American Fortune Life

"I didn't expect that your proposal of 'buy American products' could be so easy to use, and the effect it received is simply surprising..."

One is small, but the decoration is in the cold Nordic style. Apart from being neat and simple, the wooden chairs with round legs and the exposed brick walls add a bit of Greek style. In the restaurant named Komi, Oston and Andy are sitting opposite each other. While tasting Michelin-level molecular cuisine, they chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

The restaurant was originally small, with only six tables, and the rest of the seats had already been occupied by the bodyguards brought by the two, which could be regarded as an alternative private room, so the conversation between Andy and Oston was more casual.

"I read the reports that a recently passed bill contains clauses similar to "Buy American", which has aroused strong concerns and dissatisfaction among the people in the foot basin..." Andy put a small piece of beef into his mouth and chewed He smiled and looked at Oston who was opposite.

Alston pursed his lips indifferently, took a sip from his red wine glass, and said with a satisfied face: "The Energy and Water Resources Development Appropriation Act stipulates that the funds in the bill must not be used to purchase companies other than the Big Three in the United States. I didn't expect it to be easily passed by the House of Representatives, and I also got the "friendship" of the three major car companies. Haha, what's interesting is that the representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Commerce in the foot basin have already made an appointment, and they seem to be ready to lobby me, hoping that I Repeal this "Buy American"-style provision before sending the bill to the Senate."

"Hehe..." Andy looked at the smug look flashed by his cheap father, and couldn't help shaking his head and chuckling, "People in the foot basin have always been very generous for their own interests."

Hearing the jokes in his son's words, Auston couldn't help but sneered: "Compared with the votes, what they can give is rubbish."

"What's more, you have the son of the world's richest man, not short of money, right?" Andy teased, raising his eyebrows.

Auston glared at Andy unhappily, but he didn't deny it. Instead, he cut the juicy beef on a white porcelain plate with a knife and fork, and said lightly: "I'm going to run for senator next year, I hope Damn the New York State Senator!"

Andy frowned slightly, looked at Alston who was holding a shiny fork, and put the beef into his mouth, and asked with some uncertainty: "Is it a little too hasty, after all, you have only been a member of the House of Representatives for two years , so anxious to participate in the scramble for the seat of the senator, the background..."

"Intelligence? Are you kidding? The most important thing is the insufficiency!" Oston glanced at Andy, the corner of his mouth raised, and continued with a smile: "In the past two years, I believe that as long as I don't Blind people, you can see that in the past, Xipo held on to the New York Senator tightly, but now that she has become the Secretary of State, she has to let go of her fingers and appoint a successor. I will not let go of this good opportunity. Moreover, the elephant party has reached a consensus to help me sprint with all my strength!"

"Well, the two-year senator's power span is indeed a bit large, but it's not a problem." Andy squinted his eyes slightly, with sharp eyes flickering, "After the birth of little Joseph, I haven't held a party to celebrate it. , After a while, I plan to hold a party in New York, and when the time comes, invite more friends from Wall Street."

"Hehe." Alston nodded with a gratified smile.

Everyone knows that when Ao Guanhai ran for president, he received strong support from Wall Street bankers, both in terms of money and public opinion. However, since he entered the White House, Ao Guanhai Just as Wall Street gradually alienated and even broke, Wall Street also took a deep breath, preparing to teach the Donkey Party represented by Ao Guanhai a profound lesson in the mid-term elections, and increase support for the Xiang Party, which was previously on the street, in order to achieve the goal of anti-corruption. The checks and balances of Aoguanhai and the donkey party are hindered.

And Andy just wants to let Orston enter the support list of everyone on Wall Street through the party. This is an excellent opportunity. Perhaps in the multi-party struggle, his father will really be cheaper, maybe.

"Recently, Mr. President, it can be said that I have been a little bit burnt out,

Not only was he involved in the quagmire of racial discrimination, but the issue of his origin was heated up again. Amidst the opposition, he also wanted to promote the reform of medical insurance. . . "

Auston shook his head with a sneer and sighed, but soon the sneer turned into a joking joke to his son: "Your future father-in-law is really a character, insisting that Ao Guanhai's background is not good enough." Let it go, go there and talk about it, it's really... Hahaha."

"Ahem..." Hearing the cheerful laughter of his cheap father, Andy was really depressed, coughed twice, shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no way, he is so straightforward, besides, There are indeed doubts. After all, the relevant documents were lost in 2001. His long form birth certificate no longer exists. The key problem is that the White House has repeatedly denied and refuted it, that is, he did not show his original birth record (also known as the "long form" birth certificate) The photocopies of it would have proved that the suspicion of the American people is also the problem of the White House."

No matter how unreliable CP is, he is also Andy's future father-in-law. Naturally, he will not complain. Besides, CP is holding on to Aoguanhai's birth certificate. proof, why not prove it? That in itself is a big question mark.

"Hehe, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he was born in the United States or not. The key is that his whole-hearted promotion of medical reform has caused him all these troubles. However, you should also remind your father-in-law not to follow along , To put it bluntly, it is still a conflict of interests, no one cares whether the birth certificate of Mr. President is true or not. CP's persistent complaints about Ao Guanhai will inevitably attract revenge from the White House."

Auston also shook his head dumbfoundingly about his big-mouthed future in-laws, and instructed Andy with a slight warning in the reminder.

"I can't control what he says." Andy shrugged his shoulders indifferently. Whoever regards CP as a bastard who can only run the train with his mouth full, then who is a bastard, use controversy to increase exposure, use exposure This is the marketing method of CP, and Andy won't take care of it, and he can't take care of it. If he could take care of it, Ivana would have taken care of it a long time ago!

"Dad, if you want to run for the Senate seat in New York, don't tell me, my father-in-law is a good campaign support, and he still has some influence in the middle and lower classes in New York."

Alston frowned slightly and nodded. He didn't look down on CP. Although CP did have a lot of problems, as a successful billionaire entrepreneur, how could he be a bastard? Although he can joke a few words behind his back , but he will never underestimate CP, not to mention that his daughter is already his daughter-in-law. Auston still recognizes Ivana's excellence. Being able to educate such an excellent daughter shows that many problems.

"I'll talk to him." Oston would naturally not choose to ignore any help, nodded and said, then looked at Andy and asked: "This time, Aoguanhai's plan to promote the reform of the health care system has been met by all parties. Criticism, he invited the executives and presidents of the Big Four companies to the White House for lunch, he will definitely mention it and ask for support, you have to pay attention to the wording."

"Hehe, I won't be there. I don't lack his White House lunch that he paid out of his own pocket. I've asked Howard Schultz to attend. This time I'm in Washington. I'll only attend the welcome dinner for Chinese guests and some Chinese Friends, let's meet and chat." Andy said with a hint of sarcasm, curling the corner of his mouth.

The corners of Auston's mouth couldn't help twitching, with a strange expression on his face. Everyone knows the specifications of the Celestial Dynasty team that came to Washington this time, but listening to his son's tone, it's almost 13 bullshit. Friends from the Celestial Dynasty met and chatted', it really made him feel ashamed as an old man, and he felt that his status as a member of the House of Representatives was a bit shabby, after all, he wanted to use his status as a member of the House of Representatives to meet visitors from the Celestial Dynasty , can't do it. . .

In the atmosphere suddenly becoming a bit resentful and cheap dad's face is not very good-looking, after lunch, and parted ways, Andy drove to the headquarters building of the "Washington Post", which is about 4 blocks north of the White House. Some time ago , Donald Graham, chairman and CEO of The Washington Post Company, and him have been inviting Andy to visit the Washington Post headquarters through many phone calls. This time, when he came to Washington, Andy also readily accepted the invitation. I want to find out what kind of medicine is sold in this Mr. Graham's gourd, and whether it is what he guessed in his mind.
