Chapter 476: An Invitation from the White House!
When John Odell put forward the intention of listing Prager Energy, Yang Jie said with a smile: "Since everyone is so interested, please leave the matter of Prager Energy's listing to everyone." β
Yang Jie certainly wouldn't object to Prager Energy going public.
John Odell and the others all had happy expressions on their facesβ
Prager Energy's small fuel cell power stations that are now being sold to California companies are selling very well, and now they can sell thousands of units every month, and this business alone is making more than $400 million a month, plus tens of millions of dollars a month in the stable wholesale electricity price of fuel cell power plants, and has now become the most profitable fuel cell manufacturer.
Now Prager Energy is also going to continue to promote fuel cell power stations, and the demand for funds is still very large, and Yang Jie is also looking forward to seeing another amount of money from the U.S. stock market to be used on it.
After the end of the negotiations with John Odell, Yang Jie did not stay in San Francisco for long, but visited the American branch and other companies, and by the time he arrived in Washington, it was already the 19th.
As Yang Jie, who once contributed nearly tens of millions of dollars in political contributions to the incoming President George W. Bush, it was natural that he received an invitation from the White House.
However, Bush Jr., who was busy taking office, did not receive him, after all, he is a Chinese, and Bush Jr. still has to pay great attention to the influence, and Yang Jie, who has long been psychologically prepared for this, did not disappoint much of his interest.
He also knows that he has a lot of political cash, but what really made Bush Jr. ascend to the presidency are those big conglomerates and big families, and the tens of millions of dollars can only buy some incense, and they are also offered in the name of the company, but he is also on the invitation list, which proves that Bush Jr. still has a good impression of him, and this is enough.
The inauguration of the President of the United States has a set of established procedures, including the week ceremony, rushing to Capitol Hill, senator speeches, pastor prayers, vice presidential inauguration, presidential inauguration, presidential inaugural speech, celebration movement, among all the procedures, the most important is undoubtedly the presidential inaugural speech.
Before Yang Jie's rebirth, he had watched the inaugural speeches of these presidents of the United States on some video websites before, and this time he sat directly in the crowd under the stage, but the immersive scene combined with the memories in his mind always made him feel that time and space were out of order.
Natasha and Adam Cohen were also sitting next to him at this time, and Natasha was also looking at the political and business elites in the front row with interest.
"President Clinton, distinguished guests, my compatriots, we solemnly cover up old traditions with a simple oath and at the same time begin a new process......"
Bush Jr. was making a speech at this time, and he mentioned his policy plan in the middle.
"We need to work together to improve the teaching of American schools, and not let ignorance and apathy swallow up more young lives. We want to reform the social health care and insurance systems, we want to reduce taxes, restore the economy, and reward the hard-working Americans. We need to be precautionary, and slacking off will lead to trouble. We must also put a stop to the proliferation of weapons so that the new century can be freed from terrible coercion......"
"Do you trust what he says?"
Natasha asked Yang Jie beside her.
"Listen to his words and watch his deeds. Yang Jie said: "What these politicians want to do is never said. β
Adam Cohen glanced at Yang Jie and said, "You have a very clear understanding of the minds of these politicians. β
After Bush Jr.'s inaugural speech, Yang Jie and Natasha returned to the hotel where they were staying, and after eating something to pad their stomachs, he and Natasha also changed into prepared dresses, and then came to the White House again with Adam Cohen under the escort of a kind of bodyguard.
At this time, it was already night in Washington, and in order to celebrate the birth of the new president, the White House tonight can be described as full of lights.
After going through a strict inspection and handing over his invitation, Yang Jie and the others were let in, while Zheng Chao and the others had to stay outside.
Security is tighter at the White House, and there's nothing to worry about.
Stepping on the red carpet and following the instigated route, Yang Jie followed Natasha and Adam Cohen step by step into this center that symbolizes American power.
After passing through the door, before entering the hall, I heard the enthusiastic voice of the crowd in the hall.
After entering, Yang Jie's eyes swept around, but he had an unobstructed view of the situation in the hall.
In the lavish hall surrounded by ornate carpets, intricate reliefs, Swarovski crystal chandeliers, and historical paintings and ornaments, well-dressed celebrities and glamorous ladies socialize in groups of three or five, holding feathers, talking to each other according to their own circles, in order to weave their own networks and expand their own contacts, showing a well-known but every moment of the generation of beings!
These people also showed surprised faces when they saw Yang Jie, it is indeed rare for an Asian to appear on such an occasion.
Natasha held Yang Jie's hand at this time and whispered, "It seems that these people are very surprised by your arrival." β
"I'm glad you and Mr. Adam are here, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to come. β
Natasha grinned.
At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties came over to greet Adam Cohen with a feather, and then his eyes stayed on Yang Jie's face, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Yang, it's an honor to meet you." β
"Hello!" Yang Jie smiled and shook hands with the man.
"This is George Solo Roosevelt, chairman of the Roosevelt Trust. Adam Cohen gave Yang Jie a preface.
"I didn't expect Your Excellency to be a famous queen!" Yang Jie said.
George waved his hand absently, "After hundreds of years of reproduction, the Roosevelt family has many children and grandchildren, except for the descendants, most of them are looking for their own future!
Although the other side said so, the Roosevelt family is the longest-standing political family in the United States, but it is much stronger than some confident political families.
"Mr. George, I am not very familiar with the situation in the United States, and I would like to ask for your advice. Yang Jie said.
"Willing to help. β
George smiled, then pointed to some people in the middle of the banquet and said, "These are the real protagonists of this banquet." β
In fact, Yang Jie created this small group of people just now, and it is the most watched existence in all banquet halls. The crowd around them will subconsciously pay attention to them in addition to the exchange.
"You know them all?"
"The short, bald middle-aged man is Chris Jordan, the chairman and CEO of Citibank, and the tall man next to him with gold-rimmed glasses is Henry Davis, the chairman of the board of directors of JPMorgan Chase Bank, and the bald man is called Stephen Brier, one of the current federal officials, and the bald black guy is called Colin Powell, the right and left hand of Mr. President, and the current Secretary of Defense......"
"Sure enough, they are all big shots. β
Looking at these people like the stars holding the moon, Yang Jie didn't have much feeling about it, he didn't have any political ambitions, in his heart, wealth can continue, but political rights cannot be passed on to his descendants.
"Almost everyone here loves their status and rights and wants to replace them in the future, but Mr. Yang doesn't seem to be very interested in that. β
Looking at George's profound eyes, Yang Jie smiled, "I am a native of China, and I will not participate in American citizenship in the future, let alone enter the political arena in the United States, but I hope that Mr. Adam Cohen and Natasha can enter the political arena." β
Now Yang Jie only applied for a green card in the United States in order to facilitate his business in the United States.
"I'm not interested in politics. Natasha pouted.
"Hehe, a trade wizard like Mr. Yang is very rare, and in the history of American trade, there are few who can reach your current height!"
"I would like to thank Mr. George for his compliment. β
George Solo Roosevelt was about to speak, when a middle-aged woman with full dark skin in a red evening dress walked over with a feather bud.
Yang Jie is no stranger to this person, it is the founder of the well-known ace TV program "Oprah Talk Show" in the United States - Ms. Oprah Winfrey.
