Chapter One Thousand and Four Full Firepower
New York, Lee's apartment.
A week has passed since the trip to Washington, and during this past week, Li Zitao has been holding conference calls almost every day.
Teleconferences in this era are a bit strenuous. There is a "communicator" sitting in front of each call to ensure that every word he says can be clearly conveyed to the person opposite, and then to ensure that the other party's words are clearly conveyed to his ears. middle.
For this reason, the floor of the meeting room in the apartment is covered with telephone wires. In addition to the telephone, there are also typewriters, calculators, pens and paper on the table.
On his blackboard, he kept counting numbers, recording...erasing, recording...erasing again.
Li Zitao is calculating how many jobs he can find for his new friends and how many people will need to be mobilized to fund his campaign.
Yes, just three months after the election, it is already time to start the issue of re-election in the next term.
Truman wanted to be re-elected. To be precise, everyone in that position would want to be re-elected, without exception.
And he was only 15 months away from the mid-term pre-selection, and then the pre-selection ended, and there were only 18 months left before the official election.
It sounds like there is a lot of time, but it is actually very urgent. Coupled with the issue of governance, Li Zitao is really worried about his hairline.
"Boss, so now we are the Democratic Party?" This was the first question Ben asked after learning that Li Zitao had reached an agreement with the new president.
"I am a person without party affiliation, have you forgotten?" Li Zitao answered his question with a smile.
If he had to struggle with this issue, Li Zitao could only say that he was a greedy speculator.
Partisanship has nothing to do with him, he's just here to make money.
It's just that the current campaign is too troublesome. According to the law, each individual or organization can only provide a maximum campaign fund of $5,000 for each campaign.
Therefore, in order to fulfill his promise to his friends, Li Zitao needs to use part of the management to complete the donation every time.
"It would be great if there is a super political action committee now." Li Zitao is very much looking forward to the emergence of this organization.
Not everyone can do the gold master's father, but he is fully qualified now...
"Boss, I have a new idea." When the Blue and White Chamber of Commerce and others were undergoing effective and necessary rectification actions, Ben proposed a new concept to him.
Political action committees, dedicated to befriending and influencing politicians, can even ask Congress to legitimize them.
"Political fundraising is legal, everyone has the right to participate in politics, and political lobbying doesn't just exist for a day."
The presidential elections in the United States have always been purchased, and its nature has long since deteriorated. It is an indisputable fact that this problem will only intensify in the future.
Ben wanted to pierce the window paper and bring the problem to the surface. This is a bold idea.
"You mean, is it unconstitutional?" Li Zitao thought that his current expression must be full of excitement with sparkling eyes.
"We can start from this point, and we can exert influence on the Supreme Court." Ben was talking about several specially appointed justices.
Their lives are tenacious enough to allow Li Zitao to get enough returns for his investment.
"Are you sure?" Li Zitao didn't want to do things that he wasn't sure about. Gambling can only be done occasionally. The result of bad gambling is nothing.
"Very large," replied Ben, after careful consideration.
"Then let's do it... It seems that there will be a game of power and money, and it will be very interesting." Li Zitao readily agreed with his suggestion.
As the presidency and government agencies expand their powers, the power has undoubtedly grown stronger.
But for this right to work, money is first needed as a lever, so that it can have the power to move it.
Truman needed Lee's help in so many ways.
Adams has just joined L-BhG, and he also urgently needs performance to consolidate his position and win the favor of other shareholders.
And beside him are three former justices,
This is the perfect time.
"Disclose some information first, I think many people will be interested." Li Zitao asked Ben to disclose part of the information first.
This plan is a good thing for politicians themselves, or for companies or institutions.
I believe that they will all be happy to see their opinions, and testing their tendencies and tone will also allow Ben to make a more correct judgment.
Meanwhile, TV subsidies have finally come down.
As long as it is a retired military family, the first TV purchase can get a subsidy of 450 US dollars, and this part will be directly transferred to the account of 'LNC'.
This subsidy undoubtedly increases the impulse of veterans to buy TVs, but that's all.
You must know that the price of a TV is not cheap, it costs 998 US dollars.
With a subsidy of $450, they still need to pay $548 to bring a TV home, which is not a small sum.
In order to stimulate sales, the Los Angeles News Corporation undertook the publicity work, analyzing and reporting TV in newspapers and radio.
There are also columns that turn TV shows into words, but always end on a high point, commonly known as 'broken dogs. '
This tickled the hearts of those who saw the story, further stimulating their desire to buy.
LNC also launched various activities very intimately, such as "applause for war heroes," and non-commissioned officers and above can get a $50 discount for the first time when they purchase TVs.
There is also a free and thoughtful door-to-door installation service for all customers, a 12-month warranty period (non-human damage), and door-to-door repairs to relieve your worries.
The Hearst Group also started to make efforts, and various doubts and denials came one after another, saying that it was a sensationalist, a new toy for the rich, and a garbage product with no practicality at all.
The two sides come and go, from the technology used by LNC, involving patents and usage methods, functions, to prices, after-sales, maintenance, and various troubles...
Intense discussions are staged almost every day, and the wonderful wording makes people feel excited. Some people even stand in front of the radio just to listen to the two sides spraying each other.
However, before they knew it, they had deeply remembered 'LNC' and 'TV. '
Even link them together, LNC=TV.
The words repeated every day deepen the impression, and more and more understanding makes people agree. At the same time, the desire and curiosity for TV are also unconsciously increasing.
There's never been a better promotional ad, at least not at this time.
LNC is also expanding steadily, from the initial dealers in two states to four states with its own warehouses and dealers.
LNC was a big hit until demand orders from 9 states.
That's to be expected, it's just that when success comes, it's still too exciting to sleep on.
"After bad luck comes luck, Charlie, you should come and see how busy our factory is." Early in the morning, Li Zitao, who was exercising, received a call from him.
What frustrates him is why everyone likes to show off to him, can't they find something to do, like sell more TVs.
