Chapter 517 There Is Always a Way to Make You Compromise

"Knock knock knock".

"Come in."

Francis watched Secretary Gerald open the door, and walked in with a smile on his face.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Sanders."

Gerrard smiled and asked the secretary to leave, pointing to the sofa and saying, "Sit down."

"Thank you", Francis smiled all over his face, unbuttoned his suit as if he had never read the letter, and sat on the sofa with his legs crossed.

Gerald frowned and looked at the smiling Francis, but he felt that this guy, at a young age, already understood the truth that the weaker he was, the less he could speak first as long as he had a hole card in his hand.

Fortunately, Gerald didn't want to waste too much energy on a matter that he certainly didn't need to calculate.

Picked up a newspaper from the desk and handed it to Francis.

Francis only took a few glances, and he probably understood in his heart that he wanted to use the votes of other voters to offset the votes of the fruit growers.

"It's just charitable donations, but it can't offset the economic loss of the Gray Hands to the South Carolina orange farmers."

Gerald narrowed his eyes and glanced at Francis. The loss of the orange farmers was just deceiving ordinary people. Everyone cared about votes.

"I heard that there are 16 charitable pension funds in your constituency. Maybe in the next two or three months, you have to spend time visiting various pension institutions."

Francis' eyes lit up after hearing this.

There is a minimum age for voting and restrictions on whether you have committed a felony, but there is no maximum age limit.

In other words, even if you are 90 or 100 years old, you can vote as long as you have a clear mind.

Moreover, every time I go to a nursing home, I don't just face those old people.

Children, friends, surrounding residents and the media will be more or less influenced by donations and speeches.

If all 16 companies get donations, the local media reports alone will be the best publicity for Francis and an opportunity to express his thoughts to South Carolina people.

Gerald saw that the smile on Francis' face became wider, and he didn't know that this guy was moved.

As long as they have the opportunity to appear in the media in large numbers, for witnesses like them, there are ways to push their responsibilities out.

Because of the methods of the gray hands and truck drivers, it is also a shameful behavior after all.

When the time is right, stand up for the damaged orange farmers and put pressure on the town police and state police.

Or simply act in front of the camera and leave a few tears.

When they really make some achievements, their mood is released, and the orange farmers who feel that someone is avenging themselves are more likely to support the person who speaks and does things for them.

However, when Francis thought about the virtues of the American police, he pondered for a while without knowing it.

Looking at Gerald, he said, "I need to have a merit that everyone recognizes at a certain time, or you must know better than me the disadvantages of not having any achievements."

Gerald nodded with a smile, but said without answering directly, "The last time I went to the Panda Restaurant, I saw their waiter doing a questionnaire for customers on whether they need freshly squeezed juice."

"That's a very good idea."

Francis laughed, not knowing what Gerald meant.

If sales of oranges in South Carolina are down because of gray hands and truck problems, any order will be precious.

Then get several times more grateful than ever.

After thinking for a few seconds, Francis said, "The newspaper said that there is a panda restaurant in Manhattan that has more than 1,500 customers every day.

Even if other restaurants are halved, wouldn't 161 restaurants have 120,000 customers every day?

As long as one tenth of the people are willing to buy a cup, and a cup only earns 1 dollar, God, how much money do you have to make this year? "

Although Gerrard is not clear about the operation of the entire panda restaurant.

But he himself has 3 franchised restaurants in New York. After thinking about it silently, the number of customers last month seems to be 78,000.

On average, the number of diners in a store exceeds 860 per day, but 40% of them are takeaways.

But even if it is calculated according to one-tenth, it is 86 people, and it seems that they can earn...

Gerald, who was in a hurry, stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the computer and started counting.

The income of more than 94,000 US dollars immediately made Gerald feel that he had to give it a try anyway.

After all, let alone 94,000, even if it was 30,000 US dollars, it would be higher than the salary of a public volunteer.

Gerrard's move made Francis a little puzzled, but he never thought that the entire New York and New Jersey, with 14 and 8 volunteers respectively, were already secret franchisees of Panda Restaurant.

Gerrard's three restaurants alone earned him $180,000 in legal income last year.

Just doing Henry Lee a small favor now is equivalent to being able to join another family.

And as long as you find the operator and employees, you don't have to worry about the rest. Once you have all the people, you can go to a restaurant that can be decorated and semi-finished food can be shipped over with a phone call.

Gerald, who calculated that he could earn an extra US$90,000 a year, saw Francis' smile not only showing no gratitude, but more desire for control.

In addition to the matter of pesticides, in the next year or two, at least at a small price, I can force Francis to support, and even stand on the same front with myself.

Therefore, for the 200,000 proposed by Francis, it was raised to 400,000 US dollars, and Gerald agreed without refuting it.

It's not your own money anyway.

Moreover, he is well versed in the Washington lobbying industry, and he knows very well that when the annual turnover of Panda Restaurant exceeds 230 million US dollars.

Not to mention taking out 400,000 for charity, even 4 million is fine.

Moreover, in addition to being able to deduct part of the tax, just to give back to the society, charity is a must.

Otherwise, there must be the media and their respective charities criticizing Panda Restaurant in the newspapers.

Then they will try their best to force you to donate.

As for who will donate in the end, it depends on the capabilities of the respective foundations.

Not to mention, these charitable funds can also be used to lobby witnesses and formulate policies that are more beneficial to themselves as they are now.

Or cause trouble for competitors.

But Gerald didn't expect that Francis, who thought he was a lion, regretted to death that he didn't counter-offer at all.

He left Gerald's office with a smile on his face, but as soon as he entered the bathroom, Francis looked in the mirror angrily, cursing silently that he was still too timid.

With Henry Lee's net worth and the box office performance of that movie Home Alone, let alone $400,000, $800,000 couldn't be easier.

It's a pity that if you go back on your word now that the deal has been settled, you will really become a sworn enemy.

The thought of Henry Lee not even showing his face, just a letter, made me have to give up the support promised by the Truck Association.

He had to turn his gun around and start counting against the guild and those gray hands. For the first time, Francis really understood how powerful the power of capital can be.
