Chapter 187 Peyton's Bet

Washington, Payton looked at the invitation letter in his hand, hesitant.

Because the owner of this invitation is named John Kennedy.

Since voicing his intention to run in the next election, the Mr. Kennedy has been lecturing, organizing parties and courting potential candidates.

"You can go and have a look."

After thinking about it again and again, Payton finally chose to go and have a look, and it was just to take a look. He at least needed his own price in the eyes of others.

At the same time, deep down, Payton still prefers to make a winning investment.

As for whether the investment is short-lived or not?
Let's not talk about whether this can be changed, even if it can't, it won't affect too much.

In the gorgeous manor villa, the banquet hall, and a large area of ​​fountains on both sides, look beautiful.

Just as Peyton got out of the car, someone greeted him.

Robert Kennedy, Kennedy's younger brother, a star figure in Washington's upper circles, often attended various banquets, and Payton met him many times.

He had held some important positions in the government before, but now he has resigned to work on his brother's campaign as campaign manager.

It has to be said that the old Kennedy's tutor was really good, and each of the four sons was a dragon and phoenix. Except for the eldest son who suffered an air crash at the age of 29, the rest of the children had also launched an impact towards the pinnacle of power.

"Payton!"

"Robert!" The two embraced slightly, and then walked towards the interior of the hall.

Along the way, some middle-aged and elderly gentlemen could only make way for them, watching these two young people who were less than half their age walk towards the center of the banquet and the core of the circle.

This has nothing to do with dignity, but with wealth and status.capital
In the era of rapid expansion of capitalism, the more developed cities people are struggling to survive, the more they understand the importance and significance of their own value.

Walking into the hall, Payton bowed slightly to the old Kennedy: "Hello, Uncle."

Old Kennedy laughed, looked Peyton up and down, and said, "You really look like your father."

Well, as the veterans of the Democratic Party, the old Kennedy and Mr. Chris also met at the national party meeting.

Of course, they should not be familiar with it. After all, they are not in the same circle. This old gentleman has not made too much attention in the political arena, and he only served as the ambassador to the UK during Roosevelt's time.

Moreover, although the founder of the Kennedy family was good at making money, he was politically clumsy when he was young and advocated appeasement of Germany.After the outbreak of the World War II, he was pessimistic about Britain and France fighting against Germany. In 1940, he suggested that the Roosevelt administration give up the policy of military aid to Britain and France, but it was not adopted.

In the same year, he resigned and returned to China.Roosevelt no longer appointed him to any post, and he has since disappeared from politics, focusing on cultivating the next generation.

Peyton only smiled, and then, under the introduction of the old Kennedy, greeted some members of the Kennedy family and other celebrities.

Payton also met John Kennedy, the real centerpiece of the banquet, and his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy.

Kennedy always had a smile on his face, that kind of kind smile, full of affinity, with a charming smile.

He really deserves to be called the president who won the election by holding tea parties and attracting women's votes by relying on beauty.

(In fact, Kennedy used to like holding tea parties the most, inviting women from all over the world to come and use his charming smile to make these women who aspire to be Mrs. Kennedy have a strong illusion that this man likes him, the most famous of which is That is, in 52, when Kennedy ran for the Senate, his family launched a money offensive, and he himself also reacted against the beauty strategy. He held 33 large-scale tea parties across the state, and as many as [-] women participated, which finally helped him win.)
He also introduced several famous ladies to Peyton very intimately.

That is to say, the Kennedy family does not have a lady of the right age, otherwise he would probably recommend it to Peyton.

His wife's appearance did not conform to Peyton's aesthetics at all, and he didn't know what Kennedy was looking for in her?
For the banquet of the Kennedy family, all the family members came together to make every guest feel at home.

During the period, Kennedy stood on the stage and gave an extremely brief speech, expressing some of his political opinions and hoping to get everyone's support and so on.

The scene was extraordinary and enthusiastic, and there were thunderous applause.

But how the crowd thought of it is unknown.

It was Robert who mainly entertained Peyton. He was a good talker, and he said a lot to Peyton, including some implicit promises that were not clear.

Some of his promises surprised Payton, including support for e-cigarettes, cooperation in the media, and so on.

From these promises, Peyton can also see that the Kennedy family's confidence in this campaign is not too great, otherwise these weights should never be thrown out now, at least they should be delayed for a long time.

After all, in politics, some commitments are not allowed to be casual.

This involves the issue of political trust. The president still has the restrictions of Congress. Many things have been said but not done, and the consequences will be very serious.

(Well, unless it's the Mafia, a bunch of scumbags that don't need to be politically honest.)
During the period, Payton also saw the conversation between several Democratic Party veterans and the old Kennedy father and son, probably to persuade Kennedy to give up the election, wait for the opportunity, assist XX in the next election, gather the strength of the party, and win this election... …

However, it was clear that the result of the conversation was obviously not very smooth, and Kennedy had already made up his mind.

"Brother, he doesn't want to target the vice president. You know, take Nixon as an example. If he doesn't succeed, he may have to wait for eight years. This time is too long, and some new faces will definitely appear by then."

"It is true that Senator Humphrey of Minnesota and Senator Johnson of Texas are very powerful figures, but today's federation is a brand new pattern, and we need to inject younger strength."

Peyton nodded: "The Chris family is a brand new family. Generally speaking, we need stability, but I am a young man full of passion. If possible, I am very willing to provide some help."

This surprise flickered in Robert's eyes. To be honest, his general impression of Peyton was that he was steady, young and mature. He didn't expect to hear such an obvious answer here today.

"Regarding my father, I am also willing to come forward to lobby to a certain extent, but I can't guarantee whether it will be successful or not."

"You know Senator Johnson's influence in the South is huge."

Robert was already overjoyed: "Thank you for your support, please follow me."
