Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

"Rhodes, long time no see, how are you doing?"

"Mr. Xia, it's nice to see you. I've had a very fulfilling time during this time."

...

After a few simple greetings, Xia Yu brought Rhodes Saxon to the living room and sat down.

"The hard days are finally over, and now it's the harvest season. Would you like some champagne to celebrate?"

Xia Yu said to Rhodes Saxon with a smile.

The latter said with a smile: "If there is, it would be better."

"Wait a moment."

Having said that, Xia Yu walked to the closet and took a bottle of champagne from the grid and put it on the coffee table, then brought two goblets again.

Rhodes Saxon opened the champagne skillfully and poured some wine into each of the two goblets that had just been set down.

The two picked up the cup and touched it lightly.

Xia Yu smiled and blessed: "Rhodes, I wish you a brilliant political career."

"Thank you, this is inseparable from your help! If you hadn't recommended me, maybe I'd still be hanging out on Wall Street."

Rhodes Saxon grinned happily and thanked him from the bottom of his heart.

He graduated from Stanford University with a major in public policy programs and finance. After graduation, he entered Wall Street and worked in many banks and investment banks. He has gradually become a senior economist from a junior economist. In his spare time, he also writes for the Wall Street Journal. Writing economic articles is definitely an elite talent.

But in the U.S., the financial sector has the most talent, not to mention elite Wall Street, which is full of talent.

Rhodes Saxon believes that his talent is not bad. Although the job he is engaged in is suitable for him, he has not exerted his true talent. After all, he is not a pure financial talent, but a political and economic elite.

It was not until Xia Yu found him, and after a detailed chat with him, he was introduced to Ronald Reagan, and then he became a member of Ronald Reagan's campaign team.

With Ronald Reagan about to move into the White House,

He is also expected to be a White House official.

He has no political experience, but stepped into the White House in one step. This kind of starting point is not a high one. His starting point is the end point that many people can't achieve with their hard work.

He also knew that all this was inseparable from Xia Yu, so he was grateful to Xia Yu from the bottom of his heart.

"That's fate, isn't it?"

"And if it wasn't for your real talent, I don't think you could impress me, or Ronald Reagan."

Xia Yu said with a light smile, but secretly thought that he did not choose the wrong person.

Rhodes Saxon shook his head and said, "There are a lot of talented people on Wall Street, but you chose me. In Huaxia's words, you have a gift for me, and you changed my life."

Xia Yu laughed, raised his glass again and said, "I wish you a better future!"

"I wish you a prosperous career! I wish our friendship a long time!"

"cheers!"

"Bang!"

After putting down the cup again, Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and felt comfortable all over. He leaned on the back of the soft sofa and asked, "Rhodes, in more than two months, our Mr. Reagan will take office as president, you You should have thought about your goals, right?"

Rhodes Saxon nodded solemnly and said: "I have thought about it, but the choice of appointment is in Mr. Reagan's hands. After the election results came out yesterday, I could feel that the hearts of everyone in the team were floating, so I'm not sure."

"Although some members joined later, they have strong backgrounds, which are all uncertain factors."

Xia Yu understood Rhodes Saxon's thoughts very well.

He knew about Ronald Reagan's campaign, and it could be said that it went through three stages.

The first stage is the initial stage. To participate in the Republican presidential candidate campaign, the team was basically recruited by himself using his personal connections. Of course, there are also people like Xia Yu who invested in the beginning and recommended people to go in. Of course, only Xia Yu such a one.

Because at the beginning, only Xia Yu gave Ronald Reagan high expectations and gave him a huge help.

The second stage is that after defeating George Herbert Walker Bush and becoming the Republican presidential candidate, the campaign team has undergone tremendous changes.

The first was to form a group with George Herbert Walker Bush, and the latter's campaign manager Jim Baker (James Edison Baker III) gradually replaced Ronald Reagan's original campaign director and became the The number one steward of the campaign team.

Not only that, some elite advisers of George Herbert Walker Bush also joined in, and after representing the will of the Republican Party, several bigwigs in the Republican Party also joined in, plus the Rockefeller Foundation, Germany The representative of the will sent by the Texas consortium, etc., the team can be described as a big change.

The last stage is the members who joined in order to continuously increase their strength and connections during the general election process. The changes in this stage are not as big as those in the second stage.

But no matter when they came in, they all worked hard for Ronald Reagan. Some people were gradually entrusted with important tasks because of their ability, and some veterans were gradually marginalized because of their lack of ability.

When Ronald Reagan conquered the country, he naturally wanted to seal all the ministers, but how to seal it is a matter of knowledge. It involves factors such as personal ability, personal connections, background, etc. Ronald Reagan needs to comprehensively consider and arrange.

Of course, there are also some people who are in charge of special matters in the campaign team and completely correspond to the positions in the White House and Cabinet, and are not worried about others taking them away.

James Brady, for example, first served as the director of public affairs and research in the campaign team, and then became the spokesperson of the presidential election office, and he did a good job. He could become the director of the White House press office after two months, which means that the exposure is super Gao's White House press secretary.

Another example is William Joseph Casey, the former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State, who was in charge of the initial campaign team, and later gave the position to Jim Baker, but did not marginalize, but recruited former federal agents to serve as Rhone. De Regan has built a political intelligence network, and has done such a good job that there is no doubt that the new CIA director will fall to him.

But Rhodes Saxon was not so lucky, because he was not the only financial adviser on the campaign team, even if he was the first to join!

"Then Rhodes, which position do you think you are suitable for?"

Xia Yu asked.

Rhodes Saxon put his thoughts out: "I think I'm qualified for the position of assistant to the president and director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers."

After he finished speaking, his eyes were fixed on Xia Yu.

As Xia Yu frowned slightly, Rhodes Saxon's heart lifted slightly.

"Rhodes, I can definitely get you the position of assistant to the president, but the influence of the director of the White Worker Council of Economic Advisers ranks among the top six in the White House. Generally speaking, it is the chief economic adviser, and can be in many fields. Ronald Reagan would certainly have been very careful to communicate directly with the Cabinet."

"And as far as I know, Ronald Reagan likes to hear from John Rutridge, who should be your biggest rival?"

Although it was an inquiry, Xia Yu's tone contained a hint of certainty.

This later generation of John Rutridge is well-known. Not only is he a Ph.D. degree, but he is also the main creator of the American economic framework in the Reagan era, and a White House tax policy advisor in the Bush era. Think Tank.

Sure enough, Rhodes Saxon nodded with a wry smile: "Yes, John Rutridge's economic views are very bright, I and him are the same in many places, but there are also some differences, and my resume is worse than his. a little."

"In addition to the director of the White House Council of Economic Advisers for me, the following three positions are not suitable for me. Except for this department, it is difficult for other positions to show my political views in the economic field."

Xia Yu nodded slightly in approval.

In addition to the post of director, the White House Council of Economic Advisers is composed of three academic economists. Rhodes Saxon is not an academic economist.

On the other hand, Rhodes Saxon and John Rutridge have overlapping views. If they are below him, the opposing views will be easily rejected and the light will be obscured, which is very unfavorable for his political path.

It is understandable that Rhodes Saxon was not resigned to being behind John Rutridge.

"Rhodes, I understand your concern."

"This position is based on your previous performance, and you have an estimated one-fifth success rate against John Rutridge, and even if I go to Ronald Reagan, your success rate is at most 1 in 5. half."

Hearing this, Rhodes Saxon immediately said: "Half of it is not low. If this fails, I have nothing to say."

He came to Xia Yu for this. As the leader of fundraising in the campaign team, Rhodes Saxon knew the source of his real credit, and most of it was funded by Xia Yu.

Although this, only he and Ronald Reagan knew.

But that will certainly be a factor to consider as well.

However, he also knows that Xia Yu has made indelible contributions to Ronald Reagan's campaign. As long as Xia Yu is willing to speak up, Ronald Reagan will definitely consider it carefully. This is also his advantage, so the results just came out yesterday. Today he ran over in a hurry.

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said calmly, "Rhodes, don't worry, you are the person I recommended, and I will naturally push you."

"But at the moment it's not insurance."

"And most importantly, are you just going up and sitting for a few months and then getting kicked out, or are you sitting for a few years?"

"Or a few more years in a more secure position?"

"You are only forty-five years old, you have just entered the political arena, but you have entered the White House in one step. The most important thing for you is to stabilize your position and show your talents with enough time. This is the most important thing."

Rhodes Saxon frowned, feeling unable to grasp Xia Yu's meaning, and asked, "Mr. Xia, which one do you think I am suitable for?"
