Doug had to arrange the meeting in New York, so Song Ya had to cross the country again and rush back from the West Coast.

"Underwood's situation is not good now, the Elephant Party has a majority in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and the Donkey Party will definitely not be able to stop the Elephant Party's boycott of next year's federal budget, so when the federal government shuts down in November and 800,000 government employees are forced to take leave, as the whip of the Donkey Party, he will definitely have to bear part of this responsibility."

Ms. Sloan knows a lot more about Washington and Capitol Hill than about New York and Chicago politics, and she went to work immediately after being called by Song Ya to pick her up, "and then there is the telecommunications bill, and there is an internal split between the two parties in this matter, and the chance of passing is really high, but there is a risk of capsizing if it is not handled well." ”

"Forget about the federal budget bill, the Elephant Party only wants to embarrass the current president, and the two sides will definitely reach a compromise after the government is shut down for a while. But if the telecommunications bill cannot be passed, it will be a devastating blow to the prestige of the current president and next year's general election, pay attention to my words, devastating, major TV networks, telecom operators, and equipment manufacturers are waiting for the bill to pass, and some large-scale industry mergers and acquisitions have begun in advance......"

"If Underwood is not careful, he may be pulled from the position of the party whip."

She said with a few treasures.

"I know, I understand Underwood OK? We were close when he was a small Illinois Representative. ”

Song Ya didn't want to hear this, "I've also been keeping an eye on it, it's not necessarily a good thing for me that guy to be in more trouble, and his wife hasn't taken the initiative to bother me for a long time." You can help me analyze why he took time out of his busy schedule to keep an eye on me this time. ”

"Wrangel."

Ms. Sloan replied: "The purpose of the telecommunications bill is precisely to stimulate competition, to deregulate and especially to deregulate mergers, and you know that some members of Parliament, like Wrangel, rely on small and medium-sized media groups like the Inner City Broadcaster, and they are generally concerned that increased competition in the industry will have a serious negative impact on these funders, so the voting tendency is very wavering, as is the case with donkey elephants." On the one hand, they must try to maintain the same vote as possible with the party, and on the other hand, they must not betray their own benefactors......"

"The black members of both parties in the House of Representatives are more grouped, and the black caucus of the Donkey Party is more numerous and stronger, and it is already a political force to be reckoned with.

"Now we all know that the foundation of which Wrangel is president receives a handsome amount of money every year from the Apollo Theater...... Well, that's a good fixed income for him, and we know that Underwood is eager to woo the black caucus within the Donkey Party, and that must be their motivation for banding together to find you. ”

“Fxxk！” Song Ya scolded after hearing this, "That bastard at Underwood wants to spend my money to make political capital for himself." ”

"That's how it should be."

Ms. Sloan smiled, "But with your current strength, your money is not easy to earn, he should offer a relatively good price, you might as well listen carefully first." ”

"What about Wrangel? Who's that? Song Ya asked again.

"Rangel was born in the Manhattan Four, was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives in '71, and has been re-elected for more than 20 years, you know, and then he parted ways with Pathsy Sutton and Dinkins, on the one hand, Pathsy Sutton made a big mistake to please white voters, and on the other hand, he himself is getting closer and closer to the mainstream political force of the Donkey Party, and is one of the black congressmen closest to the mainstream faction of the Donkey Party. In the past two years, he has been very active in standing with the current commander, which has been very effective. ”

Ms. Sloan continued: "And he has a certain amount of prestige within the black caucus that can partly influence the decisions of this political force. Of course, once it comes to personal interests, he will become a very cunning wall-to-wall grass, and he has a good timing and proportion of the blackmailing target, and he is very 'daring' and ......greedy to shout prices."

"For example, his interests in the Apollo Theater should not be a secret to the upper class politicians in New York, so from time to time there are proposals at all levels of New York Congress calling for an investigation into whether the Apollo Theater is suspected of corruption and benefit transfer, and most of the motives are really either to hunt down and kill Dingkins, who has been idle, or to go to him."

"At this point, he and the broken Dingkins and others have been playing games and cooperating for many years, after Dingkins lost the election and was politically finished, his weight as a tumbler in the black political scene in New York has increased significantly, and the Dingkins and Sutton families have to put up with him and rely on him to a certain extent."

"For example, in this negotiation of the capital injection of the inner city broadcaster, Dingins and Pierre Sutton will never touch his interests, even if it loses you as a good buyer."

"You said a lot of ......"

Song Ya frowned, "Can you sum it up in two simple sentences?" What kind of person is Wrangel? ”

"Party sticks." Ms. Sloan used only one word.

"Earlier, I got it all."

The group arrives in Harlem and meets Doug in a building behind the Apollo Theater.

"You two."

Doug still habitually hid in the shadows of the hallway, far more than a gesture.

"Mike, you wait here."

Songya led Ms. Sloan into the bookshelves-filled office, where Rrangel was already waiting.

"APLUS, MS. SLOANE, I CAN'T STAY IN NEW YORK FOR LONG, SO I WON'T TALK NONSENSE, SIT DOWN."

Rangel, who has gray hair and an artist's temperament, is still calm on the surface, "I heard that you withdrew from the capital injection negotiations, so decisive that even Dingins and Pierre almost didn't react?" ”

"I can't satisfy Pierre, Mr. Rangel."

Song Ya sat down, "If you get in touch again, it will only be a waste of each other's time." ”

"About the Apollo Theater?" He asked.

"Pretty much." Song Ya nodded.

"Underwood and I and the rest of us will do our best to help the Inner City Broadcasters keep the Apollo Theater, and you don't have to worry about that, as long as it doesn't show up on the Hell's Shelter Agreement."

"Ms. Sloan is your political advisor, and she should have told you all about it, right?" ”

"Yes, Ms. Sloan is very professional and the most professional."

Song Ya smiled at the big-mouthed beauty, "But I'm injecting capital to do business, and I'm going to abide by my own financial discipline." ”

"Remove that one, and we'll let First Bank of New Jersey relax the repayment period of more than 10 million yuan, and allow you to replace it with a low-interest long-term loan, of course, you have to make a personal joint and several guarantee."

Doug, who relied on the bookshelf, was not verbose, and simply made a condition, "So that you can win 30 ......percent of the inner-city broadcasting company with only more than 10 million cash in actual payment."

"Thirty-two, if it's thirty-two, Russell Simmons is willing to give two million more and only take thirty percent, we will give you priority."

Rangel added, "Just get that one out." ”

"I don't like First Bank of New Jersey ......"

Underwood must have had a deep relationship with the bank, having asked Doug to take out a loan from it when he bought Warren Brothers Synthesizers, "They used to forcibly draw my loan, remember?" Doug, ninety-one years. Song Ya naturally shook her head, "Its family is my refusal to recurrent the household, and I don't need a loan for the time being......"

Doug shrugged and looked at Wrangel.

"We'll also take care of your other troubles, like the Chicago case." Rangel said.

"I thought Mr. Dinkins had said he would never haunt me that case, and you were there, right? Mr. Rangel. ”

Song Ya smiled contemptuously, the last thing he could accept now was that he wanted to threaten himself with that incident, "Pierre said the same thing to you before, but I don't care, I don't accept coercion." ”

"I'm not blackmailing, I'm not going to blackmail you with something bad for you, but you do need help, right? In that matter. Like the black caucus in Congress, everyone, no one doesn't like you, and like Underwood......"

Rangel also made a bid.

"Mr. Wrangel, why do you want me to inject money? Russell Simmons is ready and money is waiting, am I right? Song Ya asked rhetorically.

"I'm not worried about him and the people he works with, Dingkins, they don't care anyway, but I can't." Wrangel replied.

"Can I rest assured? I'm not even a New Yorker. Song Ya asked.

"Didn't you write a song in praise of New York?"

Rangel stubble, "There is no better candidate than you, otherwise Persissaton would not have found you, the situation is like this, you, plus me, plus Underwood, we have a great chance of keeping the Apollo Theater." Replace me with Russell Simmons? It is likely that the management rights will be lost before 2,000 years. ”

"But you still won't accept a piece of paper." Song Ya said.

"With that agreement, you're not going to go all out to defend the right to operate, are you?" Rangel asked rhetorically.

Song Ya understood that the other party was always calculating, and what Ms. Sloan said was not wrong at all, she was really a seasoned party stick, "Why don't you let me talk to Underwood in person first." He didn't want to talk any more and looked at Doug.

"Yes." Doug thought for a moment and nodded, "But it's inconvenient on the phone, and he can't leave at all." ”

"To Washington, then? Now, I have a private jet. ”

"Mr. Underwood, how are you doing?"

He hurried to Washington again, "How are you talking to Wrangel?" I need the support of him and the black caucus on my side. Underwood, a little haggard, refused to allow Ms. Sloane to be present and spread his arms, "Pressure from all sides, the recent votes on bills have been a bit difficult for me to deal with. ”

"I understand, but this time it's 30 million business, do you remember the acquisition of Bath Chemical?"

Song Ya smiled and stabbed in the face, "When you intervene, I always don't spend my money happily." ”

"There's always something good, right? I mean taking down the Inner City Broadcasting Company. Didn't you communicate thoroughly with Doug and Wrangel? Underwood didn't mind his attitude at all.

"That old man actually brought me the Chicago case, and I came to make sure you were planning to use that case like him......"

"Absolutely not." Underwood hurriedly spread his hands, "I'm from Chicago, I support you, and I support Peter, unconditionally, OK?" ”

"That's good." Song Ya nodded.

"But we need to help each other......"

"Oh my God, here we go again, I'll take 30 million out, what about you? Is this called helping each other? Song Ya held her head in her hands and shouted in a pretended gesture.

"I'll help you solve that case once and for all." Underwood said: "Thoroughly, without any hidden dangers! ”

"Then you just said that you supported me unconditionally!?"

"This is an opportunity APLUS, Wrangel is backed by a black caucus to make an offer, the general is worried, and I am under pressure......"

Underwood also raised his voice, "But it's also a chance for you and me, a real chance for APLUS!" I'm going to tell the Grand Commander about the needs of the black caucus and ask him to help you solve your problems, otherwise how can I convince him to intervene in a case where an FBI agent was killed? Who in the United States can solve your troubles once and for all? If you don't take it at this critical point in time, how can the Grand Commander be willing to make a move? You pay 30 million to completely solve the trouble and successfully inject money into the inner city broadcasting company, I have no pressure, the commander can sleep well, Wrangel is satisfied, everyone wins! ”

"Wow, wow, wow, you say that it seems that there is no loser in this matter, and I don't see much of this kind of thing." Song Ya sneered.

"Nope! You know who the loser is APLUS, that dead detective has lost the chance of justice being done forever! ”
