Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

That's right!

According to U.S. federal law, U.S. government officials, like Chinese civil servants, are prohibited from doing business.

The defense is nothing more than the collusion between government and businessmen, which is not new at all.But in the United States, this law is basically a fig leaf and not covered much
Not to mention anything else, the current Vice President Bush is an oil company boss.When Jimmy Carter was in office, he also quit American politics and returned to Texas to continue his own business.Then, as soon as Brother Genzi came to power, he transformed into a vice president nominee!

The reason why this can be done is only because of two points: 1. The law prohibiting US officials from doing business, which stipulates that officials are prohibited from doing business while in office.
In other words, before you are elected or nominated as an official, you can do business!After leaving office, you can also do business!

Based on this, let's contact the trust thing again.
Whether it is an irrevocable trust or a revocable trust, as long as the company's stocks, shares, etc. are entrusted to the trust fund as assets.Then in name, legally, the owner becomes the trust fund, not you!

Then you go to be an official again, is there something wrong?There's nothing wrong with it!

After leaving office, the trust will be revoked
Everyone understands that this regulation is just a tortoise and has no practical effect.

But here comes the problem. Carter understands the benefits of such an operation, but if it is possible and there is enough development, Carter does not want to step into the American political arena in person.

You can serve certain politicians yourself, or you can cooperate.But if you go into battle yourself, forget it.
These years are fine, if the future
The big tree attracts the wind, which can attract the warm spring breeze, and naturally it can also attract the evil wind!
"But now that you've said it, I think that Mr. Bush's considerations may be more than that. Has he communicated with you about me? For example, to fight for votes from the centrists?"

Connecticut, where neutral voters dominate the mainstream, and Connecticut, where moderate candidates are more popular, is paired with the TED that I am trying to implement in the field of propaganda.
It is not difficult for Carter to guess Bush's purpose and thoughts.But for the same thing, different methods of operation are completely different in nature!
"Naturally he has this thought, it's obvious! But you can see it directly. At your age, I'm a little surprised."

Picking up the corners of his mouth and smiling, Brad is well versed in American fake smiles:
"He didn't tell me what he wanted from you, and we are not in a superior-subordinate relationship. As the chairman of the Connecticut Republican Party, I am only a representative of everyone's common interests, not your superior."

"No one can ask you what to do, but if you can win more neutral votes, it is undoubtedly a good thing for everyone. If you can win all the 34% of neutral voters to the Republican Party You will change history!"

"Let Connecticut return to the embrace of the Republican Party, and the representative will naturally be you!"

"I'd better forget it! You think too highly of me, I can't do these big things, I think it's good if I can do my own things well!"

Bringing Connecticut Back to the Red State
Damn, isn't that going against the historical trend of "reversing the north and the south, and the two parties changing their homes"? !
Why do you trust us so much? !
Carter's head was shaking like a rattle-drum, and it was a tough job!
No, it should be said that this expectation cannot be given to these old fritters at all.If expectations are raised
It's like, the task assigned to you by the boss, if you complete it in an hour. What is waiting for you may not be a promotion and salary increase, but more and more troublesome tasks are likely to be waiting for you
Carter understood that he wanted to be truly accepted by the Republican Party, and then gain support from the Republican Party.It's impossible for me to stay still, how can there be such a good thing in this world? !
Just because you know a Bush, just lie down and wait for feeding?
He is not his father
At best, it is just a partner with a more extensive cooperation base!
But do it yourself, do it yourself!If Bush is asking himself what to do, then the nature has changed.
That would not be a partnership!
Carter is willing to rely on the Republican Party, but he is absolutely unwilling to "take refuge" in the Republican Party!

"Hahaha, you're right, do your own thing! Just do it with this philosophy, Connecticut likes such candidates! People here don't like loud slogans, don't like to engage in conflicts, engage in Opposites, I like those gentle and practical people. You are very suitable for this! Plus your image, well, it is very pleasing!"

"."

Carter was dumbfounded:
"You know, that's not what I meant. I'm only 21, and I can't run for anything."

"Of course it's impossible for the mayor or something, but there is one thing that I think is very suitable for you. You can consider it. A representative of the public opinion in the community!"

"Representative of public opinion?"

"That's right, before you came to my place, it was yesterday. After I received a call from Mr. Bush, I inquired about your deeds at Yale over the years. There are still some things to be done soon. In the confrontation with the New Haven city government, you played a lot of roles."

"I just came into being. Both parties have this need. In this case, without me, Carter, there will be someone like Doug."

"But this is luck! Isn't it? Luck is also a part of strength. You have this foundation, plus you are now going to provide free knowledge and better educational resources to the citizens of New Haven, kid... Maybe you don't realize it yourself "

Brad sighed, behaving a bit like looking at someone who is "in a state of bliss."
"This series of deeds, as long as it is properly publicized, how much prestige you will gain in New Haven!"

"Who doesn't trust a person who can bring him practical benefits? Especially this person, who is only a 21-year-old young man who is about to step out of school! He is full of vigor and has not been polluted by the big dye tank of society. It's as pure as a green lotus in a pond!"

"Your age may be a disadvantage in the political arena. As you said, you are not eligible to run for mayor or governor, but representatives of public opinion are different! Representatives of public opinion are not government positions!"

"It's just an opinion leader, a leader, and a backbone elected by the general public! There are no restrictions on age or tenure."

"Becoming the representative of public opinion in New Haven will not affect your business. No, it will affect, but it must be a good influence! Because your reputation has become higher! People are more willing to believe in you, and by extension, believe in what you sell products! I don’t think you will do that kind of behavior of smashing your own signboards and exhausting your resources.”

"And for development. Representatives of public opinion, you can be in the community, you can be in the city of New Haven, and you can even be in Connecticut!"

"Maybe, maybe you can become the youngest member of the House of Representatives in history!"
