Zhang Chen knew very well that today's meeting was just a temptation, and an old fox like Greenspan, even if he had any plans in his heart, would not show any clues at the first meeting.

In today's reception, except for Zhang Chen and Tang Miaomiao, there are only a few Chinese faces, almost all of them are women, most of them are ABC who came to the United States decades ago, and have become marginal figures in New York's high society by virtue of their wealthy family background.

Zhang Chen and Tang Miaomiao naturally have no common language with them, and after coming to the United States for so long, Zhang Chen has long found that sometimes, the most difficult thing to communicate with is these ABCs who think they have squeezed into the mainstream American society.

"On Capitol Hill, D'Amato is certainly a popular guy, but he's been in New York for eighteen years, and the city has given him plenty of patience. I think it's time for New Yorkers to change their tastes, and while pizza is delicious, green food is better for your health. Not far from Zhang Chen, a man in a smart suit who looked to be in his early fifties was chatting with the people around him with a wine glass.

Zhang Chen couldn't help but look at it twice, and Sheryl Sandberg introduced in a low voice: "Charles Schumer, one of the members of the House of Representatives representing New York, participated in the Senate election this year, and just defeated Geraldine Filaro and Mark Green in the party election with a high vote, and will officially challenge El Damato's Senate seat in the special election in November." ”

Zhang Chen nodded, he had already recognized this congressman who liked to be in the limelight. Charles Schumer is a natural politician and very good at hyping himself, and Zhang Chen has seen this brain-headed Jewish congressman many times in various newspapers and TV shows, and he is no stranger to his face.

At the same time, Zhang Chen also saw another familiar face beside Charles Schumer.

Cal Icahn.

Of course, Carl Icahn also saw Zhang Chen, and the jealousy in his eyes flashed, before Zhang Chen and Jobs's little tricks not only made him less than 300 million US dollars, but also made him lose tens of millions of dollars in operating costs, which is extremely rare in Carl Icahn's long investment career.

"Of course, the Glasssteagall Act needs to be repealed, and when this bill was introduced, women were still using menstrual belts, haha, at this point, both I and Mr. President have the same opinion, Wall Street is the engine of the American economy, and our responsibility is to provide Wall Street with enough fuel to make this engine spin faster. ”

Charles Schumer was eloquent and eager to come to the party to win over the giants of Wall Street. In New York, whoever becomes governor or senator will obviously not work without the support of Wall Street.

And Carl Icahn is also one of the targets of Charles Schumer's wooing.

"Actually, I'm not worried about Ayr's strengths. True, he has a lot of experience, but his eyes are only on Capitol Hill. Truth be told, he knows too little about the real underlying issues. I visited all 62 counties in New York to learn firsthand about their problems. Whether it's employment or local taxes or community settings, I'm familiar with every place, but I don't think Al would ever know the name of the tribal chief on the Oneida Indian Reservation, right?"

Charles Schumer spoke eloquently, desperately trying to strengthen the confidence of these Wall Street bigwigs around him in his victory, and only by making these people feel that you can win, will they really support you.

The more Carl Icahn looked at Zhang Chen, the more angry he became, and when he heard Charles Schumer's chatter, his heart suddenly moved, and he said expressionlessly: "Mr. Congressman, it is indeed a great achievement to be able to run through the 62 counties of New York. But as a senator, it's not enough to just work hard in your constituency. As a Jewish-American, I would like our senators to be more prominent on the issue of fairness. ”

Carl Icahn, one of Wall Street's most influential bigwigs, spoke unceremoniously to Charles Schumer, implying that Schumer only knew how to put on a show in front of voters.

Charles Schumer is really a natural politician, extremely thick-skinned, while speculating in his heart about Carl Icahn's intentions, while pretending not to understand anything, haha laughed: "Carl, you are right, the United States needs a more level environment, regardless of Latino, African。。。。。。 ”

"I'm not talking about Latinos and blacks. Cal Icahn interrupted Charles Schumer, "It's not just minorities who need equity, in fact, the problem of equity in the United States is very serious right now." Even Wall Street is full of unfairness. ”

Charles Schumer was stunned, Wall Street is unfair? Wall Street is indeed unfair, but it is very fair to you Carl Icahn. As the owner of a vulture fund, what right do you have to say that Wall Street is unfair?

Cal Icahn held his champagne hand and waved it in Zhang Chen's direction: "See that Chinese kid over there?" Zack Chang, the twelfth richest man in Forbes this year. ”

Charles Schumer looked in the direction of Zhang Chen, Zhang Chen was having a good conversation with William McDonough, president of the Reserve Bank of New York, Charles Schumer's eyes flashed, and he didn't know why Carl Icahn mentioned this fiery young billionaire who had recently been fired in China at this time.

"Ah, of course, of course I know him, Wonder Boy, that's what Bill Maher introduced him, right?" Charles Schumer withdrew his gaze and looked at Carl Icahn with a smile.

Carl Icahn's eyelids jumped a few times, and the nickname given to Zhang Chen by the American talk show host reminded him of Marvel, which had already arrived but flown away, and he felt very uncomfortable, "Yes, it's him." Recently, the Nasdaq is facing a crash, and his fortune has shrunk a lot, but that's not what I want to say. In fact, Wall Street is currently facing the largest robbery in history, and the initiator is this cunning and insidious Chinese. The fact that the Federal Reserve, Congress, and the SEC are indifferent to this is undoubtedly a violation of the principle of fairness!"

Charles Schumer was a little unable to adapt to Carl Icahn's hopping chat: "The biggest robbery?

Carl Icahn scoffed, "Haven't you heard?" Mr. Congressman, you might really have to work harder to replace D'Amato on the Bank's Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Have you heard of the Cowyce Fund?"

Charles Schumer was noncommittal, his constituency was Brooklyn and Queens, and while it was inevitable to deal with Wall Street, a small hedge fund firm that had only been established for a year was clearly out of his sights.

"Well, it's normal not to know, this company is a small company, and it hasn't been around for long. But on January 1 of this year, the SEC launched the AST (Alternative Trading System Rule) to give them the opportunity to conduct automated arbitrage trading and market trading services by directly connecting to the exchange's host. ”

Charles Schumer listened a little foggy, "Hmm... Automated Arbitrage Trading 。。。。。。 Any questions?"

Cal Icahn waved his arm excitedly: "What's the problem? Of course there is! After they are directly connected to the main computer of the exchange, they can get the transaction information in the market a few tenths of a second earlier than all other companies, and this despicable Chinese people are originally engaged in computers, and they use computers to quickly calculate programs, buy low and sell high, and complete countless arbitrage transactions in milliseconds, and easily make large profits without any risk! My analysis center once calculated that they make at least 20 million or more profits every day! And all of this is obtained through unfair means!"

"There's no doubt that he's a rat! No! He's a rat head! Commanding his army of rats and trying to empty the granary of Wall Street! Mr. Congressman, I think that's what a senator needs to solve!"

"Two million dollars a day!" Charles Schumer gasped, as he knew the power of money all the better as a fish in water in the American political ecology.

"Congressman, no, future Mr. Senator, after you are elected, there should be one more thing you need to increase your influence on Wall Street, right?" Cal Icahn squinted his eyes and raised his glass, "Of course, this is difficult to do, but I believe that Congress is even more reluctant to see a Chinese kid use immoral means to make American wealth, if you can convince Congress to legislate to ban flash trading, there is no doubt that you will be the most courageous Senator of New York in more than ten years." ”

Yesterday's correction is being made, and the second correction is being written.
