Wang Ye's phrase "securing sponsorship" was just a veiled way of expressing it.
Everyone is aware exactly where the money comes from.
It is definitely Wang Ye digging into his own pocket!
What he does is donate under the disguise of numerous companies he owns, just to keep up appearances and not raise any suspicion.
But in Lao Mao's place, this wasn't a big concern. After all, the practice of "democracy" was relatively new, and there were many loopholes.
What's more, everyone didn't take those rules too seriously.
During congressional elections, everyone brings out their best strategies.
Just like Wang Ye, who swept all competitors and won an astonishing level of support during the election in Chukotka, largely thanks to his secret weapon: vodka!
Other congressmen's elections were not much different, it's just that none of them lavished as hugely as Wang Ye did.
