Chapter 1258 Sponsorship

The matter is actually very simple, because Andre Cook is about to hold the governor's election. At this time, he must prevent any unfavorable things from happening to him. ←, it just so happens that what happened to Christine will be caught by the opponent and used wantonly, just like the article "Running for Governor" by Mark Twain that Zhen Fan learned when he was studying, the so-called "free election" It is nothing but a farce of shameless slander, slander and frame-up. Although it is impossible for the opponent in the article to instigate nine toddlers, including children of various skin colors and in all kinds of tattered clothes, to rush to the podium of the public meeting and hug the legs of the protagonist in the article, Things like calling him a daddy, but even more absurd things would be taken advantage of.

"Honorary citizenship is not very important to me." Zhen Fan looked at Andre Cook and said suddenly, "Mr. Governor, why don't we talk about something else."

This is the asking price. Andre smiled slightly and nodded. It is enough to ask for a price. As long as there is a price, there will be a negotiation. The so-called transaction is a matter of bargaining. Andre Cook has made countless transactions in his diagnosis and treatment career. , are reached in constant consultations and compromises, so this time is no exception.

"Well, I always bargain when I hear an offer." Andre Cook looked like that. To be honest, the price tag of an honorary citizen is indeed a bit low. People with money, fame and status like Zhen Fan basically dismiss such honors. Because everyone knows that this is just a tool for powerful people to manipulate.

Zhen Fan thought for a while, then considered his language and said with a smile: "You know I promoted a reform in Los Angeles, which is to promote the entry of Chinese medicine in California to the state. It includes the construction of Chinese medicine hospitals, Chinese herbal medicine The research and production of Chinese patent medicines, and the inclusion of traditional Chinese medicine into the scope of medical insurance... Now that these tasks have been approved, it is estimated that it is only a matter of time. Maybe there will be good news in the near future. Mr. Governor, New York actually does."

Andre Cook was taken aback. I didn't expect Zhen Fan's deal to be in this condition. He frowned, tapped the deputy arm of the seat with his fingers, pondered for a while and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhen, this... I can't promise you easily, after all, we don't have a large number of people in the two houses now. advantage, and regarding these matters, I don’t know what kind of attitude people on our side will have…”

"It's okay, you can try to persuade them." Zhen Fan shrugged. "I'm not in a hurry, take my time. New York is a big city, and it's also my main purpose to promote Chinese medicine. Maybe it will benefit New Yorkers. Haven't you heard of the one I opened in Los Angeles? Is the reputation of the Chinese medicine clinic?"

Of course, I have heard that many congressmen and their relatives and friends have been to the clinic there for treatment, and all of them have achieved very good results, which are better than Western medicine. But... Once you really want to advance this matter, you must consider profits. Some of them hold or own pharmaceutical companies. So what is now considered is not the well-being of the people of New York, but their own interests.

But compared to what Andre Cook asked Zhen Fan to do,

Promoting the development of Chinese medicine in New York is indeed a major event. There is no comparison at all. Zhen Fan also knew that it was impossible to do it all at once, so he said to Andre Cook: "Don't worry, since it's a deal, then I won't let you suffer. Our interests must not be too far apart. So... If you're going to go on for re-election as a Democratic representative. Well... I'll give you my full support. You know, I can raise money for your campaign.

Campaign finance is indeed an issue. It is said that Whitman, a billionaire who planned to run for the governor of California at the beginning. Had planned to invest 148 million dollars in funds to run for governor of California. Thus setting a record for running for governor. It can be said that this is a very expensive game. Of course, high investment also has high returns.

"I can come up with this amount. If I can, I will gradually invest the money in your campaign." Zhen Fan said, deep in two fingers, "Twenty million dollars, this is my favor to you." political donations. Of course... what I want in return is that after you are elected, you will fully promote the process of Chinese medicine entering New York State."

Twenty million dollars, which made Andre? Cook couldn't help being a little moved, but after all, he is an old political fritter, and he still didn't change his face. He secretly endured it, pretending to be thinking and said: "This... Can I think about it first? I know it's not because I alone can…”

"Well, I agree, this matter is indeed not settled immediately, I am waiting for your news, but as an early investment, I will explain this matter well, and strive to let you get a better deal Impression. So...are we starting to cooperate?" Zhen Fan stood up and stretched out his hand to Andre Cook.

Andre Cook hesitated for a moment, but reached out his hand and held it with Zhen Fan, then nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, we are now working together. But... if I lose the election, the money ..."

Zhen Fan smiled and said: "Money is not a problem. Since it is a donation, then I am betting on your and my future. Since we want to share benefits, we must be prepared to suffer together, so...don't worry."

"Deal!" At this time, Andre Cook didn't hesitate anymore, leaned his upper body slightly, hugged each other shoulder to shoulder with Zhen Fan, patted each other's shoulders, then smiled at each other, and went outside together go away.

Twenty million US dollars, as long as it can promote the progress of Chinese medicine, it is very worthwhile. As for whether Andre Cook can be re-elected, Zhen Fan has already known it in his mind. Judging from his face, his forehead is full, and the palace of official salary is faintly red, and it shines downward on the palace of life, and the palace of fortune on the left and right. This is the face of a prosperous official, so Zhen Fan has already deduced that he must be re-elected. Don't worry about the 20 million dollars being spent in vain. It would be a joke if people like Zhen Fan depended on luck.

Andre Cook enthusiastically arranged a car for Zhen Fan and sent him to the hotel where he was staying. It was another two-hour drive. After getting off the car, Zhen Fan went directly to see Bit, who has announced today that he will stop filming for a day. So I stayed in the hotel all day, and this guy was a little upset because he sacrificed a day of filming, and he was sitting in the room with Gary, looking out the window at the people swimming in the swimming pool on the roof of a building, And accompany Gary to drink boring wine.

Seeing Zhen Fan coming in, Gary smiled and said: "Finally someone came to talk to me. After spending half a day with this guy, my mouth is almost suffocating. Looking at his face, I really doubt myself." Didn’t he return the twenty dollars he lost in the bet?” He said with a smile, let Zhen Fan sit next to them, and the three of them sat side by side, Gary got up again and brought Zhen Fan a glass of wine, and handed it over to him. past.

"I'm going to see the governor!" Zhen Fan looked at Bit and smiled, "I made a deal with him, which involves 20 million US dollars. In two days, I will issue a statement with him. You I know, this is a big deal, but...I can tell you with certainty that this deal must be a good deal!"

"Really?" Bit suddenly turned his head to look at Zhen Fan, "What kind of deal is it? Twenty million dollars is indeed a lot of money, why did you conclude such a huge deal with him so quietly? Are you crazy? You made a decision so easily? Oh... I see, it’s a political donation, it must be, what are you planning to get from him? Such a big investment, it must be a big deal!”

Gary was taken aback by Bit's sudden speech. He glanced at Bit and said, "I thought you were going to not talk all day today. I have already made such preparations, so I brought three bottles of wine here, just to accompany you all day, haha, look It’s still amazing to come.”

"I want to know what he wants to get with such a big investment." Bit snorted, then looked at Zhen Fan, shook his head and sighed, "I'm not bored because of the delay in filming, but because I always It feels a bit wrong. The boss of the gangster boss hasn’t moved yet, which is a bit strange.” It turned out that Bit was afraid that the gangsters would retaliate against the crew. They couldn't deal with big figures like Christine, Yifei, Fei Bingbing and Zhen Fan, but they had no problem dealing with ordinary crew members.

If the photographer had an accident today, and the lighting engineer had an accident tomorrow, then the film would really be impossible to shoot. Bit's worries were not without reason. It's no wonder that some people are in a bad mood today, which is actually caused by worry. After all, the strong dragon still doesn't overwhelm the local snake.

"It's okay, no one dares to do anything to the crew." Zhen Fan comforted Bit with a smile, "I promise, if they want to do anything to the crew, then...they will be removed from New York, and I will do it Here." Zhen Fan couldn't help a sneer from the corner of his mouth when he said this. Yes, if someone came to make trouble recklessly, then I don't mind standing up here. He has never had a good impression of people in the underworld. There will be no mercy if you make a move.

"Well, I hope you're right!" Bit sighed, and looked at Zhen Fan, "You haven't told me, did you make political donations to Andre Cook? It is said that this guy The reputation in New York is not very good, so you are not afraid that your 20 million dollars will be wasted by that guy?"

"Since it's about politics, why can't you take a gamble?" Zhen Fan smiled, "Politics has always been a gamble on luck, I'm willing to gamble, haha, I like this guy."

"Well, I know your ability. It seems that you have never been inaccurate in the things you are optimistic about." Bit smiled wryly, looking at Zhen Fan, "Twenty million dollars. Not two thousand dollars, you are so flimsy Just a word, and it was handed over. Twenty million dollars!" He sighed again. (To be continued..) u
