Chapter 252: You Must Have Betrayed Your National Interests
Jiang Yuan chose this city without hesitation:
"I want this oil field. β
"Vladivostok, the largest port in the Far East?" Maria looked at carefully:
"I look at the data, oh, three years ago a 30 billion cubic meter natural gas mine was discovered here, and at the same time 200 million tons of oil, it was extracted at a depth of between 5,300 meters and 6,000 meters. If natural gas is converted into oil, the total reserves of the oil and gas field are estimated to be 400 million tons. β
Her face was unwavering, and there were no mood swings.
For her, it's the same in any oil field, she just needs money.
Mary asked:
"If there is no problem, I will calculate the terms of cooperation according to the price of this oil and gas mine?"
"Of course!" Jiang Yuan said affirmatively.
......
......
On BBC TV, David Roosevelt is being interviewed by the famous talk show host George Carlin.
The gray-haired George Carlin sat across from him, and after the initial heat, he immediately said aggressively:
"Mr. David, just now, President Plante tweeted that 620 million of your campaign funds came from the Deep Thinking Group. Do you admit it?"
No matter how good Davy's relationship with the media is, once he gets on the final stage of the election, everything changes.
Exposing the shortcomings of candidates is something that every media loves to do, even if you were the father of the host of the column before, it is useless.
Attacking the campaigners can sell a good message to the general audience, 'You see, I am an elite with the world in mind, and I will not side with these dirty politicians, and I will resolutely expose their black history to the toiling masses so that the voters will not be misled,' and at the same time earn a lot of ratings.
It can be described as a good thing for both fame and fortune.
So the hosts of every TV station are very energetic.
David Roosevelt, who was still smiling, froze when he heard this.
The origin of this money is exposed!
Someone leaked!
The team behind him went through a sophisticated operation to ensure that no one could find the real source of the money for the time being.
Of course, the fundamental source of such a huge campaign fund cannot be hidden for too long.
He doesn't expect to be able to hide it from everyone forever, as long as it doesn't go undetected during the campaign.
Who knew it was just the beginning of being dug up?
There are traitors in my team!
Someone was bought by Plante!
David reacted immediately, and then immediately fell into a dilemma.
Do you admit it or not?
Admit?
Okay, can you explain?
Why did a Chinese businessman give away so much campaign money in the general election of the Eagle Nation?
$620 million is simply appalling, Jiang Yuan wants to buy a president for you?!
What is the relationship between the two of you?
Have you come to an agreement with the invisible?
Why is he so supportive of you?
Did you promise to betray the national interests of the Eagle Nation?
What did you say?
No more agreements?
Ghost believes!
That's $620 million, not straw paper!
This is also the reason why David is in a hurry to step on the top position of the Shensi Group.
He had already discovered this problem, and he had to dissociate himself from Jiang Yuan.
If you don't prove your innocence before anyone finds out, it will be too late when someone finds out later.
But now that the source of funding is exposed, his deployment has been completely disrupted.
Or, don't admit it?
Stop it!
This is worse than the former.
Once the source of funds is confirmed to be from Shensi Group, he has no credit!
In the Eagle Country, personal credit is a very serious matter, and it is taboo for public figures to lie in public, and even more so for politicians.
The rules of the game are that you can lie, but you must not be caught.
How else can a lying politician win an election?
The host saw David's hesitation, and immediately chased after him:
"What? Does Mr. Jiang Yuan have any additional requirements when he gives you campaign funds? This demand should form an agreement, right? Can you tell us the content of the agreement? You don't want to say? Is there something unspeakable?"
David is vomiting blood, you kid is too ruthless, it's all heart-wrenching!
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind:
"Funding does come from the Deep Thinking Group, but it's just ordinary campaign money, legally ...... through super PACs"
"Then why can you hide the source of your funds?" interrupted Davy.
"I'm not hiding! I'm just ......," David retorted unhappily.
"No, you're hiding it!" according to the information in my hand......" the host interrupted David again, and read quickly into a piece of paper:
"The money was divided into four tranches and then went to the Roosevelt Fund China branch and then the Roosevelt Fund headquarters, and then disappeared after a complicated operation, and now we find that it suddenly entered your campaign fund. It can be seen that your intention to conceal it is very obvious. β
David was speechless for a moment, and could only remain silent.
I've dug up another big news!
620 million!
Is the Chinese businessman manipulating the Eagle Nation election?
The host was excited in his heart, and said sadly on the surface:
"It's common for a general election to receive support from businessmen from other countries, but 620 million is too much. What did you promise that oriental genius to make him willing to pay such a big price? Are you betraying the national interests of the Eagle Country?"
"No, I didn't! Those were the two times Jiang Yuan paid me, the first time ......" David almost said out.
He couldn't tell the media about Jiang Yuan's attack, because it was kept secret.
At the same time, he could not say that he had received information in advance from a C.I.A. director named Roosevelt, who would have been sent to prison for leaking military secrets.
"What was the first time?" the moderator asked unceremoniously.
Roosevelt could only be silent again.
......
......
As soon as the news of David Roosevelt's acceptance of Jiang Yuan's huge financial support was broadcast, it caused a huge repercussion.
The people of the Eagle Nation simply vomited blood.
The biggest symbol of boiling oil, the greatest pride of the lighthouse country, the 2020 general election, was actually interfered by a businessman in the red country!
"The Black Spot of Oil, the Interference of Chinese Businessmen in the Eagle Nation Election!" -- Washington Daily News
"Is David Roosevelt running for president of the Eagle Nation or a Chinese national?" -- The New York Times
"The most profitable business in history, the Eagle State election, the modern LΓΌ Buwei with strange goods!"
As soon as Jiang Yuan left the Hilton Hotel, he was surrounded by reporters for an interview, and only then did he know that David had made a big basket in the Eagle Country.
Of course, he could explain to David that it was just a gratuity, but it couldn't be believed, and it would have dispelled a lot of doubts.
But why should I help this guy?
Jiang Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, deliberately lowered his face and said:
"I'm sorry, trade secrets, no comment. β
No comment?
The reporters were suddenly like a treasure!
Sure enough, there is a conspiracy!
Isn't no comment the best advice?
David, who was following the development, almost squirted a mouthful of old blood on the TV.
Trade secrets, your sister!
I have nothing to say to your sister!
This bastard sinks me!
