Chapter 1511 Lucky Omar
Zhou Ming also knew about Parsons Jr.'s withdrawal from the election. Although Zhou Ming received a call from Parsons yesterday, Zhou Ming thought that this "old campaign family" in San Francisco could be tougher. As a result, he never expected that in less than a day, he gave up and gave up the election.
Omar and Zhu Kongming were also confused because they were also prepared to deal with the various despicable methods of the Parsons family, but they did not expect that they would surrender so quickly.
Especially Zhu Kongming, as a person who was once defeated by the Parsons family, he knew the energy of the Parsons family well. He also made plans for some of the situations he encountered in the past, but he did not expect that so many of his plans could not come in handy, so Zhou Ming ended it directly.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, you are so awesome. How did you do it?" Zhu Kongming said in surprise.
"Did Mr. Zhou Ming get the support of the governor or the state legislature?" Omar was also very curious.
Zhou Ming shook his head and told them that he did not receive support from the governor or the state legislature, nor even used any political means: "I just used some commercial means."
This answer once again shocked Omar and Zhu Kongming, because if Zhou Ming had solved the problem through campaign means, they would not be surprised even if Zhou Ming had broken through the relationship between the governor and Senator Zhou, but they never expected that it was a commercial means.
Is this a mistake? How can commercial means solve the election problem? Even if you can do a certain number of projects, you may not be able to threaten a city council member. After all, these things have nothing to do with him in principle, and at most it will make the mayor a little uncomfortable, but that's it.
Zhou Ming told them: "You still remember that I went to the headquarters building of Tangren Bank yesterday, and I held the board of directors of the Internet Investment Fund. At the meeting, I said that I would launch a total war against the Parsons family, and then these shareholders and friends helped me very enthusiastically. I guess it might be that they put pressure on the Parsons family."
Omar and Zhu Kongming both didn't know what to say, and they knew in their hearts that things would definitely not be that simple.
But that's the case, but the only difference is that after Zhou Ming told these shareholders that they would go to war with the Parsons family, these shareholders immediately took action when they returned.
They judged that Zhou Ming was warning them so publicly, so they immediately investigated the industry situation of their family in San Francisco when they went back, especially focusing on the people about the Parsons family. As long as they found out, they would find a way to terminate the cooperation.
This is a typical example of Ning Killing and not letting go. No one wants to be unable to get along with Zhou Ming for the sake of the Parsons family, so he can only let the Parsons family die.
If it were just a family, it would definitely not be a big deal for a family that had been standing in San Francisco for more than half a century. But now everyone has started to move, which makes the Parsons family collectively sad. It is precisely because of this that the Parsons family immediately felt unprecedented pressure. In the end, the old Parsons hurriedly came out to withdraw from the election and gave in.
Old Parsons now doesn't dare to play the trick of repairing the plank road and secretly traveling to Chen Cang, and he wants to support another person in the election. If he announces his withdrawal, he will really withdraw from the election.
Therefore, after Parsons Jr. officially withdrew from the election, this campaign became Omar's performance moment alone.
.
However, despite this, Omar still did not relax any vigilance and still sprinted to this campaign with all his might. So after Omar and Ju Kongming's deep cultivation in Anitas, Omar was finally elected with more than 10,000 votes.
Old Parsons couldn't help but feel a little regretful about this result, because according to their ability to win the mayor's appeal, a mere 10,000 votes were not a threat, but in the end, he had to play outside the game, and he forced himself to withdraw from the election and gave up his position as a member of parliament.
Of course, you can also think that even if you don’t do this, Zhou Ming can still do this to force them to quit the election.
It's just that this is the idea, but it's more likely that Zhou Ming, as an outsider who doesn't know anything, only knows how to run simply and dare not play any external tricks.
Regardless of the result, they are very upset.
Then on March 1, Omar took the oath to be elected as a member of parliament in the square in front of the parliament building. Of course, according to convention, Omar also delivered a very generous inauguration speech.
The speech was written by Omar himself. He first emphasized the fairness of the election, emphasizing that no matter everyone's skin color or ancestral home, he has the right to run and be elected. At the same time, Omar is also very grateful to the voters and others who have been constantly giving him firm support during his campaign.
Omar finally said that he would take his work seriously and strive to do a good job in San Francisco's medical insurance work within his own authority, so that the Medical and Drug Development Committee can truly play a role.
This speech sounds like a very ordinary inaugural speech by ordinary people, but when Omar's inaugural speech came out, it still shocked the entire American political circle, including the rich people who have a certain understanding of the election, including Piero and Freeman, and were also surprised: is he actually responsible for the work of the Medical and Drug Development Committee?
Many people don’t know what MPs do, they just think that MPs are just like movies and TV, just talking big in parliament. But in fact, MPs are already considered first-level officials, and they are officials who can get paid for public office.
The Parliament is called a parliament, but in fact it is a huge government agency with many different institutional committees. Due to the particularity of the parliament, the institutional committee is set up quite casually. No matter what, even if you want to set up a toilet research committee, you can set it up as long as you can convince other parliamentarians to convince the speaker.
Of course, most of these inexplicable committees are just for fun. Some members of the parliament do this to achieve their own goals, but more powerful committees, such as the Transportation Committee and the Education Committee, and many committees even have their own investigative bodies and have agent employees who are loyal to the parliamentarians.
Therefore, when watching American TV series or American blockbusters, you can often see scenes where FBI agents report tasks to senators in Congress. This is actually the reason.
It is precisely because of the different work of each member of the MPs that the status and status of each member of the MPs are different. After all, you, a MP in charge of archives, will definitely not be comparable to that of the MP in charge of financial banks.
The United States is a country that ranks seniority and divides people into different levels. From the perspective of public opinion, the members of the election are divided into senior members and senior members; then you don’t have to think about it.
It is said that since seniority is the seniority, senior members will definitely get important and more important committee management rights. On the contrary, if you are just a newcomer, you will even be assigned to the Archives Management Committee.
But judging from Omar's inaugural speech, it is incredible that he, the guy who ran for the city council for the first time, even from Chicago to San Francisco, can directly get popular departments like the Medical and Drug Commission.
You should know that medical care and medicine represent wealth in the United States, and the heads of relevant committees can deal with insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies every day. Just one bill can exchange for a house on the luxurious Montgomery Street.
"Why should a senior congressman get the medical committee? This is simply unreasonable. Are all idiots sitting in the San Francisco City Council? No one took the medical committee away and gave it to them for free?"
I don’t know how many people have asked such questions, because in their opinion, this is very subversive of tradition.
But the fact is that the MP who resigned was in charge of the medical committee, which was also the position he carefully selected for his son. What’s more important is that they had already discussed with the Medical Federation that they would push Parsons Jr. to the position together. Who knew that Zhou Ming suddenly jumped out and pushed Omar to the position directly disrupted all arrangements.
It would be fine if it was just like this. More importantly, Zhou Ming showed his relationship through his connections and forced Omar to abdicate very strongly.
This scared the whole of San Francisco.
Perhaps at first, some people thought that the Parsons family was timid and incompetent, and some even mocked Parsons for being a "fake wealthy family". But later, when they learned what methods Zhou Ming used, all of these people couldn't speak at once.
It is precisely because of this understanding that the entire San Francisco political circle has been suppressed, which has led to the fact that no one dares to take over such a department that is obviously a popular one.
It's no wonder that even the Parsons family was so dirty and he was so tough and reckless. Wouldn't that give it away?
I think so, but now when Omar really announced his responsibility for the Medical Committee at the entrance of the Parliament Building, all the members of the MPs in the building, especially those in charge of unpopular work, are simply so sad.
A new member of the by-election was elected, and a group of senior old members of the Parliament building were lying on the window to look at it. It was a rare sight.
"What's this Omar? Isn't it just that he's lucky? Parsons and those guys like to do this kind of thing, so he got this omission and wanted to run a serious campaign. Why did he get elected with 10,000 votes, and why should he be in charge of the medical committee..."
Some people said sourly to the sky, and of course some people saw the trick.
"Omar is indeed very lucky, but his luck is not that he was elected 10,000 votes and won the medical committee, but that he defected to a good boss."
This reminded everyone else, and they all agreed that a boss like Zhou Ming was indeed what they dreamed of, and that if they had such a boss, they could run for the president of the United States.
At this time, they just talked casually, and no one expected that one day in the future would come true.
