The meeting between Xu Teng and Senator Obama was very pleasant, and the two sides were mainly talking about the US economy and Asian American issues, and the pleasant conversation did not mean that Xu Teng appreciated the senator, in fact, Xu Teng has always had a feeling of disgust for the Democratic Party's policy of restricting the proportion of Asian-Americans, especially Chinese-Americans, in higher education. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

What is the difference between this and the new era of the Chinese Exclusion Agreement?

To put it bluntly, the Democratic Party wants the votes of blacks and Latinos, and for the sake of votes, they don't care about the proportion of Asians, let alone Chinese.

If nothing happens, the policy of rebalancing to the Asia-Pacific region will certainly continue to emerge, and the confrontation between China and the United States will inevitably intensify.

The best thing for Xu Teng is simple, SVB Silicon Silver is one of the main supporters of Senator Obama, and there is no obstacle to predicting that SVB Silicon Silver will take control of AMD Group's business plan.

Until then, SVB Silicon Silver had been a professional Silicon Valley investment bank, and this time it tried to take control of AMD Group, which was not really much related to investment interests.

Investing in AMD Group is not inherently rewarding, but as SVB Silicon Silver claims, it is only trying to stop Intel's monopoly and ensure the competitive vitality of the market.

This is just talk.

The real reason is that the Xu family and SVB Silicon Silver have an internal agreement that cannot be made public, and the Xu family will provide long-term financing loans to SVB Silicon Silver Company, and SVB Silicon Silver Company will abide by the terms of the agreement and assist in controlling AMD Group.

Eventually, the Xu family's family trust will join hands with SVB Silicon Silver Company to achieve a de facto controlling stake in AMD Group, with each party's shareholding reaching the standard of 1/3.

Xu Teng feels that this Obama senator is indeed a very good person, but this does not change his dislike for the US Democratic Party, and he does not understand Chris.

Truth be told, he feels like he and these people in the Democratic Party are two worlds.

The voters and supporters of the Democratic Party are actually very fixed now: 1) Wall Street, 2 ethnic minorities (except Asians), 3) Native ******, 4) illegal immigrants, 5) ordinary heterosexuals who think LGBT people, 6) white leftists, especially the elites of American society, especially the media.

Republican voters and supporters are simple, military-industrial complex, oil and energy industry, lower-middle-class Caucasians of European descent, Christian groups.

Is such an American society not divided?

Xu Teng didn't know if he was influenced by Miss Holmes, and his views on the Democratic Party were becoming more and more negative, or if they were already negative.

Objectively speaking, during President Obama's eight-year term, American society will be completely divided into two types of people, and the confrontation between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party will become stronger and stronger, and there will be no moderate Democratic Party or moderate Republican Party in the future.

The Democratic Party is very dead pinned down by the White Left and Wall Street, the Republican Party is very pinned down by the extreme right-wing conservative Tea Party, and the White Left and the Tea Party are natural mortal enemies.

In short, the divisive trend in American society is white upper elite + minority vs white lower middle class.

Senator Obama is a very talkative person, and at this time he has already shown the temperament of a leader, and he is very pragmatic - this is the biggest impression he gives Xu Teng, not simply to promote social change, in fact, he also understands the difficulty of such change.

This is a very smart man, and it is difficult to be sure what he really wants.

Xu Teng is just a simple entrepreneur, an investor, he is an important partner of SVB Silicon Silver, and the shareholders of SVB Silicon Silver Company are the most important donors of Obama Senator.

This is the connection between Xu Teng and Senator Obama.

He tried to talk only about economic issues, focusing only on business, and was willing to provide some strength within his power to help the US economy recover as soon as possible.

After lunch.

Xu Teng was not in a hurry to leave the Hyatt Hotel, but opened another suite here, thinking quietly alone.

"If we win the election, can I send some message to the Chinese leaders through your channels? As I said, I really think China is a very important country, and if we want to improve the world, of course we need China's cooperation and reform. Senator Obama suddenly sent an email to Xu Teng's private mailbox.

"Of course, I'm happy to play for you, but I've always been used to keeping a safe distance from politics. My economics supervisor at the university is an advisor to the Central Financial and Economic Affairs Commission, and I would be happy to introduce him to you, who has a high reputation in the domestic economics community. Xu declined the request to help Senator Obama convey the message, and recommended a more suitable candidate.

"That's certainly very good, thank you, as I said, the U.S. is the freest market in the world, and we're proud of that, and, I know, you have a lot of investments in the U.S., and as long as they're legitimate, I'm sure they're the best protected." I think the government should be more active in promoting the negotiation of the China-US investment treaty, you are not an American, you don't have that sacred vote, but we all know that you represent China's Wall Street, and you have a very valuable global influence, so I hope we can maintain a good friendship. ”

"That's for sure, and I want to sincerely wish you success in your campaign, for all Americans, and for leading the world, which is the most important job in human history. My job obviously can't be compared to yours, but I'm equally responsible for protecting the jobs and salaries of millions of people, at least hundreds of thousands of Americans, so I hope you understand my concerns. Xu Teng's concern is that the rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region will lead to confrontation between China and the United States, especially the deterioration of the economic and political environment around China.

It's a terrible thing and it's bound to happen.

Xu Teng's first hope was that this confrontation would not endanger his business, and the second was that he hoped that this confrontation would be as mild and low-key as possible.

Perhaps, of course...... Appropriate confrontation is conducive to China's development.

Who knows?

In the following ten days, Xu Teng and the Obama senator exchanged dozens of emails in a row, mainly talking about Obama health care and the U.S. economy, but also about the Middle East, world peace, Wall Street privileges, and so on...... Relatively speaking, these are not topics that Xu Teng likes.

The two even analyzed the problem of ****** teaching.

Xu Teng is actually not sure whether this Obama senator is a ****** believer, so the analysis is very objective and there is no blasphemy, but he still believes that religion has become a stubborn disease in the human world in the 21st century in resisting human progress.

"We may never be able to solve this problem, which is like arthritis in humans, and we can't cure it, and the only way to do that is probably to avoid getting worse as much as possible. We can't even understand them, and they can't understand us. ”

These are Xu Teng's original words in the email.

Senator Obama's reply...... If it is a real inner expression, Xu Teng estimates that the senator is an atheist, not a devout Christian believer, nor a ****** believer, even if the other party likes to use the word "god" very frequently in his speech.

So, this is really a very pragmatic person.

This morning, with only two days to go before the vote for the U.S. election, international public opinion and all U.S. polls showed that Senator Obama had a huge lead.

Xu Teng was busy until 3 a.m. last night, not at FK Miss Elizabeth Holmes, of course, but at the negotiation of the acquisition of Ascension Group went very well.

The financial crisis hit Ascension as hard as a bank, with low profits and debt, which left the Ascension board of directors without much bargaining chips.

Unfortunately, Xu Teng's Huateng Company is the only buyer, and the Huayin Consortium is the only company on the entire planet willing to invest in the U.S. medical industry at this time.

At such a moment, Xu Teng suddenly received an email from Senator Obama, which was written about some trivial things.

This seems to be quite normal.

During this time, Xu Teng and Senator Obama have become very good pen pals, and the two sides have shared a lot of life information, probably because the pressure on the other party is too great, and they need a spiritual catharsis, which has nothing to do with the entire election, and is very knowledgeable, and Xu Teng, who has unconventional life experience, seems to have become the only choice for the other party.

Xu Teng actually shared some trivial boredom in the negotiation with Senator Obama, and the two teased each other's lives, which seemed to be tall, but in fact they were tedious and boring.

Senator Obama said one thing, and that is the Republican Party's invisible voters, because of the media's criticism of right-wing voters, usually in the polls, many Republican voters will hide their voting intentions, and will not give that sacred and obscene vote until the vote.

Senator Obama did use the word "obscene", obviously really complaining and worried, but he couldn't talk about it with others, he couldn't talk to his wife, he couldn't talk to the campaign team, and he had to encourage the team to be brave enough to win.

Everyone has pressure, and no one can handle all the pressure.

Xu Teng is the same as Senator Obama.

Until this moment, Xu Teng didn't fall asleep at all, he was still negotiating until 3 o'clock in the morning, and he had just been lying on the sofa for two hours, so he hurriedly got up and continued to look through the negotiation records to make sure that he didn't miss any details.

Therefore, Xu Teng and Senator Obama shared a very interesting little thing, this matter is the inside story of the Boan department, a very ugly thing, he wants to end this matter and reinvent a company, and the resistance he encounters is unprecedented.

"My experience has taught me that everyone is selfish when it comes to self-interest, and if we are sure that we want to do something right, something that is absolutely noble, if not great, we must learn to be patient, to gather strength, and to ride the fastest horse through at a critical moment. When the darkness is always darker before the dawn comes, my conscience tells me that you are the beacon of the darkness, and you are to ignore the darkness and, burn yourself, and illuminate the darkness. ”

"I have a mystical belief that I have never told you, and I have never told anyone, and perhaps it has something to do with my experience as a science fiction writer. This universe has existed for billions of years, and there are always a few planets born of higher life, reaching a kind of superlord civilization realm, they are silently dedicated, supervising the civilization on every lower planet, you can imagine, we are just a small sapling in the nursery garden, and they are just gardeners. The Superlord never emerges, never gives more gifts, that would ruin the young civilization, but at a certain time, when the crisis comes, the Superlord will choose a person and give them some special courage and knowledge. ”

"Sometimes, I believe that I am the one who has chosen the superlord, and my job is to create a better enterprise that ensures that humanity can go far. I have a lot of money, but for me, my work is just beginning. Perhaps, you are also the one chosen by the superlord. Perhaps, the superlord does not exist, or perhaps, the superlord does not care whether we exist or not. I don't have an answer, I just choose to believe in the universe, in the power of civilization, in the fact that I can offer humanity more options, and that I believe that you can do more than I can. ”

"So, if the Superlord gives you the mission and the ability to lead humanity, you will surely win this election, and you must do what you want to do. In China, we call the United States the world's policeman, and that's a pretty good assessment. Soon, you will become the new Sheriff of the World, and I believe that you will be able to contribute a very bright force to the world, just like an angel. ”

"So, my friend, believe in yourself, believe in your people, believe that this world is always good, believe that humanity is still saved, and it is worth saving. When we have come to this point on the road of life, it is necessary for us to take responsibility for the fate of mankind. ”

Xu Teng wrote a long email, hesitated for a few minutes, drank a small half cup of dry white, and then sent the email to Senator Obama.

He was busy all day.

It wasn't until the evening that he had a dinner with Mr. Anthony Tersiney, Chairman of the Ascension Group, and finally finalized the price of the acquisition after the two of them negotiated separately.

What makes the Ascension group special is that among the investors of this medical group is the Catholic Mission, which in simple terms is part of the assets invested by the Holy See, and now, the Holy See is willing to give up the assets.

No one took over, except Xu Teng.

As a commitment to take over, Xu Teng promised that he would not interfere in the operation of the Ascension Group, would not transform the Ascension Group into a second HCA, and would only make money, regardless of the life or death of the people.

In addition to the $3 billion acquisition price and a 42% stake in the new Boan Ascension Group, Xu Teng's final offer also agreed to the establishment of non-profit outpatient clinics in all of Ascension Group's hospitals in the United States, and agreed to donate a portion of the profits of Ascension Group's hospitals to non-profit outpatient institutions.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the sake of improving the reputation and image of Boan Group in the medical industry, Xu Teng really didn't want to invest in this money-losing goods, of course, he wouldn't lose money, but he wouldn't make much money.

At most, it's about keeping its value and earning some international fame at the same time.

In the evening, Xu Teng finally ended the negotiations, returned to his hotel room, opened the mailbox with his tablet, and read Senator Obama's reply.

Unexpectedly, the senator was very appreciative of Xu Teng's supermaster theory.

"If there is a religion in this world that I can completely convince, I really think that supernatural theory may be the only answer, then perhaps it is why, in the history of mankind, there will always be some beings far beyond ordinary people, such as Albert Einstein, for example, Confucius. During this time, I took your advice and read the English version of the Analects in its entirety, which may not have fully expressed Confucius's thoughts, as you said, but still struck me. If we think about it again, this is a philosophical idea that was born 2,000 years ago, and it really is such an incomprehensible height. We cannot emphasize that these ideas can still guide our behavior today, but some of them, perhaps the essence of Confucius's thought, still have eternal value. ”

"Perhaps, we can make more people believe in and understand the superlord spirit?"

Wow?

Does this Obama senator want to create a super-master committee, or does he want to create a new Freemason?

"No!" Xu Teng refused at the first time, "This is my belief, my personal belief, and it supports me to do something great and noble." And, I believe, the Superlord doesn't need anything in return, for example, loyalty, it doesn't, in its eyes, we are like a swarm of ants, do you really believe that it needs us?"

"So, when we talk about the Supermaster, it's like we talk about God, we don't care if it really exists, maybe it's our conscience. ”

"I just believe that there is a protective force in this universe, a force that represents the highest state of life, not some mysterious force, not a god, but the pinnacle of civilization. The only force that can destroy this civilization is the destruction of the universe itself. We are human beings, and fortunately we are human beings, and we have in control of forces that we should not control, so, we must have a spiritual belief that supports us to act with our own conscience at all times. ”

"You can believe in God, and I choose to believe in cosmic civilization. ”

"I think you're right, we can't talk about these things with anyone else, because it's still naïve, but sometimes, I think, we should be as innocent as children. "Senator Obama also apparently understands that this is not a suitable topic to talk about publicly, and it is naïve.

"You know, I'm not telling you my weird beliefs, I'm not trying to make you laugh, I'm not trying to persuade you to believe in my weird ideas, it's a joke between us. Xu Teng regretted sending the email in the morning, and wanted to let this matter pass quickly.

"No, no, I will never laugh at my friend's faith unless you believe in that ...... Noodle god, of course, even if you worship that kind of god, I won't laugh at you. Some people attacked me for being a ******, and that's ridiculous, but in fact, I actually went to the mosque, and that was when I was very young. My experience has taught me that religion is just one of our options. When I was teaching at the University of Chicago, an Asian friend of mine, she told me that there was a god in China who blessed people to have children, and she went back to China to worship the god and showed me an amulet or something. ”

"Okay, there's a very typical misconception. Americans think that we have no faith, in fact, the Chinese tradition is a typical polytheistic system, we believe that there are many gods in the world, they are coexisting with each other, each in charge of their own affairs, for example, God is in charge of you Americans, and the Jade Emperor is in charge of us Chinese. We also don't discriminate against other people's beliefs. I personally don't think that the atheist education promoted by the government is bad, on the contrary, it helps society to produce more elites, more people who can think for themselves. Sometimes, I think that education in China is about making everyone an elite member of society, so the pressure is really high. There is an old saying in Chinese called Wangzi Jackie Chan, and for the government, it is to hope that every citizen will become the elite of society. ”

"Oh, that's a very great government ideal, and I love that. As I said, every country has to have some socialist way, and the government should take on more social responsibilities, which is why I always criticize the Republicans, the market doesn't always give us the best choice, that's why, we need the government. ”

"Do you understand that I'm not your voter? I'm really worried that if you're trying to convince Miss Holmes to reduce funding for the Republican Party, then I have to say that if the Democrats don't veto affirmative action, I'll always be on the Republican side. While I'm not your voter and can't make political contributions, I'll always tell my friends that the worst thing about the Democratic Party is that it's unfair to Chinese Americans and hard-working people. ”

"We can talk about it, I've heard you talk about it for the first time, so, that's why you've always preferred Miss Holmes, even though she's been supporting Senator McCain. I really respect Miss Holmes and McCain, and at the same time, the affirmative action emphasized by the Democratic Party may indeed be unfriendly to Chinese Americans, but this society is like this, and we need to give more care to some vulnerable people. ”

"Are you really trying to convince me to support the Democratic Party?" Mr. Xu replied with a short email, just one sentence.

"No, it's too late, and in the meantime, I want to thank you for giving me a tablet, it's very tech-savvy, it's very sweet, it allows me to email you from my bed, maybe we should sign up for an MSN, maybe we text each other directly from our phones. As I said, it's too late, have a good night...... Can I entrust you with something for me?"

"No problem. ”

"Please let Miss Holmes vote for me, I believe, it is absolutely sacred and not obscene. Senator Obama has a great sense of humor, and he has been privately teasing Republican voters about how Republican voters would secretly vote for Republican politicians.

"Trust me, she'll vote for you. ”

"You don't think it's a strange thing, I mean, I've never met a Republican as enthusiastic as her. Senator Obama was obviously not sleepy, obviously saying good night to Xu Teng, and was still talking about another thing.

His skepticism is not sensitive, Miss Holmes is not a simple Republican, but a professional congressional lobbyist, and her relationship with Xu Teng is by no means as simple as an ordinary friend.

"Don't make a fuss, I've never met a Democrat as enthusiastic as Chris. Xu Teng avoided talking about it.

"I know you're not married, why?" Senator Obama is a little too lenient, but he and Xu Teng are very special friends, both special friends, as a responsible U.S. senator, a presidential candidate who is about to win or lose the election, he needs to figure out whether such an important friend has some special problems.

"My problem of men and women is complicated, for a long time, I was oscillating between two women, not knowing how to choose, and when one of them voluntarily quit, my girlfriend and I, who grew up together, decided that we didn't need to tie each other up in the way of marriage. I know you're asking, Miss Holmes' relationship with me, it's simpler, we're fine, but not to the point of being lovers. I have my job and she has her interests. Xu Teng replied very clearly, he and Miss Holmes were indeed a little ambiguous, but Miss Holmes was by no means his agent, and there was no need.

Whether this is a kind of deception or not, Xu Teng can't tell.

"That's why, I decided to get married early, men who don't have a wife, will always have this kind of problem, of course, there are always many men who envy your life, especially those compatriots who are forced to propose. ”

"I know you must be suffering today, but it's really late, and, like you, I've been so busy these two days that I don't have time to sleep, so, I must sleep now, tomorrow, I'm going to sign a merger and acquisition case worth tens of billions of dollars, which is definitely beneficial to your medical insurance, I wish me success, I wish me some small contributions to the medical cause of China and the United States." Xu Teng is really going to sleep, he said to be honest, he doesn't know how long his special friendship with Senator Obama will last, so it's better to keep it simple.

It's good for him, and it's good for Senator Obama.

"That's why I love talking to you, it's always so easy for you to do great things that you want to do, and it's so much harder for me. Before I wish you a good dream, you'd better tell me a secret. I know you must be annoyed and angry that you can't go to bed early, so, tell me, as long as you say it, the next president of the United States will not disturb your rest. ”

"You win, well, I'll tell you the secret, give a little more money, sacrifice a little more personal interests, so that everybody gets something, everybody gets the most important thing. For example, if the Ascension Group asks for a non-profit medical outpatient organization after the merger and supports the operation of this organization with the profits of the for-profit division, did you know that this means that I will lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year? I agreed, I swear, no American capitalist would agree, I am a fool, because I believe that the Superlord gave me everything in order for me to improve humanity, and I now have an opportunity to improve the management capacity of China's private medical institutions, as well as the image of enterprises, without losing money, and provide more competition in the market. ”

"Perhaps, I'm not stupid, I'm just thinking more long-term, and I'm willing to spend 30 years measuring the rate of return. But I really believe that I can change a lot of things, and that's the change I'm going to promote. This is an example of what I agree with, which is very important to the Ascension Group, and my sacrifice is only money. ”

"How do you convince your colleagues to move this deal forward with you?" Senator Obama has a new question.

"That's a good question, that's the center of the matter, and most of the time, I've always been able to make decisions that are best for everyone, or to put it simply, I can take care of everyone's important needs. Compromise, in order to achieve something that is really worth fighting for, you have to compromise on some small issues, and you have to pay attention to your allies, really pay attention to them, and provide them with your services. ”

"That's the real answer, ok, buddy, good night!" Senator Obama finally got the answer he wanted, and it was similar to his guess, the chairman of the Huayin Consortium was a very good leader.

“goodluck!” Xu Teng wished the other party victory in the general election in a few days. (To be continued.) )
