Chapter 181 Election Party

The beautiful country’s presidential election stipulates that each person’s annual donation to a single candidate cannot exceed US$50,000.

In addition to the upper limit on donations, the law also prohibits foreigners, businesses, enterprises and labor unions that cooperate with the government from donating to candidates.

Therefore, Wang Heng cannot actually donate to Lucian, but Wang Heng doesn’t know, and Lin Wenying doesn’t know either.

Lucian knew how to avoid legal loopholes. He thought Wang Heng knew about it, so he didn't say anything.

In fact, it is very simple. Wang Heng only needs to find a spokesperson in the beautiful country, such as Zach,

It’s easy to handle if it doesn’t exceed US$50,000. You can pool the heads. Use Facebook employees to pool the heads. 10 people will be 500,000, and 100 people will be 5 million.

The campaign organization run by Lucian is called "Operation Beautiful Country First".

Before the establishment of the company, a group of helpers were recruited, most of whom were former fellow villagers and one of his disciples. Among them were the God of Wealth - Gaitlin, the female economic consultant - Luo Mo, the male economic consultant - Samsi, and the general manager - Ouchi.

Luo Mu, counselor-David,

After establishing the "Beautiful Country Priority Action", Lucian received several donations, including the 68-year-old hedge fund James. who donated a fixed amount of 4.1 million, the 90-year-old media tycoon Anne Koala who donated 2.1 million, and the 73-year-old founder of Qualcomm.

E. Mark donated 2 million,



Lucian started his legendary journey only after he received more than 10 million in starting capital for the first time. In 2008, he spent 760 million U.S. dollars, which was not all spent at once.

Candidates first set up a campaign organization to raise a certain amount of funds and then end up fighting. Just like fighting monsters and leveling up, they will get more attention and support every time they win, and naturally the money raised will be more and more.

Just like starting a company, the initial investment is equivalent to angel investment, and then the A round, B round, C round, etc., until the listing.

Generally, you spend as much as you raise, so if you don't make it to the end, all the early money will be wasted.

Lucian's opponent, who lost in the last round, also spent about 360 million US dollars. Basically, it was at this time that the big chaebols would end. Whoever the big chaebols supported would win.

Why is it said that the president of the beautiful country is the spokesperson of the big chaebols? Because if you don’t get the support of the big chaebols in the last step, you won’t win. This is also the reason why those big chaebols remain standing.

It is said that the money of the gentry is returned in full, and the money of the common people is divided into 30 and 70. The same is true for the election of the beautiful country. In the end, the money taken from the plutocrats will naturally be returned.

This is just like a listed company's IPO, which requires investment banks to price and underwrite, so no matter who is selected, they will not lose and sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

After reading Wang Heng's information, Lucian didn't care much anymore. He regarded Wang Heng as a lucky boy.

There is only one page of information about Wang Heng. Wang Heng, who was born in 1983, was invited to go to Yahoo. When he met Zach, whose negotiations with Yahoo failed, he proposed to invest one billion US dollars in Facebook.

However, in the end, he only invested US$80 million, accounting for only 4% of Facebook's equity. Now Facebook's valuation has increased 7.5 times, and his net worth has also increased by US$600 million.

Several of the bosses currently supporting Lucian are billionaires.

So I don’t pay much attention to Wang Heng’s net worth of 600 million. Of course I want to win the final election, so the more friends I have, the better...

……………………

Wang Heng was not surprised when he received the invitation letter from Lu Xian handed to him by Lin Wenying, and then took Lin Wenying to the meeting.

A party was being held in a secret manor. Lin Wenying took Wang Heng's hand and handed over the invitation letter at the door, and then entered the venue.

Since Lucian didn't pay much attention to Wang Heng, he naturally wouldn't go out of his way to entertain him. People at the venue were talking to each other in twos and threes. When they saw Lin Wenying and Wang Heng coming in,

I just looked at it curiously, and then didn’t care too much.

The youngest people present were both in their 50s. Wang Heng and Lin Wenying were both young and foreigners, which should have surprised many people.

But it didn't happen. Maybe it was because he was older and his curiosity was gone, so he ignored them. Wang Heng couldn't understand foreign languages ​​and could only ask Lin Wenying,

"What are they talking about? Why doesn't Lucian receive me? What should we do now?"

Lin Wenying kept the smile on her face and said, "Let's just find a corner to stay. There will be donations later. They are talking about the policies of the beautiful country."

Wang Heng thought that the US$50 million donation he prepared was not worthy of recognition, so he did not care too much about the cold reception.

Lin Wenying and I found a place to stay for a while, but at this time there were several people talking.

After meeting Wang Heng and Lin Wenying, he naturally regarded them as waiters and said to Wang Heng and Lin Wenying,

"Pour me a cup of coffee, thank you!"

"Give me a glass of orange juice!"

Lin Wenying smiled and refused, "Sorry, we are not waiters."

"Not a waiter? Then what are you doing here? Young people, this is not the place for you."

"We were invited by Lucian to fund his campaign."

Just as Lin Wenying finished explaining her purpose of coming, the other three people started laughing.

"Hahahaha... kid, how much money are you prepared to support our lovely Mr. Lucian?"

Before Lin Wenying had time to answer, Wang Heng was a little annoyed.

"Wenwen, what are they laughing at? Do you think I'm funny? Is Lucian doing something to look down on 50 million in labor?"

“They laugh at how much money you are going to donate?”

"You ask them how much they are prepared to donate? I don't believe that my 50 million is so worthless."

After hearing Wang Heng's words, Lin Wenying turned to the two old men who were laughing and said,

"We have not donated much, only 50 million. I wonder how much you will donate?"

The campaign funds will be marked one by one. After all, it is the election bucket, and the source of the funds is unknown. Naturally, it cannot be used. The two people are planning to donate 500,000, which is relatively high in the current ranking of capital sponsors for Lucian.

At present, James, who supports Lucian the most, has only donated 4.1 million yuan. Now he heard Lin Wenying say that he would donate 50 million yuan.

They were stunned for a moment, then when they came to their senses, they asked loudly,

"Children, you want to donate 50 million? Not 5,000 yuan? Do you know how much 50 million is?"

His loud voice also attracted attention from all directions. After listening to his words, discussions immediately started on the scene.

"Hey! If anyone knows me, can you tell me who they are? Who is the son of that family? Those two families seem to be the only ones in Asia?"

"No, I've seen the descendants of those two families. They don't look anything like them?"

"It's not the young master over there, is it?"

"Is it possible that these two young men are bragging to attract attention?"



Something like this happened at the venue, which naturally attracted Lucian's attention. He was chatting with two big guys.

After hearing the commotion at the venue, I followed everyone's gaze and saw Wang Heng and Lin Wenying in the crowd.

Then after hearing everyone talking about Wang Heng's preparation to support him with 50 million, Lucian naturally didn't believe it.

You must know that the two rich people in front of him only agreed to support him with 1.5 million US dollars.

When Wang Heng said he supported him on Facebook, he thought it was US$50,000, so he spoke so uprightly and selflessly...
