Chapter 1406: I'm surrounded by a group of poor ghosts
Knowing that Chen Geng was going to run for governor after only serving one term as mayor, he didn't know what to say: To run for governor? In the United States, can money really do whatever it wants? !
Everyone knows very well that although from the perspective of the Chinese people, they feel that the governor of the United States and our feudal officials are equal, but in fact, this is not the case, our national government is a "strong" government, and the central government has strong jurisdiction over the localities.
But this is not the case in the United States.
The governor of the United States is elected, and most importantly, the full name of the United States is "United States of America", and the word "United States" embodies the essence of the United States: everyone is an independent individual, and they come together to form this country.
Therefore, in many articles about the United States, you can find statements similar to "the states of the United States are actually countries with less independent sovereignty", and in fact, this is indeed the case, in the United States, each state has its own independent laws and even constitutions, and each state also has its own education system, police system and even armed forces, and the federal government has no jurisdiction over these systems, from this point of view, there is nothing wrong with saying that each state is an independent small kingdom - Why, a few years later, California is clamoring for independence?
After knowing that Chen Geng was going to run for governor, the above also expressed full understanding of Chen Geng's decision to give up the post of chairman of COMAC Group - some people raised the question of whether they could take this opportunity to buy some shares of COMAC from Chen Geng, but look at the money in their hands, and then look at the increasingly unstable financial activities in Southeast Asia, in the end, everyone felt that it was better to be safe at this time.
What Chen Geng didn't expect was that he stepped down from the position of chairman of COMAC, but instead promoted another thing: he had an encouraging attitude towards Xifei's proposal to jointly develop a large transport aircraft with COMAC.
In other words, after Chen Geng relinquished the supreme leadership of COMAC, the above actually agreed with this matter and expressed it with a practical description.
Chen Geng didn't say anything about this, which was expected by him, but Chen Geng didn't put more energy here at the moment, and now Chen Geng is preparing to take his group of subordinates to "make a little money"...... In 1997, the Asian financial crisis, if you don't take advantage of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make some money, how will you retire in the future?
"Boss, I don't question what you mean, I don't know anything about finance, your performance in the '87 stock market crash and the '92 sniper pound is impressive," Patricia Edith Harris first expressed his attitude: "What I want to say is, boss, can you take one of us and let us get involved?"
Tim Penn, Marion Summerfield, and Coleman Young nodded frantically.
After knowing that his boss was going to Asia to stir up trouble, Patricia Edith Harris and the other campaign teams around Chen Geng went crazy: the boss went to make money again?
In the United States, there are countless books describing Chen Geng's god-level performance in the 1987 US stock market crash and the 1992 sniping of the pound. Harris and others have not been with Chen Geng for a long time, but for Chen Geng's performance and achievements in the financial field, it is really a five-body surrender, and now, when they learned that Chen Geng was going to raise funds to go to Asia to toss, everyone was immediately excited: Boss, can you take one of us and let us make a little fortune?
Looking at a group of subordinates with bright eyes, Chen Geng smacked his touch: It seems that you can think about it?
To be honest, whether it is Patricia Edith Harris or Tim Penn, although their economic conditions are good, they are only relative to ordinary people, and after so many years of being a campaign manager, Tim Penn is worth about two million US dollars, and the relatively young Patricia Edith Harris is worth $1 million or not. Yang, but Chen Geng estimated that his worth was probably between $15 million and $20 million.
Whether it is Patricia Edith Harris's worth of one million or Coleman Young's worth of millions, they are very worthy of the envy of ordinary Americans, but by Chen Geng's side, this worth can only be reprimanded as a "poor ghost!"
But Chen Geng also admitted that Coleman Young, Marion Summerfield, Dimmon Pan and Patricia Edith Harris, these guys are indeed talents, real political talents, at least in politics, these guys have become his right-hand men, look at their pitiful worth, Chen Geng feels that these guys are indeed poor......
"Yes, no problem," facing the anxious and apprehensive eyes of Patricia Edith Harris and others, Chen Geng groaned slightly, and then nodded happily: "But how much money can you come up with?"
As soon as they mentioned this question, the faces of several people suddenly turned red...... Coleman Young is an exception, and as a black man, you can't tell if he's blushing or not.
"I ...... I can come up with $120,000......"
Patricia Edith Harris whispered, she felt ashamed, but in fact it was all the wealth she could mobilize, and there were $30,000 of it that had to be swiped on a credit card.
Compared to Patricia Edith Harris, Tim Pan is slightly better: "Boss, I have about $300,000...... If I had mortgaged my house, I would have been able to borrow about $60,000 from the bank. ”
“......”
Chen Geng couldn't help but cover his forehead: This group of poor ghosts!
Fortunately, Coleman Yang was still competitive, he looked at Chen Geng, and said carefully: "Boss, I can probably make up $2 million." ”
"You guys......"
Chen Geng sighed: "Forget it, you can make up as much as you want, and I will lend you an additional $50 million, according to the bank's loan interest rate in the same period, I will take half of the money, is there a problem?"
