Chapter 1501: Can he be elected president?
Things in San Francisco are easy to solve. Whether it is setting up a research fund or signing a long-term business contract with Omar, everything that can be solved with money is not a problem, only Omar's wife...
So Zhou Ming called Langke from Chicago in front of Omar.
Zhou Ming did this very casually. After all, he had nothing to do with Chicago. Only the Langke family who established a relationship last time when shorting Minnesota wheat. In Zhou Ming's opinion, since Langke is a local local giant in Chicago, it would be easy to protect Omar and stay at the University of Chicago.
But this matter was completely different in Omar's eyes. He had been in Chicago for eight years, and the name of the Langke family was well-known. Although he was prepared in his heart and knew that Zhou Ming could short Minnesota wheat through the Chicago Exchange, he would definitely have contacted the Langke family. However, when he heard that Zhou Ming called the Langke family directly, Omar was still shocked.
Of course, Zhou Ming did this on purpose in front of Omar, either to be stupid or to encourage his confidence.
As Zhou Ming thought, the Langke family does have a deep influence on the University of Chicago. Not only are the heads of the University of Chicago, but even the land of the University of Chicago are donated by the Langke family. As long as the Langke family is recommended by the Langke family, even if you are a pig, you can get a doctorate degree from the University of Chicago. Therefore, it is very simple to guarantee a professor to stay on duty, but sometimes things are not that simple.
Originally, Zhou Ming called and said that he would apply for a friend to be suspended from work at the University of Chicago. Lang Ke agreed very readily, saying that he would not need to be suspended from work, and that he would not have to stay with paid work.
However, when Zhou Ming then said the name of his friend, something went wrong with Lang Ke.
Zhou Ming could hear Lang Ke talking to himself on the phone, "It seems like he has heard this name somewhere." Then he shouted that his housekeeper would take all the letters for today. It took him a long time to ask Omar's full name.
Not to mention, Zhou Ming really doesn't know Omar's full name, and he doesn't even know whether Omar's surname or name. He only knows that the whole world calls it that. It was not until Omar nodded that Zhou Ming replied to Lang Ke.
After confirming, Lang Ke directly accused Zhou Ming of being immoral: "We have started to poach people from my Chicago!"
Zhou Ming was a little confused about this, so Lang Ke told Zhou Ming that one of his senators recommended this person to him yesterday, saying that he could guarantee him to run for the state senator, but he did not expect that Zhou Ming would go over to intercept the senator at this time.
Zhou Ming's phone call did not avoid Omar, so when Omar heard Lang Ke say this, he immediately stood up and scolded him for lying: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I can swear that I did not receive any attention in Chicago, and absolutely no one contacted me to run for any state parliament. He was lying!"
Zhou Ming waved his hand to signal Omar to stay calm. At the same time, he smiled and said sorry to Langke on the phone. He and Omar were alumni from Harvard in the past. When they met, they all had a common ideal. He also wanted to work in San Francisco. He really didn't know that he had a car with him: "He said he was just an ordinary district senator. I don't know that you actually value him so much, so Langke, do you want him to stay in Chicago?"
Lang Ke’s answer was not right. The main reason is that many of the previous steps have been put into use. Letting go at this time means that all the previous investment is wasted, and it is a loss.
After hearing what he said, Zhou Ming immediately understood: he had to add more money.
So Zhou Ming said that the remaining futures wheat in Chicago could be dealt with for him, and he would be treated as a plea.
But Lang Ke said he would not do it, and still said that the Lang Ke family had laid the groundwork for Omar. Zhou Ming directly asked him what he wanted. Then Lang Ke showed his tail and mentioned the chamber of commerce established by Zhou Ming.
"The Chamber of Commerce is free, and it allows any company to participate anytime, anywhere." Zhou Ming expressed his attitude in a very formulaic manner.
But this formulaic attitude could not satisfy Lang Ke? He immediately stated that he not only wanted to participate, but also to take control of the shares.
Zhou Ming first glanced at Omar and told him to be more realistic, after all, Omar was already in San Francisco.
However, even if Zhou Ming said this, Lang Ke still did not admit defeat and continued to bargain with Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming finally negotiated the matter through many bargaining with Lang Ke. Through a stake that had no voting rights, Lang Ke's family's full support for Omar's run in San Francisco.
Finally, the bargaining with Langke was over. Zhou Ming put down the phone and Omar immediately said: "Mr. Zhou Ming, you were deceived by him. I have told you just now that I have no contact with Langke's family at all. Why do you still have to be threatened by him?"
Zhou Ming told Omar: "That's not entirely a threat, because if he was really an ordinary person, he shouldn't know Omar's name and identity, and what he was doing."
Omar realized that this was true. Just now, he was just angry with Langke's despicable deception, but ignored the fact that Langke's family's status in Chicago, how could he know his own affairs? Moreover, his two consecutive district councillor elections have not encountered any messy things with the help of that senator. This is an undeniable fact.
"Maybe he didn't lie, but his words weren't entirely true." Omar said carefully.
Zhou Ming said that it was not important: "Because what I want to solve now is Omar's worries in Chicago. As for Lang Ke's performance, this was also as I expected."
Zhou Ming paused and said to Omar: "But Omar, you have to run hard, not only for me, but also for yourself. You have to tell Lang Ke that bastard with practical actions. This is the most failed deal he has made, otherwise I will definitely wear leather boots and kick your ass hard!"
Omar promised Zhou Ming very seriously and solemnly that he would do his best.
...
Lang Ke's movements were still very fast. Within a few minutes after Zhou Ming put down the phone, Omar received a call from the vice president of the University of Chicago.
From such a quick time, we can see some of the energy of the Langke family, which is obviously just a matter of phone calls.
On the phone, the vice president confirmed Omar's teaching achievements at the University of Chicago and said that Omar is a rare and precious talent at the University of Chicago. Therefore, if Omar has other more important jobs, the University of Chicago is willing to retain his position and salary. As long as Omar wants, the University of Chicago welcomes him back to continue teaching at any time.
However, this finally solved Omar's worries. According to American logic, there is no problem in doing so at least in terms of procedural terms.
Omar then called his wife Marian and asked her to sign a paid stay contract with the school instead of her.
Marian received this call and was completely wrong. If she hadn't known her husband for seven years, she would have thought that Omar was playing a very bad joke with her, or was simply crazy.
Omar told her: This is Mr. Zhou Ming’s sincerity, which can make him feel at ease to the greatest extent.
"I told you a long time ago that Mr. Zhou Ming is a very admirable great person, different from the Chinese you think of, so now I can finally start pursuing the dream I want to pursue, right?" Omar said.
"What are you going to run for, Senator? Mayor or Governor?" asked Marian.
Omar smiled: "Who knows, Mr. Zhou Ming hopes that I will run for president."
Marian said helplessly: "Okay, I wish you a good dream."
Obviously, at this time, whether it was Omar or his wife, they only regarded the saying of running for president as a joke. Only Zhou Ming knew that the president was the biggest thing he wanted to do.
Now Wellington lets him go, and Zhou Ming doesn't want to leave anymore, just wants to make the most of his troubles.
After calling his wife, Omar said that he could devote himself to the campaign.
Zhou Ming was not at ease with Chicago and thought that she should arrange a lawyer to accompany Marian to sign a contract, but Omar told Zhou Ming that Marian was a very good lawyer and that ordinary trap contracts could not deceive her.
...
Meanwhile, at the Joe Roland Manor in Chicago, Lang Ke and his staff were celebrating their victory.
That's right, it's victory. In Lang Ke's opinion, he took a small district councillor, or a district councillor who had already gone to San Francisco, but exchanged shares of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce and membership of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce. Isn't this just making a victory for my grandma's family?
Of course, some people have raised doubts, thinking that how could a person like Zhou Ming, who can short Minnesota wheat to a negative price, do such a loss-making business?
Of course Lang Ke has also studied this issue. He believes that since Zhou Ming publicly made some moves on behalf of the gods, he has always wanted to cause trouble in the United States and forced President Willington to let him go. However, in the past, he had made small fuss, but now he has finally realized that only campaigns can do big things.
In addition, Langke also studied Omar, and it is undeniable that there are indeed many party resources on his mother's side.
"But so what? He can at most run for a senator, mayor, governor, or even a federal senator. Does he still want to run for president?" Lang Ke said with a smile.
Lang Ke's words reminded others, making everyone feel that they are worrying about nothing.
Yes, even if Omar has some skills and has better connections, he will be a governor or a federal senator at most. As long as he can't become the president, he won't just make trouble.
As for his desire to run for president, please check your skin color first. Do you have the keys?
You are not worthy!
What do you match?
How many matches do you have!
Now Lang Ke obviously did not pay enough attention to it, nor did he realize what kind of rough jade he let go.
Chapter completed!
