The braintrust's idea was brilliant. If they released 100,000 jobs in advance, they would only be able to increase 100,000 voters.
However, if they promised that the 100,000 jobs would be released after the election, then 1 million voters would choose to support Schwarzenegger.
The total population of California was 40 million, and 1 million unemployed people were not a lot.
However, among these 40 million people, only about 8 million voters would actually vote, and 1 million unemployed people did not represent 1 million voters.
Because behind each unemployed person was a family, and each family had 4 or 5 voters, this was estimated to be 4 or 5 million votes.
Furthermore, the gap between the votes of Schwarzenegger and his competitors was not that big. When the 1 million unemployed voters changed their allegiance, Schwarzenegger brought them in and won California with a huge 22% lead. He could continue to be the governor for 5 years.
Schwarzenegger, who won the five-year term, directly removed the unlucky fire department head and replaced him with one of his own people. Then, he passed the fire department audit immediately.
After that, all the audits passed quickly and were processed as quickly as possible. Lace also returned the favor. After all the audits were passed and they could operate normally, they announced that 100,000 people would be chosen by drawing lots to become Lace's employees.
However, because Lace could not operate for the time being, because the national network had not been completed, and electric cars could not be imported into the country, it was impossible to operate for the time being. However, Lace was willing to sign an agreement with all the employees, and they would be hired as soon as the power station opened. At the same time, they would be given a living allowance of 100 USD every month, and they would not be restricted from doing odd jobs.
Although this news was somewhat disappointing, the 100 USD monthly living allowance was free, so the people who signed up still worked very hard. In the end, Lace signed a work agreement with 50,000 people.
Well, there were 1 million unemployed people anyway, so whether it was 50,000 or 100,000 people, most people would not be able to tell at all. They would only think that they were too unlucky.
On the other hand, Schwarzenegger's actions quickly spread throughout the United States. Seeing that Schwarzenegger won the election so easily, all the states in the United States reacted. They could follow suit because Lace had arrangements in every state, and they were more or less in a state of restriction. As long as they opened and increased the number of jobs, it would be the governor's credit!
Therefore, very soon, all the governors took action. As for Morgan's ban, they directly ignored it.
They were politicians, not financiers. Morgan's threat to them was actually limited. The reason why they were willing to cooperate with Morgan was to use Morgan to gain more votes.
If he could get a lot of votes if he cooperated with Grace now, why not?
Of course, in the beginning, there were still many governors who were worried about Morgan's outburst. However, after seeing that more than ten states in the United States had done the same thing, they were no longer afraid.
Either you have the ability to fire all the staff in one go, or you can only obediently accept your fate. After all, the law can't punish the masses.

"These bastards!" Rector Morgan angrily smashed the cup in his hand. In almost a week, almost all of his previous obstacles against Lace Power went bankrupt under the opposition of various state governments.
After all, the power of the United States state governments was immense. As long as they did not declare independence from the United States, the central government of the United States could not do anything to the state governments.
But after being angry, Rector Morgan did not have any good ideas.
The reason why the Morgan Consortium could almost control the United States was that the interests of the Morgan Consortium and the United States politicians were highly tied together. Politicians helping the Morgan Consortium was to protect their own interests.
If there was anything that could make these politicians give up their interests, then it must be the election.
In order to win the election, these politicians could really do anything. Now that the United States was facing a huge economic crisis, anyone with a little brain would understand how stupid it was to stop a large company that could recruit more than millions of employees in the United States at this time.
Therefore, Rector Morgan found that all his means against the Daqian were ineffective. The Daqian power station was being built at a very fast speed.
Of course, if Rector Morgan wanted to, he could still restrict it through the United States Parliament, but November was the United States election month, and the new United States General Commander would be elected in November.
At this time, facing a huge economic crisis and a large number of unemployed people, in order to win the votes of the voters, who would dare to refuse a job at this time?
All the politicians were apologizing to the Morgan Consortium. They said that after this period of time, they would immediately find a way to torment Lace Electric, but at this time, they must express their support, otherwise they would lose votes!
In short, at least until the end of the financial crisis, no one dared to do such a thing, otherwise the angry voters in the country would tear them apart with votes.
In this way, Rector Morgan could only watch as Lace took advantage of this financial crisis and directly flattened all the difficulties. At the beginning of 2009, she completed the set goal a year ahead of time. All the power stations began operating, and at the same time, the electric car directly entered the domestic market of the United States.
"Why is it so coincidental that the economic crisis broke out at this time, making all my efforts a joke!" Rector Morgan clenched his fists angrily. There was nothing worse in the world than this.
If it was a simple loss to the Daqian, then Rector Morgan would not be so uncomfortable.
But in the end, because of the economic crisis, the Daqian won, which made Rector Morgan very uncomfortable. This feeling was like losing to God, it was simply terrible.
"Wait, Jia Yapeng didn't calculate that there would be an economic crisis, so he deliberately chose this time!" When Rector Morgan thought of the various delays and indifferent policies in the early stage of the Grand Chiliocosm, which dragged the time to 2008, Rector Morgan suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
"This is impossible, even Morgan didn't expect that this would be a global financial crisis. How could the Daqian calculate it so clearly?" Rector Morgan erased this speculation in his heart.
Of course, the main reason was that he didn't want to believe it.
