Chapter 321: Self-Sacrifice

There is no doubt that Senator Obama will easily defeat Republican candidate Senator McCain to become the 43rd President of the United States of America. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

On November 4th, after taking over the famous swing state of Virginia, Senator Obama sent a text message to Xu Teng, who was having a banquet for the head of the Catholic Charities Church - now, we can say to the Superlord that we can finally do something right.

At this time, Xu Teng happened to be in Alexandria, Virginia, where the headquarters of the American Catholic Charities is located, and Xu Teng was at a 5-star Hyatt Regency Hotel here, where he hosted the head of the charity, Ms. Lizgallagher.

Charities also use the title of CEO, notably this lady Lizgallagher, who in fact holds the title of American Catholic Monsignor, similar to a knight, while her real origin is the same as her last name, one of the heirs of the Virginia Gallagher family.

In the United States, such an example is a model, where the second and third generations of wealthy people work as leaders in church charities, with extremely high social status and reputation.

Going back a hundred years, the Gallagher family was the first railroad tycoons in Virginia.

What comes to mind when you think of the Pacific Railroad that connects the east and west of the United States?

Xu Teng spent a lot of time in the United States, and at the same time, with the help of many important friends, he began to cut deeper into the elite of American high society.

He has amassed a deep social network in the United States.

Sherlock Holmes, Pritzker family...... The directors of SVB Silicon Silver are all trying to help Xu Teng penetrate into the soul of the United States, and this time the banquet of Ms. Lizgallagher is not only to finally negotiate the merger and acquisition of Ascension Group, but also to negotiate with the other party on the operation of non-profit medical institutions.

If all else goes well, Xu Teng will still entrust the non-profit medical institution to the Catholic Charities, in effect, to continue to be in charge of Ms. Lizgallagher, who needs this kind of non-profit charity.

Ms. Lizgallagher may be a devout Catholic and Republican, but she is also an upper-class American elite who cares a lot about reputation and social status.

To be exact, this is the traditional elite of American society, the conservatives.

Xu Teng's feeling to Americans is completely different from the movies he has starred in, he is very gentlemanly, elegant, and always smiling...... And a little bit of indifference, which is not excessively cold, and his words and deeds are very in line with the standards of the nobility, and, he cherishes the honor of his family very much.

As Xu Teng realized early on, as a rich second generation, he has a wonderful level of trust in American high society.

Xu Teng and the Lizgallagher lady had a good conversation, and they laughed with each other, and Xu Teng also generously signed a check for two million dollars and donated it to the Catholic Charities.

"My parents were very devout Buddhists, and I was obviously not a devout believer in any religion, but, everyone has a heart for goodness, and caring and kindness to human beings is a quality that everyone should have. Xu Teng signed the check and handed it to Ms. Lizgallagher, thanking them for their support of his business merger.

Ms. Lizgallagher came up with a compromise that would allow the business acquisition to go through, while also preserving the role of Catholic Charities in providing accommodation and medical care for the homeless...... Then ask them to return to the bosom of the Lord.

"The-Shunfamliy is an exemplary family with a passion for philanthropy, and my staff told me that your family has donated up to $6 billion over the past decade to support higher education, poverty alleviation and basic science, which is why I am willing to entrust the Ascension Group to Huateng. When I first saw you in person, I thought, God is so loving to you, my dear friend, you are so young and handsome, so healthy and intelligent, that you can succeed in all industries, whether as a writer, or an actor, or as the CEO of a family business. ”

"My friend, you are a true miracle, and only the love of the Creator can make you so bright. Ms. Lizgallagher praised Xu Teng almost explicitly, she was not very old, in her thirties, and she was not particularly beautiful, and she was generally above average American women.

She was so excited, but she didn't beg for fk...... At least not purely fk-seeking.

The Gallagher family, like the Catholic Charities, is the majority shareholder of the Ascension Group, so when Xu Teng proposed a business plan that would make the Ascension Group profitable, especially in the Chinese market, Ms. Lizgallagher, who inherited the shares from the family, was intrigued.

In an almost collusive way, the two devised a perfect plan to persuade the church to give up this part of the asset.

Xu Teng knew that she had a family that looked very good, her husband was a prosecutor, and she had two very beautiful daughters, but her carefully chosen words and eyes were all proving one thing, she wanted FK.

Young handsome tycoon, CEO, action actor, writer, this is probably her best sex fantasy target.

so.

In the middle of the feast, Xu Teng gave her a chance to say something in the bathroom, FK devout Catholic, FK devout Monsignor, FK damn Puritans, FK damn Republican conservative lady.

FK END.

The two continued to lead their respective teams and continued to pretend to negotiate, and it was in this case that Xu Teng received a text message from Senator Obama, fk-damn the Democratic Party's affirmative action movement.

Xu Teng has been trying to convince Senator Obama not to support egalitarianism within the Democratic Party, and Senator Obama has promised not to participate, but there is nothing he can do to stop it, because he naturally has black votes, and those who ...... Clinton, for example, needs to use egalitarianism to absorb black and Hispanic votes.

fk damn the Democrats.

As Senator Obama himself said, the people's vote is both sacred and selfish.

"Congratulations, this is definitely the greatest day in human history. Xu Teng still chose to compliment the incoming president of the United States of America, in fact, he did not particularly care about this friendship.

If you are an American, it must be an honor to share your friendship with the president.

but.

Xu Teng is not an American, he is one of the behind-the-scenes patrons of the US president, and of course, his funding method is very subtle, at least dozens of times smarter than the way Saudi Arabia donated to the Clinton Foundation.

Even if the FBI went all out, it couldn't find any clues about Xu Teng's donation to Senator Obama, which Senator Obama himself knew very well.

The root cause is that SVB's dividends are negotiated, and Xu Teng naturally has 70% of the right to dividends, but he can maintain the dividends at 50% through the company's articles of association and give more dividends to other directors.

These dividends are special donations made by SVB Silicon Silver to the Democratic and Republican parties.

The subtlety of American politics is that there is a cap on funding for candidates, and there is no limit to funding for political parties, and if you set up a political organization that simply promotes a candidate's policies, it doesn't violate any constitutional provisions at all.

By 2010, when the Super Action Committee bill was passed, American politics became even more absurd.

SVB's funding of Obama Senators is not a simple political donation, but provides a comprehensive new media publicity plan, and at the same time, tens of millions of dollars are invested to publicize the urgency of Obama medical reform and social change.

All of this publicity has been very effective in promoting the election of Senator Obama, and Chris, the executive director of SVB Silicon Silver, has resigned to serve as a new media campaign staff member for Senator Obama.

So, no one can find any influence that Xu Teng has had on the election of Senator Obama, and even if you can detect it, you will not be able to find any evidence with legal effect.

At the same time, because of Miss Holmes's importance to the Republican Party, Senator McCain actually benefited from Xu Teng's funding, and through Miss Holmes's NGO organization, he received millions of dollars in political donations more directly.

Even if Senator McCain knew that SVB supported Senator Obama, he would not have raised any objections and would not have held on to the issue.

There is a consensus among the directors that SVB Silicon Silver Co., Ltd. clearly supports free trade and free investment in globalization, LGBT, supports environmental protection and climate control, supports gun ban movements, supports any form of health care reform program that benefits the American people, pursues the principle that more is better than nothing, and at the same time, clearly opposes any affirmative action against Chinese, Indian and other Asian Americans.

Any politician who conforms to these political principles can receive a political contribution from SVB.

Senator McCain got it, Senator Obama got it.

"What are you doing, I thought you would be in the SAR today. "Senator Obama really thought that Xu Teng would be very concerned about his election, after all, this is a real big thing that every American will pay attention to...... Then, Senator Obama realized that Xu Teng didn't even get a green card.

"I am meeting in Virginia with Her Excellency Monsignor, Ms. Lizgallagher, of Catholic Charities, and today, we are all doing the right thing. So, when I get back to Washington, D.C., we should have a small celebration, and you can arrange that, I think, we can invite the staff from both sides to meet. Xu Teng was referring to Senator Obama's suggestion that he hoped to use his political connections to make some special connections with Zhongnanhai and avoid those flashy diplomatic channels.

In fact, this also proves that Senator Obama lacks a staff member who is well-versed in Sino-US relations, so he is willing to invite Xu Teng to participate in this matter, while Xu Teng prefers to keep a certain distance from Sino-US relations, and also keep a distance from politics, and only operate through proxies.

"That's the right thing we said. Senator Obama is talking about Xu Teng's dedication to Obama medical reform, funding the Catholic Charities Association and the Ascension Group, and establishing a non-profit medical institution, perhaps, he really likes Xu Teng, a noble and low-key philanthropist, but he is now the president-elect, this is different, the tone is already like commending Xu Teng, "As I said, you can always easily do these right things." ”

"As I said, it's always about sacrificing yourself to satisfy the desires of others. Xu Teng was talking about the self-sacrifice of closing the door in the men's bathroom just now and letting Ms. Lizgallagher, the "monsignor" of the Catholic Charities, suck heartily.

"Do-your-best, buddy, I really believe that you can change the world, and next week, we can pick the right time, in the right environment, and start something right. "Senator Obama said very vaguely, he has to be careful not to let people find out his secret through text messages now.

In any case, it is by no means a matter of political correctness in the United States to have a Chinese capitalist build a bridge and introduce Chinese and American politicians to meet and communicate with each other.

This thing is not so easy to arrange, there must be a suitable reason and opportunity.

It was almost ten days later that Xu Teng managed to invite more than 10 experts from the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute to the United States for a meeting through the California branch of the China-US Business Association, and then invited Senator Obama's most important aide, Pison Laws, to create an opportunity for the two sides to meet and contact.

This is the legendary folk channel, the folk exchange.

In fact, both sides understand what this contact means, and in addition to the experts of the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute, in addition to the honorary president Jiang Ningyuan, there is another very important high-level think tank attending the meeting.

As we all know, this think tank is not only a giant in the field of economics, but also the direct planner of the 4 trillion policy, and the effect can be described as immediate.

Xu Teng originally thought that the first contact between the two sides would be easy, but the result was not easy, and scholars are scholars after all, and they made the problem too clear, that is, the problem of the US economic structure, and no one else can be blamed.

In the evening, Xu Teng lived in Miss Holmes's century-old mansion in Berkeley, and Petersenlaw actually came over temporarily and asked for a meeting, fortunately tonight was a group gathering of SVB's high-level Silicon Silver Company, otherwise it would be really embarrassing.

This century-old mansion is not actually 100 years old, but it is very close, originally built in 1914 by John Spring, Jr., the second generation of the famous and wealthy California businessman at the time, the real estate developer John Spring Jr., the whole is white walls and courtyard walls in neoclassical style, close to the bay, with a close view of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Xu Teng originally spent $6 million to buy the mansion for Miss Elizabeth Holmes, and later gave her a few million dollars to renovate it, because she often hosts Republican fundraising evenings here, and it is an all-white building complex, and it is also known as the Little White House in Silicon Valley.

President George W. Bush was here in 2007 to give a private speech to rally votes for the Republican Party.

If nothing happens, President Obama will come over, but he will definitely have to wait until next year's holiday to thank the Silicon Valley tech upstarts who voted for him.

As the most important staff member of Senator Obama, Pissenlaw is no stranger to this century-old mansion, having been here twice to attend Chris's fundraising party for Senator Obama.

Xu Teng had never met Petersenlaw, only that his mother was Japanese-American, and his father was a traditional European lawyer, and everyone else had seen him, and everyone was not surprised to hear that he was coming to visit Xu Teng.

A few hours later, accompanied by two agents of the Secret Service, Peesenlaw arrived at the centennial mansion by car.

Agents will not enter this private estate, after all, Pisson Laus is only a possible future chief of staff of the White House, one of the future bosses, and there is no need to carry out strict inspections for the time being.

Pissenlaw didn't seem to expect that the 9 directors of SVB Silicon Silver Company are here, each of them is a new type of capitalist with a great background, none of them is worth less than a billion US dollars, and the two most powerful Xu Teng and Google have a net worth of 10 billion US dollars.

Although it is possible to become the future chief of staff of the White House, Pissenlaw is still very polite to these people, shaking hands one by one, celebrating the victory together, and then hoping to talk to Xu Teng alone.

At this moment, Xu Teng was still holding a glass of Veuve Clicquot champagne, chatting with Chris and Miss Holmes, nodded, and asked the waiter to send a new bottle of Veuve Clicquot champagne to the small living room, and he walked slowly to the small living room with Petersenlaw.

To tell the truth, Xu Teng didn't know what the other party wanted to say.

After closing the door, Xu Teng personally opened the champagne, poured a glass of wine for Petersenlaw, and gave it to him, "If you know me, you will know that every glass of wine and every small gift I give to others is a family inheritance. ”

"Oh, I've heard, some people have said that The-Shunfamliy, through his partnership with the Duke of Westminster, holds Phoenix Capital in the United Kingdom, and controls some of the best liquor companies in the world, such as my favourites Latour and Cloud Bay...... Of course, I often drink Australia's Penfolds with Senator Obama, which is of course the sub-brand of the Katia Group...... Actually, you can also see that we are not so clichéd people, we are Democrats. "Pissen-Roes found a good reason for himself to be good at judging famous wines, and at the same time, he proved that he had investigated Xu Teng's details, so Xu Teng had better tell him the truth.

"So, tell me, why are you here?" Xu Teng could see from the other party's slightly embarrassed expression that the future White House chief of staff may never be the chief of staff of the chief of staff, lacking a little courage, and encountered some incredible things.

"I guess it's a very strange thing that we're doing through your channels...... I was fortunate to get to know several important Chinese political staff, and we were very friendly and had a very frank exchange of issues...... Can I ask more directly, do you want anything from the president?" Pesson Rouse, after talking to the expert think tank of the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute, realized a very important issue, Xu Teng's company has a very special influence on the Asia-Pacific Economic Research Institute, and this think tank also has a special influence on Chinese politics.

The Chinese side admits that it is already preparing large-scale economic stimulus policies and has formulated an investment plan totaling about $400 billion, of which about 20% will be invested in emerging technology industries and adjusting the industrial structure.

The think tank's goal in saying this is very clear, urging the US side to lift the high-tech blockade policy, work with the Chinese community to face the economic crisis.

Rather than easily agreeing to move forward with the matter, Petersenlaw realized that Xu Teng's Huateng company was likely to have some kind of political task attached to it, pushing the United States to lift the high-tech blockade of China.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Xu Teng was very calm, he was mixed up in this role, what could a White House chief of staff do to him? Not to mention that Senator Obama was of mixed black race, and the chief of staff could still choose a mixed Japanese race?

It's just.

This is completely inconsistent with the rules of the operation of American elite society, so the chief of staff of President Obama must be a Wall Street person.

"Of course it's true...... Before you answer this question, I would like to make it clear that I have a lot of respect for you, especially for your full commitment to democratic freedoms and scientific and technological progress, and that, as Senator Obama said, you have always done the right thing and have always been able to achieve great things at the expense of your own interests. You are a philanthropist whom I respect very much, in the United States, you are one of the very few widely welcomed Chinese entrepreneurs, you are like the only nobleman born on the barren soil of China, you have many outstanding achievements, I have your books on my bookshelf, about your worries about cosmic civilization and human civilization, I deeply agree with and admire ......!" Petersenlaw said a lot of vain praise, just to ease the atmosphere, and, I hope Xu Teng will tell the truth and give him a true answer.

"The truth is that I don't want a conflict between China and the United States that will eventually lead to World War III, and you may not trust my judgment very much, but I do have this concern. I think that in the next 10 years, or 30 years, it will be difficult for China and the United States to maintain political harmony and friendship, and I hope that at least economically, we can continue to maintain the current good trend, which will be beneficial to the people of both countries...... As a capitalist, my responsibility is to create new products and jobs, and to generate new consumption, so I want politicians to do their jobs well and not embarrass us who work hard. Xu Teng was very frank and invited Petersenlaw to sit down and drink a glass of champagne to celebrate the success of the Obama Senator election, after all, Senator Obama has not yet taken office, so there is no need to be so nervous.

"I'm sorry to bother you so late, but during this afternoon's meeting, your country's thinkers and economists have been repeatedly emphasizing the importance of the United States lifting the high-tech blockade, and you know, I know, it's unrealistic. Perhaps, we can make some small concessions in some links, but it will never be possible to completely lift the ban. What Petersenlaw meant was actually telling Xu Teng that if Xu Teng wanted to lift the ban on China's high-tech blockade policy by funding Senator Obama, then he would never be able to do it.

"Don't worry, my friend, it's not a problem for you and me, at least not mine. I have investments in high-tech industries in both China and the United States, as well as in Europe, and you can investigate these companies, and there has never been any illegal attempts and commercial actions to transfer technology, capitalists have no borders, and I invest in the United States to get a rate of return, not to transfer technology to China. ”

Xu Teng smiled a little disdainfully, as if he was laughing at Petersenlaw for underestimating him and spending the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain.

"Let me tell you a famous saying, a few decades ago, we had a great leader who unified China and overthrew tyranny, and of course, we still have a lot of controversy about this leader. He once said a very important sentence, blockade, blockade for decades, China has everything. The truth is that he is right, we have everything, although the technology is a little worse, but we at least have the foundation, we have a complete scientific research system. I have invested in research in intelligence and big data technology in China, and I have made similar investments in the United States, and now, I can tell you that because of factors such as the salaries and land prices of scientific researchers, my return on investment in China is significantly higher than the return on investment in the United States, and for every $100 million I invest in China, the number and quality of patents generated are about twice that of the $100 million invested in the United States. ”

"That's what you don't know, why, I'm going to steal technology from the United States, you can tell the public, the Chinese are doing this, but you, as the next White House chief of staff, have to understand the truth." The truth is that there are more than 30 million scientific researchers in China, which are cheap and efficient, and there are more than 600,000 PhDs and more than 2 million master's degrees waiting for employment every year. That's why I'm investing ten times as much in China as I am in the United States. ”

"My company, the name is Huateng Company, in essence, you must know that my real identity is the intellectual of Huayin Consortium, and Huateng Company is only 1/3 of this consortium. Our entire consortium spent $7 billion in research in China last year, $11 billion this year, and even in the midst of the financial crisis, it is expected to increase by 15% next year. ”

"Let me tell you what exactly I want to do. Xu Teng opened his tablet, opened a software, opened a database, and there were some of his work plans, "You see, we are working on space migration technology, and this project will invest $2 billion in the next 20 years." So, that's my goal, I'm going to get humans to immigrate to the universe and fly out of the cradle of the earth. So, don't guess that I'm going to do something low-level and boring, because I need a technology that usually doesn't have much foundation in both China and the United States. In my field of vision, in my career, I don't really care who the U.S. senator is, my goals are far away, and I don't have time to do those boring little things. ”

"As I've always said, I'm just a sci-fi guy who happens to be very rich. Xu Teng is very good at making friends with others, he touched a glass with Petersenlaw, signaling that the other party is really at ease, and drink a drink at will.

For a capitalist of Xu Teng's level, he really doesn't care about the US technological blockade of China, because he has 10,000 strategies to bypass the blockade, and he can use legal means to advance everything, and he will not give the FBI the slightest handle.

"Wow. Peesenlaw breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he was indeed a little overly concerned, although capitalists donating to politicians must have their goals, but at least one thing is clear, Xu Teng will not use his influence to persuade Senator Obama to take the risk of pushing for the lifting of the technology blockade against China after becoming president.

Xu Teng was very calm, in this small living room by the window, looking at the Golden Gate Bridge in the dark night, drinking quietly, enjoying the tranquility of time, and enjoying the fruits of victory.

He doesn't intend to use his relationship with Senator Obama, all he needs is to turn a blind eye to the Democratic-controlled Foreign Investment Review Board (FIRC) after Senator Obama becomes president.

He wants to take control of AMD, and then promote the joint venture between AMD and Huateng Electronics Group, and compete with Intel for the chip market, and the enemy of the enemy is a friend, which is why he funded AMD.

He must weaken Intel, disrupt Intel, and let Intel focus on the traditional chip business, which will give Huateng Electronics a lot of time and opportunities to compete for the market for embedded chips and memory chips, and compete for the mobile market.

He will not start with the technology he really wants, it is too dangerous, and it is easy for his huge investment to be turned upside down.

The choice of Xu Teng, Xu Jia, and Huayin Consortium has never changed, and they have been staring at Europe. (To be continued.) )
