Chapter 836 Xia Yu's Suggestion

Time passed gradually, on July 7, a major event occurred in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government officially ordered, in order to standardize the financial order of Hong Kong and improve the financial development environment of Hong Kong, it was decided to merge the four stock exchanges, and the new exchange will be named the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

After this decision was announced, the whole Xiangjiang shook.

However, Xia Yu had already known about this matter, and ordered his subordinates of banks and securities companies to pay close attention and wait for opportunities to participate, at least to get the name of a member of the exchange committee.

Of course, Xia Yu also knows that the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange still only exists on paper, with only one name, and even the committee has not yet been established, and the four stock exchanges will continue to operate until April 1986, when the Hong Kong Stock Exchange will be officially listed and operated, and the other exchanges will all be shut down.

Calculate carefully, if he does not interfere with the advancement, there will still be five years and nine months by that time, which is still early!

After telling Xia Yu to pay attention, Xia Yu immediately left it behind and continued to be busy in the United States.

Today's follow-up is Seattle Computer Products Company, tomorrow's follow-up is Polaris Capital Company, the day after tomorrow is the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the day after tomorrow is the Galaxy Fund Branch...... Xia Yu's life is quite fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, the mid-July comes, and the Republican National Convention of the United States arrives as scheduled.

Xia Yu watched the whole process in front of the TV.

That's right, the Republican Party's national convention is open to the whole of the United States directly through the television network, which is also a good publicity opportunity for American voters to know who the Republican Party's presidential candidate is.

In the past 10 days, not only George Bush has given up, but many other candidates have been given up by Benjamin Carr, the leader of the Republican Party, and they have chosen to give up the campaign for the sake of the overall situation, and of course some of them refuse to give up.

But supporters of the abandonment candidates were told to vote for Ronald Wilson Reagan at the National Convention.

Therefore, when Ronald Reagan took the podium as the first nominee candidate, the votes quickly exceeded 1,237 votes, directly locking in the identity of the Republican presidential candidate, and those behind either showed regret or a rightful expression.

Although Ronald Reagan has locked up the victory, it does not mean that he will be able to represent the Republican Party in the national election, and there is also a possibility that other independent candidates will be able to stabilize in the next four months.

According to the past election process, scandals, smashing shoes, etc. will happen, and if the Democratic Party breaks out his huge scandal later, it is not impossible for the Republican Party to change its supporters.

Therefore, after the Republican National Convention, two more people stood up in a high-profile manner, declaring in front of the media that they would never give up until the last minute and would run for president as an independent Republican candidate. B. Anderson, one is Republican Senator Pock Coster.

Two days later, the Democratic National Convention was held in New York, and it was President Jimmy Carter who was nominated by the Democratic Party as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee and will represent the Democratic Party in the general elections in the coming months.

Now that the presidential candidates of both parties have been decided, the next thing is to quickly assemble a campaign team.

This campaign will be no bigger than the previous one.

Those who didn't bet will let go of their last bit of reserve and choose to join two teams.

And the interviewers of these two teams are none other than Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.

The most important team candidate to be decided on is the vice presidential candidate!

In Washington, Xia Yu met Ronald Reagan again, Ronald Reagan, who had already won a stage victory, was high-spirited, although he was sixty-nine years old, but his hair was dyed black, and he looked energetic.

However, in the face of Xia Yu, the big financier, his attitude is still the same as in the past, not arrogant, but quite enthusiastic.

"Mr. Xia, welcome to you, please come in!"

"Our future Mr. President, what a pleasure to see you again!"

"It's too early, Jimmy Carter is the current president, and I still have a long way to go if I want to run successfully......"

"Mr. Reagan, I don't think Jimmy Carter will be your match,"

After the two gently hugged and greeted, Ronald Reagan welcomed Xia Yu and others in.

"Good morning, boss!"

At this time, Ronald Reagan's financial adviser Rhodes Saxon said hello to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response to his subordinates.

"Good morning, Rhodes, you've worked hard all this time!"

"It's not hard, it's what I'm supposed to do......"

Soon, the group came to the living room to drink coffee and chat, of course, the topic has been around the presidential campaign.

"Mr. Reagan, who are you going to partner with in the next election, such as the vice president?"

Xia Yu took a sip of coffee and put down the cup, smiling and asking.

Ronald Reagan's smile retracted, his expression became serious, and he looked at Xia Yu and shook his head and said: "I haven't decided yet, the candidate is still under investigation, Mr. Xia, you should understand that although this position does not stipulate specific powers in the constitution, it did not even exist in the early days, but in this era, this position is very important, and a good vice president will affect the presidential campaign and the term after the campaign." ”

Xia Yu nodded and said: "I know what you said, although you have obtained the resources of the Republican Party, the resources of the Republican Party are still limited, the United States is a country of capital, and you need to get the support of enough consortia." ”

Ronald Reagan said calmly, "Yes!"

After speaking, he asked rhetorically, "Mr. Xia, do you have any suggestions?"

Xia Yu thought for a while, bowed his head slightly, and said, "I really have a suggestion." ”

Ronald Reagan raised his eyebrows, became interested, and asked, "I don't know which one can get your approval from Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yu smiled faintly and spit out a name and said, "Your original competitor, George Bush." ”

Ronald Reagan was surprised, he didn't expect Xia Yu to recommend this person, but he knew that George Bush had given up the presidential race, and he called him half a month ago.

And if nothing else, George Bush is probably on vacation in Hawaii right now.

Half a month ago, after George Bush congratulated him, he asked casually, and George Bush told him with relief that he had been nervous for so long and planned to take his wife to relax.

Ronald Reagan quickly flashed several possibilities in his mind, and looked at Xia Yu with burning eyes, wanting to know the reason: "Mr. Xia, why do you think he will be suitable? He has participated in the presidential candidate race before!"

Xia Yu smiled and asked: "Mr. Reagan, although he participated in the presidential election and lost to you, but think about it from another perspective, if there is a vice presidential position for you, are you willing to come?"

Ronald Reagan thought for a moment and shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think I'm going to say no, it's going to be a huge political capital, and there's a lot of precedent for going from vice president to president." ”

"Isn't that it?"

"Mr. Reagan, of all the Republican presidential candidates this time, George Bush is the best fit for you. ”

"His political views are closest to yours, and because he has served as a diplomat in many countries, he has a very broad international vision, and if you partner with you, the two of you can form a good complement. ”

"The most important thing is that the Bush family not only has great energy in the political field, but the Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium, as long as you pull George Bush to your side, then you will have a good chance of getting the resources of the Texas consortium!"

Ronald Reagan looked pensive, carefully pondered Xia Yu's words, and the more he pondered, the more he felt reasonable.

Seeing Ronald Reagan's complexion change, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly.

Originally, the selection of the vice president was to be discussed and suggested within his team, and in the end, Ronald Reagan made the decision on who to use.

Unlike presidential candidates, the choice of a vice presidential candidate is entirely in the hands of Ronald Reagan, just as he is the boss and interviews employees.

Of course, other people can also give advice, so Xia Yu's proposal now is not overstepping it at all.

After a long time, Ronald Reagan came back to his senses, looked at Xia Yu who was smiling, and said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, your suggestion is very pertinent, I will consider it carefully." ”

"By the way, Mr. Xia, do you know George Bush?"

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know him at all, of course I'm looking forward to getting to know him." ”

Ronald Reagan nodded, regardless of whether Xia Yu said it was true or not, and said: "Okay, I am good friends with him, I think he will definitely want to know you." ”

Xia Yu smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to that day!"

After laughing, Xia Yu changed the topic: "Mr. Reagan, in the next four months, I will let my media company do my best to cheer for you, and if the campaign funds are to be raised, I will sponsor you another 10 million US dollars, which will be remitted to your campaign account in a reasonable way within two months." ”

Ronald Reagan was pleasantly surprised, his good impression of Xia Yu has skyrocketed, and he is really a bold boss, he has never asked for him, but he is the person who has supported you from beginning to end, and the support can't help but be strong, and it is very simple.

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your great support, I will never forget your help to me!" Ronald Reagan said gratefully.

"Mr. Reagan, you deserve my support, and aren't we friends?" Xia Yu said with a light smile.

Ronald Reagan nodded heavily and said in a deep voice: "That's right, you will always be my friend, one of the most important friends in my life!"

"Let's toast our friendship with coffee instead of wine!"

"Cheers! Friendship lasts forever!"

Xia Yu smiled and raised his glass.

"Bang!"

......

"Rhodes, you need to work hard to assist Mr. Reagan in the future. ”

After celebrating, Xia Yu said to Rhodes Saxon, who had been listening to him.

Xia Yu was not in a commanding tone, although Rhodes Saxon was originally just a financial elite, and now he is only a member of Ronald Reagan's team.

But there is a way for a person to ascend to heaven, as long as Ronald Reagan takes office, then Rhodes Saxon will leap into the White House, become a senior political figure, and will also be the president's confidant.

Rhodes Saxon also knew that his mission and future were related to Ronald Reagan, so he nodded heavily and promised: "Don't worry, boss, I will fully support Mr. Reagan." ”

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Rhodes has been doing a good job, and I am very satisfied with his work. ”

"That's fantastic. ”
