Chapter Forty-Six: The Undercurrent Surges

(Chapter 46 of Volume 4 issued on No. 18 has only now been reviewed due to the review of individual words in the chapter...... I'm sorry for the confusion in the order of the chapters, but I'll try to avoid this problem in the future. )

The effect of the lecture at Bodan was obvious, and almost all the media directly involved in the report that day spoke with an unprecedented unanimous voice, unanimously supporting Li Jie's artificial genome project, which shows the success of his brainwashing.

It is estimated that it is rare for the public opinion circles to see such one-sided support, so that those who were originally resolutely opposed were also confused for a while, and there was a brief loss of voice. It took two days to set off another wave of opposition, and even took out the example of Li Jie's artificial genome bill being voted down by the US Congress to ridicule supporters, and the arguments and attacks and insults flew all over the sky, and the noise was inexorable.

But few people have noticed that the bias of public opinion has quietly made Li Jie pull back a lot.

However, these are mainly confined to China, and the United States has rarely mentioned the lectures, and there has not been much change, and the wave of opposition is still rising higher and higher, and the demonstrations are even more uninterrupted every day.

Obviously, some people can be said to be scheming, and secretly put a lot of effort into it.

"Jie Shao, it is estimated that it is not a big problem to make the effort in China. But to be honest, if you really want to get started, the key is to see whether the bill in the United States can be passed. Otherwise, people only need to say one word -- even the United States itself is unwilling to implement it, and most people at home will also have concerns. After all, it is still a little unconvincing. ”

Knowing that Li Jie had returned to the United States, Cai Chengping, who was far away in Los Angeles, also came to New York to discuss with Li Jie.

Ever since Li Jie mentioned to him that he was interested in cooperating with him in the artificial genome medical project in China, he was very interested. Now everyone knows that once the artificial genome project is completed, it will be a flowing sea of gold and silver. Even the family behind him was moved and supported him to cooperate with Li Jie with all his might.

The unprecedented praise and encouragement of the middle-aged elders of this family naturally made Cai Chengping full of enthusiasm, and he also made a lot of efforts in the domestic public opinion publicity.

"What? You don't have faith in me anymore? ”

Li Jie threw out a cigar and looked at him with a smile.

"Then how can I have confidence in Jie Shao! The grandchildren. Aren't you afraid that if we get it, they won't have anything to eat? I don't know how many stumbling blocks have been put in my back. Cai Chengping looked indignant. However, under Li Jie's sharp gaze, he quickly deflated and smiled bitterly. "It's all my own brothers, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. This time I fought my hard, if I didn't make it. I don't have much confidence to speak in the future. Now that the resistance is so great, I have no bottom in my heart, and I can only count on you to be less. Cai Chengping has always been cynical, but I didn't expect that at the critical moment, he was also a layman. ”

He seemed to think of something again, and said: "Jie Shao, I know that you are the one who is most stressed, and you are not the one who grinds and chirps." So I want to ask for a truth, can this thing still be done? ”

Of course, Li Jie knew that Cai Chengping was under a lot of pressure. This guy is also a decisive person, and after seeing the artificial genome project, it can be said that he is desperate. Connections, resources, and money are all invested in the Huaguo project, and everything is ready. After all, he doesn't know as much about the inside story as he does, and he can gamble with his eyes alone, which is not extraordinary.

Li Jie smoked a cigar comfortably, his eyes swept over the other party and smiled:

"Where do you tell I'm stressed?"

Cai Chengping was stunned, and he didn't understand it very well:

"The vote on Capitol Hill is not very rosy. But I also have some special relationships, and I can more or less get a ticket. But there is still a big gap in order to pass, and I'm afraid the rest will have to think of other ways. ”

Li Jie waved his hand casually and interrupted him:

"There's no need to rush the specific tandem, I've never been bothered by the passage of the bill. The reason why it has been dragged on is just to make this matter more widely spread and let everyone pay attention to it. Have you ever seen a spring? When the compression is to the limit, it will have the maximum force when it explodes. ”

Cai Chengping seemed to understand a little, but he saw Li Jie's full confidence, and hurriedly asked:

"Jie Shao, don't sell it, what surprises haven't you come up with?"

"Some people just don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, they don't let them recognize the reality, and they will repeat it over and over again. Now, we just need to be patient and wait for a suitable moment to completely overwhelm their resistance. ”

Seeing Li Jie's unhesitating attitude, Cai Chengping took a reassuring pill and went back to prepare.

In fact, answer John? Doerr and Larry? When Page asked, Li Jie replied in the same way:

He's waiting, waiting for an opportunity.

As for what he was waiting for, he didn't say, but the tone that could not be disobeyed was enough for these people to hold back their impatience again and pay silent attention.

……

Wall Street, Manhattan Center, New York.

This section of the street, which is no more than a mile long and only 11 meters wide, is lined with skyscrapers, and the street looks like a deep canyon, and when you stand in it, you can only see a narrow line of sky.

Countless large banks, trust companies, insurance companies and stock exchanges have set up important offices here, and thousands of white-collar workers and a much smaller number of financial magnates flock to work here every day, which can be described as a super symbol of the financial world.

"Have a nice day, sir."

"Thanks, Barry."

Polished brown leather shoes stand on the ground, Elton? Cass stepped out of his luxury car, straightened his sky-blue twill tie, and waved his hand at Barry, the respectful driver behind him.

However, he did not immediately enter the company, but thought about it, turned and walked to a newsstand not far away.

Have a great day...... Who's happy up!

Elton muttered, his face gloomy.

For a long time, Wall Street was the Olympus of the global capital markets, towering in the sky and unattainable. Wall Street's financial magnates are like the Greek gods, transcendent and overlooking all beings. But that's all in the past. Wall Street is no longer what it was then. 9/11 was a turning point in the neighborhood's fortunes, as the bursting of the bubble in the U.S. housing market, followed by the subprime mortgage storm and credit crisis, which wiped out the brilliance of Wall Street.

Many years after that. What was once a financial mecca has been up and down, and it is no longer in its prime.

The growth of electronic trading and over-the-counter trading has made "concentration" less important, and some big players such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Morgan Stanley have moved their headquarters further north to Midtown. Of course, the NYSE Tower is still standing, and Wall Street will never stop.

It's just that the world is not good, and who among the financiers can be happy.

The 38-year-old is already quite a good mix, head of the health care business at Jefferies & Pany. His annual income can reach the level of 10 million US dollars when he is good, and 7 or 8 million US dollars in the two years when he is bad. It's a lot of money.

But this still can't hide the brutal nature of Wall Street, which is fiercely competitive, very hard, and mentally stressful, and he is basically ready to deal with the battle 24 hours a day in order to win over important customers. I have to relieve stress and adjust my state in various ways, so as to maintain full energy and clear mind at critical moments, and participate in the fight in a better state.

Harris? Toller sat idly in the newsstand, as usual, seemingly idle, but in fact kept an eye on what was going on around him. When to see Elton? When Cass walked over, his eyes immediately lit up. He has always been very attentive to Wall Street bigwigs, because these people have always been generous. I don't care about the price at all.

And this Elton? Cass was one of his important customers, so he immediately greeted him with a grin.

"Good morning. Mr. Cass. ”

"Morning, old way, bring me a copy of the Wall Street Journal."

Take Elton? Cass's identity requires a newspaper, which can be subscribed by the secretary and delivered directly to the office, without too much effort. The reason why he personally walked to the newsstand every day to buy it was certainly not to increase the amount of exercise.

Generally at this time. All he had to do was stealthily hand over a few Franklins ($100 bills) wrapped in a $1 bill, and Harris, who was skilled at feeling the thickness, would immediately understand. Pull out a newspaper with bootlegged goods from below and give it to him - in addition to the Wall Street Journal of the day, there is also a small amount of ke*ka*yin.

However, today, Harris did not immediately take the note with a hidden mystery, but glanced around, saw that no one noticed this, leaned his head slightly, lowered his voice and said mysteriously:

"Mr. Cass, I have some new arrivals here, especially for you, I don't know if you are interested?"

Elton looked dissatisfied, thinking that the bootlegger was going to sell him those messy psychedelic mushrooms and the like, and pouted impatiently:

"What's going on? Harris, I thought you were a solid guy, don't play tricks on me, do as I say! Harris, however, did not apologise or sneer away from the subject, as he had hoped, and though that was a common tactic of the bootleggers, today he was clearly a little unusual, and said again anxiously:

"I assure you, Mr. Cass, it's a superstar that hasn't been seen on the market, and I don't have many here. Because you are a regular customer, I especially recommend it. ”

Elton had been dealing with this slick guy for several years, and it was the first time he had seen him introduce him so solemnly, and he suddenly felt a little unusual. He didn't want to linger too long to attract the attention of others, so his mind was spinning rapidly, and he asked:

"What's the price?"

Harris grinned, revealing his dirty yellow teeth and a sly glint in his eyes.

"500 pieces, 10 grains. Sir, you should understand what this means. ”

500 pieces!

Ten capsules!

At most, it's only one or two grams!

Elton's eyebrows twitched, surprise on his face. Of course, it's not because of the shyness in the pocket, for him, 500 and 5 are not much different. It's just that as Harris said, it's not the first day he's come into contact with these things, and he's never heard of such expensive goods, which really aroused his curiosity, and he didn't hesitate to add two more bills, which were rolled under the newspaper, and at the same time handed a warning look:

"Your stuff should be worth the price."

"You won't regret it, sir."

Harris smiled mysteriously again.

Elton is not worried about the other party deceiving him, because these bootleggers are not the characters who shoot and run, and they are also long-term.

On Wall Street, it is normal to sell more expensively, and the big guys don't care about paying more, but the smugglers know how to grasp the scale and cooperate for a long time, and they will never go too far.

So, ten minutes later, Elton returned to his office on the thirty-eighth floor, with a small, delicate sky-blue pill bottle in his pocket. (To be continued)
