Facing the few bigwigs who came up, Li Feng greeted a few people with a smile, and quickly became acquainted with each other on the premise that both parties were enthusiastic.

"John, it's a pleasure to be here tonight, I'm here because of the decision of the board of directors of the RAND headquarters, inviting you to join the RAND and become the director of the LAND Los Angeles branch, I hope you can consider it. After some small talk, Michael Ridge, RAND's vice president and manager of the Los Angeles branch, spoke first.

"John, I also just heard the news, don't think about me, you can make your own decisions. Seeing Li Feng's eyes looking at him, Rumsfeld immediately shrugged his shoulders and replied with a smile.

As a member of RAND's advisory group, Rumsfeld did only learn that RAND had such a sudden decision after he had just come into contact with Michael, the manager of the Los Angeles branch.

At this time, Li Feng thought to himself, although his career was in full swing before, he was obviously being observed before, with the development of his various undertakings this year, especially the super development of Blackwater this year, he has finally entered the eyes of the top forces of the US imperialists, and he can be regarded as one of them.

No, in addition to Carlyle's investment before, now even the US imperialist super think tank like Rand has begun to pay attention to themselves, and they have all issued invitations to themselves.

……

For the previous Carlyle investment, after thinking about it for a few days, Li Feng had already agreed to become a limited partner, and the rights he got were actually similar to the treatment they had received from Soros before.

It can be said that Li Feng's limited partner has much greater authority in terms of authority than ordinary limited partners, and the responsibilities to be borne are almost the same as those of ordinary limited partners.

Regarding the invitation from Rand's side, Li Feng was happy in his heart, but also thinking.

Although RAND is the largest think tank of the US imperialist government, in fact, today's RAND is not only on the side of the US imperialist government, but also in the world, and has a certain influence in many government agencies.

In addition to the government, in the enterprise, RAND has also had a huge influence, and many large enterprises have handed over the consulting business to the RAND.

Another point is that the RAND Research Institute, a subsidiary of the RAND Corporation, is known as the world's highest decision analysis school, focusing on training senior decision analysts, since its inception in the 70s, the talents of the college have spread all over the political and business circles in the United States, and even to the world.

Li Feng is now also starting to set up a think tank for himself and even the future Li family, including the previous intelligence analysis agency, this agency was independent from the black water at that time, which belongs to the Li consortium in the future century, at this time, Li Feng is also thinking about whether he is going to dig up those senior talents of the RAND Research Institute and become a member of his think tank.

……

Although this time he is only the director of the Los Angeles branch, Li Feng does not have any dissatisfaction with this, after all, you want to become the top as soon as you join, where is there such a beautiful thing, but the status of the Los Angeles branch in the RAND Corporation is still very high, second only to Washington, and can be equal to the New York branch.

In the end, although he did not immediately agree to others, saying that he would think about it a little, but in Li Feng's heart, he still agreed, after all, by joining it, he could also better understand the essence of American imperialism.

Yes, the RAND Corporation has been a think tank of all walks of life in the US imperialist government since World War II, not to mention anything else, just the legendary RAND Corporation database, there are many declassified materials, and these materials are of extraordinary value.

Although Li Feng could not immediately read all the information, at least, after becoming the director of the Los Angeles branch, he still had a certain amount of authority to understand something.

Everyone present is a person who understands, although Li Feng said that he thought about it, but everyone in the audience knew that this was really a little reserved shirk, no matter in all aspects, becoming one of the decision-making directors of the LAND Los Angeles branch Obviously, the benefits to Li Feng outweigh the disadvantages.

Rand wants Li Feng to join, it is nothing more than Li Feng's super business sense, and now, everyone knows that Li Feng has an unusual business sense, just look at the development of his company, and similarly, Li Feng's ambition has now been revealed, just look at the development of his company.

And looking at the current situation, Li Feng has completely become a climate, not the kind of rootless drifting, since it is already like this, then if the suppression is not successful, it will be wooed.

As for the increasing influence, there may be but it must not be the main one, after all, in terms of influence, the influence of the RAND Corporation in the political and business circles of the United States and imperialism is definitely not comparable to Li Feng.

If Li Feng joins RAND, it will be very beneficial to enhance Li Feng's status in US imperialism, and he can contact all parties in the political and business circles of US imperialism through RAND, not to mention the role that Li Feng can play in the development of US imperialism, which is obvious.

……

"Speaking of which, San Diego also has a branch of the RAND Corporation, and I am also one of the directors of RAND San Diego, John, perhaps, we will be colleagues in the future. Grumman's president, Kent Cresa, interjected with a smile at this time.

"Oh, maybe, I also hope to have the opportunity to work with all the big guys, I'm a little arm and leg, and I need a lot of care from you in the future. Li Feng smiled and joked at a few people beside him, which immediately caused a group of old foxes to laugh.

Li Feng didn't know about Kent Cressa becoming a director of the RAND Corporation, but considering that the Los Angeles branch invited him to become a branch director, then it was logical for San Diego to invite Kent Cressa to become a director.

After all, San Diego is the home of Grumman, and it has such close ties with the US imperialist military, especially the navy, and RAND can also be said to be one of the military's most important think tanks.

For most people in China, when it comes to California cities, most of them think of Los Angeles and San Francisco, who makes the characteristics of these two cities too obvious today, Hollywood in Los Angeles and Silicon Valley in San Francisco.

But in fact, San Diego, California, has always been known as the second largest city, and of course, economically speaking, it is also the existence after Los Angeles and San Francisco.

……

But what makes Santiago even more famous in the United States is that San Diego has many military bases, mainly the Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard.

Including docks, shipyards, naval training bases, marine training bases and other military facilities, it is also known as the "birthplace of naval aviation". In addition, there are three famous aircraft carrier formations, namely the Roosevelt, the Eisenhower, and the Reagan.

If you travel to Santiago, if you are lucky, you may be able to see several large aircraft carriers in the distance on the beach, and Santiago is close to Mexico, which can be said to be one of the most important military bases of the US Imperial Navy, and its status as a city can be imagined.

"John, Henry, this time, in addition to congratulating you on the merger of Blackwater and Thor, I am appointed by the board of directors and came with a mission, I wonder if you are interested in hearing about it?" Just as Li Feng's mind was turning, Kent Cressa, the arms tycoon, spoke again.

Seeing that everyone was staring at him, Kent said slowly with a straight face: "I know that you Heishui and Thor have just merged, I wonder if you are interested in merging again?"

……

“hat？”

"What?"

"Blackwater Thor and Northrop Grumman?"

"Naturally," Kent replied calmly.

Thundered...... With Kent's affirmative answer, everyone's hearts were shocked.
