Rebirth of the American Super Boss Road

"...Times have changed, and we must also change with them." After a while, Li Lucheng finally spoke: "We can't always live by the old rules. If there are suitable opportunities and methods, who doesn't want to improve himself and his compatriots?" With such a status, you are respected wherever you go?"

With that said, he turned to look at Li Hongfei: "Xiao Wu, first tell me what you think?"

Li Hongfei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and then said: "Grandpa Zeng, this is what I think. This Steve Barton wants to get the votes of us Chinese people. This is actually a good thing. It shows that the other party wants us Chinese people. Both sides To the extent that it's equal - equal cooperation, it's good for both sides."

Li Lucheng nodded slowly: "Yes, that's the truth."

The old man has lived a lifetime, how can he not know that equal cooperation between both parties is true cooperation?Li Hongfei's words moved him instantly.

"The most and only thing that we Chinese can take advantage of now is votes," Li Hongfei continued: "I did a simple calculation and found that our family and our relatives together have almost There are hundreds of votes. If you are willing to mobilize your old friends, I estimate that it will not be difficult for us to get 200 votes.

These 200 votes are the biggest bargaining chip in our hands. For any city councilor, so many votes deserve their high attention and careful treatment. "

Li Lucheng and Li Yonggui nodded together, with a hint of joy on their faces involuntarily. They both felt that Li Hongfei was right.

No matter how far away from politics the Chinese are, they have lived in the United States for so many years, and they still know something about elections in this country. Everyone knows the importance of votes to any candidate.

Only Li Changsheng frowned and said: "More than 200 votes are useless, right? If a member wants to be elected, he needs at least tens of thousands of votes to be elected, right?"

As soon as Li Changsheng said this, Li Lucheng and Li Yonggui couldn't help but look serious: Indeed, compared to thousands, tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of votes, are the one or two hundred votes in their hands really useful?

Even Zhao Xiao'e, who didn't say much at the side, couldn't help but feel a little depressed after hearing this: I'm sorry the votes in our hands don't count that much.

"Dad, you can't say that," Li Hongfei smiled and shook his head: "I specifically learned about the last city council election. You will know how important the two hundred or two votes we have are."

Li Changsheng nodded: "You say."

“In the last city council election, the two main candidates in District 2 were Haaland, director of the Golden Gate Bridge and Thruway Transportation Authority, and banker Scott. After the first round of counting, Haaland Mr. De led Mr. Scott by 184 votes. After the second and third rounds of re-votes were counted, Mr. Haaland won by a narrow margin of 50.62% to 49.38, with a gap of only 270 votes," said At this point, Li Hongfei looked at his father and elders confidently: "Dad, do you still think that the one or two hundred votes in our hands are not important?"

Li Lucheng, Li Yonggui and Li Changsheng's eyes suddenly lit up: They originally thought that the one or two hundred votes they could influence didn't matter, but did they actually have such a big effect?Can he directly influence whether a respected city councilor can be elected?

Great!

Careless!

Why didn’t you know before that your vote was so important?

Zhao Xiao'e looked excited and happy. She felt that the third child had really grown up and discovered such important details.

Li Hongfei continued: "The point of this matter is that for Mr. Barton, our two hundred or two votes are completely in vain. How could any Chinese vote in the past? If the conditions given to us by Mr. Barton are good enough, we can still Let's find a way to help him get more votes in our Chinatown. In this way, maybe we can bring him three to four hundred more votes, but now there is a more serious problem..."

A group of people in the Li family were thinking about what benefits they could use this election to win for the Chinese, for Chinatown, and even for themselves. Now they heard Li Hongfei say that there was still a more serious problem, and they suddenly became anxious. Li Changsheng quickly asked :"what is the problem?"

Li Hongfei said: "If we want to influence this year's city council election with our votes, we must register voters before April 4th..."

“Voter registration?”

Everyone in the room looked at a loss. In their concept, the right to vote is equivalent to American citizens voting. Zhao Xiao'e asked on behalf of everyone's doubts: "What is this? As long as you are an American citizen, Can’t you just vote?”

"Mom, it's not what you think," Li Hongfei said with a smile: "According to the relevant election laws and regulations of the United States, any American citizen who has not committed any crime has the right to vote and be elected, but this does not mean that this citizen can directly vote. , he needs to register at the local election office first, and only after becoming a voter can he have the right to vote and participate in elections. If he is not registered as a voter, he cannot vote or participate in the election."

Hearing that he still had to register, Zhao Xiao'e was a little unhappy and muttered: "Why is it so troublesome?"

Li Changsheng, who felt that he knew less than his son and was a little embarrassed, suddenly felt that he had found an opportunity to save face, and immediately said to Zhao Xiao'e angrily: "You are so stupid when you hear this. I think this rule is right, and Absolutely! This is the same reason that all students are eligible to go to college, but not all students go to college. The university opens its doors to all students, and you can get in as long as you pass the exam.

This election is the same thing. The election is open to all American citizens who have not committed any crime. But if you don’t register as a voter, who can blame you? "

Zhao Xiao'e also knew that what her man said was reasonable, but she was scolded by Li Changsheng in front of several elders. Her face was somewhat uneasy, she glared at Li Changsheng and said angrily: "Okay, okay, you are the only one who understands." Okay?"

"Ahem... don't argue. How old are you? Are you still arguing in front of your children?"

Li Yonggui first said something about his son and daughter-in-law, and then said to Li Hongfei: "Xiao Wu, I understand what you mean. Are you saying that no matter what happens in the future, let's get this elector qualification first?" (Explain: The third child is because Li Hongfei has three biological brothers and sisters, and the fifth child is ranked among his cousins)
