Chapter 2439 The Speaker with an Unpleasant Face

Because not only did voters call the office, but also close supporters directly contacted the congressman himself. The cause of the excitement that started today quickly became clear.

Tesla.

Tesla, which was born in Silicon Valley and has attracted much attention from the Chinese and even the world. The first model has already been tested on the road, and the road test response has been very smooth. It is very likely that Tesla will not choose to build a factory in California.

Musk, the well-known entrepreneur who has always been Tesla's mouthpiece and is responsible for the location of the factory, has clearly stated to the teams responsible for negotiations in many states for the first time what Tesla will bring to the local area after it is put into production. .

It will create at least more than 5 billion US dollars in GDP and create more than 50,000 job opportunities!

Even if California's GDP is listed separately, it is generally ranked at least tenth or tenth in the world. For rich states, this is a project worthy of their full efforts.

What ordinary voters are most concerned about is naturally the more than 50,000 job opportunities.

In the United States, there are very few companies that can promise to provide 50,000 jobs.

What's more, it would be a job opportunity that looked pretty good, because after all, it was a Silicon Valley company.

To a certain extent, the American people's perception of Silicon Valley is similar to that of Wall Street. Both places symbolize high-paying jobs.

If we look at Tesla's investors, in addition to Mr. Feng, the most successful entrepreneur in Silicon Valley after Google, there are also the founders of Microsoft, Apple, Google, and Amazon...

Is there any more prestigious company than this?

Entrepreneurs are most concerned about the supporting business that Tesla’s launch will definitely bring. According to the general rules of the automobile industry, out of cost and efficiency considerations, their choice of supporting suppliers will follow the principle of proximity.

——This is why, not just congressmen from districts near San Francisco, but congressmen from all districts in California have received calls from constituents.

When the current seemingly bad economic situation encounters such an eye-catching project, everyone's expectations for Tesla are particularly strong.

The main reason why Tesla deliberately excluded California is also very clear: California’s congressmen do not support them.

Therefore, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Representative of California’s Eighth Congressional District, has received more than one phone call asking, “Are you not supportive of Tesla enough?”

Of course, not everyone asks so directly, but that's what it means.

In fact, not only voters, but also many other California congressmen want to ask Pelosi this question at this time.

First, she is the most powerful person on Capitol Hill among California congressmen.

Secondly, she is the most unfriendly to China among the California congressmen, or among the leading politicians in the United States.

Other politicians in the United States, even those well-known hawks, will at least publicly state that they "support more aspects and deeper exchanges with China."

But Grandma Pelosi clearly opposed even cultural exchanges with China.

When some people were joking in private, they had already discussed the topic: What would happen if George W. Bush was not careful? Considering the current anti-terrorism and anti-war situation, this is very possible; and then Vice President Cheney also died due to heart disease. So what? That's equally possible, because he had already suffered five serious heart attacks before appearing in public on crutches last year due to heart problems.

They were 1978, 1984, 1988 and 2000 and 2001 respectively.

The time span has been so long, even if his heart suddenly and completely stops working tomorrow or now, it is not unacceptable.

In short, if those two people do nothing and it is this person's turn to enter the White House, a situation even more tense than during the Cold War may soon arise.

As for the congressmen, they all know that the most important person behind Tesla is a Chinese.

Therefore, when faced with such questioning from voters, the first thing they thought of was her. Otherwise, who would not support such a project?

First of all, it is environmentally friendly. When will the current election leave the topic of environmental protection?

Secondly, it's high-tech.

This is a high-tech enterprise that has been stamped by many high-tech tycoons in the United States.

After that, there is naturally its prospect, as well as the money scene.

The congressmen naturally know that the projects founded and invested by Feng Yiping have never been unsuccessful, and they have all been great successes.

What's more, Tesla has received support from so many big names in the technology industry. How could its development be bad?

Precisely because there are so many high-tech big guys behind Tesla, it is too late for them to embrace projects like Tesla, because then there will be an opportunity to build relationships with those high-tech big guys.

Those big guys are not only influential, but also rich, and they are not ordinary rich.

What's more, looking at the experience of O'Hei, who is a colleague now and may soon no longer be a colleague in the future, we can see how helpful social networks can be to the election.

Not to mention its publicity function, just its fundraising function is something that no one can underestimate.

The reason why Obama can fight Hillary on equal terms and even lead at this time is that the funds he raised through social networks may even exceed Hillary, who has received support from many wealthy people.

And whether it is Facebook or NEXTDOOR, whose company is it?

So, oppose Tesla? Have we been kicked in the head by a donkey?

Grandma Pelosi fully understands everyone's current reaction, so her face is very gloomy now.

Who is plotting against me?

Is it my old opponent in the party, the second-in-command in the party in Congress, and my defeated opponent, Stanley Hoyer, or those guys in the Republican Party?

Or, who instigated the incompetent guy in the White House?

Because, Tesla? When did I oppose it?

To be honest, yes, she is very unimpressed by Feng Yiping, who has become famous in the United States and the world in recent years.

However, for a politician like her who is almost 70 years old and has climbed to the current position in the Capitol Hill where there are intrigues and struggles, whether it is attitude, position, or even doctrine... do those things count?

Only interests, and only interests, are what she cares about most.

In the face of interests, is there anything that cannot be treated differently?

Speaking of interests, oh wait, recently a group of people on Wall Street seem to have expressed their desire to donate to their own charity funds? It seems that it is related to Mr. Feng?

Her heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that Feng Yiping has heard the relevant news?

So, the mastermind behind today's chaos is him?

Also, what measures will the Republican Party take?

California Governor Schwarzenegger is a Republican.

But immediately, she put the issue aside and informed her chief of staff, "Just arrange a meeting between me and the California Democratic Party members,"

"In the name of the chairman of the California Democratic Party," she added.

"In addition," she called this confidant of the confidant to her and whispered a few words.

The chief of staff's face changed several times, and he nodded in response, "Okay, I understand."

But as soon as he went out, he quickly returned, "Wesley called,"

"Which Wesley?"

"Senator ***'s fundraising manager in Silicon Valley," the chief of staff explained.

Grandma Pelosi shook her hand, "He said I was away,"

This person called at this time, and it was naturally not good to say anything good.

A few minutes later, the door of her office was knocked again. This time, it was Hillary's fundraising manager in Silicon Valley.

Her face became even gloomier.

One of these two will definitely run for president on behalf of their Democratic Party next year, and there is a high chance of winning.

…………

During lunch, Feng Yiping, who was arranging the next trip, received a happy call from Cummins, "Feng, California has taken action,"

"Huh?"

"You don't know, the offices of California congressmen have been bustling since this morning,"

"Even the entire Congress has been alarmed,"

"Haha, that's great!" Feng Yiping didn't expect that Governor Shi, the former screen tough guy, would still be so powerful and resolute when taking action.
