Sam and the others do not represent the only union in state A, and Leon still needs to interview many union representatives, so Binny's suggestion is about half an hour.

This time is more than enough for Leon, his interview content is only two:

First, analyze the current situation to the representatives, and second, give your own bargaining chips.

Half an hour later, Leon came out of the office, bid farewell to the three representatives who sent him out, and shook George's hand again.

"As the people at the bottom, you have all done a good job." He said sincerely, "But there is already a lot of rot in the bones of State A, and now, we are the only ones who can save it.

"I can't say for sure that no one who is also running for state A will buy tickets from you. But when you think the price is good and you can nod, please think about your own needs: do we need the immediate A few hundred dollars still needs a long-term development opportunity.”

Selling a vote for 300 yuan is simply stupid in Leon's eyes!

State A representative means a person who "can petition, propose, and appeal on behalf of all the people of State A". This is related to how the bills of State A will be formulated in the end, and it is related to the grievances and status quo of the people at the bottom. , feedback upward.

When those aristocrats waved banknotes to bid for votes, they would not tell these voters that what they sold with 300 yuan was not a vote, but their legitimate rights.

But Leon could also understand these people.

Not everyone is tortured to the point of deafness by the assembly line in life, and some smart people can still see the clues.

But the key is what's the use of seeing it?

They are outnumbered.

State A has been dominated by the family for too long, and no one can guarantee that the candidates will really petition for the people as they say, and there are many representatives who will kick the voters away once they are elected.

Therefore, for voters, an illusory promise is often not as reliable as real money in their hands.

At least, money can guarantee temporary food and clothing, and participating in "campaign venture capital" can lead to loss of money, and at worst, you may be held jointly and severally liable for "standing on the wrong team".

So the three of them didn't give Leon a positive answer, they just said that they had to think about it carefully, and Leon didn't take this disguised refusal to heart. After all, negotiations are never resolved with a hammer. The result of pulling, probing, and grinding.

Binny took a step forward, distributed the business cards to the three people, and said, "Thank you for taking the time to participate. If you change your mind, we welcome your calls at any time, 24 hours a day."

The expressions of the three people were different, but they all accepted the business cards. Binny strode to the front passenger door and opened the door. Leon nodded to the three people and got in the car.

He still has a long lobbying road ahead of him.

Until ten o'clock in the evening, Leon had already lobbied the representatives of seven labor unions. These representatives were in the same situation as the three representatives interviewed for the first time. They were all born and bred in State A, and they were all suppressed by capital without knowing it.

Facing Leon's interview, some of them were preoccupied, some disagreed, and some were hesitant, but no matter what the reaction was, Leon's response was vague, "Let's think about it again."

Leon walked out of the last building dry-mouthed, and when he looked up, he saw the moon and stars. Binny handed him a bottle of mineral water, and Leon drank more than half of it as soon as he raised his head.

He put down the water bottle, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm still wondering which industry representative made the appointment so late, but it turned out to be a programmer, and they only have some free time during the dinner break at nine o'clock in the evening." Come and listen to me, and then work overtime."

As for the workers, it is impossible to come out of the factory to listen to someone, let alone express their opinions. This is why the three of George and the others became union representatives: they are currently unemployed.

After he finished talking, Leon raised his head again and drank the remaining mineral water in one gulp.

Binny was a little worried about the current situation, took the empty bottle from Leon's hand, and said, "None of them promised you directly, they were all just perfunctory."

"It's okay, they told us to wait, and we will wait."

Leon raised his hand, as if he was going to wipe his mouth with his cuff, but Binny took out a handkerchief and pressed it to his mouth, avoiding the embarrassment of his white suit getting dirty.

"Why do you still have a handkerchief?" Leon looked at the handkerchief over and over again, and the corner of the handkerchief still had a pattern of Mickey Mouse.

"Disney's classic commemorative model."

Facing Leon's strange eyes looking at Mickey Mouse and then at him again, Binny couldn't do it calmly. Judging from the tone of his words, it seemed that Kobe Bryant was not printed on the corner of the handkerchief. signature.

"Can this... be washed?" Although Leon doesn't understand Disney, he always feels that the three words "commemorative model" are very rare.

After all, the commemorative money is just a means for businessmen to make money, but the weird thing is that if a piece of waste paper with a logo is stamped with a "commemorative money", it will appear unclear.

"It's okay, I'll see you off. Actually, I don't like Mickey very much, but Disney insists on selling the whole set." Binny opened the car door and signaled Leon to sit down.

"Let's forget it." Leon smiled dryly and stuffed his handkerchief into his pocket, "I will definitely lose it."

"No big deal," Charles in the driver's seat turned his head and winked his eyes, "Binney has a full set of Pokémon, and that's his true love."

"Do you have an opinion?" Binny asked fiercely. If you ignore his reddish ears, this attitude can still scare people.

Charles turned his head pretending to be wronged, but laughed with Leon.

After the two sat firmly in the back seat, Charles, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately started the car and slowly backed the car out of the garage.

Binny picked up his notebook again, and opened Leon's personal website to check the feedback. Since the press conference in the afternoon, so far, more than 4000 people have received a bonus of 500 yuan.

In the beginning, there were indeed boring greetings or swearing or meaningless slobbering, but when people saw that the money was actually in the account, nearly 700 people became more cautious.Some people wrote a long article eloquently, which seemed to be well-founded. Although some people wrote briefly, it could be seen that they were racking their brains for feedback, and the number of nutritious visitors was gradually increasing.

On Weibo, Binny applied for a personal account for Leon, and the number of fans was approaching four digits.

At the beginning, most of the comments were discussing "I think Leon is very handsome after seeing the advertisement, it's a pity not to be a star", and a small part of the comments were asking and questioning Leon's performance at the press conference. speech.

Later, whenever Leon went to a place to negotiate, Binny would promptly take pictures of the work scenes in this industry, named them "all walks of life", and posted them on Weibo. Gradually, the discussion below became "industry "Compared with the tragic conference", the style of painting was successfully taken away.

This night, apart from the busy Leon and his party, the other people involved were also not peaceful.

George told the workers that the representatives were not here to buy tickets. This fact disappointed the young workers, but George didn't have time to take care of all this. Instead, he returned to the rented room in a daze and fell on the bed.

The interview with Leon had greatly shaken his heart.

George couldn't help but ask himself, is the life he wants now?He is still young, only 24 years old, if he does not gamble this time, what can he do in the future?

Going through middle age like Martin and then becoming an old man like Sam?

What else can I do?

George tossed and turned in bed, finally lying on his back looking at the dirty ceiling.

"I don't want to," he said to himself, "I really don't want to."

Then... take a gamble.

The first call he received was from George. In fact, Leon was not surprised. He had already seen that the young man had been persuaded by him. It was just that he lacked experience and had a self-preserving mentality, so he didn't immediately agree.

But to be honest, it was a young man like George who was the first to call, which made Leon feel very relieved.

He is not afraid that middle-aged and old people are cautious and timid, and dare not venture forward, but if even young people dare not resist and choose to shrink in the dark, the world will really be over.

So, even though it was already twelve o'clock in the night when George called, Leon still talked a lot with him on the phone.

George was originally a passionate young man, and he immediately said that since he participated, he could find a way to help Leondo win votes.

At five in the morning, Binny got a call from Sam.

Elderly people have less sleep time, not to mention that Sam didn't sleep at all. At this moment, he was sitting in a small room full of smoke, and a few old guys about their age were sitting around the table.

"Let's take a gamble." Finally, a senior person among them made a decision. Unlike Sam, a worker with a secondary technical education, this old man received a higher education when he was young. He was also him. After listening to Sam's report, Bring them together.

"We don't want our children to experience the same half of their lives. It's too hard." He looked around at the old faces and said, "We have all stepped into the grave with one foot, and there is nothing to lose. At this time Don’t dare to act yet, do we have to wait until we die to leave a will to support the younger generation?—we don’t even have an inheritance!”

"Sam also agreed." Binny put down the phone and said, "He can promote us in the senior activity center."

Leon nodded, yawned and walked into the bathroom, intending to take a quick shower for himself.

Binny and Charles didn't sleep well last night.

At one o'clock in the morning, Binny, who was still paying attention to the Internet, discovered a more serious problem. Overnight, their online advertisements were squeezed into an inconspicuous corner, while Kennan's advertisements hit overwhelmingly.

Binny made several phone calls, and the advertisers were embarrassed and euphemistically said that the bid was higher than them. After all, this is an era of competition, so even if they have to pay liquidated damages, it is impossible for them to let Leon's advertisement return. On the main stage.

Hearing the other party say the breach of contract in a high-sounding way, Binny was so angry that he had to cut off the call abruptly to avoid a quarrel with the advertiser.

Any impulsive behavior that affects reputation is not worth doing during a campaign.

Therefore, when the computer webpage showed that Leon had 66 votes, even though the number of votes was thin, the three felt encouraged.

As a result, Martin was the only representative of the first batch of interviewers who had not yet responded.

The author has something to say: Leon: I wonder if this person will choose to go to Disney when they are dating?No, why should I care about this?

Binny: So are you going?A day trip to Disney?

Leon: ...you are too annoying.
