Chapter 1 The Hundred Dollar Bet

One year in the US presidential election, when the host excitedly read out the vote counting results, the whole United States was in a boiling moment. Countless people were shouting, dancing, laughing and making noise. The whole United States seemed to be in a carnival all of a sudden, especially in various black settlements. Everyone took to the streets, waving the star and striped flags desperately, shouting long live the United States, long live the president who is gifted with human rights.

Even the failed presidential supporters did not have much pessimism. They all admitted with a smile that this presidential election opened a new chapter in American history because the person who took office as president of the United States was an African-American black president.

In the live broadcast room, the winner of the election, Omar accepted the result with a smile. He picked up the microphone and said: The result is very good. In fact, Mr. Walsh is also a very strong contender. I achieved this victory with great difficulty, but I think this victory is very worthwhile, because it is a victory of democracy, the victory of the United States being accepted by new challenges, and the victory of the host, because you have successfully witnessed this victory.

Omar's humor made the host laugh. He continued: Of course, I would like to thank many people for this victory. First of all, the Republican Party. Without party support, I could not complete such a difficult challenge alone. Secondly, I would also like to thank all my supporters, especially all my compatriots, for you to go to the polling station to vote regardless of rain or shine. Because without your support, I would not have been able to achieve this magical reversal.

Speaking of this, Omar paused for a while before continuing: But these are secondary. What I should be most grateful for is actually a Chinese, because without his initial support, I might have to teach in college, rather than in politics, and it is even less likely that I would run for president.

Everyone says that the US president is great, so the person who guides the president to be elected is undoubtedly even greater. So who got this honor? The host asked.

Omar shook his head: I'm sorry I can't say his name before I'm authorized. I can only say that his surname is Zhou, and he is a person greater than me. Fortunately, I met him at the most correct time, otherwise I could not imagine what I would do now, whether I would teach in college or receive relief funds every day, and no one would know.

Time has returned to 90 years. Nearly a week has passed since the Brook incident, and everything has returned to normal, whether it is Wharton Insurance's business and investment, or Zhou Ming's daily courses.

It is really a very happy thing to see Zhou Ming coming to class every day.

Zyra said happily that in her opinion, nothing made her happier than Zhou Ming attending classes on time every day, while Zhou Ming felt helpless. After all, she was also the head teacher of the financial class. Even if she was reborn, she would not be so unwilling to learn. On the contrary, after a lifetime of experience, she would have seen knowledge more importantly. If there weren't so many things before, she wouldn't have missed so many classes.

As for Zilla's favor for her, it also made Zhou Ming feel a headache because there was Ye Ning beside her. Every time she saw Zilla's pretty face, she felt frost on her. In addition, Zilla's enthusiasm was like fire, so she was suffering in this two-dimensional world.

After class, Zhou Ming handed over the textbook to Ye Ning and took it back to the dormitory, and drove to a cafe outside the school.

Hey Zhou Ming, we are here.

Zhou Ming just walked into the cafe and heard someone say hello to him. He is Danny, the chairman of the Harvard Student Union. He also has a middle-aged man who is a little older and looks very similar to him. It is not difficult for Zhou Ming to guess that it is his father. Zhou Ming asked them to come here today and had a very important thing to talk about.

Sorry, Danny, I came a little late and made you wait for a long time. Zhou Ming came over and said politely.

Danny waved his hand and said: This is not a big deal. After all, Zhou Ming, you have already missed too many classes. I think you must be the first person except those who were expelled from the middle of the journey. You should also pick up these courses. Otherwise, it would be a shame to not graduate. Although you have many more important things, the school will not care about so many things. You know, the church is always very rigid.

Then Danny introduced Zhou Ming and the middle-aged people around him: This is Mr. Boer, he is my father, the founder and current chairman of Boer Investment Company. Mr. Boer, this is Zhou Ming, the classmate I mentioned to you.

It's great to know you, Mr. Boer.

Zhou Ming took the initiative to say hello to Boldani, and then the three of them sat down together. Boldani first asked Zhou Ming: Zhou Ming’s current market value is the company and how much capital available for investment

This question made Zhou Ming stunned for a moment. Danny didn't expect that his father would ask such a question in the first sentence he said. He said angrily: Mr. Boer, I can't imagine that you are really the chairman of an investment company. How could you directly ask such an uncultured question? Don't you know that this is very rude and business literacy?

But Boldanny didn't care about him, just looked at Zhou Ming waiting for his answer.

Poldanny's problem is actually an important reason why they made an appointment today. I still remember when Danny and Zhou Ming first met, he said that he hoped to cooperate with Zhou Ming. Later, various things about Zhou Ming were delayed. Now that Brooke's affairs have ended, Zhou Ming saw the wonderful uses of American power, he picked up the agreement with Danny again, hoping to promote political cooperation.

Zhou Ming thought for a while and said: My company is a newly established insurance company. Of course, it is far inferior to Mr. Boer's investment company, but it also has cash flow of over 100 million yuan, which is enough to support most investments.

Including the election that supported a district mayor, Boldani asked again.

Of course, it includes. Zhou Ming nodded and said that if Mr. Boer needed it, I could even bear the election of a mayor.

Faced with Zhou Ming's confident answer, Boldanny was still dissatisfied: Zhou Ming, are you sure you really understand an election? The so-called election fees are not just the expenses published in newspapers and TV. They are all to fool ordinary voters. The actual expenses and invisible expenses are the ones that make all small consortiums most discouraged.

I was mentally prepared for these, otherwise I wouldn't have sat here today and talked to Mr. Boer about co-sponsoring the election. Zhou Ming said.

If so, it would be a great thing. I really hope that a district mayor or even mayor can be pushed to the stage by us, so that both your insurance company and my investment company can be further developed.

Boldani said as he took out a note and handed it to Zhou Ming and said: This is my Election Foundation account. As long as Zhou Ming earns 100,000 US dollars, I believe it will be very helpful to this election.

Zhou Ming picked up the sticky note and looked at it and said: 100,000 US dollars is indeed not a huge fee. I can send money in at any time, but before remitting money, I would like to ask Mr. Boer a question first, which is who your campaigner is, can he succeed in the election?

It seems that Zhou Ming is a very cautious person, and seriousness and meticulousness are a very good habit. Boldani said that my elector is named John, and he is a barrister in a gold medal law firm. He has very high attainments in law. He has a great debate and often makes his opponent helpless in court. At the same time, he is also very politically wise and has the qualities of an electorate.

After saying that, Boldani thought about it and finally added: In addition, he has a Democratic Party membership, you may not know that in Massachusetts, people with Democratic Party membership are always more likely to win.

Zhou Mingze said: I have every reason to believe that this lawyer John must have been carefully selected by Mr. Boer, but please be honest, I have never heard of his name. If Mr. Boer trusts me, I hope I will choose another candidate. Mr. Boer, I will compare the stores and it will always be easier to pick the best ones.

You may also miss the best. Boldani took Zhou Ming's words and said, "Class Zhou Ming, you are Chinese, you don't understand the situation in the United States. Mr. John, who once won the community election, was an election without any support. Everything depends on himself. Whether it is funds or operations, the real politician is the one who can get out of here. And lawyer John meets this condition.

Finally, Boldani asked Zhou Ming: Mr. Zhou Ming, you said you have never heard of lawyer John. So who can you hear of this regional election, not a presidential election.

I've really heard of many people.

Zhou Ming smiled bitterly in his heart. What he said was actually the memory of his rebirth. Whether it is a celebrity governor or a presidential candidate, the United States is the only superpower in the world, with developed consulting and many things can be known even if you don’t check it.

Even so, Zhou Ming has never heard of this lawyer John. This means that he is just a very mediocre person, and even though he knows that he is a mediocre person and still invests, he is really crazy.

However, there is no way to say this to Bordani. In the end, Zhou Ming could only say from the side: I don’t think that Mr. Bord is so accidental. There are too many accidents in the community elections, because there are very few people participating in the elections in the community. It is possible that his relatives and clients are all here, so he can win the election more easily. However, when this is magnified by the district elections, the situation may change greatly, and I hope that our candidates can be finally elected.

However, Boldani obviously did not understand: Mr. Zhou Ming, it seems that we have a big difference. If you don’t trust my elector, then you can recommend another one by yourself, and I will be very happy to see it. But one thing is that my foundation will not provide any support, and at most it can answer some of your consulting questions. You know, only by clenching a fist can it exert its maximum power.

Thank you very much, Mr. Boer, so in this way, our cooperation can only be limited to verbal. Although 100,000 US dollars is not a huge sum, I still don’t want to invest in things without hope. Zhou Ming said.

Poldanny smiled disdainfully: The words of Zhou Ming’s words are really surprising, but I think it is the so-called young and energetic. For too young businessmen, you will always be arrogant and make the decisions you think are correct and willfully execute them. No failure will change. So I advise Zhou Ming to say, don’t be too willful.

Yes, but I don’t think I will fail, but will succeed. Zhou Ming said.

Is that true? Otherwise, if we bet a hundred dollars, you will definitely fail. Boldany is very confident.
