Back To 1995

   Chapter 101

WPP Group attaches great importance to the orders of Enron Corporation. A giant like Enron Corporation has always been a big advertiser. Martin Solo, a king in the advertising industry, is very satisfied with the performance of Double Click Company during this period of time. .

Although he missed the Hotmail mailbox, Song Yang chose a professional manager to enter the double-click, and began to sprint to go public again. In Texas, he brought a giant company like Enron to the WPP Group. It is foreseeable that because of state tax, he will move to the There will be more and more giants in Texas, and there will be more and more large customers of Double-click Company.

  Double-click these performances naturally made Martin Solo and WPP Group satisfied. Regarding Song Yang's request to develop Double-click's overseas market with the help of WPP Group's influence, Martin agreed without any hesitation!

  After hanging up the phone, Song Yang glanced at the number in his hand and shook his head gently. Whether it is Martin Solo or Kenneth, the heads of these giant companies basically have an "emperor" mentality now.

   But it is understandable that these giants are in the most powerful period in the past ten years. They are calling for wind and rain in their respective industries. It is inevitable that they will hear a little more praise.

After    left Enron, Song Yang hurried to Adrian's campaign office, which was established by Adrian and was the home of this campaign.

   On the way, Song Yang could already see some posters of candidates running for the next Houston boss on the streets, which is no different from those advertisements.

The    posters are basically photos of Adrian and others, plus slogans and so on, and Adrian's posters are obviously the most, obviously this time has received the support of many sponsors.

  The closer you got to Adrian's campaign office, the more posters appeared. Adrian's promotional posters began to appear outside the mall, on billboards, and even on cars.

But now it's only Xiao He who shows his sharp corners. This time it's just Adrian and the others who compete within the party. They won't be able to do it until next year, but Texas is the stronghold of the party and basically wins the party in Houston. Internal support will basically stabilize next year.

   When the actual voting begins, all kinds of propaganda will be more violent, and local TV stations, newspapers and other media in Houston will also start to build momentum for their supporters, and all kinds of rhetoric will be loud.

Of course, for many people, the election period is also the best time to live. In order to canvass votes, these candidates will issue a large number of food stamps and relief funds to the slum communities, and the security will suddenly improve. Problems can be solved within a few days, and then wait for the next four years to solve new problems, and start over and over again...

Song Yang came to Adrian's campaign office on the street. The campaign office was inconspicuous, and even a little cramped. If it weren't for the posters hanging outside, no one would have thought that the people in this office would be able to sit there. The seat of the mayor of Houston.

   But basically all states use this method, and the campaign office will not be too extravagant, although some campaign offices have the support of a large number of funders behind them.

   "Song!"

   As soon as Song Yang arrived, two people came out to greet them. Song Yang saw them and stepped forward and said, "Matthews, Digg, long time no see!"

  As Adrian's chief of staff, Matthews still had that wooden face, but this time facing Song Yang, who was barely considered Adrian's new sponsor, Matthews squeezed out a smile.

   In contrast, Adrian's lawyer, Dig, had a much better attitude towards Song Yang, "Song, Adrian has been mentioning you for a long time!"

  Song Yang, Matthews, and Digg walked into the campaign office, which was really small, and a few assistants who were busy still had a green look on their faces.

These people are basically people from various universities in Houston. Except for some outstanding achievements, the rest have more or less background. Joining the campaign office is also to add a qualification to their resume. .

The campaign for the office is usually dominated by veterans like Matthews, along with a bunch of chores, but in the past ten or twenty years, these people who do chores in the office today may also form their own campaign teams. They will also be connected to today's Adrian, and like a legacy, it continues year after year.

   When Song Yang entered, Adrian was on the phone, and when he saw Song Yang, he directly waved him to sit down.

  Adrian took the phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone, "I need the votes of that community, I must get it, let the chemical plant make concessions and give a verbal relocation promise!"

After    hung up the phone, Adrian sighed helplessly and said to Song Yang, "The fact is that there are too many troubles!"

  In the small office, Matthews looked at Adrian and asked, "Or is it about the abandoned chemical factory?"

   Adrian nodded, and then couldn't help but scolded angrily, "Damn the Charlie family, they actually raised the asking price again!"

   Song Yang listened to what Adrian and Matthews said before he knew what was going on. Adrian wanted the votes of a community in Houston.

But this community is wrangling with a chemical factory next to it. People in the community want to quickly move the chemical factory and introduce real estate or municipal projects to improve the community environment. On the other hand, they also want to use this to increase housing prices. Who doesn't want to sell their house for a higher price?

But the owner of this chemical plant, which was on the verge of being shut down, also saw the opportunity, and refused to let go. He had to get a high price before he was willing to move or demolish the chemical plant, even if the people sent by Adrian, There is no way.

   "Maybe you can ask Chuck Rhodes to talk to the Charlie family!" Matthews, who was sitting in the corner, said with a bit of gloom.

  Chuck Rhodes is the attorney general of Houston. He asked Chuck Rhodes to go to the chemical factory, obviously to trouble the Charlie family.

   Adrian thought for a moment, but still shook his head. Now is a very delicate period. The Charlie family is picking a good time. No matter whether the Charlie family is dying, it still represents the interests of some people.

There are many large chemical plants and energy companies in Houston, and they are all watching Adrian's performance. If Adrian is biased towards the community and doesn't care about the interests of their funders, then it can't be said that these big funders, It's time to change the court to support Adrian's opponent. At this time, Adrian doesn't want to be too tough.

   "Let's talk to someone, and find a few other real estate companies to see if they can take over the land below the chemical factory!"

Adrian mentioned the names of several local Houston real estate companies, and still wanted to solve the matter gently, to clean up the Charlie family, as long as the other party still has the courage to stay in Houston, after Adrian is elected, some means to clean up the gang People, even if he leaves Houston, Adrian can use his contacts to find trouble with the Charlie family.

Turning his head to look at Song Yang, Adrian returned to business as usual, "Song, I'm glad you all rushed back to Houston, the first primary debate will be held the day after tomorrow, I hope you can be there, with you present, I believe that young people in Houston, Be sure to choose who to vote for!"

   Adrian is going to show his muscles once. He will pull the sponsor and supporters to make a public appearance, and tell the elephant party and the donkey party who will win this time.

  Song Yang naturally wouldn't refuse. He came back this time basically for the platform of Adrian. It's hard to say how much, but he still has to show his attitude.

   "Song, the development of Double-click is beyond my imagination. Of course, if it hadn't established a branch in New York, I think Double-click would have grown faster!"

   Adrian naturally understood what was going on for Double Click to establish a branch in New York, but he was still a little dissatisfied.

   "Double-click is only doing part of the business in New York and will not move out of Houston!" Song Yang also said to Adrian.

"By the way, Song, congratulations to you," Adrian looked at Song Yang, "If all goes well, before Christmas, the Houston E-mail Management Act will be passed by the City Council, and Houston will take measures against Hotmail by then. purchase!"

Adrian couldn't help but feel a little proud when he brought up this bill. This bill was promoted by him. If all goes well, maybe this bill will be referenced or adopted by dozens of states in America, which will make him famous. rise.

Even Adrian felt that he had become quite different since he met Song Yang, thinking that he, a congressman from America's largest energy state, even introduced an Internet bill, saying that he was like the most Internet-savvy party in the party. People, there should be no objection.

   Hearing this, Song Yang immediately reciprocated and said, "Congressman Adrian's promotion of the e-mail bill will be a milestone in the history of the global Internet!"

"I want to donate a fee for Adrian's campaign fundraising office in the name of Hotmail. In addition, Hotmail will start commercial operations. If you want Adrian, you can use the name of the campaign office to send money to Hotmail users in Houston. , send a public service email!"

   Directly using Hotmail to advertise for Adrian in Houston is too crude, and it is easy to be caught, and it is so miserable to see someone who runs the country on Twitter in later generations.

But in the name of "public welfare", send an email to people in Houston, such as reminding users in Houston to be careful with candles, or reminding to protect the environment, etc., then there is no problem, the key is to take this opportunity to Show your face in front of the younger generation of users.

   "Through Hotmail, send mail directly to people in Houston?"

   Adrian said in surprise, Song Yang pointed him to a path he had never thought of, and Matthews on the side was also blinking, obviously thinking of something.

Song Yang nodded, "Once the E-mail Act is passed, it may be possible to use e-mail to vote directly in Houston or Texas. Hotmail is willing to create a free online election voting website for Houston municipality, and provide Technical Support!"
