Chapter 246 ACLU
Hearing this name, Edward couldn't help but exclaim, there was a bit of a performance element in it, but this is also business etiquette, otherwise how could he be worthy of the other party's hard work.
But it was still unexpected, so the tone and demeanor were unusually sincere, which made Vanessa very satisfied.
Edward knew what was going on between him and the Percy man......
cough cough cough ...... The relationship is certainly not good.
Strictly speaking, Lord Percy doesn't like him to love someone, and as for him, he is not qualified to express his feelings for him.
A rat has no right to express good or bad opinions about people, and if it is forced, it can only start with a joke and end in tragedy.
In the Bergman case, although Mr. Percy did not lose the public image he cared about the most, although he did not end up with a good result.
But he is a big man, and the big man wants more than just money and power.
They prefer the feeling of having everything in their own hands, and if things go unexpectedly, they are likely to tear off their faces and be furious, even more uneducated than the roughest butcher.
Edward had not experienced this situation, but Mizrasi Rabi had experienced it countless times in his long years, and passed it on to his grandson as an important and necessary knowledge of survival: "Try not to get involved in such things, but if you can't avoid it, then don't try to excuse yourself with quibbles, but try to prove your ability and prove that you are a useful guy for him." Then the anger of the other party may become an opportunity, after all, the big man does not hide his temper in front of his closest subordinates. ”
"Usually, you are only qualified to withstand the wrath of your boss after becoming the closest and most capable subordinate, but it is not impossible to do it the other way around, it is a shortcut, but the shortcut is usually full of thorns, and you need to use your own wisdom axe to carve a way......"
The words came back to his head.
Now that the representative of Lord Percy is here, his previous efforts and the game of hide and seek from the Lord are officially over.
But he also wondered, things have been going on for a long time, why do you come to settle accounts at this time?
It doesn't make sense......
"The thing about theaters in the United States is to mess with the back......" Vanessa almost caused Edward to fall off the couch as soon as she spoke.
"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense" denies the three subconsciously about to exit.
Fortunately, I stopped it in time, and now I love someone differently, although I am shocked, but I am good at pretentiousness.
He adjusted his sitting position, leaned back on the sofa easily, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and looked at each other coldly, so that at least he could get back some momentum to avoid completely falling into the rhythm of the other party.
Obviously, Vanessa is a master of negotiation, and this set is extremely skillful.
"It's useless, don't do this with me, you probably haven't grown a beard when I'm fighting with others in various senates......"
"You look relaxed on the couch, but it makes me laugh that your arms are on your chest and that you're vigilant and ready to fight back at any time...... My child ......" Vanessa spoke without mercy.
But being able to get through those few seconds was very important to Edward.
His mind raced, and finally, he got up from the couch and poured himself a glass of whiskey: "Ma'am, you're right. I admit ......"
Vanessa didn't seem to expect the other party to admit it so happily, and she was a little surprised for a while.
In fact, she prepared a lot of almost vicious words to provoke him, so that he could unconsciously say things that he shouldn't have said in his rage.
But now it makes her feel like a punch is empty, but it's nothing at all to her.
"I think I underestimated the abilities of a senior senator." Edward smiled wryly, a wry smile from the bottom of his heart, "He's even better than the FBI." ”
"So, now we can talk to each other officially?" Vanessa has always been in charge of the discourse.
This aggressiveness made Edward very uncomfortable, a bit like Meghan who had just met back then, but in terms of Taoism, Meghan and this one are completely incomparable.
New York Municipal Senate, this title signifies Vanessa Hodges as the true black-and-white master.
The Senate is elected by the people, and if you want to be elected, you must have a deep influence in the community, and after being elected, the trouble has just begun, and the New York City Senate is the municipal Senate.
It's not a good place, it's more like the jungle of Indochina, although the sun is on the head, but countless towering trees and vines coiled on them make the rainforest at noon like dusk in New York, and the pythons and poisonous insects hiding in these branches and leaves can kill people.
In terms of Vanessa's age, this is not a small miracle, of course, a miracle is a cover for the world to see, and there must be corresponding chips behind it......
Edward wanted to slam him back.
But these days he is so tired, he is facing the middle capital of Wall Street, this is not a war that ordinary people can participate in, he can do this, no matter whether he wins or loses, when the matter is over, writing a book will definitely sell well...... This is an experience worth bragging about to his juniors in the future - but the price to pay is exhaustion, even in his sleep he is thinking about how to fight these predators, which exhausts his brainpower, so that in the face of Vanessa's attack, he can't even think of a counterattack strategy for a while.
He was silent, took a sip of whiskey, and then raised his glass, tilting his head and grinning, slightly dumbfounded, but also a little wise.
Two heavy punches in a row did not have the expected effect, which surprised Vanessa a little.
But this seems to be better, the other party no longer has the courage to resist head-on, after all, behind him is a senior senator, obviously the other party is not stupid.
"It's over." Vanessa said, "Get your people back." ”
"And then?" Edward asked
"Don't interfere with the normal functioning of Wall Street, which will have consequences that you can't imagine and absolutely can't afford."
"If that's the case," Edward smiled, casually spilling whiskey across the carpet in a horizontal line, the rich aroma of wine filling the gap between the two, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
"What are you doing here?"
"I'm of Chinese descent, and to do that in China means throwing gloves in your face." Edward's tone was calm, of course this was made up, but for now it was necessary to beat the arrogance of the other party, otherwise this could not be discussed, and it would become a unilateral surrender.
"You?!"
"Get out, I'll send someone to deliver you. The Polo Park neighborhood is not very safe. ”
"Do you know what you're doing?"
"Of course, but you're not sure what you're doing. Dear Lady Vanessa, come here late at night and say a few harsh words just to make me surrender and put victory on my head and kneel in front of you? Do you think I'm a book in World War II? Of course you can think so, but let me look at your atomic bomb first? "Talking about the sight of the place where it shouldn't be - well, there are two atomic bombs, and they both seem to be called fat people......
"Well, D-cup," he thought to himself.
Vanessa laughed, "It didn't disappoint me. Let's start over, I did come on behalf of the Senators, and I hope you stop. If things get bigger, it's not good for you or for the United States. It will only make other people look at the joke. ”
"Yes, I am also patriotic, I can also talk. Would you like some whiskey? ”
"Okay, but I'm going to add some soda."
"Okay, ma'am, wait a minute. Yes, ice cubes? ”
"Four pieces, thank you......" Vanessa took the wine glass and didn't drink it, and muttered for a while, "What are you going to do next?" ”
"Do it according to the market?"
Edward passed the glass over and continued
"Don't stare at me like that. Listen to me, this time it was Wall Street who didn't go first, they broke the rules! ”
Robinhood abides by the SEC's rules. You can question the reasonableness of the rules, and you can present your ideas to the local congressman's office, and they will bring your ideas to Washington for discussion, and you have to believe in the system of the United States - we have always been wrong on paper, and we are actively improving" Vanessa immediately fought back, not an inch back.
"Forget it, my beautiful lady, if I understand correctly, your wisdom should be above your beauty, and what you said just now is obviously a slap in the face...... It makes me feel sorry, not for me but for you ......"
"Don't talk to me about the law" Edward was a little impatient, on the one hand, he was really annoyed by the other party's tone, full of the rigidity and condescension of the abbess's mother.
On the other hand, uh...... Now the dantian is getting hotter and hotter - after all, the pill is particularly isolated, and this time it is an overdose, he has to quickly send the person away, and then put out the fire, it is a good thing, for men to be tough can bring many benefits, but a long period of stiffness can lead to a large number of male diseases.
"If you really want to talk about the law, you can use the police and the National Guard to solve the problem! But why not? Because you yourselves are weak in heart! Edward hit the nail on the head, "Don't tell me, you don't know about the 'Daley Bulldozer', and even, with your ability, it is very convenient to call some gray power." ”
But he also regretted it a little, after the whiskey thing was eaten, the heat of the dantian was even more serious.
"Niang Xipi, why is the bullshit woman here at this time, hurry up and get out......" He was wailing in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face, except that his eyes were a little red......
It's easy to suppress this state, take a cold shower or have a glass of ice soda, but drinking soda during negotiations will look very unimposing, and the herbivore man will be swallowed by Vanessa without hesitation, and he can only fight for the interests that originally belonged to him if he is stronger than the other party.
This is the country of rice, the red fruit fights.
"My conditions are very simple, Robin Hood is open to normal trading, and then I'll let people fuck off......"
"Impossible, and Mr. Yang, let me remind you, it's not just you who can call people, I'...... Born in Bronsk, three of the five families are entrenched there. ”
"Okay, you can try it. Tony, the weird Tony of the Genoves family, doesn't know where it is yet, and if there is a bunch of guys with Italian accents on Wall Street, you see how the media reports it. By the way, I warn you, yes, I can't call more people in New York. ”
"But don't forget, I can bring in all the Ivy League students if I want to, and by then if your people dare to do it, believe me, the front line of Pravda will change from the convention of Leonid Byenev's speech, and they will hum Christmas songs with big red headlines saying that damned capitalist hooligans beat students without a bottom line."
"Also, the students are from other cities and states, are you going to bring the FBI into it? The FBI has long been dissatisfied with the gangster family here, but it has never found a suitable excuse to intervene. The same is true for the federal inspection system. Believe me, if you let the black suits go to Wall Street, Lord Hoover and Attorney General Mitchell will probably give you a private honor — in recognition of the unprecedented opportunity you have given them to reach out to New York City, and then you will be thrown into federal prison for the rest of your life on charges of accepting bribes from gangsters. I think the senator must have seen that. ”
Edward seemed more and more determined, he judged that Vanessa was indeed here on behalf of Percy, but if Percy really planned to fight hard, there was no need to find a middleman to pass the word, he could have let the New York Police Department go out, as long as the other party appeared at the door with a search warrant and didn't even need to enter the door, it was the best ultimatum.
But Percy didn't do that, which proves that the other side doesn't want to make a big deal out of it.
Since the other party has their own considerations, I don't know what it is, but this shows that everyone can talk about it.
"Mr. Yang, you have obviously forgotten that I am a New York municipal senator, yes, you are a student at Yale Law School, and you have a good relationship with Ms. Rushberg, but I want to remind you that I know more about the relevant laws in New York than you do!"
This is the truth, the reason why the United States is known as the kingdom of lawyers, is that the federal and local laws have their own opinions, and it is difficult for non-professionals to figure it out, among which New York City is the most complicated, and all kinds of strange laws left over from history are still full of vitality.
A surprise can be given by accident, no wonder tens of millions of people can support 100,000 lawyers.
Vanessa does have the ability to do things, and within the limits of the law, she can make big waves and make sure that she gets out of the way.
"What? Are you going to use legal weapons to teach me how to be a human being? Edward smiled.
"New York is a city that speaks of the law, and for those who incite riots, constitutional amendments will not save them!"
"Okay, you wait." Edward ran upstairs and came down a moment later.
casually threw out a small card, and by coincidence, it hit her chest and bounced a few times.
Vanessa didn't care, and picked up the card, "Legal Counsel of the Civil Liberties Union?" At this moment, her face became very ugly.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is a non-profit organization founded in 1920 that serves as its organizing principle "to defend and defend the laws of the United States that guarantee the individual rights and freedoms of every person in this country."
The organization itself claims to be non-partisan, which means that it is criticized by both liberals and conservatives.
But in turn, it is supported and protected by both parties.
