Back to 1995

After talking about this, Ertian and Anduran left one after another, while Song Yang was in the same study as Joshua Butler.

Joshua Butler sat down in front of Song Yang. They both knew why they met today. On the surface, Song Yang came to New York this time to participate in the listing of the Alcatel Group. The meeting with Joshua Butler is much more important than this.

Next year, the Cowboys' term of office will come to an end, and the era of the Elephant Party in America will also come to an end temporarily, and a new round of power games will begin again.

Over the past few years, the Little Cowboy Family Dynasty has donated various donors to the Little Cowboy, as well as the Federal Military-Industrial Complex, the Petroleum Group and other groups and institutions that are close to the Elephant Party, including powerful figures close to the Cowboy Family, Both power and social value have reached their peak. Just looking at how many times Song Yang's social value has doubled in these years, one can know what kind of life people in the party camp have lived in these years.

But there is no permanent banquet in the world, and there is no eternal dynasty, especially in a huge empire like America, it is not easy to control the empire for eight years.

The Elephant Party is full of food and drinks, and America and the other half of the big shots are hungry and waiting to sit on the table and have a full meal. How can the little cowboy and the Elephant Party continue to occupy the dining table.

In the general election next year, the Elephant Party has no hope of winning, but it is too difficult, especially since the second half of the last century, America has formed a tacit understanding that the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party will take turns to sit on the bank. Usually, each side sits on the bank once or twice. , and then change the other party to sit in the village. The two sides have a tacit understanding with each other. Everyone takes turns cutting the cake, and no one should eat alone.

There is another point, the people in the Cowboy camp have had a lot of food in the past few years, but for the rest of the American people, the life in the past few years has really been not very good.

The performance of the little cowboy has already disappointed the American people. Apart from the victories reported by the media for years of continuous wars, ordinary people in America have not seen any benefits at all. Instead, the price of oil keeps rising, and commodity prices in supermarkets, Also keep raising.

No matter who represents the Elephant Party next year, it is estimated that they will not be able to discuss it. They will have to carry the mess left by the Cowboys. Whether it is the habit of taking turns to be the dealer or the mess left by the Cowboys, it shows that the Donkey Party will win next year. The chances of the next general election are much greater than those of the Elephant Party!

Under such circumstances, including Song Yang, as well as other big donors from the donkey party, they all began to offer olive branches to the popular candidates for the leadership of the donkey party.

Among them, the wife of the commander-in-chief of the zipper door is the most popular one. The media speculates that the wife of the commander-in-chief will represent the donkey party and win the position of commander-in-chief next year. There are already countless adventurers this year, and they have already started Donate to the grand commander's wife.

The Bruno Family Foundation also donated a sum for her, but Song Yang did not bet on the wife of the former commander in chief. The two of them, there are already enough people around, and there is no shortage of Song Yang's beauty , and Song Yang's identity as the party's big sponsor is on his head, and now he bows and knees and votes for the couple. It's too ugly to say, and he may not really be able to integrate into their circle, and the powerful people around the couple may not Song Yang will be allowed to share the benefits that originally belonged to them!
So Song Yang just asked the Bruno Family Foundation to make a symbolic donation to the former grand commander and his wife, and then began to bet on others!
As for the donkey party, Song Yang is most familiar with and has the closest relationship with, without a doubt, Joshua Butler, the local snake in New York. As early as many years ago, the Bruno family began to contact Joshua Butler.

"Joshua, how sure do you think you can win the wife of the previous Grand Commander?!"

As soon as he came up, Song Yang unceremoniously asked Joshua Butler about his soul. On the side of the Donkey Party, there were many people who had made rumors that they were running for the election, including the wife of the former Grand Commander, Joshua Butler, and several years ago. Edwards, a powerful figure in the donkey party who teamed up with Kerry before to challenge the position of the general, and another "inconspicuous" figure, a senator from Illinois, is currently the only African-American in Capitol Hill Senator on Capitol Hill, but at this time, no one cared about this senator who was a university professor.

Because his opponent is really too strong. Not to mention other competitors, just the wife of the commander-in-chief, Edwards, and Joshua Butler, whose qualifications, background, supporters, and big donors are no better than Chicago He is much better at teaching law at the university!

Hearing Song Yang's question, Joshua Butler showed no worry on his face. If he dared to stand up this time, he would not be afraid of any opponents, including the couple who were said to be on the death list.

Looking at it now, he, Joshua Butler, seems to be somewhat inferior to the wife of the former Grand Commander, but he is from a top powerful family in America, and he exists at the same level as the Little Cowboy family!

"I can't guarantee that I will definitely win the Donkey Party's nomination for next year's commander-in-chief, but I can guarantee that it won't be that easy for the former wife of the commander-in-chief to win me!" Joshua Butler resolutely Said.

Song Yang looked at Joshua Butler in front of him, and tapped his fingers on the table, "Joshua, the Bruno family will support you, you know this, but..."

"The ugliest victory is better than a tragic failure. Compared with victory, failure is meaningless. We don't need to do something that is doomed to fail or has little chance of winning. It is meaningless!"

Joshua Butler frowned, staring at Song Yang closely, "So, Song, what do you want to do?!"

"You alone may not be able to win the wife of the former commander in chief, so how about adding another person?!" Song Yang took out a newspaper and pointed to a photo on it, which was the senator from Illinois , in a photo of attending a presentation.

Seeing the person above, Joshua Butler first gave a disdainful smile. Like the wife of the grand commander, he also looked down on the person in the photo, or didn't regard him as his opponent at all.

But looking at Song Yang's face, it didn't look like he was joking, Joshua Butler couldn't help but said, "Song, you mean to let me be his deputy?!"

Saying this, Joshua Butler himself felt a little absurd, and felt that this was really crazy.

"Because of the Cowboy Commander, American people don't like those big figures who are familiar or come from powerful families. In the eyes of those people, you, the Commander's wife, are actually like the Cowboy. People, but he is different, people like new things, and so do people!"

"If you join forces with him, you can bring him the contacts, resources, and big sponsors he needs most. As long as you win, you, like Cheney, can become the most powerful deputy commander in the history of America!
You can't become fat in one breath, as long as you bring your family back to the sight of the American people, one day, you will be able to change from the deputy commander to the commander of Amerika, and even build a dynasty like the cowboy family! "

Joshua Butler fell silent. He also knew that his family had been silent for too long, just like the Kennedy family. It sounded extremely famous, but it hadn't entered the Grand Commander's mansion for a long time, and its influence had declined badly. .

This time, as long as he can win, even as the deputy commander, it will bring his family back to the ranks of the top powerful families in America. In the future, the chances of competing for the position of commander in chief will be much greater than now!
As for Song Yang, supporting Joshua to become a deputy commander is more inconspicuous than directly supporting a major commander, and through Joshua Butler, connecting with the senator from Illinois, indirectly A new camp was formed. In the next few years, Song Yang did not expect to be as unscrupulous as he was in the cowboy period. As long as he was not targeted, that would be enough.

Picking up the wine on the table, poured a large glass of it, and drank it all in one gulp. Joshua Butler panted heavily, and finally heaved a long breath and nodded.

Just like what Song Yang said, if you fight against the wife of the previous grand commander, you may not win, but if you really deserve to form a team with other candidates, if you win, the benefits will be huge, but the risk will be much smaller. The most favorable choice for Shuah Butler, although he is a bit unwilling, but in his position, he is no longer the age to act on his own will, everything is based on the principle of profit!

"Change campaign tactics and contact that Illinois guy!"

After walking out of the study, Joshua Butler said to the Chief of Staff Capei who was waiting outside, leaving the battle-hardened Cappell stunned.

"It's changed now, our propaganda has begun..."

"Then push it back and start acting immediately!" Joshua Butler said directly without giving Capei a chance to explain.

After Joshua Butler left, Greck and Marcus came to the study. They all knew that Song Yang had changed Joshua Butler's mind, and Greck couldn't help asking, "Song, you really like Illinois Can the one in the state win the wife of the previous commander?!"

"Who knows!"

"Since the two answers are both bad results, why not choose the one that is relatively less bad? No matter who becomes the new Grand Commander next year, it will be better than the previous Grand Commander's wife winning!"

Song Yang said helplessly to the two of them, after all, the donkey party is no match for the relationship between the elephant party and Song Yang. The little cowboy has been the commander-in-chief these years, it is really the best time for Song Yang in America. Know when to show up again!
"Marcus, from now on, the cash flow must be gradually tightened. Part of the equity in companies such as ICQ, Alcatel Group, and Fortinet must be cashed out. There must be sufficient cash flow in the account of the North American Global Investment Fund. It can guarantee that in the worst case, there will be enough dollars to allow companies such as ICQ, Alcatel Group, Fortinet, and DoubleClick to operate normally!"

Hearing Song Yang's words, Greg and Marcus suddenly became serious.
