Since Xie Zihao has already made a plan, Melinda will not say anything more. Many big stars, company executives, and wealthy businessmen and politicians have personal assistants, and many of them have more than one.

The manager is a very important position. In fact, the manager's responsibilities overlap greatly with those of the agent. However, the manager's status is higher than that of the agent. To a certain extent, he can make many business decisions on behalf of the employer.

, and the broker can only provide his or her own opinions and help bridge the gap for the employer, and cannot sign and make decisions on behalf of the employer.

Therefore, when choosing a professional manager, you must be someone you trust.

Xie Zihao deliberately chose Walton. Firstly, because this guy has good abilities and is currently in a difficult situation. Now extending a helping hand will make Walton more grateful to him. Secondly, he also senses this guy through observation.

The emotional color of the real estate agent in 2016 shows that his personality is relatively rule-abiding and trustworthy. People who have a bottom line are certainly more trustworthy to use than those who are greedy and have evil intentions.

Unfortunately, in the White Eagle Federation, a society that puts interests first and does not follow morality, people like the latter belong to the majority. It is really not easy to find a capable but ethical person.

But many people are not the kind of treacherous and evil people, and it is not easy for them to control those people to do things for themselves.

Although his strength is now strong enough to ignore some threats, Xie Zihao always sticks to his heart, remains vigilant, and is not prepared to rely on his ability to act recklessly.

Because a practitioner who cannot control his own heart will only harm others and himself in the end, and the possibility of falling into the devil's path is extremely high.

Back at the office, Xie Zihao dialed the number of Senator Assistant Carmen.

In fact, if he could find the connections between his junior brothers Wei Dake and Mike Binns, he should be able to accomplish this matter.

But whether it is Wei Dake or the Special Investigation Bureau, they are separated from the local government by one layer. They probably have to go through several layers of relationships before they can pass the message to Orange County. They did not directly go through Senator Mendoza.

The relationship comes easily.

After all, the Mendoza family is a local leader in Golden State and a long-established political family. Some things are really just a matter of one sentence. As for how much exchange of interests there is, it has nothing to do with him thanking someone. What he used

It's just a favor that the Mendoza family owes them.

And although he is not very good at dealing with human relationships, he also knows in his heart that the exchange of human relationships needs to come and go in order to be more reliable.

He also needs to make the Mendoza family feel that he needs them, and not let the other party only owe him a favor, but he has no need for the Mendoza family at all.

In such a situation, it will be impossible for the relationship to last long in the future.

Sure enough, Carmen's tone was very enthusiastic when she received the call. After hearing what Xie Zihao said about him, she immediately said:

"Lance, I can't make the decision on this matter. I need to ask Mr. Senator for permission, but I don't think Mr. Senator will refuse."

Then Xie Zihao hung up the phone, and the caller called back after a while.

This time he had a phone call with Senator Mendoza, whom he had never met before.

Although it was only a short exchange, Xie Zihao could still tell from the other party's tone that the senator was very courteous and corporal, indicating that the other party valued him.

That means that although Mendoza didn't guarantee it, what he said would most likely come true.

Sure enough, Carmen called him in advance the next day to arrange a meeting. After he had just signed the transaction contract with his lawyer John Zhou, David Stevenson and the other party's lawyer at the firm, the senator

The assistant came to the door in person.

After chatting with Xie Zihao and Melinda, Carmen talked about Dean again, and then got down to business:

"Mr. Senator is afraid that something might go wrong if you come here rashly, Lance, so you asked me to come over and help you introduce some gentlemen from Orange County."

Xie Zihao certainly felt that Senator Mendoza's arrangement was very considerate.

"Thank you Carmen, please help me express my gratitude to Mr. Mendoza."

The two of them greeted Melinda and went out together, rushing to the Orange County Government Office and meeting up with Tom Walton, who was already waiting here.

Then at noon, we met several Orange County government officials introduced by Mendoza in a private room of a nearby high-end restaurant.

The administrative structure of the White Eagle Federation is from the federal government to the state government to the county government, and then to the cities and towns in each county.

This is quite different from that in the East. In the federation, administrative units such as counties or counties are larger than cities. The scope of many counties includes many cities and villages below, which is between states and large and small cities.

of a buffer.

But it is worth mentioning that in the federation, local governments are not managed by higher-level governments, and they are not responsible to higher-level governments. There is no problem of superiors managing subordinates, and superiors have no authority to evaluate, appoint or remove subordinates, and there are no superior functions.

The department provides vertical leadership or guidance to its subordinate departments.

Of course, departments like the Investigation Bureau and the local police department’s personnel appointment, dismissal and management of branch offices are still similar to those in Dongguo. However, the chief of the city police department cannot control the officers of the county police department, and neither can the state police department.

Manage county police, city police and township sheriffs.

So strictly speaking, as a senator, Mendoza cannot directly manage Orange County officials.

In addition, usually county governments in federal states are also responsible for the registration and management of local businesses, land, houses, license plates, driver's licenses, etc., as well as the collection of local taxes. The county government is equivalent to the industrial and commercial bureau and local tax bureau of Dongguo.

The functions of the Real Estate Management Bureau, Transportation Management Bureau and other departments.

Although some states in the federation have established administrative units at the county level, they have not established county governments for some reasons. In these areas that lack county governments, county government functions are generally undertaken by lower-level towns or municipal governments.

Therefore, within Orange County, if you want to purchase land, you must deal with the county government.

Because the power of the county government is granted by the state government, and the Mendoza family has strong influence in the Golden State, especially the Lower Golden State, these officials in Orange County are certainly willing to give Senator Mendoza face.

After meeting the young man Xie Zihao and learning that he was a new Hollywood movie star, the attitudes of these people became enthusiastic.

For a federal politician, someone who can have connections as a senator and is also a wealthy and influential star is undoubtedly the person they need to make friends with.

It doesn't matter if they are fawning over them, but being friendly with them will definitely bring certain benefits to their political future. Therefore, these old officials are of course very considerate, and the two sides get along very harmoniously for a while.

After a lunch, things were basically settled.

In two days, Orange County will put forward a proposal to sell several pieces of land to the public. Of course, only a few people will know the news. In this operation, Xie Zihao must have bought the land where the lake is located, which is connected to the foothill pasture.

one slice.

As for the specific land area and price to be sold, it was left to Tom Walton, Xie Zihao's temporary assistant, and his lawyer John Zhou to negotiate with the person in charge of the specific project at the county government. Xie Zihao and

Several officials just met today to decide on the general direction of the matter.

In return for this, Xie Zihao needs to support a charity event initiated by Orange County for a period of time.

And at Carmen's private suggestion, Xie Zihao also took the initiative to donate to several agencies of the county government to improve the working environment of county government employees and replace old facilities. The money was not much, adding up to only one hundred thousand pounds.

That's all.

As for how much of the money was used for business, he didn't need to delve into it.

This move satisfied several county government officials.

As a celebrity, it is only a small thing to help with charity activities, and it is also a good thing that will help his reputation. Of course, Xie Zihao readily agreed.

After leaving Orange County, he couldn't help but lament that as long as you have money, power, and connections in the Federation, it's so easy to get things done.
