Chapter 366 The old fox who gave up when faced with difficulties
“Speaker Nanxi, whether this bill will shake the foundation of our United States is not up to you, it’s up to the entire Congress. !”
Although Nan Xi is the Speaker of the House of Representatives and has a strong interference power in the House, this bill will definitely be passed as long as it gets 218 votes in the House of Representatives, and now he is eating There are so many congressmen living there, so there is no need to be too afraid of each other.
“Do you know what you are talking about!”
Nan Xi has been in American politics for decades. Let alone ordinary people, even high-ranking officials such as the President, Vice President, and Secretary of State are in front of him. You have to be nice and angry.
But now, being yelled at by a young boy like David in front of her face naturally made her quite angry.
“As far as I know, you announced more than a week ago that you will not run for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, nor will you hold any position in Congress. Since you have chosen to quit, you will be safe and sound. It’s good to retire safely, why bother to take this trip?”
“What if I have to take a trip?”
That’s right, because of my old age and various reasons. , Nan Xi indeed announced more than a week ago that he would not run for Speaker of the House of Representatives again.
But even if he doesn't run for election, with her strong character, if she is afraid of a young boy like David, then she won't be called Nancy Galisi!
"Then I will be afraid that you will not be safe in the evening!"
"Haha, I have never been to Loli Island, you can't threaten me!"
David heard this. He was stunned. He knew that some of the previous congressmen must have leaked the bill, but he did not expect that even the Loli Island incident was leaked.
It seems that the people who leaked the bill are probably the congressmen who have been to Loli Island!
Looking at David's dazed expression, Nan Xi thought that there was nothing the other party could do to her. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and couldn't help but feel proud, but what David said next made her expression freeze.
"You have never been to Loli Island, but your husband is known as the 'Capitol Hill Stock God'. I just don't know if he can withstand our investigation!"
Hearing David's words Nan Xi's smile froze, and she replied with a straight face: "My husband has his own career, and it has been reviewed in many aspects. What else do you want to check?"
"May 28 this year On the same day, your husband had a car accident at an intersection 5 miles away from his home winery. However, when facing the police, your husband spoke slurred, stood unsteadily on his feet, exuded a strong smell of alcohol on his breath, and tried to show the police a certain foundation. membership card, and the subsequent blood alcohol concentration test also proved that your husband was indeed driving drunk at the time, and drugs were even detected in his body..."
"Wait..."
South Xi frowned and interrupted, and said impatiently: "Although my husband was indeed involved in this accident, he was acquitted in the end. You can't make a fuss about it!"
"Yes, you spent a lot of money to hire California's top operations team, including crisis management experts, Keimer who has handled public opinion crises for Harvard University and Nike, the well-connected public relations guru House Jeep, and the most famous barrister in California, Kirk. Well, these people are indeed powerful.”
“However, a week before being summoned by the court, Congress is discussing a ‘chip bill’. According to this bill, the American semiconductor industry will receive 520. A billion-dollar subsidy.”
“What’s interesting is that just before the bill was voted on, your husband bought a large amount of stocks in chip companies such as semiconductor giant Nvidia and made tens of millions of dollars overnight. , I don’t know if I’m right?”
Nan Xi’s husband’s name is Paulo Galisi.
This guy can definitely be considered 'notorious' in the United States. In addition to the drunk driving and insider trading that David mentioned just now, he once killed someone when he was 16 years old because of threatening driving. His own brother.
Of course, the most important thing for this guy to be able to live happily despite his misdeeds is to curry favor with Shang Nanxi, the powerful Speaker of the House of Representatives.
Otherwise, he would have been in prison long ago.
“Haha, these things you mentioned are all well-known things, and they have gone through multiple investigations by the court and hearings, but they can’t prove my husband’s guilt!”
“ But what do you think if I talk to Mr. Monroe Antonio, Howard Archibald, and DuBois Hamilton?”
Nan Xi, who was still looking normal, After hearing these three names, his expression changed instantly.
These three people are executives from chip giants Invista, Intel, and Qualcomm. Of course, this is not the point.
The point is that the chip bill that David mentioned before, the biggest beneficiaries are these three giants.
In return, the three giants sent these three executives to reach a series of exchanges of interests with her before the bill was passed.
And now that David knows about these three contacts at the time, if these three people are taken away for investigation, with David's methods, it is really hard to guarantee whether these three people will Say something.
Thinking of this, the wrinkles between Nan Xi’s eyebrows deepened.
She said how could David be so confident? It turned out that he knew something about the inside story afterwards.
"Okay, Speaker Nan Xi, I have no intention of going against you, but you don't want to interfere with what I do. The best outcome is for us all to stay in peace, what do you think?"< br>
Although Nan Xi announced that she will no longer run for the next Speaker of the House of Representatives, her term is not over yet.
And David now wants to push such a bill in Congress, so it is better to let the other party retreat before the difficulties. There is no need to completely break up with the other party to avoid causing a lot of trouble at that time.
“Humph, David, I finally remembered it today!”
Nan Xi has always had a stern and even aggressive persona in front of the world for so many years, but that persona is just a persona, and most of the time it is just to show it to the public. Don’t really think that she is just a reckless person. Wife.
Having served as Speaker of the House of Representatives in Congress for so many years, her political wisdom can definitely be described as top-notch.
Now that she is about to leave office, political achievements have no meaning at all to her.
The reason why she came to David was just to see if she could deal with David and make the three major groups owe him a big favor.
Unexpectedly, David actually knew some inside information about the chip bill, so after some calculation, she finally decided to stop.
After all, David's methods are extraordinary. If she really wants to continue to entangle him, the other party will make a fuss about the chip bill, and she may not be able to retire peacefully.
"Wait a minute, Speaker Nan Xi..."
Nan Xi, who had just reached the door and wanted to open the door to leave, turned around.
“What I want to know is, how did you know I was here?”
In order to avoid trouble, David kept a low profile during this period and did not reveal anything at all. So he was also curious about how the other party found him.
Nan Xi didn't mean to answer, but gave him a look of contempt, then opened the door and left.
"It seems that she gave up after the difficulties..."
After all, the other party is a politician who has been in the United States for decades, and he also holds an important position like the Speaker of the House of Representatives, so seeing After the other party retreated, Sean finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, by the way, who are the three people you just mentioned?”
“The executives of chip companies like Intel have some interest negotiations with her and her husband.”
"So that's it..."
Shaun said why the other party acted out of character when he heard these three names. So that's it...
But then again, this Nan Xi immediately He was about to resign, and there were some clues that David knew, so if he were the other party, he wouldn't be able to fight with David.
I am about to retire and take care of myself. It is not a matter of life. Who would be willing to risk their lives!
David took out his mobile phone, found Gavin's number and dialed it. The call was quickly connected. He asked, "What's going on? Has my whereabouts been leaked?"
The last assassination incident left a little psychological shadow on him. Now that Nan Xi can know his whereabouts, wouldn't it be dangerous if the Freemasons found out and gave him explosives or killers?
So this problem must be solved first.
“No, according to your instructions, I have been closely monitoring your whereabouts and safety, but I haven’t found anything.”
“ Okay, I’ll ask the CIA.”
David hung up the phone, dialed Elvis' number, and repeated what he had said to Gavin before.
"Whereabouts... We at the CIA have indeed not detected any leaks. What's wrong?"
After thinking about it for a while, Elvis didn't realize what went wrong.
"Just now, Nan Xilai from the House of Representatives found me..."
David told the story of Nan Xilai's arrival.
"I understand, I think... it should be our director who disclosed your information to Nan Xi."
"Your director?"
"Yes, our CIA The director of the Intelligence Department is called Sawyer Holder. He has a close relationship with Nan Xi. If Nan Xi can find you, it should be through him! "
"Then what are you and him about? Relationship? ”
“It’s just a superior and a subordinate, it doesn’t matter much”
"Is that so... Then I will go back to Washington in the next two days and give me his whereabouts then!"
Since the director can reveal his whereabouts to Nan Xi, then David Naturally, we can no longer keep him.
“Okay, I understand.”
CIA, Elvis’s face instantly turned rosy after hearing this in the office.
The last time David asked him to give him a list of personnel deployed by the three major forces, he had actually thought about including the director's name.
It's just that this director is not a member of the three major forces. In the end, after some entanglement, in order to avoid causing David's displeasure, he still held back.
But what I didn’t expect was that Nan Xi actually came forward to find David, and also involved the director of their CIA intelligence department.
In this case, you can’t blame him!
……
Two days later in the evening.
Washington, D.C., in front of Arlington Mansion.
Countless sports cars and luxury cars came to the door one after another, and celebrities from Washington's upper class stepped in with their female companions.
In an inconspicuous corner in the lobby of the mansion, David and others arrived here early.
At this time, they have either become bearded men, or they have become bearded men. In short, each of them is as if they have changed their appearance. They have completely changed their appearance.
"Hey, the CIA's camouflage skills are so strong, I guess my mother won't recognize me here!"
Munson looked at himself on the phone screen and couldn't help but smile.
After they came back from Texas, they received a message from Elvis, saying that Sawyer would come over to attend a charity gala today, so they came over,
In order not to attract attention, Elvis specially asked his disguise personnel to dress up David and his party.
While talking, it seemed that the people at the scene had almost arrived.
At this time, the host of the dinner came to the stage and said: "Thank you all for coming to the charity dinner hosted by Mr. Harrington. Mr. Harrington will not arrive until later due to his busy schedule. Let me say sorry to everyone!”
"But it doesn't matter, the charity auction will still be held as usual."
"Mr. Harrington will select 50 exquisite items from his collection for auction, and then donate them to the flood victims in Georgia. People!”
When the host finished speaking, thunderous applause erupted instantly.
After a while, the applause gradually dissipated.
A staff member brought up a blue and white porcelain vase and placed it in the most conspicuous position in the central area.
"This is an official kiln collection produced in the Qing Dynasty of China. The starting price is now US$500,000. Each increase in price must not be less than US$50,000. The bidding starts now!"
The host gave the crowd below The celebrities introduced the vase's year information in detail, and then the bidding began.
“500,000!”
“600,000!”
“800,000!”
"..."
As the host finished speaking, the celebrities present began to bid.
It didn’t take long.
This collection was raised to a high price of 2 million US dollars.
This also made Munson, who was watching in secret, sigh: "These damn rich people are really generous..."
"Haha, taking a photo of this collection will not only make a big splash in front of celebrities, but also gain a good impression in front of the media by donating disaster relief. Why not do it for them!"
" You think, if we arrest all the people here and interrogate them one by one, can we squeeze out some 'oil and water'?"
Manson and Larin looked startled by Jerry's words. .
Not to mention, this is a really good idea.
At best, these people are celebrities from Washington's upper class society, but at worst, they are not just a group of capitalists.
How can any capitalist be clean?
If they are really found out on the charge of tax evasion, then it will be accurate to check them all!
"Don't think about these things here. This is not what we came here for today."
David was a little confused. According to the information Elvis gave him, his The director should be here, but why hasn't he arrived yet?
“Deal, congratulations Mr. LeBron!”
While a few people were talking and the host on stage shouted, the transaction for the first collection was completed.
