Simon spent half an hour carefully flipping through some of the documents brought by Joseph Schlapp.
In order to snipe David Dinkins, the Westeros system is expected to invest about 6 million US dollars in the last month of the campaign. The several expenditure reports that have been spent and will be paid are actually equivalent to a set of political operation plans. .
Putting down the last folder, Simon looked up and asked Joseph: "Have these expenses been reviewed by the legal team?"
Joseph Schlapp nodded and said: "Of course, all our expenditures are in compliance with regulations, and there is nothing legally blameworthy."
There is obviously some subtext in Joseph's words.
It does not violate campaign regulations, but once it is made public, it will inevitably trigger criticism from the media and the public.
Of course Simon understands this, all he needs to do is not break the law.
As for criticism, every politician who receives funding from the National Rifle Association has long been criticized by gun control forces, but the National Rifle Association remains the most powerful political lobbying group in the United States.
If you're worried about public disapproval, don't do anything.
Even if the federal government changes its campaign regulations due to pressure from public opinion, everyone will just continue to play the game in another framework.
Although it is a new capital regulation that has just emerged in recent years, Simon understands that if you want to become a player in the federal political and economic system, you must abide by many established rules, even if the rules set by these old players are very unfair to latecomers. fair. Only with enough accumulation within the rules system can you become a new rule maker.
Of course, there are rules on the surface, and there is another set of rules that are not known to anyone in private.
After hearing Joseph's assurance, Simon didn't ask any more questions and instead said, "One more thing. You should compile a list of the core members of this city government's cabinet as soon as possible and give it to me."
Joseph Schlapp adjusted his eyelids.
Simon suddenly asked for such a list, obviously intending to settle the score later.
David Dinkins is 66 years old this year. If he cannot be re-elected as the mayor of New York, his political career will basically come to an end. This is probably the reason why the other party will make a desperate effort to win re-election even if he breaks with the Westeros system. However, many of the city government cabinet team behind David Dinkins still have promising political careers. Even if he does not continue to engage in politics in the future, he will turn to other private industries with lucrative incomes such as finance, lawyers, and public relations.
Once David Dinkins loses the election this time, he will definitely continue to face pressure from the Westeros system.
Joseph did not expect that Simon would expand the attack area to the entire Dinkins cabinet team. Doing so will definitely have a stronger deterrent effect, but it will also offend more people.
After a little hesitation, Joseph Schlapp said: "Simon, some people in the city government have a very good relationship with us."
Simon indeed plans to ban Dinkins’ cabinet team.
David Dinkins, a 66-year-old old man, lost the election as mayor of New York, which means he has almost nothing. The Westeros system will only suppress the other party in the future to the greatest extent to prevent him from retiring in the private sector with a lucrative income.
There is no habit of liquidation in American politics, and it is even less likely to harm people. Simon has no intention of breaking this rule.
However, this alone will certainly not make some people remember the lesson.
Simon wants to express an attitude this time. If you take the benefits of the Westeros system but turn your back and deny others, I will not only make you unlucky, but also make everyone around you implicated.
That's right.
This is sitting together.
Of course, Simon also knows that he cannot really ban all city government cabinet members, because some of them may be just gold-plated and have larger political connections behind them, and some may still be Dinkins’ political opponents, but Dinkins and Dinkins are The result of a compromise between rival political parties. There are also some people who may be manpower deployed by the Westeros system itself.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Joseph Schlapp's face, Simon quickly waved his hand: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter. Well, if there is anyone who has a good relationship with the Schlapp family, you can also tell me .”
The Schlapp family has been engaged in political lobbying for several generations, and it is inevitable that they have intricate connections and even interests in federal politics, especially in New York.
When Joseph Schlapp heard this, his expression did not soften much. Instead, he felt some regret.
The Schlapp family is now completely serving Simon, and Joseph Schlapp can even see that his young boss is a very loyal person. David Dinkins's betrayal has already made Simon very angry. It is hard to say whether his hesitation just now will make Simon have other thoughts about him.
Thinking of this, Joseph Schlapp quickly said: "Simon, our family does not have many familiar people in the Dinkins cabinet team, but some of them do have a very good relationship with us. During this time, They have also been secretly leaking various information to us. Moreover, there are others. If we target them, not only will it have no effect, but it will also give us a more powerful enemy than Dinkins."
After hearing Joseph's defensive words, Simon just nodded slightly and said: "I will pay attention. In addition, we also need to start preparing for next year's mid-term elections. Please take the time to compile a plan for me."
Joseph Schlapp was a little disappointed when he saw that Simon did not entrust him with the statistics of Dinkins' cabinet team just now, but he quickly cheered up and dealt with Simon's new topic about next year's midterm elections.
The Westeros system had quietly helped Clinton deal with many broken things during his tenure in Arkansas. In the year since Bill Clinton came to power, there has been no more 'Whitewater case' in which the Clintons were suspected of profiting from buying and selling land, and it has not broken out again. Hillary used US$1,000 to earn US$100,000 in live cattle futures trading, and many of Clinton's former lovers did not come forward to disclose their secret love affair with the president.
However, the Clintons are really not a worry-free couple.
Less than a year after taking office, various bad things have continued to happen, from the investigation in the first half of the year when he arranged for his friend to take over the White House travel business to the media exposure of his special plane parked on the runway for a haircut recently. In addition, the health care bill reform and the new gun control bill that Clinton is pushing have offended many vested interest groups. It will be difficult for the Democratic Party to get rid of the 'pendulum curse' that makes it difficult for the ruling party to win in next year's midterm elections.
In Simon's memory, in the 1994 midterm elections, the Democratic Party's defeat was much more serious than originally expected. It was a complete defeat. All the majority seats in the House and Senate were taken away by the Republicans. This also led to Clinton being subjected to many Republican attacks in the later years of his administration. Constraints.
Moreover, next year's midterm elections will also be accompanied by the redrawing of electoral districts and the introduction of many veteran politicians, so it will be a big new reshuffle.
This will also be a crucial reshuffle for the Westeros system.
Simon will also take advantage of next year's midterm elections to launch a plan to bet on both sides at the same time, quietly supporting some Republican political forces.
After talking about the matter, Simon sent Joseph away and returned to the villa, where Betsy Hope greeted him.
"Boss, these are some girls' resumes that have been compiled recently. Do you want to take a look?"
The plan to train a group of maids from scratch was confirmed last time, and Simon handed over the task of selecting girls from Eastern Europe and Latin America to Girl B.
This thing is actually very easy.
As important model-exporting countries, Eastern Europe and Latin America have formed a very late screening system in terms of model training.
As a channel for local girls to get ahead, many girls often start attending model training classes at the age of seven or eight. At the same time, there are countless junior talent agencies that select suitable girls everywhere and send them to various models after a brief training. competition or a higher level professional modeling agency.
Speaking of which, a large number of girls will be sent astray in this process.
Or, to be precise, the number of girls who go astray far exceeds the number of girls who become professional models, and there are even fewer girls who can eventually make it in the fashion industry.
All Girl B has to do is call files from junior talent agencies, and then conduct certain background checks and other aspects of screening.
Simon has always attached great importance to the personal background of the girls around him. If the parents have criminal records or other bad habits, they will pass directly, because girls from such families often have various character flaws, and Simon does not want the parents of these girls to get entangled in the future. .
Looking at the thick stack of file information in Girl B's hand, Simon shook his head and said, "Make it an electronic file for me. I'll take a look at it when I have time." After saying that, he looked at the black women's suit on Girl B and smiled. He said: "Are you ready for the evening dress? This dress is not suitable."
Girl B was looked at by Simon, and she nodded sheepishly, then asked in a casual tone: "Boss, do you want to take a look?"
Black Rock Asset Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital, has recently completed the raising of another US$5 billion investment fund. It will hold a business reception tonight to entertain investors. Since Simon is in New York, as the boss, he must show his face.
Girl B is preparing to establish Alphabeta Company. The main customers of the financial information company are various Wall Street funds and various high-net-worth investors. Simon then plans to take her to expand her network.
"There is a lot of time to watch at night," Simon smiled, shook his head, and asked, "Where are Nadja and the others?"
Girl B was a little disappointed, but still said: "The two ladies are in the entertainment room."
Watching Simon walk to the villa's entertainment room, Betsy sighed slightly. The Alphabeta team will be gradually completed at the end of the month. She will leave the Simons and his wife starting next month and stay in New York to devote to her own company affairs.
I remember a few years ago, when I first joined the company, I was worried that I would become a young person’s plaything.
Now.
What's left is disappointment.
Of the four of us, no one can take down the boss.
Simon came to the entertainment room in the villa, where Nadja Orman and Yasmin Gary were playing billiards.
It was already late autumn on the east coast, and the autumn clothes worn by the two tall girls, both 1.8 meters tall, could not hide their slender figures at all. Their graceful postures bending over to hit the ball could easily make men feel excited.
Seeing Simon come in, the two women said hello, and Yasmin Gary continued to urge Nadja Orman, who was leaning over the pool table and hesitating on how to hit the ball, to click the ball quickly.
Simon stepped forward, put his arms around Yasmine Gary's slender waist that made countless people covet her, put his chin on the girl's shoulder, looked at the pool table with a smile, and asked, "Who's in the lead now?"
Yasmin Gary moved her hand towards the man behind her without leaving a trace, and said, "I didn't keep score, but of course I am in the lead."
Nadja Orman finally hit a ball at this time. The white ball passed the target black ball, and it was obviously an empty shot.
Yasmin Gary, who was already somewhat successful, suddenly mocked: "I'll deduct 7 points for making you greedy."
Nadja Orman straightened up in dissatisfaction and retorted: "If you weren't always making trouble, you would definitely have entered."
Simon also saw from the side that Nadja Orman could have easily scored a 3-point green ball or a 5-point basketball, but instead chose a 7-point black ball with a somewhat remote angle. The failure of this ball was indeed huge. The above is caused by greed.
When it was Yasmin Gary's turn, the girl still leaned in Simon's arms and turned her head: "Simon, do you want to try?"
Simon shook his head: "You'd better do it yourself, I like to watch you fight."
Yasmin Gary had just noticed the man's eyes as he looked at Nadja Orman bending over. She smiled and leaned over her head to kiss the man's face, then left his arms and came to the pool table.
Skillfully rubbing some chocolate powder on the cue, and carefully examining the layout of the remaining billiard balls on the table, the girl chose a position with her back to Simon and leaned down. Her figure was relatively slender. ·Allman is more plump. Now he leans down, and the curve formed by the combination of slim waist, wide hips and long legs is simply crazy.
If he didn't have enough self-control, Simon would almost turn into a werewolf on the spot.
Nadja Allman was a little bit amused by Simon's blazing gaze, and deliberately came over to hold the man's arm to find something to say: "Simon, will you be in New York in the past few days?"
Simon shook his head and said, "I'll leave after watching your rehearsal tomorrow morning."
"Oh, this is such a pity," Nadja Orman was a little disappointed and said, "Then, you will definitely come back on November 6th, right?"
Simon shook his head again, this time without explanation.
Both women are due to give birth in early November, and the two little guys may be born by then. He will definitely not be able to come and watch this year's Victoria's Secret live performance.
Nadja Allman knew about Janet's pregnancy, but the details were not clear.
Simon didn't accept it, and the girl wisely stopped asking.
Beside the billiard table, Yasmin Gary skillfully hit a red ball into the bag. Looking at the situation on the table, she originally wanted to try to clear the table directly, but when she found Nadja Orman chatting with Simon, she suddenly He changed his mind and deliberately missed the ball. He stood up and said, "Naga, it's your turn."
Nadja Orman was actually paying attention to the situation on the billiard table. When she noticed that Yasmin Gary missed the ball deliberately, she still held Simon's arm and said, "Go on, I don't want to play anymore."
Seeing Yasmin Gary coming over, Simon smiled and said, "Let's play the game again. Whoever wins this time will be rewarded."
The two girls' eyes lit up.
Men don't give them gifts many times, but every time they are impressive.
However, Nadja Orman quickly shook Simon's arm and said: "But, I can't beat her."
Simon said simply: "There will be rewards even if you lose."
Yasmin Gary was dissatisfied: "That's so unfair."
"That's it, if you win, you'll get double." Simon pushed Nadja Orman's waist next to him, motioning the girl to swing the ball, and asked: "Is there anything you want recently?"
Of course the two women wanted something, but they were smart enough not to ask for it. Yasmin Gary said, "We want whatever you give us."
Simon also walked to the pool table to help set the balls and said, "Naga doesn't have a place to live in New York yet. I'll give you an apartment each."
Nadja Orman's career focus is in Europe. She has made some money in the past two years, but it is only enough to buy an apartment in Paris. When Simon said this, she was a little excited. She rolled her eyes and said: "Simon , I’m not as good as IELTS, can you help me later?”
Simon nodded: "Okay."
Yasmin Gehry is based in New York and already owns an apartment here, but she has no objections to Simon's incentive package. Real estate in New York is very valuable. After all, you can't stay in the modeling profession for too long. Being able to own several properties in this metropolis can be regarded as a guarantee for the future.
After a little calculation in her mind, Yasmin Gary couldn't help but confirm: "Simon, the winner is two sets, right?"
"certainly."
After confirming this, Yasmin Gary wisely did not continue to ask what price she could choose. What this man gave should be at least one million level. She also secretly warned herself not to be too greedy, without a man He will like a woman who is greedy and greedy.
A new round was quickly set up.
Knowing that Nadja Allman's strength was far behind hers, Yasmin Gehry took the initiative to kick off and gave Nadja the first scoring opportunity.
After the kick-off, it was Nadja Orman's turn. The girl pulled Simon to the pool table, looked at it for a while, chose a position and leaned down. Then she looked at the man next to her and glanced at him: "Simon, You just promised to help me."
Men and women sometimes easily connect with each other.
Simon noticed Nadja's eyes and immediately understood. He came behind the woman to help hold the club together. Inevitably, the two of them were stacked on top of each other.
A very ambiguous gesture.
Feeling Simon's heavy body and the man's breath on the side of her cheek, Nadja Orman had no energy to hit the ball at all, and her body fell directly on the pool table, allowing Simon to hit the ball with all his strength.
A natural mistake.
When it was Yasmin Gary's turn, the girl extended the same invitation without any hesitation.
As a result, the snooker game suddenly became messy.
The two girls, who were originally very different in strength, were brought to the same starting line by Simon. They kept track of the scores at first, but then completely forgot about it. The snooker game lasted for more than half an hour.
Since there was no winner, Simon generously doubled the rewards for both girls.
