【纸牌屋】S01E04(01)克莱尔在桑科和弗兰克之间抉择
Hints:
San corp
Francis
CWI
Glendon Hill
long-term
Claire
Things got complicated. San corp was in a difficult situation.
I would have thought you'd step up when things were difficult, not hold the donation hostage.
Well, things are less complicated now. The donation is back on table.
I had to fire half my staff.
Now you can hire them back.
San corp is prepared to double its initial commitment, 1.5 million, lump sum, this quarter.
Why?
Public relations. Same as before.
And what do they want from Francis?
Things are square with Frank. We're only talking about the CWI.
But why double it?
Because I said they should. The more they give, the more you can do. The more you can do, the better they look. And that's why they hired Glendon Hill, to make them look good.
And they also hired you to get traction in congress.
Not in this case. We want a long-term partnership, Claire. This is an investment in the future. We're not attaching strings.
I'll think about it.
They'd really love to move quickly on this.
I said I'll think about it.
事情变得复杂了。桑科工业陷入了困局。
我以为遇到困难,你会出面解决,而不是以捐款作为交换条件。
现在事情又没那么复杂了。捐款又有了。
我已经解雇了一半职员。
现在你可以重新雇佣回来。
桑科工业正准备翻倍支付最初的约定捐款金额,这季度一次性支付150万。
为什么这样?
因为公关。和之前一样的目的。
你们想从弗兰西斯那里得到什么?
我们跟弗兰克是公平交易。现在我们只是要捐款给净水计划。
但是为什么要翻倍?
因为我的建议。他们捐款越多,你的项目就能有更多的成果,他们作为资助者的形象也会更好。他们雇佣格兰顿·希尔,也是为了公司形象更好。
他们也雇用你在国会拉拢人。
这次不一样。克莱尔,我们想要建立长期合作伙伴关系。这是未来的投资。我们没有更多限制条件。
我会考虑。
他们很想看到这件事很快有进展。
我说了我会考虑。
