Chapter 437: The President Receives You
Trep is a businessman. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Businessmen think about problems and are always accustomed to thinking with business.
If you can make money, this thing will be reliable, and if you lose money, then this kind of thing will have to be thrown aside.
Regarding the war situation between the Jin Empire and the Fuso State, the congressional guys always lobbied Trep as a rare opportunity for Citi to make a fortune.
Initially, Trep thought so.
However, as the intelligence community gathered more and more information, Trep gradually changed his mind. The Jin Empire is not a soft persimmon, and the idea that the guys in the Congress only need to sell enough weapons to Fusang to beat the Jin Empire seems to be a little biased.
After that, Fuso also showed an attitude that it was bound to drag Citigroup into the quagmire of war.
This was even more disgusting to Trepp.
Undoubtedly, it is not impossible for Citigroup to directly participate in the war, and the report provided by the Ministry of Defense says that Citigroup has deployed enough anti-missile weapons in the entire field, and those things of the Jin Empire will definitely not fall on the mainland. Another report by the Ministry of Defense compared the combat strength of the two sides, saying that the war is likely to fall into a stalemate if Fuso fights alone, while if Citigroup enters the war, the war is sure to end within two months.
It's not that Trepp doesn't believe the report submitted by the Ministry of Defense, and the main reason why he is contradictory is that he feels that the war is worth the losses in terms of weighing the pros and cons.
The benefits of war for Citigroup are clear. Now that the war has not yet begun, the domestic arms dealers have already made a lot of money, and the state tax revenue has increased by a little more than one percentage point. If the war does start, then these figures will only skyrocket, and the country's economy will definitely be boosted.
However, the drawbacks are just as obvious.
Especially for him personally. The four-year presidential throne is about to expire, and Trepp is actively preparing for re-election, and if a war breaks out at this juncture, in case the casualties on the front line are large and arouse the anti-war sentiment of the domestic people, then it is really difficult to say who will be more expensive for the next four-year presidential throne.
If it is a soldier who can surrender without a fight......
Trep pondered this idea every day, but after thinking about it, he felt that all kinds of methods were a little lacking, and he was not very sure.
In this mood, Trep received a call from the Department of Defense.
The person in charge of the Ministry of National Defense was a urine with Liszt, even more excessively than Liszt, and in order to describe it more objectively, they didn't even bother to speak, and directly played a recording of Liszt's phone call just now to Mr. President.
It doesn't matter who Zhu Xiaojun is!
It doesn't matter what the monarch of the Jin Empire wants to rely on this war to achieve!
For Trepp, the only thing that matters is Liszt's last words in the debriefing, "Zhu said that he had a mature plan to stop the war with dignity." ”
The allure of this sentence was too great for Trepp.
Just when the whole country, whether anti-war or militant, thought that Citigroup had to be drawn into the war, he, Mr. Trepp, the current president of Citigroup, turned the tide and forced the Jin Empire to abandon the war while saving Citigroup's face.
Such feats...... That's like no one before or since!
Will there still be problems with re-election?
See! I must see this guy named Zhu Xiaojun, even if he is a big liar, he will only run around with his mouth full of trains, he Trep must see it, otherwise, he will always feel sorry for his stupid heart.
The Ministry of National Defense immediately conveyed Mr. President's order to Liszt, asking Liszt to take Zhu Xiaojun and immediately rush to Mr. President's residence.
When Liszt heard this, he immediately burst into laughter.
If Zhu Xiaojun behaves badly in front of Mr. President, he Liszt does not have much responsibility, after all, he just reported to the top in accordance with the process. But if Zhu Xiaojun is appreciated by Mr. President, then this credit ......
The credit of course goes to Mr. President, he is not demanding, it is enough for Mr. President to remember his goodness.
put down the phone, Liszt even forgot Powell on the side, and immediately went to greet Zhu Xiaojun. But Powell is also a good person, and he has already guessed the result from Liszt's look and reply when he answers the phone.
"Ryan, you go and take Zhu, I'll go down and get the car ready first!" Powell made up his mind to get a slice of the pie with Liszt.
Liszt was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, and then went in the direction of Powell's office.
Five minutes later, Liszt and Zhu Xiaojun sat in Powell's car and drove away towards the presidential residence.
It went so smoothly that Zhu Xiaojun's little heart was inevitably fluttering with excitement, but on the surface, he pretended to be very calm, as if all this was expected for him, and even a little indifferent.
But Zhu Xiaojun's pretending kung fu is really to the point of perfection, and even old fritters like Liszt have been deceived.
"Well, this may be the unique introverted character of Orientals!" Liszt gave such an answer in his heart.
The address of the General Staff Headquarters was not far from the presidential palace, and after driving for about 20 minutes, the car could already see the iconic dome of the presidential palace and the flag of the Citi country on the roof.
Trepp showed great enthusiasm and respect for Zhu Xiaojun, and actually appointed his personal assistant to wait at the door of the mansion.
Guided by the personal assistant, Lister Powell and Zhu Xiaojun shuttled through the labyrinthine corridors and finally met Trepp who was guarding the study.
The blonde-haired Trepp looked much younger than his real age, and if it weren't for Liszt's brief introduction to Mr. President on the way, Zhu Xiaojun would have thought that he would be in his forties at most.
"Zhu, it's good to see you!" Trepp didn't wait for Liszt or Powell to make an introduction, and directly stretched out his right hand to Zhu Xiaojun.
Holding Zhu Xiaojun's hand, Trepp thought of Liszt and Powell: "Bill, it's hard for you to find a place for these two to drink, I want to have a good chat with Mr. Zhu, well, at least arrange half an hour for me." ”
Liszt and Powell could only smile silently and bitterly in their hearts, and after working for a long time, they fell into the president's words, although they were unwilling, but they were also helpless, so they could only obediently follow the personal assistant.
"Zhu, come and sit here, we only have half an hour." Trepp let Zhu Xiaojun onto the sofa on the side of the study: "Okay, let's get straight to the point, to be honest, I'm already a little impatient to wait." (To be continued.) )
