money trouble

Chapter 720 Money Burning Project

Rosalind was shocked when she heard the boss's question. She clearly knew why the boss asked this question, and it was definitely not as simple as hoping to change the president of the United States quickly.

"Yes, BOSS, next year is the quadrennial election in the United States."

The United States has always practiced a presidential system. Elections are held every four years. The electoral system is extremely complicated and takes a long time. The votes are counted state by state, and speeches are made by region by region. Those who are not in good health are exhausted. They once had a chance to win. An example of being rejected due to a physical condition.

The whole process is a test of the various abilities of the candidates, including the ability and strength of the campaign team, which is the key to determining the outcome.

Every U.S. presidential election will have a certain impact on various countries in the world. After all, the U.S. is the world's largest economy, and every move it makes affects the economies and even the future destiny of many countries.

Wu Qian looked at the glass with only ice cubes left in his hand, picked up the ice cube with his fingers and threw it into his mouth, crunching until it shattered.

"Find out the information of all the candidates participating in the election this time, the more detailed the better."

This work may seem cumbersome, but it is not. Every candidate will frequently appear in various media during the process of canvassing votes for himself. The past and recent experiences and what is happening in the media are overwhelming. It is reported that it is almost a transparent person.

It is very simple to collect candidate information.

Rosalind was full of worries. She called Cooks over to collect information for the boss on the grounds that she had a relatively heavy workload. During this period, the two had a secret exchange.

The two were full of worries about what the boss was about to do now.

The difficulty of controlling the development of third world countries from behind the dark curtain is much easier than influencing the presidential election of the United States. They are sure that the boss is going to interfere in the next election of the United States!

The two guessed it right. Facing the repeated difficulties, oppression and control of the United States, Wu Qian decided not to retreat again and again. He planned to give it a go and play a big, super big one. !
How difficult it is to compete against the behemoth of the United States. This is a country that landed on the moon in 1969 and is now the world's largest economy.

Difficult, difficult to ascend to the sky.

Does it mean that there is no way, supporting a candidate is a very good way.

The difficulty of the challenge can be described as unprecedented. In the eyes of Rosalind and Kux, this is even more difficult than Solan's development from zero to the success of landing on the moon. Behind every candidate is a party or Multiple forces.

These networks of relationships are intertwined, interests and interests, rights and interests, as chaotic as a bowl of fried rice noodles.

Candidates compete not only for their opinions and abilities, but also for the contest between the consortia behind the candidates. It can be said that the US election is the largest "vortex" in the world. It is optional to add "one" or not. If you get involved in this In the "vortex", if you are not careful, you will be doomed.

The two of them were full of worries, and the worries were all worries, and what should be done was still to be done.

Rosalind and Kux quickly sorted out the information, and the information of all the candidates was printed out page by page. There was almost no noise in the quiet cabin except for the sound of the printer. They didn't even know that they were at an altitude of [-] meters above the Atlantic Ocean.

In less than half an hour, a small stack of A4 printing paper was placed in front of Wu Qian.

There are still two hours before getting off the plane, and there is still one hour before the negotiations between Maoziguo and Saudi Arabia start, but it doesn't matter, because the negotiation needs a process, and it doesn't mean that the negotiation will produce results as soon as it starts. If that is the case, there is no need to sit At the negotiating table.

Wu Qian didn't think about other things, he picked up the first sheet from the stack of papers and looked at it seriously.

Bernie Sander, a white-haired old politician who is nearly eighty years old, in the photo, he has a warm smile and is very friendly. He once served as a senator in Vermont...

Just by glancing at his age, Wu Qian threw information about Bernie Sand into the shredder. Old age is full of too many uncertainties, which does not conform to the principle of investment.

He has regarded this project as an investment, and operates it in full compliance with investment principles.

Before Wu Qian picked up the second piece of information, the phone that was thrown far away on the floor rang stubbornly. Wu Qian glanced at it and ignored it.

Rosalind walked quickly to the place where the phone fell, picked it up, looked at it, and said, "Boss, 'San Dezi' is calling, do you want to listen?"

Woodward's name in Wu Qian's address book is exactly "San Dezi".

Wu Qian smiled and raised his hand to signal for the phone.

Woodward had nothing else to do, just a simple work report. It took only one hour to complete the 30.00% short contract order, which cost 600 billion U.S. dollars.

From the trading volume, we can see how terrible the capital flow in the WTI market is during this hour.

If it is said that the funds in the WTI market are flowing like a stream on a calm day, then this hour before is the rushing Amazon River!
During the transaction, Woodward expressed emotion more than ten times that something big is about to happen, something big is about to happen, but he still dare not invest even a penny, the waves in the market are really terrible, a The spray can destroy him forever.

"Boss, judging from the current market conditions, he has achieved a profit of [-] million US dollars."

Barbara interjected with bright eyes, this beautiful woman who regards money as her life is extremely excited, in stark contrast to Woodward who is a little bit sluggish.

Wu Qian chuckled, and said: "You two are doing very well. When the negotiation starts, no matter what the outside rumors are, please increase the position to 70.00%. That's it, you are busy."

Wu Qian didn't say anything about earning [-] million U.S. dollars at all, because it was not the profit he was looking at at all. In this chess game, [-] million U.S. dollars can only be regarded as a corner at most, and there is no formal siege Before plundering land, it is not appropriate to act rashly to care about the gains and losses of a corner of the land.

After the call was over, there was a light knock on the door of the office in London, Woodward opened the door, and Fimiller appeared at the door, and he came to help and supervise.

Putting down the phone, Wu Qian continued to pick up the information of the second candidate, Amy Krobb, a shrewd and capable lady who once served as a Minnesota senator.

Wu Qian looked at Amy Krobb’s views on the campaign. Krobb said that on the first day of taking office, the United States will rejoin the “Paris Agreement” on climate change. At the same time, he promised to introduce stricter gun control laws and improve the medical insurance system. , Increase support for the US military, diplomatic and intelligence personnel.

There is no problem with these, but after carefully reading Amy Krobb's campaign team information and her campaign road, Wu Qian found that this seemingly tepid candidate has an extremely firm will, isn't it An easy target.

Most importantly, during the campaign, Amy Krobb played steadily and did not make any mistakes, and did not have any chances.

A few more A4 pages went into the shredder.

Time passed by, Wu Qian didn't stop, he kept flipping through the documents.

Rosalind is not idle either. Whenever the boss puts materials into the shredder, she will clean up the shredded materials and then incinerate them. The plane will land at Kennedy Airport in more than an hour. Will you be investigated if you stop at the airport?

The paper shredder is completely a device to guard against gentlemen but not villains. For the CIA, it has no meaning at all. The investigators who have just entered the bureau can easily piece the pieces back to their original shape. If the CIA personnel Knowing that your boss is researching election candidates is not a good thing.

Rosalind was very thoughtful, and handled the matter in an impeccable manner. All the shredded papers were burned into fly ash, and then floated in the air at a height of [-] meters with a "poof".

The thickness of a stack of information papers gradually decreased. Although Wu Qian asked for detailed information, it didn't mean that he needed to know everyone in detail.

Only when the prerequisites meet the criteria, it is necessary to continue to look down, it is like screening a candidate's resume, first look at the diploma, then look at the qualifications, if it meets the requirements, then continue to look down, otherwise it is useless A ball of paper.

Rosalind and Kux had been standing by, seeing that the information paper in front of the boss had bottomed out. At this moment, Wu Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled inexplicably. Looking at the information in front of him, he raised a strange smile.

"Rosalind, Cooks, do you two understand the US presidential election?"

Wu Qian moved his eyes away from the information and looked at the two people beside him.

"know a little."

"Understood."

Compared to Rosalind, Kukes knew less, after all, the major he was in charge of did not involve that aspect of knowledge.

Wu Qian nodded and asked: "I heard that the President of the United States has secretive connections with some big conglomerates before. Is that true? Also, is it really expensive to run for president?"

Kux and Rosalind looked at each other, thinking in their hearts, of course it costs money, super expensive...

Rosalind relatively understood the situation better, she took the initiative to speak, and said: "Boss, indeed, as you have heard, candidates need to consider the interests of sponsors, and there is a deep connection between the two.

The California Consortium sponsored Mr. Nissun in the early years, and finally Mr. Nissun moved into the White House and became the president. Since then, the California Consortium has achieved rapid development, and Lockheed Martin in the consortium has become the number one contractor of the US national defense, earning a lot of money. The pours are full.

And things like that have continued to this day, and the... campaigning process is really costly, very, very, costly. "

Rosalind used three very, which shows the high level.

Wu Qian put down the documents in his hand, crossed his arms and asked with interest: "Then according to what you said, the president of the United States is almost piled up with money?"

Rosalind smiled, and said: "It can't be reversed like this. If you have money, you may not be the president, but if you don't have money, you can't be the president. That's the right way to say it.

As far as I know, Mr. Plann has raised more than one billion US dollars in campaign funds for his re-election. Judging from the financial situation announced by the campaign team serving him, he still has nearly 30 million in cash, plus Mr. Plann himself With a net worth of more than [-] billion U.S. dollars, the campaign funds can be called very strong. "

If Rosalind hadn't said these news, Wu Qian really didn't know. He said, "Okay, I know that money is very important in the election process, so what exactly is so much money used for?"

Money is just a tool. What you do with this tool is the key. It is impossible to go to the street and send money directly, saying, hey, buddy, I will give you a thousand dollars, remember to vote for me.

That's out of my mind...

Rosalind shrugged and said, "There are too many things that can be done..."

The presidential election in the United States has always been very expensive. Elections are not just about standing on the stage and giving speeches to the audience. More importantly, it is to encourage people to become supporters of the candidate, and then let the supporters become candidates. cast a valuable vote on the campaign road.

It takes a lot of effort to accomplish this task. First of all, the candidate must have a fairly large campaign team. These aides are as small as dressing up and as big as various strategies for the presidential candidate. The cost of these people and their activities is a lot of money.

There are no mediocre staff members who can become campaign teams, and most of them are leaders in a single field. These people get very high salaries, and poaching among campaign teams also happens from time to time, and the cost is quite high.

The most important thing in an election is publicity and campaigns, so radio, television, print ads, the Internet, and field speeches across the country are all essential. Each of these publicity costs is expensive, not to mention time-consuming aggregated nationwide.

Today is definitely an era when the wine smells and the alleys are deep. Even if a certain candidate has the talents of the world and the ambition to stabilize the country, the consortium finds that such a person is too difficult to control, and if they do not provide financial support, it will be nothing but nothing in the end.

The power of money drives up the cost of campaigns.

The essence of the U.S. election is a contest of capital. Most of the time, whichever candidate spends more money can often win the final victory. This is also the root cause of the soaring cost of the U.S. presidential election.

"Actually, there is no shortage of excellent presidential candidates in the United States, but the vast majority of excellent people cannot obtain sufficient funds to run for the presidency. One of the evils of democracy..."

Rosalind fully expressed her views to her boss.

After Wu Qian listened to it, he pondered for a while, and said, "In short, it's all about spending money to build momentum, so that the public can fully understand the candidate's charm, so as to win votes, right?"

Rosalind and Kux nodded, that's the reason.

Wu Qian smiled and took his hand away from the information, pointed to the photo on the information, and said: "The hopeful star of democracy, Ms. Kama Harrison, publicly stated three days ago that her campaign path may be Will be unable to go on because of insufficient funds, I think I can help her well."
