Zhang Yida smiled, listed on the New York Stock Exchange, he didn't dare to come, isn't this a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?

He admits that Ohhausen has some truth in what he said, and that the U.S. listing is more famous and more international, but he can't put the life of the entire Ruixiang Group on the line.

As for the other points that Ohhausen said, one or two can be adopted.

But the effect will have to be done to know, and it will depend on how hostile the US government is.

Ohhausen suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, there's another trick, do you know K Street?"

Zhang Yida thought for a while and said, "Are you talking about the 64-kilometer-long street outside the White House?"

Ohhausen snapped his fingers, "Bingo!"

Lao Bainan continued: "It is the area with the largest concentration of lobbying companies in the US government, and there are a lot of successful lobbying firms, which are inextricably linked with the US authorities and politicians. ”

Zhang Yida nodded, he also learned about the lobbying company, there are 120,000 registered lobbyists in the United States, more than 300 professional lobbyist companies, and former government officials are the main force of practitioners in this industry.

The United States is one of the few countries in the world that remains open to corporate lobbying of governments, and it is also the first country to begin regulating lobbying.

Because of the obvious possibility, Congress has required all professional lobbyists to register personal information with Congress and submit quarterly reports on their lobbying efforts since 1876.

On a quarterly basis, lobbyists are required to report on which government agencies and members of Congress they have contacted, what issues have been discussed, which bills have been involved, and how much they have spent. Lobbyists who fail to comply with the registration and reporting process can be sentenced to up to five years in prison.

In some companies, there are even guests who have served as members of Congress or chairs of a committee.

Zhang Yida said: "As far as I know, Chinese technology companies such as Ahri, Huawei, and DJI have hired lobbying companies, but the results don't seem to be very good."

Ohhausen nodded, "That's true, it doesn't mean that lobbying will be successful."

If Ruixiang is not a Chinese-funded enterprise, it can also engage in the "campaign donation".

In the United States, this is a common tactic used by many large corporations, often holding charity banquets to match congressmen with potential donors.

This way, parliamentarians can get their election contributions and know which company helped. In the process, no one broke the law.

But U.S. law explicitly prohibits foreign companies from funding domestic political activities.

And if the charity gala is reported by the media, it will bring huge trouble to both sides.

Even if you want to engage in this kind of activity, it is estimated that no parliamentarian will dare to gamble his political life with you. ”

Zhang Yida smiled and nodded, as far as he knew, there were many successful cases of lobbying companies.

Especially American companies, which don't succeed too much.

There are also some success stories of foreign companies.

Far away is Toshiba, which exported military-grade machine tools to the Soviet Union in the 80s, and the U.S. government originally wanted to ban the entire Toshiba Group, but the final punishment was only to ban exports to the United States for three years.

At that time, the Cold War showed no end at all, and Dongying was the world's second-largest economy, which was regarded by American politicians as the biggest threat to the economy.

Toshiba spent millions of dollars on lobbying to appease the anger of the Reagan administration and Congress.

Most recently, in 2011, when Taobao was dubbed a counterfeit market by the Office of the United States Trade Representative, Ahri hired a specialized lobbying agency, Duberste Grou, to help with the situation.

The company's head, Kenneth Duberstein, served in key positions such as the last chief of staff of President Reagan and the former general counsel of the Office of the United States Trade Representative.

In 2016, when DJI's drone products were expanding into the U.S. market, and when they faced allegations of information security threats, the U.S. Department of the Interior, the Office of Budget Management, and the Department of Agriculture said that banning DJI's drone products would affect jobs and cause losses.

Among them, the Ministry of the Interior and the Budget Management Office have also been the main targets of the DJI lobbying team in recent years.

In a way, in the United States, it has been much more successful than Ahri and DJI.

Every day, 30 million Americans open the app to shoot and watch videos.

This is much more successful than other Chinese companies, and is more seen as a thorn in the side of competitors such as Facebook and Serab.

Naturally, the U.S. government will be even more jealous!

However, lobbying firms still have to be hired, and even Zhang Yida wants to hire a few former U.S. government officials to enter.

Huawei has been employing American lobbying firms since around 2010, and although it has not been too successful, it has had nearly a decade of development.

In the face of US sanctions, it also seems more calm.

At least we have to ensure that there will be no accidents this year, so let Ruixiang go public first and raise more funds.

Even if there is any bad situation in the future, you can be more confident when dealing with it.

"Which lobbying firm is closer to the authorities now?" Mr. Zhang asked.

Ohhausen replied without hesitation: "David Urban, who is the president of the lobbying firm Ariental Grou and an adviser to Trump's re-election campaign. ”

Zhang Yida smiled and asked, "Can you tell us more about it?"

Ohhausen smiled, "Okay, then I'll introduce the president's guests."

A graduate of West Point, Urbane served in the Gulf War with the 101st Airborne Division and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal.

He helped Trump win Pennsylvania, the traditional dominant state of the Donkey Party, in 2016......

Last year, the U.S. Congress froze billions of dollars in arms exports to the Gulf region from the U.S. missile manufacturer Rays.

Raytheon's CEO went to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to intercede, but he couldn't even see anyone.

In the end, CEO Raytheon entrusted Urbane to find Pompeo, his classmate at West Point, and facilitate dinner between the two parties at the State Department.

Two weeks after Urban's intervention, the U.S. State Department bypassed Congress and cleared Thunder's arms deal. ”

Zhang Yida suddenly realized, who said that the United States is fair and just, and there is no human society? What is this?

As long as there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and European and American countries are the same, who can be much more noble than whom.

"Okay, can Mr. Ohhlhausen make an appointment for me to be the president's guest?"

Ohhausen smiled: "Of course! ”

Zhang Yida smiled, "Yes, I like to deal with the big stomach."

The food is very rich, it depends on whether he has the ability to eat it. ”

"Big Stomach?"

Ohhausen laughed, "This metaphor is very vivid, he is such a person." ”

Zhang Yida pondered for a moment, and then said: "Mr. Ochhausen, can you introduce me to a few talents from the two academies and a certain government background?"

The United States intends to form a public policy department, and there is a great need for talent in this area to join. ”

Ohhausen smiled and nodded, "That's fine, wrap it up on me." ”
