Rebirth of the American Super Boss Road

Before this, because Li Hongfei was too young, Steve Barton actually had a question mark in his mind as to whether Li Hongfei would be a good financial backer - young people, who is not? Someone who thinks highly of himself and is arrogant?What this kind of person likes most is not following the rules and regulations, but for Steve Barton, who has a mixed career, rules and regulations are what he must abide by.

But since Lin Hongfei understands the rules and recognizes this set of rules, everyone can have fun with FAW now and in the future - improving the professional skills of government department staff is also to better serve the public, isn't it? Is this something that an honorable MP should push hard for?

After realizing that Li Hongfei was a good funder who was willing to abide by the rules and play within the rules, Steve Barton's attitude became a little more enthusiastic: "With your words, I feel relieved... Don't worry, even this time I failed in the election, but I am still a member of the Municipal Education Committee. In order to express my opposition to you, I will also find ways to encourage primary and secondary school teachers to come to you to receive relevant training."

As long as this thing can be successful, how many people at the top and bottom can take advantage of the opportunity, and my position in the Education Committee will be more consolidated.

"Hehe...that would be great."

The two looked at each other and felt that their relationship had deepened.

After a slight pause, Li Hongfei then asked: "Mr. Barton, can you briefly introduce to me the situation of this election, such as the status of the current members, your competitors, and the support behind you? Also, what do you think you will do?" Where is the core advantage to win?”

"Of course it's no problem," Steve Barton, who put aside his worries and concerns, nodded happily: "The current city councilor in my third district is Mr. Mark Farrell. Mr. Mark Farrell and I'm both a Republican, and I have a good relationship with them.

The reason why I decided to run for city council this term is also related to Mr. Mark Farrell.

Prior to this, Mr. Mark Farrell had been re-elected as a city councilor in the third district for two consecutive terms. He had great prestige and respect in San Francisco and even the entire California. The party recommended that he run for state assembly. After even After thinking about it, Mr. Mark Farrell has agreed, and suggested that I decide to run for city council this time, saying that he would support me, and even if he and I can both succeed in single elections, he will give his part of the city in San Francisco Leave the political legacy to me. "

In this way, Steve Barton proved to Li Hongfei that he was not a straggler without a background. On the contrary, he was not only well-established, but also had the support of big people behind him. He could even follow the big people while they were moving to higher positions. Receive big shots' political connections and connections in San Francisco.

Li Hongfei was really surprised by what Steve Barton said: This guy is quite powerful.

However, Li Hongfei is more happy: this Mark Farrell is obviously the boss of the Republican Party in California, at least the San Francisco branch. This Steve Barton can get the support of the boss of the San Francisco branch of the Republican Party. The chances of success in this election are much higher.This means that Steve Barton at least has the basic conditions for a successful campaign.

Seeing Li Hongfei nod, Steve Barton continued: "This is my first time running for city council, but before that, I have served as a member of the city education committee for a complete term, and I am familiar with all aspects. Cooperation in all aspects has always been a pleasure.

In addition, although I am running for city council for the first time, my opponent, Democratic Raphael Mandelman, is also running for city council for the first time..."

Li Hongfei interrupted Steve Barton and asked: "Sorry, let me ask, what does this Raphael Mandelman do?"

Steve Barton pursed his lips: "He is the vice president of the San Francisco Hotel Industry Federation."

Seeing this inadvertent little move by Steve Barton, Li Hongfei immediately realized that the pressure brought by Raphael Mandelman to Steve Barton was actually quite big.

If you think about it carefully, that’s right!As the vice president of the Hotel Industry Federation, Raphael Mandelman deals with wealthy hotel and hotel owners on a daily basis. Not only can they provide Raphael Mandelman with more campaign funds , can also influence and influence the voting of self-employed employees - How naive are those who say that ordinary employees can vote for whoever they want to really think so?

But having said that, if this Raphael Mandelman hadn't brought so much pressure to Steve Barton, how could he have been so anxious and angry that he almost went to the doctor to find him, and how could he? Will there be a chance?

Huh?

Thinking of this, Li Hongfei suddenly realized that something was wrong: If the pressure brought by Raphael Mandelman to Steve Barton was really so great, then what he just said "I got Mr. Mark Farrell" "strong support", is it true or false?

Although I am not sure whether those words are true or false, one thing is certain, that is, whoever believes everything these politicians say is a fool.

However, Li Hongfei hid his emotions very well and did not let Steve Barton notice. He continued: "Of course, Mr. Mandelman has his own advantages, and I also have my advantages. I am the biggest The advantage is that I work on the Education Committee, so the public’s impression of me is naturally better than that of Mr. Mandelman. Under the same conditions, it is easier for the public to vote for me.”

What Steve Barton said is the truth. In the United States, practitioners in the education industry are more respected. This is a fact.

Li Hongfei nodded and said: "So, compared to Mr. Mandelman, not to mention how much advantage you have, at least you have a chance to win."

Steve Barton hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "You can say that."

Li Hongfei thought for a moment and then asked: "What about campaign funds? How much campaign funds do you think is needed to be successfully elected? How much are you sure you can raise?"

After hesitating for a moment, Steve Barton gritted his teeth and said: "If it were another constituency, a fund of 2.5 to 3.5 US dollars would be enough, but Mr. Mandelman's situation is a little different. If he wants to win, I I think the minimum guarantee also requires US$3.5 in campaign funds. As for my certainty..."

Steve Barton smiled bitterly and said: "I personally have about 5000 US dollars in savings. As usual, the party will provide some campaign funds. In addition, based on the amount of past public donations, the campaign funds I can finally get are about In the early $2s.”
