Many people hope to have an office of their own in the city center of Bupen. This may be a lifelong dream for many professionals.

It sounds like... this kind of thing should be easy to do. After all, this is Bupen. As long as you have money, you can definitely rent an office.

Most people think about it this way, but they face two problems.

Either the rent is too high and ordinary people cannot afford the rent in the center of Bupen. That is a price that can make people hold their breath!

Or the cheap rent is only rented to designated people. This is Bupen after all, a place where capital and politics meet and merge.

Here you can see offices that only cost 165 yuan a month but have 500 square meters, and you can also see offices that cost 2,000 yuan a month but only have 100 square meters.

They might even be right next door to each other!

Ms. Tracy has a nice office here, about 200 square meters, not too big, and certainly not small. The monthly rent is 650 yuan.

At this price, you may not even be able to rent fifty square meters elsewhere.

This was due to her uncle, a patriarch of one of the many dioceses of the Commonwealth. When she expressed her desire to locate an office in Bupen, someone soon came to her door with a rental notice.

In a workplace with a sign of a private campaign office, Ms. Tracy couldn't see much joy on her face at this time, and she was in trouble again.

She had not considered running in a Progressive Party stronghold state, and she did not have the energy within the Progressive Party to get committees and committee chairs to support her.

She will not seek trouble on the territory of the Conservative Party. Although they have lost the president, this does not mean that they have lost their base.

The president ended his presidential career in a very "shameful" way, but saved the dignity and dignity of the conservative party.

For Conservative turf, where the damage is less severe, they are as unwelcoming to outsiders as ever.

She could only run in swing states. There were no decent competitors in the state she had previously targeted. Plus, she spent a lot of money on it. Even before she started campaigning, she had already made people in the entire state aware of her.

The strategy of the entire campaign team is also very simple and effective. It mobilizes female supporters to vote. The proportion of women in this swing state they selected is almost equal to that of men.

But recently, a very strong opponent has appeared.

The Conservative Party seems to be planning to become active again after several years of silence. Her opponent is a 42-year-old, very charismatic, retired soldier who has served in the military and has made meritorious service.

After retiring from the military, he studied law on his own and is now running for governor as a lawyer.

There is almost nothing inappropriate about his resume. He is a soldier and a lawyer. This is very in line with the needs of the federal people for politicians.

The profession of a lawyer shows that he is at least a rational person who understands right and wrong.

His military background means that he will not be as conservative as those conservative politicians in the past, but he will also be equally aggressive.

Politics and parties never stick to a certain political platform. When they need to change, they will change faster than anyone else.

Just like the Progressive Party talked about conservative strategies in previous years, now it is the Conservative Party’s turn to take the initiative to enter the radical camp.

Whatever the people need, politicians give them what they need and then get support. This is politics.

Compared with these "old politicians" of the Conservative Party, Ms. Tracey is obviously a bit... unable to keep up with the rhythm.

In the Federation, if a person without political ability wants to win a political election, it is not impossible, as long as he has money!

This is probably the most amazing thing about federal politics. No candidate needs to have experience in politics at any level.

Before they become mayor, governor or even president, they can be a singer, an actor, a cook, a beggar or even a car washer.

Whether they have political experience is not important to voters or politicians.

But this does not work everywhere, such as Congress.

It's difficult to get a seat in Congress without enough political experience, but that's beside the point.

So how does an inexperienced woman defeat her experienced opponent with a resume that is too good to find fault with in the election?

It's very simple, just spend money to get the features of the Federation.

Yes, just spend money on what may be the single most unique election in the world.

With denser posters, more intensive activities, high-priced speeches, and an excellent campaign team, it was easy to win the election.

A cat or a dog can win the election, which is enough to show how stupid federal politics can be sometimes.

But then again, this is a capital-first country. Doesn’t this exactly meet the needs of capitalists?

As long as you spend money, you can get a political spokesperson.

Now if Ms. Tracy wants to defeat her opponent, she must either spend more money or find the opponent's weakness.

The campaign office's advice to her was to use her father's status as mayor to make a political bargain to get support from the state Senate and the state Assembly, which would increase her odds of winning the governor's race.

At the same time, her uncle needs to mobilize his religious advantages. It is best to add some mysterious background to her during the TV preaching process, and then let the voters vote for her.

Finally, if a few more million in campaign funds come in, the problem won't be big.

For the campaign team, the value and significance of a mayor will never be as valuable and meaningful as that of a governor, so giving up a mayor in exchange for the support of the local state assembly is a very good deal.

Ms. Tracey is considering this idea, and she's still a little unsure how to bring it up with her father.

"For the sake of your dear daughter's political career, we have decided to let you retire early..."

A little cruel.

"What if we can get more money?" Ms. Tracy asked, holding her forehead. "If we can get 10 million, will it help our election?"

The unusual-looking ladies and gentlemen in the office nodded. The person in charge, who was also the leader of the campaign team, gave an affirmative reply, "If it's 10 million, it will indeed be of great use." .”

"But I'm more inclined to use your father to trade. The support of the state House is more important than money. They themselves are a big net..."

The plan is actually very simple. Use a powerful mayor position in exchange for the support of three to five state senators. This is not difficult to do.

Politicians are still very concerned about the mayor. It may seem like he is just a mayor, but after all, he can accurately manage the specific work and life of residents in a city.

It can specifically affect the industrial and commercial development of a city and formulate some policies.

If the superstructure is used to sell political resources at a good price, then the lower-level politicians are the specific executors, and the position of this executor is very important.

It is important not only to make the policies promised by some top figures come true, but also to get some emerging capitalists in the city to embrace the party.

A transaction for the position of mayor often involves many, very complicated relationships. After all, only one carrot can fit into a hole. As long as three or five state senators support Ms. Tracy, then with some public relations, the state House can It's not a big problem if it's the other way around.

After thinking for a long time, Ms. Tracy rubbed her temples and said, "I need to make a phone call..."

The ladies and gentlemen in the room left one after another, giving Ms. Tracy a private enough space.

She picked up the phone, hesitated a little, and finally dialed Lynch's number.

It took three different phone calls to find Lynch, which is one of the most troubling problems of this era, communications not synchronized in a timely manner.

Sometimes once you miss some information, it will turn into a big trouble, and this "missing" is happening constantly.

The moment she picked up the phone, Ms. Tracy summoned up the courage and after a few simple chats, she said sincerely, "Lynch, I need your help."

Lynch on the other end of the phone did not sign a check without saying anything like the first time, nor did he sign a check after saying a few words like the last time.

This time, he refused.

"I've already paid twice, Ms. Tracey."

But even a rejection would not make people angry, but would make Ms. Tracy blush and feel ashamed.

Yes, Lynch paid twice, and now she's calling to ask for campaign funds like a greedy, ugly bitch.

"I'm sorry, I know this... is a bit too much, but I really need help now." Thinking of her own campaign, Ms. Tracy continued to ask.

"An opponent appeared outside of the plan, and he was very strong. We analyze that if the current situation continues, it will be difficult for us to win the final election."

"You know, not only you, but also others have invested considerable funds and energy, including myself. We can't just watch all this investment go to waste!"

"It doesn't take much, just three to five million. I will use other methods to make up for the gap between us..."

Ms. Tracy told what happened recently. After hearing this, Lynch felt a little surprised, but not so surprised.

When there is no clearly strong candidate for governor in a state, especially in a swing state, it is the best time for politicians to launch attacks on the state.

The special thing about swing states is the change and uncertainty of political positions, which also means that everyone has a possibility, as long as that person can be liked by voters.

If people like a cat or a dog, it can win as long as its owner has the money to pave the way for it.

"There are many ways to defeat your opponent, maybe we can sit down and talk..." Lynch did not agree directly, but wanted to talk to her.

Ms. Tracy agreed immediately without much hesitation.
