Chapter 458: 170, confident and strategic, Lin Mo!_1
Clinton Hamilton is now in the lilight; her news can be seen almost everywhere, whether on television or on the internet.
Her public image is crafted impeccably,
the great female protagonist, highly capable, with a harmonious family, stable emotions, strong affinity…
Not to ntion the Arican public, who are brainwashed year-round, even voters from less developed nations would think she is the most suitable candidate for Duke after hearing her life story and resu.
So when they heard this na, everyone at the dinner table who had been excited quickly cald down.
Indeed,
now Johnson Foster is just one step away from becoming the Duke.
But this one step will face challenges and crises that are several tis, even dozens of tis greater than before.
Li Jinwen had a sudden idea and tentatively said, “Honey, can we try to communicate with Hamilton? It would definitely be easier to help her beco the Duke.”
“After all, we’re not asking for many benefits, just hoping that she can help us solve so troubles after becoming the Duke.”
The others nodded in deep agreent.
Li Jinshan added, “We wouldn’t have gotten Hamilton’s attention directly in the past, but son, what you did tonight has already proven your strength, and I think unless she’s particularly arrogant, she should not reject your help.”
That was indeed the case,
having single-handedly persuaded the largest arms dealer in Arica, the Bryan Family, to give up the competition for Duke, was a feat worthy of Clinton Hamilton’s serious consideration.
On his way back, Lin Mo had also thought about this approach.
Tis have changed.
In the two years of preparation, Lin Mo had collected too many secrets and pieces of intelligence about the Arican elite.
Johnson Hester would be interested in this intelligence, and so would Clinton Hamilton.
But Lin Mo also considered another possibility.
He said, “This proposal is indeed good, but have you considered that Chen Shanhe almost has control over the entire Japan.”
“Given the special relationship between Japan and Arica, he must be paying attention to the Duke competition in Arica. Moreover, knowing that Clinton Hamilton has a very high chance of winning, it’s even less likely that he hasn’t made contact with the Clinton family.”
“If he has already made contact before us and we approach Hamilton, even telling her that we want to deal with Chen Shanhe, what do you think she will choose?”
As soon as this was ntioned, the family fell silent.
However powerful Lin Mo may be as an individual, Chen Shanhe is backed by an entire nation.
Japan may appear submissive and modest as a grandson before Arica, but in the end, it’s still a substantial entity.
If Japan really toughens up, it would be quite uncomfortable for Arica,
and not sothing they can simply fight.
Hence, for Clinton Hamilton, no matter how great Lin Mo’s abilities and tactics might be, they could never compare to the importance of a nation.
After a long silence, Lin Changshui broke the silence and asked, “So, son, do you have any solutions?”
When Lin Mo started planning to interfere with the Duke competition two years ago, he had already thought about this problem, and how to deal with Clinton Hamilton was also the longest-standing dilemma that troubled him.
He smiled and answered, “Just relax at ho and enjoy the show; I will handle this matter. As for the thod, it’s confidential for now.”
“It’s not that I’m deliberately keeping you in suspense; it’s just that many things won’t work if I disclose them now.”
Hearing him say this, the family did not press any further.
However, based on their understanding of Lin Mo, if he said he had a solution, then it certainly wasn’t empty talk.
This reassured the family considerably.
….
In the eting room of Johnson Tower,
“President, your approval rating has reached 30%!”
“32% now!”
“With just another 10% increase, you will firmly beco the Liberal Party’s winner!”
More than a dozen core family mbers were ceaselessly tracking the updates of Johnson Foster’s votes.
Although Johnson Foster hadn’t slept all night, he was not tired at all now.
Far too excited!
Johnson Foster never dread that simply participating in the election on a whim would actually lead him this far.
First in the Liberal Party’s votes!
Such an honor, unheard of in the Johnson family, was sothing that even many notable families had never possessed.
To have co this far for Johnson Foster was already a great miracle.
Worth it!
Even if he ultimately couldn’t defeat Clinton Hamilton, it was still absolutely worth it!
“40%….42.2%!!!”
“Congratulations, President, for securing over 42% of the votes and officially becoming the Liberal Party candidate!”
“Your voting rate is a record that no one in the Liberal Party has achieved in nearly 30 years!”
Applause thundered in the eting room like rolling thunder; all mbers of the Johnson family were extrely excited and thrilled.
Before, they were just wealthy, leading respectable lives but still subjected to controls and pressures from various powerful individuals.
But things would be different now. With Johnson Foster becoming the Liberal Party candidate, their family would be the powerful ones, and their status in both the marketplace and the political field would be significantly elevated.
When one ascends to the heavens, even the dogs and chickens rise with him.
Johnson Foster was not completely blinded by joy; he was acutely aware of how his position was achieved.
