Chapter 51: Against the Party
Hearing Gu Mu's explanation, Santos finally put his mind at ease, and at the same time had a feeling of confidant to Gu Mu.
It is very touching that the successor of such a super-rich man would invest such a huge amount of money because of his own governance philosophy.
Mountains and rivers meet bosom friends!
This is a person who really understands him.
- Santos thought excitedly.
He is very grateful to Wang Yongyuan, because Wang Yongyuan has great support for him to embark on the road of politics.
announced his participation in the presidential election, which also has Wang Yongyuan's demagogy.
Now that he is the favorite for the country's next presidential election, he would not have been able to do so without Wang's financial support.
No matter how good the concept of governance is, the media needs to help him spread it, otherwise the people will not hear it.
All of this requires money.
And these funds are basically supported by Wang Yongyuan through different channels.
Without that money, there would be no way for his ideas to spread and he would not be able to gain the support of the electorate.
So he is very grateful to Wang Yongyuan, the big financier.
But Gu Mu's current statement made him more grateful to Gu Mu than to Wang Yongyuan all of a sudden.
It's not about increasing the $1 billion investment limit to the $5 billion investment limit.
It's that sense of encounter.
There is no doubt that the sense of knowing $5 billion is several times stronger than the feeling of knowing that $1 billion.
He said to Gu Mu: "I am very grateful to Mr. Gu for affirming my governance philosophy. ”
After a pause, he said: "In order to give voters greater confidence in my governance philosophy, I hope that Mr. Gu can express in front of the media that he will invest $5 billion in our country's industrial industry in the three years after I am elected." ”
This must be announced well in advance of the general election in order to be able to play a role in canvassing.
And there must be a precondition that Santos can be elected president.
If the president-elect had not been Santos, Gu Mu would not have invested $5 billion in the country.
This is important.
If those voters think that no matter who is elected president, Gu Mu will make such a big investment in the country, then it doesn't matter which president is elected.
Gu Mu readily agreed: "Of course this is no problem, if this can help you, Mr. Santos, I will be happy to cooperate." ”
Wang Yongyuan's face was already blue in the monitoring room.
The investment of $5 billion is also a big burden for him.
His assets are more than that, but it is really difficult to come up with so much cash in three years.
Even if you ask those assets to be sold, they can't be sold in a while, you have to start selling them a long time in advance, otherwise you will sell them in a hurry and the price will be very low.
The most terrible thing is that Gu Mu has already made such a promise, and it is very clear that it is this number, not just casually, if he talks too much, he will not have time to stop it.
At that time, if Gu Mu was interviewed by the media, it would still be such a number, as long as Santos was elected, he would have to implement this number in the future.
Otherwise, it will not only affect Santos's credibility, but also affect his own credibility, and it will be very difficult to do business in the future.
If he could, he really wanted to plug Gu Mu's mouth.
But the words had already been spoken, and there was no way for him to stop them.
Although these words were just said by Gu Mu, not what he said, it is not impossible not to admit it.
But in this way, it is bound to displease Santos.
You promised to give someone a ham, and in the end you gave someone a ham sausage, although it is still a favor, but the other person will not feel a favor in their hearts, but will be dissatisfied.
Because the gap is too big.
And for him, it is very important to cultivate an agent of his own in this country.
It is related to whether or not the huge gold mine under this national security development training camp can be successfully carried out in the future.
If the future president were a person who had a bad impression of himself, he could have repudiated the previous agreement and stopped him from developing that mega gold mine.
The reason is very easy to find, the fear of damaging the environment, the fear of affecting the ecology, or the announcement that he signed the contract by bribery, which has no legal effect.
With the lure of money, anything can happen.
This gold mine is much more important than that $5 billion.
Therefore, he needs to cultivate his own agent in this country, and also help this agent firmly control the power and completely control the country.
Now that Gu Mu had made such a promise, he had to accept it no matter how unhappy he was.
In that box, because of Gu Mu's promise of 5 billion US dollars, the atmosphere of communication between the two suddenly became very good.
They are all about the same age, Gu Mu is also 30 years old, Santos is only in his 30s, just a few years apart, Santos has studied in Huaxia again, and there are some common topics.
At the beginning, he talked about the big topics of politics and economy, but later, Santos mentioned some things when he was studying in China, and also mentioned some of his favorite Chinese stars, and exchanged personal preferences with each other, and the distance between the two people was shortened a lot at once:
"I like your Huaxia action movies, as well as funny movies, I like Xing Ye and Brother Jie very much......"
"I like Brother Jing, I blew up his "The Wandering Earth"!"
"I'm a fan of Jin Yong, I've seen everything he has, and my favorite is "Dragon Babu", "The Legend of the Deer and Ding", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", ......"
"I don't read much physical books now, I like to read the Internet on it, and my favorite networks are "The Strongest Emperor Cultivation System", "Security Counterattack", "Reinvention Mixed Element" ......"
"Brother, you're playing harder than my Jebel in this advertisement......"
“……”
Speaking of the back, the more the two of them talked, the more they fell in love, and they were no longer "Mr. Gu" and "Mr. Santos" when they first met, but they were called brothers.
All the way to a taboo topic:
"Should tofu brain be sweet or salty?"
When the two of them were talking hotly, Gu Mu asked this question without thinking.
After asking, he regretted it a little - the problem is too serious, and if you don't get it right, you will turn against him.
Santos froze there for a moment, and after a while he cautiously said, "Salty." ”
Then he asked, "What about you?"
"I ...... I think you should eat sweet ......."
Gu Mu said.
The air became very heavy for a while.
After a while, Santos laughed and said, "Seek common ground while reserving differences, seek common ground while reserving differences." ”
"Yes, yes, Lao Tie, you are right!
Gu Mu also laughed.
But the two of them made an evaluation of each other at the same time in their hearts - against the party!
