In fact, what Feng Yiping didn't know was that Governor Shi was more powerful than he knew.

Today, Governor Shi not only finds ways to get voters to put pressure on California's congressmen, but he himself is also in action.

However, he was not looking for the House of Representatives, he was looking for the Senate.

Because California has 53 members of the House of Representatives in the Congress, while the Senate has only two.

These two California senators are all senior senators, and they have been speaking for California in Congress since 1992.

Both senators belong to the Democratic Party.

The two senators are still women.

This is the first time in the 50 states in the United States that two women represent a state in the Senate.

Therefore, this pair of female senators in California has been dubbed by many people as "the end of the wild flower" or "the police flower partner."

From these two jokes, we can see that everyone is waiting to see the excitement.

Because generally we all know that a two-person team is inherently unstable, and if the two-person team is all composed of women, then how can there be less good drama?

But those with such thoughts are still disappointed.

Although the two female partners sometimes disagree, at least from the outside, they have always cooperated very well.

Of these two, one of them is Barbara Boxer. In 1983, she was successfully elected to the California Federal House of Representatives, and she became the fifth term. Ten years later, she was successfully elected to the California Federal Senate.

He is currently chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, member of the Foreign Relations Committee, Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee, and Special Committee on Ethics.

Relatively speaking, we will be more familiar with another female senator, Diane Feinstein, and a Chinese name called Fan Shidan. She was elected as the first female mayor of San Francisco in 1978, and so far, the only woman in San Francisco. A female mayor of.

During her ten-year tenure as the mayor of San Francisco, she has led many delegations to visit China and met many domestic heavyweight politicians. Together with her banker husband’s partnership, she has multiple investments in China. , She was considered pro-Chinese.

Whether it is really pro-China, it’s hard to say, but her husband’s investment in China is indeed very profitable. Therefore, she ranks fifth in the list of rich people on Capitol Hill.

This power in the Senate is relatively greater. She is currently the chairman of the Senate Special Intelligence Committee and is the kind of person who can point fingers at the CIA.

She is also a member of the Appropriation Committee, Judicial Committee, Rules and Administration Committee.

And Governor Shi was the first to find Senator Fan Shidan.

…………

North of San Francisco, near the former military base Psidi (the base of the movie Psidi base starring the former 007 actors Sean Connery and Meg Ryan), a traditional rich area near the former military base. This rich area The most distinctive feature is the oval street in the central area.

Because of the safety of this design, many of San Francisco's rich and powerful have chosen to buy properties here. For example, one of Fan Shidan's neighbors is Grandma Pelosi.

——By the way, a few years later, the iconic oval street in this wealthy district where the powers and dignitaries gather was bought by a Chinese couple.

Because of these dignitaries, for various reasons, they have not paid county property taxes for 30 years.

That is, everything on that street, from the road to the flower beds, green plants, trees, and parking spaces along the road, as well as the stone fence surrounding the community built for safety, belong to the Chinese couple.

In other words, if they don't give face, they can really buy the road money in a fair way. That's ok, you can take a helicopter!

At this time, in the middle of the visit to the electorate, I went home for a while to rest-in fact, Congressman Fan Shidan, who was resting at home, had received a call from the Capitol Hill office.

She understood what was going on as soon as she received the call.

This must be the young Chinese man in action. It is an excuse not to support Tesla. This is a card he played because he did not explicitly support him on Android.

The problem is, it's not that I don't support you, although you have always supported me in the past.

It’s just that, since the current Wall Street bids are relatively high, why don’t I just take it?

The so-called pro-Chinese and anti-Chinese, in fact, do not exist.

These politicians are firm pragmatists. They don't care about their positions at all. They only see interest.

However, when she learned that Feng Yiping made such a big noise all at once, she regretted it a little bit at this time. She knew he would play this card a long time ago. Then I should clearly support his Android at the beginning.

Because she supported him, he will naturally support her, although the strength of support may be smaller.

Because Feng Yiping's Tesla was not supported by anyone.

She is also very clear about the meaning of Musk's sentence. That sentence actually says that if you don't support Android next, then I will say you don't support Tesla.

They can naturally stand up and say that we unconditionally support Tesla.

But in such matters, voters will obviously support Tesla's statement more, because all voters know that it is not unusual for lawmakers to face one set behind the other.

So, what should I do now?

Fan Shidan, who is still wearing pajamas, looks in the direction of Silicon Valley. Perhaps it is a good idea to visit Tesla?

She immediately felt that this was a good idea, and she felt that she should go if she said it, and go now.

As she walked upstairs, she told her assistant, "Contact Tesla immediately, I think today..."

The phone rang again. As soon as she saw the phone, she stopped immediately, and said impatiently, "Mr. Governor,"

She was really upset that Schwarzenegger came to bother her at this time, and when she saw the phone, she suddenly had a clear understanding. The excitement today may not really be instigated by Mr. Feng. Probably the muscular former action film actor.

Then she felt that her opinion must be right.

She knows too well how positive this governor, who has done nothing economically, and whose state budget deficit is getting bigger and bigger, should be more positive after hearing those two statistics.

So, she guessed at once what Schwarzenegger wanted to talk to herself.

"Diane," Schwarzenegger heard Fan Shidan's upset.

But do you think I’ll feel good when I call you?

A strange thing is that although we all know that of the two parties in the United States, the Democratic Party mainly represents the middle class and the poor, while the Republican Party mainly represents the bourgeoisie and conservatives. To put it simply, the Democratic Party is the poor. The party, the Republican Party is the party of the rich.

Regardless of what California thinks, it is a golden state that has little to do with the poor. However, since the 1990s, that is, since the two senators of California were elected by Democrats, California has always been the world of Democrats.

Obviously, this is naturally not good news for him, the Republican governor.

Let alone let these guys, according to their own wishes, strive for more benefits for California and themselves from the Commonwealth. It is often some of their very good measures that have been repeatedly rejected by them.

The point is, he can't help them.

How depressed are you saying this?

Frankly speaking, if it weren’t for Musk’s big mouth and clearly told so many people that the California congressman did not support Tesla enough, and he very much hoped that Tesla could settle in California, he would not give him Several grandson’s old politicians called.

Because of the same upset, what he said is naturally not very pleasant. "Diane, I don’t care what you want to do with other people’s interests in California. I hope you will firmly support California on this Tesla project. ,"

But frankly speaking, the exchanges between them are like the exchanges between Pelosi and Bush Jr. They have never been cordial and comfortable, so these words of him did not make Van Shidan feel very upset.

"This once again confirms everyone's judgment. As expected, Hollywood is more suitable for you. I said, can't you see that this is the method that businessmen use to bargain?" Fan Shidan said.

"Who doesn't know my position on environmental protection? Who doesn't know that I support the development of the green energy industry? Who doesn't know that I always take the promotion of California's interests as my own responsibility? Who doesn't know..."

"Stop~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Governor Shi really interrupted her to save face, "This is our private conversation, and I am not your voter. I don't have time to listen to your clichés? "

"Position? Is there anyone with a stand on Capitol Hill?"

"Environmental protection? Did you forget that you resolutely rejected our project to build a solar power plant in the Mojave Desert?" Governor Shi's voice became louder.

The Mojave Desert is a barren land with an area of ​​65,000 square kilometers in southern California. There were originally many companies hoping to build solar or wind power generation facilities on this desert.

This is also a project he is pushing hard, but those projects have been resolutely resisted by Fan Shidan, because those plans "will cause major harm to the tortoise community in the area, which will destroy the entire Mojave Desert ecosystem,"

California is such a wonderful place. It is legal to grow marijuana, but it is illegal to raise goldfish in a glass tank, because it is so inhumane.

"I reiterate that the Mojave Desert should be permanently protected," Fan Shidan said.

"Did you stay in Washington for too long, so you became a member of the Washington circle?" Schwarzenegger said, "You tell me, if the desert is not suitable for building solar power plants, then where else can they be built? "

The last thing a congressman wants to hear is the term "people in Washington circles", because that is alluding that she has left her voters.

"I still have important work to deal with, and I don't have time to entangle you with these," Fan Shidan said.

"Me too," Schwarzenegger tit-for-tat, "I will let everyone know who does not support projects like Tesla."
