Rick looks like he is in his thirties, he is five big and three thick, and he has a beard, which looks a little rough, and Rick's speech and demeanor really show his rough side.

He looked like a rough man, but Gao Yang didn't dare to really treat Rick as a rough man, he smiled and said, "Security services? Of course we have." ”

Rick immediately slapped his hand and said loudly: "Very good, have time to come to my office to talk, or I will go to your office to talk, our company needs to send a group of staff to Iraq to install and debug equipment, their safety problems have been bothering me, man, I believe that there is a boss with good marksmanship, then his people will not be bad, we can cooperate." ”

Gao Yang smiled and said: "Of course, it's good to have business coming to the door, but I don't really understand, in this case, isn't it the Iraqi or American government that provides security? Why do you still need to pay for security yourself?"

Rick shook his head and smiled: "Of course, we have always had the Iraqi security forces to provide perimeter security, and the PMC from the United States to provide the inner layer of protection, but, man, this time we provide equipment in the form of interest-bearing loans, and then slowly repay our loans with the crude oil extracted, and there are few companies willing to do this, so since we have agreed to this cooperation method, then of course the security side has the right to make requests, and I am now planning to ask Solar System to provide us with security services." ”

Gao Yang is still a little excited, the business is coming to the door, the personnel problem is not a problem, even if it is other old PMC companies, the people sent to Iraq are temporarily recruited. One contract for one task. In layman's terms. Just recruit some temporary workers.

Gao Yang spread his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, we can discuss this issue carefully when we have time." ”

Rick lifted the bottle and said loudly, "Drink, let's not talk about business today." ”

When Gao Yang and Rick put down the wine bottle at the same time, they heard someone behind them say, "Gentlemen, you seem to be having a good time, can you interrupt?"

Gao Yang turned sideways slightly. But he saw a person talking to him with a smile, which was Andrew, the target he wanted to contact.

Andrew stretched out his hand to Gao Yang and said with a smile: "Introduce yourself, Andrew Quincy Adams, Mr. Gao, please allow me to pay tribute to your marksmanship." ”

Gao Yang stood up, shook Andrew's hand, and said with a smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Adams." ”

Andrew laughed and said, "Just call me Andrew." All right, Mr. Gao. I won't bother you with Mr. Perry's conversation. ”

Rick just smiled at Andrew and nodded in greeting, but did not invite him to sit down, but Murray, who was not far away, suddenly said, "Hey, Andrew, sit down and taste my roast." ”

Andrew was a little flattered, and he immediately said, "I am so honored to have tasted Mr. Perry's craftsmanship." ”

Murray's barbecue invited a lot of people, and this barbecue meeting did have the same effect as the cocktail party in New York, which was a very relaxed informal occasion, but not everyone was qualified to sit down and eat the meat that Murray grilled himself, and as a regular guest who had not yet come out, Andrew was obviously not qualified.

After waiting for Andrew to pick up the plate in flattery, Murray took the shelf and smiled, "Here's a steak." ”

Putting a piece of steak into Andrew's plate, Murray smiled at Gao Yang: "Gao, you should talk to Andrew more, because your righteous position is very close, oh, one more thing, Andrew is a candidate for the House of Representatives." ”

Murray's words are very informative, and Andrew can understand that Murray is promoting him, or helping him, helping him get an opportunity to communicate with Gao Yang, that is.

And Gao Yang's side, Murray's short sentence is also endorsing him, if he is a nobody, he is not qualified to let Murray talk to someone in a matter, so Murray's words are to help Gao Yang raise his value, so Andrew thinks that he is a big man with a lot of background or strength.

One sentence has to make both of them admit his affection, and one sentence can also show that they Gao Yang and Andrew can have common interests, Murray looks like an ordinary Texas farmer, but in fact he is a goblin, Gao Yang has never dared to judge people by their appearance, but at this time he still sighed in his heart that there is no simple big man.

Gao Yang has no position on righteousness, Murray is talking nonsense, he just pushes the boat with the water, so he raised the wine bottle and smiled at Andrew: "Oh, Mr. Adams is running for the House of Representatives? ”

Andrew put down the plate, picked up the wine bottle, and said with a smile: "Thank you, by the way, call me Andrew." ”

The two touched the bottle and took a sip together, but Rick suddenly seemed to notice something, he stood up, and smiled: "Sorry, guys, I have to go and say hello to a friend, you guys talk slowly." ”

Rick walked away, making room for Goyan and Andrew.

Can't come up and talk about providing campaign funds, although Gao Yang wants to send it, Andrew dreams of receiving, but there has to be a process, so the two started chatting from shooting, and then talked about the customs of Texas, and finally talked about the three basketball teams in Texas, the Spurs Rockets and the Mavericks, in fact, Andrew wants to talk more about football, but unfortunately Gao Yang doesn't understand, but Andrew must have something to talk about, even if he doesn't have to talk, Andrew has to talk.

After chatting about basketball for a while, Gao Yang remembered that if Frye wanted to play baseball, the first team to join would definitely be the Texas Rangers, so he suddenly came to his senses and smiled at Andrew: " You know, I have a brother who is a talented pitcher, he is definitely going to join the Texas Rangers, you can cheer him on when the time comes, believe me, he is really a genius, the owner of the New York Yankees dreamed of him joining, he talked to me several times, unfortunately my brother has no plans to play professional baseball for the time being, but I want him to try to get into the major league this year. ”

Speaking of Fry, Gao Yang couldn't help but smile, with a proud look on his face, as if talking about the father of a promising son, although Frye was not his son but his brother.

Andrew was stunned, and then said in surprise: "Are you serious?"

Gao Yang nodded and said, "Of course, of course I'm serious, man, I know you may not believe it, but what I said is true and not false at all, I don't know when you will see him play, but you will definitely be able to see it, it's a matter of time." ”

Andrew slapped his leg and said excitedly: "I'm Arlingtonian, tall, I'm Arlingtonian!" Man, the Texas Rangers' home game is in Arlington, and I'm Arlingtonian, I've always been proud that Arlington has a top league team, and although the Rangers' record isn't very good, I have to be loyal to my hometown team, so man, I'm a die-hard fan." ”

It doesn't matter whether Andrew is a die-hard fan or not, he can be a die-hard basketball fan or a die-hard football fan, the key is that he needs to love that kind of sport in front of Gao Yang, but looking at Andrew's appearance, Gao Yang estimates that Andrew is really a baseball fan, after all, a small satellite city next to Dallas has a Major League Baseball team, and Arlingtonians will indeed be proud.

As if getting closer, Andrew raised the bottle and said with a smile: "I wish your brother to join the Texas Rangers as soon as possible!"

Touching the wine bottle, Gao Yang smiled confidently: "He will definitely join, just like you will definitely be elected to the council." ”

Andrew shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "Maybe your brother will definitely join the Texas Rangers, but I am not necessarily, in fact, I am not very optimistic about my career." ”

Gao Yang put down the wine bottle and said with a serious face: "Why do you say that?"

Andrew shrugged: "Quite simply, my competitors are strong, and I need a lot of campaign money to improve my odds. ”

Gao Yang gestured between him and Andrew with his hand, and said with a serious face: "I think we are already friends, what do you think?"

Andrew smiled: "Of course, of course we are already friends, so it goes without saying." ”

Gao Yang nodded, and said in a deep voice: "As a friend, I feel obliged to help my friend a little, well, I can't help you much, all I can do is to provide some funds, I am willing to fund your campaign." ”

Andrew looked surprised, he spread his hands, exhaled, then raised the wine bottle, and said with a serious face: "This, how to say, I have nothing more to say, thank you for your generosity, friend." ”

After drinking with Andrew, Gao Yang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I am willing to provide a million dollars to fund your campaign, I may not be able to attend your fundraising rally or other channels to donate, so please give me a fundraising account for you." ”

The rest, there is no need to talk about it in detail, because it doesn't matter what, as long as Gao Yang said that he wants to pay for it, it is enough, what should be done by both parties, what should be done, they are very clear in their hearts.

Andrew is really happy, because a million dollars is a huge amount of money, and it is really a lot of money for campaign money, especially the election of the House of Representatives, which is a huge amount of money that people can't refuse at all.

The atmosphere was more harmonious and warm, Gao Yang and Andrew chatted for more than forty minutes before finally ending the conversation.

After successfully completing his first contact with Andrew, Gao Yang began to meet new "friends" again, and when he slipped to Morgan's side, Morgan smiled and whispered, "How is it?"

"It was good, it went well, everything went as planned. (To be continued......)
