Witness of the film and television world

Chapter 82 Stand Up

Colin Hotel.

"Understood, sir."

"Tell me!"

The assistant under him hurriedly reported the information he had collected to his superior.

Partiwat McDaniel frowned slightly after listening to his subordinates' report.

"Peyton Chriss? Newly minted billionaire?"

"Yes, sir. It is said that he has a relationship with his father, Congressman Chris of Alabama. The other party wants to run for governor, and the chemical industry is also one of his campaign directions."

Patiwat McDaniel shook his head: "It's troublesome."

This acquisition may be doomed.

As a senior partner at DuPont, he is well aware of the magic that money and politics can bring together.

Such magic power cannot be shaken by a senior partner of his.

A billionaire, a rising star in the political arena, the combined influence is huge.

As for DuPont?

Presumably, the headquarters is not willing to pay the price to offset this magic power for a BASF branch.

This is Alabama after all!
"Okay, go down and let me think about it."

"Yes!"

After a while, Patiwat McDaniel made a call: "Hello, Mr. President."

"What's the matter? McDaniel, I remember you should be in Alabama now, how is it? Is the air in the countryside cleaner?"

On the other end of the phone came the president's self-consciously humorous voice.

Patiwat McDaniel smiled: "The air here is very fresh, and there is a smell of cow dung from time to time. Those farmers don't think about the appearance of the city at all. If they were in Wilmington, the police would have taken them away. Got it in."

"And the parade workers here are also very violent. I was stuck in the hotel. I was really worried that those uneducated country bumpkins outside would rush in!"

"What's going on? Parade? Are the niggers in Alabama doing something again? It's a terrible environment!"

Mr. President's voice obviously became sharper.

The black civil rights movement in Alabama is the birthplace of the Federation, led by Martin Luther King, and the civil rights movement here is famous all over the world.

Even last January, Martin Luther King Jr. was invited to participate in the Ghana Independence Celebration and maintained close contact with the leaders of the African national independence movement. During the boycott, Martin Luther King Jr. established the Southern Christian Leadership Council.

Blacks became Christian leaders, and this matter became a super hot spot in the Federation at that time!

It has caused the enthusiasm of countless black people, and the resistance of countless white people...

Parades and strikes at every turn, poor security and business environment, this is the general impression of outsiders on the whole of Alabama.

"Not much to do with that group of black people,"

"This is for us. There are some twists and turns in this acquisition plan..."

McDaniel quickly told Mr. President what he learned.

"Of course, it may also be a bargaining chip used by the state government to oppress us?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the president said, "Let's try our best to talk. If it doesn't work, just give up. We can't pay too much for an overseas subsidiary of BASF."

"You also know that the core of BASF has always been in Europe."

Germany to be precise!

Due to political influence, BASF, a giant, is in a very difficult situation. Apart from overseas branches, even some core factories and laboratories in the country are also being sold off.

DuPont set his sights on this piece of fat.

In comparison, the Alabama branch is just a piece of fat, not worth paying too much.

McDaniel nodded: "I understand."

……

Come down from the negotiating table.

"The talk is broken!"

"Pressure from all sides!"

"Our conditions are not as good as that newly promoted billionaire."

McDaniel let out a foul breath: "Let's go, leave this place where the air is full of disgusting smells."

He really didn't have a good impression of this place. From the moment he got off the plane, he hadn't encountered a single satisfactory thing.

……

Peyton's estate.

"Boss, DuPont's people are gone!"

"Oh? When?"

"It's just two o'clock in the afternoon."

"I see, sign the contract as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

After a while, Peyton was alone in the living room, and he walked to the gramophone.

Not long after, the entire living room was filled with a song with an extremely surging tone.

Peyton's head bobbed to the song, having a good time.

For this acquisition, he spent a lot of thought, and now it is finally complete.

What's more important is to take advantage of this opportunity to show their own strength and establish their own status in Alabama.

DuPont, the false enemy, the enemy far away, is undoubtedly a very good choice.

"Nice! It's nice of Presley not singing those sissy-toned songs."

The song Peyton is listening to now is called "Wear My Ring Around Your Neck - Ricky Van Shelton" (wearing my ring around your neck), which is the latest Elvis Presley song.

It uses the electric guitar as the introduction, uses the rhythm to accompany the chorus, and adds a frenzied bass. Elvis Presley's hoarse voice just complements this kind of music.

"Finally it smells like Hound Dog."

The current Elvis Presley is a super pop idol in the Federation music scene. With his handsome appearance, outstanding strength, and soft or hard voice, his fans basically cover all ages of the Federation. From five to 60-year-old old ladies, down to underage teenagers and girls.

A few years ago, a lyrical song "Love me tender" (love me tenderly) has captured the hearts of thousands of girls and housewives, but it is a pity that Peyton doesn't like his soft lyrical songs very much. Excited music such as Hound is more in line with his state of mind.

After listening to a song, Peyton calmed down and called his father.

"Father, DuPont's people are gone."

"I see. Congratulations, Peyton."

"Well, father, I think this is a good time." Peyton said in a long voice
"Ok?"

"Yes, we defeated the federal giants and defended the future of Alabama's chemical industry. Such an honor requires a hero to stand up and tell the public that he can lead Alabama to break through the predicament."

"Now is the best time to announce your campaign plan, and you will be surrounded by countless people."

Mr. Chris heard that from Peyton's words, he had expected how much convenience this incident would bring to his election plan, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

Barely suppressing his excitement, Mr. Chris: "Wait, let me discuss with Stoke and the others,"

"it is good!"

After hanging up the phone, Peyton shook his head and stretched his spine. He knew that such a good opportunity, Dad would not let it go.

To be precise, his campaign will definitely seize the opportunity.

Mr. Chris's campaign team is all elite figures from the upper echelons of the Federation. Many of them have held important positions, have rich experience, and their network and vision are far beyond ordinary people.

The chief advisor is a retired federal senator, which is also the Democratic Party's investment in Mr. Chris.

At the same time, if Mr. Chris hadn't had a son named Payton, his political donations would not be able to support such an elite campaign team.
