Chapter 100: Senators

The rattan chair is still rocking.

Chen Zhongguo showed a hint of an incomprehensible smile, half emotional, half reminiscing: "The Chen family's scholarly family, I wanted to start with you." I'm still happy to see you go to Jiangning University...... Alas......"

"Aren't you happy now?" Chen Yi couldn't help but be stunned.

Grandpa shook his head and nodded, and said, "Money is endless, $15 million a day, it sounds like a lot, billions of dollars in a year, right?" ”

He asked himself: "Billions of dollars are not spent on business, but for business, and when it comes to the business of mastering money, in China, in the final analysis, it is a political career." Ayi, do you want to go into politics? ”

Chen Yi didn't think that billions of dollars couldn't change his grandfather's mind at all, so he spat out and said, "I don't like politics very much." ”

"Like it or not, you don't know until you experience it." Chen Zhongguo smiled and said, "Don't like it." If you want to do business, you can do it, but you can't give up on your studies. ”

"Yes." What else can Chen Yi say?

Seeing his reluctance, Chen Zhongguo said clearly: "I know what you are thinking, but let me tell you, the number of companies that make billions of dollars a year, not to mention how many there are in the world, I don't know how many pass through my hands." ”

The old man dropped his bookbag and said: "The oil companies, chemical companies, and coal companies of the year were all companies that made money, as well as gold mining, television production, and steel manufacturing. Can it make tens of billions of profits every year? ”

"They are state-owned enterprises, we can change our business model." Chen Yi is really not worried about not making money.

The old man shook the rattan chair and commented with a smile: "The world of young people is sunny, let you play for another two years, but you remember, whether it is to make money or study, that is not the goal, what the purpose is, you have to find it yourself." ”

"Yes." Chen Yi was sweating finely, after the old man stepped down, it was too philosophical.

"Tell me about your high-frequency trader again." Chen Zhongguo leaned back on the rattan chair, looking like he was waiting for Chen Yi to tell him a story.

Although he is old, because of the problem of the nature of his work, he reads books and newspapers every day, and occasionally encounters problems that he does not understand, professional problems, and asks the people of the research institute -- the legendary national think tank, to a certain extent, is indeed affecting everyone's lives. Because policy makers can't be all-encompassing, knowing everything.

All they can do is draw a line and let the thinkers of the relevant professions compete for debate to arrive at what seems to be the desired conclusion.

Although Chen Zhongguo retired, he didn't really retire, that's still a matter of two words. If there is no hope, he will not close his door.

Chen Yi has always trusted his grandfather's judgment, and when he saw that he was interested, he really gave him a little description as if he was telling a story.

Chen Zhongguo listened for a while, reached out and took out a towel from the back of the chair, wiped his forehead and said, "I can understand a little, so let's go find someone." ”

"Yes."

"Nie Hao of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has been in the United States for 20 years and has made a lot of business friends. You can ask him to introduce you to some friends and see if you can get in touch with high-level people. There is a US Senator Schumer, and if you can pull him to the same line, the matter will be done. ”

The person introduced by my grandfather will definitely not be a low-level civil servant. Chen Yi was taken aback, and said with a smile: "Is this considered to be using your influence?" ”

"Count. Unless you surpass me, no one in the Chen family will be able to hide. Chen Zhongguo held his head proudly.

"You don't always keep us ......"

"I allowed this matter, and it is my ability to make money from foreign devils." Chen Zhongguo put up the towel again and said: "The other one, as I said earlier, there are many companies that make money, but the companies that make money are still amazing. You have to remember that China's 1.3 billion people, all walks of life, standing on it, are the top people, other people in the family, I don't think they have the ability to fight with them, you are the first. ”

That's a compliment.

Since Chen Yi can remember, his grandfather has been in a high position and has never been easy to praise.

In his impression, the number of times he can get praise is really handful.

A wave of arrogance, as if it was contagious, reached Chen Yi's body, he bounced up from the chair, and said loudly: "I will definitely help grandpa to return to the top." ”

"Oh? Good! Ambitious. Chen Zhongguo laughed, and the housekeepers ran over.

He waved his hand to signal that there was nothing to do, and said with a hearty laugh: "Grandpa, I'm happy in my heart, you go and do your own business, I'll secretly drink two glasses of wine." ”

Chen Yi smiled and followed the housekeeper out.

Han Jie always stayed in the car, and she was happy to see him with a happy face.

The next day, Chen Yi checked the information and made an appointment with Na Nie Hao again.

Grandpa's secretary didn't show up to help, which made him a little strange, but he didn't ask either.

In this way, although he knew that he was Chen Lao's grandson, Nie Hao regarded Chen Yi as a bit of a student, and his attention was really limited.

The place agreed upon by the two is even their office, after all, Nie Hao is a department-level cadre in his forties, even if it is a request from his old superiors, he has to pay attention to ways and means.

After Chen Yi thanked him politely, he said bluntly: "Regarding Senator Schumer in the United States, do you have any information there, can you help me win him over?" ”

"Schumer?" Nie Hao was slightly surprised, and then said: "Shu Mo is the ruthless role of the Ming Cook Party in the senator, do you want to ...... Interview him? ”

Chen Yi blinked his eyes, he really didn't understand the situation.

Nie Hao understood that he would be wrong, closed the file in front of him with a smile, and said, "Talk about it, talk about it." ”

Chen Yi still didn't say anything about his company, but only asked questions: "I want to win over Schumer so that he can pass some bills that can guarantee the relative monopoly of a financial company." ”

"Monopoly?" Nie Hao didn't expect it to be a big topic, sat up straight a little seriously, and said: "Schumer is not very friendly to China, and he proposed those bills for RMB appreciation. ”

After finishing his words, Nie Hao turned the conversation and said, "What kind of bill do you want him to pass?" ”

In this regard, Chen Yi has long thought about it maturely, and immediately said: "I want him to restrict the juxtaposition service providers." This is unfair competition. ”

"Side-by-side service providers?"

"It is a brokerage that connects its own computer in parallel with the exchange's computer, so that it can get the news in advance." Chen Yi explained the relevant content again.

He is not prohibiting himself from trading, in fact, because of his computer computing power, he can be faster than other traders as long as the exchange maintains fair trading.

Maybe in a few years, when the new generation of computers for brokers comes out, his advantage will be reduced, but for now, physical distance is far from a bottleneck.

Nie Hao began to understand it.

He originally thought that he was taking care of his children and nephews, but now it seems that things are quite troublesome.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Hao hesitated and asked, "What is the name of that company?" ”

He shouldn't have asked that, but because of the other party's young age, his strong curiosity prompted him to ask.

Chen Yi said without hesitation: "It's just that if Schumer takes the lead and gets this bill, there is no need for a company name, right?" ”

He is not hypocritical, since he told his parents and grandfather all the information about the company, he is naturally not worried about confidentiality. Moreover, the registration information of Golden Resources International is not top secret.

However, it is difficult to say which company made the demands on Schumer and which company benefited from it.

In other words, the company I own is not necessarily the one I lobby for – it may be entrusted to someone, but once it is spoken, there is no room for turnaround.

Nie Hao knew this, he couldn't say anything, and secretly judged the current situation of Chen Yi and the Chen family.

Wall Street financial firms sound pretty powerful.

If it was Chen Yi who owned it, he would definitely not believe it. If Chen Congyu owns it, why didn't he come forward.

In the speculation, Nie Hao said: "Chen Lao's matter, that is my business, there will be no shirk." Let me first talk about the difficulties, the first is Schumer's unfriendliness to China, which I can do through my American friends; The second is that Schumer's status is higher, he is the chairman of several important committees of the US Senate, in Washington, how are they all in the top 10 figures, except for official channels, I can't speak on my side, I have to find someone and find someone again, I'm afraid it's not easy to do; The third is the cost of passing the bill, you may not know, Schumer was picked up by Wall Street, at least most of the time, he represents the interests of Wall Street financiers, and you want to limit them now, and the possibility of Schumer agreeing is very small. ”

Chen Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Then there is only the third question left." ”

"What?"

"On the U.S. side, I'll do it through an American intermediary. How to talk to Schumer, I also have a candidate, but the price of the bill ......" Chen Yi touched his lips and said, "Is money a channel to solve the problem?" ”

"In the United States, of course." Nie Hao laughed, and then said: "But after all, if you can give money, other people can also give money, it is not enough to simply smash it forward, you have to use money to generate momentum." ”

Chen Yi nodded understandingly, and said, "I can prepare 10 million US dollars as the first batch of operating funds, can you recommend someone to choose me?" ”

Nie Hao was dumbfounded.

He finally knew now what kind of style the children of the family were.

10 million US dollars, he has a lot of money, but he has never had it.

After thinking for two minutes, Nie Hao thought about it again and again, and said, "Since I said it, I have a few candidates, maybe find a time to meet ......."

"No, you don't." Chen Yi coughed and said, "I don't have enough experience, if I can, I hope Director Nie will take care of this." When the time comes to pay the money, it will be paid directly by the American company. ”

Bribery of senators, or political dealings, is not a good reputation.

Chen Yi still wants to mix in the United States and doesn't want to get involved.

Compared with his daily income of tens of millions of dollars, it is most appropriate to take out the money.

So many political brokers in Washington who work full-time lobbying are for the feather-loving businessmen.

As for Nie Hao, he doesn't care what his reputation is in the United States.

His thoughts, the Director of the Bureau, naturally understood.

Nie Hao still sighed in his heart that Chen Yi thought carefully, and then agreed.

In a few small rounds, he had a great impression of Chen Lao's grandson.

Not to mention children of the same age, even the leading cadres of their own generation, how many can think so clearly.

What he thought was: The Chen family has such a young man, but he can't do it.

How did Nie Hao know that Chen Yi not only had an intelligence scroll and a listening scroll on his head, but also had already eaten a lot of green berries.

The integration of the three is invincible in negotiations.

After a while, Nie Hao smiled and said: "You are a freshman at Jiangning University, my son is also in Jiangning University, this year should be a junior, if you have time, you two should get closer to each other." ”

He took out his business card, wrote his son's phone number on it, handed it to him, and said, "If you have time in the evening, come to my house for dinner." You can get to know each other. ”

With his mind turning, he also decided to re-strengthen his connection with the Chen family.

Chen Yi smiled wisely: "Thank you, Uncle Nie." ”

In fact, Chen Zhongguo asked him to come to Nie Hao, which also meant to be tempting.

If Nie Hao was still willing to maintain a close relationship, he would definitely help Chen Yi. And if Nie Hao is willing to maintain a close relationship, Chen Yi's performance has a certain stimulating effect.

This is not only a test of Chen Zhongguo for Chen Yi, a test for Nie Hao, but also a step for him in the political arena.

It is a hand of chess during retirement.

God knows when this idle move will come into play.
