Rebirth of the American Super Boss Road

However, although he was very excited, Steve Barton was not a fool. He knew that at this time, he had to stay calm and at the same time not reveal his trump card. Moreover, the Chinese boy in front of him was still very young, and being young meant that It means he doesn't understand many things...

With a chuckle, Steve Barton showed an expression that was both interested and slightly wary, and said with a smile: "Of course I hope to cooperate with some like-minded friends, but I am a little curious, Mr. Li, How much support can you give me? And what do you want in return?”

It really is an old fox!

Seeing Steve Barton doing Tai Chi over his problem, Li Hongfei knew that if he wanted to play tricks on Steve Barton, there was a high probability that he would not be able to defeat him. In this case, let's just show off his cards directly...

"I can give you dual support in terms of votes and campaign funds." Looking at Steve Barton, Li Hongfei said seriously: "In terms of campaign funds, I can donate at least US$5000 to you in stages. As long as you show Depending on your ability, US$10000 or more is not out of the question..."

Before Li Hongfei finished speaking, Steve Barton swallowed his saliva. He felt like he was shocked: This Daniel Lee was actually willing to provide him with tens of thousands of dollars in campaign funds? !

Although Li Hongfei also said that the donation should be made in stages, and it would also depend on his performance during the campaign, Steve Barton didn't mind this at all: the rich are not stupid, and those donors are donating Aren’t other candidates doing the same thing?

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Steve Barton tentatively said: "Sir, you should know that according to relevant election regulations, the total annual donation from an individual to a candidate cannot exceed US$400..."

Before Steve Barton finished speaking, Li Hongfei smiled: "Mr. Barton, I really don't know how to donate this money to you legally, but I think you must have a way, right? Well? ...If you can't legally collect the money, I'm going to doubt your ability."

"..."

After hesitating for a while, Steve Barton finally nodded: "I will try my best to find a way, but it may cost some money."

This is a tacit admission that he has a way to legally incorporate this money into his campaign fund.

"Of course, I understand," Li Hongfei nodded with a smile: "As for the second point of support, I guarantee that you can get at least 150 votes in Chinatown. In addition, I also allow you to come to my company and promote it to my students. And canvassing, as for what I want in return…”

Having said this, Li Hongfei slowed down his tone and looked at Steve Barton: "Don't worry, I don't want much, there are only two things: first, after you succeed in the election, you want to hire me as your parliamentary assistant; second, you want me to be your parliamentary assistant; "Point, as a member of the Municipal Education Committee, after you are elected as a member, you must actively promote public officials and teachers in primary and secondary schools near Jinshan to receive training in the use of computers."

Steve Barton smiled bitterly and said: "We all have to come to your school for training, right?"

The bitter smile was a bitter smile, and Steve Barton actually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Steve Barton was not a rookie who came into contact with politics on his first day. Compared with the greed of the financial backers he knew about the candidates, Daniel Lee’s appetite was indeed not big. A city council assistant and a computer government It's just a designated training unit... It's really a condition that only a rookie who doesn't know anything would put forward.

Li Hongfei didn't know that Steve Barton was secretly rejoicing in his heart at this moment and nodded: "Of course."

Steve Barton smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, these requests of yours..."

Before Steve Barton finished speaking, Li Hongfei said with a half-smile: "Mr. Barton, if you don't have this bit of sincerity, then we don't need to talk."

"Sir, as long as I can be successfully elected, there is no problem with the council assistants, but all the city's public officials and primary and secondary school teachers will come to you for training..."

Steve Barton looked at Li Hongfei with a wry smile: "It's not that I won't help you, but I think you may not know very well how many public officials and primary and secondary school teachers there are in San Francisco. I'll just put it bluntly. You may underestimate it. increased the size of San Francisco’s public employees and primary and secondary school teachers.”

Another meaning of this statement is that it hints to Li Hongfei: the scale here is too small.

Li Hongfei really didn't know the size of the civil servants and primary and secondary school teachers in San Francisco. Now that Steve Barton said this, he was really curious: "How many people are there in these two groups?"

As a member of the San Francisco City Board of Education, Steve Barton was very familiar with this data. After hearing this, he immediately said: "There are about 19000 public employees in San Francisco, including about 6000 public school teachers. In addition, There are also about 1000 private school teachers who do not need the government to pay their salaries."

That is about 2 people in total.

With such a large scale, I want to swallow it all in one bite, which is indeed a bit too much for my appetite...

Li Hongfei thought for a while and said, "In this case, it should be no problem for the government to encourage 2000 public employees to come to me in batches to receive relevant training every year, right?"

"2000 people every year?" Steve Barton breathed a sigh of relief and nodded quickly: "That's no problem, but maybe it won't be on such a large scale in the first year..."

With the wave of personal computers that started last year, Steve Barton actually saw that the education industry and government departments will inevitably begin to gradually promote and popularize computers. In this way, there is an institution that can provide computer training On the contrary, it is very adaptable to the needs of government departments.

Li Hongfei also knew that Steve Barton was telling the truth, so he nodded and said: "It's okay to have a little less in the first year, and then you can slowly increase it..."

Speaking of this, Li Hongfei slapped his head and suddenly remembered something: "Well, don't worry, I understand the rules, and I won't eat alone. When the time comes, you tell me who should leave a portion for me, including you, who belong to No benefit will be less for everyone.”

After listening to Li Hongfei's words, Steve Barton's heart completely returned to his stomach, and he gained a little more confidence in the future cooperation with Li Hongfei: Very good, as long as Daniel Li understands the rules and is willing to work in this If you play within the rules that everyone in the group agrees with, it will be easy to operate, and there will be opportunities for long-term cooperation in the future, which is great.
