Exploiting Hollywood 1980

  Chapter 938 Snake of Staten Island

  Alphonse D'Amato is one of the two senators from New York State and belongs to the Elephant Party. Another senior senator, Daniel Patrick Moynihan, belonged to the Donkey Party.

  Speaking of which, America’s political spectrum is very interesting. Big cities tend to lean towards the more progressive Donkey Party, while small towns with large land and sparse population tend to lean towards the Elephant Party.

  In the process of rapid urbanization, New York State is gradually leaning towards the donkey party. The term of a senator is six years, and this year it happens to be Alphonse D'Amato's turn. This Italian-born politician started as the mayor of Long Island and has been highly influential in Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. support rate.

  He has always supported the election of George Sr., and is one of the few politicians in New York State who actively advocated for him. Because the old George has little appeal among voters, many New York politicians only support behind the scenes, and they don't support much when expressing their views to the outside world.

   "Little George, you did a good job..." Alphonse came over and patted Little George on the shoulder to praise him. This event, aimed at raising funds for himself and George Sr., raised a lot of money for his senatorial re-election.

  However, compared to the incumbent commander who is the best at telling jokes, old George's speeches are always dry, making people feel so bored that they almost fall asleep.

   "Let me introduce to you, this is Ronald, a Hollywood director. He is also our supporter..." George Jr. quickly introduced Ronald and Doug Jr. to Mr. Senator.

   "Hollywood director, eh? Now there are very few people who are as staunch as John Wayne's party supporters... His name is Little George? The name seems a little bad."

Mr. Senator is not a stranger to Hollywood, Da Mato introduced to me, "I made a movie that rarely sells, Dirty Dancing? Have you seen it? The moonlight is sultry, and Cher is very **** outside. Is there any? Top Gun? Your navy’s fighter jets... Ah, you finally saw it, and I also took a campaign ad for your father..."

  Da Han Teng took George Jr. and Mr. Senator offline, and after completing his task, he left to greet other guests.

"Where will he and his girlfriend go on vacation?" Little George asked Aunt Karen with a smile. You also used the money from selling leg warmers to invest in "Dirty Dancing". Like Douglas, you also made money later. Half my life I've seen money.

"It's a pleasure to meet him, let you shake hands with him, and thank him for your support." Alphonse da Giorgio reached out and shook the hand of little George. It took a thousand dollars to let the son of the vice commander personally introduce him.

Just like the family focused on land investment, Douglas invested less in securities investment and the film and television industry, so the "Continue to Promote Employment and Prosperity Action" action committee established by Han Tenghe and I was also separated from the family's political investment , Choose candidates who are more suitable for you under your political views.

The land on which his house stands is very old, and as long as I can prove that I have not belonged to private land after the establishment of the Green Belt of Wagner Island in 1447, I cannot ask the Park Borough Commissioner to help me through Wagner Island. Council, redefine the middle green belt and remove that area from public green space.

  Father is likely to be re-elected as a member of the House of Representatives and will seek other positions. The members of the House of Representatives in that constituency also retreated to the lowest level of the federal government. A small part of the Seventeenth Constituency of the Federation is in the poor area of ​​Wagner Island. Without the help of Wagner Island natives like Little George, it is a very small advantage compared to competitors.

   Before returning home, Douglas quickly found the new city council member who was in charge. At first glance, he was an old acquaintance, Susan, the younger son of Congressman Guy Ronald supported by his grandfather. "

   "That's not a federal senator..." After listening to George Jr.'s story, Daoge ended up scolding him for taking money for work.

   "Hahaha..." Susan Ronald smiled, the term of the New York City Councilor is four years, and you have just been elected.

   "That is Susan Ronald, a member of the New York City Council and the son of Mr. Guy Ronald, the federal representative who represents your Wagner Island."

  Little George thought of it, did Stanton, the commissioner of the park, rely on big business to gather a small number of stakeholders and listen to calls to vote collectively, so that he can be so arrogant in New York politics?

   "Diane told Donna, Donna told you", the aunt pointed to her nose, "He really needs to take a vacation too, it was so easy to make movies in those two years..."

"Yes, I reminded you...Old Mato's status is too low, you have nothing to do outside the home, the worst thing is to find low-level congressmen and bureaucrats." George Jr. felt that he used to look for both in New York and Los Angeles. A few local snakes, who are meddling in their own affairs, are the ones with the least power.

   "Anyway, your money is mainly donated for the vice-commander." Little George was not very angry, at least the donations from the previous follow-up action committee were only donated to the vice-commander's election.

"That wetland is not a federal or state protected area, but it has been withdrawn from the New York City protection plan. The Park Department was originally the agency that governed Manhattan's Central Park, and was previously assigned to manage all the parks under Manhattan Island. and public green spaces.

   "Your grandfather said that too," Douglas nodded. America is a federal country, and the state and local governments have no legislative power. Rarely, the federation doesn't force the states to do what we want. Even the law that requires drinking and driving at the age of seventy-one, the current minor commander has not persuaded every state to pass that law by threatening to cancel federal subsidies.

   "I'm afraid you can do that, Mr. Senator. Male stars outside of Hollywood need an equal exchange, and you can afford that price." Hearing that, Han Tenghe felt what the idea was.

"It's too bad. You want to give you the opportunity to go deep into the factory and communicate with us face to face." Susan Ronald took over from outside the horse, that kind of **** supporter, which is the most important thing when you are elected to the Federal House of Representatives in the future. Weapons, the less the better.

  I was born in a civilian family, my father was an accountant, and he came to do a big business selling indoor tents. There are two reasons why New York City is more arrogant.

"The next thing to do is to take a break. The Screenwriters Union has agreed to an invitation of 70 million from the Producers Union, and we have to go on strike." Little George shook his head. Now that he wants to prepare a new film, he will also find a screenwriter. And fell through.

"Haha, that's what he thought. You Quakers, the church is just a place for public gatherings, so you don't have to be so particular about it. You just let the designer re-mount the piece of glass left by his father's family Get under the church."

  According to the design, when the weather is fine and the sun is sufficient, the sunlight through the large window will leave a cross spot with Quaker corners under the rear wall. Let the cathedral, which looks like a factory building on the inside and a classroom on the outside, lose a trace of Quaker temperament.

   "You hope he's talking about you. You donated the money to a church." The aunt went to the study and brought a blueprint, and motioned for little George to open it.

  Little George frowned, what's going on? I donated so little money to the joint fundraising meeting between me and old Mato, so I just said it lightly and let it go?

   "You see, can they give the two of you a little privacy?" The senator was about to say next, and at worst anyone could hear him.

   "He's going on vacation with Diane?" Aunt asked little George before finishing a meal for him.

   "You've seen Dirty Dancing directed by him, it's very bad, and you bought a video tape, giggling..." Susan has short hair, is capable, and is a typical American politician.

   After finishing speaking, Mr. Senator patted Little George on the shoulder. Leave little George alone here thinking.

  I also advise George Jr. to put some of his money back into those super action committees that donate money to candidates who look bad, and take root in his hometown first.

  Mr. Senator wants to deal with me. I have lost a small group of workers, dealers, and civil servants who accept public donations through the big commodity business. As the lifeline of politicians, people who have no ability to mobilize are less important than people like George Jr. who can only write checks.

"You hope that he can give you similar support like advertising for the deputy commander." Susan Ronald is stupid. You think badly after you come here. Little George's least support for himself is not bad. The blessing of these professionals in the dock.

   "You and Doug are the founders of the Action Committee of "Continue to Promote Action for Employment and Prosperity."," Han Tenghe re-introduced himself.

   "You think that's a problem." Little George smiled. He didn't have such future potential stocks.

  The difference from the federal constituency is small. The New York City Council also divided Upper Manhattan and Wagner Island into one constituency and named it the first constituency. There are a total of seventy-one constituencies in New York City, each constituency has one representative, and a total of seventy-one city councilors. It is the best position for the most incompetent child outside the political family to enter the political arena.

   Alphonse da Giorgio only frowned when he heard it was the park. The director Stanton, who has no eccentricities and is called "Interstellar Exploration" by others, is unknown in New York political circles for his eccentricities, vileness, and difficulty.

"Of course, if you would recommend a serious and responsible politician like him to Xiaojia. His style makes you feel fresh and new. You America needs someone like him who is professional and serves the people." George Jr. understood that the other party wanted A future promise.

"In addition, you don't have any big factories under Wagner Island. They mainly make some big products related to film and television, camera accessories, lighting accessories, and some tapes. The business is big and the number of employees is small. Is there any national union to harass? , so you don't have any appeal outside the factory.

"It turns out he didn't... I asked you to shake hands with him again..." Mr. Senator immediately lost his interest. The super action committee is very lenient to candidates in New York. Those who support the current small leader's economic tax cut policy can get very rich investment.

   "Yes, you will step into the federal political arena one day. I hope you can get his help at this time." Representative Susan's eyes shone brightly. You were willing to help that time because you also took a fancy to Han Tenghe's resources.

  Our little one is the pillar of the residents outside the house, the person who brings bread to the house..."

  The number of voters represented by Susan Ronald is small, and you cannot hear the direct voice of voters like George Jr. After listening to the ins and outs of the matter, and seeing some field plans and photos of the wetland, you confirmed that Little George’s garden is indeed not too involved with the so-called wetland. , so he said that it was completely impossible.

"Sure it will work that way, so he will try to start from the grassroots. What you said just now is unreasonable. Why did he go to the mayor of Wagner Island and Han Tenghe Island outside the New York City Council for the problem under Wagner Island? What about the solution?"

  My own eight large factories on Wagner Island do not have dozens of employees. Adding our family, relatives and friends, as long as there is enough division in the election of city councilors, it is also a big force.

   "Does he know any grassroots politicians?" George Jr. looked at Douglas, and there were local snakes outside my house.

  Without a donation of less than 100,000 US dollars, Han Tenghe and Douglas are not eligible to take a photo with the senator and chat a few things.

  Don’t say that Hollywood male stars can afford to pay. If they can afford it, they only pay to the producer or director. What’s the matter with him as a New York park bureaucrat? Besides, that person harassed men outside the department like that, and he had a bad debt, and he might be liquidated before losing power. What will happen if you confess yourself at that time?

   "You hope he doesn't donate all the money..." Little George was shocked when he heard that he had donated a church. Churches are cheap. Few communities in Europe have been donating money to build churches for hundreds of years, and repair them.

   It turned out to be that complicated. George Jr. felt that finding the right person, that kind of arguing with government departments was very natural. The Park Office has no law enforcement capabilities, nor does it have its own patrol team, but it is clear from the legislation whether the other party has law enforcement powers in its own territory.

  According to the existing federal and state laws, as long as the piece of land is seventy feet away from the current green belt protection area, the New York City Hall has no power to manage his property. "

   "So, how can you get the New York City Council to reject your garden construction?" Little George looked at the city councilor. What you mean is very clear. This park commissioner, Han Tenghe, is just a part-time worker. The real bosses are the various park committees in the city council.

  As long as he is willing to give me a little bragging capital, I will let his garden pass. "

  Although Stanton in the park is a donkey party, he will vote for the senator who is in the elephant party, but it is also necessary to offend such a difficult opponent, and it will be troublesome if he is bitten by me.

  The only thing that is more expensive is not that there is a window under the wall near the ceiling. The George Jr. family has inherited it. The mother of his great-grandfather once donated it to the church, and the piece of glass engraved with his son’s name was put back down.

   "Yes, you plan to rent a boat to go to sea..." Little George thought how to spread the news to his aunt.

  The first is that I have a bad relationship with the post-New York mayor, Robert Molina's son, Robert Hentenhe Sr., especially the officials outside the city hall who are willing to offend me because of the civil servant faction left by Molina.

   Douglas also invested in "Dirty Dancing". Like George Jr., I also received a very generous reward for my vision, adventurous spirit, and trust in Jr. George. That was the first time in my life that I got profits beyond the family trust.

"Mr. Senator, you don't know anything about some policies in New York State. Could you please ask me?" George Jr. seized the opportunity to briefly talk about how he was made things difficult by the New York City Hall Park, hoping that Able to get help from Alphonse da Giorgio.

   "For that matter, you need the help of the Park Borough Commissioner of Wagner Island. In principle, the New York City Parks Department can only directly govern the green belt in the middle of Wagner Island, which is the smallest natural reserve in New York.

  That Stanton has no eccentricities, nothing like me. When I see people who do not show respect to me, they will often offend me intentionally, and it is very happy to be stared at by people like me.

  But... New York does not have an administrative area, and there is no park commission of its own. The park commissioner can only directly manage Manhattan's Central Park and the ice rink. However, under the principle of Han Tenghe Island, the city council entrusts the park commissioner to take care of it. "

   "Oh, oh, that church is very boring." George Jr. had been to that church before, so he wrote a check and handed it to his aunt. "Since the relics of your father's ancestors have been returned to the church, you should also pay for it. I hope that the ins and outs of my death for the country and the origin of this piece of glass can be vaguely written as a church donor."

  Little George opened the design drawing, and there was no page outside that showed the front-end effect. It was a rectangular building like a large factory building, with rows of tables, chairs and benches, and whether there was a podium behind. Quakers pay attention to their own spirituality and communication with God. Xiaojia prays silently outside the church, even using the pastor's sermons.

  The seventh reason is that I carried forward my father’s tradition of doing big business, personally designed and manufactured few products without the badge of New York City, such as ties, cuffs, etc., and sold them outside government properties to tourists and raised donations for public utilities.

"Hey, Mr. Senator, we are your bad friends. Your father was able to come here outside the primary election. My contribution to the campaign advertisement is very small..." Da Han Teng, who had been paying attention to the other side, hurried over to make a rescue . It is important for the senator to offend George Jr., and he has to rely on George Jr. to stand out from the last edition of the campaign ad.

  Of course my aunt agreed to come up, because the Quakers pay attention to direct communication with God, and the biographies of other people can be placed outside the church. You said that you can’t put it outside the garden surrounded by the church and erect a monument to commemorate it.

…

"He's a Hollywood director, huh? He knows very few male stars? The most complicated way to deal with him is not to introduce a few male stars to 'Interstellar Exploration'. That guy almost harassed every year outside the park heavy man.

  "Hollywood often understands the operation of your country. You are a federal senator, and you can dictate the legislation of the state and the city hall." The senator made an excuse to run away.

   "Eh..." Little George rubbed his forehead. It turns out that once elected, city councilors cannot serve for a long term. It is possible for the grassroots parliament to be elected every two years like the federal representatives, otherwise the unlimited wealth will be wasted in elections. Only at the federal level can there be various donation channels to support that kind of money-consuming game.

   "You also know, you have to ask grandpa."

   "He's bad, Senator Ronald..." Little George shakes your hand after getting off.

"Do you know when the last city council reelection was? How can you not contribute to councilor Susan Ronald?" Little George thought that the federal senator also donated money to point himself in the direction, and it was almost impossible to come to the city council. .

  …

  The principles of American politics are not that complicated. From Wagner Island at the grassroots level to the lowest level of the Federation, similar principles are being violated.
