Chapter 382: Long Island Bridge

"As soon as I encounter this kind of stealing chickens and dogs, I think of myself!" Seeing Francis put on his equipment again and walked away, Li Qingyuan touched his chin and muttered to himself.

The other party is an old fox who has been immersed in politics for decades, which is completely different from Feng Shande's struggle that relies on the shadow of his ancestors.

Of course, it's not that Feng Shande is not excellent, after all, although the Feng family can indeed be regarded as a big family in the flower planting family, but if he is really a piece of mud, then it is impossible to achieve today's position no matter what.

The simplest truth, Xiang Jinpeng is still the only heir of the Xiang family, what is the result?

It's just that although Von Sand is already an outstanding elite talent among the younger generation, he is still not comparable to an old fox like Francis, who can play with the president of the United States between applause.

Therefore, when the negotiations reached an impasse yesterday, Francis directly terminated the dialogue and sent Li Qingyuan the message of today's meeting.

It is said that this time, Feng Shande, as a representative of the delegation, came to discuss major issues such as trade between the two sides, so naturally it was impossible to bring such harsh conditions.

Even if the key to negotiation is to ask for money at a sky-high price, but you really opened the price to the sky at the beginning, and then you still can't talk about it?

The secretary of state, for his part, was annoyed by the arrogant attitude of the other party, and directly told Francis that everyone could go home, and the other party did not want to talk at all.

But with Francis's political wisdom, how could he not smell the cats inside.

If you really don't want to talk about it, the flower grower will not send this delegation at all, but the current attitude of Feng Shande is very suspicious.

It is true that the other side behaved at the negotiating table as if it was fighting for the national interest, and even the secretary of state could not see that there was anything wrong, but who was Francis?

His mother died early when he was a child, his father was a rotten drunkard, and his family environment was not much better than Fiona's.

However, he can rely on his own efforts and step by step, and slowly climb to the pinnacle of secular power, and he is about to win the highest position.

It's just that although he knew that Feng Shande had a problem, he couldn't do anything about it at all.

After all, the other party's foundation is planting flowers, even if he is the vice president of the United States, he is helpless against the other party, at most it is just deportation.

But in that case, it is estimated that it will follow the other party's wishes.

This feeling of being led by the nose was too annoying for Francis.

So he needs intelligence, first-hand intelligence.

And it is definitely not possible to count on those people in the FBI, Feng Shande, as a representative of a dignified country, is surrounded by the original team of people brought by himself, and the FBI can only sigh.

What's more, Francis doesn't completely trust those people in the FBI.

Don't forget, Raymond's relationship with the current President Walter is much closer than his, and if he uses official channels, who can guarantee that the other party will not get the news in advance.

"Mr. Raymond, I've done what you want me to do, when will you be okay over there?" In the luxurious villa where Feng Shande stayed, the two of them were sitting in the study and discussing in a whisper.

As the leading energy tycoon in the United States, it is normal to visit the head of the flower planter's delegation, so Raymond's itinerary was not hidden, and Francis easily investigated the time when he met with Von Sander.

Unlike Feng Shande, who was just in his thirties, Raymond was already an old man who was nearly seventy years old, after all, no one could have the unique advantage of Feng Shande, who could directly become the richest man in a country at the age of thirty.

"I still need time, you know, I can only influence Walter's decision, but I can't replace him." Raymond said, stabbing his cane.

It is true that he and Walter have been old friends for decades, and even some American president has always regarded him as a teacher and a father, but even if he is his own son, it is estimated that not many people will be willing to listen to his father's nagging when he is fifty years old, right?

"I have instructed the country to do the construction manpower and design drawings required for the Long Island Bridge, and as long as the negotiations are completed here, construction can be started immediately." Feng Shande thought for a moment and said.

Since taking office last year, Walter has been constantly trying to reform the domestic system and stimulate economic growth, and passed the so-called education bill at the beginning of the year, but although the bill was finally passed, it also caused a nationwide teacher strike, causing his popular approval rating to plummet.

Of course, it is said that the bill was the hand and foot of Francis in it, but who called Walter was the one who nodded his head, and who did not look for him?

Therefore, Your Excellency the President, he wants to hurry up and do a few big things and make a big news, so as to increase his bargaining chips for his re-election in three years.

And the Long Island Bridge is the big news that Walter thought of.

Long Island is one of the most important counties in New York City, covering an area of only 4,000 square kilometers, but it is home to more than 8 million people, and these people are the so-called national elite.

To name a few of the simplest examples, General Motors, the Rockefellers, the Roosevelt family, the Clinton family, and many others all live on Long Island.

Long Island is a peninsula that rises from the east into the Atlantic Ocean, and while it is said that being able to live on Long Island is a status symbol, the length of more than 200 kilometers is really daunting for many people.

In order to reflect their own style, everyone naturally lives as far east as possible, so as to separate themselves from the ordinary people in the city.

But if you really live in Taidong, then it is too inconvenient, after all, you have to cross more than 200 kilometers to go to the urban area, and it is estimated that the daylily will be cold when you get to the urban area.

It is true that those big families have their own helicopters, but it is too bad to take a plane to go out every day to buy vegetables.

So if Walter can build a Long Island Bridge to make it less troublesome for those famous families to go out, then his next re-election is almost a certainty.

No matter how democratic and fair the election campaign in the United States is, it is actually only the result of a compromise between the major forces.

Originally, this matter seemed to be very simple, Walter only had to make a suggestion, and the rest of the matter would naturally be solved by others, and because it was related to the convenience of travel for major families, even the Second House of Representatives would not have the brain-dead to give an opinion.

But when Walter said this idea, reality directly punched him hard.
