Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Five days later.

Tommy returned to the slums and saw amazing changes before his eyes. Many gang members were patrolling the streets. Construction of schools and orphanages had officially started. The construction speed was very fast. It only takes one month to complete the full construction. .

The overall atmosphere on the street is very good. Tommy plans to talk to the leaders today. With subsequent cooperation, once he succeeds in the election, these gang members can be easily cleared with his help.

Although gang members can survive in the United States, they are not recognized, and many of them want to launder the wealth they have accumulated through some formal channels. However, most of the time, these channels have extremely high commissions.

What many gang members worry about is that if the United States wants to take action against them, it can confiscate their illegal gains at any time based on some problems. In this way, the assets confiscated by using state power will be confiscated.

This is unbearable for every gang leader. Many of them will start to think of ways to launder their money after collecting money for a period of time.

The gangs in this slum are all the same. They also have many channels, among which they are most closely related to PLC, and they also cooperate with some large companies, especially pharmaceutical companies.

But the high commissions made many gangs miserable. Tommy looked at the people on the street talking about the school and the orphanage. Each of them was smiling. It was obvious that such construction had brought vitality to the entire neighborhood.

Soon Tommy came to the bar where the gang gathered. They were still talking about something, just like the members of Parliament who were talking about work.

"Mr. Tommy, you are here."

Hawkins shouted kindly, the other leaders also said hello, Tommy nodded and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"I came here today to discuss something with you."

The leaders nodded one after another, many of them had worries in their eyes, and Tommy laughed.

"First of all, what I need to tell you is that Mr. Jean will not come back. This place has its own place, or you can do whatever you want in the future."

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the tavern. Many of the leaders had suspicion in their eyes. They didn't believe what Tommy said at all.

"I know that no one can believe what I say, but Mr. Jean will indeed never come back. He has left and gone to a distant place."

Hawkins asked.

"Congressman Tommy, are you here to test us on behalf of Mr. Jean?"

Many leaders were on alert because they had heard about a series of things that happened to Jean in the city, especially the incident in the supermarket, which made them extremely shocked.

Everyone in the circle of congressmen knew about this, and of course the gang leaders who had close relations with the congressmen soon found out.

"Absolutely nothing."

"Congressman Tommy, forget about testing. We want to do something for this neighborhood from the bottom of our hearts. After all, we do have schools and orphanages, which will be much better for the neighborhood as a whole. Moreover, the detoxification Mr. Jean gave us The drug is indeed very effective, and we can even discuss cooperation with pharmaceutical companies in the future. Only fools will continue to do those dirty things."

Tommy didn't expect that the leaders didn't revert to their old ways, and even fully agreed to support Gene.

"Well, since this is the case now, if you don't believe what I say, this matter actually doesn't have much impact. I want to come and talk to you about something."

Tommy said, and many of the leaders became confused.

"It's a simple matter, I will soon be the governor of CA and I will be running for president this year."

The leaders present were stunned. No one expected that Tommy would run for president, but he was indeed an effective congressman in CA state and could handle many things.

Too many things in CA state have been handled by Tommy in recent years, and many of the leaders laughed happily.

"Congratulations, Senator Tommy."

Hawkins said, the other leaders also congratulated, Tommy raised his hands and waved and said.

"Even if I run for president, my chances of winning are slim, but if you are willing to help me, my chances of winning may be very high. Once I become president, you don't need to worry about the United States looting your property."

The bar was silent, but then laughter erupted, and Hawkins immediately spoke.

"Stop joking, Congressman Tommy, what can we do for you? Why don't you go play golf and have dinner with some businessmen? It's much more reliable than coming to us."

A leader said immediately.

"Yes, Congressman Tommy, we people are nothing more than dust in front of the capitalists. Isn't it funny that you ask us for help in this kind of election?"

Tommy hummed, then looked around and said.

"I have a specific plan, what do you think?"

The leaders were still laughing because they felt that this matter was simply outrageous. In general elections, they used to collect money from some congressmen and then force everyone in the neighborhood to vote.

"I can give you everything you want. If you are willing to help me, then I will definitely become the president in this election."

After Tommy finished speaking confidently, he took out his computer, and soon a piece of information appeared on a large crystal screen.

"First of all, this neighborhood is our starting point. There are a total of 175 slums in the entire United States. These slums can provide up to 24% of the votes. These are the votes I need."

Hawkins was the first to get up.

"Congressman Tommy, it's going to cost several billion. It's not even enough."

Tommy shook his head.

"It doesn't cost a penny."

Looking at the unbelievable heads, one of them laughed.

"Even if you spend money to the local leaders to let people in their area vote, if people from other factions know about it, they will also spend money. When the money is spent, they will not vote for you, and you The money spent is wasted.”

Tommy shook his head.

“What I need is to promote the ideas in this neighborhood.”

People didn't quite understand, Tommy said.

"My election slogan is to help these 25% of the population, lift them out of poverty, provide them with medical education and living security, and make the neighborhood a better place."

People still couldn't understand, Tommy said.

"What you are doing now is to change the neighborhood. Now I want reporters to interview and report, and then spread it in the form of a promotional video, so that people all over the country know that I am working hard for these poor people. ."

Hawkins asked after the leaders understood.

“Is this really going to gain support from other neighborhoods?”

"It's definitely not possible."

Tommy replied bluntly, the leaders were attracted by what Tommy said, and Tommy continued.

"I said from the beginning that I can bring you everything you need. Once I become president, gang members across the country will be my strong supporters, and then you will be my biggest supporter, and I will also Try every means possible so that you will not be constrained by national rights. This country needs a blood change, isn’t it?”

Many of the leaders understood now, but they still expressed doubts, Tommy continued.

"With such a promotional video, all you need to do is help me contact the leaders across the country, and I will go to their neighborhoods to talk to them in person. I believe many people will agree to such conditions."

Tommy continued.

"You just need to help me open up this relationship. Compared with the money given by those businessmen, most of the leaders should weigh the pros and cons. After all, you are all the product of the wanton power of the state."

Many leaders agreed with Tommy's words. Many of them were from poor backgrounds. Most of them were unable to earn a penny in the completely monopolized market, and eventually had to become gang members.

Many gang members wanted to live in the city, but they all had criminal histories and were not allowed to live in the city. Seeing that many people were still hesitant, Tommy talked about something more specific.

Gradually the gang members became excited, Tommy said with a smile.

"How about it? There are not many opportunities like this. If all of us can work hard, we will have a world that belongs to us in the future, instead of being controlled by capital. Are you willing to live in such a neighborhood for the rest of your life, and then wait until you are older? Now, after you have a family, you have to agree to all the conditions of your rights, almost destroying your life savings, and then exchange for the qualifications to live in the city?"

Many gang leaders shook their heads subconsciously. Many people knew that most of them would probably have to live in such narrow and congested slums for the rest of their lives. Most of the people here had long lost their identities. information.

"If I can succeed, I will definitely be able to change everything in this country, because the businessmen are completely unaware that the harder they squeeze, the more friends we will have. I believe there is no need to explain this simple truth, everyone understands it. "

Hawkins nodded and stood up.

"Mr. Tommy, indeed we can support you, but there is a problem"

"I know what you are worried about. When I start publicity, you have to cooperate with me. It will only take half a month to know the polls. At that time, I hope you can help me contact those gang members. I will Keep going to these ghettos."

Tommy could tell that these people were already interested.

"I don't need you to invest a penny, but I just need you to build your neighborhoods well and cooperate with me so that these people can support me independently."

After Tommy finished speaking, many gang leaders nodded. At this time, many people saw the joy in Tommy's eyes. He seemed serious.

"Don't worry, I won't ask for a penny from you."

At this time, many people stood up and walked over to shake hands with Tommy. Tommy knew very well what this group of people needed. What they wanted was stability. Now many of them had accumulated enough wealth, and this wealth was in the hands of many businessmen. Not worth mentioning in front of us.

But such a small amount of wealth is their life for this group of people. They cannot bear to have a large part of their money taken away after laundering it, leaving only a small part to support themselves in old age. Moreover, their past The enemy will not necessarily let them go.

Tommy understood the psychology of these people very well, when Hawkins came over and asked.

"Is Mr. Jean really not coming back?"

Tommy said assuredly.

"I guarantee that Mr. Jean will never come back. Don't worry, I can guarantee this."

Many leaders still didn't believe it, even Hawkins himself who asked the question didn't believe it. They felt something strange. The reason why they felt it was because Tommy suddenly wanted to run for president.

Many leaders in the power circles in CA state are well aware that the situation in this place is extremely bad. The leaders all know that whoever succeeds as governor will only take the blame for the current Diego.

Tommy's sudden succession may be because he has the support of Gene. Many people have just speculated on this. Although Tommy's plan is very good, if it can be implemented, it may really improve. But the most critical thing is the power behind Tommy, most likely Gene.

The leaders had already guessed Jean's identity. Jean, who was so powerful and could kill some people at will, must have a powerful force behind him. That's why the congressmen said nothing and allowed Jean to do whatever he wanted.

From this point on, the bosses knew that Tommy might have really gained Gene's support, so they would agree to Tommy's approach and continue to implement Gene's strategy.

Tommy saw some of the thoughts of the bosses. He continued to talk with the bosses for a while and then turned and left the bar. Tommy planned to take a walk around the neighborhood and think about how he could put this together. Do a good job in publicity.

Tommy went all the way to the hotel where Gene stayed, because he wanted to stay here for a few more days, communicate with the gang members, and then start planning publicity. Tommy walked in happily, wanting to s room.

"Mr. Tommy, Ms. Shakira is back."

Tommy ran quickly in astonishment. He knocked on the door of the room, and this strange-looking woman stared at him solemnly.

"Miss Shakira, where is Mr. Jean?"

Tommy looked around and Shakira shook her head.

"That's what I want to ask, where is Gene?"

Shakira didn't quite understand why this Tommy came here, Tommy smiled.

"Miss Shakira, didn't Mr. Jean go to you when he left?"

Shakira shook her head.

"He didn't come to me. Why would I change when I came back here? And where did Gene go?"

Tommy shook his head.

"Mr. Jean has left. I don't know where he went, but one thing is for sure. Mr. Jean will not come back. Miss Shakira, I want to talk to you."

Shakira looked at Tommy suspiciously, and the two entered the house.
