Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 130: 2 Goals Worth Investing in

After waking up the next day, the first thing Lin Fengjiao said was, I slept well, did you rest well?

Of course, it's very good. Tang Huan smiled and patted the other party's buttocks, feeling ruthless, and waited for a few days to calm down, and see how brother will deal with you.

Lin Fengjiao snickered and glanced at a certain protruding part of Tang Huan, got up like a butterfly, and went to wash up on his own.

Tang Huan called her aunt and said that she would bring the daughter-in-law you wanted in the morning, but the old lady couldn't wait any longer, so she ordered her to come right away and have breakfast together.

After Lin Fengjiao heard the news, the nervousness on his face flashed, and he quickly began to dress up.

When Tang Yun saw Lin Fengjiao, who had sweeping crescent eyebrows and Xiaojiabiyu, she finally showed a long-lost smile on her face. Tang Huan was relieved that it was all right, and he could finally keep his ears clean for a while.

Lin Fengjiao, who was poor since she was a child, was naturally very discerning in front of her elders, and Tang Yun did not have so many worldly prejudices in terms of her background, so she had a good impression of the well-behaved Lin Fengjiao, and Tang Huan cooperated with her , a family of three had breakfast happily.

Tang Huan originally planned to go out with Lin Fengjiao and his aunt in the morning to make the old man happy, but Tang Wenmao reported that an investment banker named Richard Brown wanted to visit him.

Arrange another time, I still have to accompany my aunt. Tang Huan ordered indifferently.

This Bu Lan is the boyfriend of San Francisco Mayor Feinstein, and it seems that he is going to get married this year. Tang Wenmao reminded him.

There is still such a relationship. Tang Huan was a little surprised, and couldn't help pondering.

He did know that in the original time and space, Feinstein, who was the last member of the Senate, was said to be a pro-China faction when it came to China issues, and she was questioned by the outside world because her third husband had a very close relationship with China. close business relationship.

It seems that Richard Brown is this person, so it is really not easy to dismiss casually.

Because Tang Huan has always wanted to find political spokespersons in California for his own business interests, and the current San Francisco Mayor Diane Feinstein and California Governor Jerry Brown are ideal investment targets.

Okay, we girls can go around by ourselves, we don't need you to accompany us. Seeing Tang Huan dawdling, Tang Yun said impatiently.

Tang Huan apologized to his aunt, and then told Tang Wenmao that he would go to the office of the Shennong Foundation right away.

...

The current mayor of San Francisco is Diane Feinstein, whose experience is quite legendary, because she is the first female mayor of San Francisco.

Additionally, when Feinstein was elected San Francisco City Supervisor in 1969, she was the first woman to hold the position, a job she held for nine years.

While serving as city supervisor, Feinstein ran unsuccessfully for mayor of San Francisco in 1971. In 1975, she ran again against then-incumbent mayor George Mosconi, but lost by a narrow margin of one percent.

It is not difficult to see that Feinstein, as a woman, did not go well on the way to seek the Chief Executive.

However, on November 27, 1978, an assassination at San Francisco City Hall propelled Feinstein to the throne of mayor.

At that time, Dan White, who had resigned from the city's board of supervisors, avoided metal detectors, sneaked into the city hall from a basement window with a gun, and asked Mayor George Mosconi to reappoint him, but the other party refused again.

So White pulled out a pistol and shot Mosconi on the spot.

Before that was over, White went to the office of City Supervisor Harvey Milk and killed him as well.

This was the assassination of Mosconi-Milk that shocked the United States at that time.

The subsequent development of the situation has attracted more attention.

In court proceedings,

White's defense attorney called psychiatrist Martin Bland to testify.

Brand pointed out that White ate a lot of Twinkies and drank Coca-Cola before committing the crime.

White, a former athlete, knew full well that the snacks were bad for him and could contribute to his depressive symptoms.

Brende's confession was called Twinkie Defense by the media, which is the famous dessert defense.

In fact, Brand just wanted to prove that White was insane, and cited the fact that he ate a lot of snacks before committing the crime as proof of his insanity, not that White was insane because of eating a lot of desserts.

The jury finally accepted the defense's confession and changed the original charge of premeditated murder against White to the lesser charge of intentional manslaughter. The judge sentenced White to 7 years and 8 months in prison.

Following the historical trajectory, White was released on parole in 1984 after serving five years in prison, but committed suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning in a car less than two years after his freedom.

Because White loaded the gun with deadly live ammunition in advance, knew how to sneak in through the basement window to evade metal detectors, and avoided bodyguards, and after shooting Mayor Mosconi, he was able to find Milk in the building. kill it.

Therefore, the jury's verdict was too different from everyone's expectations, and public opinion was in an uproar.

More importantly, Harvey Milk was the first person in American politics to disclose his homosexual identity, and he was a representative of the gay rights movement, and he had a high reputation in San Francisco.

The court made such a controversial verdict on the murder case, the gay community was naturally dissatisfied, so they launched a parade on May 21, 1979, with more than 1,000 participants, and the incident eventually turned into a famous riot in American history .

The impact of this series of events on San Francisco can be imagined.

But for Feinstein, who is the chairman of the city's board of supervisors, it is an opportunity. She will take the initiative to succeed as mayor of San Francisco on December 4.

Feinstein held the post until 1979, winning elections that year and serving his first full term as mayor until 1983.

Following the historical trajectory, Feinstein also succeeded in running for a second term as mayor of San Francisco, which lasted until 1988.

Feinstein then ran unsuccessfully for governor of California in 1990, losing to Peter Wilson.

Fortunately, after Wilson became governor, his original position as a federal senator was also vacated. So Feinstein won a by-election in 1992 and was successfully elected as the U.S. Senator representing California.

In the next three elections in 1994, 2000, and 2006, Feinstein was successfully re-elected and re-elected as California's senior federal senator.

In the Senate, Feinstein is a member of the Appropriations Committee, the Rules of Procedure Committee, the Special Intelligence Committee, the Judiciary Committee, the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations think tank.

In Tang Huan's view, this woman, who is developing well in the American political arena, does have potential worth investing in, and she will stay in the position of mayor of San Francisco for nearly eight years.

It's no wonder that Tang Huan's calculations were rattling. As the business grows bigger and bigger, especially when it involves international trade, in order to protect commercial interests, it is inevitable to find some political support.

Soon, Tang Huan met Richard Brown, a shrewd businessman.

The so-called investment bankers are those who play securities and can help companies or governments implement financing plans.

So Bulan came to find Tang Huan, whose company was growing rapidly. On the surface, it was very upright.

When two businessmen meet for the first time, all kinds of stereotypes can be imagined. In addition to inquiring whether Zheru Company has any plans for financing this year, Bulan also vaguely probed whether Tang Huan, who is a Chinese, is interested in politics.

To put it bluntly, just like seeking corporate sponsorship, how much donations can be made to the respective parties and committees in the election year is also a manifestation of the ability of politicians.

As a woman, Feinstein's natural disadvantages are obvious, and she has only just secured her position as mayor of San Francisco, so she is thirsty for powerful financial backers.

Although he knew that Reagan would win the general election against Carter this year, and his money would definitely be wasted, Tang Huan still responded affirmatively.

As a result, Bu Lan got closer to him, and took the initiative to reveal a piece of news, Mr. Governor has arrived in San Francisco, and there will be a private banquet in the evening. I can introduce it for you. In this way, I believe that tomorrow's Shennong Fund will be held. The atmosphere will be more harmonious.

This is a very straightforward reciprocation. Of course Tang Huan will not refuse. He is also very interested in the current governor of California, Jerry Brown.

Brown can be said to be born in a family of officials. His father, Pat Brown, served as the governor of California from 1959 to 1967. After that, the governor from 1967 to 1975 was the soon-to-be president Reagan. Brown has served as the governor since 1975. The governor of California is currently in his second term. According to regulations, he can be re-elected for a maximum of one term until 1983.

According to the historical development, after Brown resigned as governor in 1983, he first went to Japan to study Buddhism and practice Zen, and then went to India to serve the poor with the famous Nobel Prize winner Mother Teresa.

He ran for the presidential nomination three times and also ran for a seat in the U.S. Senate, but was unsuccessful.

In 1999, Brown, who returned to politics, was elected mayor of Oakland, California.

After eight years in office, he was elected Attorney General of California and succeeded Arnold Schwarzenegger as governor in 2010, saving California, which had a very bad financial and employment situation.

This shows how closely Brown's official career is connected with California.

Now Brown is the youngest governor in the history of California, and his governing characteristic is one word - thrift.

Tang Huan is not interested in this point. What he is concerned about is that Brown signed the proposal to legalize the profession of acupuncture and moxibustion during his first governorship.

Since then, a whole new medical profession has emerged in California—the acupuncturist.

As acupuncturists began to practice medicine openly in California, it ushered in a new era of public dissemination of Chinese medicine in California.

During his two governorships, Brown successively signed more than a dozen important Chinese medicine legislations, which further established a new situation for the vigorous development of Chinese medicine in California.

It can be said that Brown's work is very pragmatic. Although there are only more than two years left in his governor's term, Tang Huan still feels that he is quite valuable for investment.

After leaving office, many politicians in the United States will join companies as consultants and be responsible for public relations. Brown is a good candidate.

As the conversation deepened, Bu Lan felt more and more that Tang Huan was not as simple as getting rich overnight, and his sophistication in speech and demeanor even made him feel ashamed.

This made Bu Lan more eager to make friends, and the process of Tang Huan's first contact with the two investment targets, under his help, went very smoothly.
