Society owes me a brother

Early the next morning, Lu Chi took Mark, Tom and Jack, the website managers of First Financing, and several lawyers from the legal team, on Eric Weiss' plane and flew directly to Washington.

However, Lu Chi didn't rely heavily on Eric Weiss' contacts-go directly to meet those congressmen who Eric made friends with.

During the video call with Yue Bin last night, the two also discussed this matter.Yue Bin had the same idea as Eric Weiss, and also thought that flying to Washington this time was a good opportunity to contact members of Congress and see if there was anyone worth making friends with.

If you contact those congressmen with this purpose, it is obviously not good to let Eric Weiss get involved.Because people's first subjective impression is very important.If Lu Chi and Eric Weiss appeared in front of those congressmen together.According to ordinary people's thinking patterns, everyone is likely to regard Lu Chi and Eric Weiss as being in the same camp.Such an impression is obviously not suitable for what Lu Chi will do next.

On the other hand, Eric Weiss has been famous on Wall Street for many years, and his connections in Congress may also be well-rooted.From the point of view of common sense, generally big and deep-rooted political animals will have their own opponents or natural enemies.If Lu Chi relies heavily on Eric Weiss' contacts to lobby Congress, it is likely to cause the following situation-some originally neutral people continue to be neutral, while other natural enemies or opponents will oppose for the sake of opposition.

In this way, it is obviously not in line with the interests and goals of the first financing.

Therefore, considering the above, the most suitable method for Lu Zhi and the first financing is to fly to Washington in Eric Weiss's private jet, and then contact the lobbying members of Congress individually.In this way, Lu Chi and the first financing not only showed their deep personal relationship with Eric Weiss, but also showed their business-like attitude.Then in the next lobbying process, the congressmen who have contacted Lu Zhi only need to briefly consider whether they support the proposal of the first financing to amend the legislation, and whether they are willing to show their friendly attitude to Lu Chi, a new Wall Street boss. Attitude will do.

Of course, there is another benefit that is not enough to be publicized-those congressmen who want to win over Lu Chi and lobby Lu Chi to donate political donations can also show their advantages in front of Lu Chi without any scruples.

This long speech is something that Lu Chi, a commoner, has never thought about—although he already has a pivotal position in the international financial market, and his trading methods have also attracted the admiration and admiration of his colleagues around the world, but Lu Chi's consciousness at other levels is obviously tending towards downwind.

The thinking similar to this kind of capital-driven legislation was definitely not available in the previous Lu Chi.Not to mention the step-by-step thought of one, two, three, four when contacting members of Congress.This unprecedented experience is like a primary school student who has never learned English before taking the English test for the college entrance examination. Maybe the test score does not mean the whole life, but it will definitely affect a person's future. development trajectory.

What a headache!

I don't understand the trepidation of the boss, a capital tycoon, in the face of Congress-in fact, Wall Street brokers have long been accustomed to the concept that Congress serves capital.Mr. Mark, the manager of the investment department of Leap Deer Fund, knocked on the door of Lu Chi's guest room very understandingly, and handed a thick stack of documents to the boss of Lu Da. A comprehensive survey of the current 535 members of Congress. Apart from the spokespersons supported by major forces, the information of members who have potential, ability, and political ideas are relatively young and innovative. I think we can start with this part People began to lobby. You can take this opportunity to investigate whether there are any potential allies who share the same goals with the boss among these young congressmen. When we have successfully persuaded this part of neutrals, we can contact Mr. Eric Weiss, the Locke family, and even It is the object supported by other Wall Street capital that you have cooperated with the boss before."

"I believe these people will at least not embarrass the proposal proposed by the first financing based on their previous cooperation."

Lu Chi took a deep breath and let it out again.He subconsciously rubbed his temples with his hands, showing a more troubled look than shorting the real estate market of country M—under the circumstance that the whole world felt incredible, disbelieved and even lashed out. He reached out and took Mark to prepare Alright file, open—

He saw that the congressman's profile on the first page turned out to be Adolf Stephenson.

Noticing the boss's slight blankness, Mr. Mark pushed his glasses with a smile on his face.The lens reflects a ray of light under the refraction of the light.

"Speaking of which, Congressman Stephenson has some connections with the boss. When he was the Attorney General of California, he once initiated an inquiry with you. As a result, you directly calculated that ST's communication accounts were fraudulent in his office..."

This is also a coquettish operation admired by Wall Street and even the global financial community, so that when Manager Mark mentioned this incident, his eyes gleamed uncontrollably, and his enthusiastic admiration could not be blocked even by the reflective rimless glasses.

"So your suggestion is...we can get in touch with this Stephenson first?"

The admiration on his face froze for a moment, and Mr. Mark, the manager of the investment department of Leap Deer Fund, once again saw his boss's dull political sense, and explained helplessly: "Boss, the Stephenson family is A veteran political family in country M, their family occupies a total of three members of Congress. In addition, their family members also hold positions in important systems of major states in country M. I personally think that this Mr. Stephenson Maybe there is value in being attracted, but his family background may not agree with the interests of the Leap Deer Fund. Personally, I still prefer to choose some new MPs with a clean family background, self-made, but a good image, and have a sense of innovation and innovation .”

The words are so euphemistic, in other words, the meaning of Manager Mark can be roughly translated as "Boss, I think Stephenson has deep roots, and our Leap Deer Fund may not be able to hold it, or we should find some poor but passionate people." Poor boy?"

After this conversation, Lu Chi knew that he probably didn't have any talent in this kind of thing.He simply withheld all the information, smiled at Mark and said: "I think you are well prepared. How about it, if you have any ideas, you can express them, and I will focus on your suggestions."

Manager Mark nodded unsurprisingly, and then took out a document and handed it to Lu Chi: "This is the strategy list that I drafted after discussing with Tom, Jack, and several lawyers. We are going to follow the list Let’s visit one by one in order, boss, see if you are with us, or after you have a little clue, you will come forward to lobby.”

These two methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.If Lu Chi chooses to act together with everyone, then he can observe the congressmen closely while everyone is lobbying Congress, determine who he can win or support, and know himself and the enemy, but doing so will inevitably consume a lot of time and energy, and may affect Let’s talk about Lu Chi’s control over the stock market; if Lu Chi chooses to let everyone contact members of Congress first, and then come forward when things need to be decided, it will save a lot of time and energy, but it will also create some emotional distance. It may cause some obstacles to the Yuelu Fund's solicitation plan.

After all, even in country M, talented, ambitious and capable people are very respected by corporals.

Listening to Mr. Mark's detailed and patient analysis, Lu Chi felt that this was indeed an extremely troublesome matter—more troublesome than his concentrating on shorting two international-level groups at the same time.

"Let me think about it." After pondering for a moment, Lu Chiru dismissed his confidant Mr. Mark.Immediately sent a video request to Yue Bin who was far away in China.

Yue Bin, who was busy preparing for everyone's wedding and getting honeymoon inspiration by the way, realized that his Lu Chi was really confused and embarrassed. After thinking about it, he said, "I think we can make a compromise. When we first contacted the councilor, you also You can follow along, let’s talk about the proposal and then talk about the ideal life and so on. Afterwards, when it comes to specific matters and specific procedures, the people below can take full responsibility. How about this, you guys try to set the meeting time for tomorrow night or the day after tomorrow , I will catch the nearest flight to meet you. I will take care of the specific matters. This way, it won’t appear to treat them slowly.”

Hearing this, Lu Chi frowned even more embarrassingly: "But don't you have to stay at home to help?"

"My wedding was organized by the parents of the two families. It's almost done now, and I'm just waiting for the day. I'm just here to help out and run errands. Even if I don't have me, I won't delay the business Son. You are in a hurry. That's all right, that's the deal."

Yue Bin Gan Gang was categorical and resolute, and sure enough, he packed his luggage and ordered a plane ticket immediately after hanging up the video.

Knowing that her son will come to work overtime on a whim, although Mother Yue is reluctant to part with her son, she also knows that she can't delay the business.I can only tell my son to come back at the wedding, don't forget, and remember to bring Lu Chi back.

Yue Bin grinningly agreed, coaxing Yue's mother stickyly, while vigorously urging the driver to go to the airport, and there was no sign of reluctance from the hurried back.

Mother Yue looked very upset.

On the other side, Lu Chi, who learned that Yue Bin was about to fly to Washington, also rushed to the airport to pick him up.After half a year's absence, the two reunited again, but there was no pink bubble like a newlywed.On the way back from the airport, Yue Bin opened up the documents and looked them up. Listening to Mark's introduction, he quickly decided on the first person to visit.

But I didn't expect that when we met, I would meet another unexpected person.
