bosses in the border area who will come to meet him in the evening, since Wang Xiaoxian is bored, he will decide to disappear first. Anyway, there will be a chance to meet those people in the future, and the key now is to make Wang Xiaoxian happy.

"Don't you have to meet those big guys anymore?" Wang Qixian thought about the purpose of Xia Tian's visit this time, and did not want to disrupt his plan by himself.

"It's okay, it's not too late to see you again in the future. The key is that you are happy." Xia Tian smiled, "After all, I do so many things, I just hope we live a happier life. If you are unhappy, then why do so many things?"

After hearing what Xia Tian said, Wang Qixian was moved. He couldn't help but pounce on Xia Tian's arms and gave him a fragrant kiss.

The two then left the campaign headquarters of Lao Bushi and then started shopping in Washington. As the capital of the United States, there are still many scenic spots and monuments to see, such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, etc.

Although I came to Washington many times before summer, I was just doing things for work and had never visited it once. This time I could accompany Wang Xiaoxian to have a good tour.

It was only in the early morning that the two returned to the campaign headquarters again.

I saw that the people at the headquarters were no longer busy, but sat there quietly waiting for news.

Because the vote has ended, nothing they do now is useless, and the rest is waiting for the result.

Seeing this scene, Xia Tian couldn't help but think of a sentence, "The Calmness Before the Storm".
Chapter completed!
