Chapter 2184: Who's Splashing Dirty Water on Me?
Everybody knows, Phil. As the chairman of the Inquiry Committee on the Financial Crisis in the United States, every word he says will have an important impact on the country's economic direction. Angelides has repeatedly sworn to the media that he is just a speculation without any evidence. The identity of Angelides, would he say that he was not sure of anything?
Absolutely not, and absolutely impossible!
In that case, then the facts are already predestined, Phil. Ninety percent of Angelides' words are true, some people in the federal government disregard the happiness of the people and the stability of their lives, and insist on sitting back and watching Lehman Brothers, which is closely related to the lives of the ordinary people of the United States, fall like this, and even sacrifice countless American families for this!
The current ruling party is the Republican Party, and the opposition Democratic Party is naturally unlikely to give up this opportunity, especially on the occasion of the general election, the Democratic Party will naturally not let go of this God-given opportunity; for a time, the Democratic Party has set off a huge number of demonstrations and protests in various localities and in the National Assembly calling for a strict investigation of certain scum in the government, and the major enterprises and companies that support the Democratic Party have made televised speeches one after another, expressing "great disappointment and incomparably regrettable" with the Republic's approach.
By this time, the Republic had understood that the Lehman Brothers affair was no longer a simple case of corporate bankruptcy, but had been elevated to a question concerning the asset returns of hundreds of thousands of families in the United States, as well as countless large enterprises and famous figures, which meant to the Republican Party and the Democratic Party the question of the ownership of more than 5 million votes, and whoever could handle this matter well would have a great advantage in the next presidential election.
The matter of Lehman Brothers, at this point, has taken a completely different direction from the previous life.
Richard. Forde was in a good mood: although Zhang Lan's greedy guy was asking for a lot of money, there was no doubt that Lehman Brothers would have a good chance of surviving the economic crisis. For Lehman Brothers, this economic crisis is not the most celebrated thing, but the more important thing to celebrate is to take this opportunity. He finally found out who his allies were and who were his enemies.

"Which bastard made this decision?"
George W. Bush was furious, although he was about to step down, and from then on he would bid farewell to his political career, and it was impossible for him to appear in the political arena of the United States. Bush Jr. is still extremely angry, because this means that there has been a huge stain on his presidential career, and not only the family has become a despicable political family that is regarded as abusing power for personal gain and using public weapons for personal gain, which is extremely unfavorable to the Bush family, which still hopes to have a third president of the United States in his family. In this way, Mr. Bush Jr.'s outrage is understandable.
White House Chief of Staff Card looked regretful, "I'm sorry. Sir, so far we don't have any evidence...... There are already rumors that say. That principal leader of the Federal Reserve is ready to resign. ”
"What? That bastard is ready to resign? Bush Jr. was stunned for a moment, but his face suddenly changed: Things seemed to be a little bigger.
Yes, for Bush Jr., if that bastard resolutely does not resign, things will not be so tricky for himself, but if that bastard resigns at this sensitive moment, all the dirty water will be poured on himself, which is an outcome that Bush Jr., who has never hit Lehman Brothers with his mind, this kind of result is something he absolutely does not want to see. …,
"Yes sir," Card said in a tone and expression. Or = as respectful and polite as ever, "According to the information I got from my side, this gentleman seems to be under a lot of pressure, but there are certain forces behind him that make him afraid to say the actual situation, if he doesn't say it. The people behind him can still guarantee that he will live happily for the rest of his life. ”
The subtext of this statement is to tell George W. Bush that if that guy really takes all the responsibility and splashes all the responsibility and dirty water on himself and the Republican Party...... Well? Thinking of this, Bush Jr. was suddenly stunned: Splashing dirty water on himself and the Republican Party?
Throwing dirty water on yourself and the republic? If that is the case, is it possible that this is a play directed and staged by the damned Democrats themselves, with the aim of winning the next presidential race?
I almost made a very serious mistake!
This discovery made Bush Jr., who had long been accustomed to thinking about problems from the perspective of conspiracy, very annoyed, why was his reaction slow? Is it really because he is about to leave the White House and will no longer be a complete political animal in the future, and his sensitive political nerves have become dull and slow to react?
"Hmm...... How are the Democrats reacting this time? Bush Jr. frowned and asked Card.
"The Democrats?" Kader couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then realized what his boss meant: According to the available information, the Democrats have nothing to do with this matter? Judging by the current reaction of the Democrats, are they prepared? Or, to put it more bluntly, is this incident itself a farce directed and planned by the damned Democratic Party itself?
The scope of this proposition is too large, and Carder must carefully think about it before he can draw conclusions to Bush Jr., and Bush Jr. also understands how important his question is to the next development of the situation, and does not urge Card, and the atmosphere is dull for a while.
After a full four or five minutes, Carder opened his mouth with a solemn face, and said slowly and carefully, "Mr. President, judging from the evidence available now, I still can't see the inevitable connection between the Democratic Party and this matter, but it does not negate whether the Democratic Party has played some disgraceful role in this. ”
George W. Bush immediately frowned, and Card's previous line was that although it is not clear whether this incident was planned by the Democrats behind the scenes, judging from the available evidence, it seems that the matter is also related to the Democrats.
Everyone is engaged in politics, and of course Bush Jr. understands such "straightforward" remarks.
"Well, Mr. Carder will sort out the evidence he can gather so far and send it to my office." So far, Bush Jr. has calmed down. After thinking about it, he said to Card.
Although he can no longer be the president of the United States after leaving office, he and his family have always been the top political family of the Democratic Party. His father is the president of the United States, he is the president of the United States, and in the future, his next generation will even be very likely to produce another president of the United States, and the influence of the Bush family in the political circles of the United States is self-evident, even if he will never enter the political arena from now on, it is absolutely impossible not to consider the future of the Bush family and the Republican Party. Not to mention that after he completely retires, his presidential political experience is a valuable asset of the Republican Party, that is, within the Republican Party, he can also get enough "consulting fees" and "consulting fees", and enjoy huge rights in the party.
Card understood the meaning of Mr. Bush's command, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away." ”…,
It is for the Democratic Party that has discovered such a huge hole in the Republican Party. But they didn't realize that the Republican Party and George W. Bush had already targeted them.
――――――――――――――――――――――――
John. Coppola was an American with thin Italian ancestry, but although John Coppola was a man of thin Italian ancestry. Coppola has a hint of Italian ancestry. Coppola's quintessential Italian surname makes it easy to see where he came from, but the question didn't bother him in any way.
On the contrary, from the above, including his great-grandfather, the Coppola family, who has always been born and raised in the land of the United States, actually has a huge influence in this land that ordinary people can hardly imagine. There aren't many people in Coppola.
All of this stems from John. Coppola's special status is not only the shareholder of the largest machinery manufacturing company in the United States, a large farmer with more than 100,000 acres of land in the United States, but also the leader of the two largest political parties in the United States: the republic. And stayed in the position of party leader for more than 15 years.
Within the Republican Party, there is a saying that yes, the Republican Party is rich in presidents, but it is actually Mr. Coppola who really has the final say. From this sentence we can see that John. Coppola's authority within the Republican Party is huge!
Right now. This big man, who has a huge impact on every move of the Republican Party, is frowning, looking through a document seriously.
The document was sent by Mr. Bush Jr., which is not surprising in the first place. Mr. Coppola has the utmost respect and is dedicated to John. Mr. Coppola did not send information once or twice, but this time, the situation was clearly different.
When all the information was over, John . . . Coppola pondered for a moment, thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed a number, "Help me make arrangements, I want to meet with Mr. Cohen." ”
Mr. Cohen, whose full name is Nicholas. Cohen.
Same as John. Mr. Coppola, like Nicholas. Mr. Cohen is the leader of the Democratic Party.
One might think that John. Coppola went to Nicholas for something that was almost already doomed. Cohen made some fuss, but John. Coppola would never have thought so, because in John. In Coppola's view, this incident has seriously undermined the rules of the game for everyone, and whether this matter is as George W. Bush said, he must work with Nicholas. Mr. Cohen talks face-to-face...... Of course, it would be best if there was no such thing, but if this matter was really done by the Democratic Party, then it is necessary for everyone to communicate well on this matter.
…………………………………………
Although the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two parties that compete to the death, the leader of the Republican Party, John Brown. Mr. Coppola, with the leader of the Democratic Party, Nicholas. Mr. Cohen was not as close to fire and water as one might think. Mr. Coppola by Nicholas. Mr. Cohen not only had a personal relationship, but even a very good personal relationship. Mr. Coppola will be with Nicholas. Mr. Cohen met and chatted casually, and even two months ago, they attended a cocktail party together...... For John. Mr. Coppola with Nicholas. For a big man like Mr. Cohen, to be able to meet once every two months is indeed quite frequent.
Nicholas. Mr. Cohen's work is also very busy, although he is not the president of the United States, but the entire Democratic Party has a lot of things up and down, and it is not necessary to be much brisk to be busy. Mr. Coppola expressed his desire to sit down with him and understand that John Coppola had learned from him. Coppola definitely has something to talk to himself about Nicholas. Mr. Cohen. Science readily agreed, and set the time for 8 o'clock tonight. …,
……………………
"Nicholas, I have something here, I think you need to take a look." John. Coppola holds a document in a file bag. Gently push to Nicholas. Cohen approached him and said to him, but he didn't say what was inside the bag.
Nicholas. Cohen's expression suddenly became serious. Coppola made a special call to ask himself to come out, in order to show himself this document, which shows that this document is in John's book. Coppola's heart weighed, although he didn't know what the contents of this document were. But as you can imagine, the things mentioned in it are definitely not small!
But before he could finish reading the document, Nicholas. Cohen's face changed, and he was even a little angry!
His anger was not directed at John. Coppola, but he immediately realized one thing: During this time, did he have a little lax in the management of the Democratic Party?
In Nicholas. Cohen looked at the documents when John. Coppola didn't speak, just waited quietly. As the leader of the party, John. Coppola is quite confident.
"What I can answer you now is, as far as I know so far. This matter has nothing to do with the Democrats," said Nicholas. Cohen put the finished file back and slowly pushed it back to John. Coppola's follow, to John. "But I can't guarantee that this matter has nothing to do with the Democrats at all, and I need to look into it when I go back." ”
"I believe Mr. Cohen." John. Coppola breathed a sigh of relief, believing that Nicholas . Cohen's words have nothing to do with the Democrats, at least. It has little to do with the entire Democratic Party as a whole, but what cannot be ruled out at present is whether this matter has anything to do with some influential bigwigs within the Democratic Party...... This is also Nicholas. Cohen didn't dare to answer John with great certainty. Coppola's reason for his grip on the Democratic Party made Nicholas . Cohen is very sure that this matter has nothing to do with the Democratic Party, but this does not deny that this matter has anything to do with some people or people in the Democratic Party.
This thing. That's it, John. Mr. Coppola and Nicholas. Mr. Cohen is a big name and a big man, and he will not do anything because of such a small thing, for them, when this matter is explained, how things will be handled is already predestined, in contrast, the two are actually more concerned with another matter.
"I wonder what Mr. Cohen thinks about Lehman Brothers?" John. Coppola to you Nicholas. Cohen asked.
For John. Coppola's Problem, Nicholas. Cohen didn't hesitate, "Although I don't like Lehman Brothers and Richard Brothers. But as things stand, it seems inevitable that you will support Lehman Brothers, otherwise you Republicans and your Democrats will most likely lose a lot of votes...... Of course, I think it is worth considering how to prevent some companies from learning from Lehman Brothers after encountering similar situations in the future. ”
"Yes, it's a very serious problem."
Yes, in John. Coppola and Nicholas. In Cohen's view, the thorny problem in the future is not actually the problem of Lehman Brothers, Lehman Brothers is big, the fourth largest investment bank in the whole country, and it is closely related to countless Mi families in the United States, and it will provide support for them Lehman Brothers, but the focus of the problem is, how to prevent similar situations from happening again in the future? Lehman Brothers' sudden cannon shooting has made John Brothers. Coppola and Nicholas. Cohen, the two leaders of the two major parties in the United States, was very unhappy.
It is true that this kind of similar thing is not something that any random company is qualified to do, but the problem is that those companies that are qualified to do this have a huge background, but this so-called "huge origin" is a little insignificant compared with the forces behind the Democratic Party and the Republican Party, but even so, if these companies really toss, it is enough for their own headaches.
If something happens to these companies in the future, they will follow Lehman Brothers one by one, then they will not have to do anything, and they will be full-time nannies who help people wipe their butts.
"I think maybe we can use this time to help Lehman Brothers get through this difficult situation and warn other companies to ...... this thing, apparently Nicholas. Cohen also thought about it, and now with John. Coppola said with almost no hesitation, "I believe that as long as you are not stupid, you can understand what we mean." ”
"I also think it's a good idea." John. Coppola nodded in agreement.
Just in John. Mr. Coppola: Good Nicholas. Mr. Cohen was deceitfully discussing how to give Lehman Brothers a warning, as well as other businesses and corporations that were on the sidelines. Coppola's secretary suddenly burst in with an anxious look on his face. (To be continued......)
