Chapter 564

During EVA's most difficult time, Karim has been manipulating Griffith's election in the United States. Originally, Karim wanted to go to New York to comfort EVA, but sherius insisted that Karim not do so. EVA is on the cusp of the storm now. Once someone finds out the relationship between Karim and EVA, it may lead to unnecessary trouble.

Griffith's run for governor of South Dakota was not a whim. Sherio Sha hopes to put Griffith on the seat of governor of South Dakota, so that Monsanto's genetically modified soybean can be widely promoted.

However, Griffith's own conditions are not outstanding. Although he has good local contacts in both north and South Dakota, Griffith has never had experience in politics. To make such a candidate the favorite of voters, he has to spend a lot of effort.

When it comes to the election campaign in the United States, we have to mention public relations companies and lobbying companies. To make Griffith a qualified candidate. Xie liaosha invited a well-known public relations company to design a new public image for Griffith. With the help of the public relations company, Griffith was shaped into an old cowboy from South Dakota. He spent his whole life on the land and became a successful person step by step with his own diligence. This is the basis of the typical American dream, After a period of publicity, Griffith gradually became a well-known person in South Dakota.

And the task of lobbying companies is even more important, because Griffith is a political commoner, and it must rely on a certain political force to win the full support of the Democratic Party's South Dakota party headquarters. Karim contacted mckill, the current congressman in South Dakota, through a lobbying company. Mckill's term will end after the mid-term election. After leaving office, mckill will become an ordinary person again. After Karim donated a large sum of money to Mrs. mckill's charity fund, at the mckill couple's charity thank you ball, Karim hinted to Mr. McGill that he could serve on the board of Monsanto after retirement. Lured by interests, mckill finally agreed to give his full support to Griffith in the South Dakota election campaign.

With the support of political factions, the beloved image and the almost invincible fund-raising ability, Griffith's election road is much smoother than most politicians.

Because of his money, Griffith's campaign ads can cover South Dakota people's favorite TV channels, he can appear on very well-known political talk shows, and he can even appear in famous soap operas. As long as the campaign meeting held by Griffith is bound to invite a large number of stars to participate, not only the political media will report his campaign meeting, but also the entertainment media are frequent guests of Griffith's campaign.

The candidates against Griffith think Griffith is a political idiot, and if he is elected, it will be a disaster for South Dakota. Griffith retorts that when he was president of Dakota pasta growers, farmers in North and South Dakota made a fortune.

With the full support of Karim, Griffith soon made a big splash among the nine candidates in South Dakota. According to the current opinion poll, the residents of South Dakota are full of complaints about professional politicians because of the agricultural recession in the past few years. On the contrary, Griffith, a plain politician, has left a good impression in everyone's heart, About 30% of the residents are willing to vote for Griffith in the election.

After more than half a year's efforts, Griffith finally ushered in the first major test of his political career. He is going to participate in the Democratic Party's primary election in South Dakota with the other nine candidates, and has determined who will be the first candidate to represent the Democratic Party in the governor election next year.

At the moment, in the largest indoor stadium in peel, South Dakota, nine candidates, including Griffith, are making a final effort to explain their ideas to the supporters of the party. The election is cruel. Politicians who are willing to stand for election are all under great economic pressure. For most candidates, they have only one chance to participate in the Democratic primary election. Once they fail, they will never be able to stand for election again, because their supporters will lose confidence in him.

When the nine candidates have finished their final speeches, the Democratic representatives from South Dakota who come to participate in the event will start voting and start the final race of Democratic candidates for governor.

At nine o'clock, all the delegates to the South Dakota Democratic convention cast their votes one after another. In a corner of the stadium, in an area separated by the democratic flag, a group of uniformed and ID wearing staff of the Democratic Party's South Dakota central party office are working nervously and meticulously to count votes. The nine candidates are in a faction, waiting for the final verdict of fate. Everyone, including Griffith, is watching every move of the counting. They look like the father to be who was waiting for news outside the delivery room.

Griffith felt that the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch. He quickly and secretly massaged the muscles on his face with his hands. At this moment, it was cruel for all candidates. Griffith felt that his heart would almost stop because of the enormous pressure on which candidate could get to this point.

With the end of the counting work, there has been some agitation in the silence. To some extent, the election in the United States is very similar to the draft. But the final destination is different. The final destination of the draft winner is Hollywood, while the final destination of the election winner is Washington.

When the person in charge of the counting work began to confirm the final vote rate statistics to his subordinates, several candidates with poor psychological endurance even did not dare to look at him. The person in charge took the list and strode to the podium. Under the attention of the public, Goldman Sachs announced that the final winner was Mr. Griffith, who won a total of 14578 representative votes with a vote rate of 46.7%.

"Oh Griffith's supporters in the stands cheered for the victory. Griffith's family rushed to the stage to celebrate the rare victory with him. After a brief adjustment, the other candidates began to go to Griffith one after another to congratulate him. Although they can't be governor, they may be able to seek a position in Dakota government after Griffith is elected.

Sitting in the grandstand, Karim left her seat with a smile. Her efforts were finally rewarded, and seryosha's plan finally took a smooth first step. Karim takes out his satellite phone from his bag. He wants to share the good news with his lover.
