Chapter 892 "4" Political Supernova! Zu Ge's First Step on the Road to the Presidency—A Member of the House of Representatives! A Easy Success!
One month later,
In September, as autumn arrived, New York welcomed the Atlantic breeze, making it much cooler.

The Republican Committee building in New York.

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed down, passing through the corridor and falling on Guan Zu.

Wearing a sharp dark blue suit and clutching a stack of documents tightly in his hand, Guan Zu strode confidently into the office of Zhao Xiaonan, the New York chairman.

She possesses a sunny and charming temperament, a calm and composed demeanor, and wisdom and confidence.

Wherever it goes, it always attracts the attention of most people.

"Guan~~~ I recently heard that your family's property management is doing very well!"

"Guan, you're amazing!"

"Guan~~~Would you be interested in joining my party this weekend?"

Young Republicans greeted him warmly and extended invitations, and even the older senior officials couldn't help but pay more attention to Guan Zu.

The reason for all of this lies in the booming development of "family property".

After being assassinated last month, Li Jiayuan, the person in charge of "Happiness Property", announced that he would take a year off to recuperate.

then……

Happiness Property Management is in chaos.

This month has been filled with anxiety, power struggles among the top management, confusion and disarray among the middle management, and chaotic execution at the bottom.

Then, for some unknown reason, a large number of employees from "Happy Property" resigned and joined "Family Property," which rapidly expanded its territory, and a large number of community residents joined "Family Property."

This expansion was not only rapid, but also orderly, harmonious, friendly, and positive.

This is completely different from the various "XX properties" that the Republican Party copied in the past.

Everyone at the Republican New York branch realized that, following "Umbrella Property" and "Happy Property," a third real property management company had emerged!

then,

Kwan Cho (Kwan Man-lung), the owner of "Family Property", suddenly became a rising Republican superstar!
His status skyrocketed!
It's time to sit down and eat!
He's no longer a young man worth nurturing!

Rather, he is a Republican ally worth courting!

Guan Zu arrived at Zhao Xiaonan's office door.

Knock knock knock~~
Knock on the door,

Chairman Zhao!

"I've come to report to you on the achievements of my family's property management over the past month."

"Come in."

Push the door open and go in.

Zhao Xiaonan looked up, signing a document in her hand.

She saw Guan Zu's tired face and smiled, "Please sit down. You must be very busy lately?"

Guan Zu smiled and said, "Not busy at all, I feel full of passion!"

"Our family property has experienced explosive growth. The number of employees has surged from a few hundred to 8000!"

“Looking at the property coverage, it has expanded from one community at the time of opening to 18 communities in New York. Most of these communities were previously the territory of Happiness Property, and now we have successfully captured 20% of Happiness Property’s business in New York.”

"Since the assassination of the head of Xingfu Property Management, there has been widespread panic, and the quality of service has declined sharply. We seized this opportunity to recruit a large number of Xingfu Property Management employees and at the same time re-engage with the community residents..."

"and,"

Guan Zu's voice rose.

"And here's the most exciting news! I arranged for a poll, and the poll conducted in the communities we cover shows that 80% of people support the Republican Party! Many residents said that because of the services provided by their family property management, they have begun to see the Republican Party in a new light and feel that we are a party that truly cares about the people."

"what?"

Zhao Xiaonan suddenly stood up.

"Really?"

"It's true. The host can arrange for someone to re-verify it."

"Hahaha~~~Good! Good! Good!!"

"Ah Long, you have brought us fantastic news! This is not only a success for your family's property, but also a huge victory for our Republican Party!"

Zhao Xiaonan was overjoyed.

The Republican Party has run property management companies before, spending money like water, investing hundreds of millions of dollars.

And the result?

After receiving the money, the citizens immediately turned their backs on them.

So it failed every time.

Unexpectedly, Guan Zu succeeded!

Guan Zu humbly said, "This is all thanks to the support of the chairman and the Republican Party. Without your trust and guidance, Family Property could not have achieved what it has today!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaonan looked at Guan Zu.

Sunlight shone on Guan Zu, what a charming young man he was, full of confidence and vitality, with an extraordinary demeanor and radiant sunshine!

She couldn't help but think of her nephew, Zhao Landi.

Perhaps it was the death of his nephew that caused his close friend, Kwan Cho (Kwan Man-lung), to change so drastically.

Therefore,
We must support them!

Give them strong support!

Zhao Xiaonan: "How much money is left in 'Family Property'? Is it enough?"

Guan Zu said, "The money is being spent very quickly, and it's already not enough."

Zhao Xiaonan: "Should we invest...?"

Kuan Tsu-ch'ai solemnly stated: "The 'Family Property' is Republican property, and I warmly welcome Republican veterans to invest!"

Zhao Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction.

If Family Property had relied solely on Kwan Tsu's $8000 million, it would have been impossible for it to continue its rapid expansion and take over Happiness Property.

Therefore, we need a lot of money and to bring in a lot of investment.

This would require Guan Zu to sacrifice his shares in "Family Property," but Guan Zu would also receive a large amount of cash or in exchange for shares.

"Okay, I will submit the suggestion to my superiors. Please wait patiently..."

"Thank you, Chairman Zhao!"

……

……

On the same day,

Zhao Xiaonan dispatched a team to the community where "Family Property" was located to conduct a questionnaire survey—"If you were asked to vote for Republican Bush, would you?" Most residents chose "yes".

After the data is compiled,
Zhao Xiaonan quickly reported to the leader of the Republican Party... well, her Hazbin.

the next day,
The Republican headquarters in Washington dispatched yet another investigative team to New York to investigate the "family property."

The survey results are very encouraging!
Rapid expansion!
High approval rating!

The leader was overjoyed; the Republican Party finally had its own "happiness, umbrella property"!

Without hesitation, the first sum of $1 million was delivered to Guan Zu, who received a 10% stake in the company. This was the leader's private capital.

……

……

A new day,
The New York Republican Committee building,

Zhao Xiaonan's office.

Knock knock knock~~~~
There was a gentle knock on the office door.

"Please come in." Zhao Xiaonan didn't even look up, still organizing the latest report on her family's property.

The secretary pushed open the door, holding a stack of documents in her hands:
"Chairman Zhao, our Republican primary candidate list is out."

As he spoke, he quickly walked to Zhao Xiaonan's desk and handed her the documents.

在2004年，纽约州众议院选举的初选日为9月14日，普选日在11月2日。

Currently, the primary election list has not been officially finalized, and the parties have not yet submitted their lists.

Zhao Xiaonan took the list and quickly scanned the names on it.

For some reason, Guan Zu's image suddenly flashed through Zhao Xiaonan's mind.

Over the past month, under Guan Zu's leadership, the family property management has achieved remarkable results, becoming a powerful calling card for the Republican Party.

This contribution deserves a reward!

"Guan Wenlong..."

If Kwan Cho (Kwan Man-lung) can be included in the New York House primary list, he will surely be elected and become a New York State legislator.

With that in mind, Zhao Xiaonan picked up the phone and dialed the number of a high-ranking party official in charge of election affairs.

"I am Zhao Xiaonan. I have an important suggestion regarding the primary candidates for the New York State Assembly election. I believe we should include Guan Wenlong. His contributions to the Republican Party are evident to all, and the current momentum of his family's property development is enough to prove that he is capable of fighting for more benefits for our Republican Party on the political stage."

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Chairman Zhao, the primary election list is already out, I'm afraid it can't be changed. It needs to be sent to the House of Representatives Election Committee the day after tomorrow..."

Zhao Xiaonan: "No, it can be changed. We can collect 500 voter signatures in the shortest possible time to meet the signature requirement for the New York State Assembly candidate. Guan Zu's appeal in the community makes this not difficult... As soon as possible! I hope he can continue to rise and become our Republican superstar!"

The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Okay, I'll take care of it right away."

Zhao Xiaonan revealed a satisfied smile.

……

The next day, Guan Zu successfully obtained 500 signatures from voters.
Without saying a word, Zhao Xiaonan put Guan Zu on the Republican Party's list, signed it, and sent the list to the House Election Committee.

After you've done that, call Guan Zu and tell him the good news.

……

At this time,
Where is Guan Yu?
He flew to Boston.

This trip is to Harvard University to invest in Facebook.

He doesn't want to manage things, but he's willing to invest in them.

Guan Zu hung up the phone.

"You want me to run for state representative?"

"It seems... I might have to try being president."

Guan Zu's smile is so wicked!
……

……

In September in Boston, sunlight streamed through the windows of room 307 in Kirkland House at Harvard University, falling on a desk strewn with pizza boxes and laptops.

Mark Zuckerberg, wearing an old T-shirt with "Harvard Computer Society" printed on it, sat cross-legged in a chair, with the monitor in front of him displaying "TheFacebook" backend data.

The number of users has exceeded 3, covering 8 Ivy League schools.

but……

This startup team also fell into an economic crisis.

“Peter Thiel’s people just sent an email,” Eduardo Saverin pushed up his glasses and turned his laptop toward the crowd.

"He was willing to invest $50, but demanded a 10% stake."

The dormitory fell silent instantly.

Dustin Moskowitz was biting into a sandwich when he heard this and almost choked.

The mug in Chris Hughes's hand stopped in mid-air;
Andrew McCormack sat up straight from the bed piled high with code papers.

"10%?" Zuckerberg, a greedy man, frowned. "Our current valuation has been reduced to $500 million?"

"In two months, once we've covered all the top 50 universities in the US, our valuation will at least increase fivefold. Accepting this investment now would be a huge loss!"

Saverin, acting as the 'financial manager,' shook his head: 'Our current server rental costs $2000 per month. Next, we need to access schools around New York and California, and we also need to rent new servers... $50 can indeed solve our immediate problem.'

"And then there's Sean Parker. He said he could help us connect with venture capitalists in Silicon Valley, but it'll take at least a month. In that month, what if the servers crash, or a competitor tries to take over the market..."

"Our development has already attracted a lot of attention, and many large companies have already produced numerous copies..."

"But 10% of the shares is too much."

The murmurs in the dormitory subsided.

Since the website went live on February 4th, the five-person team has been crammed into a 15-square-meter dormitory room, surviving on pizza and instant noodles. The computer runs day and night, and they even have to carefully budget for the money to buy a new keyboard.

“50 yuan can not only cover the rent and buy servers, but also hire two full-time programmers—I can hardly handle the backend maintenance by myself.”

"Although losing 10% of the shares is painful, Peter Thiel's resources are more important than money. His connections at PayPal can help us connect to the payment system, which will be useful for future membership services or advertising monetization."

Zuckerberg paused for a moment, then thought for a moment: "Okay, agree to it. But add a clause—if we reach 100 million users within 6 months, the valuation will be readjusted. Also, after the $50 arrives, the first payment will be used to rent an office, the second to buy servers, and the third to hire people..."

Upon hearing this, everyone became happy.

With the investment, they finally didn't have to stay in this wretched place anymore.

Just then, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

"Excuse me, is Mark Zuckerberg here?"

Angel investor... Kwan Cho (Kwan Man-lung) has arrived.
