Chapter 1764: Zhou Ming who told the truth
"Bad bastard, what are you doing? I will definitely report this to the President. You have caused a big deal..."
As soon as the mayor's policy assistant and his clerks left, Les roared at Zhou Ming, his gritting teeth as if he was chewing Zhou Ming's muscles and bones.
Rice now realized why Zhou Ming agreed to bring him so happily. It turned out that this was the idea.
Damn bastard!
These Chinese are indeed insidious and cunning!
Les thought so in his heart.
However, Zhou Ming looked innocent and indifferent: "What big deal did I mess with? I just introduced your identity to him truthfully. I think this is the minimum politeness."
Rice looked at Zhou Ming: "Do you think you are very smart? Do you think I can't see the trick you are playing?"
Rice told Zhou Ming that she knew very well what Zhou Ming was planning, and directly exposed that Zhou Ming wanted to use President Walsh as the name of Little President to suppress the local government in order to achieve his goal of buying land at a low price.
"But I tell you, your approach is very stupid, you don't understand the political model of the United States at all!"
"And I will never allow you to do such a thing, I will definitely expose you!"
Faced with Les' threat, Zhou Ming disagreed at all, and even gave her a thumbs up: "Ms. Les welcomes her to expose her. I have never said that I won't let you expose her! When the assistant or the mayor come back later, you will tell him directly, you are just ordered to follow me, and there is absolutely no other purpose!"
"you……"
Now she pushed Les to the wall. As someone who can become Secretary of State in the future, Les is very smart, so she certainly understands why Zhou Ming is so confident.
For a very simple reason, no one would believe that a dignified assistant to the National Security Affairs and a confidant of the Federal President would run around for no reason, especially following a Chinese for no reason. This is not normal no matter how you look at it.
At this time, unless you can prove that you are not Rice, no matter how you explain it, as long as your identity is true, all your remarks will be regarded as a defense to cover up the secret, so that the more you explain, the more you will be firmly suspicious.
For example, to be honest, you were assigned by the President to follow Zhou Ming, with the goal of ensuring that he will attend the upcoming financial summit in Atlanta?
Les himself couldn't believe it if he thought about it.
"But don't be too proud of it too early."
Rice snorted coldly, "I admit that your logic is very meticulous, but don't forget that our federal system is designed to avoid this. Although he is just a small mayor, the President still has no direct authority over him."
Zhou Ming nodded: "I understand that in theory, the mayor is only responsible for his own voters."
But then Zhou Ming also said: "But Ms. Les, you and I understand that this kind of thing is limited to theory, but you and I understand that in politics, theory is usually not reliable."
Rice had nothing to say, because that's the truth. If anyone follows the rules in politics, he will definitely achieve nothing in the future.
Moreover, the Federation does emphasize autonomy. From a legal perspective, even the federal president has no right to directly issue orders to any mayor.
This is also a very important part of the universal values spread throughout the world, emphasizing democracy and freedom.
But the truth is
However, this will not be the case. You should know that no one is isolated in this world. People are social creatures. In life, no matter what you want to do, your connections are what you need.
Then if the mayor is not satisfied with a small mayor and wants to continue running for the senator or even the governor, he needs to be friendly with the president and other politicians, at least he cannot offend others openly.
In addition, American political personnel usually have the tradition of taking the revolving doors of politics and business, which is to retreat from the position of mayor to join the company and let their sons and daughters join the company to make money. This also requires connections and cannot be easily offended.
Well, even if the mayor has no plans to go up, he is planning to finish his retirement, and he has no children and no worries. This is also useless.
It's very simple. The president only needs to launch a corruption investigation into the mayor and let the media follow up and report for a while. Even if you are a clean official like Hai Rui, you can still discredit Yan Song.
Or when distributing federal supplies, you will not allocate benefits to your city, and then your voters will be able to take you off the stage.
It is precisely for these reasons that any mayor with a better mind will definitely give the president a face.
Les said that just deceived the novice who didn't know anything.
At this point, Les was in a dilemma. Just defending him, there might not be a good result, but instead helped Zhou Ming. If he didn't defend himself, he couldn't swallow his breath. Even if he was as smart as Les, he couldn't think of any good idea. He could only pray that the mayor was an upright person who was not afraid of power.
It is impossible to say that Rice’s idea is quite good, but under the influence of the fundamental capital atmosphere of the United States, it is almost impossible to have an upright mayor.
Just over a dozen minutes later, a fat white man walked into the conference room and walked towards Rice enthusiastically.
"Dear Ms. Les, it must be God's guidance that has brought you to Madoc. This is my greatest honor!"
While complimenting Rice like a charlatan, he reached out to shake hands with Rice hard, completely ignoring Zhou Ming and McClan next to him.
The mayor's attitude made McClass angry because he thought he was the protagonist and that Rice was just a disgusting spy.
However, Zhou Ming was very happy because the more enthusiastic the mayor was to Les, the more he could not avoid things.
Then Rice frowned, slowly pulled out his hand, and said to the mayor: "Mr. Mayor, it was just an accident that I appeared in Madoc. Please follow the federal laws and regulations in everything. Don't make any changes because of me, and don't have any unnecessary thoughts. Do you understand?"
There is no doubt that Rice said this because she hoped that the mayor would not be disturbed by her identity, but Zhou Ming almost laughed out loud on the spot after hearing this.
Sister, the mayor may not have any ideas at first, but after hearing what you said, he should have ideas.
The mayor nodded repeatedly and patted his chest to show his understanding. Then he turned to Zhou Ming and stretched out his hand to say hello to Zhou Ming and McLen.
"Pisat is a legend. If you come to Madoc, you must have been blessed by the Lord. All of this is guided by fate..."
Another charlatan remark, and then the mayor told Zhou Ming: "I didn't know that Pisart's land purchase request was Sawyer's land. If I knew it, I would definitely sell it to you at the cheapest price!"
The mayor said this, but he was just open.
I was lying because how could I not submit an application for which piece of land I bought here?
Zhou Ming knew very well that the mayor was looking for a step. Zhou Ming’s current goal was to take this piece of land as soon as possible, so it didn’t matter, otherwise Zhou Ming would have to compete with him.
The following matter is simple. Under the influence of Rice, the mayor's contract with Pissart Company was signed very smoothly, and the contract conditions were all ideal for Zhou Ming.
But the only one who obviously lacks political IQ is that after the signing of the contract, he took the initiative to go to Les to seek credit.
"Ms. Les, do you think I'm doing this right? Actually, I always think that my ability should not be limited to Madoc. If I can, I also want to participate in state assembly elections, or even congressional elections."
Rice wanted to slap him to death, but fortunately there were no reporters here, otherwise it would seem like he was using his power for personal gain. This is the most taboo thing in American politics.
Zhou Ming was speechless, not to mention that Rice had no intention of this, even if you asked so bluntly, no one would admit it.
Therefore, Rice just emphasized to him that he would not interfere in the local area and would not interfere with anything in the local area.
The mayor's face drooped, thinking that Rice was going to be dependent on the debt.
These things have nothing to do with Zhou Ming in the future, because Zhou Ming signed the contract and left quickly. The mayor was very angry and thought he had been cheated. He did not dare to cause trouble for Les and Walsh Jr., but he dared to cause trouble for Zhou Ming's project.
But unfortunately, Zhou Ming and McLaren did not plan to dig wells and dig oil, but only traded it at one time. Zhou Ming and McLaren did not even plan to build an oil well or a factory building for him. They only planned to use this land to continue bragging about the shale oil content and then package and issue corporate bonds to cash out.
In this case, this mayor, who knows when God will step down, will only cause trouble if he can find trouble.
After the city government trip, Zhou Ming, McClellan and Rice returned to the hotel together. Just at the door of the hotel, Rice got angry and criticized Zhou Ming for being shameless and actually used her identity as a President.
"This is a fraud, you're a fraud, you know?" Les said.
"I will explain it again last time. I just told the truth. Has the truth become a fraud in the President's bill?" Zhou Ming also said, "If I really want to use it, I'm just using waste."
Rice widened her eyes and looked at Zhou Ming in shock and angrily.
However, Zhou Ming ignored her and just went back to the room with McLaren to discuss the next place to go.
In the room, McClane looked at Les first. Obviously he didn't think he should discuss this issue in front of Les, but Zhou Ming didn't care and told him that it would be fine if Les did not exist.
Since Zhou Ming said so, McClane also unloaded his burden. He opened the map of New Mexico, looked carefully, and then pointed his fingers at the city of Paniola not far away.
Zhou Ming nodded without hesitation: "Okay, then let's go to Paniola!"
Then Zhou Ming asked McClan to put away the map and stood up to look at Les: "Then Ms. Les, do you still want to accompany him?"
Les really wants to spit out fragrance now. She doesn't understand what Zhou Ming is thinking about, and she clearly wants to repeat the incident here for Madok.
