0686 [Gathering of Big Guys]
"Bang Bang!"
In Polygram Records, Yan Xiong looked at the Wall Street Journal on the table and slapped himself in the mouth.
"Bang Bang!"
Yan Xiong almost slapped his face swollen, "I'm really damned!" Why don't you believe in Godfather's cards? Only invest 500 Hong Kong dollars, if you invest 50 million, is it underdeveloped? β
Yan Xiong regretted not being at the beginning, why he didn't have a firm belief in Du Yongxiao, but just bought 5 million Hong Kong dollars, equivalent to 700,000 US dollars of Coca-Cola stocks.
Such a rare opportunity to make a fortune, but it was missed by yourself, it's really damned.
Just when Yan Xiong hated himself to death-
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" Yan Xiong didn't have a good airway.
Crunch!
The office door opens.
Mike Jackson came in from outside, still carrying a gift in his hand, but a bottle of red wine.
Yan Xiong glanced at him, rubbed his face with his hand and said, "I thought you wouldn't come." β
"Why?" Mike asked, putting the red wine on the table.
"You've made a fortune! 600,000 has doubled, at least more than 1 million dollars, what are you doing here when you have money? Yan Xiong started to tidy up the table.
Mike smiled: "I'm afraid of liquidated damages, okay?" β
Yan Xiong glanced at Mike and said, "Mr. Du's vision is really right, and those he likes are basically talents." β
"Thank you for the compliment, this bottle of red wine for you!" Mike gestured to the red wine on the table.
"Wow, so kind? It's still Bordeaux! Yan Xiong picked up the red wine and looked at it, and said, "Do you want to have a drink?" β
"Absolutely."
"No, no, I'm in a bad mood."
"Why not?"
"No why." Yan Xiong will not say that he has invested too little.
Gurgle!
After pouring two glasses of wine, Yan Xiong handed over a glass.
Mike took it.
"Cheers!"
The two clink glasses.
After drinking a glass of wine, Yan Xiongcai said: "Then from today onwards, welcome to join Polygram!" β
Yan Xiong stretched out his hand.
Mike, hold it.
β¦β¦
FBI Headquarters.
"Now it's obvious that James, the chief adviser to the White House, has made it all out of it, and although he keeps saying that this matter has nothing to do with the president, and the president doesn't know about it beforehand, butβ"
Director George stood on the podium, whipping the whiteboard with his whip in his hand, "What the truth is, only he knows." β
"As for now, the next thing we have to do is knock on the mountain and disrupt the formation over there! Who wants to go out? β
"Me!"
"I'm coming!"
Everyone raised their hands one after another, wanting to take this rare credit into their hands.
Director George smiled, looked at Du Yongxiao, who was not moving at all, and said, "Agent Du, what do you think?" β
Du Yongxiao didn't want to wade into the muddy water anymore, so he said: "Since everyone is so enthusiastic and active, let them go!" β
"Good!" Director George admires Du Yongxiao's belly, he is not impatient, he does not take credit, and he is energetic when he has difficulties.
"So now I declareβ"
Director George began to line up his troops.
Du Yongxiao listened quietly, he clearly knew that the White House would hold out for another half a year at most, and in August, President Nixon would resign voluntarily because of this matter.
So what he has to do now is not to compete with these short-sighted guys for credit, but to lay out how to get the most out of Nixon's resignation.
Du Yongxiao's fingers turned the ballpoint pen, and his brain began to run rapidly.
Now he is making a fortune of 100 million US dollars by speculating on Coca-Cola stocks, and it is a pity that this money is deposited in the bank, and he does not eat much interest, so it is better to gamble again.
Bet on whether Nixon will step down.
Judging from the current situation, many people believe that the "Watergate scandal" will not be a fatal blow to the current president.
To be precise, in June 1972, when the Watergate break-in broke out, Nixon's popularity miraculously reached its peak. In order to defeat Democratic presidential candidate George McGovern, Nixon no longer needed useful or useless political intelligence.
Moreover, anyone in Washington who knows the inside story knows that the Democratic National Committee is nothing more than an empty shelf, and useful political intelligence can be found in the presidential candidates' offices. In that case, why did McCord and others break into the Watergate Building Democratic headquarters at this moment to install bugs?
Many people believe that this has something to do with Nixon's character. "He saw life as a battlefield and was convinced that everywhere in the United States there were enemies bent on destroying him"; "He saw every major event in his political career as a crisis, in which he was always surrounded by enemies."
Nixon was suspicious by nature, and even Kissinger said, "We all know that Nixon was born not to trust people completely." To deal with his political opponents, Nixon could ignore the law and do whatever he wanted.
As Bill Galli noted, "Nixon was a man with a strong competitive spirit. "Even though he was pretty sure about beating McGovern at the time. But, in his view, such a victory would not be complete unless he could overcome the Kennedy brothers, whom he "hated, feared, and admired."
Nixon's subordinates were also clear about this. Against this backdrop, it seems not surprising that Nixon's re-election committee and White House members devised a comprehensive plan to sabotage the Democratic race, one of the main elements of which was to break into the office of O'Brien, chairman of the Democratic National Committee and a close confidant of the Kennedy family, at the Watergate Building and install bugging.
It can be said that not only does the president think that his country is still solid, but even his rival Democratic Party has no confidence that he can force Nixon to resign.
However, Du Yongxiao is going to take out this 100 million US dollars to gamble-ββ
August
Nixon step down!
β¦β¦
That evening, the MGM Grand Hotel.
"Carter, you're so ruthless, you actually chartered this hotel tonight."
The man who spoke was well-dressed, but he was a good friend of Carter's and a Democratic Senator Simon.
Carter glanced at Simon and said with a smile: "I don't have that much ability, and it costs a lot of money to charter this hotel!" β
"Uh, who's that? What do you mean by inviting everyone in the Democratic Party over to dinner tonight? Simon wondered.
"I just wanted to introduce you to someone."
"Introduce someone, who?"
"You'll find out later." Carter pretended to be mysterious and looked at his watch, "It's almost time, let's go to the banquet hall first." β
"Uh, okay!" Simon looked confused.
Simon accompanies Carter to open the ballroom door-ββ
Crunch!
Inside the gate, there are all well-dressed Democratic bigwigs, including Nixon's opponent McGovern, as well as the famous Bush family and the Kennedy family in the United States.
Seeing Carter come in, these bigwigs just turned their heads to look at it, then ignored it, and toasted and talked separately, with a proud posture.
