Chapter 2390 Maintaining the Future
"Today is a day worth celebrating. You finally figured it out, Tommy. (Due to cache reasons, please visit the .\nCOM website directly through your browser to watch the fastest chapter update)"
After saying this, Digo stretched out his hands to hug Tommy. Tommy's eyes were full of anger, but this anger flashed in his eyes.
"Of course, Digo, I have thought very clearly these days. Such an opportunity may only come once in a lifetime. I still want to try it out."
The two entered the house. Tommy took out the wine from the wine cabinet and heated up some frozen food. Digo said happily.
"We must have a good drink tonight."
Tommy smiled and nodded. Digo now looked extremely excited. Tommy certainly knew that Digo could push all the bad debts in CA to him. Once he failed in the election, he would not only have to bear all the responsibilities, but also all the problems in CA. He must bear all the problems in CA, and his future road to power would come to an abrupt end.
And Digo would smoothly go to a higher place. Tommy had seen all this very clearly.
Digo is now unable to solve the economic debt problem of CA and other problems. If he does not solve them, he will not be able to move up. But if he only needs to find a scapegoat, Digo can throw everything on Tommy.
Tommy quickly brought some dishes, and Digo toasted Tommy with a glass of wine. He smiled and nodded. After drinking, the two sat down and started eating.
"I actually always value your Tommy. You should have listened to me and prepared earlier. There are still 4 months before the election. Starting tomorrow, we have to build momentum for your election. I will handle all the relevant procedures within a week and let you serve as the successor interim governor, but you have the right to vote within the faction."
Tommy nodded. Now he knows exactly what Digo is planning. Digo patted Tommy on the shoulder and said.
"Don't worry, I will submit your information tomorrow morning. Everyone will nominate you as the leader of our faction, and you can legitimately participate in the election."
Tommy nodded, and faced the raised glass, he took another sip, and then Tommy looked at the quiet streets outside. Many people were still running at night. Such a wealthy area was very quiet.
Tommy still remembered the excitement and excitement when he bought this villa. At that time, Tommy often brought different women back home. These women wanted to hug Tommy tightly, but in the end Tommy just drank with them for fun.
Tommy had already considered marriage. Marriage was just a means for him to continue to rise to the upper echelons of power. Tommy would not marry a powerless woman.
What Tommy thought most about now was to win over the snobs in the slums as much as possible, and then he planned to continue to go to these slums to conduct various transactions.
Compared to going to some urban areas to give various business speeches and stand with some companies, Tommy is more willing to go to the slums. Now there are more and more slums across the country.
These people have occupied most of the country. Some big businessmen have already placed their bets. Although the faction can provide a lot of help for Tommy to participate in the election, this help is limited to some of Tommy's normal election activities.
And they will not be willing to pay more money, because Tommy's faction's predicted election rate in this election is less than 10%, which is too low compared with other factions.
In particular, the two major factions GHD and MZD have taken more than 60% of the votes, but 20% of these votes come from slums. These are the votes Tommy needs, so there are still four months, and Tommy does not plan to waste time canvassing in various cities, because it is meaningless.
Tommy only plans to go to the slums one by one to negotiate. As long as the negotiation is done, Tommy is very likely to have more than 30% of the votes, so he can become president.
Of course, Tommy didn't intend to talk to Dirk about all this, he said.
"Dirk, can I personally take charge of this election? I don't need people in the faction to directly command, but I need to plan it myself. If I don't plan it, I may not have any chance."
Dirk was stunned, and some hesitation flashed in his eyes. He stood up and said.
"I'll make a few calls first, you wait for me."
After saying that, Dirk went out. Tommy knew that Dirk would do everything he could to convince the other party. After all, Dirk now just wanted to get out of CA State and get to a higher place.
Tommy came to the window with a glass of wine. In the garden, Dirk was talking to someone with a serious face. As long as Dirk wanted to get out of CA State, he would definitely stand on his side.
The experience of the past few days made Tommy feel unprecedented happiness. He had thought it through very clearly. He could only take a gamble. If he took a gamble, Tommy still had a chance. If he couldn't let go, he would have no chance in his life.
Whether he agreed to take over the position of governor of CA State or not, Tommy's road would be cut off.
It was not until an hour later that Digo finished the call. When he came in, he said with a happy face.
"The faction can provide you with most of the election funds. As for what you want to plan, it must be approved. You can write out the plan first."
After Digo finished speaking, he thought of another thing.
"What about Gene's matter?"
Tommy shook his head.
"Gene has left. He will never come back. I promise."
Tommy said as Diego stood up in surprise.
"Don't worry, Gene will definitely not come back. He has already left, and he should have something important to do."
When he thought of Gene, Tommy's mind was filled with the shabby future. He knew very well that he had to make all preparations now to prepare for the war.
"You tell me what you think first."
Diego asked.
"My idea is simple, to win over people from slums across the country,"
As soon as these words came out, Di Ge was stunned, and then laughed loudly.
“How could those people vote for you?”
Diego nodded.
"Indeed, they won't do it on ordinary days, but I will use everything about the slums in our CA state as promotional materials and the most advantageous publicity stunt for this election. And I will discuss it privately with the leaders who control the neighborhoods. "
Diego's eyes looked hesitant, and Tommy continued.
"I have made detailed assessments and calculations in the past few days. If we can win the slums, we don't need too much money. If we want to make the same speeches as other factions to canvass votes, our investment will be very high, and It is also easy to be targeted by other factions.”
Diego hummed.
"It is true that our faction does not have much campaign funds now, and our vote rate is less than 10%. This is indeed useful, but the risk is too great. Although the problem of slums cannot be ignored, there were people who wanted to change the slums before. , although he got a lot of votes, it had the opposite effect in the end, and his opponents used it to accuse him of having an affair with gang members in the slums. "
Diego still thinks about the problem very comprehensively, Tommy also knows it, he said.
"If we show something positive, there won't be any problems, and now the ghetto has the best weapons at its disposal."
Diego laughed and shook his head.
"You'd better consider other aspects. This method still doesn't work."
Tommy shook his head.
"If we don't follow my strategy, this election will be like hitting an egg with an egg against a stone. There is a high probability that the money we spend will be in vain, and the people behind it will not be happy."
Diego shook his head. He still thought Tommy's idea was nonsense.
"We can't get anything by relying on those voters who are too poor to take the blame. They only need a little comfort to switch sides. So I think you are still immature with this idea."
Tommy stood up. He knew that if he could not convince Diego, he would be restrained. If the people in the faction were elected according to their ideas, their faction would never be able to climb up.
"Believe me, Brother Di, you also know that I have helped CA State take care of a lot of things over the years. Do you think I am incompetent?"
Tommy's words made Diego frown slightly.
"It's not that you lack ability, but that you lack experience because of the past."
"If past experience can determine the right direction, we don't need to argue. We can just sum up and come up with solutions based on past experience. But some shackles cannot be broken without giving it a try."
Diego fell into silence. He didn't know what to say to Tommy. He still felt that Tommy's plan would not work.
"Others have just said that what we need to do now is to stabilize the vote base in CA, and then start to expand towards the north, as much as possible."
"Useless Diego, if you really insist on asking me to listen to other people, then forget it. I don't have any confidence that I can stand out in an election like this that has failed countless times in the past."
Diego was stunned, anger appearing on his face.
"Are you threatening me? Tommy."
Tommy shook his head, and Diego also noticed that Tommy went to the slums and changed drastically after a few days. The Tommy who was obedient and always able to solve problems became a little different.
"Tommy, this is not a give-and-take. Please be sensible. We will be blamed if we fail."
"It's not you but me, Brother Di. If I fail, I will take all the blame."
Tommy's words were very firm, and Diego was hesitating at this time. On the one hand, he had to let Tommy take the blame, and on the other hand, he would be in big trouble if Tommy didn't succeed as governor.
Diego stood up and said.
"Let me make a few more calls."
After Diego left, Tommy had a scowl on his face. Once he succeeded in taking over, Tommy planned to kill all the old men in the faction. He would not leave them behind. The future of this country is not a group of old men. In command, young people with strategic vision are needed.
In Tommy's view, the United States has become more and more deformed and has reached an unbearable point. If it does not continue to be rectified, big problems will definitely arise, and the most likely possibility is the outbreak of war.
Conflicts among states have become more and more serious, especially energy companies, which are all hating each other, and friction with their once-obedient neighbor to the north is becoming increasingly serious.
If no one realizes all this, this country will fall into the worst situation, and everything will be even worse by then.
"how's it going?"
Diego came back half an hour later, his face serious.
"I can't convince anyone else, they all want you to listen to them."
"Listen to them?"
Tommy laughed, chuckling his drink in one gulp.
"Listen to a bunch of old men over 50 years old. Their means of dealing with things are always so-called past experience. Unfortunately, their experience is of no help to our entire faction."
"You are drunk Tommy. You can say some things in front of me, but please don't..."
Tommy took a step forward.
"What is the game of power? It is to form a faction, win over businessmen, and after having financial support, start to seek benefits for businessmen. But now in this country, there is no place for exploitation. Everyone has reached the limit, even a large amount of entertainment content has come to an end."
Digo laughed.
"I didn't expect you to think so much, but these things are actually meaningless, Tommy. We just need to get a stable seat in Congress and be able to interact with people from other factions in Congress."
"You don't understand anything, Dirk! This approach is indeed good when everything is still good, but if you take a good look at the situation in the supermarket, go to other stores and companies to see how people there work, and go to the slums to see how miserable they are, you will probably give up such an idea."
Dirk was silent, and he was a little shaken in his heart, first for his own path to power, and second to be able to throw everything to Tommy.
"Okay, I'll try my best."
Dirk picked up the phone for the third time and turned around and walked out of the room.
Tommy didn't intend for anyone to interfere with his plan. He knew very well that Gene's approach provided him with too many ideas, as well as the mysterious antidote formula left by Gene, all of which could be used.
Tommy had made up his mind to climb to the top. Only by climbing to the top could he decide everything, the fate of this country, and even the fate of all mankind.
Tommy has thought of many things. The reason why Gene told him this seems to be foreshadowing something. Tommy has thought very clearly these days. Such an opportunity is hard to come by.
"Mr. Gene, you will definitely succeed. Thank you!"
Tommy showed a brilliant smile. At this time, Digo walked in.
"They said that they would let you try to do part of it first. If it does not meet expectations, they will let you do it according to theirs."
Tommy smiled and shook Digo's hand.
"Believe me, I will become the president. The president of the United States."
Tommy was extremely confident at this moment, because he knew very well why the slums existed, and the meaning of its existence was in those narrow and dirty alleys. ()
