Chapter 40: Can't Avoid
Seeing Adrian's gaze, Song Yang thought for a moment and understood what Adrian wanted to do.
"According to the plan, Double Click's advertising sales staff will reach 300 before the end of the year..."
Without hearing Song Yang finish, Adrian said directly, "Before the end of next month, Double Click Company will complete its staff expansion!"
In Adrian's constituency, the creation of 300 new jobs means that 300 families voted for him. These 300 families may even affect 600 or 800 votes.
!
Why do powerful people in the federation want to curry favor with large groups? In addition to obtaining campaign funds, those large groups can easily have tens of thousands of people under their control and can influence tens of thousands of families and hundreds of thousands of votes, which is enough to decide whether a certain congressman in a region will go.
Stayed.
Hearing that Adrian wanted to interfere with Double Click Company, Song Yang frowned slightly. Adrian had broken Double Click Company's original plan.
At this time, Matthews, who was standing aside, coughed and said, "Congressman Adrian, I remember you are promoting a proposal for emerging technology companies in Houston?!"
Adrian slapped his forehead, as if he had just remembered, and said to Song Yang, "I am promoting a proposal for emerging technology companies in Houston to exempt emerging companies like Double Click from tax for one year, so that they can
Better to develop!”
This is an exchange. As long as Song Yang can add 300 jobs to Adrian's constituency, he can use his power as a parliamentarian to exempt Double Click Company from taxes for one year.
You must know that Texas does not collect state taxes, nor does it collect taxes from the rich. If we exempt Double Click Company from taxes now, it will at least reduce Double Click Company's expenses by one-third. As for next year, it will still be exempted, or it will receive subsidies.
And so on, it all depends on the relationship with Adrian.
Faced with such conditions, Song Yang had no reason to refuse, "I also think that Double Click Company has reached the point where it needs to expand its manpower."
"I think Congressman Adrian is the best candidate for mayor of Houston. For this reason, I am willing to donate funds to Congressman Adrian's campaign office!"
Seeing Song Yang being so understanding, Adrian finally showed a smile on his face. Song Yang was willing to invest money in his campaign, which already showed his attitude.
As for how much money to vote, Adrian doesn't care too much. It's not a state election or a member of Congress at the moment. In addition, he is running in the territory of the Elephant Party. In fact, the money burned is not much. The more it depends on Adrian.
The connections accumulated over the years and the support of the elephant party bosses.
When it comes to the governor's election, or even the general election, that's the time to burn money. Tens of billions of dollars are easily available. With Song Yang's current net worth, he has not even got the ticket to enter this money-burning game.
.
Don't look at those big benefactors who are so desperate to burn money, but as long as the one they support becomes the commander-in-chief, then the money burned in the next four years will be earned back exponentially. Otherwise, in America, you will lose money.
Who is willing to do the business?
Adrian patted Song Yang on the shoulder, and then he and Matthews went to talk to the next person. After leaving, Adrian whispered to Matthews, "Nice young man!"
Matthews could tell that Adrian was quite satisfied with Song Yang. Generally speaking, young Americans of Song Yang's age would be extremely arrogant if they had Song Yang's net worth.
It's not pleasing to the eyes, let alone listening to the nagging of someone like Adrian.
"Young people are prone to making mistakes and often cannot tell who their allies and opponents are. In addition, most of his wealth is only paper wealth..."
As Adrian's chief aide, Matthews is more cautious than Adrian. He has to select the most suitable allies for Adrian and deal with the most difficult opponents.
Adrian laughed, looked back at Song Yang, and then whispered to Matthews, "I hope he can get up. Chenier Energy and United Energy's gang have gone too far...
"
When he said this, Adrian looked a little dissatisfied. Obviously, the energy giants in Houston did not come cheap for Adrian's support, and their appetite was getting bigger and bigger. At least in comparison, Song Yang's support was not cheap.
Much easier to talk to.
Adrian doesn't want to be a puppet manipulated by a giant company. You must know that he is famous for his decisive character and decisiveness, but in recent years he has become more and more diplomatic.
Just as Adrian and Matthews left, a special person unexpectedly came to Song Yang's side. Seeing this person coming to Song Yang's side, many people in the small restaurant couldn't help but cast their eyes over.
"President Kenneth!"
Song Yang didn't expect that Kenneth, the boss of Enron, would come specifically to find him.
"Can I say a few words?" Kenneth handed Song Yang a glass of wine.
Song Yang took the wine glass and nodded, and Kenneth spoke in person. Song Yang couldn't refuse at all. Now Enron is a behemoth, with annual revenue exceeding tens of billions of dollars. Enron has provoked Enron in Houston. As expected, he won't be able to stay.
It must be Song Yang and Double Click Company.
"Although Enron is a traditional energy company, it is not averse to emerging businesses. In fact, Enron is preparing for telecommunications business!" Kenneth took a sip of wine and looked at Song Yang and said.
Song Yang took a sip of wine and looked surprised, but his mind was spinning rapidly, wondering why Kenneth said this to him. Anyway, it was definitely not a trivial thing to say it from the mouth of a person with Kenneth's status.
"Enron is at the forefront of the times. Compared to Microsoft, Intel is more innovative!"
Song Yang complimented Kenneth. This was true. Microsoft and Intel were indeed not as responsive as Enron. Enron had already started to work in telecommunications. These two companies had not yet made any move. When Netscape got angry, Microsoft
Only then did he react.
Kenneth couldn't help laughing again. He felt that Song Yang, a young man, was much more pleasing to the eye than the others. He liked Enron to become "new" rather than remain the same.
"Enron intends to develop in the telecommunications broadband and Internet industries. Enron even has an Internet plan. Song, maybe Enron and Double Click can cooperate!"
If Kenneth pointed out something, he patted Song Yang on the shoulder like a boss, and then left.
In the small restaurant, when they saw Kenneth leaving with a big smile, they all looked at Song Yang with admiration. They didn't expect that he would be favored by a person like Kenneth.
Greg was also a little excited. This is Enron, America is an absolute giant. America is ranked seventh among giant companies, and the Fortune 500 is also ranked sixteenth. Being related to such a giant is enough for a double click.
The company skyrocketed.
However, there was no joy in Song Yang's heart. Instead, he felt a pain in his heart. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to. He already knew what Kenneth was planning to do. What else could it be besides the trading website Enron Online?
