Chapter 169 Election Combination Boxing

Although the parties involved know that Harvey is an artificial political star, citizens who pay attention to politics do not know this. Their information comes from the indoctrination of the media. As the largest local newspaper, the Los Angeles Times plays an extremely important role.

The function is almost a follow-up report.

Continuously spreading Harvey's thoughts and adding some political jokes to it have the effect of viral marketing. Marketing is a thing that Sheffield dare not use on himself because he is afraid of being slapped in the face later. But he can use it on others.

It's still okay. Even if Harvey finally suffers from backlash, it will be a few years later. He can definitely find an agent and follow the same pattern.

Every day, the Los Angeles Times determines what kind of content citizens like through newspaper sales and reprints. After a period of judgment, it is found that many people are very interested in the construction of movie theaters. Tidbits of news always make ordinary people happy.

Immerse yourself in it.

This reminds Sheffield of a very famous family in the United States in later generations, the Kardashian family. Thinking about it carefully, this family does not seem to have any outstanding works. The most outstanding work is the male head of this family, who helped Simpson win the famous

Simpson's murder of his wife, but is this also a positive image?

However, now that we have grasped a certain context and know that the citizens of Los Angeles are very interested in the cultural industry, in an instant, true and false news are flooded in various newspaper reports. The reason why it is true and false is that the real side is

The film patent was really in the hands of the Sheffield Film Company.

It must be a false report. Councilor Harvey met with the film patent holder, Mr. William Sheffield, because of this matter. After a long and arduous confrontation, he successfully persuaded the boss not to make profits from the patent.

, movies are a wealth that belongs to the entire society, allowing citizens to entertain and serve the public.

In the end, the arrogant boss, persuaded by Congressman Harvey, who had a sense of justice, gave up the unreasonable practice of charging royalties for the film, and was ready to wait for filmmakers from all over the United States to discuss the matter.

The report on this incident brought together elements of confrontation between rich men and politicians. Once it was reported by the Los Angeles Times, which is not afraid of power, it quickly became the talk of the streets.

During the subsequent excrement work session, someone pointed out that Harvey and Sheffield had a very pleasant chat when they first met. They also expressed their welcome to this young wealthy businessman to come to California for development. I hope that the boss of this company

It can bring more friends to join in the development of California.

However, in the cultural industry, Congressman Harvey insisted on his own opinion and did not give in to the wealthy company bosses. At this time, the image of an emerging politician with a sense of justice and persistence in principles has emerged on the paper.

"William, I really don't understand, why would you allow this man to use your reputation as a foil?" McHale shook his head and said, "Who is he? He's just a city councilman. If this is the case for Austin's friends

If they find out, they might laugh at you."

"There is no way. Who makes ordinary people hate the rich in their hearts? If there is no hatred of the rich, this election should be me representing the Democratic Party, DuPont, Morgan or Rockefeller representing the Republican Party. Those so-called citizens with rusty brains can

I have been happy for a long time because of a fake news, but it doesn't matter, it is fake anyway. The hero in their eyes, all the electoral steps, including illegal immigration, cultural centers, and mechanized farms, are actually provided by me. Naturally, these businesses are also mine.

, even after scolding me, you still want to make money for me."

Just a few words about Sheffield and a lot of meat. These citizens are so naive. This situation is similar to the major financial groups in South Korea. What can you do if you are dissatisfied? Why don't you just let me exploit you?

If Harvey's foundation was not too shallow, Sheffield would have wanted him to directly represent the Democratic Party in this presidential election. Unfortunately, even in the birthplace of democracy, personal connections are extremely important. If someone in the DPRK is good at becoming an official, no matter where he goes,

They are all truth. Although in later generations there were real estate businessmen who broke through the establishment siege and defeated the old witch. But no one can deny that the real estate businessman himself is a rich man. That is not a counterattack story at all.

"That's good for you. We can only buy some land and earn some hard-earned money. But why is there no lottery in the United States now?" Gale asked with questions in his head, "Has it always been there?"

"Want to make quick money? If this thing were legal, would it be your turn? I would have done it a long time ago!" Sheffield sighed, "It seems that it was banned by legislation four or five years ago. Now all

State lotteries are illegal."

The American lottery industry began in the colonial period until the Revolutionary War. The lottery industry has been developing steadily and experienced a golden age for more than half a century. Before the Civil War, lottery revenue was used to build canals, bridges, prisons, hospitals, and orphanages.

, libraries, churches and school buildings.

The last state to rule the lottery illegal due to pressure was Louisiana, and the last state to rule the lottery illegal was New Orleans, but that was five years ago.

"Then your family must have made a lot of money, right?" McHale took a breath. All states have closed down the lottery industry, but Louisiana has persisted for so long? Isn't this a monopoly?

"Don't talk nonsense. I don't know who was running the lottery industry at that time." Sheffield's heart moved. Thinking about it, this matter was indeed very suspicious. He always wondered why his family never started banking, but only and

The close relationship between the state banks is not enough to explain the problem.

If you have been running the lottery industry and persisted under pressure until five years ago, it makes perfect sense. It turns out that the cash of United Company does not come out through the bank.

"Do you really know nothing?" Seeing Sheffield's stunned look, Gale and McHale looked at each other, unable to believe that the only male heir in the family seemed to know nothing about it.

"I don't know!" Sheffield looked silly and sweet. "How old am I? I have never been out of Texas before last year. How can I know these things?"

The conversation between several people was just an interlude. After an investigation, both McHale and Gale thought it was a pity. Now that the lottery in the United States is illegal, if the last lottery industry can be preserved, the cash flow it will bring is incalculable.

The two of them even speculated that if the Sheffield family was really behind Louisiana's lottery industry and had a monopoly for decades, how much cash would it have amassed? It's an astronomical figure if you think about it.

Even Sheffield himself almost couldn't help but want to send a telegram to ask Lafayette how many secrets his family had. It seemed that he kept asking for money and his family could always provide it. Where did the money come from?

A few days later, as one hundred crawler tractors were shipped to California by rail and appeared on new farms in Southern California, news about mechanized large-scale farms had spread like wildfire.

Some voters have discovered that the mechanized large-scale farms that Harvey has been advocating do not seem too far away from them. The news that a railway branch line will be built to Southern California has once again aroused the hearts of the citizenry.

Economically, the railway will greatly reduce the cost of material transportation, make people's communication more convenient, and promote economic development. Militaryly, the pressure on national defense will be greatly reduced. Huge troops can be deployed to the place where a war breaks out in one day, and in three days

Within that time, the army of the United States can reach the border. The premise is that the branch lines in various places are also connected, otherwise there will definitely be problems with logistics and supply.

It seems that mentioning the role of the military is not important, but you have to know what the public opinion environment in California is like recently. Discussions about illegal immigration across the southern border have been ongoing, which has successfully made California citizens feel uneasy.

In addition, the California Workers' Party, which has been reduced to a white glove like the Ku Klux Klan, is adding fuel to the fire in dealing with illegal immigrants. It is a workers' organization that started out as xenophobic. This time it just changed its gun and focused on

He hit the Mexicans right in front of him and started making trouble again.

A demonstration of more than 3,000 people broke out in front of the State Court. The demonstrators shouted that the Mexicans would take back the land without bloodshed. The entire California government could not turn a blind eye to this obvious threat. People waved the Stars and Stripes and marched in front of the government

In front of the door, he expressed his worries about the fate of the country. If the state government does not give an explanation, it must be a systemic problem.

Harvey, who was well prepared, was the first to appear in front of the protest crowd as a city councilor. During this protest, Harvey did not turn a blind eye to the citizens' protests and shouted loudly, "I know that the citizens

I also acknowledge everyone’s concerns. Please believe me, I stand with everyone. The sacred land of the United States cannot be divided even one cent. I will make a proposal soon and will definitely give everyone an explanation.”

"Can you guarantee what you say? Don't be like other politicians who only talk but don't do anything." Among the protesters, accusations were spread head on.

Faced with this accusation, Harvey calmly waited for the atmosphere to subside and suddenly shouted, "If I don't make a proposal within a week, I will resign myself, and everyone can prove what I said today."

"Okay!" Thousands of protesting citizens burst into loud cheers and applauded to make way for Harvey.

This scene was clearly captured by peripheral cameras, and the next day's Los Angeles Times headline read, "Tough Politician!" The report praised Harvey's decisive stance.
