The Devil Comes to America

Chapter 152 Heizi Speaks
When Xiong En came on stage, he naturally attracted cheers from a group of people.

Public speaking is actually a skill that is not very popular in the modern Internet era.

After all, even if you gather more people, how many can you achieve? Tens of thousands is the best, but on the Internet, what is the level of tens of thousands of clicks?
But speeches are necessary because the herd effect is too obvious in the human group.

Sometimes, you need extreme fans to be the leader for you.

The greater purpose of the speech is to let others see that you are still willing to use this ancient method to win votes and are willing to do these things for them.

The most important thing is that when someone speaks online, you may instinctively refute him, but if you are in person, you are likely to be instigated.

Moreover, speeches can allow people to see you more intuitively and decide whether to vote for you.

Even though the Internet is so developed now, these politicians will only choose one more place to speak out and will not give up this ancient way.

Because its effect cannot be compared with that through the screen.

After everyone cheered, Xiong En signaled that he was about to start, and the crowd quieted down.

Xiong En has already started his speech.

"Well, to be honest, this is my first speech, so I don't want to brag, because I know that the reason why you are here is definitely not to listen to a bragging from a little brat like me, right? Tell me, how many people are here to watch the fun?"

Laughter broke out immediately from below.

Xiong En continued, "See, I can tell from the laughter. But it doesn't matter, after all, I spent money, right? I let most people here feel what a free injection is! Tell me! Those who received the free injection tell me how it feels to not have to spend money!"

Many people below immediately cheered.

"Very good, I like your reaction, which at least proves that my money was not wasted. Thank you for being here. But I think you should thank me more. Remember my identity? A guy who was once arrested by the LAPD, so I happen to know the recent price of those hemp plants, to be honest."

"If this thing had been this expensive when I was in school, I definitely wouldn't have been arrested by the LAPD."

"I mean, even a rich man like me can't stand the damn price! They're going too far!"

This finally resonated with this group of people.

Not all the people who come here are there to get a bargain; most of them really can't afford it anymore.

Xiong En continued, "But what is the reason for this price? I believe you have all seen the news online recently. That's right. It's because of drug enforcement."

"Maybe my words in the previous TV interview provoked the DEA. I apologize to the DEA for this. I shouldn't have said that the more they crack down on drugs, the more drug dealers and contraband there are in our country, because now they have shown me with their actual actions that they can really reduce the amount of contraband."

"Although, the price is that a five-dollar item becomes thirty dollars. The price has increased sixfold. I believe that it may cost fifty dollars before long."

"Of course, I'm not saying this to say that the DEA is doing a bad job. In fact, they're doing a great job! How many families have been harmed by those damn drug dealers? How many people have been harmed in their fight for the market? How many law-abiding citizens have been driven to crime by their use of contraband, and have either died on the streets or been thrown into prison!"

"I couldn't be more supportive of the DEA's recent actions, well done!"

Some people in the crowd were immediately dissatisfied, and someone shouted, "Hey, Xiong En, we are not here to listen to you lick the DEA's ass!"

Xiong En changed the subject: "But they should have done it sooner! Instead of waiting until there are so many poor people in Los Angeles!"

"Does it sound familiar to you? This is very similar to what politicians do. After they decide on something, they don't consider the consequences at all. They don't consider the impact it will have, and they don't consider the lives of those who are troubled by it! They just need to get rid of a bad thing in a snap. They think they have done a good thing and will brag about it."

"There are too many homeless people in the park, which affects the mood of taxpayers and threatens their safety. Instead of considering how to stop these people from wandering, they expel them. You see, the problem is solved, right? But has anyone considered what to do with the homeless people?"

"They let in those refugees at the border because they need help. How great! But what happens after that? They don't issue them identities or work permits. These illegal immigrants can't even work. Have they considered this? No! Some of these people have become homeless, some have become criminals, and some have become consumables in those damn laboratories. Have they ever taken care of this?"

"The DEA is cracking down on drug dealers and busting their lairs one by one. What a great thing! But what about those people who are tortured by contraband? In my opinion, withdrawal reactions are just like mental illness. People cannot control themselves from becoming robbers. They are not even willing to build a few more public drug rehabilitation centers before doing this! Even a little brat like me can think of this, can't the people in the city government and the parliament think of it? Tell me! Can't they think of it!"

The crowd, who had been incited by the previous examples, would not miss the opportunity to shout "No!!" when they heard that it was all the government's fault.

As for how fucked up the statement that you can't control yourself and become a robber is, no one cares anymore.

Because this is all the government's fault, not yours!

"It was at this time that I knew I had to do something." Xiong En took a deep breath and said, "So, I will pay for you. I can tell you frankly that this is not because I pity you, nor because I want to take any responsibility, but because I need your votes!"

"I want to ask you all! You vote for me and I pay for your consumption. Do you accept this naked trade?" Everyone was stunned at first. This statement was too explosive.

At least no candidate has ever dared to say it so bluntly, even if he thought so.

But he is so sincere!
"Of course I am willing to be your friend!" someone shouted!

Then, a group of people started shouting.

But to their surprise, Xiong En just started to curse: "A bunch of idiots!"

Everyone who listened to the speech was stunned. It was the first time I heard a candidate scold the voters.

are you crazy?
But he must have something else to say, right?

"You gave me your votes, it shouldn't be this damn deal I made with you guys! It should be that you feel that I can help you! This is right."

"But why did things become like this?" Xiong En's voice was full of sarcasm: "Because this should have been a transaction, but there are so many damn profiteers and politicians who won't do anything even if they are paid! They took your votes, but they don't do anything for you! Instead, they think about how to make money for themselves!"

"But I'm different. Everything I did today is to tell you that I'm serious about free contraband! I was willing to spend money on you during the election, and I will still do so if I'm elected!"

"I think everyone can see that I am not short of money. Yes, I am really not short of money. So you don't have to worry that I will go along with those bugs in Los Angeles, because they can't be richer than me, right?"

The scene immediately erupted into warm laughter.

"Those politicians treat you like garbage. They don't consider what will happen to you when they do anything. I want to tell them now! Even if you are garbage, as long as there are enough of you, you can crush these bastards who give orders without thinking!"

"But before that, I still have something to say."

Xiong En looked solemn and said slowly, "I believe everyone has seen how many people are in front of the injection site. Many people can't even wait in line, just like my power is limited. Even though I have money, I am just an ordinary person. I only have one brain, and there are many things I can't do."

Those who were following the event through live media broadcasts have already started to mock it.

"Look, he spoke so righteously, but now he starts crying miserably. This guy must be hurting and is starting to make excuses for not paying later."

"But at least they paid before."

"You have to pay for advertising. The money he's spent these days, do you know how much it costs to get an ad with this kind of popularity? This guy is the one making the money, don't be silly kid."

Those watching the live broadcast noticed something was wrong, and people at the scene naturally noticed it as well.

They looked at each other in confusion, because they also realized that the free injections would probably be gone.

Xiong En's expression said it all.

And Xiong En continued: "So, I have to make a decision."

There was unspeakable disappointment in the eyes of the crowd. They even thought that if Xiong En had not made those passionate speeches before, they would not be so disappointed.

He is indeed just a child.

However, Xiong En's next words were: "I've decided that I won't come. I don't want to be stuck here every day. I have more important things to do! So, I will open another payment point!! My people will stand there and use my money to pay for you!! "

There was a brief silence at first, and then there were excited cheers!!

What is a reversal? What is first suppressing and then promoting? This set of things is played out clearly for Xiong En.

The cheers from the audience were so loud that even Xiong En couldn’t suppress them by waving his hands several times.

This is even more true on the Internet, where countless people were typing frantically when this reversal occurred.

They may not necessarily support Xiong En, but they definitely want to slap the faces of those who boasted before.

There is too much content, but after summarizing and translating it, it can be expressed clearly in one easy-to-understand sentence.

"Heizi speak!"
