Perhaps many of the officials who do not have a thorough understanding of the despicability of American politicians.

I won't be able to understand: what is the point of Gu Biao spending so much energy and beeping so much with Senior Bill about "where is he and what is he doing".

Actually, it makes sense.

Because American politicians are not patriotic, to be precise, the vast majority of them only love the small part of the country that needs to be loved in that position of their ass, and they do not casually focus on the interests of the big picture.

If there is something that is good for the interests of the small group in Alberta and harmful to the overall interests of the entire United States, then Senior Bill will most likely do it.

Because his governor of Alberta was elected by the voters of A-State, he is accountable only to the voters of A-State, and the overall interests of the United States are his business.

Similarly, when he becomes a member of the SAEP, he needs to balance the economic interests of the various states within the jurisdiction of the ESDC. When he became a member of the upper state council, the scope of responsibility was further expanded.

If you really care about the interests of the whole United States, you have to wait until you become president, or become the president of a certain department of the Union.

All of the above refer to elected officials. If it is a clerk, then there is a principle for clerks to do things.

For example, the governors of various state ministries have nothing to do with the voters. Only the governor is elected, and the governors of the ministries in the state are appointed by the governor, so they don't have to think about what the voters think, they just need to serve the governor well and be accountable to the governor.

This kind of traditional culture of the United States has brought about one consequence: before you become president, your staff and partners can allow you to boldly entrap the overall interests of the United States in exchange for the interests of more small groups for which you are responsible.

Even if you become president one day, you will never liquidate your partner because he cheated on the interests of the United States and helped the interests of the small group at that time, because you know that at that time it was "each his own master" and it was irreproachable.

This may be the sadness of the overdeveloped rule of law in the United States.

Sometimes, it is even necessary to deliberately put the overall interests in the time lag between you before and about to become president, so that voters will see that your predecessor is so incompetent and has corrupted the situation so out of control, and the contrast between your elimination of bad governance after you take office will be more obvious.

In other words, a US president, the day before he became the president of the United States, still hoped that the United States would be worse, so as to reflect his good after taking office.

Yin Jian is not far away, just four years ago, the day before Li Gen became president, he still desperately did not want the Iranian hostage crisis to be resolved, and he wished that those hundreds of American citizens would be directly shot dead by Iranian thugs, so that Carter would die.

And Gu Biao spent so much time testing each other with Senior Bill, just hoping that the other party would see clearly: I may do something that is not good for the long-term interests of the United States, but is good for the interests of our small group, and my brother is helping you.

……

"It's almost time? Are you leaving? Then I would like to congratulate you on your successful election to the Southern American Economic Development Policy Committee in the middle of the year. I'll send you out. ”

Gu Biao and Senior Bill had a good conversation, and finally it was time to say goodbye. Gu Biao also got up in person and sent the Bill couple away.

On the last stretch of the road from the living room to the garden gate, Gu Biaotu said a few words of summary showdown:

"Senior, when the time comes, I may have some acquisitions in technology companies in the southern states, and the specific manager will be Mr. Peterson of the Blackstone Fund, and you should also know this person, he is the director of business BU ten years ago - but you can rest assured, it is definitely good for the performance data in the past few years that you have served as a member of the Economic Development Policy Committee of the United States and South Africa.

I'm just overdrawing the sustainable development potential of the relevant companies in the next three to five years in exchange for better financial statement data and brighter economic data at present. Besides, those tech giants must also be the ones who have resisted your plan in the near future, so why save face for them.

And three to five years later, I believe that you are no longer just a member of the South American Economic Development Policy Committee, I believe that with your young and promising, dare to fight, you are the only one in the seat of the State Federation.

So why should you sacrifice the pretty numbers of your tenure for the sake of whether the person who will take over your seat on the Council for Economic Development in three or five years' time will be better?"

Senior Bill's expression changed a few times.

If it weren't for Gu Biao having such a deep cooperative relationship with him, he would definitely pretend to be righteous and selfless, and then say that he didn't understand what you were saying at all, and he was businesslike.

Now, however, the time has come.

Gu Biao helped him so much, pushed him to that position, what other secrets are there that are not to be said? What else is pure and easy to pretend?

Bill ended up with a simple question, "Are you here to make money?"

Gu Biao smiled calmly: "Of course, it's to make money." Even if you master some core technologies, the ultimate goal is to make money. ”

Bill nodded slightly: "Don't overdo it, I hope you have maintained perfect financial data before sending me to the upper state union to sit on the table, and don't leave any scandal handles, otherwise I will take matters into account." ”

This sentence means that a dirty deal for the sake of the interests of a small group and endangering the overall interests of the United States has been reached.

Bill will provide enough convenience for Gu Biao, as long as Gu Biao does not have a scandal.

And how could an old yin beep like Gu Biao leave a handle.

……

After sending off Senior Bill, Gu Biao turned around and recruited Mr. Peter Peterson, the former head of business in the United States and the current founder of Blackstone Investment Fund, who had been drinking with Kissinger three months ago and before Kissinger's retirement, plus his partner Schwartzman.

In the past few months, Peterson has not had much business, just busy with some transactional work after the company's start-up, and helping Sony's Akio Morita to do some preliminary work before getting into Columbia Records and acquiring it.

In addition, Gu Biao gave him a little money to test the water and see this guy's investment vision.

Now, with Bill's part done, Gu Wei's fangs that plagued Americans are finally about to be exposed.

After Peterson arrived at Gu Biao's villa, Gu Biao just poured a glass of wine and said straight to the point:

"I'm not afraid to tell you something, Senior Bill, who has a good relationship with me, will be able to become a member of the Southern Economic Development Policy Committee in a few months. As a junior, of course I have to support him, and at the same time make a little money myself-

From today onwards, I will inject capital into your Blackstone Fund, and I need your Blackstone Fund to come forward and slowly acquire Texas Instruments stocks in the market. ”

Peterson's spirits perked up slightly: "Do you think that Texas Instruments' stock price is undervalued? It is suitable to wait for appreciation after holding? At the same time, Deyi is a rare non-Silicon Valley electronic high-tech enterprise, and it is located in Texas, which should be the only electronic technology giant in the southern states." Do you think that making Deyi's data more beautiful will help Governor Bill's political performance?"

Gu Biao: "It's not very underestimated, there must be underestimation." If we can improve our business decisions after holding shares, then the company will grow more aggressively, and the current stock price will be relatively undervalued. ”

Peterson was shocked: "Improvement business decisions......? Are you going to let Blackstone increase its holdings to the point of holding a large share? That would have to invest at least a billion dollars! As far as I know, Deyi's current market capitalization is $1.8 billion, and if there are buyers who try to go private, the total value will inevitably rise by more than $2 billion.

Oh...... Of course, if it's you, you can get that much with pooled money. But isn't your own business afraid of problems in the capital chain? ”

Gu Biao smiled, a mere $2 billion plate, which shows how Texas Instruments is a twilight company that "got up early in the morning and rushed to a late meeting".

Texas Instruments started very early in the electronics and semiconductor industry, and in the 60s, NASA's Apollo moon landing program made a lot of contributions, and in the 60s and 70s, it was almost the world's first echelon in the field of electronic semiconductors, and the top three in the competitiveness of irons.

However, after the second half of the 80s, Deyi suffered a heavy setback in the competition with Intel, and the follow-up development took many detours, which also led to a president-level executive Zhang Zhongmou who ran away because of a disagreement with the concept and returned to Wanwan to found TSMC - that kind of stumbling to thoroughly explain a lot of words, you can check the information yourself, roughly similar to the development trajectory of Motorola.

By 2019, Texas Instruments has a market value of barely $100 billion, which belongs to the level of just squeezing into the world's top 500, that is, hovering between 400~500.

At the time of the subprime mortgage crisis in '08, the total market value of its stock price was about $20 billion, and in 1984 it was only $1.8 billion - look at other successful American tech giants, how many times the market value has increased in 20 years, and Deyi has only doubled 10 times, which is really twilight.

In the face of Peterson's question, he also did not want to deceive: "I do have plans to hold large shares, and money is not an issue." I can still get a billion US dollars, and although Tiankun is not a listed company, it can also carry out equity-backed debt financing. ”

Peterson pondered: "However, you are Chinese, and if you want to hold a large stake in a sensitive high-end electronic technology company like Texas Instruments, I am afraid that you will face supervision." ”

Gu Biao tapped the coffee table with his knuckles and reminded: "It's your Blackstone Fund that holds the shares, not me." I'm just going to fund your Blackstone fund and reap the benefits of its investment.

Moreover, if it is not difficult at all, why should I choose you as a fund company that has been opened by a former commercial BU in the United States? Besides, by the time you are ready to raise your cards, I believe that Senior Bill will already be on the board of the South American Economic Development Policy Committee. Texas economic investment affairs, he has the ability to help us mediate. ”

Gu Biao helped Senior Bill so much, and if he helped one more, why didn't the other party cooperate.

Moreover, Gu Biao is confident that he will ensure that this time bomb will not explode during Bill's tenure, so he will beat the drum and pass the flowers to his next family.
