Chapter 578: 2 party battles
When Van der Linde helped the new planner take Micah and the others to hunt.
John from Blackwater Town was chatting with Senator Edwin at his home. The main question was about the influence of the temperance group's neurosis on him.
"This problem is not easy to solve. The real and effective number of votes is indeed a fatal attraction for politicians. But even politicians can't do exactly what they want, and if the person on stage is a friend we know well, Then the subsequent prohibition policy can have a big loophole."
"If we can attract enough workers, those workers who like to have a small gathering after work, and get them to support the opposite politicians, it should be able to prevent the promulgation of most alcohol prohibition policies." Edwin is obviously also interested in this alliance not much worry
But John is different. In his eyes, this group of people is stubborn, has clear goals, strong action, and there are so many people that they have faith~
damn it!
John's headache grew more and more.
"Well, sir, who will have a higher acceptance rate in this general election?" John thought for a while and asked about the situation of the general election.
"Ah~ It will take a later stage to confirm who is likely to win, but it is divided into two parties, the democratic party of the slave owners in the south and the republican party of the middle class in the north. What you have to face is The Republican Party's siege, the Republican Party is the most staunch ally of the Prohibition Alliance, and they also stand on the moral point of Christianity and Protestantism." Edwin continued to explain.
"Of course, the Republican Party does not regard you alone as an opponent, but basically all southern states and counties. The Prohibition League is just one of their organizations against the Southern Democratic Party. But this is the West, and the Democratic Party has a natural advantage. It means that a huge amount of food is needed as a basis, and this is also the key to your support from the Democratic Party. There is no way to ban alcohol in the West, at least not in Elizabeth State.”
"So don't look at how they promote their political ideas, but look at which party they are. To put it bluntly: If he is a Republican in the North, even if he admits that he will not impose any restrictions on your bootlegging after he is elected, You try not to believe it, or you lose the visible bootleg market."
"And if he is the Democratic Party, no matter how ruthless his propaganda is, even if he promotes that on the day of his election, he will organize the police to encircle and suppress your bandit leader. You don't have to be afraid, the food you bought in Heishui Town is so huge, even if They really have this intention and will not get rid of you before finding a second grain buyer, because you are not only the largest bootlegger in Yinlisha Baizhou, but also one of the largest grain buyers in Yinlisha Baizhou." Edwin He took a cup of warm tea and continued talking.
"Even if you don't pay taxes on the surface, you did buy nearly one-tenth of the grain around Heishui Town to make wine. Those farmers who bought grain from you have to pay taxes every month. They must take care of at this point."
"So as long as the Democratic Party is elected, even if my business is indeed affected, it doesn't matter much?" John suddenly realized.
"Almost, as long as the Democratic Party is elected, you can also discuss with the farmer you are cooperating with and write a joint opinion letter to the elected mayor, then there is a high probability that your thief collar and bootlegging market will not suffer much loss." Edwin Nod.
"Which party is our current mayor?" John then asked.
"Mayor? That guy is well-behaved, not very good. He was able to do it because the former director Leiter supported him. It's not because he is capable, but because he is willing to cooperate with the former director Leiter." Edwin shook his head and denied the mayor.
"There are still more than two months until the general election, and then you can just see who is more suitable~" Edwin signaled him to feel relieved.
"Then sir, who are you?" John asked tentatively.
"Republican~ But I'm not interested in governing, so I won't participate in these elections. I'm not interested in being a peacemaker for them." Mr. Edwin said that he only became a member of Congress because he could take care of his own business more or less, while Not because he is interested in governing.
"That's a pity~" John said sincerely, if Edwin was elected as the mayor of Heishui Town, then he would really be the one in Heishui Town.
"By the way, I heard from Hathaway that you came to see me for something today, and that's it?" Edwin asked gently, taking two puffs of his cigar.
"Ah~ It's another thing. I want to import some high-end alcoholic beverages in France and sell them to major cities such as Blackwater Town and Saint-Denis City, and see if there is any profit here~" John was very honest with Edwin.
"Ah~ So you want me to introduce some wine merchants to you? I can try to contact them, but the cost of transportation may be high. I'm not very interested in wine, so I don't have many friends in this regard." Because he is a Republican, and the serious businessman he developed in the United States does not touch the alcohol business, it is easy to understand.
"Well, sir, my confidant, Anna's father runs a wine estate in France, he knows many wine merchants, and some friends can help transport the wine to the port of Los Angeles, but I may not have one in Los Angeles Two partners, I think if the husband can help~" John said with some hesitation.
"Ah ~ Port of Los Angeles? Some of my friends are over there. I can ask them to find you a sufficient port warehouse to store those things. But the specific thing is that your people need to go there in person. The director of the port bureau over there also needs it. You go to contact yourself, I can provide some referrals and help, but it may not be much.” Edwin thinks this is not difficult to help~www.NovelMTL.com~ He tries not to touch this kind of business, but it doesn’t mean he doesn’t have this kind of business friends.
"Thank you very much, sir~ I just saw that there seems to be some vacancies in this field, so I want to do it and earn some hard money." John said with a smile.
"Understood, understood, but, I think you should try to buy some effective property for your business, these things are not decent after all." Edwin said gently.
"Well~ yes, I'm expanding too fast, and I still need the support of these gray industries. When it stabilizes, I will deal with the finishing touches, at least to make them seem to have nothing to do with me." John said yes again and again.
"Well, I also understand~ Many of your expansions are still stable. Since you know it well, I won't say much. Let's have lunch first. Hathaway and the others are back." Edwin looked up at the gate of the manor, and the three The beauty with her own beauty has indeed returned from shopping in Heishui Town.
John turned his head, and the three women walked towards the villa, talking and laughing beautifully.
And the butler signaled the servants to prepare to go to the kitchen to serve food when Mr. Edwin said lunch.
