Lao Chuan's first campaign was unanimously looked down upon by the outside world, so much so that no one was willing to give him financial support.

In the end, I had to invest my own money to stand for election.

Even if he himself is very wealthy, his final campaign funds are far less than those of his opponents.

Although Hillary Clinton is not as rich as Lao Chuan, she has many donors and can easily attract political donations.

The United States allows voters to donate money to candidates. This money must be donated to the candidates' dedicated accounts, is open and transparent, and can only be used for campaign activities.

Moreover, in order to prevent corruption, U.S. law strictly limits the amount of donations that each person can make, so the money is very little for the campaign, not even enough to refuel a plane.

Of course, this kind of legal provision is just a fig leaf, and consortiums have many ways to circumvent the law.

For example, Zhang San decided to run for election, and Li Si was a loyal fan of Zhang San and supported Zhang San unconditionally.

So the consortium can give money to Li Si, and let Li Si use the money to advertise on TV stations to help Zhang San campaign.

The law only stipulates that no payment can be made to Zhang San, and there is no way to prevent them from paying Li Si.

As for Li Si, who is a loyal fan of Zhang San, what’s wrong with standing up for him?

The money given to Li Si is called political donation.

But the consortium doesn’t give you money for free. If you take other people’s money, you will naturally have to do things for them.

This time, Luo Xiu wanted to make a political donation through Li Si, in order to protect TikTok from unfair competition and prevent it from being suppressed for reasons of "national security."

Solve the difficulties you will encounter in the future directly from the source.

In fact, TikTok is not a high-tech company, and the reasons why it is suppressed are different from those of other technology companies.

Other technology companies are being suppressed because the United States wants to suppress Chinese technology companies.

This is their national policy and it is difficult to get them to change their stance.

The suppression of TikTok is simply because competitors such as Facebook use politics to engage in unfair competition.

People actively participate in politics, and there are people in the DPRK.

And if you just want to do business honestly and think that everything will be done according to local laws, everything will be fine. This is of course impossible.

Whether you are a Chinese company or a company from Mars, they can use the reason of "national security" to attack you.

Since Luo Xiu has the advantage of rebirth, of course he must find a backer in the court and take advantage of this election to cling to Lao Chuan's lap.

However, what he didn't expect was that the other party would not accept the political donation, causing his initial negotiations to fail.

…

"Mr. Luo, what should we do next?"

Luo Xiu thought for a while and replied: "We can't just give up. Lao Chuan's refusal to accept the money is not really that noble. It's just because our money is too insignificant compared to our competitors, so he just doesn't want it."

"So what should we do? Get more money?"

"No!" Luo Xiu shook his head, "Let's save this little money."

"What do you mean?"

"In addition to giving money, we can also provide help in other ways. Some things are as important as money."

Luo Xiu also didn't want to affect the general trend of history just because he was a little butterfly flapping its wings.

If Lao Chuan is not elected, everything will be in vain.

Therefore, Luo Xiu decided to provide additional help in some areas that he did not have originally.

Help him get some votes that are difficult for him to get.

Do something that looks important but is actually dispensable and won’t have much impact on the outcome.

…

A few days later, Luo Xiu appeared at the Lao Chuan family's private estate.

The person who received him became Lao Chuan's eldest daughter, the world's supermodel, Ivanka.

When Luo Xiu saw her, his eyes lit up.

Her long golden hair, delicate face, and tall and sexy figure all demonstrate her supermodel charm.

There are many beautiful women, but what is rare is the confidence and unique aura that she exudes all the time.

During the conversation with her, Luo Xiu was often distracted by the charm she exuded with every move she raised and every move she made.

It seems that she has a magical power that makes you mistakenly think that you are dating her instead of discussing a major event that can affect the trend of the world.

Indeed, when this pair of handsome men and women sit together, people who don't know them would really think that they are a young couple.

"Mr. Luo, you mean that you can use TikTok's influence to help my father win?"

"That's right!" Luo Xiu nodded, "Now the mainstream media are not optimistic about your father. The home page of Google search also shows mostly negative information, which is very detrimental to your father. You believe that your father must want another channel to speak out."

"But if I remember correctly, TikTok is just a new short video APP, and its influence is limited, right?"

"Ms. Ivanka, you missed two premises. This is an emerging short video APP with extremely fast growth and extremely high user stickiness. By next year, I am very confident that it will become a user activity second only to Twitter."

, Facebook and YouTube, a short video platform that integrates social networking and video.”

"It seems that Mr. Luo is confident."

"Of course, TikTok's main user group is the new generation, and this group rarely participates in voting. If we can win them over, it will be equivalent to having an extra winner. In the final decisive stage, the opponent will be caught off guard."

Luo Xiu believed that with the other party's sensitivity in the entertainment industry, he didn't need to speak clearly. He could just point it out and the other party would naturally feel how important this gift was.

What's more, Lao Chuan, who governs the country by "Twitter", no one understands traffic better than him.

TikTok’s traffic is definitely a killer support for him.

"If my father is elected, what help do you want him to provide you? What are your requirements?"

When Luo Xiu heard her asking this question, he knew that the cooperation between the two parties was already half successful.

As long as things aren't too difficult, it probably won't be a problem.

"I am just an honest and responsible businessman. I don't have too many requirements. I just hope that others will be honest and responsible to me. I hope that TikTok will obtain a fully legal status and will not be subject to malicious competition from peers."

After listening to Luo Xiu's words, Ikavan smiled sweetly, "In our United States, it's usually harder for honest boys to date girls. Is this the same for Mr. Luo?"

"There is also a saying in our country that if a man is not bad, a woman will not love him."

"It seems that I have been deceived. Mr. Luo Sheng does not look like an honest person."

"Miss Ikavan, you have wronged me." Luo Xiu raised his lips, "I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to dinner."

"If it's just to have dinner together." She thought for a moment, "Of course I'm very willing."

"Then I will send someone to pick you up tonight."

After Luo Xiu said this, he stood up and shook hands with her to say goodbye.
