Chapter 40 Can't Avoid
Seeing Adrian's gaze, Song Yang thought for a while, and understood what Adrian was trying to do.
"According to the plan, before the end of the double-click company, the number of advertising sales staff will reach 300 people..."
Before listening to Song Yang, Adrian said directly, "Before the end of next month, Double-click Company will complete the staff expansion!"
In Adrian's constituency, adding 300 new jobs means that 300 families voted for him, and these 300 families may even affect 600 or 800 votes. !
Why do those powerful figures in the federation want to please the big groups? In addition to being able to obtain campaign funds, those big groups have tens of thousands of people and can influence tens of thousands of families with hundreds of thousands of votes, enough to decide the fate of a certain member of the district. Stayed.
Hearing that Adrian wanted to intervene in Double Click Company, Song Yang frowned slightly. Adrian broke the original plan of Double Click Company.
At this time, Matthews, who was standing by the side, coughed, "Congressman Adrian, I remember that you are promoting a proposal for emerging technology companies in Houston?!"
Adrian patted his forehead, as if he had just remembered, and said to Song Yang, "I am promoting a proposal for emerging technology companies for Houston, exempting such emerging companies from tax for one year, so that they can Better to develop!"
This is an exchange. As long as Song Yang can add 300 jobs to Adrian's constituency, he can use the power of a member of parliament to exempt the company from double-click tax for one year.
You must know that Texas does not collect state tax, nor does it charge the tax of the old rich, and now exempting the double-click company's tax will at least reduce the double-click company's expenses by one-third. As for next year, it will be unavoidable or get subsidies. It depends on the relationship with Adrian.
In the face of this condition, Song Yang has any reason to refuse, "I also think that Double-click Company has reached the point where it needs to expand its manpower."
"I think Congressman Adrian is the best candidate for the mayor of Houston. For this, I am willing to donate funds to Congressman Adrian's campaign office!"
Seeing Song Yang's interest, a smile finally appeared on Adrian's face. Song Yang's willingness to invest money in his campaign has already shown his attitude.
As for how much to vote, Adrian doesn't care too much. Right now, it's not a state election or a congressman, and he's campaigning on the Elephant Party's territory. In fact, the money is not burned much, and it is more up to Adrian to do so. The contacts accumulated over the years, as well as the support of the party boss.
It's really time for the governor's election, or even the presidential election. That's the time to burn money. With tens of billions of dollars at every turn, with Song Yang's current net worth, he hasn't gotten the ticket to enter this money-burning game at all. .
Don't look at those big money owners, they burn so desperately, but as long as the one who supports becomes the big commander, then in the next four years, the money burned will be doubled, otherwise in America, you will lose money. Who is willing to do business?
Adrian patted Song Yang on the shoulder, and then and Matthews went to talk to the next one. After leaving, Adrian whispered to Matthews, "Nice young man!"
Matthews could hear that Adrian was quite satisfied with Song Yang. Generally, for a young man of Song Yang's age, America would be extremely arrogant if he could have the wealth of Song Yang. It's not pleasing to the eye, let alone listening to someone like Adrian nagging.
"Young people are prone to mistakes, often unable to determine who their allies and opponents are. In addition, most of his net worth is only paper wealth..."
As Adrian's chief staff, Matthews is more cautious than Adrian. He has to choose the most suitable allies for Adrian and deal with the toughest opponents.
Adrian laughed, looked back at Song Yang, and said to Matthews in a low voice, "I hope he can get up, the people from Cheniere Energy and United Energy have become more and more excessive..."
When he said this, Adrian looked a little dissatisfied. Obviously, the support of the energy giants in Houston was not cheap, and their appetite was getting bigger and bigger, at least compared to Song Yang's side. Much better to speak.
Adrian doesn't want to be a puppet at the mercy of a giant company. You must know that he is famous for his decisiveness and determination, but in recent years he has become more and more tactful.
Adrian and Matthews had just left, but another special person came to Song Yang's side. Seeing this person coming to Song Yang's side, many people in the small restaurant couldn't help but cast their eyes.
"President Kenneth!"
Song Yang did not expect that Kenneth, the boss of the Enron Company, would come specifically to look for him.
"Is it convenient to say a few words?" Kenneth handed Song Yang a glass of wine.
Song Yang took the wine glass and nodded, Kenneth spoke in person, Song Yang couldn't refuse, now Enron is a giant company with annual revenue of more than 10 billion dollars, and it provokes Enron in Houston. It must be Song Yang and Double Click Company.
"Although Enron is a traditional energy company, it does not contradict emerging affairs. In fact, Enron is preparing for a telecommunications business!" Kenneth took a sip of wine and said while looking at Song Yang.
Song Yang took a sip of wine, showing a look of surprise, but his mind was spinning rapidly, wondering why Kenneth said this to him, anyway, it's definitely not a trivial matter to say from someone of Kenneth's status.
"Enron is at the forefront of the times and is more innovative than Microsoft and Intel!"
Song Yang touted Kenneth, which is true. Microsoft and Intel are indeed not as good as Enron. Enron has started to do telecommunications. These two companies have not made any moves. When Netscape is in the face, Microsoft Just reacted.
Kenneth couldn't help but burst into laughter again. He felt that Song Yang, this young man, was much more pleasing to the eye than the others. He liked to be "new" safely, not static.
"Enron intends to develop in the telecom broadband and Internet industries, and even Enron already has an Internet-based plan, Song, maybe Anran and DoubleClick can cooperate!"
Kenneth pointed to something, patted Song Yang on the shoulder in a big way, and then left.
In the small restaurant, seeing Kenneth leaving with a big smile, he was a little impressed by Song Yang, but he didn't expect him to be favored by someone like Kenneth.
Greg was also a little excited. This is Enron. America is an absolute giant. America is ranked seventh among giant companies, and the world's top 500 is also ranked sixteenth. To be related to such a giant is enough to double-click. The company took off.
However, Song Yang didn't feel any joy in his heart. Instead, he felt bitter. He couldn't dodge if he wanted to. He already knew what Kenneth was going to do. What else could it be other than the trading website Enron Online? .
