The economic base determines the superstructure, and this general law is applicable most of the time, so as the owner of Fan's Investment Group, who occupies a very important position in the world's financial circle, Fan Wuxi, can also be said to be a pivotal political figure.
Although he does not hold any position in the government, no one can ignore the role he can play in the political circles of various countries, such as in Indonesia, he has reached the point of turning his hands into clouds, although it cannot be said that he has controlled the economic lifeline of the other side, but in some areas, it has indeed done this, especially the $50 billion economic aid program, which has forced the Habibie government to rely on the Van investment group in many aspects.
In the past, there was no shortage of powerful economic figures who ran between countries and threaded the needle and made many great things, but this time the high-level entrusted Fan Wuzhi to go to the United States, in fact, it was also to lay the groundwork for the two countries to properly resolve the embassy bombing.
"Of course I can meet Clinton, but what do I do when I meet him?" Fan Wuxian still had doubts about the task he had undertaken.
The current situation is extremely tense, and it can be said that there is tension between the two countries, and the entire strategic reserve force has moved, although it seems that it should be a feint now, but if a little special situation occurs, it cannot be ruled out that there will be a misfire.
And the U.S. isn't the only one. Hawks have long been very worried about China's rise, and some of the senior generals in the military hope to attack China through some means to weaken the influence of China and Russia in the international community, and then make the United States' sphere of influence spread all over the world again, and reverse the current inferior position of the United States in the Pacific Rim island chain.
So the Clinton administration was in the treatment of the bombing make. There are also great differences on the issue of the embassy, and it is also very practical for Fan Wuxian to raise this issue, after all, he is only a transitional secret envoy, not a real ambassador plenipotentiary.
"You don't have to worry too much about this, after all, from the perspective of public opinion, we are on the favorable side." Chief No. 1 comforted Fan Wuxian, "According to the analysis of the information we have now, Clinton has also been put in a position, and he is now anxious to get in touch with the top level of the government in our country in order to reach an understanding and then quickly resolve the matter, so as to prevent the growing anti-war sentiment among the people in the United States and affect the foundation of his administration, which is beneficial to us." ”
Boss Zhu added next to him, "In fact, now the Clinton administration. We are anxious to get official contact with us, but for various reasons, we have decided to dry him out, so you can use the excuse of discussing the recent anti-piracy issue with Microsoft's Bill Gates, and have secret contact with Clinton to determine where the bottom line of a compromise is. ”
After Fan Wuxi heard this explanation, he knew it in his heart.
After everyone explained, Dad Fan Heng asked, "When are you ready. Waiting to go? ”
After thinking for a while, Fan Wuxian replied, "Let the people below follow first. Bill Gates will touch it and then set the time. ”
Although let Fan disease-free. The matter of going to the United States to find out the bottom was negotiated, but other matters were also very troublesome, so the Standing Committee held another two-hour emergency meeting, and finally took all aspects of things into account, and then arranged a series of arrangements, such as guiding the direction of public opinion and mobilizing strategic reserve forces, stepping up the reserve of strategic petroleum resources, controlling the production of important military resources, and suspending the export of some important strategic materials, and so on.
All in all, this is also a great test of the actual military from peacetime to wartime, and if it is said that in the event of an emergency, the armed forces and related military industrial production and the mobilization of important civilian resources cannot smoothly enter a state of emergency, it shows that the entire national defense system needs to be seriously sorted out.
After everyone talked about things, they felt a little tired, but in the face of such a big challenge, they still couldn't slack off a little, and they all looked like they were waiting for it.
Seeing this, Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "Actually, it's not a big deal, all the chips are in our hands, and the biggest problem now is nothing more than to appease the people's emotions and negotiate compensation. ”
"Despite this, it is still necessary to take this opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of the troops." One of the Standing Committee members nodded in reply.
"I'll tell you a joke!" Seeing the tense atmosphere in the room, Fan Wuxian said with a smile, "It is said that God is dissatisfied with the ugliness of the world and has decided to destroy the earth. Before the official implementation, Yeltsin, Clinton, and Bill Gates were summoned to inform them of the matter. Yeltsin spoke in the State Duma after returning to Russia, comrades, now there is bad news and an even worse news. The bad news is: our original atheism is wrong and that God does exist; The worse news is that in three days the Earth will be completely destroyed. And when Clinton returned to the United States, he made a televised speech, ladies and gentlemen, now there is good news and bad news. The good news is that there is, and there is only one God; The bad news is that in three days the Earth will be completely destroyed. Gates is back at Microsoft headquarters for an emergency board meeting, gentlemen, and now there is two pieces of good news. The good news is that I am one of the three most important people God has identified; The even better news is that in three days IBM will be completely destroyed and stop selling! ”
After listening to Fan Wuxi's joke, several members of the Standing Committee immediately laughed, and the No. 1 leader also smiled and said, "Well, everyone has their own positions, different positions, different interests involved, different angles of looking at problems, and different perceptions, this joke is still very interesting." ”
After Fan Heng and Fan Wuxi's father and son returned home, Fan Wuxian reacted to why the high-level officials had to negotiate with Bill Gates under their own pretext, and then secretly contacted Clinton, so in the impression of the media, the two Bills have always been unable to pee in the same pot.
The two Bills, one known as the most powerful man in the world and the other as the richest man in the world, US President Bill Clinton and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates have influenced the world in very different ways. However, both of these world-class figures now face serious challenges, and they both have been put on trial by law.
Clinton was indicted by the House of Representatives for a sex scandal, and Gates was under antitrust investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice for his business practices. What they did has attracted great attention from all over the world.
Bill Clinton's political achievements and charming demeanor have reached more than 60 percent even in the embarrassing moment of the congressional impeachment inquiry. Relative to Bill. Clinton, Bill. Gates, on the other hand, was a bit clumsy, a wealthy computer business genius who always wore thick glasses, had short hair, and stumbled a little when he walked, and seemed to be nothing to be chic about a physics major with an eccentric temper.
In fact, the two Bills are not only superficially very different, but they are also not compatible.
A few years ago, Clinton and Gates played golf together. The sociable Clinton tried his best to get close to Gates as always, and used the fact that their mothers had just died, but he was disappointed by the cold reaction of Gates.
Clinton may have later learned that computers and technology were the only topics of interest to Gates. In subsequent presidential elections, Gates neither supported Republican candidate Dole nor helped Clinton, who soon ordered the U.S. Department of Justice to charge Gates with violating the antitrust law.
The differences between Clinton and Gates are evident in their upbringing. His mother, a nurse and a frequent alcoholic stepfather, set his sights on entering politics from an early age and took every opportunity to train himself. Like many successful politicians, Clinton had excellent eloquence and his sociability made him popular. When Clinton was in middle school, he played the beautiful saxophone and captivated many girls, and he was the kind of handsome guy who wanted to be motivated and versatile.
In contrast to Clinton, Gates was smart, imaginative, and daring to innovate, and when he was in middle school, Gates triumphantly boasted that he had a deep understanding of computers that no one else could, and that he would sooner or later become a millionaire for it. In fact, he is now one of the richest people in the world, and his wealth is growing.
For both Clinton and Gates, their path to success appears to be smooth. Some people say that in the United States now, there are only two people who can be called presidents, one is the president of the country, Clinton, and the other is Bill Gates, the president of the computer empire.
In their respective fields, both Clinton and Gates have a status that no one else can match. Clinton was elected twice and was the president of the United States at the turn of the century. Bill Gates, who controls nearly ninety percent of the world's personal computer market, is a giant in the computer industry, and their super advantage also puts them in another danger.
Clinton's sociable traits and charming demeanor helped him re-elected to the presidency, and perhaps because of this, he had an affair with Lewinsky, a former White House intern; And Gates's single-minded pursuit of a larger market has led him to unwittingly build a monopolistic conglomerate, violating the antitrust law, and is under investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, which is currently awaiting a court decision.
In this case, the impasse between the two bills also seems to be broken.
Fan Wuxian thought about it carefully, and if he contacted Clinton through Bill Gates, no one could have imagined that the ultimate goal of this matter was to solve the biggest crisis that China and the United States are currently facing.
For Gates, he went to meet Clinton through him, and the credit of this matchmaking can naturally make up for the filth between him and Clinton because of the antitrust case, and for Clinton, it is also very beneficial to be able to resolve the bad relationship with Gates and to save the current infamous image, not to mention that it also involves the huge influence of Fan Wuxian himself, and one more friend to help, The effect is very different.
Fan Wuxian never doubted that he would be rejected if he wanted to meet these two big people, as he also had a pivotal position in the political and economic sphere, he did have the qualifications to talk to anyone, and the other party would definitely not be despised because he was only a twenty-three-year-old young man.
One of the most critical points is that although he is not a politician, he has a father of the Politburo Standing Committee, which makes his identity very sensitive and important, and only this identity can make the other party believe that the decisions he makes can represent the requirements of the forces behind him.
After Fan Wuxian figured out so many questions for a while, he felt that his brain was much smarter, so he said to his father Fan Heng, who was arranging his work, "Sometimes think about it, none of these people who can enter the Standing Committee have an IQ lower than sixty!" ”
Fan Heng was drinking tea while reading the information there, and when he heard his son's words, he couldn't help but take a big sip for it, making the documents in front of him soup and water, and a lot of tea dregs on it, and couldn't help complaining, "Don't tell jokes in the future, especially don't joke about politicians, everyone is a person in the circle, and after listening to it, people feel that they are not serious enough." ”
"So what does it matter, it's just human." Zhang Mei, the mother who was watching TV next to her, said disapprerovingly, "Could it be that if you become a member of the Standing Committee, you are not my husband?" Or do you don't recognize these sons and daughters? ”
"What-" Fan Heng shook his head, but he didn't have a temper.
Although this visit to the United States is a low-key visit, there is still a lot of work to be prepared, especially when I can take the opportunity to inspect the operation of companies in the United States, especially the financial team led by Song Yuanping, how is the implementation of their own policies?
There is also a problem that several portals that let Fan Kang participate in them should also be listed before the Internet bubble bursts, so as to cash out in a timely manner, and wait until the middle of next year after the Nasdaq index plummets, there will be no good times, after all, now except for Huafeng.com, other portals have not really entered the era of profitability.
The money of the Americans is not made in vain, anyway, the Federal Reserve is just a money-printing machine, and there is no need to imagine too much for them.
There are no pop-ups
