Reborn American Giants

A black Cadillac extended limousine was traveling through the streets of Manhattan. It was inconspicuous in the deep night. No one would have thought that the man sitting in the car had in his hands the control that today's drug cartels in South America have.

, the most important black channel.

The conversation with Scott Reilly went smoothly. The other party agreed to promote a bill on energy support for El Salvador in the Foreign Relations Committee, and promised Victor to ask about the distribution of US foreign military aid to Latin America in 1984.

Quota issue.

And all Victor paid was to set aside 10% of the "dividend shares" for him in the refinery project to be built. After the profits were generated, they would be transferred regularly to a Swiss bank account provided to Victor by the Senator.

, at the same time, Scott introduced a company called Persia in Washington, D.C.

The name of Don Bod's lobbying agency was given to Victor, and he was asked to provide $1 million to the lobbying firm to conduct a lobbying campaign for Texaco and Exxon to help Green Bay Energy build a refinery in El Salvador. Of course, in the end,

The main lobbying target is undoubtedly Senator Scott Riley.

The meaning is self-evident, this money is an open bribe.

In the U.S. Congress, the Senate is not allowed to accept cash or gifts exceeding $10 from any private person or institution, otherwise it will face a hearing and review by the Ethics Committee. This is simply terrible for these members of Congress who are obsessed with fame and fortune.

It couldn't be any worse.

But this did not stop these smart people playing politics, and the lobbying movement came into being.

In American politics, lobbying is not a derogatory term. For example, there is a school in New York City. Every year, the New York State government allocates an education fund, and the city government also allocates part of the cost, so that the school's annual

The budget is over $40 million.

Before the state assembly meets, the school will organize lobbying activities. The lobbyists include not only the directors and leaders of the school board, but also teachers and students. They will even mobilize some famous parents of students and celebrities in society.

Strive to avoid cutting school education funding to reduce student tuition fees, enhance the quality of education, etc.

However, in order to achieve their own political goals and the interests of their clients, these professional lobbying companies have developed this legal political activity into an art form.

Statistics from the "American Lobbyists Association", a lobbyist organization, show that half of the 100 largest government public relations companies in the country are also law firms. Among lobbyists, one can see various big figures - all previous

Government and Congress ministers, congressmen, former staff of government agencies, etc. The biggest asset of a lobbying company is these political connections.

This is an industry with an annual value of more than 4 billion US dollars. According to statistics, Washington, DC has a total of more than 20,000 professional lobbyists of various types.

Political lobbying refers to various interest groups that use lobbying to influence legislative or administrative agencies in order to achieve their own goals.

Clients pay a lobbying company to lobby members of Congress on their behalf in order to achieve political proposals that are beneficial to them or to achieve their own political goals.

Lobbying companies not only use their existing political connections to lobby those legislators who hold legislative or review powers by treating them to meals, sending invitations to meetings, etc. They can also directly buy them with money. They can also organize campaign donations, etc. to lobby

Activity.

Of course, Victor and Senator Scott will not leave any paper agreements or the like. Victor is not afraid that Scott will not do his best, because if the refinery project does not pass the review of the Foreign Relations Committee, it will very likely

Naturally, there is no need to mention the 10% refinery revenue promised to Senator Scott.

Scott, on the other hand, is confident that as long as he is still in Congress, it will be simple, easy and enjoyable to deal with Victor, a businessman from a small Latin American country. Therefore, he is not afraid of Victor's tricks.

This is an exchange between money and rights. Scott "realizes" the political rights in his hands through operation, while Victor pays money to achieve his own political needs. Both parties get what they need, and everyone is happy.

When they returned to the Marriott Hotel, Dolio and others were already waiting in the room. Victor turned his head and ordered Ato: "Go and ask the hotel kitchen to prepare a dinner for me," he said with his eyes

Turning to Dolio and Nathan, "Would you two like a little?"

Dolio waved his hands repeatedly, Nathan also shook his head to indicate that he didn't need it, and Victor didn't care. Today at the Bay Area Club, after he finished talking to Scott, the two parties quickly separated.

Scott has other entertainment, and today is the first time the two parties have contacted each other, and they have not yet established a deep personal friendship. However, Victor believes that as the two parties contact each other several times, they will find their "resonance points" and deepen their understanding.

, I believe that "a comrade-like revolutionary friendship will soon be established."

He walked to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of whiskey, and then took down three wine glasses from the hanging shelf. Victor poured three glasses of wine directly. Dorio quickly stood up and took them, saying, "Thank you, sir.

"Then he handed a glass to Nathan, who was sitting on the sofa and seemed a little distracted.

What happened today was a shock to Nathan Miller, a Yale graduate who considers himself an elite. It was not that he was afraid of bloody scenes, but that Victor's identity was different from what he expected.

Through Dolio, he had vaguely understood the tip of the iceberg of Victor's underground power. Nathan could not have imagined that his current boss's identity was not what he thought, just a simple businessman.

According to Nathan's thinking, he only regarded Green Bay Energy as the "second chance" given to him by God. In his eyes, Victor was only a springboard for his re-emergence, although he thanked Victor in his heart for turning him from black

District was pulled out, but he had no intention of being bound to the other party from now on. Especially after learning about Victor's other "identity".

In his setting, he should have a better future and more ambitious development goals. Taking advantage of this opportunity for Green Bay Energy to cooperate with energy giants such as Texaco and Exxon, it will not be wrong for him to return to the White House in the future.

Not possible.

However, Nathan is obviously a smart man. Since Victor revealed his identity to him, it means that the other party will never let him, who knows his secret, leave easily.

This is where Nathan's troubles lie.

Seeing Nathan who was hesitant to speak, Victor drank all the whiskey in the glass in one gulp. The spicy wine rushed into the throat, like a fire burning in the chest, which made people feel energetic.

He knew that Nathan was a smart man, and he would know what choice he should make without him having to say much.

Sitting on the sofa, Victor asked Dolio directly: "How is it? Did things go well today?"

Putting down the wine glass in his hand, Dolio glanced at Nathan who was a little out of sorts, gritted his teeth, and said simply: "Sir, I never thought that Luke Nathaniel would be so loyal to Benjamin Jacobs."

The implication is that their actions today have failed.

Victor was not angry, he just crossed his legs, put his right hand on his knee, and tapped his kneecap with his index finger, falling into a state of deep thought.

Unexpectedly, Victor's anger did not explode. Dorio secretly glanced at the silent Victor. After thinking for a moment, he mustered up the courage to ask: "Sir, what should we do about the Blood Gang's next move?"

?”

Victor stopped typing and was about to speak when Nathan suddenly spoke: "In my opinion, attacking a gang is like attacking competitors in business. We need to put more pressure on them.

, while not giving up the possibility of opening a gap from within, so I suggest that we increase supplies to several other rival blood gangs while not giving up on continuing to look for "internal collaborators."

Victor smiled. Nathan was able to make suggestions and seemed to have understood his situation. Victor would never let a person like him who knew so many secrets leave his side. Since the situation is now like this, then Nathan will

He quickly adjusted his mentality, actively offered his suggestions to Victor, and showed his own value. This is good.

Turning his attention to Dolio, he was waiting for Victor's decision.

"According to what Nathan said, increase the supply to Gary Parr of the Crips and Bouchacareson of MS-13, and ask them to stop being so sneaky. I want them to sell their goods to Brooke in a big way.

Lin, and at the same time continue to contact people in the Blood Gang who are dissatisfied with Benjamin Jacobs. A strong dam is always the easiest to break from the inside."
