Chapter 99: Cake Goals

"Then I'll say goodbye."

After Kaos and Bush hugged each other gently, they both took the bus to leave.

The chat with Bush is just some ideas about the future, and it clearly expresses his idea of ​​supporting the other party. It also reveals the way of cooperation in the future, which is not much related to money.

After the introduction of the Federal Election Act in 1972, the "good days" of rich people paying money and delivering the goods to buy democracy will never return. From then on, not only did the donors have to disclose their names and amounts, but the amount of donations was also clearly stipulated.

This makes it less easy for capitalists to control democratic elections. Even if they launch various relationships, the money donated is not proportional to the hundreds of millions of dollars of the current election campaign, so naturally there are much less power-for-money transactions between the two sides.

Of course, this does not mean that under such a system, elections will become transparent and fair. After all, no matter how good the system is, there will be loopholes.

Especially in a capital society, as long as you have money, there will always be cleverness.

In today's situation, although there will not be too much funding for political donations, big capitalists like Kaos, but without hardware, there is no soft power to use, such as the New York Times Group.

Such a large media group is a quarrel in the annual election. Think about the variety shows in later generations, and after a little editing, various conflicts can arise, which will lower a star's character.

Although it is impossible to do so obviously in the election, it is still possible to push the enemy a little and help his candidates promote more. This has become a kind of capitalist soft power and the reason why Bush attached great importance to Kaos.

"Do you think he can be elected this year?"

Ivana was still in a daze in the car. After a while, she asked.

She originally thought that Kaos was just seeing his business partner and had some business actions, but she didn't expect that the other party wanted to bet on the election every four years.

"I don't know, how could I be sure of this kind of thing, it's just a speculative gambling."

Looking out the car window, Kaos heard Ivana's question, but he shook his head to deal with it without even turning his head. He didn't have much intention of talking about this topic at all.

Ivana attended such an occasion because the other party was suitable for such social interaction, and Kaos needed such a female companion.

Seeing that Kaos was not energetic, Ivana shut up very sensible and did not continue to ask more questions.

"Will Mr. Bush be elected?"

On the contrary, the next morning, Lin Yifei, who was waving a clumsyly with a golf club, also asked Kaos this question, but he had another face.

"Yes, I feel he will definitely succeed in the election this time."

Kaos, who was making tea in his hand, heard Lin Yifei's question, smiled and nodded without any concealment and admitted. At the same time, he signaled the other party to come over and take a break and drink some tea.

"That is, Uncle Jace will be working in the White House next year."

If Ivana was on this point, she would definitely ask questions in detail, wanting to know why Kaos was so sure. But when it comes to Lin Yifei, it was not the case, but was happy that Jace might enter the US cabinet next year.

As for why Kaos is so sure, Lin Yifei never asks and has no interest.

"This is not completely certain. Yesterday was just an intentional cooperation. In addition, I do have this plan, but I have to wait until the other party's election is successful before the final cake can be divided."

Since his father has embarked on the political journey, Kaos naturally has a plan to push the other party to the top. The previous state legislator election was just a terrible test, and he used it to accumulate some connections. The current election is the more important goal.

It is true that he can't tell Lin Yifei that he is sure of it, because Kaos knows very well that the position he chose for his father was not so easy to get it. After all, it is the second largest violent agency established after 9/11 in addition to the US military: the Department of Homeland Security.

The power of this department is extremely large. It is composed of 22 federal agencies including the Coast Guard, Immigration and Naturalization Bureau and the General Administration of Customs. It has more than 170,000 staff members and an annual budget of nearly US$40 billion.

It can be said that if you hold a previous position, you will have a huge connection for the Jones family in the next few decades. Whether it is the military or institutions such as FBI, you will be able to install and support your friends and partners.

But because of this, Kaos could even think about how fierce the competition will be after the establishment of this institution, so even Kaos was not sure to support his father Jace.

But we still have to try all this, that is, we can't get the position of the chief minister in the end, and we can't get the position of the deputy minister of the Ministry of Homeland Security. We can always get some benefits in it.

"Okay, then congratulate Uncle Jace in advance."

In fact, Lin Yifei was not very interested in these questions. She just chatted casually, then put down the teacup in her hand, sat next to Kaos, put his hands around Kaos's arm, and swung back and forth and said coquettishly: "Brother, I'm a little bad for this exam, please tell me and my mother."

Lin Yifei has never been a top student, but he can only say that he is willing to work hard. Even in the original history, he is just ordinary and unremarkable in the school.

Now that Kaos has changed a lot, his personality has become more cheerful and he has become more playful, which has caused him to skip classes every few days this year. Under such circumstances, his original ordinary grades naturally fell a lot.

"Haha, I said, why did you come to the company to see me in a strange way? Tell me, what's the score I got?"

Kaos looked at Lin Yifei's pitiful look and was a little amused. He rubbed her head and said.

"whee.."

Seeing Kaos agreeing, Lin Yifei immediately laughed, took out a wrinkled transcript from her bag and handed it to Kaos.

"Uh... from this I can experience your mood when you receive the transcript."

He picked up the wrinkled transcript with some disgust. The corners of Kaos's mouth twitched slightly, and he frowned and straightened it up. Just a glance, Kaos was even more helpless and said, "This is not that he did not do well in the exam at all. Almost all of them are C. No wonder you dare not let Aunt Lin see it."

"Who can get all B scores like you, if you don't go to school exams every day."

Lin Yifei pouted her mouth and said unwillingly, "If you want to skip classes, she is far inferior to Kaos, but with her ability to remember everything, she only deducted points from her usual performance, but she still got all the Bs."

"If you know, be careful not to escape so many classes. Go to your house to have dinner with Aunt Lin in the evening."

Some of the doting hand reached out and hit Lin Yifei's forehead with the report card. Kaos sighed and decided on where to go to the evening.

"Hey, thank you brother. Paris and I made an appointment to watch her activities in the afternoon, so we left first."

After getting the results done, Lin Yifei smiled and cheered, then took her handbag and jumped out of the office, not wanting to stay in the company for a while.

"This stinky girl has no intention of repentance at all."

Looking at Lin Yifei leaving, Kaos smiled and blamed him, and walked to his desk and continued to work hard.
