The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 331
Ocean Park Avenue, Twitter Building.
A thick layer of gray fell on the windows of the conference room, blocking the sunlight outside.
Hawke sat in a chair with Chief of Staff Andy Card, watching Caroline sign a publicity contract with the campaign deputy manager.
The two women exchanged contracts, shook hands with each other, and took photos together.
Andy Card said: “This afternoon, the first promotional fee will be transferred to Twitter account. From the next week, Twitter can promote publicity in an orderly manner according to the plan.”
The advertising fee is as high as $35 million. Hawke showed the attitude he should have when facing major customers and said, “We will fully cooperate with you.”
The two sides officially signed a contract, and Andy Card and several others were going to Fox TV to say goodbye and leave.
Hawke kept sending them downstairs.
Caroline slapped his hands in front of him, slapped the burning ashes flying over, and asked Hawke: “They are all laymen on the Internet, especially on social media publicity, and the plans they have made are not very good.”
“This is the customer’s request, and it is done according to their plan, and it involves the election, and we have no experience.”
Caroline quickly reached over and patted Hawke off the gray on his shoulder, saying, “I understand.”
She looked up at the sky and said, “The fire has not yet been extinguished.”
“In a few days, the fire will naturally stop when the blocks separated are gone.”
The two walked back.
When he arrived at the elevator, there was no one else, Caroline whispered: “Does politicians and capitalists care about ordinary people?”
“If you can’t generate value, you won’t care.” Hawke said casually: “What can generate value depends on the gains and losses of interests.”
He glanced at the increasingly mature sheep: “You will soon become a female capitalist.”
Taking the elevator upstairs, coming out of the elevator, and seeing thick smoke rising from the distance through the window, Caroline couldn’t help but sigh: “It’s really hellish Los Angeles.”
In the afternoon of the same day, Twitter received a $20 million upfront payment from the re-election campaign office.
Hawke has always been concerned about collecting money and doing things. He immediately asked Caroline to draw capable personnel and set up a special office team to connect with Washington.
Brian also called and after the signing of the removal application was submitted to the state legislature, the state legislature launched the removal election as quickly as possible, under the promotion of several lawmakers.
There are too many people who have suffered losses in this fire.
Everyone wants Antonio to give an explanation.
According to normal procedures, Brian, the campaigner, won the recall election and will take over as mayor of Los Angeles.
If it fails, the mayor’s throne still belongs to Antonio.
The removal election will be completed normally, and it will be a month later. By then, the fire in Los Angeles will be extinguished and the water will be attracted.
The Los Angeles City Council is launching a review process to reassess the legitimacy of the Wandefort Water Supplement Agreement signed by Antonio.
The District Attorney’s Office, including the Chief Prosecutor, has a total of four prosecutors whose properties have been burned in the fire.
These people cannot shake the interest groups led by Stuttgart Resnick, but they can find loopholes and dismantle some agreements.
With the huge pressure under pressure, Antonio not only loses his position, but also faces the risk of investigation.
Not only Los Angeles, but also the donkey party’s momentum was greatly affected in the game in Sacramento.
In recent years, the environmentalism and feminism it advocates have become the main reason for the out-of-control fire in Los Angeles.
Hawke got the news that the person in the Oval Office temporarily increased his trip to California and planned to come to Los Angeles to comfort the victims after the fire was completely extinguished.
More than a decade has passed since California changed from red to blue in the early and mid-1990s, and elephants have seen another opportunity for color change.
There have been too many cases of blue turning red and red turning blue in history.
The colors of the map in the American election are often reversed.
Things like politics have never been static.
Hawke is also taking advantage of the situation to stir up the top and bottom, making this good show in America more exciting and making profits from it.
As time and society develop, the conflict between the two parties will become more and more serious, and the direct consequence will be the division of American society.
…
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Los Angeles.
Located in the business reception room on the top floor, the forty-year-old female prosecutor Kamara looked at Antonio opposite him with a black face extremely serious.
Commissioned by important donkey party figures in San Francisco and Sacramento, she came to meet Antonio.
Kamala said, “Do you have anything to say?”
On the surface, Antonio is still confident: “The outcome of the recall election is unknown. As long as you support me, I can still fight. Although statistically speaking, my support rate has dropped significantly, the people are all fence-bearers. As long as they catch the pain points of their opponents, their attention will be quickly diverted.”
He stressed: “The female group, Mexican, my two basic bases are still there!” Kamala shook her head: “The capital has been caught in a fierce battle, and we have been caught by our opponents, especially in the parliament, where several members of the parliament had to resign… These are all chain reactions of the Los Angeles incident.”
Antonio argued: “This is a natural disaster. Even if anyone else sits in my position, can there be a way? Environmental protection and feminism are one of our basic platforms in California. Do you give up if you don’t strengthen your advantages? The weather factors are completely uncontrollable. Under the strong wind of 50 miles, even if the fire equipment is sufficient and the fire is not short of water, can the fire be controlled?”
Not only him, including Kamala and the top executives in California, did not think that they had done anything wrong.
They lost not to the elephant, but to the climate.
But when things have developed to this point, stopping the decline is the most critical. Kamala came here this time and the heavy responsibility is on: “The key to the problem is not the process, but the result. The result is that we lost, which seriously affects reputation and credibility. The fire, including the smoke, affected tens of millions of people, and the media’s almost crazy smearing reports, now our basic market is shaking.”
Her black face always had a look: “Now, there needs to be someone to take on all this, ending the criticism of the media and public opinion, and you are the best choice.”
This was not what Antonio expected: “Sacrifice me and restore the decline of the party?”
Kamara said, “There will always be someone to sacrifice.”
Antonio closed his eyes, but did not respond. After a while, he was silent, and asked directly, “It’s just that?”
Kamala was given several conditions when she came: “The Southern California branch of Pacific Electric needs an executive, your wife who works for Disney Productions, will become one of the two live-action film managers for over $50 million.”
The conditions are pretty good, Antonio thought about it.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
But Kamara’s words were not finished: “These will be waited until the incident subsides.”
Antonio didn’t reply.
Kamala took the initiative to add: “You and I are both minorities and have their own advantages, but more of them are inherent weaknesses.”
“Thank you.” Antonio understood that some **** didn’t spit their bones.
Kamala sent him away: “You think about it carefully and give me an answer as soon as possible.”
Antonio did not leave, sat on the sofa and repeatedly considered the possible choices. After a while, he said, “Tell them, I agree.”
Kamara said, “A wise choice.”
After saying that, Antonio felt relieved inexplicably, got up and went to the window on the north side of the hotel, looking to the north.
Unfortunately, the sky in Los Angeles was full of ashes, and he could only see the sky flying ashes.
“Let’s go.” Antonio turned around and walked out of the room, got out of the car and left.
Halfway through, he asked assistant Gordon to contact Brian: “I want to have a face-to-face conversation with this bastard.”
Gordon immediately contacted Brian through the other party’s campaign manager.
The two agreed to meet at the Beverly Business Club tomorrow morning.
That night, Brian came to Silver Lake Villa and came to find Hawke.
Erica prepared the agave in advance, poured a glass for each of them, and sat next to Hawk and pricked her ears.
Recently, LAPD has become a dog, thanks to these two people.
Brian took a sip of wine and said to Hawke, “Antonio asked me to meet tomorrow morning.”
Hawke said: “Are he going to take the initiative to give in and then use this as a condition to exchange for your promise?”
Brian nodded: “It should be so. There is a situation in Los Angeles now. The fire is only part of the cause. There must be a series of problems in its account budget.”
Erica interjected: “The last time this situation was, was it because of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s ruling election that his ex-Davis voluntarily resigned.”
Brian said: “That time, they caught their handle through the Venice Beach Club, and they could only take a step back. Schwarzenegger was not clean, so he chose to compromise after achieving his goal.”
He looked at Hawke: “I’m facing a similar situation, too.”
“No, you have a different situation from Schwarzenegger. No matter how much Schwarzenegger does, he can only go to the position of governor, and it is impossible to run for president.” Hawke said while thinking: “And our ultimate goal is the Oval Office.”
Brian said, “You really have confidence in me.”
Hawke ignored this sentence and continued: “The situation you face is completely different from Schwarzenegger. He was just a governor’s recall election at that time. This time, the mayor’s recall election for Los Angeles is directly related to the situation of the general election in Los Angeles. It is not just you, but also the color choices of the entire California.”
Behind these high-sounding words is Hawke’s private purpose, he wants to make the two parties fight to the death.
If things settle, the matter of the Ackerman family will be troublesome to deal with.
Brian was thinking too.
From any perspective, this political battle is not time to calm down.
Hawke thought for a while and said, “Consult Paul.”
Brian, on the safe side, called Paul Ferguson and got the same answer as Hawke.
Hawke borrowed the donkeys’ basic foundation to create such a great situation.
How could an elephant with a little ambition turn a blind eye? (End of this chapter)
