Chapter 10 ["The Rape of the Sun" (I)
The car is Mercedes-Benz, Yang Wei is obviously very familiar with the roads in Toronto, she is driving steadily, and the expression on her face is somewhat unfathomable.
Just as I opened my mouth to ask her what she wanted me to help with, Yang Wei took out a very thin folder and threw it to me.
"What?"
"You take a look first."
I opened it, and the first one was a personal resume with a photo in the upper right corner. It was a yellow old man in his sixties, who looked very fat, with small squinted eyes, a pair of glasses, and a serious face. The hair on his head has turned gray, but his eyes are very deep, and he looks very energetic.
I flipped to the back at random, and there were a lot of color photos, but the angle of the shot was very positive. I was stunned for a moment, and then I realized that these photos were probably not taken secretly, but taken by regular photographers, whether it was lighting or angle, they were very professional.
In the photo, the old man poses in a variety of poses, some are speaking, some are contemplative, and some are posing with others......
"Who is this?" I took a look at the photos and turned back to the first page......
U.S. House of Representatives ...... Honourable?
I was stunned for a moment, but then I saw the name on it......
Jason ...... Nakata? I blurted out, "Damn! rì himself? ”
Yang Wei looked at the car intently, and said quickly: "Yes." Jason. Nakata, male, 63 years old, the third generation of American rì descent, he was born in the United States, grew up in the United States, except for the blood that flowed on his body is the blood of Rì himself, otherwise he can be said to be a complete American. In 1996, he officially became a member of the State Assembly. He won the election by an overwhelming margin and became a member of the House of Representatives and a member of the Mínzhǔ Party...... Very determined. And if nothing else, he will begin to gradually enter the inner circle of the mínzhǔ party in two years......"
After Yang Wei finished saying this, he sighed and glanced at me: "That's the general information, followed by his personal resume, and ......"
I was a little impatient: "Why are you showing me a personal information?" ”
"I'm looking for your help." Yang Wei seemed to smile. She gave me a quick look, "I guessed you'd react like this...... Alas, I know you hate Rì himself, and so do I...... But this kind of thing, you must help me. ”
I frowned: "You...... What do you want me to help you? A U.S. congressman of rì descent...... You'd better make it clear. ”
"To be precise, a member of the Federal House of Representatives mínzhǔ party, he is a member of the mínzhǔ party." Yang added with a smile.
"I don't care what party he is." I suddenly became suspicious. glanced at her and said in a deep voice, "You...... You're not going to let me kill him for you, are you? ”
Yang smiled and glanced at me quickly, with a somewhat charming look: "Of course not!" You're kidding. ”
"You'd better start at the beginning."
"Hmm." Yang Wei pondered for a moment and said slowly: "The midterm elections in the United States are not far away, and now all parties are nervously raising funds...... she thought about it and said with a smile: "Maybe I need to explain it to you...... In the United States, the presidential election is held every four years, but the congressional election is held every two years. Known as the midterm elections, the U.S. Congress is not the House of Representatives and the Senate, and every two years, the Mínzhǔ Party and the Republican Party will fight to the death, and whoever can get a majority in Congress will be able to effectively control power...... You understand that, right? ”
I smiled, "I went to elementary school at least!" ”
"Good ......," Yang sighed slightly, "Now that the president of the United States is a Republican, the Mínzhǔ Party can only find a way to win the congressional election and fight for as many congressional seats as possible in order to fight to the death with the Republican Party...... Therefore, the election of members of parliament is also crucial for them...... And this rì parliamentarian, he is from the mínzhǔ party. ”
"In fact, the so-called election is just a political game. The battleground between the two sides is a struggle between politicians. But behind it, there must be a lot of financial support...... That's what we usually call 'political money', get it? She smiled and said slowly: "During the election, in order to build momentum for my side, TV, newspapers, and all media carpet publicity, as well as trying to buy intelligence and expose the scandal of the other party. These all cost a lot of manpower and material resources...... In a word, it is...... I need a lot of money!! ”
"In the United States, those big politicians have the support of big business behind them. The big families and big conglomerates of the traditional forces in the United States will use funds to support the political party of their choice behind their backs, and once their supporters come to power, they will give them great benefits, policy support, and so on. It's complicated...... And this rì parliamentarian, he has not yet become a 'big politician' in the true sense of the word, and now he is just a potential person who is developing into the inner circle, so those real big business will not waste money on such a quasi-first-rate, or second-rate politician. And now, in the face of the election, he is also out to 'pull sponsorship' everywhere...... Do you understand? ”
I patiently listened to Yang Wei and exhaled: "I can probably understand...... But what do you mean by saying this to me? ”
Yang smiled a little strangely: "If there is no accident, in a while, you will see this Mr. Rì Senator at Mr. Thorin's banquet." ”
Pull Sponsorship......
I lost my voice and said, "No...... Did he go to Canada to find Sorinla's sponsorship? Sorin is Canada's biggest underworld leader...... A congressman asks for money from the underworld for his own election, and if it is exposed, he himself will be finished! ”
Yang Weiliang's expression did not change at all, and he asked me in an indifferent tone: "What is this?" Isn't the money of the underworld money? The U.S. Congress is elected every two years, and so many members of the Congress participate in the election...... Do you know where the political donations behind them come from? Do you think that's ridiculous? I'm telling you...... At least in Huaneda...... In several families in Las Vegas, there are people who send a lot of money to those politicians every year for them to vote! And this Jason. Nakata is quite smart, and he even traveled all the way to Canada to get sponsorship......"
Yang Wei patiently explained to me: "Mr. Solin has been working hard to bleach in the past two years, and he has a lot of legal industries and companies under his name. These are not afraid of exposure...... Moreover, although Canada has always been the backyard of the United States, it is not the United States after all, and it can effectively avoid the eyes and ears of the media and opponents. It is not easy for others to find out the source of his funds...... Also, did you know that Mr. Sorin is working on an ocean shipping group? Hmph, he's done his smuggling business, and now he's going to do legitimate ocean transportation...... And the branch he is about to set up in the United States just needs to be ......" Yang Wei sighed and shook his head: "Chen Yang, these political things are too complicated, and I can't understand you for a while...... But this rì himself is indeed here to pull sponsorship. ”
"Okay." I nodded: "So what does this have to do with me?" What do you need me to help you do? ”
Yang Wei didn't answer me directly, but continued: "Solin's legitimate business is all under the name of a group company...... And now, you use the drug resources to do business with Mr. Sorin, and change the share of the legitimate business, if I am not mistaken, Solin will give Fang Baye a part of the shares of his own group in exchange for the supply of drugs for the next two years...... So, morally, if Sorin finances politicians in the name of the group...... Then, it was necessary to make Fang Baye nod. Of course, this is just a scene, and Eighth Master Fang shouldn't meddle in these things...... But, after all, he will also become a major shareholder in the Thorin Group. Therefore, when the time comes to pay the money, it will also need to be nodded and signed by Fang Baye, even if it is just a look. ”
She said this in one breath, and then said with a smile: "Now Mr. Sorin has not decided, after all, it is good for him to pay for an American congressman, but it is not very tempting, and for Sorrin, he is still thinking about it." As for whether he finally agreed or not...... My guess now is, fifty percent, half and half. And in this case...... The role of Fang Baye is reflected...... Although this is not about Fang Baye's business, if at that time, he only mentions an opinion as a major shareholder, which symbolizes xìng, maybe he will be able to influence Mr. Sorin's decision! Although Thorin is a very assertive person, he does not have a final answer to this matter, and it can be said that he has been hesitating now. ”
"What the hell do you want me to do?" I smiled wryly.
"It's simple...... I hope you can find a way to influence Eighth Master Fang, and then let Eighth Master Fang advise Mr. Solin ...... Refuse this rì newspaper person's request. She thought for a moment: "If it's possible, it's better to have some kind of conflict between them, and that's the best!" ”
I was stunned and couldn't help but touch my nose: "That's it?" ”
"That's it!"
I sighed and looked at Yang Wei deeply.
"What are you sighing for?" Yang frowned slightly.
"This kind of thing, I'm afraid I can't do it well." I was a little embarrassed: "Your purpose is to make Mr. Solin refuse to sponsor this rì himself, hoping that I will influence the Eighth Master, and then let the Eighth Master influence Mr. Sorin...... It's too complicated. I suddenly asked, "What are you doing this for?" ”
"It's simple." Yang Wei replied to me very simply: "Because I plan to sponsor him!" So I hope that Sorin will reject him, and then I will have a chance to show up when he is in trouble, and at that time, when I negotiate with him, I can also get better terms. ”
Looking at my strange eyes, Yang Wei also smiled bitterly: "Don't look at me like that, okay?" My family does business in the United States, but we have always lacked political allies...... It's not that we're reluctant to feed the politicians...... But you know, my family...... It's Chinese! There is a strong [**] force in American politics, and our yellow skin and black hair have already made those arrogant white politicians unwilling to cooperate with us. But now, this Jason. Nakata is different, he himself is Asian! It's a good opportunity for us to get involved...... I tried my best to catch this big fish...... But I'm not going to show up yet. Because I know that only when he is at his worst, at that time, can I reap the greatest benefits! ”
"Why don't you just talk to Mr. Thorin? If you talk to him, he will probably agree to give you the opportunity to cooperate. I suggested.
Yang Wei immediately shook his head: "No!" She glanced at me with a hint of mockery in her eyes, "You don't know much about Mr. Thorin yet...... He's a standard old fox! He's now on the same page as Jason. There is not much interest in Nakata cooperation. But if I suddenly get closer, it's likely to go in the opposite direction...... You know, a cargo, maybe no one cares about it, but if suddenly someone is grabbing the cargo...... In the eyes of others, it will feel that it is particularly valuable! Thorin is an old fox, and if I suddenly showed his intention to rob him, he would probably eat the 'cake' in one bite! ”
I couldn't help but pick up the information again, flipped through it, and suddenly remembered a question: "By the way, this Jason. Nakata, since he is of rì descent, why is there no rìmoto consortium willing to sponsor him? I do know that if Rì himself is elected to the US Congress, there must be a fanatical consortium of Rìben who are willing to spend a lot of money! ”
Yang Wei's face became more and more strange at this time, she seemed to want to laugh, but she shook her head and didn't laugh.
"Because...... None of the rìben consortiums would spend money to sponsor him...... And, in rì Ben, Jason. Nakata, he was called the 'sinner of rì ben'! It is an object of absolute hatred. ”
“?” I was surprised.
"Ugh." Yang smiled: "Let me ask you, the U.S. Congress once had a very famous [**] bill against China, which is the so-called 'human rights bill', accusing China of human rights problems and calling for sanctions against China...... You know that, right? The first two years were famous. ”
"Yes." I nodded.
"What if...... I mean if! If this bill is submitted to the U.S. Congress and demands that China be condemned...... It was a Chinese parliamentarian who did it, what would you think? ”
"Damn!" I raised my eyebrows: "Lao Tzu will definitely want to kill him!" That kind of person, Han jiān! If I had the chance, I would have found a way to kill him! ”
"Well, then if the people in the country know his name......"
"I will definitely be scolded by the people of the whole country as a Han jiān!" I blurted it out almost without thinking, and then I reacted and asked, tentatively, "Is it ...... This Jason. Nakata, is he a 'rìjiān'? ”
"It's hard for me to say whether it's 'rìjiān' or not, but he is definitely the object of rì's own scolding, there is no doubt about it." Yang smiled:
"For Rìben, the biggest scar is undoubtedly the ugly history of World War II and the bloody crimes of that year...... I know that there is a lot of anti-rì clamor in the country right now. In particular, rì local zhèngfǔ never acknowledged massacres in war...... Invade...... And also...... Well...... Comfort woman! ”
"Just last year, it was this Jason. Nakata, who openly conducted an investigation into the World War II-era comfort women incident in the U.S. Congress, and spoke in public, demanding an apology and reparation for the crimes. Later, as a member of the U.S. Congress, he also had a big war with Prime Minister Rìmoto, and made many 'anti-rì' remarks. And just last year, he submitted a bill to the US Congress! It's about the crimes committed by Rìben on the comfort women issue during World War II...... He submitted a bill to Congress, hoping that the United States would come forward and order him to immediately stop lying, immediately admit his guilt publicly, apologize publicly, and make reparations. As soon as this bill came out...... Jason. Nakata can be regarded as famous in rìmoto! All the right-wingers in this country are eager for him to die. ”
Depend on!
My eyes widened!
And these things?
A member of the U.S. Congress, of rì descent, submitted such an 'anti-rì' bill to the U.S....... No wonder he would be hated to death by Rì himself.
"The result?" I was immediately interested.
"The result? The sensation was huge, but in the end, the bill was almost executed...... But in the end, it was shelved under the power of Rì himself. ”
After Yang Wei finished speaking, he and I glanced at each other, and both of them sighed regretfully at the same time.
It's a pity! It's a shame......
Hasn't the United States always promised itself to be "the world's jǐng cha"? He always meddles in the human rights issues of other countries and interferes in the sovereignty of other countries. If that bill passes...... I would like to know if Rì himself will have the courage to confront the Americans under the interference of the United States.
"It's a pity...... However, this Jason. Nakata is really strong! I leaned back in my chair, holding the document in my hand, and the more I looked at it, the more I realized that this guy was not an ordinary person.
"That's why I just said, this Jason. Nakata, in fact, can't be considered rì himself. His ancestors immigrated to the United States, and he is already the third generation. He was born in the United States, lived in the United States, and was basically an American through and through, except for the difference in the appearance of his skin. It's like if you meet a black person in the United States, you can't say they're African. Yang pursed his lips and smiled: "However, this matter is also interesting, and it is also with that bill, Jason. Nakata turned red all of a sudden. ”
She smiled again: "You say, in such a situation, which of the rìben consortium companies would dare to pay to sponsor him?" If it spreads, it will immediately be scolded to death by Rì himself. ”
I figured out the whole story, thought about it carefully, and couldn't help but smile: "Originally, I still wanted to retreat, but now that I heard you say this, I was very interested." ”
"Oh?" Yang smiled.
"Hmm." I thought for a while: "First of all, you are my friend, my friend is in trouble, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help...... I hesitated, just worried that I wouldn't be able to do it well. And now, knowing that this Mr. Councillor is such a good man, I will try it even if I bite the bullet. ”
"Why?" Yang smiled: "Could it be that this old man of rì descent has a bigger face than me?" ”
"Of course not!" I giggled and said, "It's just that the one who is disgusting in my life is Rì himself." And this councilor, Mr. Yili is actually against Rì本zhèngfǔ, then I must help him get the funds! At least let him continue to sit in the position of this US congressman! In this way, he will have the opportunity to make more trouble for Rì himself in the future! Hahahaha......"
The enemy of our enemies is our friends, isn't it?
"Don't worry, one of the conditions for our family to cooperate with him is to hope that he will continue to adhere to the proposal he made in the future...... Hmph, the 'Chinese Power Bill' in the U.S. Congress has also been shelved many times, but those [**] elements have been resubmitted again and again...... I'll get Jason too. Nakata will continue to work on that bill in the same way......" Yang smiled and winked at me, "Of course, this is just a small condition. And that motion is Jason. Nakata's political capital, he himself will not give up. ”
"Good!" I slapped my thigh: "I did this!" You tell me to do it! To be honest, I never thought in my life that I, Chen Xiaowu, would one day actually contribute to help a rì himself! ”
Yang Wei smiled bitterly in the same tone as me: "I, Yang Wei, never thought in my life that one day I would rush to the door automatically to send money to him to spend - I was afraid that he would not accept it." ”
We looked at each other and laughed again.
"But what should I do?" I frowned in thought.
Yang Wei smiled: "As long as you are willing to help, I have a way." ”
She had a smile on her face...... However, the way she laughed was very cunning......
