Writing Web Novels In America-Chapter 309 - 312: Extra!

Texas, Governor’s office.

George Bush had just hung up the phone and immediately turned on his computer.

The Asian bestselling author had just called, saying that things were getting a bit out of control and that he needed to pick up the pace.

The tweets indeed proved this.

"In the era of Diana’s memoir, the United States was already being mocked by the whole world! Now? The facts prove that everything others said was right!"

"The Hugo Award even went to Wang Jian, which is the most orthodox science fiction award! Under such circumstances, should restrictions still be enforced?"

"The most critical issue is that even France is using factual evidence to laugh at us! Mind you, that’s the French!"

Alright, he had only considered the political and media aspects, not the reaction of the literary world.

Of course, another important point was that he didn’t quite understand Silicon Valley.

"Larry Elson..." Bush stared at the computer screen, rubbing his forehead in agony.

When he ran for Governor, he used all his might just to raise less than twenty million US Dollars.

But just for these readers, just providing transportation, food, and lodging costs millions of US Dollars!

On the one hand, this proved the correctness of wooing those Silicon Valley tycoons.

After all, it had only taken them a few years to accumulate the wealth that traditional industries took generations to amass.

This directly led to them being much more generous than those ’old money’ families.

But on the other hand, it also increased the difficulty of his next move.

"Generally, political rallies with a purpose need a long time to raise funds."

"But you’ve only used one day?"

At this moment, Bush envied his Democrat colleagues immensely.

Not only because Silicon Valley largely supported the Democrat Party.

But also because they had a wealth of media resources and didn’t need to wait for a chance to speak, like he did.

"Not to give away any hints to those with ulterior motives, but also not to fall behind the protests."

In the eyes of the general public, whether you make a statement before or after a protest doesn’t matter.

But for politicians, there is a great difference.

"If I can show the party elders my political sensitivity, I can gain more support!" Bush mumbled to himself.

But according to the original plan, it was definitely too late.

And if he delayed any further without mentioning the protest, that bestselling author might not have the patience to wait.

Through some time of contact, he found the other party to be more like a businessman than an author. freёnovelkiss.com

And, moreover, a Wall Street hyena to the core, supremely concerned with profits.

If it weren’t for the fear of pushing him to actually support the passage of the proposal, Wang Jian might very well stab him in the back.

Now, he had already gained the prestige he ought to have.

And the influence of a Governor of Texas on a New York tycoon could be negligible.

"That Maine congressman has already been transferred to Texas," Bush picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"No one from the Democrat Party will likely come out in support of the proposal now!"

Was he to sacrifice another staunch supporter aside from Rice?

Bush absentmindedly scrolled his mouse while weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

Suddenly, he found a verified account on Twitter making grandiose statements.

"The House of Representatives has finally made a wise decision, preparing to ban that bestselling author from recklessly altering history!"

"But that’s not enough! Twitter should also be taken away from his hands!"

"Every media tool should be in the hands of our own people!"

"I think I am a good choice. I am going to submit a proposal next!"

Uh...

Bush watched these tweets in astonishment.

But moments later, he ignored the book fans who were arguing and cursing at that account and picked up the phone.

"Father, this is George."

"Could you help me look into the influence of real estate mogul Donald within the party?"

...

And at this moment, in Long Island, New York.

The legendary journalist Wood had just hung up the phone from Wang Jian.

Having been deeply involved in the "Watergate scandal" and witnessed the astonishing conspiracies in American political history, he roughly deduced the process of events from the House of Representatives’ unusual approval of the proposal and that recent phone call.

"Hmm, using the government to gain prestige is indeed a good choice."

Wasn’t this what civil rights activists and anti-war protesters did?

"We need to wait for an opportunity to speak..." Wood mused to himself, "It should be, not the media-backed Democrat Party."

"A big shot from the Republican Party?"

But these were none of his business.

Wood shook his head and cast these thoughts out of his mind.

Now, what he needed to consider was the task given by his potential new employer.

"Starting protests, I’ve done countless times!"

"But delaying a protest, this is truly a first for me."

Wood clicked his mouse, scrutinizing the tweets.

"I’ve already signed up, Oracle customer service is great!"

"Me too, see you all in Washington!"

"How did Larry Elson catch the attention of this spendthrift tycoon!"

After thinking for a moment, Wood muttered: "Even if you’re rich, there should be a limit!"

With that, his fingers danced on the keyboard, beginning to type out his brainstormed method.

"There should be more book fans involved!"

"We must show those damn politicians our true power!"

"Among ’Anomalies’ book fans, aren’t there members of equal rights movements, animal protection organizations? Can we contact them and get everyone involved?"

"That’s no problem," someone replied immediately. "But that will cost tens of millions!"

Hmm...

Wood nodded in satisfaction, tagging Larry Elson.

"Sir, is that possible?" he asked.

"Uh..." Elson’s account replied, "I just ordered a Concorde Supersonic Aircraft, I can only spare 8 million US Dollars for now."

Hehe, as expected!

Wood leisurely picked up his coffee, saying to himself: "Even for the wealthy, coming up with tens of millions on the spot is no easy task."

But before he finished speaking, he saw Elson reply: "Just give me a moment, I will contact some others."

Soon, Wozniak, Emerson, Jick, and other famous programmers were online.

"I can donate 1 million US Dollars!"

"I’ve got 700,000!"

"900,000."

...

"Let’s do a tally!" Wozniak suggested.

Soon after, the genius hacker tagged the legendary journalist.

"Think again, who else might care about this and go to Washington for a protest."

"After calculations, we seem to have an extra 1.5 million US Dollars here."

"..." Wood stared at the computer screen, dumbfounded for a while.

"This kind of thing is really impossible to do!"
