668 Numerous giants are coming
With the Glasssteagall Act dead in name only, the day for its repeal is approaching, and this is not actually the result of a compromise between Wall Street and Washington.
It is said that Wall Street controls the United States, although there are exaggerated claims, but there is some truth in it. Politics is the continuation of the economy and the art of compromise, and American politics has always been the product of mutual compromise between corporate politics and government.
Of course, it is too complicated, although Li Feng is now a big man in the United States, but after all, the time is still short, and it does not play much role in such a big change. Today, as long as I grasp the pulse of this era, accumulate food and develop silently.
After communicating with a group of Wall Street bigwigs, Li Feng at least felt that he had benefited a lot, especially since he had the memory of later generations, and he could always find some traces of the game between the two parties and a favorable foundation for the development of his career.
After communicating with several Wall Street bigwigs and exchanging contact information, Li Feng finally said goodbye and left, after all, all the characters in tonight's party have appeared, and it is impossible for him to just stare at a limited number of big people, among which there are many hidden giants and hidden dragons, which is worth Li Feng to befriend them.
As Li Feng wandered around the party again, however, Li Feng was the focus after all, and he was pulled away again after a while, and this time it was 'his own people' who pulled Li Feng away.
"Robert, James, when did you two get here?"
"John, we've been here for a while, but we're a little later than you. ”
"It's been okay lately!"
"Haha... , everything went well, all was not bad. ”
“…”
……
As he walked, Li Feng chatted casually with his two 'own people', James Woolsey and Robert Gates, one was vice president and director of Northrop Raytheon, and the other was the president of Li Feng's consulting firm in Washington.
"Robert, James, you've finally brought in your current 'boss'. ”
"Yes, there are too many people who want to be our 'boss', now I'll give you a chance to introduce yourself. Robert Gates replied with a laugh and a joke.
Obviously, it can be seen from the conversation between the three of them that they should be very familiar 'old friends'.
"John, let me introduce you to Richard Cheney, who is now the president and CEO of Haliburton Company, and who had previously worked with Robert as Secretary of Defense during the old Bsh. James Woolsey smiled at this time and introduced humanity to Li Feng on the side.
"Haha... , James, your news is outdated, I have met John before, and I know each other. As soon as James Woolsey's words fell, Cheney, the American bigwig, immediately laughed and replied.
"Uh... Cheney, you're really, deliberately, aren't you?"
"Haha..."
"Mr. Cheney, it's a pleasure to meet again, and the last time I met George, I talked about you and the Halliburton Company. Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Yes, John, I heard that you directly acquired Michelle Energy, and you should strengthen cooperation in the future!"
"I think so, but now Michelle Energy is losing money every day, you need to help more!"
"That's all a small thing, just keep in touch and strengthen cooperation in the future. ”
“…”
……
At this time, Li Feng remembered who this big man was, and this figure was also counted, serving in two generations of President Bush, serving as Secretary of Defense during the early age of Bush, and serving as vice president during the Bush Jr. period, and was praised by the United States as the 'most powerful vice president'.
Li Feng had the impression that he had had a contact with someone at a meeting under the introduction of George W. Bush, but of course, it was only a brief contact.
At the beginning, Robert Gates was also a single CIA director during the old Bsh, and Cheney and Cheney were once co-employed by Bush Sr., and they were old friends, no wonder when Li Feng and the three came over before, Cheney and Robert and James were so casual, obviously, the relationship should be very good.
"John, I don't think you'll be a stranger to you, right?" said James Woolsey again to an old man with glasses next to him.
"Haha... James, am I so lonely in your eyes, don't I even know the Secretary of Defense of the United States, Mr. William Perry, hello, nice to meet you!" Li Feng replied with a laugh.
"Hello, John, I've heard of your name for a long time, and I've never had a chance to see you, but now I finally know you, don't you?"
"Okay, it's best if you all know each other, and Perry isn't an outsider now, I'll talk again when I have a chance in the future, John, I'll introduce you to a few new friends. ”
"Uh..."
"Oh, John, don't you know, Perry has just retired from Washington, D.C., and is now an independent director of Northrop Raytheon and vice president of a consulting firm. Robert Gates also explained with a smile at this time.
"Oh, how I don't know. ”
"Haha... , No, Perry also recently agreed, and Henry said he was going to surprise you. ”
"Well, this is really a huge surprise!" Li Feng also replied happily.
……
That's right, Li Feng is naturally happy to be able to let the newly retired Secretary of Defense join his own company, think about what a US Secretary of Defense can represent when he joins Northrop Raytheon, to put it bluntly, maybe it can bring huge government military orders and potentially huge influence in the future.
"This is Admiral Owens of the Navy... He is also the Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (Joint Chiefs of Staff). ”
"This is Air Admiral Jerez..."
"This is Mr. William, a senior senator in the Senate. ”
"This is the House of Representatives..."
As James Woolsey introduced the rest of the people to himself, a burst of iron and blood suddenly came to his face, but he didn't expect to introduce several military generals in the next row, including the top giants of the three major branches of the military.
Similarly, in addition to a few military giants, there are several senior members of the two houses, the kind of senior members who have been re-elected for two or three consecutive terms, and they are definitely well-known figures in American politics.
After some greetings, everyone can be regarded as acquainted, and similarly, Li Feng also secretly said in his heart, if you want to say that you met a predator in the American economic circle before, then now you are a big man in the American political circle.
When many giants arrived, they met and intersected with him, and Li Feng was still happy in his heart.
……
"James, I didn't expect you all to come to this party!" Holding back a burst of horror in his heart, Li Feng said with a smile.
"Hehe... Maybe it's the PNC group or the Morgan family can't help but want to make a noise, no, this time the party has put a lot of thought into it, and invited a lot of heavyweights. James Woolsey quipped with a peculiar smile.
"Hehe... "James, I'm just realizing, how do you feel like you're a little bad?"
"John, you just found out, James has always been like this, you found out too late!"
"You..."
"Haha..."
“…”
