Chapter Honorable Senator
Chapter 1159 Dear Senator
If Stanley can successfully run for parliament, then he will inevitably consolidate his position in the underground world. Gradually integrating into a normal society is the best choice for an underground owl.
Stanley's stability undoubtedly has a huge effect on Zhou Dongfei. Since Gordon was assassinated, Zhou Dongfei has no strong allies in the American political arena. Through Haynes's relationship, although it has established a connection with Gordon's legacy of political wealth, the relationship cannot be as strong as Gordon.
Stanley is still young. If he can go further in his position as a senator, he will form a considerable political energy. Because under the American system, there are many examples of highly famous senators who even successfully run for president directly.
Of course, according to the current situation Zhou Dongfei has, it seems that any US president except Kennedy may belong to the same secret force. Stanley is in this system, and it is obviously very difficult to go further in politics. However, at least, help Stanley complete the first step first. As for whether there will be greater development in the future, he can only do his best and leave his fate.
For this reason, Zhou Dongfei personally contacted Gordon's confidants in the Senate through Haynes's relationship. These confidants are considered a huge political wealth left by Gordon. Through contact with these people, some senators began to promote and promote Stanley, instantly increasing Stanley's reputation.
Moreover, when running for parliamentarians in each state, you must first go through the party’s primary election. For example, if both parties compete for the same senator position, then the party should first elect a representative with the strongest competitiveness to compete with opponents. This is like participating in the Olympics and selecting the most powerful athletes in the country first.
Originally, Stanley had some advantages in the party's primary election. When Zhou Dongfei helped him operate, especially those old senators came forward to support him, which directly led to Stanley's victory in the party's primary election, winning with an overwhelming advantage, becoming a representative of their own party. Because since those politicians are all senators, it means that they have high power and great influence in their own party.
After solving the problem of the party's primary election, the rest is universal suffrage across the state. Such a procedure is not too difficult for Stanley. After all, the appeal of the celebrity artists under his command is very strong, and Mr. Kang Wuwei's influence among Chinese and other people of color is also extremely terrifying. But for the sake of safety, Zhou Dongfei still found another group of famous stars from the US NBA!
The fan groups of movie stars and stars are not completely consistent. If the big stars also come forward to support Stanley, Stanley's winning rate will be one point higher.
Zhou Dongfei called, and Lin Shuhao, the most popular big-name star, came excitedly. In Lin Shuhao's eyes, Zhou Dongfei was a good teacher and a good friend, and was the leader who saved his career. Including the inspirational film he filmed with Xinyi Huaya last time, Lin Shuhao finally got a lot of pay. However, out of respect for Zhou Dongfei, he donated all the pay in the name of Xinyi Huaya film crew. Although he was not short of the money, he at least showed an attitude and further improved his public image.
Under Lin Shuhao's threading, many stars also expressed their willingness to support Stanley in an appropriate form! Moreover, Lin Shuhao's staff is excellent and there are many hardcore brothers in the basketball circle. More importantly, Zhou Dongfei promised to further cooperate with the NBA and cooperate directly with the players themselves. For example, who is willing to develop in China, Zhou Dongfei can arrange the best team and strive for the most salary; if he is willing to be a coach after retirement, Zhou Dongfei can also introduce teams with good reputation and high salary; who is willing to participate in filming like Lin Shuhao, Zhou Dongfei can provide the best company and the best director... Such potential discounts are very tempting for those stars. Because sports stars are also a food for youth, who doesn't want to leave a good way out for their second half of their lives.
As for the "appropriate form", it is because they are too ostentatious to make political remarks. However, Zhou Dongfei will maximize the effect while respecting their ideas!
...
It's finally time to vote!
According to the current situation, Stanley is leading his main opponent by five percentage points. It should be said that this is a fair gap, but the variables in the election are particularly large, and such a gap is not enough to make him rest assured.
The day before the election, a TV interview program broadcast an exclusive interview with Dai Anlan from the East!
On this show, An Lan clearly expressed his attitude, saying that Stanley is a very good entrepreneur and has extremely strict constraints on its film and television companies, which greatly improved the atmosphere in Hollywood and the rights and interests of many artists have been better protected. Therefore, I hope to continue to cooperate with Hollywood in the future.
Even a foreign artist said this! And it was not deliberately flattering, but just talking about the facts and talking about the trend in the Hollywood entertainment industry, which made it seem that the political flavor is not too strong.
The interviews with An Lan were several other big names in Hollywood, all international actors and actresses. When An Lan confessed her attitude, several actors and actresses also agreed, saying that various Hollywood film and television companies are vigorously clearing up ugly phenomena, and the atmosphere has changed. The reason why these companies do this is because Mr. Stanley asked him to have some of his own shares in these companies.
Stanley has almost become an epoch-making figure in the American film and television industry. It seems that from then on, Hollywood will be completely clean. Although this is just an impossible fantasy, it has at least taken a big step forward. On the road of self-discipline and self-love, Hollywood has taken a solid step after all.
This has led to the evaluation of Stanley by many film and television attention. By the eve of the election, Stanley's advantage suddenly approached ten percentage points!
If such a gap does not occur too much accident, it will basically be finalized.
...
Election Day.
Stanley's competitors have made a last-ditch effort and have to make a complete reversal. Not only do they try hard to smear Stanley's illegitimate background, but they also say that Stanley has no political experience. Being a member of parliament can only be a shame for California!
This was already a bit of a personal attack, but Stanley was unmoved. He and Zhou Dongfei had calculated that the current situation was basically difficult to reverse. And on the spot, they had the last card.
Several cities issued votes, and a large number of voters were crowded at designated voting locations, waiting for the ballot box to open.
And at this moment, two tall figures appeared! Among the crowds of people, the figures of these two men looked too special and could not be blocked at all. Because these two are famous NBA basketball stars, both of which are more than two meters tall!
Two strong men over two meters smiled and waved to everyone kindly. Everyone's eyes were attracted because they rarely contacted these stars so close. In the United States, basketball is the largest and most popular sport in the country, and basketball stars are also the most well-known sports. Some young voters even simply ran over, regardless of whether they vote or not, they need a signature first!
A little restlessness.
And when the ballot box opened, the two stars voted for Stanley without hesitation!
From beginning to end, they did not make a single political statement, but just fulfilled their rights as an ordinary citizen. However, their influence was too great. Many middle-aged voters were originally joining in the fun and it didn't matter who voted for anyone. Now seeing their favorite stars cast for Stanley, these voters supported Stanley without saying a word!
Similar figures appeared in Los Angeles, San Francisco... in each city. Either sports stars or entertainment stars have triggered a passionate frenzy. The appearance of each figure has led to a large number of middle voters. Even some voters who originally firmly supported Stanley's opponents have changed their minds because of their more firm support for their stars and voted for Stanley.
65 (% sign)! In this election that was originally not very different, Stanley swept 65 (% sign) votes! Coupled with the diversion of some free campaigners and some invalid and aborted votes, his main opponent only received 25 (% sign) votes.
65:25! This election result surprised the entire American politics! Such a refreshing victory was too rare in the US Senate election. For a moment, the new Senator Stanley, who represented California, soared sharply, and even reached the popularity of some veteran senators! You know, Stanley was a pure political white-den before and had no political capital at all. Being able to reach such a height instantly is an alternative!
Even within the political party where Stanley was located, a study of the "Stanley phenomenon". While the party leaders decided to prepare to train Stanley as a political star, they were also actively learning from Stanley's experience and practices of the campaign. However, their tragic discovery: this kind of success is difficult to replicate. Because they do not have the ability to control performing stars like Stanley, nor do they have the means of secretly affecting sports stars like Zhou Dongfei.
But no matter what, at least a good seedling has appeared in the party, which deserves good support. If time goes by and enough qualifications, Stanley should be able to stand higher and go further. Moreover, Stanley has a huge advantage that others do not have and is not short of money! If other candidates want to go further, they have to constantly raise campaign funds. In the United States, even the president is desperately trying to earn money to repay his campaign debt after retirement. However, Stanley is not short of money, but really is not short of money. This can solve the huge financial problems for his party!
...
"I'm very happy to see you, my dear Senator!" After the celebration party that night, Zhou Dongfei laughed and smiled at Stanley, who was full of spring breeze. His name was given the word "Your Excellency", which was a special treatment for the US senator to show respect.
Stanley was happy.
Chapter completed!
