Chicago 1990

"Good evening, a few minutes ago, I just called George Jr. to congratulate him on becoming the 43rd General Commander of America. I promise that I will not take back my congratulations this time. I offered to meet him as soon as possible. In order to be able to make up for the differences brought about by the campaign and the confrontation we have just experienced."

"About a century and a half ago, Senator Douglas said to Lincoln, who had just defeated him in the general election: Partisanship must give way to patriotic passion. The leader is the leader. I will always stand with you. God bless you... "

On the evening of December 12, the Federal Supreme Court announced its judgment: It is unconstitutional to continue manual vote counting in any situation. Al Gore gave up resistance, and on the evening of the 13th he gave a wonderful long speech, acknowledging his defeat.

Then George Jr. also gave a televised speech, calling on the people of the whole country to abandon partisanship and unite again. At the same time, the Florida State Assembly also terminated the nominations of electors and the constitutional crisis was eliminated.

"These thirty-six days have really gone through magnificent ups and downs. The multi-dimensional game between the two parties at all levels of society cannot be described by any text or audiovisual language. Just in case, it is too exciting."

Carl Icahn raised his glass and gestured to Gore, who was speaking on the TV screen, "He is always so decent, but unfortunately he is an embroidered pillow. I heard that the middle and late decision-making is basically the former Secretary of State Warren Christopher helping?"

"I am not sure."

Song Ya rolled his eyes silently, "I don't think it's a wonderful, cowardly game that is lower than anyone else's bottom line. If manual vote counting continues, Gore will definitely come back and have more than one hundred votes. In Palm Beach County, independent candidate Buchanan got more than 3,800 votes, but he only had more than 300 supporters there. Seminole and Martin counties 25,000 invalid votes with missing information were corrected as valid. The ballot was voted for George Jr. Dade County openly and passively opposed the court order. At a polling place near the African-American community, there were witnesses who said that the whole box of ballots was discarded by the local election committee...and those with problems. There were nearly 10,000 votes overseas. In this way, Gore won more than half a million popular votes. In the final analysis, we lost because seven of the nine life-long federal justices were appointed by the chief of the Elephant Party, and two of them were still Personally appointed by King George..."

"BullSHXT! All rumors!"

The two of them disliked each other, and they had been fighting for a while. Karl Icahn had a better mentality. The young black pharaoh beside him was talking and complaining like beautiful music, which was refreshing from head to toe.

In fact, when Messier and the old Bronfman took the initiative to visit the door in France to see the news of this kid spread back to Wall Street, he was stunned. He couldn't imagine that a novice futures investor would dare to go to France to short a multinational giant with a market value of 100 billion yuan! And also gained an advantage! What did I do when I was twenty-six years old! ?

This made him feel a little frustrated at the time, and he was in a low mood for several days. It was not until later that the news that the boy's ally, the Tiger Fund broke his position, eased slightly. He guessed that the boy followed the Tiger Fund to win first and then lose.

That's okay... barely acceptable.

But after the release of a series of documents that Tiger Fund confessed to investors, he was messed up again. Although he couldn't find too many details, it is easy to see that before the last days of Tiger Fund, the deep-sea private equity related to the black pharaoh Has made a profit and ran away...

Make a fortune in the middle of Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank, Lehman Brothers, Solomon Smith Barney, Vivendi Global and French financial giants and get out of the way? Julian Robertson of the Tiger Fund was very tight-lipped about this matter, and he didn't say a single word after inquiring about it several times. But in any case, this kid is too strong, he is almost like someone who is born with him. Carl Icahn thinks that the other party once deflated himself in the two battles of 3DFX and Marvel and he was sixty-five years old. This There is no hope of revenge in my life...

Unexpectedly, haha ​​didn't expect little George to be elected this year from a major disadvantage of eleven points behind in the polls!

He firmly supports little George. This year's political gamble was about to harvest the benefits. He immediately thought of the young black pharaoh.

Sure enough, he got what he wanted. Although this kid was swearing, he still came to Manhattan to make a pilgrimage to himself, and he offered 2.5% of YAHOO’s shares in his hands as a price of 500 million knives. In less than a year Previously, the value of this share was as high as 3 billion...

Shuang Shuang Shuang! How can this grab a cool word!

Carl Icahn suppressed the gushing smile, and feigned anger, "Then why don't you say that the seven justices of the Florida Supreme Court were all appointed by the Donkey Party and they returned a seven-to-zero return? A plus, I know you feel bad about the donations burned this year, but it’s time to accept the reality!"

"Hehe, what the law is the norm, the strict neutrality is usually played, but at this time, I have talked about the organization and discipline... Anyway, you won, whatever you say. O'Grady, we should go."

Business is business, but now that this business is done, Song Ya didn't bother to accompany him to talk about Shiraz, grabbed the claws of the Wolf King of Wall Street and shook it and called O'Grady to leave by himself. When he walked to the door, he suddenly turned back and asked: "So... Are you betting that next year's Elephant Party government will rescue the market successfully? Or are you always involved in shorting YAHOO and now you need to buy back the stock to liquidate? Or are you planning to initiate a malicious M&A against YAHOO?"

"secret."

The young man was not too amusing after all. Song Ya’s grievances made Carl Icahn even more proud, and the old **** was taking a sip of champagne, “I am worthy of you and thank you anyway. It’s because I don’t abandon my predecessors to help. You got away."

"Hehe, we all get what we need."

Thanks, Song Ya sneered, "I can hold these shares, saying that getting out is too inconsistent with the facts, Mr. Icahn, I can also wait for the new government to rescue the market next year."

"Then why did you still shoot?"

"Because I am a credibility person, since I sent the news to the next home, if someone buys it, I will sell it." Song Ya categorically put down a sentence and left.

"Wait! I'll send you off!" Karl Icahn's voice came from behind.

"No, please stay."

"I insist."

Song Ya and O'Grady just walked down the steps outside the building, the old man caught up with breathlessness, "There is another thing APLUS, I heard that Jordan Belfort's autobiography The Wolf of Wall Street is finished? Haha, I don't know how. You stuffed it into the movie, right?"

"No, I let the screenwriter change your role to Paulson." Song Ya undoubtedly hates Paulson, the chairman of Goldman Sachs, who treats promises as air.

"Hahaha!" Karl Icahn laughed.

‘Crack! ’

At this moment, the two reporters rushed out of the diagonal stab, and they slapped the two who were shaking hands and talking.

"Carl..." Song Ya didn't know it was a trap yet, gritted his teeth.

Hee hee... "These paparazzi are really annoying." Carl Icahn pretended to let his hands go down to drive people, "Goodbye APLUS."

"Goodbye."

‘APLUS, an important individual shareholder of YAHOO, today sold 2.5% of its shares to Icahn Capital at the current price for a total transaction amount of $515 million. ’

In the evening, the financial media announced the news. The picture was taken by the two reporters. It was a classical oil painting composition. Song Ya was standing under the steps with a gloomy face looking up at Karl Icahn who was laughing heartily. People clasp hands.

"It's like I surrendered to him after losing the battle."

Song Ya uncomfortably put down the newspaper to complain, "This old thing, last time in 3DFX, he still didn't hurt him."

"Will we be unlucky?" the ex-wife next to him asked worriedly: "This year we are so supportive of Gore."

"No, I can handle it."

The election of George Jr. is a foregone conclusion. The Elephant Party will be in power in the next four years. This is almost a path Song Ya never envisaged, just as he had never thought that the festive Kal Icahn would take over the shares of YAHOO. "But there will always be some depressing……"

Song Ya said frustrated, but he clearly knew that this is not the time to complain. Fortunately, he has maintained a long-term friendship with John Liu, and his relationship with Senator McKean, John Warner and others is okay. The new deputy commander Cheney Na also donated Some money, plus PNAC, who has a deep collusion with Cheney, has a secret lover, Cassidy...

In the next four years, the Elephant Party will win both the Senate and the House of Representatives. George Jr. is in full power. The George dynasty has returned and is even more powerful. It must reorganize itself. The Elephant Party hates and offends people. A little too much.

It has not been envisaged, but it has become a fait accompli.

"Ok."

Mariah Carey fiddled with her little ex-husband's short hair sensibly this time.

‘This campaign period was very enjoyable, but it’s all over now...’

The Jones Stewart talk show on Channel A was being shown on TV. He said to his partner next to him: "Gore is over, isn't it?"

"Exactly right, his long and tangled road to the campaign is finally over, so now...this is Gore's new plan and the next appeal process..." The fake answer from the partner caused a warm laugh on the scene.

"Wow, wait, wait." Jones Stewart reminded his partner, "Gore has admitted defeat."

"Jon, did he admit it on November 7, okay?" The partner throws out Gore's burden of admitting defeat for the first time but quickly repenting, "Who can tell in the future?"

"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter again.

"According to the legal procedures in the United States, Gore is finished, but now, he directly asks the Hall of Justice for help, to present his case to his superhero friends, and the Supreme Court of the Justice League! Batman, Robin, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Green Lantern, Flash ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Chief Apache, Samurai, Hawkman, Black Vulcan, Wonder Twins, and Chief Justice: our Superman Superman!"

The partner borrowed the DC Comics Justice League's stalk to broadcast the report, and the audience couldn't stop laughing.

This conversation is funny, and it also reflects the current mentality of the liberals. On the one hand, the offensive and defensive campaign for more than a month is tiresome, and they don't want to see the United States fall into a constitutional crisis.

But on the other hand, they believe that Gore Guquan’s admission of defeat is a sacrifice for the overall situation and sacrifice. They are particularly resentful of the unjust deviation of the Federal Supreme Court, so they would rather put the superheroes in the Justice League half-jokingly. One by one replaced the justices of the Federal Supreme Court.

True justice may only be achieved in comics.

But life is not a comic. The next four years... I will continue to live it anyway.

"call……"

Song Ya was too lazy to watch the full talk show, picked up the controller to turn off the TV, then hugged the back of his head with his hands and closed his eyes.
