Chapter 62: Elections and Security
After sending away the two brothers Eli and Ebo, it suddenly became a lot deserted. Only Kaos, Lin Yifei and Logan were left. Although they still got together from time to time, the excitement was not the same.
A lot has disappeared.
In addition to taking classes every day, Lin Yifei practices dance with her mother Lin Xiaoli. She lives a very relaxed and happy life, especially now that she is still young and has no pressure in life at all.
On the contrary, Logan was very worried. Among the brothers, Kaos had a career and became a millionaire, and his future development was naturally very clear.
Although brothers Eli and Ebo don't know their own choices, they have a future direction and are working hard to move forward.
But that was not the case for him. He was about to turn eighteen and become an adult, but Logan didn't know what he wanted to do in the future.
"Why, are you still worried about what career you will have in the future?"
On the open-air balcony above the high-rise building in the city, Kaos looked at the worried look of Logan next to him and asked with a smile.
"Yes, at least choose an industry, otherwise I won't even know which university to attend next year."
Lying on the guardrail, Logan felt a little worried. He scratched his head lightly with his fingers and sighed as he looked at the event downstairs, where Jess Jones was working hard to pull out votes.
"Thinking about it slowly, if you really can't major in business management, you can go to my company to help. Or consider developing and expanding the clothing store in your home. These are some ways out. Anyway, as long as it is an industry you like or are interested in, you can
good."
Regarding Logan's future, Kaos can't give him much advice. After all, it's everyone's own private matter. It's not appropriate to make the final decision by yourself. I can only say that no matter what happens in the end, Kaos will support him.
other side.
After comforting Logan, Kaos also looked downstairs, where his father Jess spoke into the microphone on the large podium, constantly promoting some of his political ideas and gaining votes for the election of state legislators.
Elections in the United States require a lot of political representation, but they are also a game of money. After all, not every local voter will vote.
At this time, the more channels each of them can promote, the more people they can know about themselves and the more votes they can attract for office, and naturally the chances of being successfully elected will be much higher.
Although this does not mean that poor people in the United States cannot be congressmen and participate in politics, but after the channels of publicity are restricted and they are unequal, the chances of the rich being elected successfully are unmatched by the poor.
Take Jess for example. Although it is his first time to participate, with the help of the think tank and the financial sponsorship from Kaos, he is now a popular candidate this time. If there are basically no accidents, he will be elected to the New York State Assembly.
It is already a sure thing.
After some time has passed, some reputation and qualifications have been accumulated, and then you can climb up again and consider the positions of governor and senator.
As for the position of the future commander-in-chief, Kaos has no interest at all. Instead, he has some thoughts about letting his father enter the commander-in-chief's cabinet.
Compared with some of the troubles of the general, on the contrary, the cabinet members can get a lot of benefits, but also hide themselves very low-key behind the scenes, and are not easy to be noticed and hated. This is what many members of large consortiums like.
What you are doing.
Including top families such as Rockefeller and Morgan, some of their families have entered the cabinet, but no one has chosen to run for the leadership.
Not only the Chinese but also the Westerners understand the principle of "shooting the first bird". People with real identity and status hide themselves deeply. Instead, they push out the vests of their subordinates and let them rush to the front to attract firepower.
.
But every time, the biggest profits are actually pocketed by these big guys behind the scenes.
Compared with these hidden conglomerate forces, those on the Forbes list of the world's richest people in future generations are probably just little brothers.
"Ah...the election is so boring."
After watching for a long time, she just listened to Kaos's father giving speeches continuously. Lin Yifei, who had no interest in it at all, was already bored and breathed out listlessly.
"Who asked you to come here? I should have told you that there is nothing interesting here."
Withdrawing his free thoughts, Kaos lovingly touched Lin Yifei's head and said, "Okay, there is a horse farm nearby. Let's go there to play in a while."
"Horse riding! Okay, I haven't ridden a horse yet."
Rubbing her forehead, Lin Yifei showed excitement on her face and nodded excitedly.
Looking at Lin Yifei's appearance, Kaos smiled and turned to look at secretary Lin Zhiling who was walking not far away. He nodded gently. The other party understood very well and immediately turned around and left to notify the driver and bodyguards.
As his net worth becomes richer, Kaos pays more attention and does his best to protect his own safety.
To this end, we purchased a large area in California and established the Kaos Jones Security Company, which belongs exclusively to Kaos. Relying on Eli's father's relationship, we recruited many outstanding veterans who had participated in wars in the Middle East and other places.
Soldiers, the most outstanding of whom are more than a dozen members who originally belonged to Delta Force.
Although the SEALs are the most famous special forces in the United States in later generations, the SEALs are actually better at offense, underwater combat, demining and other work. As for protection work, there are also sudden anti-terrorist attacks, but the Delta
The troops are better at it.
Although there are a lot of special forces who retire from the army every year, the best among them are extremely rare, and they are even talents that various forces are vying for. For this small team of bodyguards, Kaos even offers a salary every year.
Salaries of $1.3 million each.
This number seems to be a lot, but it is only more than twice and nearly three times the salary of these people when they served in the past. After all, if they choose to do some more dangerous jobs, then they are likely to earn this money easily.
However, in comparison, working for a rich man like Kaos, they will be exposed to much less dangerous things, and there will be gains for each other.
There are only a dozen members of the Delta, and most of them serve as personal protection for Kaos when he goes out. As for the outside, there are actually more than a dozen ordinary bodyguards to carry out some peripheral security and necessary support work.
In one year, Kaos will spend more than 50 million US dollars on various expenses such as personnel and equipment.
Speaking of which, Kaos has to praise the system used by the charity foundation. Yes, these expenses are recorded in the 5% of the annual expenditures of the charity foundation. Otherwise, Kaos would not be like this.
Be willing to spend money.
