Reborn Wealth America

Orange County, Los Angeles.

conference hall.

As Winnie's deputy, she was once a county councillor of Orange County.Gusset was certainly not an idiot, and if he were an idiot, he would not be sent by the Adams family to assist Winnie.

After Winnie stated her position and said Abel's name.The old politician immediately understood Abel's identity.

Faced with a son-in-law of the Adams family, he is still a terrible billionaire.He changed his previous rudeness and indifference.

Secretly decided in my heart, ready to be a supporter.But at this moment, facing Abel's proposal, among Winnie's campaign themes, a theme of improving fire protection in Orange County is proposed.

He couldn't help but hesitate: "Fire... is indeed a very good topic, but funding is likely to become a problem."

Speaking of this, I have to talk about American fire protection.

American fire...

how to say?

In Huaxia's words, it should be regarded as a temporary contracting system.The fire brigade here, except for the very few official fire brigades established by governments at all levels.

Most of the rest are firefighting companies that have signed contracts with civilians and the government, privately contracted, and privately established.

The firefighting staff here are extremely well-paid, and their average annual salary can be as high as $40,000 or more just after joining the company.The salary of a firefighter who has served for three years normally will not be lower than the annual salary of 80,000 US dollars, and the higher the salary the longer.The highest even has an exaggerated salary of 200,000 US dollars.

This has also led to the fact that almost all firefighters here are lifelong.After all, the salary is so high, no one is willing to give up the job, unless they can't do it, no one is willing to leave.

The salaries of firefighters are so high, and many of the fire brigades or fire companies are private.The firefighting company wants to make money, and the salaries of firefighters are high. Where does the money come from?

The wool always comes out of the sheep.

Firefighting companies want to make money, and the salaries of firefighters are high, so the money is naturally provided by those who call the fire alarm.

Simply put, if you exclude the scarce firefighting force of the government, if the fire brigade is required to dispatch the rest, please pay for it............

In general, there will be fire insurance in the insurance, as long as the insurance is paid.In the event of a fire, after the fire brigade came to rescue the disaster, the remuneration of the fire brigade was naturally paid by the insurance company.

But if you don’t have insurance and don’t have money for the fire brigade...

Unless a nearby government-organized fire brigade has time, come and rescue you.

otherwise……

Ha ha.

Please take a close look at your houses for the last time, admire their beautiful appearance in the flames, because you will not see them behind.

I have said so much to explain one thing, that is, doing a good job of fire fighting here is very expensive.The cost of building a fire brigade or a fire company is no less than building an elite ground light weapons unit.

Except for the governments of some regions with rich fiscal revenue, few local governments have their own fire brigades.

For example, the slums where Lao Mo and Lao Hei live. If a fire breaks out in such a place, you will either have to wait until the state government’s few firefighting forces arrive to help the disaster, or you will spend your own money to hire those private firefighting companies, or...

Please look at your house and disappear in the beauty of the flames!

Gusit is now raising this question. Playing the theme of firefighting is very expensive!!

It hasn't been elected yet, it doesn't matter if you brag, but if you are elected.As a result, as a county councillor, but failed to fulfill the original promise, under the blow of competitors, they can often only serve one term, or even step down early.

Leeks are not that easy to deceive.

After Gusit raised the question like this.

Others also raised questions.

"Improving fire protection in Orange County? This is indeed a very good issue. But no one dared to raise it, because even a government with a wealth of finances like Orange County would have a very large budget if it was invested in fire protection. Big problem."

"Yes... even if we don't honor it after being elected, at least we have to show it in this respect now. But it is very expensive to have the cooperation of those firefighting companies."

"Although fire fighting is good, it is too difficult."

"Yes……"

"I actually thought about it, but it's too difficult to bring it up."

"..."

Everyone's doubts and questions are also Winnie's questions.There is no doubt that in the Los Angeles area, if anyone really raises the issue of firefighting forces to prevent wildfires, the people of California who have suffered from wildfires will definitely vote for that person.

The premise is that this guy really fulfilled his promise!

On the contrary, if the words are nothing.

It is difficult to continue to mess around in politics.

Winnie whispered: "Do you have any specific ideas? Honey."

Abel thought for a while and asked, "How much is the current political contribution in the team estimated?"

Political contributions.

As the name suggests, it is money dedicated to politics.Refers to individuals or groups engaged in electioneering activities or other political-related activities that have accepted movable, real property, non-equivalent consideration payments, debt relief or other economic benefits provided free of charge by outsiders.

On Huaxia's side, this is something that you don't have to think about.Because there is no real election at all except for the village chief.

But in Europe and America.

Especially in the United States, which is superbly playing money and politics, the tricks and patterns of political donation are the most.

From the highest-ranking presidential elections to the lowest-ranking elections of some district councilors, we cannot say 100% over the years, but the party with the higher basic political contributions will always have a winning rate of more than 80%.

Faced with Abel’s questions about political contributions.

Winnie hasn't answered yet.

Next to her campaign assistant, Gusit immediately replied in a soft, knowing way: "So far, we have raised about 1.45 million US dollars."

Abel nodded.

The 1.45 million US dollars is a bit small.

He asked Gusit again: "Who is Winnie's opponent? About how much political donations they have raised? Can you find these?"

Gusset's expression showed some appeals, and he smiled and replied: "This time there are many people competing for the position of the county councillor! Not to mention the two guys like the party and the donkey party, other parties have also participated! There are three nonpartisans like Ms. Winnie!"

"Among them, the elephant party is about 2 million U.S. dollars, and the donkey party’s side is almost the same. The remaining political parties and non-partisans, the highest one, his political contributions have reached 3.21 million U.S. dollars. He is a The local entrepreneur in Orange County...the least and worst one, with only 860,000, is a black lawyer who got up from the slum."

In terms of intelligence on these campaigns, Gusset really fits his role as an assistant to the campaign team and has done a good job.

As for why a county councilor in Orange County has so many people fighting, it is of course because the rewards are too generous.

The legendary experience of the mayor of New York has been cited as idols by many rich and middle-class men.After Bloomberg and today's Mr. President, more and more wealthy people have entered the political game.

And the United States is actually more than two parties like the party and the donkey party... Just like China, there is not only one party, but also other decorative democratic parties.

The same goes for the United States.

The difference is that there are many miscellaneous fish parties here.

Presidential elections, mid-term elections, and governor elections are high-level elections. These trash parties cannot join in.But in some small local elections, sometimes these small parties and those without party affiliation often win.

This is also the election freedom that the old Americans like to advertise...

For this situation.

Abel replied.

If elections are truly free, it would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to elect a president for Mao.And this number is getting bigger and bigger, from tens of millions to one or two hundred million dollars in the past, to more than 300 million dollars in the Aoguanhai era.In the age of unreliability, the combined political contributions of the two presidential candidates exceeded $1 billion!

It is estimated that in another one or two terms, it is very likely that the election political contributions of a single presidential candidate will exceed 1 billion US dollars!

In front of money.

Talk about equality.

After thinking about it for a while, Abel looked at the crowd and said softly, "To win any election!! Only two things are needed, the first is money; the second is what I don’t even know!!"

This sentence was not created by him.But at the end of the 19th century, the financial magnate Mark Hannah, who used a large amount of political donations to help McKinley win the 1896 presidential election, said.

Among those present, apart from Gusit, who is an old politician, anyone who can join Winnie's team will not be politically in vain.

Of course they all know where this sentence comes from.

And now such a well-known wealthy oligarch, who is still the boyfriend of his employer Winnie, said this.

What does this mean, of course no more nonsense!

Everyone's eyes lit up!

Thinking of the team secretly being pushed by an invisible terrorist giant like the Adams family; on the bright side, there is also a ten billionaire with all-out financial support for winning this election.

They are full of confidence!

In the face of money, in fact, all campaign themes are false.With enough money, even if it is an unrealistic campaign theme, you can get a satisfactory result by spending money!

Now the local tyrants are willing to play and want to play the fire theme!

Then play with the local tyrants!

Anyway, the local tyrants are rich!

After Abel said the words of the 19th century financial magnate Mark Hannah.

For Abel's campaign, the theme of fire protection is to prevent the annual wildfires in California.

With an unanimous vote of approval.

It was passed quickly at the meeting!
