Society owes me a brother

The next day, Lu Chi accompanied the two families to visit Disneyland.Yue Bin, the only one who failed to participate in this family fun, hid in Washington and cried like a storm. After crying, he had to bring Mark and a team of lawyers with an hourly salary of 2000 yuan to negotiate specific terms with members of Congress, the White House and the Trade Committee. My heart is really tired.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long.About a week or so later, Lu Heng finished his vacation and started filming. Lu's father and mother wanted to take Miao Miao and the new in-laws to visit other places in M ​​country. They were worried that Lu Chi would delay work if he stayed with him like this, so they simply opened their mouths to push them away. .

Lu Chi couldn't resist his parents, and he was really concerned about the situation in Wall Street and Washington, so he had to agree. Originally, he wanted to arrange a very careful tour guide and driver to take his parents and girls to play together, but was rejected by Wei Linxuan who was eager to try. .

"Brother, don't worry. There is absolutely no accident with me, I will take good care of our parents and sisters."

The man who was newly promoted as the son-in-law of the Lu family stood in front of the eldest brother, patted his chest to make a promise, and Lu Chi felt embarrassed and didn't believe it when he saw it.Coupled with the fact that Wei's father and Wei's mother were also helping to cover up, Lu's father and Lu's mother also expressed their confidence in their son-in-law's ability.In the case of voting N to 1, Lu Chi could only obey everyone's wishes and hand over his parents and sister to Wei Linxuan to take care of.Thinking about it from another angle, let's just give Wei Linxuan, the new son-in-law, a chance to please his father-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law.

Of course, it is also an opportunity for the two families to integrate and get closer to each other.

What Lu Chi didn't know was that when he let go and left, the members of the Wei family and the Lu family didn't have a trip that was extraordinarily chic with food, drink, and fun as planned. A well-intentioned blind date" is a careful Gongdou scene.

But these are things for later.When Lu Chi bid farewell to his family and took a plane to Washington, the time had silently entered August.

First Financial has been fighting with the M country's Congress, the White House, and the Trade Commission for a long time, and finally reached the point where most people agree to vote on the proposal.

According to the legal process of country M, the day before the vote on the proposal, First Finance must produce a petition with 5000 signatures and submit it to the government of country M.In order to ensure the strength of this petition, Lu Chi directly mobilized his personal connections in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, starting from the top of the pyramid, going down in the order of the wealth list and the professional authoritative list, and screening at the bottom Nearly 5000 customers with the most development potential who have helped finance the first financial since the establishment of the website signed together.The final [-] signatures included almost half of the richest candidates on the country M rich list, as well as initial entrepreneurs with great potential in recent years.

It requires capital to have capital, and projects to have projects. Its energy coverage can almost form a global capital operation investment chain.When the signature book was submitted to the Senate, even the well-informed congressmen were almost blinded by this luxurious lineup.Close-up, all-round, intuitive and effective, I can feel the high-profile luxury and connotation specially displayed by Lu Chi.

Due to the sufficient preparatory work in the early stage and the strength of the signature letter submitted, the voting on the proposal this time went very smoothly.

August 2006, 8 was the day when the proposal was voted on.

For the first time in this life, he tried to use his own energy to promote legislation. For Lu Chi, no matter whether the proposal vote is successful or not, it has a very special commemorative significance for him.So on the day when the proposal was voted on, Lu Chi and Yue Bin got up early and changed into custom-made high-priced suits—the two of them also asked a stylist to make a look for them, which was so exquisite that they were about to walk on the Oscar red carpet. Like a Hollywood superstar.Then, accompanied by the employees of the Leap Deer Fund, they stepped into the gate of the Senate together, preparing to witness this crucial moment.

By the way, the appearance of the two in suits and leather shoes was also joked by Eric Weiss as "ready to go to the wedding"——

That's right, in order to support Lu Chi and First Finance, Eric Weiss, a Wall Street tycoon who has been close to Mo Zhehei recently and turned into a short-selling maniac, also rushed to Washington the night before the proposal was voted on. Prepare to accompany the most important partners to witness this commemorative moment - in fact, not only Eric Weiss, including Old Locke, all Wall Street and even Silicon Valley colleagues who have cooperated with Lu Zhe Ran over to help the platform join in the fun.

So on the day of the vote on the proposal, almost half of the audience in the Senate were familiar faces—either the capital tycoon who dominated the wealth list all the year round, or the IT tycoon who dominated the list of legends in Silicon Valley all the year round. The luxurious lineup of many bigwigs gathered in the auditorium of the Senate almost made the accompanying media reporters scream in horror - just judging from the luxurious lineup in the auditorium, this is a feast of capital and technology industry exchanges.

And under the watchful eyes of this gang of bigwigs, there is no doubt that the highly anticipated members of the Senate naturally feel the pressure doubled.

I don't know if I had thought about the result long ago, or I changed my mind temporarily under the shock of capital.All in all, the voting results of this proposal are very gratifying——

On August 2006, 8, the government of country M officially passed the JB Act.At the moment when the new bill was passed, including Lu Chi and Yue Bin, all the people who had worked hard for this moment stood up together, hugged each other, screamed and clapped their hands to celebrate.The bigwigs from Wall Street and Silicon Valley who had been sitting in the auditorium watching this scene also stood up and applauded politely.

Lu Chi and Yue Bin stood embracing each other in full view of the public. The two young bodies hugged each other tightly. This precious scene was quietly photographed by fellow financial reporters, and it became the next day that major financial media around the world competed to reproduce it. Matching photos of headlines.Even many years later, when everyone is researching the JB Act and the field of equity crowdfunding, it is absolutely precious information that cannot be bypassed when searching for relevant documents.

After Lu Chi and Yue Bin's love affair was announced, this photo was even sold for a high price of tens of thousands of gold on the auction website.

However, at that time, because the scene of the passage of the proposal was too exciting, everyone was excitedly celebrating how they promoted the legislation to create history, and they were all looking forward to the more brilliant future of the field of equity crowdfunding, completely ignoring The intimate behavior of Yue Bin and Lu Chi.

In the evening, in order to celebrate the success of Lu Chi, the partner, and of course to reward the employees of Leap Deer Fund and First Finance who have worked hard for more than half a year, Eric Weiss volunteered to hold a celebration party and invited everyone to join in the fun Big guys celebrate together.

Those bigwigs who traveled thousands of miles and came here by private plane to join in the fun originally wanted to take this opportunity to make friends with Lu Chi. They were originally thinking about where to go for the next game after the proposal was over. Now Eric Wei The act of throwing a celebration party directly is exactly what he wanted.Even many members of the Senate readily agreed when they received the invitation—you must know that the guests at this celebration party included the top [-] capital tycoons on the wealth rankings of the country M, and the members of the Senate also attended the party. We can make some capital, and the talks are good. At least next year's political donations will not be a problem.

And Adolf Stephenson and Aldrich Albert, who were the first to show their favor to Lu Chi and even surrendered, naturally wanted to attend the party.Especially for Aldrich Albert, who has just entered Congress, this party will not only allow him to make friends with some bigwigs, but also make friends with veteran members of the Senate.Such opportunities are also very precious.

All the guests were secretly calculating in their hearts, thinking about how to use the party to gain deeper contacts.However, for Lu Chi and Yue Bin, tonight's party was purely a celebration banquet—the two even called Xing Yuan, Zhuo Zhuo, Zhang Yang and others in New York and Cannes, asking everyone to come and celebrate together .

In Yue Bin's words, the more people there are, the more lively it is.

When other people saw this, they also called their friends one after another—you must know that not anyone can gather these capital tycoons worth tens of billions together at any time.In fact, in Wall Street and Silicon Valley, only Lu Chi has such a great appeal.Some people couldn’t help but miss their relatives, friends and business partners after attending the party, so they made more and more phone calls, and the guests gathered more and more, and finally even alerted the local police in Washington to send police to protect them—just because of the gathering The guests at the party have completely included the top [-] richest people on the M rich list and more than half of the members of Congress and the White House.The police were terrified that if they were not careful, some kind of psychosis would rush in, and all the top [-] richest people in the entire country of M would fall. It is estimated that the economic situation of the entire country of M would be shaken.

However, what was even more unexpected was that after the party ended, Eric Weiss repeatedly tempted Lu Zhi to save a few parties from time to time, probably because he had tasted the sweetness of this party.Lu Chi was so annoyed that he had no choice but to promise that a similar party would be held in his own name every year in the future.And this very subjective private party broke out when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out one year later and the economic crisis two years later—after the explosive news that the Leap Deer Fund led by Lu Chi wanted to short the entire earth in one fell swoop and achieved great success spread. , turned out to be a social party most wanted to join by global capitalists and IT leaders.Even those old-fashioned capital and chaebols are flocking to it.Even being able to join this party has become an important criterion for judging whether someone is qualified to stand in the global capital chain and technology field.

As for Lu Chi, there is no doubt that he has become the person who sets the standard.

But these are things for later.At that time, everyone, including the melon-eaters outside, was more concerned that at that celebration party, Lu Chi, who operated capital by himself to promote new legislation in the financial field, was booed by his drunk classmates. Singing, and then put his arms around his roommate and partner Yue Bin, stood on the stage, and sang a duet love song with his singing voice——

I don't know which big boss at the banquet was so young that he secretly shot the video and posted it on the Internet.So much so that the next day and the following week, the global entertainment sector was dominated by news that the capital tycoon and the man sang love songs duet.

Yue Bin, who also had a good time at the celebration party, was very lucky to become a "man next to the boss", and was picked up by the energetic netizens who had nothing to do and the spiritual shareholders of the campus network from all over the world. He was clean and tidy, and in the end he was dubbed "Big Brother's Favorite Man" by netizens.

Because Lu Chi has maintained a high-profile professional field for so many years, his daily life is very low-key, and he rarely even accepts interviews, and the media closely related to financial technology is very cautious when interviewing guests, and has never dared to offend the boss. , not as bold as some paparazzi papers like The Moon.So much so that when the reporters in the global entertainment section saw the small video that was crazily reposted on the Internet, they didn't have the capital sensitivity at all, and directly regarded this kind of news as an anecdote and put it on the front page of the newspaper-after all, except for those in the In addition to the glamorous stars on the big screen, people all over the world also have a strong curiosity about the luxurious and rich upper class.

And the "Moon News", which is notorious in the paparazzi circles all over the world, is even more confident that it has strong capital support, and it doesn't take Lu Chi, a new Wall Street billionaire, seriously.In the eyes of those paparazzi reporters whose minds are full of gossip, it is estimated that Lu Chi's influence is not as good as his younger brother, the international actor Lu Heng.Besides, that photo and that small video can't prove anything. When the global network is already reposting frantically, they can only quote it casually, which can only be regarded as a kind ridicule, not a malicious smear.Thinking about it, even if Lu Chi knew about it, he wouldn't bother with them.

With this in mind, the editor-in-chief of the "Moon News" directly approved the report, and even moved the report to the headline of the front page with great kindness, preparing to help the campus network promote it for free.When other entertainment media saw the "Moon Newspaper", they were all terrified, and they followed cautiously, wanting to drink some soup.

So the next morning, when Yue Bin and Lu Chi, who had woken up, looked at the scandal report of the boss on the computer and the newspaper, they were instantly stunned——

Coming out too fast is like a tornado~
