Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

After returning to San Francisco, Xia Yu first went to Polaris Capital to inquire about the progress of the work arranged before he left.

In the acquisition of Wells Fargo, Peter Lynch is working hard. After a month, there has been very good progress. Peter Lynch said that he is very sure to win it a year ago.

On the contrary, intelligence gathering in the US film and theater market has been completed.

The film and television entertainment center in the United States is located in Los Angeles, California. Most of the companies in the entertainment industry chain have their headquarters here. Even if the headquarters is not here, at least one branch will be there.

That's why the work gets done so quickly.

There is simply not too much information on the entire big industry, and even if it is condensed, it cannot be read in a day or two.

While Xia Yu stayed at home with jet lag, he read these materials by the way, so that the memory in his mind gradually matched with this era through these materials.

It's just that at this critical period, Xia Yu was also a little restless.

November 4th, Presidential Election Day!

Voters in each state and the District of Columbia, Washington, officially start their general elections, and voters in each state will cast their popular votes for the electors of their supported parties at various polling places on this day.

Xia Yu stayed at home, sitting on the sofa, watching the news from the anchor of CNN channel on TV intently.

I believe that many people who are not eligible to vote on this day, or who have already voted, many people are in front of the TV to learn about the voting results of their state and other states through the news.

This has to say about the nature of the US presidential election.

The president of the United States is indirectly elected. Voters cast the popular vote on election day, not the president, but the presidential elector. Finally, the elector will vote for the president on behalf of their will.

For example, if a voter wants to vote for the Democratic nominee for president, he actually casts the popular vote for the Democratic nominee in his state; if he wants to vote for the Republican nominee, he votes for the Republican nominee. people.

Then there are real presidential elections on the first Monday after the second Wednesday in December, in which state electors cast their electoral votes in state capitals.

The total number of electoral votes in the United States is 538.

These 538 electoral votes are composed of two parts. The first part is a fixed vote, with a total of 103 votes, two for each of the fifty states in the United States, and another three for the District of Columbia, where the capital Washington is located.

The remaining 435 electoral votes are distributed according to the population of each state. The more populous states have more electoral votes, and the number of federal seats in each state is also distributed according to the population. nature.

As for the electors, it's just a voting machine, and they have to vote according to the votes of the voters in the state, so it's just a cutscene.

So the key is to look at the results of the popular vote in the states on November 4.

Except for Maine and Nebraska, where the electoral votes are allocated in proportion to the popular vote, the remaining 48 states and Washington, D.C. all implement the "winner-takes-all" rule, that is, the election of the state or the district is divided into two states. All votes are given to the presidential candidate who receives a relative majority of the popular vote in the state or the District.

Because of these rules, the key to the general election is the state with the most electoral votes.

For example, California, which has the most votes, has 55 electoral votes in this election, and Alaska has only 3 votes. As long as the victory in California, even if it is only one more popular vote, it will be possible. Take all 55 electoral votes, change to a state like Alaska, and win 18 states with only 54 votes!

Because of this, even if a presidential candidate obtains more than 51 percent of the popular vote in the United States, he may not necessarily be able to obtain 270 electoral votes to become president. This has happened many times in American history.

This special rule also leaves a huge room for capitalists to operate. The votes of the big states are quite fierce. For example, federal parliamentarians come forward to open up relations, the amount of reports from major media, the amount of advertising, and the amount of major groups. The level of public relations, etc., every place is a battlefield, and the money burned is a fast!

But what if the party's presidential candidate doesn't get 270 electoral votes after the voter's election?

Then, according to Articles 12 and 20 of the U.S. Constitution, it is up to the Federal Assembly to vote on the candidates for the President and Vice President.

And it’s worth noting that the House votes for the president, with only one vote per state, and the candidate with more than 26 votes wins.

The Senate votes for the vice president, with one vote per senator, also a majority.

If this is the case, the risk is great.

So whether it is Democrats or Republicans, they will do their best to work before the real voters vote in the general election.

Before the media scrambled to report that Ronald Reagan's situation was very good, it was not that the states had voted, but the major media used questionnaires to infer the situation in each state, and then counted the electoral votes of each state to get Ronald Reagan The advantage is growing.

But there is a saying that not all politicians can take it seriously, even the president.

As long as there is enough interest, you can beat yourself up at any time.

Whether it is a member of the Democratic Party or a member of the Republican Party, it is not only to communicate with members of the same party, the forces behind it will also change their positions, so it is difficult to say everything, even the leaders of the two parties may not be able to make all members have the same views and positions. .

There are also many people who change parties. Wasn't Ronald Reagan a Democrat?

Therefore, before voters cast the popular vote in the ballot box, the representatives of the two parties in various influential groups in various states cannot fully believe what they have promised. Undecided or even replace the replacement support object.

Fortunately, the Ronald Reagan team never let up, and continues to burn money even today.

"Texas voting results have been announced, Texas has cast a total of 7,124,058 popular votes, Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan won 3,647,518 votes, with 51.2% of the vote, Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter 2977856 41.8% of the votes, Republican independent presidential candidate John B. Anderson got 498,684 votes, 7%, Ronald Reagan won another state! 34 electoral votes!"

Xia Yu was not surprised by this result. Texas is the traditional vote base of the Republican Party, not to mention that the Bush family has been operating there for many years, so it is impossible for Texas to be taken away by Jimmy Carter.

...

"So far, forty-eight states and Washington, D.C. have announced their voting results, and Ronald Reagan won in forty-three states, according to the 95 percent count, and Jimmy Carter in five states and the District of Columbia. Victory."

"After statistics, Ronald Reagan received 42.39 million popular votes, accounting for 53.2% of voters, and will receive 473 electoral votes, and Jimmy Carter received 32.11 million popular votes, accounting for 40.3% of voters, and will receive 41 electoral votes. Independent candidate John B. Anderson received 5.19 million popular votes, or 6.5 percent of the electorate, and did not receive an electoral vote."

When this series of data came out of the hostess' mouth, Xia Yu smiled, feeling very emotional, and even a little proud.

Because history has changed again!

Under his intervention, the US election has undergone a lot of changes. Ronald Reagan won only 42 states in his previous life, and now there is one more state.

In addition, Ronald Reagan's popular vote was also a few points higher, which is definitely the effect of burning money.

Don't you see that when the black president of the future was running, he placed twice as many bashing ads as his opponents, and turned the situation in a certain state in just one month.

Ronald Reagan's election result today, won quite beautifully, leaving Jimmy Carter no chance at all.

Even if errors are found in the subsequent recount, it is impossible to make up for the gap of nearly 13%, at most a few tenths of a percent.

As for the results of next month's electoral votes, don't worry. The gap between Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter is 11 times larger. Small moves are completely ineffective, and the Democrats will never dare to make big moves. !

"Just walk through the motions and cast a vote next month. I believe Ronald Reagan is celebrating now, and the next step is to share the cake..."

Xia Yu chuckled, then got up and turned off the TV, ready to wash and rest.

As for congratulations to Ronald Reagan, I'll leave it for tomorrow. After all, CNN has broadcast it. There are too many people in the United States who know the result. It is completely foreseeable that his phone will be blown up.

Early the next morning, Xia Yu brought the day's "USA Today" and other newspapers from the mailbox. The cover was Ronald Reagan's head. Xia Yu quickly browsed the past, only in "Jimmy Carter admitted defeat yesterday and congratulated Ronald Reagan. De Reagan has won an excellent victory and pledged his fullest support and cooperation for an orderly transition of government in the coming weeks."

Afterwards, Xia Yu called Ronald Reagan to congratulate him, and simply hung up after three minutes of chatting.

After eleven o'clock in the morning, Xia Yu received an unexpected call.

The person who called was Rhodes Saxon, the financial adviser in Ronald Reagan's campaign team and the person in charge of secretly connecting with Xia Yu and Ronald Reagan.

Xia Yu knew his purpose, so he didn't say more on the phone and asked him to come to San Francisco directly.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon, Rhodes Saxon came to Xia Yu's mansion with some gifts.
