Chapter 1069 1054. Planning the Mayor (55)

People come and go, traffic is rolling.

Ben McGee stood at the huge floor-to-ceiling windows and looked out. Half of the town fell into view. After the snow swept away, the straight and flat road was exposed, and some gardens were still a little red.

Looking down at the busy or leisurely crowd below, McGee unconsciously felt a sense of pride from the bottom of his heart.

Soon, this trace of arrogance rapidly expanded and turned into a wave of ambition.

"Creak", when the door slammed, Maggie trembled subconsciously, and hurried away from the French windows and walked to the side.

He looked up, and saw that the person who walked in was not Wang Bo as he thought, but Ralph Jackson, a young man who was gradually becoming his confidant.

In this way, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood in front of the window again and asked, "Where's the mayor? Raff, do you know where he went?"

Yes, he is standing in the mayor's office now, that's why he has such a big floor-to-ceiling window, and he will be nervous when he hears the door being pushed open.

Jackson shrugged and said, "Maybe let's go to his ranch. The mayor likes to do some private affairs when he is at work. I think he must be busy with his own affairs again."

After hearing what his subordinates said, McGee showed a jealous expression on his face: "Damn it, God is so unfair. Why did he hand over such a good piece of land to a yellow-skinned bastard? New Zealand belongs to our National Party, Sunset Town The land should also belong to the National Party."

Jackson said helplessly: "But the reality is so unfair, and I can't understand why it happened. Such a good town fell into the hands of a lazy and selfish guy. If you were the boss, you would definitely be able to control this town." Turn it into a second Queenstown."

"No, it's the second Auckland, the Auckland of the South Island." McGee corrected.

He really thought so. Sunset Town has unique conditions, beautiful scenery, convenient transportation, important geographical location, fertile soil, and excellent quality of livestock. It is simply a paradise carefully cultivated by God.

But this paradise fell into the hands of a foreigner who didn't even know New Zealand's electoral system. Every time McGee thought about this issue, he wanted to spit.

Jackson said: "Yes, the second Oakland, I believe you can do it, boss. There are still two more months until the mayor election day in Sunset Town. It would be great if you can win Mayor Wang by then."

Speaking of this, McGee shook his head helplessly: "Forget it, buddy, let's face the reality. It is impossible for Sunset Town to have a second mayor. I really don't understand what the people in Wellington think, how could they Allow a town to be built on a piece of private land?"

"It's very simple. They wanted to use this method to take back this land. It used to be New Zealand's last independent territory. They obviously wanted to build a town on this land first, and then send their own people to the town through elections. Long positions. This slowly erodes and eventually nationalizes the land,” Jackson said.

McGee sneered and said: "Ha, it's a good idea, those idiots, they certainly didn't expect that the town is developing very well now, and the townspeople are very satisfied with the mayor's ability to govern. It is simply a waste of money to want to take back the leadership of the town. dream."

Jackson thought about it, and said, "However, according to the information I've heard, that's not the case. Mayor Wang's position in Sunset Town is not unshakable."

"Even if his status can be shaken, so what? If I participate in the election and win, then what? This is his private land, and he can drive us out!" McGee said angrily and powerlessly.

Jackson laughed and said, "I don't think he would do that, boss. We have all seen that this guy is still very concerned about the development of the territory. I think even if someone becomes the mayor, as long as the town is well developed, he will still Willing to compromise."

"The most important thing is that life is not just what the law says. He now belongs to the Green Party. If our National Party wins the general election, then the Green Party must give in to us. At that time, through party negotiations, we can let the Green Party Force Wang Bo to compromise."

McGee is not an idiot, he shook his head and said: "It's not reliable, Mayor Wang is a very tough bastard, he won't buy it."

Jackson said: "Why not? The industry in Sunset Town has spread so much that he can no longer say it alone. I mean, you are too pessimistic. If you are interested in the town mayor, you can try After a while, you may find that this is something that is possible to succeed.”

McGee looked at him suspiciously and said, "Are you so confident?"

Jackson took a natural gesture and said: "Yes, boss, I have confidence in you. If you can be elected mayor, then through party pressure and our negotiations, Wang Bo will compromise."

"You see, you don't want to own his land and property. Your goal is the Parliament in Wellington. Sunset Town is just a ladder for you to get promoted. After you become the mayor, you only need to promise Wang Bo to work hard. Develop the town, and after you take office, you will be promoted to Wellington or Auckland to take office, and give him a better town, so why would he not like it?"

"In particular, the Green Party will put pressure on him. When he is in trouble at home and abroad, what choice do you think he has?"

After hearing what Jackson said, McGee showed a thoughtful expression: "You are right, Raff, I have to admit that what you said makes sense."

Jackson said: "I'm just telling a fact, boss, think about it, the National Party's victory in the general election is a sure thing, so it's only one step away from you becoming the mayor or even entering Congress: you are in the election Harvest the hearts of the people, get their votes, and become the mayor!"

McGee frowned and thought about this topic, then nodded slowly: "It makes sense, but it's not easy to get the votes of the townspeople, after all, we are outsiders."

"It's all about human effort, boss. Whether it's the national election or the township election, it's a gamble. I think the future earnings are worth the gamble. Anyway, the party has given you a lot of money."

When Jackson said this, McGee became vigilant: "How do you know that the party has given me a lot of money? Besides, the money is for me to use it to win votes for the party in this area."

Jackson said: "Everyone knows this news. After all, you are the most important backbone member of the National Party. I don't think it is worthwhile to use the money to win votes for the party, because the number of votes in Sunset Town does not affect our National Party's victory. Instead, you have to think about yourself, if you don't seize this opportunity, I think it will be difficult for you to enter Congress in the future."

McGee nodded slowly, with a calm look: "So, if we run for the election, how will we win votes?"

Jackson smiled slightly: "Boss, I got a secret message that Sunset Town is going to build a square. Wang Bo definitely wants to build it himself, but what if we take away the right to build this square from him? You invest and host it If a square is built, how much sensation will it cause in the town? How many topics? With topics and attention, are you afraid that there will be no votes?"
