The U.S. presidential election is not a universal suffrage system with a nationwide uniform count of votes, but a special electoral system.

The so-called electoral system is that every state in the United States has a certain number of electoral votes.

In the U.S. presidential election, the voting results of voters in each state determine the target ownership of the corresponding electoral votes in that state. Presidential candidates win or lose the election based on the number of electoral votes they ultimately receive, rather than a specific nationwide voter turnout.

This "winner-takes-all" electoral system means that apart from the entrenched Democrats and Republicans, it is difficult for candidates from other parties in the United States to win elections.

Facts have also proved that in the more than two hundred years since the founding of the United States, except for the original George Washington, no president came from a third party other than the Democratic Republic.

Although Ross Perot's candidacy has aroused intense media and public attention, it is clear to anyone with knowledge that Ross Perot's chances of breaking the entrenched political monopoly of the two parties in the United States are slim to none.

However, as Ross Perot attracts more and more attention, neither party in the United States dares to take the stand-alone candidate lightly anymore.

The recent attacks on Ross Perot in some conservative media are obviously deliberate.

In Simon's memory, it is not only the attacks of the media and public opinion. In order to prevent Perot from running for the election, the Bush administration even resorted to some filthy methods.

Ross Perot also withdrew from the election for a time under pressure, but after many twists and turns, the powerful billionaire finally participated in the general election that year, and won an unprecedented 19% support rate for an independent candidate.

Because of the distribution of a large number of conservative votes that should have belonged to the Bush camp, George Bush's re-election failed to a large extent.

Simon, who made a bet on Clinton last year, has been quietly pouring money and resources into building momentum for the candidate for the past six months.

However, in Simon's view, Clinton, who has little qualifications, wants to win this presidential election, in the final analysis, he can only find another way.

To put it bluntly, it was securing Ross Perot's candidacy to split Bush's vote.

"A friend of mine has been doing media PR for the Perot family, and I talked to him and took the opportunity to attend a reception hosted by Ross Perot the other day. Overall, it was a very Strong and conceited people tend to be stubborn and don't like to follow other people's advice."

In the reception room of Greenwich Manor, Joseph Schlapp introduced the situation of Ross Perot: "For the recent attack in the media, Perot was very angry, thinking that he had been treated unfairly, which is to a large extent It has strengthened his determination to continue to run for election."

Janet brought in the coffee herself.

Joseph paused for a moment, and after Janet poured coffee for everyone and sat down beside Simon, he continued: "However, I don't think Perot's determination can last too long, because the Republicans want to prevent Perot's candidacy will definitely not only exert pressure on public opinion.

For example, recently, Perot's computer service company is planning to assist several major securities and commodity exchanges to build a new online trading system. This is a big business and needs to be obtained by SEC (US Securities and Exchange Commission), the Department of Justice and other departments approval.

If Perot sticks to the race, Republicans could create obstacles for Perot's companies on these fronts. Perot himself should be very clear that the probability of him winning the election is very low. For this matter to damage the interests of the company, it will definitely outweigh the gains, so he may eventually take the initiative to make a choice to give up the election. "

Where there is a national government, there is never a shortage of using public power to suppress opponents.

America is no exception.

In the Watergate scandal, the Nixon administration tried to block The Washington Post from reporting on it by threatening to deny the Washington Post Group a cable TV license. The Washington Post Group also nearly gave in at one point.

Of course, the final result is known to everyone.

But beyond that, there are simply too many other things like that.

In the two acquisitions of the Westeros system last year, because of Simon's tendency to side with the Democratic Party, he also encountered some difficult warnings from the Republican Party.

Ross Perot's family has a great career, and he belongs to the conversely "those who wear shoes are afraid of being barefoot". If they insist on running for the election, they will indeed have many scruples.

Speaking of which, Ross Perot was at the forefront of the Forbes rich list several times in the 1980s. In the 1990s, the wave of new technologies emerged, but the Perot family, which is mainly engaged in computer services, has disappeared. It is difficult to say whether it is related to 1992. His insistence on participating in the U.S. presidential election in 2018 has led to continued suppression of the family company.

After several years of cooperation, Joseph Schlapp has gained the trust of Simon, so he also knows most of Simon's layout.

Hearing him say this, Simon generally understands that this is a reminder to Simon that if he wants Ross Perot to insist on participating in this year's presidential election, he will help the other party to solve some "worries".

Simon and Ross Perot are not familiar with each other, but for example, the online trading system that Joseph just said, using the connections established by the Westeros system can indeed provide some help.

Moreover, after stating their interests to the Democratic Party through Clinton, the Democratic camp should also push for Perot to continue to run for election.

Although the current White House cabinet is controlled by the Republican Party, it does not lack the power of the Democratic Party. The SEC is even a government department of the Congress. After the mid-term elections the previous year, both houses of Congress were under the control of the Democratic Party.

After discussing the details of promoting Ross Perot to continue to run for election, Joseph Schlapp handed over some documents sent by the Clinton team, mainly hoping that Simon could provide public opinion help for the Clinton campaign on the Igret portal platform. .

Speaking of which, in this presidential election, what Simon has to do is to move the boat along the way, and he will not invest at all costs.

In the same sentence, the position of the President of the United States involves too little investment and too much gain, so too many interests are involved.

For the current Simon, dabbling too deep may be worth the loss.

The main target of the expansion of the Westeros system in the political world is the senators who are still powerful but do not attract much attention.

So, in just over twenty minutes on the matter, Joseph Schlapp then talked about the progress of lobbying on several of the telecommunications and media industry bills that the Westeros system is concerned about.

Simon's most recent concern is the bill to lift the telecommunications industry operators from the field of telecommunications equipment manufacturing.

After releasing the first GSM digital mobile phone last year, Nokia expanded very rapidly in the European market. On the US side, at-t, the largest telecom operator in North America, and Verizon, which is controlled by Westeros, have begun to deploy GSM. mobile communication system.

If Nokia cannot enter the North American market as soon as possible, even with the advantages of a channel operator like Verizon, it will only become more and more difficult to open up the North American market in the end.

Fortunately, it is not just the Westeros system. Telecom industry giants such as at-t are promoting the opening of telecom industry regulations.

Although it will take a year or two to release the restrictions on the integration of services such as long and short distance calls and cable television, the ban on telecom operators not being allowed to set foot in telecom equipment manufacturing will probably be lifted by the end of this year.

At that time, Nokia can enter the North American market.

In the media field, after Sony acquired Colombia, with more Japanese and European companies eyeing big Hollywood studios, in order to prevent Hollywood from being occupied by foreign capital, the lifting of the ban on the merger of content providers and channel operators in the media industry has almost It is already an inevitable trend.

The relevant ban will be lifted by next year at the latest.

At that time, the traditional three major TV networks and the big Hollywood studios will be able to achieve mutual mergers, and the Fox TV network, which is limited in many ways because of its ownership of 20th Century Fox, can also expand its own scale. , has completely become the fourth largest TV network in the United States, along with the three old public TV networks.

After the enactment of the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, the United States has been restricting the expansion of large corporate giants for a century. In the process, Standard Oil was broken up, the Paramount Act was born, and at-t was Divided into seven, many other industries are also subject to many restrictions under antitrust laws.

It is exactly what the phrase 'a long time will come together'.

At least, for the next three decades in Simon's memory, the United States has maintained a more or less laissez-faire attitude towards the expansion of corporate giants.

This country will also enter the next "golden age" of capital.

Continued expansion has enabled American corporate giants to maintain their global competitiveness in the context of globalization, but at the same time, this expansion will undoubtedly suppress innovation and hinder the development of the industry, so it is difficult to say whether it is good or bad.

However, for the Westeros system, the next three decades will definitely be the best era.

Various matters were discussed all morning, and it was already one o'clock in the afternoon to retain Joseph Schlapp for lunch and send him off.

It happened to be a sunny day, and the early spring sunshine brought a little warmth.

There was a large lounge chair on a terrace of the manor house, and the sun was shining warmly. Janet was like a cat in spring, snuggling and rubbing beside Simon.

It is indeed 'spring'.

After giving birth to the little guy, I rested for a few months, and I was finally able to have a hearty love last night, so I woke up very late this morning. The two had just had breakfast when Joseph Schlapp arrived at nine o'clock.

Simon also squinted his eyes comfortably, feeling the warm sunshine in the afternoon and the fragrant soft woman in his arms. I don't know how long it was, and when the sun was blocked by the partition wall on the terrace side, he said softly: "Baby, how are you going to spend your birthday?"

The woman's birthday is March 13, next Friday.

Simon remembered it very clearly.

Janet, who was wrapped around Simon, moved her body, and scratched her little paw on the man a few times, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's just my birthday, I'm just not my birthday."

Simon smiled and said, "Just treat it as your 18th birthday, okay?"

"Ouch..."

"Okay, okay," he reached out and patted the woman who was biting his shoulder. After thinking about it, Simon said again, "Why don't we go to Australia next week to see the child by the way."

"Well, it's only been a few days. Are you sure you want to go see the child?"

"..."

"Ha ha."

Speaking of which, through video communication, the couple can actually see the little guy far away in Australia every day.

After being taken to Australia by Veronica, Simon had some worries that the little guy might not be acclimatized.

However, this did not happen

.

Surrounded by a large group of people, the little guy is more precious than when he was here in LA.

Although Janet often talks about a little annoyance, there is nothing wrong with being a mother, and she has always loved children. It's just that women don't like the feeling of being restrained by a little guy and living freely.

As for Simon, the coma after meeting Veronica for the first time caused a strange fusion between him and the original soul of this body.

Simon's original consciousness still firmly dominates this body, but, inevitably, many memories and emotions of the original owner of this body are affecting him unknowingly.

In the final analysis, a body that integrates the souls of more than ten people can no longer be a simple one.

Simon Westeros now, just Simon Westeros

Janet teased, seeing that Simon didn't speak, she propped herself up and looked up: "Or, let's go to Manhattan to watch the fashion show at night, the two 'waist spirits' and 'leg spirits' that you raised in Europe last time have been around recently. Oh."

Of the four major fashion weeks of this era, New York Fashion Week still takes place after London, Paris and Milan.

This year's New York Fashion Week officially opened yesterday and will last for ten days.

Simon picked up two models, Yasmin Gary and Naja Allman, in Milan last year. Their fame has continued to rise in the past six months. Naturally, they will not miss the New York Fashion Week show.

Reaching out his hand to wrap his arms around the woman's waist again, Simon pretended to be worried and said, "You're not going to beat people, are you? They're just ordinary goblins, and they can't stand the torture of your big devil."

Janet bared her little white teeth: "Little bastard, if you want to hit me, you should also hit you."

Simon leaned down with his slightly raised head, and made a merman-like posture: "Fight, fight, I won't resist."

Janet slapped Simon lightly, and whispered again: "Little bastard."

Then he posted it again, listening to the man's strong heartbeat.

dong dong dong.

In fact, he knew more things. Those two models, with fine waists and fine legs, spent a lot of money on the two girls, but he didn't have sex with them, let alone anything. special feeling.

In fact, I understand that he probably likes the feeling of manipulating everything.

God said, let there be light!

It seems like a long, long time ago, and it seems like it was just yesterday.

When she was tightly grasped by the wrist that time, she knew that this man was her own God.

"Simon."

Suddenly, he couldn't help but let out a small voice.

There was also an answer in the ear.

"Um."

Then there was a sense of satisfaction.

Probably because she had a good heart, the man's big hand gently patted her waist again.

Time went by and watched, until the sky was completely dark, and finally I was willing to leave the terrace.

After discussing it, we drove to Manhattan together, chose a good restaurant, had dinner, or went to Bryant Park in Midtown to watch the catwalk.

It has been arranged in advance, just in time for ck's catwalk.

Even though the fashion trend for celebrities and superstars to participate in the catwalk has been formed, the Simon and his wife appearing in the ck show still feel like two big dinosaurs appearing in a chicken farm.

The photographer on the show probably consumed more film on the couple than any model on the runway.

The brand catwalk time will not be too long, and the two just stepped on the point to arrive. In less than 20 minutes, the catwalk that may have been planned for several months in private is over.

After the ck founder Calvin Klein called the curtain, he personally came over to invite Simon and the two to attend the next brand party.

Appears very attentive.

Simon actually understands the reason. The couple's appearance at ck's show tonight will definitely bring a wave of high exposure to the brand.

And, on a deeper level: the current ck is actually on the verge of bankruptcy.

This is what Janet whispered in Simon's ear after entering the show.

Sophia has been on the lookout for the homegrown haute couture house since late last year.

ck's main business of jeans, underwear, etc. happens to not form too much competition with Gucci.

Therefore, it should be a good complement to Melisandre's fashion business to win this company, which has a history of more than 20 years.

Of course, running to see the show tonight is entirely just the couple's pleasure.

Different from Gucci, although ck has been established for more than 20 years, the overall scale is still small, and its turnover has just exceeded 100 million US dollars in recent years. Even if you choose to buy it outright, the price will not exceed 100 million US dollars.

A $100 million business is not enough for Simon to pay too much attention.

Of course he didn't turn down Calvin Klein's party invitation.

Presumably due to financial constraints, the party that followed was a bit shabby, in Bryant Park, despite inviting some of the newest and most famous models, including Naja Allman, Yasmin Gary, and Kate Moss. In the banquet hall of an ordinary hotel nearby.

If it wasn't for the Simon couple, many of the models and celebrities who participated in the catwalk would probably not be there.

Perhaps it was because of the news that the Simon couple appeared at the ck party scene, and people continued to come one after another. There were originally only fifty or sixty people in the party.

After half an hour, the scene was already a bit crowded.

Several top supermodels in the fashion circle, including Cindy Crawford and Linda Evangelinsta, rushed over.

Nadja Allman, Yasmin Gary, including the newly emerging Kate Moss, even though their careers are rising rapidly, they still can't afford the title of 'supermodel' now. From this we can see the gold content of supermodels in the 1990s.

Then, when Janet was found by Simon's side, the eyes of many ambitious girls on the scene were obviously a little more disappointed.

The rapid rise of Naja Allman and Yasmin Gary in the past six months has made many fashion circle girls who spare no effort to get the upper hand feel the magic of Simon Westeros turning stone into gold. This attraction Even more tempting than Westeros' multibillion-dollar fortune.

Who doesn't want to be the next lucky person to be fingered by gold?
