Chapter 36: An Invitation from Power
In fact, Wen Fei has always believed that the Quanzhen Sect, at least the early Quanzhen Sect, cannot be regarded as a pure Taoist sect.
In cultivation, I don't know the sun and the moon. Three days passed, and Abel and a few believers were praying under a symbol.
This is the word "Tian" in an oracle bone inscription, which represents Wen Fei's storage zĂ i. In order to preach smoothly in modern times, Wen Fei did not even erect a statue of the god. It's just that this heavenly character is used to replace the existence of this supreme deity.
Then, in a flash of light, Wen Fei walked out. He waved his hand and said, "There is no need to salute, anything can be said now! Is it a missionary matter, it is ready?"
Standing in front of Wenfei were Able, Kirkel, and Tom. Two saints, and Abel as the leader. But they saluted respectfully before they stood up.
"Not yet, my lord!" said Abel as he stepped forward, "we are ready and waiting for you!
"Oh, what kind of important person?" Wen Fei asked.
"Mr. Webb, is a promising senator. What's more, he's one of the dominant clubs!" Abel said.
"Ruling the club?" just listen to the name, and you can almost know the ambition and strength of this club.
"Yes, I'm one of them. But unlike me, he's at the heart of the club. And I'm just on the edge!" Abel said without mince words.
Wen Fei nodded, knowing very well the situation in Able. In fact, these former directors of the Foundation, the current apostles. Although they are all big shots, they are not the most core kind of people.
For example, Abel has so much enthusiasm to do something "incredible", and you can imagine how much time and energy he has to grab more wealth and power. In fact, Able's fortune was more inherited from the family.
"Then meet him. "Wen Fei doesn't matter.
In a moment there was a tall man. Accompanied by Tom, he strode over. He stretched out his hand and laughed, "Mr. Kirkel, Mr. Abel is honored to meet you!"
Abel took a step back and revealed Wen Fei: "This is Mr. Wen, a great sage from the east. This is Senator Mr. Webb. â
In fact. The Abel people had already clearly told Wen Fei that this Mr. Weber was not small. He even has a deep relationship with the current government, and at the same time he is a member of a large political family.
If the believers that Master Wen saw last time could be said to be the elite of the upper class. So this Mr. Webb. In fact, it can be said that he is an aristocrat!
"Welcome, Mr. Wen Fei!" Weber didn't need to introduce, he directly stretched out a big hand, and actually said to Wen Fei in Chinese.
Wen Fei didn't feel surprised at all, although Lao Mi often gave people the impression of being arrogant and ignorant. Or rather, they have been in a powerful atmosphere for too long, and they have regarded rice as the center of the world, so that they are not interested in other places.
But for these real elites, it is necessary to always open their eyes to the world. And now China. It is a behemoth that definitely deserves their attention, and even has to pay attention to. Naturally, we have to find a way to understand, and to understand a country, we often start with language.
"Thank you!" Wen Fei said simply, but did not shake hands with Weber, and walked in first. A demeanor that looks like no one else.
Webb was stunned. I saw Tom stand in front of him with a smile on his face, and said, "Mr. Webb, I don't think your heart is too good, right?"
Weber, who listened to this nonsense, was stunned for a moment, but soon showed a hint of joy. Said: "Yes, yes......"
Today's events are clear. Mr. Weber understood very well what Master Wen was going to do today. And he was skeptical, but because of his own health.
Therefore, for the recent rumors in a small circle, such a godly church came to the door and asked for cooperation, and did not refuse. That's why we have today's reception!
In fact, the current expressions of both sides are just acting. Everyone agrees that they know it. And Webber is most concerned about his own body, his heart disease has just been operated on, but it is not too successful.
Unlike most Chinese people, most foreigners are actually theists. The kind of science that is only scientific is the same as materialism. It has never been the mainstream view in these countries.
Webb was not in the same position, so he was exposed to different information. The church is low-key, but the lot of information that Mr. Webb has received shows that many miracles have happened.
At the very least, it made him doubtful of these examples.
"Well, then, you're all right!" said Tom.
"What? What did you say?" Webber was stunned, not at all.
Tom smiled a mocking and mysterious smile, "I mean, your body can't be healthier anymore. You can contact your personal doctor and ask him to check your body for you!"
"Hell, I mean...... Webb's mind was really confused. He stroked his chest vigorously, and it seemed that his heart was beating very strongly, and the feeling of panic and shortness of breath seemed to be gone. How could this be? His head was already dizzy.
"Sorry...... I need to calm down!" Webb said, hurrying to the side and starting to make a call, apparently to the doctor.
But halfway through the call, he hung up the phone and walked back: "Thank you, Mr. Wen." I haven't had a check-up yet, but I can already feel that I'm very healthy now!"
Wen Fei said lightly: "It's nothing, it's just a small transaction!"
Weber tasted this sentence and laughed: "Mr. Wen is doing well, this is a business, from now on, I think Mr. Wen can also join the ruling club!"
Mr. Wen's eyebrows moved, and now Wen Fei began to slowly understand the most secret side of the power and wealth of the United States. In their constitution, there was always a power of secret society.
In other countries of the world, the power of association is often expressed as a political party. In this country, however, many secret societies have sprung up according to tradition. Whether it is those famous stonemasons, skeletons, or those unknown existences. For example, the Magic Stone Club came about like this.
The essence of holding is to protect the power of the rich, and no matter how delicious and beautiful the cloak is, this essence cannot be broken.
In fact, the founder of the country, the dragon and phoenix among those people, understood this truth best. And play it with great fascination.
Wen Fei started from a simple analysis, there are two idioms called a plate of loose sand, a rabble, which has explained this problem most clearly.
One person's power is limited, and if you want to make your voice heard in this world, you have to organize, and countless people speak with one voice. This is the only way to have its own voice in this crowded world.
The larger the number of people, the more difficult it is to organize. Hundreds of millions of ordinary people, or a handful of elite billionaires, it is easy to organize which of the two is easy to organize, it is simply clear at a glance.
In a country like Lao Mi, it is nothing more than a small number of elites who adopt various means of association, hide behind the majority of ordinary people, and manipulate them to make their voices heard.
It is very difficult for ordinary people to truly and effectively organize themselves and fight for their own interests. Then again, if you are really organized, you will immediately divide into classes...... There are few people who will be selfless and truly serve others!
In the opposite example, the founding elites put together a supreme council as the supreme power structure. From a legal point of view, it is simply the most depressing, and in other countries, the head of state can dissolve the parliament. Here, juridically speaking, the Supreme Council has the highest power and cannot be dissolved by outsiders.
It can even be said that it has the power to dissolve the organization. Derogatory, of course.
But in practice, what about the actual situation? The elites who founded the country understood this very well, so they made the most extensive selection, and made the number of two or three thousand people.
Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows that no matter what kind of meeting is held, the greater the number of people, the lower the efficiency. Unless it's a slap machine.
From this alone, it can be seen that the more extensive the holding, the less it is held. No matter what kind of political method is adopted, it is actually just feeding the monkeys. Morning 3 and 4 and 4 ......
And all kinds of secret societies are the places where the elite and rich people behind the scenes unite to manipulate wealth and politics. And not on Capitol Hill, not in the White House.
The club that Webb was talking about is such a place. Such a circle of elite plutocrats manipulating wealth and power.
To squeeze into this circle, it's not enough to just have money. It is necessary to get the consent of the people inside the circle, at least more than half of the people, to enter it.
"That's great!" Abel was a little excited, this is the real elite class of Lao Mi, no, it should be said that it is the aristocratic class.
In the original foundation, although there are also some big people and rich people, they are still relatively marginal.
Although Abel is also a member of this club, otherwise it would not be possible to catch Webb's line.
