In fact, Roland Allen, who was listening, was not surprised when Henry Rumfeld admitted that there was a deal between the small bush government and energy companies, or even if Henry Rumfeld said that all the events were caused by the preservation of the dollar's position in global trade, Roland Allen still felt normal.

Of course, this is not because the memory of his previous life made him understand that what the other party said was true, but because the knowledge of his previous life let him know that the lifeblood of the bush family was originally oil and dollars.

If it is more fruitful, it is to ensure the important position of oil in human energy, and to ensure that the dollar is the dominant currency in oil trading, in fact, to ensure the vital interests of the bush family.

Why?

Because the bush family started out on oil and dollars!

Samuel, the great-grandfather of Little Bush, was also a genius who could hug his thighs.

When he was young, he happened to encounter the industrial revolution in the United States, although he was in the steel manufacturing industry, he knew that oil was the lifeblood of the industrial revolution, so he decisively hugged the thigh of the Rockefeller family and mingled with Frank Rockefeller, the brother of oil tycoon John Rockefeller.

In 1900, Rockefeller, who monopolized 80 percent of the oil refining industry and 90 percent of the oil pipe business in the United States, was invincible, and while holding the other party's thigh, Samuel's steel manufacturing business was also booming.

No way, when Rockefeller, who sells oil, tells the railroad companies in the United States that you can only use my brother's steel equipment, do the bosses of those railroad companies dare to let out a fart and try?

Try it and die!

Oil doesn't sell you!

With the support of the other party, Samuelton, the great-grandfather of Little Bush, became a top industrialist of the time.

But the good times didn't last long.

Anyone who knows that history knows that in 1911, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled to split Standard Oil into 34 regional oil companies, because the government smelled the danger of free pricing brought about by monopolies.

As a result, the oil empire controlled by the Rockefeller family collapsed, and the great-grandfather of the little bush ......

It was also affected because of this matter.

This is like what Kong Shangren sang in "Peach Blossom Fan"-

"Seeing him rise up the Zhu Building, seeing him feasting guests, seeing his building collapse!"

After witnessing the rise and fall of the Rockefeller family, Samuel understood that the most profitable business monopoly in the world without rights? You can't do it? So, when he found out? After the start of the First World War? Does the U.S. government need to unite business people to form the War Industries Commission to act as a liaison and supervisor of government procurement and commercial trade? As a top industrialist, he took on the thankless drudgery.

Entered the War Industries Committee and became the head of the Ordnance Section and the Arms and Ammunition Section.

And will his son Prescott? Sent to the army.

Of course? After joining the committee, what he did the most was not actually in charge of procurement, but making friends? At last? He became friends with Hu Hua, who was also born in machinery and industry and served as the chairman of the American Relief Committee.

I have to say that Samuel's vision is very good.

When he wanted to pursue business development, he hugged the thighs of the Rockefeller family? And while pursuing power on the way, he found the thirty-first president of the United States? Although after Hu Hua took office, he immediately stuffed his friend into the unemployment benefits committee? Let him get a job in Washington, but in fact......

What helped Samuel the most? Or is it true? Changing the fate of the Bush family? It's not that thing at all.

Because when Hu Hua was the Minister of Commerce, the two began to communicate frantically, and when they discovered that the economy of a country's lifeblood can actually be reflected in currency, getting into the financial industry became what Samuel wanted to do the most.

With the help of the other party, Samuel entered the fourth district of the US Federal Reserve System, that is, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland, and served as a director in it, and it was because of this choice that his son Prescott, who was the father of Old Bush and the grandfather of Little Bush, met George Walker.

Who is George Walker?

A descendant of a family of slave owners, he organized the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair, and of course, his greatest achievement was not this, but the establishment of the investment company "GH Walker and Co." at One Wall Street.

Later, it was acquired by Merrill Lynch and became a shareholder of Merrill Lynch.

If this is not a reflection of his bull beep, the Brown Brothers Harriman Company, in which he took a stake, is the largest private bank in the United States, and during his eleven years as president, he made a large political contribution to the first of the 100 greatest Britons in '02 and the only president in American history to serve four consecutive terms.

And his efforts finally cheapened his son-in-law.

When Samuel was a director of the Federal Reserve Bank, his son Prescott hooked up with George Walker's daughter, and it would be a joke if he couldn't do it when his father and dad were all paving the way for him!

When Prescott's father-in-law stepped down from the Brown brothers Harriman, he became a partner in the company, and when the wheelchair president took office, he joined the Joint Planned Parenthood Commission.

Although he eventually died during his term of office, he was succeeded by a bush supporter, and he worked his way up from Connecticut Elephant Party finance chairman to senator.

Of course, while this one is climbing up, he has not forgotten how his father made his fortune.

When he used his father-in-law's power to get a half-official position, he also pushed John Rockefeller's grandson Nelson Rockefeller and recommended him to be the assistant secretary of state for the presidential term in a wheelchair, and after mixing his qualifications, he also supported him as governor of New York.

What's this feeling?

I don't want to be the secretary of state, I'll let you go!

With this kind of support, even if the Rockefeller family is no longer as good as before, they continue to promote Prescott's son, that is, Old Bush, when Old Bush is discharged from the army, ready to take root in Texas, but when they encounter the problem of no money and no technology, they still control the shares of major crude oil companies and directly give money to the oil field!

And when the old bush wanted to go on a career but lost the Texas Senate race, Nelson Rockefeller directly introduced this nephew to his henchman Kissinger, and then Kissinger even pushed him to Nixon!

How did the first important position in the old bush's life, the position of US ambassador to the United Nations, come about?

When his grandfather hugged Rockefeller's thigh, everything was already doomed!

And then the position of chairman of the National Committee of the Xiang Party is even more natural!

Why can't you get on the presidency if you become the director of the CIA?

Don't kid me!

When my grandfather took root in the oil field, and my father still held on to the thighs of the energy giants, whether I could be president or not was not up to the law! And when my grandfather was betting everywhere, and my dad was holding shares in major financial companies on Wall Street, even if the law clearly stated that the guy who was the director of the CIA couldn't be president, we could change the law!

In this case, Roland is really too lazy to listen to Henry Rumfeld and him about their relationship with oil and the dollar, because the stability of oil and the dollar is not only the stability of the energy giants, Wall Street and the military-industrial complex, but also the stability of the bush family itself, although the statement that oil and the dollar are the bush family is a bit exaggerated, but ......

You can't say that oil and dollars are not theirs, right?

But when Henry Rumfeld really put it all on the table, Roland knew that there were some things that he really had to listen to, and shale oil......

Ay!

It's hard to say!

"Henry." Roland, who still didn't want to go into the topic, looked at each other with a smile and said, "You and I, a guy who is engaged in entertainment, talk about shale oil...... Is this really good? I don't know anything about energy, so I ......."

However, before Roland could finish speaking, Henry Rumfeld, who was determined to pull him into the game, had already smiled and said: "No, No, No, this kind of thing like oil, unlike the semiconductors you made, actually doesn't have any technical content." ”

"But there is no technical content and there is also an entry threshold, and at the same time that the market has been carved up, any new person will be attacked by inherent forces." Roland wasn't fooled, he wanted to clean himself up.

As soon as these words came out, the smile on Henry Rumfield's face became even bigger, he took a sip of water from his glass, and then shook his head and said, "Okay Roland, in fact, from beginning to end, we have no intention of wooing you into this industry."

So, you should be able to let me finish my sentence with confidence, right? ”

When Roland continued to show his resistance, Henry Rumfeld stopped pretending, and with his showdown, Roland's face also showed a wry smile, turned his head to look at his wife, and found that the other party was leaning on the sofa and closing his eyes to recuperate, he understood that he just didn't want to listen to the things, and he had to listen to them before he could leave.

In this case, Roland didn't squirm anymore, and said directly: "The FBI owes me a favor." ”

"Sony will die, and no matter what the final outcome of the Enron case is, we will do it before June this year."

When it came to the exchange of interests, Henry Rumfeld, who had been prepared for a long time, also answered quickly.

"The FBI is directly involved, the Department of Justice will follow up within a month, and we promise to complete the dismemberment of Sony within three months."

"I deserve it, and besides, it's good for you." Roland shows his greed.

But Henry Rumfeld felt natural, as if capital was not greedy, and that was a strange thing.

So he asked, "What assets do you want?" ”

"Sony Music Entertainment." Roland was blunt.

"What is your internal valuation?"

"Two billion, halved and acquired one billion."

"How about halving, 500 million, three-year fundraising period?"

"Deal."

Roland held out his right hand.

Seeing this, Henry Rumfeld suddenly raised his hand and shook it.

The clean and neat dialogue is like buying vegetables in the vegetable market.

As soon as the lips touched, a company with a market value of more than 2 billion was set at 500 million by the two.

It seems ridiculous, but that's what trading for money is.

Whatever you want, you say, I want what I want, I will say.

When both parties feel the right fit, the deal is struck out.

As for what negotiations?

Please, only to do business, you need to negotiate.

And now, they're not in business at all!

In the case of robbery with a gun, just press the rebel to death.

No need to waste saliva.

"So you're going to hear me done now?" While shaking hands with Roland, Henry Rumfeld also sighed: "I finally understand where your wealth comes from now, you are so vigilant, others can't pit you at all." ”

"Oh, Henry, don't say that." Roland shook his head with a smile, "I just think I can still be young and have a lot to learn, so I try to reduce contact as much as possible before understanding, so as not to make jokes because of lack of knowledge." ”

"Hum hum hum hum ~"

Henry Rumfeld snorted lightly, didn't bother to pay attention to Roland's shameless caution, and then said directly: "Actually, you can understand shale oil as oil stored in stones, unlike those oil fields that can be exploited directly, shale oil is very troublesome to obtain, according to the treatment process, basically pyrolysis, hydrogenation, heat treatment of these three.

Anyway, you don't involve this industry, so I don't need to tell you the specific process, plus we have cooperated many times, so the key to the problem and our attitude, I can actually show you.

At the beginning of the last century, we tried to extract shale oil, which was led by the Ministry of Energy at the time, but it was not successful, because the carbon dioxide emissions of shale oil are higher than that of conventional oil production, and in addition to the gaseous products such as nitrogen oxide, sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride during the extraction process, as well as particulate matter in the air, the environment is destructive, and people living in shale oil areas are much more likely to develop asthma and lung cancer than in other places.

So, when a lot of oil fields were discovered in East Texas, we put a moratorium on shale oil development.

But in the fifties, when we went from being an oil exporter to an oil importer, the development of shale oil was put on the agenda again, and it was the Ministry of Defense that led the project, which collected the oil with very poor fluidity through drilling and fracturing, steam drive, etc., but this method of extraction would affect the water pattern of the surrounding area, and the groundwater level needed to be lowered below the oil shale formation, which would have a lot of impact on the surrounding arable land and forests, so it was finally stopped.

It is precisely because it is very troublesome to mine and has a great impact on the environment that the donkey party, which does not have a close relationship with the energy company, is reluctant to approve our development plan, but ......

We have to develop shale oil now.

Moreover, we have a new technology that is different from before.

Even if the impact of the technology is not yet known, no matter how much the donkey party tries to block it, we will put this project on the agenda.

And that's what I'm meeting you for......

We'd like you to be able to give us a word and tell Zipton that we're definitely going to push for the Energy Policy Act, and if they're willing to pass it, we can actually sit down and talk......"

Under the lens, Henry Rumfield's eyes flashed with a gleam.

And Roland greeted the other party's mother in his heart.

'Hold the grass, you mother! ’

In fact, when he learned that Little Bush had a conspiracy deal with the energy giant, he knew that Henry Rumfeld met with him in the case of the two parties of the donkey elephant, and the situation would definitely not be so simple, but when the other party really said his demands, Roland realized that this special mother is not simple!

This special code is simply to let yourself go to find and scold!

Let him help bring a message to Zipton, saying that he wants to unite with the Donkey Party to promote the development of shale oil?

Didn't this Nima just see that he wanted to contact the old bush and the zipper at the same time to work on "House of Cards"!

Roland dares to guarantee that if he didn't make this appearance, then they would definitely be on the bright side and the donkey party to the end, and with their own involvement, a roundabout move forward has become their best choice!

After all, a president can be in office for a maximum of eight years, and eight years will not be able to achieve the revival of an industry at all!

If the successor is still his own person, then all this is easy to say, but if not......

That's fun, but it's a big deal.

It's like understanding that the king has been in power for two years and has been watching the sea for eight years.

If the successor is in opposition and pushes his own bill......

Doesn't that mean nothing?

Therefore, if we want to solve the problem at the root, we can only achieve bipartisan cooperation.

But the question is, let the little bushes go directly to peace talks with the donkey party?

Is this realistic?

The small bush can have today, it is because of the efforts of his ancestors and all parties for generations!

As the biggest second ancestor in American politics, it is absolutely impossible for him to bow his head to those ordinary people!

In this case, slamming to the end and showing his fists, that is the most important thing for him to do!

But if in the process, there was the capital that supported him and helped the Donkey Party bring him friendship and peace......

And what about him......

Actually, it's not that unreasonable, is it?

Although on the surface, Henry Rumfeld hopes that Roland can tell the Donkey Party that he also has the idea of peace talks, but if it really happens, then they will definitely promote it as the Donkey Party!

Because the root of cooperation is that the donkey party has regressed on the Enron case, and once it regresses, it is to admit defeat!

I want to work with you or want to punch you in the face?

This is even more excessive than bandit logic!

And when this kind of thing was put in front of Roland, he thought about it with the bottom of his feet and understood that this group of old coins were pit themselves!

“Son of bitch！”

When he returned to the hotel, Roland kicked over the round table tea table in the living room!

Even if Henry Rumfeld can represent the Little Bush government to waive his 500 million capital contribution in the Sony Music Entertainment acquisition case, and can still suspend the subsequent payment for three years, he is still very unhappy!

Because this thing is impossible!
