Chapter 471: Power Framework (Medium)
Although Clara has never been a housekeeper, she is indeed well organized. One morning, she not only discussed with Maya a few things to do back to England, but also arranged suitable jobs for the hundred servants she had brought yesterday according to her own ability, and made them all move.
By noon, the manor was already very lively.
What made Chu Tianjiang a little relieved was that Clara had a lot of self-control. With a hot spring pool in the back garden of Zhilu Road and direct access to the underground hot spring water, Clara not only resisted the urge to soak for a few hours, but also arranged a trip to Paris. Don't forget, Clara likes hot springs very much, and after following Chu Tianjiang to the United States, she hasn't soaked in hot springs for almost two months.
Although Cassandra and the others accompanied them, they did not take the limousine specially arranged for Chu Tianjiang.
"What is this?"
"Guest list." Clara handed the piece of paper to Chu Tianjiang. "Above, the red line indicates that those people are the guests who are the key invitees."
Chu Tianjiang quickly swept through it and returned the guest list to Clara.
"Remember?"
Chu Tianjiang nodded and said, "It's just some names, it's easy to remember, but it's not so easy to associate names with people." ”
"I just know that you didn't do your homework seriously."
"It's all homework?"
Clara smiled and put her left hand on Chu Tianjiang's forehead. Although Clara can communicate with Chu Tianjiang through consciousness, it was only after Chu Tianjiang absorbed the energy bodies that Stephanie left in Lakewood that Chu Tianjiang found that it was more efficient to communicate consciousness under direct contact, and could transmit a large amount of information in a very short time, so as to achieve the purpose of exchanging massive amounts of information.
"Now you know the way?"
"This is what the Grand Butler told you?"
"Of course, do you think I'm that good?"
Chu Tianjiang smiled, and then thought about it seriously.
There were thirteen important guests on the list, five of whom were elected senators who had already come to Versailles, and eight were French magnates who had wielded real power. The five elected senators are from Poland, Denmark, Belgium, Austria and Portugal, and they are the only elders of their countries and the magnates of their countries. The eight French magnates who held real power were the commander of the Versailles garrison, the commander of the Paris garrison, the chairman of the Paris Military Control Committee, the chairman of the Paris Order Committee, the president of the Paris Parliament, the mayor of Paris, the president of the French National Assembly, and the chairman of the Preparatory Committee of the Bundestag. These people, without exception, are all energy people, and some are double and triple energy people. According to the information provided by Zhang Xiaogang, the highest magnate who has appeared in public so far is three times the energy person.
It's just that what Clara wants Chu Tianjiang to pay attention to is not the identity and status of these people, but their hobbies.
"Got it now?" Seeing Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath, Clara said with a smile, "If you want to entrap others, you have to do what you like." For example, the Danish senator-elect Yankel is a veritable drunkard, even after becoming an energy man, alcohol can no longer affect him, but he is still addicted to alcohol, and he has to drink a lot of alcohol every day, if he doesn't drink one day, he doesn't have any energy. In addition, the Polish senator-elect Bischofski was particularly fond of food, and he had more than a dozen chefs in his family, and the dishes would never be the same for dinner every day for a month. Of course, the five elected senators don't need special attention, as long as you send out an invitation, they will definitely come to the banquet. ”
"How many others need special attention?"
Clara nodded and said, "The other eight are all French magnates who hold real power and are directly related to your personal interests, and you should not only invite them, but also prepare a gift when you invite them." Of course, these eight people should also be treated differently. ”
"How do you treat them differently?"
"For the first six, you can give a gift first, and then send out an invitation. As long as you prepare the right gifts, they won't say no. For the latter two, you have to first reach out to them to talk about some topics that interest them, and then send out invitations after getting closer. If they don't refuse, send someone to deliver the gift to your door. If nothing else, they'll gladly accept your invitation. ”
"That's a lot of trouble."
"You think it's easy to throw a banquet?"
Chu Tianjiang pursed his mouth, indicating that this is what he meant.
Clara smiled and shook her head, and said, "If it's just a family banquet attended by family and friends, you just need to prepare food and drink, make a few phone calls, or send someone to invite you, and you're done." This kind of banquet attended by celebrities is not so simple. In the past, it was necessary to prepare at least ten days in advance for such a banquet, and it is best to prepare fifteen days in advance. If there are dignitaries on the guest list, invitations should be sent out a month in advance, and the banquet time will be determined according to the schedule of the main guests. We only had five days, and we didn't set a time for the banquet according to the schedule of the main guests, so this little thing was not a hassle at all. ”
"Okay, what now?"
"Visit the most important guests first."
"Who?"
"Judd, chairman of the Preparatory Committee of the Federal Assembly."
Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, this Judd is by no means simple. He is not only the chairman of the Preparatory Committee of the Federal Parliament, the only confirmed candidate of the Senate in France so far, but also a man of triple energy. What's more, this guy holds the future of the Bundestag in his hands. Although he does not have the authority to determine the choice of the Senate, he is already the first Speaker of the House of Lords, and will prepare and form various functional committees after the establishment of the House of Lords. For the senators who entered the House of Lords, the basic way to realize their dream of power was to join functional committees, preferably functional committees with significant influence, such as the National Defense Committee, the Science and Technology Committee, and the Economic Committee.
"I've already arranged for someone to go and buy other items, and in order to show your sincerity, you have to visit him in person, and you have to visit him first."
"Do you want to do what you like?"
"If necessary."
Chu Tianjiang sighed, looking a little reluctant.
This Judd has a very unique hobby, that is, he likes to watch bloody and violent underground gladiatorial fights, and he especially likes female gladiatorial fights. Rumor has it that near Rennes, there was a gladiator training ground funded by him, which housed thousands of gladiators, most of them women. Most of these female gladiators came to France as smugglers and were therefore unable to obtain immigration status. Although Judd promised to win 10 fights in a row to obtain immigration status and a settlement in the reclamation area, for months no gladiator could win 10 fights in a row, and the French authorities did not accept women alone, and women had to be dependent on a man in order to be eligible for immigration and settlement. There are also rumors that at Judd's gladiator training ground, the instructors are all X fighters from the United States, and the head coach is an all-round X fighter with energy, and these coaches themselves are very powerful gladiators.
If you just like gladiatorial fighting, even if it's a gladiatorial fight between women, there's nothing special about it.
The most perverted part of Judd's particular hobby is that he controls the life and death of gladiators. Before a gladiatorial fight, he would choose a weapon for the gladiator at will. Legend has it that on one occasion, he threw his knife and fork to two female gladiators and told them to fight for the death. If the duel performance is very exciting, Judd will also personally go down and let the winning gladiator fight him, and he will often make tempting conditions that the gladiator cannot refuse, such as being free after defeating him, so that the gladiator can do his best. Unfortunately, none of the gladiators ever defeated him, as most gladiators were just ordinary people, and Judd was a triple energy man.
It was obviously a bit difficult for Chu Tianjiang to cater to Judd's hobby.
"I've asked Enid to call the Fukushima brothers."
"What?" Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and looked at Clara in disbelief. The Fukushima brothers are triple energy people and will be discovered when they arrive in Paris.
"When the time comes, they will all be ordinary energy people, and they will be exiles from the United States."
"Exiles?"
"There are a lot of energy people in the United States, and some of them have escaped from New York, so it's not a strange thing that you can collect two energy people."
Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then understood.
When they left the United States, many energy people fled Manhattan Island, otherwise Chu Tianjiang would not have let Connie and them stay in the United States. Therefore, even if the Fukushima brothers came to Paris, as long as they were ordinary energy people, they could be said to be exiles taken in by "Karen". As for the extra energy bodies in the Fukushima brothers, they will be handed over to other energy people in the legion before following Maya to leave the UK.
"You can't offend Judd anyway."
"Then you have to invite him?"
"Of course, if you hold a banquet at home and invite many celebrities and dignitaries, but you don't invite him, doesn't that mean you will offend him?"
"This ......"
"I know that you look down on people like him, and you don't want to deal with people like him, but what can you do?" Clara leaned on Chu Tianjiang's shoulder. "France definitely has what we're looking for. Where this thing is hidden, Judd may not know the way, but he is the main clue at the moment. Don't forget, he's the only one with triple energy. Before coming, the butler told me that we should keep an eye on him. ”
"He's not the only one with triple energy."
"He's at least the only person with three times the energy that can get us close." Clara knew the meaning of Chu Tianjiang, that is, Jacqueline was also a triple energy person.
Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and didn't say anything more.
If Chu Tianjiang was to decide, he would prefer to catch Judd one night, and then let Zhang Xiaogang read his memory directly.
