Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 681 The Davis Family, Cooperation (Two in One)

Among the top leaders of the Xiang Party.

Lin Baicheng's current relationship is relatively good, or both parties are interested in in-depth cooperation to become "friends", there are three people in total, two of which are Reagan and Bush Sr.

The other is also a political family from Texas, but the other party is not in Houston, but in Austin, the capital of Texas.

It was after ten o'clock in the morning when Lin Baicheng left the Bush Manor. After he left, he contacted Austin and took a special car there.

The distance between Austin and Houston is not too far, but it takes about two hours by car, so Lin Baicheng didn't arrive in Austin until around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Lin Baicheng made an appointment to visit at two o'clock in the afternoon, so he went to Davis Manor after having lunch.

Anthony Davis, nearly 50 years old, a state senator from Texas and a representative of the Davis family.

The Davis family is the top political family in Texas. This family has produced two state legislators, one congressman, three judges, and two ambassadors. They have strong connections in Texas and the judiciary. connections.

It is said that the ancestors of the Davis family and the Bush family were married, and the two are potential political partners.

The Davis family has strong political connections, but it is a bit weaker in terms of capital. Although there are some capitals for cooperation, they are not the kind of big capital that can look at the whole country. Gives powerful help when competing for higher positions.

Therefore, when Lin Baicheng got in touch with Xiangdang and started looking for a partner, he fell into the eyes of Anthony Davis. When both parties wanted to make friends, they quickly formed a good friendship and became "friends".

Of course, Lin Baicheng, an outsider, does not know about state-level political families like the Davis family, and he would not pay attention to political families in other countries before his rebirth, unless it is super famous political families such as Kennedy, Bush, and Roosevelt. almost.

Although the Davis family has produced several congressmen, judges, and ambassadors, in terms of strength, it is now stronger than the Bush family, but this family has never produced a president, so its reputation will naturally be much worse.

However, Lin Baicheng didn't know about the Davis family before, and after the two parties got in touch, after he asked people to investigate, he knew that the Davis family was a powerful Xiangdang political family, and it was worth his attention to make friends with.

"Allen, welcome to Davis Manor!" "Long time no see, Davis!"

Anthony Davis came to the door to pick up Lin Baicheng with dignity, and the two shook hands.

Lin Baicheng followed Anthony Davis into the manor. Anthony Davis' family was also in the manor. Lin Baicheng met his wife and two daughters under his introduction. As for the two sons, they were not in Austin.

After getting to know each other and chatting for a while, Mrs. Davis took her two daughters and left, leaving space for the two of them.

Anthony Davis said to Lin Baicheng: "Allen, this year is a general election year. I want to fight for members of Congress. I need the support of you and other friends." He is only a state congressman now, but he wants to take advantage of this year's general election to go further Become an MP.

The term of office of members of Congress is a total of six years, but they run for election every two years during the term of office. The term of office of members is six years.

Therefore, even if you are elected as a member of Congress, you cannot lose the support of all parties. Everyone wants their term of office to be six years, not two years.

Lin Baicheng heard the words: "Davis, this is what we agreed, I will give you the greatest support, and when I need it, you will give me back."

"This is what it should be, everyone helps each other."

Anthony Davis put a smile on his face, which is exactly what he wanted.As for the reward, it must be necessary. After all, this is a rule, and no one can violate it, even the Davis family.

"Here, I would like to wish you in advance that you get your wish and be elected as a member of Congress."

If Anthony Davis is elected as a member of Congress, it will also be beneficial to Lin Baicheng. The higher the status of Anthony Davis, the more help Lin Baicheng can give when he needs help.

"Thank you!"

But all politicians have political ambitions, and Anthony Davis is no exception.He has even thought about it. He is elected as a member of Congress in this general election. It is best to serve for a term of six years, at least four years. The president launches into a sprint.

If all goes well, Anthony Davis can participate in the presidential election when he is around 60 years old. He has been a member of Congress and a governor at that time, and he has won the support of all parties during his tenure.

"Alan, your relationship with Bush and Reagan has always been very good. Reagan is now one of the party's presidential candidates and is likely to run for president this year. Do you support Reagan or others?"

"That depends on whether Reagan needs the support of my friend. If he needs it, I have no reason not to support my friend."

Lin Baicheng knew that Reagan became president before his rebirth and was re-elected successfully, so he must support Reagan, but this kind of thing should not be his initiative, but Reagan himself should seek his support, which is related to an initiative The problem.

If Lin Baicheng took the initiative to help Reagan regardless of the cost, he might be taken for granted by Reagan, and even if he gave back, there would be limited rewards; on the contrary, it was Reagan who sought his support, and Lin Baicheng agreed to help, and he would definitely get more rewards later.

The most fundamental reason is that Reagan himself did not know that he would win the election, so he needed the support of everyone, and every supporter was very important to him, especially the support of powerful capital.

Every presidential election is actually a capital game. The more capital you get, the higher the possibility of winning. No one dares to neglect.

Because once you successfully run for president, the supporters will be rewarded during the president's tenure; on the contrary, if the election fails, the loser will not be able to give capital returns at all, and the resources and money paid by capital will be lost in vain. Will therefore be abandoned by capital.

"Reagan will certainly enlist your support, Allen."

Anthony Davis immediately said that he did not believe that Reagan would foolishly give up a capital that supported him. Reagan now wished that the more capital that supported him, the better, especially at this stage when the party's presidential candidate has not yet been determined .

In the current pre-election stage, the party's presidential candidate is decided, who will run for president against the donkey party.

At this stage, the party's presidential candidates compare with who has more supporters.There are many aspects to compare, such as the number of supporters at the top of the party, whose supporters have more and stronger capital strength, who has more popular support, and so on.

The Elephant Party wants to elect a candidate who is more likely to become the president. Only in this way can the Elephant Party be in power and the entire party benefit. Therefore, the top leaders of the Elephant Party usually support whoever is stronger.

"Whether it will happen or not, we will know after we meet at the party tonight."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile that tonight he held a party and invited some friends from Xiangdang. Of course Reagan was also invited, and Reagan also made it clear that he would attend, so he set a time.

If the Bushes represent the future, then Reagan represents the present. Lin Baicheng feels that the changes brought about by his rebirth should not affect the US presidential election, and Reagan should still be able to win the election without accident.

If Reagan becomes president and Lin Baicheng becomes an important supporter of Reagan, then in the next eight years, Lin Baicheng's interests in the United States will be favorably guaranteed, so he currently attaches more importance to Reagan and supports Reagan the most.

Later, during the conversation between the two, Lin Baicheng mentioned that he was going to set up a charity fund, and said that he could give the Davis family a place, and let the Davis family become one of the heads of the fund.

To set up a charitable fund, Lin Baicheng wanted to do some good deeds, and he also wanted to make good friends with some people through the charitable fund. It is impossible for charitable fund resources to be left unused.

After hearing about Lin Baicheng's arrangement for the charity fund, Anthony Davis certainly saw the benefits and asked for a place. However, he did not recommend his son to be the person in charge, but recommended one of his nephews.

It’s not that Anthony Davis doesn’t want to recommend his son. Of course, he gives priority to using this kind of resources to his son who is closer to him, but the younger son is still in college, and the older son has come out to do things, but he is not capable enough. He can’t let the older son waste it. This kind of high-quality resources can't make the eldest son lose face among his supporters.

If the eldest son messes up with his supporters and loses face, it will not be so easy for the eldest son to get the support of Lin Baicheng's capital in the future. Therefore, for the sake of the future, some things cannot be forced.

At almost three o'clock, Lin Baicheng and Anthony Davis took people away from the Davis Manor and headed for Houston.

At 05:30, Lin Baicheng's car drove into the manor on the outskirts of Houston, where tonight's party was held.

Anthony Davis did not go to the manor with Lin Baicheng, because the party was held at : pm. He said he was going to visit the Bush manor and go to the party with Bush at that time.

Although Anthony Davis visited unexpectedly, the Bush family still welcomed his arrival.

"Barbara, long time no see. The last time we met was when Walker's child was born."

The marriage between the Davis family and the Bush family is already a matter of the older generation. Anthony Davis and Bush Sr. have cooperated politically, and the two families have also moved around in private, but not very frequently.

"Yes, Anthony is welcome to come to Bush's house as a guest."

"Davis, our two families should walk around more."

"Bush, you are right. You should move around more."

The strength difference between the Davis family and the Bush family is not very big, and both of them are going to high positions. Therefore, it is beneficial for both families to move around more and deepen their ties.

Anthony Davis didn't stay at the Bush's house for a long time, and he left the manor together with Bush Sr. and his son at about 06:30.

That's right, Bush Sr. brought Bush Jr. to the party. Tonight's party has quite a few high-ranking members of the Elephant Party. Of course, he will take his son there to get acquainted and leave an impression in front of the bigwigs.

When the two cars drove to the suburban manor, Bush Sr. got into his car at the invitation of Anthony Davis.

The car is driving on the road.

Anthony Davis said to Bush Sr.: "Bush, have you met Allen?"

"He came to see me in the morning and we chatted for a while."

This is not a confidential matter, and Bush Sr. did not hide it.

Anthony Davis didn't feel anything when he heard the words. He said, "Alan told me that he was going to set up a charity fund. He should have mentioned this to you, right?"

"That said, he made Walker one of the heads of the charity fund, and I asked Jeb to join in."

Bush knew that Lin Baicheng must have invited someone from the Davis family to become one of the heads of the charity fund. He was not surprised by this. He even guessed that Lin Baicheng would use the charity fund to make friends with other people, such as Reagan.

"It seems that I will be less."

Anthony Davis made a joke, and then said: "Bush, some resources are limited. I think it is necessary for our two families to advance and retreat together in some matters. This is good for us, what do you think?" Although he He didn't say anything, but he believed that Bush Sr. could understand him.

"Of course, it's good for both of us."

Bush Sr. just pondered for a while, then responded with a smile.The ancestors of the Bush family and the Davis family are related by marriage after all, and the two have a basis for cooperation, so there is no need to worry about being easily betrayed by the other party.

Furthermore, it is only a certain degree of cooperation, not in-depth cooperation, so there is no need to think so much.

"Then it's settled."

Anthony Davis knew that Bush Sr. should have similar ideas with him, that is to absorb more resources from Lin Baicheng, a foreigner, to contribute to the development of himself and his family.

In their view, Lin Baicheng, a foreigner, needs political support to do business in the United States, and his identity determines that he cannot easily leave the Elephant Party and switch to the Donkey Party, so the elephant party officials can absorb resources from this big capitalist, Used as a fuel for self-development.

Of course, they are not set on Lin Baicheng. After all, even if Lin Baicheng can only choose Xiangdang, Xiangdang is divided into many factions. Even within the same faction, there is competition, let alone competition between different factions.

When Lin Baicheng needs to repay, they will definitely repay accordingly. After all, this is the rule of the game. They dare not and do not want to break the rules of the game. After all, they are the ones with vested interests.

However, Lin Baicheng is not a capitalist in his country after all. If their intake of capitalists in their own country is 1 and their return is 5, then their intake of Lin Baicheng is 2 or 3.

When facing Lin Baicheng, their appetite was even bigger and they wanted more.

Regarding these, Lin Baicheng actually has some guesses, but there is no way. After all, he is not based on the capital of the United States, he is not an American, and his skin color is not even white. He can only make compromises, unless he does not want to make money in the United States, and does not want to spend more. umbrella.
