If you are the Speaker of the California Assembly, how much does it cost to rent a Lord car for a year? That is a company's business secret and cannot be disclosed. However, if you rent a car, you can usually give it to the driver. If you get tired of the driver and the car after driving it for a year, you can come back and exchange it for a new one.
If you were a janitor at the California Capitol—
Sorry, no car!
Look at how fair they are. It’s not that they don’t rent, but that they don’t have a car and can’t find any fault with it.
Of course Mike Carlisle is so generous because of his demands. The California factory is now facing difficulties. Eric Raymond, as the speaker of the California Assembly, can help. Not to mention banning the sale of Ford cars in California, at least he must help the California factory.
Lifting the ban was not difficult for Eric Raymond.
The key lies with Frederick.
At the auction after the charity dinner, Mike Carlyle spent $80,000 on a painting created by Frederick's daughter.
This painting is hard to describe. It is said that Frederic's daughter nailed the canvas to the wall, then randomly poured paint on the canvas and let it drip on the canvas, creating a criss-crossing abstract line effect.
During the painting process, Frederick's daughter also used rocks, sand, iron nails and broken glass mixed with paint to rub on the canvas. She abandoned the painting tools commonly used by painters and completely got rid of the constraints of her wrists, elbows and shoulders when painting.
In the traditional model, where actions are improvised and random, this approach is known as action painting or abstract expressionism.
It sounds very powerful, right? It's actually very powerful, at least Mike Carlisle can't understand what Frederick's daughter is drawing.
But this does not prevent Mike Carlyle from spending 80,000 US dollars to buy this painting. Not to mention that Mike Carlile cannot understand it. Even if Frederick brings his daughter’s damaged rag doll to auction, Mike Carlile will still spend the money.
Bought it outright for $80,000.
After the dinner, Mike Carlisle finally got the opportunity to talk in detail with Frederick in person.
"So, your purpose is to lift the ban on automobile production." Frederick was not very enthusiastic at this time, and he didn't even show a trace of expression.
Politicians are also very tired. At the dinner, no matter who it is, Frederick must smile and be enthusiastic, trying to win as much support as possible.
Now that it was a private occasion, Frederick did not need to disguise himself. He even took off his suit jacket, threw away his tie, unbuttoned his shirt, and lay down on a recliner in a very inconspicuous manner.
This gesture shows that Frederick is very relaxed. He has regarded Mike Carlisle as one of his own and does not want to pretend in front of Mike Carlisle.
"I not only want to lift the ban on car production, but I also want Ferdinand to be ruined. The moment he issued the ban, he was the enemy of our Nyasaland Automobile Group. We Nyasalands never let go of any enemy.
." Mike Carlisle's voice was cold, and his method of doing things without leaving any room for retreat suited Frederick very well.
"It's hard to do that my friend, California is not Nyasaland, we can't be unscrupulous." Frederick waved his hand lazily. Even if the ban is lifted, it will only happen after Frederick wins the election. American politicians are still very
Rationally, business is business and the bottom line cannot be exceeded.
"Then kill him directly!" Mike Carlisle was decisive, and Frederick was startled.
"Kill a sitting governor? Are you crazy?" Frederick suddenly felt that the $80,000 just now was a bit hot.
"Lincoln was killed by his opponent. Is it crazy to kill a governor?" Mike Carlisle said calmly, not joking.
Frederic finally got up, frowned and paced the room, killing Ferdinand, killing, killing--
"No, no, no, my friend, we can't do this. We have to use normal methods to solve this problem. Things have not deteriorated to this extent yet." Frederick finally came to his senses. If Mike Carlisle can kill Ferdinand today, then tomorrow
Mike Carlisle can kill Frederick—
This conclusion shocked Frederick, and he immediately felt a chill running down his spine.
"What method is considered within the normal range?" Mike Carlisle smiled, but in Frederick's eyes, his smile must have been a sinister smile.
"Your factory can file a lawsuit in the state court. I have a good relationship with the judge. When the time comes, I can help you argue the case. You only need to rule that Ferdinand's ban is invalid, and then your factory can resume production." Frederick was positive.
, we can’t be beaten and killed at every turn.
"Okay, then it's up to you -" Mike Carlisle was satisfied. He didn't necessarily want to kill Ferdinand, he was just showing his attitude.
There were professional lawyers in Mike Carlisle's team. After returning to San Diego, Mike Carlisle asked the lawyer to formally submit a lawsuit to the California state court, accusing Ferdinand of abusing his power and improperly interfering with the normal production of the California factory.
At this stage in the United States, free trade is gaining the upper hand, emphasizing that the government cannot conduct administrative intervention in the market and encouraging full competition in the market.
The California factory's lawsuit against Ferdinand immediately aroused widespread public attention, and Hoover also called from San Francisco to express his concern about the matter.
Hoover was on a lecture tour in San Francisco. He wanted to run for president, but he had not yet passed the Democratic primary and was seeking a spot in the Democratic Party.
However, Hoover's chances of winning were not high. In this presidential election, the most popular candidate was Warren G. Harding, the candidate representing the Republican Party.
The current President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, is a Democrat like Hoover. Because the United States gained nothing in the world war, the Democratic Party’s election was affected. The Republican Party used this to attack the Democratic Party. Hoover’s intention to run for office also affected him.
The work on the Relief and Rehabilitation Committee was, in short, not worth the gain.
"Asshole, damn British guy, how dare he do this? Immediately send people to San Diego, close that damn factory, and drive all those British guys out of California -" In a villa on the outskirts of Los Angeles, the current governor of California, Ferdinand, was furious.
He already knew about the lawsuit against him at Nyasaland Automotive Group's California plant, and now his office in Los Angeles was crowded with reporters waiting to interview him.
Ferdinand's old friend, California Attorney General Charles Lowry, and Democratic state congressman Peter Walsh looked at each other. In fact, Ferdinand did not want to kill the California factory, but just put pressure on the California factory. Unfortunately, it backfired and destroyed Niassa.
Lan Automobile Group has completely forced itself into the Republican camp.
Ferdinand's mouth was dry, so he angrily picked up the water glass and drank it all in one gulp. When he put the glass down, he was still foaming at the mouth.
"Stop, stop, Ferdinand, venting will not solve the problem. We must resolve this matter properly. You know, Nyasaland Automobile Group has a very good relationship with the top leaders of our Democratic Party. I have received several calls in the past few days.
, Herbert and Vincent are both paying attention to this matter, you underestimated the influence of Nyasaland Automobile Group." Peter Walsh stopped, he could see that Ferdinand was already in chaos, at the key point of the election
When this happened during this period, it was a fatal blow to Ferdinand's prestige.
Herbert was Hoover, and Vincent was a senior Democratic congressman. They both had huge influence in the Democratic Party.
"You mean to ask me to admit defeat to Nyasaland Automobile Group? Impossible, absolutely impossible, I will never admit defeat like that yellow man!" Ferdinand spoke unhesitatingly, Charles Lawrie and Peter Walsh
They all had solemn expressions.
"Ferdinand, pay attention to your words. The yellow man you are talking about is a Marquis of the British Empire and the commander-in-chief of the British Expeditionary Force during the World War. You should know what consequences your words will have if they spread." Peter Waugh
Ersh reminded in a deep voice that although the United States is already an independent country, Britain, as the sovereign state of the United States, still has huge influence in the United States.
Americans have very complicated feelings towards Britain, which are not the same as those in southern Africa. On the one hand, Americans want to replace Britain, but on the other hand, they are full of admiration for Britain. This feeling will not gradually disappear until after World War II.
, until then, the United States will become a truly independent country.
After hearing Peter Walsh's words, Ferdinand finally calmed down a little, sat down on the chair angrily, lowered his head and sulked secretly.
"The most important thing now is to let Nyasaland Auto Group drop the lawsuit. If the lawsuit continues until the election, it will definitely have a huge impact on our election. It is said that Mike Carlisle has donated $80,000 to Frederick.
Ferdinand, you have to admit that you messed up everything. This $80,000 should have belonged to our Democratic Party." Charles Lowry is a standard American old handsome guy, with silver-white hair, hale and hearty, and strong facial lines, full of sculptures
feel.
"I sent Tom to the California factory of Nyasaland Automobile Group. They showed no sign at all and were unwilling to donate even a dollar." Ferdinand was still angry. In his eyes, Nyasaland Automobile Group was arrogant.
The current result is entirely caused by the arrogance of Nyasaland Automobile Group.
"Even if they are unwilling to donate to you, they will never donate to Frederick. Whether you admit it or not, you personally forced Nyasaland Automobile Group into the Republican camp. You must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.
Otherwise, our election will be in danger." Peter Walsh is still worried about the election. As California's population increases, California's status becomes more and more important. If the Democratic Party loses the power to govern California
, then it might affect the next presidential election.
By then, Ferdinand will become the sinner of the Democratic Party.
