Blade of Time

Chapter 106 We Are Good People

[-] Evergreen Street, Napton Campaign Office.

When Jiang Changye came here, he saw a large group of people busy. There was a portrait of a fat man hanging on the background wall. He was one of the candidates for mayor of Maple Leaf City and the owner of the vanilla plantation, Napton.

In the hall, a middle-aged woman suddenly jumped onto the table, held up a leather shoe and shouted: "Stripes! Damn, why are there stripes on the shoes? No, no stripes! And these shoes are too new! This It will make the public think that our candidate does not care about people's sentiments, and the shoes need to be worn out!"

As she said that, she jumped off the long platform and threw the leather shoes in her hand to an employee.

A young man rushed in with an iguana in his arms: "I got it!"

The middle-aged woman rushed out, hugged the iguana, and then she twisted off one of the iguana's feet, and then carried the iguana in.

Jiang Changye was wondering when he saw Tina walking out.

Seeing Jiang Changye, Tina waved to him.

Jiang Changye walked over and pointed to the middle-aged woman: "What's going on?"

Tina looked at it and said, "Oh, her name is Catherine, the person in charge of the image team."

"Why does she care so much about that lizard?"

Tina replies: "Boss has dropped two points in the polls. That Leso guy attacks the boss, says he's never pet friendly and discriminates against people with disabilities."

"What does this have to do with lizards?"

"It's a double attack and it can't be blocked separately. We think adopting a disabled animal is the best option."

"Why does it have to be a lizard?"

"Because it is a cold-blooded animal. Caring for cold-blooded animals shows that Mr. Napton's love is boundless!"

Jiang Changye was happy: "But I can't find a disabled lizard in a short time, so I bought a healthy one with a broken leg? Good idea. But I think Mr. Napton should adopt a mosquito or fly or something."

Tina shook her head: "No, market research proves that not many people like that, but lizards are more popular recently."

Do you still do market research on this kind of thing?Jiang Changye rolled his eyes.

Tina waved to Jiang Changye: "Come with me."

Following Tina all the way, Jiang Changye came to an office, and saw the fat white man Napton approaching Jiang Changye enthusiastically: "Welcome, young hero of Maple Leaf City."

Tina's interview has been aired, and Jiang Changye has become a little famous because of it.

At this moment, Jiang Changye sat down under Napton's enthusiasm, and said: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Napton. Tina must have told you about my reason for coming, and I want to join your campaign team. "

Napton smiled: "Yes, Tina said, can you tell me why you want to join my campaign?"

Jiang Changye smiled and said: "I hate those politicians. They always say they are for the people, but in fact they only care about their own wallets. Compared with them, I am more willing to believe you, Mr. Napton. I believe you may Be a dark horse in this election."

Napton was very satisfied with Jiang Changye's answer: "So you are very optimistic about me?"

Jiang Changye nodded: "Of course."

Napton excitedly held Jiang Changye's hand: "Then you are also willing to provide campaign donations, right?"

What?
Jiang Changye was stunned and turned to look at Tina.

Tina shrugged. That means I just agreed to help you meet, and it has nothing to do with me.

Jiang Changye looked back at Napton and said, "I'm here to join you, not to make a donation."

Napton shouted: "But you believe that I will bring benefits to the people, don't you? But there is not enough funds, how can I run for office? I must become the mayor to benefit the people and reward those who believe in me!"

Jiang Chang said to Ai Ai at night: "But I'm just a student who hasn't graduated yet, and I don't have that much money."

Napton was very dissatisfied: "But you are a serial warrior. As long as a serial warrior goes to the trial world once, he can always bring back a lot of merits, even if only a thousand merits can be worth 30. I don't think this is a good thing for you. Difficult."

I have a go!
Jiang Changye suddenly realized.

What you care about is not me at all, but my pocket?

Yes, yes, help you campaign, you are the one who pays me.

Political contributions, that is purely generating electricity for love.

How can it be fun to send money?

Born as a businessman in Napton, he knows that the first skill of a big boss is financing, and there will naturally be people who have money.

You, Jiang Changye, are just a student about to graduate, how many contacts and status can you have?Just based on Tina's report?
Bullshit.

The key is that you are a serial warrior!

Sequence fighters have money as long as they don't die, but they spend a lot of money. Buying a secret technique requires thousands of merits, and the amount of money they earn is not enough.

But you don't have to buy it.

What's the point of learning so many killing skills?
It is meaningful to generate electricity for love!

Only then can the soul and personality be sublimated!

Napton said sternly: "If I am elected mayor, I will try to reduce the tax rate of the trial world."

Why don't you just talk nonsense.

Trial tax is the national tax rate, you want to adjust the tax rate just because you are running for mayor?Even a big president can’t do it. You must know that this is one of the core financial resources. For such a big event, the president must first propose it, submit it to the administrative committee for approval, and then enter the congressional approval process. number of people passed.

To achieve this, I am afraid that Luo Yuanhang from back then must be resurrected.

Napton, can you be more reliable in bragging?
Or are you targeting the lower class people who don't understand the situation, and you just eat your way?

Jiang Changye was also angry and speechless: "As a good patriotic citizen, I have no complaints about the trial tax."

Napton laughed: "There are no patriotic people in the world who are satisfied with tax rates."

Jiang Changye said helplessly: "I can understand your desire for campaign funds, Mr. Napton, but I am not here for this. I mean, I can help you gain more people's trust and more donations."

This made Napton very disappointed.

In fact, no one expected Napton to be successful.

He couldn't even get past the first round.

There are three rounds of the mayoral election, and only after the first two rounds are you eligible to fight Mayor Lawrence.

The reason why Napton participated in the election was actually just to take the opportunity to gain some political capital, get to know some bigwigs, and sell his "shares" - that is, supporters - when necessary.

Many people think that election is a win-or-lose thing, but it is not.

With round after round of elections, people continue to lose, and the votes in the hands of voters will continue to concentrate.Among them, those candidates who have been supported have a certain opportunity to influence the number of votes of their own supporters and vote for the designated person.

Therefore, the loser also has room for profit manipulation!
To put it bluntly, this is Jiang Changye's operation to support the civil self-defense force-some things have been for selling themselves since the beginning of their existence.

As for becoming the mayor, this is equivalent to going public, and Napton has no hope of that.

In this case, you tell him that I can help you win, which is not attractive to him.

All he wants is political donations. Part of the money will go into his own pocket, and part of it will be converted into his supporters, which will strengthen the core capital of his "company" and sell it at a better price - politicians say The banner of the people's well-being sells love and justice, so the love and justice of the people begin to inflate, and the wallets of politicians are bulging.

If it is a higher-level election, it is not easy to have such a thing, because the interests involved are too great, and the opposing positions are too sharp, there is basically no room for maneuver, but it is also relative.

City-level elections are not so confrontational, but more about personal interests.

Fortunately, Jiang Changye also realized this.

He knew that it was meaningless to tell Napton that he could help him win, and his ambition would only expand if he went on.

Napton didn't even pass the first round, so what's the ambition?
He said: "Do you know that besides making money easier for serial fighters, there are also some things that are easier? For example, clearing opponents."

Napton's face straightened: "Please pay attention to your words. I am a law-abiding citizen and will never participate in violations of discipline."

Jiang Changye said: "No, no, you misunderstood. I'm not saying that I want to kill anyone. But in fact, I do have some ways to make people quit voluntarily. I mean, your opponent in this round, Mr. Laisuo, It seems to have caused you a lot of trouble? Maybe I can persuade him to quit voluntarily."

Napton finally got serious: "Legal?"

"Of course." Jiang Changye replied, "I don't do anything illegal."

"I need to know how."

Jiang Changye thought for a while and said, "In fact, everyone has some shady things. If you are lucky enough to have mastered some things, of course, you can choose to expose it or choose to negotiate. I personally I am more inclined to negotiate, leave a way for others, and leave a way for myself.”

Napton suddenly realized, and Fat Face also became excited: "What kind of shady thing?"

"That's after we reach a cooperation."

"what would you like?"

"It's simple, a special consultant agreement, after the completion, reward three thousand meritorious service! It's meritorious service!"

Napton laughed: "No problem."
