"Sir, if you have anything to say, please say it. I don't have much time." Looking at the Chinese in front of me, Lin Zheng felt a little impatient.

Just now, I was stopped by this Chinese man who called himself Smith who came out of nowhere. He strongly expressed that he must talk to me. If it weren't for being really not suitable for moving, Lin Zheng would have already slashed over with a big ear: Where did you come out?

The Chinese, who claimed to be Mr. Smith, was not a fool, so he could naturally feel Lin Zheng's impatientness, but he did not think there was anything wrong with Lin Zheng's attitude towards him: as a rich man, he is all like this, rich and willful.

"Mr. Lin, I am a Los Angeles City Councilman," Mr. Smith, with dark hair and dark eyes, knew how to maximize his advantage, and introduced his identity without hesitation: "As you can see, I am also a Chinese. I think we may have a common language in many things."

"Los Angeles City Councilman?" Lin Zheng looked at the guy in front of him in surprise. He really didn't realize that this guy was a city councillor. On the contrary, this guy's temperament looked very similar... "I think you look like a lawyer."

Even so, Lin Zheng didn't take Mr. Smith seriously. The MPs are indeed awesome, but this is limited to state MPs and MPs. If they are city MPs? Cough cough... In Lin Zheng's opinion, it is not as good as the police chief in a small city.

"In fact, you are right. I am indeed a lawyer. I have a small law firm in Los Angeles," Mr. Smith looked at Boss Lin with a sincere face: "Mr. Lin. I am very sincere. As long as you want to participate in the auction news, I spent a lot of money and asked many friends to help me to get a chance to meet you."

After pondering for a while, Lin Zheng finally nodded: "I don't have much time."

No matter what, it's not a bad thing to hear what this guy says.

Smith was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, suppressed his excitement and nodded repeatedly: "It doesn't take you long, it takes a few minutes."

………………………………………

"Tell me, what the hell is it?" After finding a secluded corner, Lin Zheng looked at the Smith Congressman, "If you came to me to raise campaign funds, no problem, I can give it to you now."

For American politicians, since the moment they came to power, they have been working hard to continue their political life almost at any time. Taking every right opportunity to raise campaign funds is the most important thing in their political career, and to some extent, this is their job. Lin Zheng has not encountered similar situations in the past. He gave some money and passed it. Lin Zheng did not think that the guy in front of him was different from those guys.

“I want your support.”

It's true!

Lin Zheng chuckled and nodded: "No problem, how much does it cost?"

After saying that, he took out the checkbook and prepared to sign the check: it was just a few hundred dollars, just to treat it as a beggar.

"No, you misunderstood, I mean. I hope to be the spokesperson for your business in the US government," Smith lowered his voice. He looked at Lin Zheng's eyes carefully: "Just like... the state legislators, congressmen who speak for big businesses and big groups."

Hey! This is still an ambitious guy!

Mr. Smith has already said so clearly, how could Lin Zheng not know what happened?

Unlike those beggars who were begging on the road, Mr. Smith did not come to find him because he was not planning to be a political beggar. He was very ambitious and wanted to find a towering tree for himself, and he was relying on this towering tree to continue to grow vine.

There are many similar "tower trees" in the United States. It can even be said that every state legislator, the House of Representatives and Senators, has a large group behind them, and the big forces are supporting them. Compared with those social support, these big groups behind the parliamentarians, the big forces are the foundation of the parliamentarians.

Even more than just councillors, those city hall officials, police officials, and all government officials, there is a huge figure behind them. Mr. Smith's current foundation is obviously not deep enough. As an ideal politician, he hopes to find a towering tree for himself to rely on... At least from the surface analysis, that's what it means.

"I understand what you mean," Lin Zheng finally nodded slowly after pondering for a long time: "But I think you seem a bit presumptuous."

"Take absurd" cannot be understood like this. The real meaning of this is: Why should I believe you? Just by just talking to you? Or to put it more bluntly, if there are so many people who want to gain my support, why should I support you?

Lin Zheng even had a deeper consideration: Do you know if this guy is a secret stump from special departments such as F-volt or CIA?

Mr. Smith was overjoyed!

He was not worried that Lin Zheng would ask questions. Only when Lin Zheng would ask questions would he show that he would consider cooperation with him. He had long been mentally prepared for this treatment. On the contrary, if Lin Zheng directly rejected himself without thinking, this would be his nightmare.

"Yes, it's a bit presumptuous," Smith nodded. He didn't deny it. His actions were indeed presumptuous, and he knew it in his heart: "But I don't have much time. If I can't find a strong support for the next campaign, I will fail."

"Hmm?" Lin Zheng raised his chin and signaled Smith to continue.

"Next year...oh no, this year, the California state legislative elections have begun." Smith explained the reason concisely.

"That's how..."

Lin Zheng nodded slowly: This is an ambitious guy, no longer satisfied with being just a small city councillor. He is ambitious to become a state councillor.

For lawmakers, state legislators are a threshold. Below state legislators, members do not have much rights, but once they become state legislators, their social status in the United States will rise sharply, and this guy will also enter the eyes of the Democratic Party and the Republic. In other words, for the two major parties, one state legislator has entered their sight and has the qualification to be trained. After further observation, if this guy is worthy of training, the party will tilt more resources to them, and gradually train them into members of Congress, senior officials of various government departments and even... cabinet members.

Well, but for now, I have never heard of that American of Chinese descent who have become members of the cabinet or senior officials of the State Council, and not even many of them become members of Congress.

"Two questions, the first is, what is your political career plan for yourself? I know that Chinese people in the United States don't seem to be keen on politics, and many people seem to have a relationship with local Chinese blacks and gangs; the second is, how do you gain my trust? In other words, what are the benefits of me helping you?"

The most critical drama is coming! Smith's spirit is shocked!

Mr. Lin is indeed interested in him. At least he is willing to consider himself, otherwise he would definitely not have the need to ask himself these two questions.

Similarly, whether you can get the other party’s support depends on whether your answer can satisfy the other party.

"You are right. There are not many Chinese people who are keen on politics. Everyone seems to prefer living in their own small circles, but I think this situation is abnormal. There is no one of their own in the political arena, which will make us bullied in many aspects. The Chinese have a low social status in the United States, which is a very critical factor. But I? Because of some things when I was a child, I really hope to make a difference in politics."

"Continue." Lin Zheng nodded. Although time had passed, since this was a very interesting guy, Lin Zheng was not reluctant to give him more time.

"If I can successfully run for California State Assembly this time, my goal in the next stage is to serve as a state assemblyman for two consecutive terms. After two consecutive terms, I have accumulated enough political qualifications. At this time, I will choose a suitable time to run for Congress..."

"Although the most important thing about running for Congress is to have money, you don't have money to run for success. This requires party support," Lin Zheng suddenly interrupted and interrupted him: "Where do you get the confidence that makes you feel that you can succeed and that your party will support you in running for Congress?"

"I am Chinese!" Smith straightened his chest, "You should know that California is one of the states with the most Chinese in the United States. Over the years, everyone has actually realized the importance of having their own people and voice in politics. Although everyone is not keen on politics, this does not mean that if a Chinese congressman appears, they will not support him. On the contrary, based on the people I come into contact with and the situation I encountered during the election, they are happy to see a Chinese congressman appear and will also give enough support... as long as this person is not themselves."

Lin Zheng admitted that Smith's words made some sense. Indeed, these Chinese in the United States are not keen on politics, but not being keen does not mean that they have no political demands. Looking at those lazy and greedy old blacks, they can gain a higher social status than Chinese because of their own political figures. When Chinese and blacks have conflicts, they often suffer from Chinese people. It is obviously impossible to say that they have no thoughts in their hearts.

Just as Smith said, they would be happy to see a Chinese congressman who can help them speak. The higher the guy's position, the better. As long as this person is not himself... the gun shot out the bird, the citron that makes the first move will rot first!
