Votes are the life of electors. No elector will not pay attention to votes. The same is true for Omar. When he heard that Anitas could actually get at least two thousand votes, he immediately decided to start from here.

Omar is very excited. After all, he plays a small campaign game of one or two hundred people in Chicago. If he can get at least two thousand votes as Zhu Kongming said, it would be ten times more successful than Chicago. How could Omar not be excited?

However, despite his joy, Omar did not immediately go to the Anitas community to promote it. Because although this was just a small city council election, neither Omar nor Zhu Kongming wanted to fail. In addition, this time his opponent was a senior campaign family in San Francisco, which made them unable to keep up with a 120-year spirit.

Omar and Zhu Kongming first tried to make some flyers, designed self-introduction and sales words, and even some small gifts produced in batches. They were ready before they went to the Anitas community.

Later, the facts also proved that Omar and Zhu Kongming's careful treatment was worth it. They thought about many emergencies and prepared their back-up efforts, which made their publicity activities in the Anitas community very smoothly. More than a thousand people decided on the spot to vote for Omar.

Of course this is just the beginning, and their publicity has not yet been deepened. According to Zhu Kongming's estimate, if they can go further into the Anitas community, if they are given enough time, they can get more than 3,000 votes.

Zhou Ming did not go to the grassroots with Omar and Zhu Kongming. In fact, Zhou Ming originally planned to do this, but before Zhou Ming set off, he suddenly received a call.

"Is it Mr. Zhou Ming? I am Parsons. I think you should have heard of my name. Then we won't talk nonsense. Mr. Omar, who is running for the city council, is your person? I have no other meaning here. I think running for the city council is a very important thing. Mr. Zhou Ming, you may not be ready, so I really recommend that you withdraw from the election immediately."

Zhou Ming laughed. Although Zhou Ming guessed the purpose of the other party's call from hearing the other party's self-introduction, Zhou Ming still laughed out loud when he heard the other party say something that suggested that he quit the election.

"Mr. Parsons is worthy of being an old politician in San Francisco. His kung fu is still a disadvantage."

Zhou Ming retorted without any politeness: "Mr. Parsons, please think about it. If I told Mr. Parsons the other way, would your son quit the election?"

In fact, under normal circumstances, Zhou Ming is easy to talk to, but Parsons is so arrogant. He looks like a reminder of how kind and compassionate it is to withdraw from the election.

I'm sorry, I can only ask you to go as far as you can.

After Zhou Ming responded, Parsons was not angry, but reminded: "Mr. Zhou Ming knows that he is running for the election now, so Mr. Zhou Ming, you know why there will be this by-election in the middle of the process, why did the previous congressmen resign?"

This result is not difficult to guess. Zhou Ming quickly gave the answer: "Is this all arranged by Mr. Parsons, right?"

Old Parsons didn't hide it either. He told Zhou Ming that this is the case. Since his son was ready for the election this year, he immediately arranged for a city councillor to resign and then his son's by-election was on the top.

Why do you do this?

Isn't it okay to just wait for the official election next year?

The reason is very simple, that is, Old Parsons does not want to take any risks, the official election is paid much attention, and there are many forces participating in the parties. Faced with the well-prepared forces, Little Parsons, who participated in the election for the first time, was not fully confident.

Therefore, by-election is much simpler. Due to the emergencies, all forces may not necessarily participate without preparation. It is also because of this that Zhou Ming and Omar only saw Parsons, a campaign giant who appeared on the front page in the San Francisco Times. I am afraid this is also the tacit understanding reached behind these campaign forces.

In addition, the attention of by-election will not be as high as that of the official election, so that they can have more operational opportunities in the middle.

In short, it was Old Parsons who took great pains to make his son take over successfully, familiarize himself with the parliamentary environment as soon as possible, and accumulate political experience. He had tried all kinds of external tricks.

Originally, according to the script written by the Parsons family, they set a sudden time and prepared well. Judging from the election of a small city council, there should be no opponent. However, Omar's sudden appearance disrupted all this.

Zhou Ming could see Parsons in the newspaper, and Parsons could naturally see Omar in the newspaper, so Parsons called.

"I don't think you can cause any threat. I just want to remind Mr. Zhou Ming not to cause unnecessary fights." Parsons said, "If Mr. Zhou Ming is willing to accept it, I am also willing to form an alliance with Mr. Zhou Ming and provide you with some help in the official election next year."

"If Mr. Parsons really thought we were not a threat, he would probably not have called this phone call." Zhou Ming was not polite.

Old Parsons sighed, and then narrated Zhou Minglai little by little: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I know you are a young and famous person like Boya. You organized an Internet investment fund, you shorted Minnesota wheat to negative prices, and you even wrote a list of prohibited exits by the White House."

Old Parsons suddenly changed the subject: "I admit that you are very good, especially in finance, but it is just in finance. But this is an election, which is completely different from what you have known in the past. Here you are just a rookie."

"But you still made this call, didn't you?" Zhou Ming repeated his words.

Old Parsons was obviously a little impatient: "Maybe you haven't understood what I mean yet. I do not want any variables, but you are not variables. On the contrary, I am still giving you a chance. I think we have a foundation for cooperation. After all, the Parsons family has very rich political resources in San Francisco, and Zhou Ming, you have money. This is a very perfect match."

"It should have been a very wonderful thing, but if you insist on doing it, the result will probably be ugly." Old Parsons said.

"But you still made this call, didn't you?" Zhou Ming picked up the essence of humanity and happily took on the repeater.

Old Parsons finally couldn't help it: "Have you heard what I'm saying? This phone number doesn't matter. Please forget this damn phone number. You just need to remember to let your people out of this damn campaign, so that it will be decent for everyone!"

This time, Zhou Ming finally did not continue to repeat the reading machine, but said well-behavedly: "Okay, sir, I have forgotten the phone number just now, so we now

Let’s start over, sir, who are you, who are you looking for, is there anything you call me?"

With Zhou Ming's three consecutive questions, the old Parsons on the other end of the phone fell into deep silence. Even through the phone, Zhou Ming could feel the depression of the atmosphere.

This is true. If Zhou Ming was in the video at this time, he could see the blue veins jumping on Old Parsons' forehead, and he only felt that he was fooled.

"Fake!"

Old Parsons finally ended the call with a world-famous swear word, and Old Parsons also quit the phone.

Although Zhou Ming successfully teased Old Parsons with cleverness, Zhou Ming still had a serious expression when he put down the phone.

Because Zhou Ming knew very well that as Old Parsons said, he called this not because he was afraid of giving in. But in order to make his son who had no experience be elected successfully, he needed to remove any threatening factors, even if it was only 1%.

In addition, as a campaign family, the Parsons family also needs to win over the rich and raise funds for each of their campaigns.

A businessman who rises like himself is very short of sufficient background, especially their ideal partner to win over.

So when Old Parsons called this, he could indeed hear such an idea. It was just that his usual arrogant attitude, which was a tough sentence "I suggest you withdraw from the election", also called Zhou Ming and Omar "an election rookies."

If this attitude is a little bloody in his bones, he has to stay wherever he is cool. Zhou Mingke always thinks that his legs and feet are not smooth and he can't kneel down.

Zhou Ming did not regret that he angrily criticized Old Parsons on the phone. If he did it again, he would probably only be more ruthless. However, he had to be more cautious about this election. Zhou Ming was not afraid of losing, he was only worried that he was meaningless.

During lunch, Zhou Ming told Omar and Zhu Kongming about the call from Old Parsons.

Zhu Kongming was angry when he heard this. He cursed: "Parsons is really the shameless, the most obscene thing I have ever seen. They can only use this despicable trick. In their eyes, there is no fairness or justice, only conspiracy!"

There is no doubt that the call from Old Parsons reminded him of his past.

Then Zhu Kongming asked Zhou Ming very nervously what conditions did he not agree to him.

Zhou Ming looked at Zhu Kongming seriously and said to him solemnly: "Mr. Kongming, we haven't known each other for a long time, so you can understand that I doubt it, but I hope this is the first and last time!"

Zhou Ming continued: "I will not be threatened by anyone. Even the US President, let alone a small San Francisco campaign family. I am here to remind you that because of my phone call, our opponents may have to use their most despicable and shameless tricks to deal with us. I have to apologize to you."

Omar and Zhu Kongming both respected Zhou Ming. They looked at each other and then smiled and told Zhou Ming: They have been ready for a long time and let those guys come over.
