Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

After returning to San Francisco, Xia Yu first went to Polaris Capital to ask about the progress of the work he had assigned before leaving.

With regard to the acquisition of Wells Fargo Bank, Peter Lynch is making all-out efforts. After a month, he has made very good progress. Peter Lynch said he was confident that he would win it a year ago.

Instead, the intelligence collection of the American movie and theater market has been completed.

The American film and television entertainment center is in Los Angeles, California. Most companies in the entertainment industry chain have their headquarters here. Even if the headquarters is not here, at least one branch will be there.

Therefore the work will be completed so quickly.

There is simply not too much information for the entire industry, even if it is condensed, it cannot be read in a day or two.

While staying at home, Xia Yu was taking jet lag, while reading these materials by the way, let the memories in his mind gradually fit the era through these materials.

Just at this critical period, Xia Yu was also a little uneasy.

November 4, Presidential Election Day!

Each state in the United States and the District of Columbia in Washington state officially start general elections. Voters in each state will vote for the electors of the supported parties at various polling places on this day.

Xia Yu stayed at home, sitting on the sofa, watching the news from the anchor of the CNN channel on TV.

Believe that people who are not eligible to vote on this day or who have already voted, many people use the news in front of the TV to learn about the voting results of their state and other states.

This has to be said about the nature of the US presidential election.

The President of the United States is elected indirectly. On election day, voters vote for the president instead of the president, but the presidential electors. In the end, the electors vote for the president on behalf of their will.

For example, if a voter wants to vote for the Democratic presidential candidate, he actually casts popular vote for the Democratic elector of his state; if he wants to vote for the Republican presidential candidate, he will vote for the Republican election people.

Then, on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, the real presidential elections will be held, and the electors of the states will cast their votes in the capitals of the states.

The number of electoral votes in the United States is fixed at 538.

These 538 electoral votes are composed of two parts. The first part is a fixed ballot, a total of 103 votes, two in each of the fifty states in the United States, and the District of Columbia where the capital Washington is located has another three.

The remaining 435 electoral votes are distributed according to the population of each state. A state with a larger population has more electoral votes. The number of federal parliamentary seats in each state is also distributed according to the population. nature.

As for the electors, they are just voting machines. They must vote according to the voting results of voters in the state, so they are just a cutscene.

So the key is to look at the results of the popular vote in each state on November 4.

Except for the two states of Maine and Nebraska, which distribute the electoral votes in proportion to the popular vote, the remaining 48 states and Washington, D.C. all implement the "winner all" rule, that is, the election of this state or the DC All votes are given to the presidential candidate who has obtained a relatively large majority of voters in the state or special zone.

Precisely because of these rules, the key to the general election is to look at the large states with the most electoral votes.

For example, California, which has the most votes, has 55 electoral votes in this general election. Alaska has only 3 votes. As long as California wins, even if it is just one more popular vote, Take all 55 electoral votes, change to a state like Alaska, and win 18 states with only 54 votes!

Because of this, even if a presidential candidate wins more than 51% of the U.S. popular vote, he may not be able to get 270 electoral votes and become president. This has happened many times in American history.

This special rule has left a huge room for capitalists to operate. The ballots are fought fiercely by the major states. For example, federal lawmakers have come forward to open up relations, the amount of media coverage, the amount of advertising, and the major groups. The level of public relations and so on, every place is a battlefield, the money burned is called a quick!

But what if the party's presidential candidate does not get 270 electoral votes after the general election is over?

Then, according to Articles 12 and 20 of the U.S. Constitution, the Federal Assembly will then vote to determine the president and vice president.

And it is worth noting that the House of Representatives votes to determine the president, and each state can only cast one vote, and candidates with more than 26 votes win.

The Senate votes to determine the vice president. Each senator has one vote and a majority vote wins.

If it reaches this point, the risk is great.

Therefore, both the Democrats and the Republicans will do their best to work before the real voters vote in the general election.

The media rushed to report that Ronald Reagan’s situation was very good. It was not that the states had voted, but the major media used questionnaires to speculate on the situation in each state, and then counted the electoral votes of each state to get Ronald Reagan. The advantages are getting bigger and bigger.

But there is a saying that not all politicians can take it seriously, even the president.

As long as there are enough benefits, you can face yourself at any time.

Regardless of whether it is a member of the Democratic Party or a Republican, it is not just to communicate with the people of the same party, the backing forces will change their positions, so everything is difficult to say, even the leaders of the two parties may not be able to make all members have the same views and positions. .

There are also many who change parties. Wasn't Ronald Reagan the Democratic Party before?

Therefore, without waiting for voters to cast universal votes into the ballot box, the representatives of the two parties in various influential groups in the various states cannot fully believe what they have promised. It is difficult to guarantee that they will not suddenly turn back and make the affected voters hesitate. Undecided or even replaced the support object.

Fortunately, Ronald Reagan's team has never slackened, and has been burning money even today.

"Texas voting results have been announced. Texas has voted for a total of 7,124,058 votes. Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan won 3,647,518 votes, 51.2% of the votes, and Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter 2978856 With 41.8% of the votes, Republican independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson received 498,684 votes, with a 7% vote. Ronald Reagan won another state again! He won 34 electoral votes!"

Xia Yu was not surprised by this result. Texas is the traditional ticket warehouse of the Republican Party. What's more, the Bush family has been operating there for many years, so it is impossible for Texas to be taken away by Jimmy Carter.

...

"So far, 48 states and the District of Columbia have announced their voting results. According to the calculation results of 95% of the electoral districts, Ronald Reagan won in 43 states, and Jimmy Carter has only won in five states and the District of Columbia. Won."

"According to statistics, Ronald Reagan received 42.39 million popular votes, accounting for 53.2% of voters, and will receive 473 electoral votes. Jimmy Carter received 32.11 million popular votes, accounting for 40.3% of voters, and will receive There were 41 electoral votes. Independent candidate John B. Anderson received 5.19 million popular votes, accounting for 6.5% of voters, and did not receive electoral votes."

When this series of data was revealed from the hostess population, Xia Yu smiled, feeling greatly in his heart, even a hint of pride.

Because history has changed again!

Under his intervention, the U.S. election has changed a lot. Ronald Reagan won only in 42 states in his previous life, but now he has one more state.

In addition, Ronald Reagan's popular vote rate is also a few points higher, which is definitely the effect of money burning.

Don’t you see that in the later generations of the black presidential campaign, he put twice as much as his opponent’s slamming ads, and in just one month reversed the situation in a certain state.

Ronald Reagan's election result today was very beautiful, leaving no chance for Jimmy Carter.

Even if an error is found in the subsequent recount, it will not be possible to close the gap of nearly 13%, at most a few tenths of a percent.

As for the results of the electoral vote next month, don’t worry about it. The gap between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter is eleven times larger. Small moves are completely invalid, and the Democratic Party will definitely not dare to engage in big moves, and it will be impossible. !

"Next month, just walk through the scene and cast a vote. I believe Ronald Reagan is already celebrating now, and the next step is to divide the cake..."

Xia Yu chuckled, then got up and turned off the TV, ready to take a rest after washing.

As for the congratulations to Ronald Reagan, I will say it until tomorrow. After all, CNN has broadcast it. There are too many people in the United States who know the result. It is completely foreseeable that his phone will be blown.

Early the next morning, Xia Yu brought from the mailbox that day’s "USA Today" and other newspapers ~www.readwn.com~ The cover was Ronald Reagan's head portrait. Xia Yu quickly browsed the past, only in "Jimmy Carter admitted to running yesterday" I failed, and I congratulate Ronald Reagan on his outstanding victory, and promise to give the fullest support and cooperation in the coming weeks to achieve an orderly transition of the government."

After that, Xia Yu called Ronald Reagan to congratulate him, and he hung up after a brief chat for three minutes.

After 11 o'clock in the morning, Xia Yu received an unexpected call.

The person who called was Rhodes Saxon, who was the financial adviser in Ronald Reagan's campaign and the person responsible for secretly connecting Xia Yu and Ronald Reagan.

Xia Yu knew his purpose, so he didn't say much on the phone and asked him to come to San Francisco directly.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Rhodes Saxon came to Xia Yu's mansion with some gifts.
