Reborn American Giants

Chapter 20 Power and money make peace

After putting the information in his hand back into the document bag and putting it away, he handed it to Atuo who was standing behind him to put it away. At the same time, Victor asked John without any expression on his face: "I appreciate this gift of yours."

If you like it, I’ll accept it.”

"It's my pleasure," John picked up the juice brought by the waitress and drank it in one gulp. He put down the cup and licked his lips and said.

"By the way, when are you going to return to the United States? I want to set aside some time to make preparations."

After a pause, Victor said again: "You know, in addition to the construction company and the like, I also recently established a venture capital bank. If I want to go to the United States, I would also like to see if there are any other

investment opportunities.”

John took a deep look at Victor and understood the meaning of his words very well. On the surface, Victor meant normal investment activities, but in fact, he was asking John what kind of people he would be after arriving in the United States.

Or things require his attention and management.

In the collusion between power and money, how to give money is also a knowledge. Even if you have money, you may not be able to give it away. This kind of thing is not uncommon, and there is also the question of whether the other party will accept it.

Furthermore, it is also worth considering what kind of "money" to send, as Victor said to John, he has Vandino Construction Company and a Green Bay Investment Bank under his name.

If it is just an ordinary bribe and money transfer, just transfer the money directly to the domestic account in the United States in the name of Fandino Construction Company.

But if the other party is a politician like Victor, then it will be very particular about how to send money.

If the other party does not dare to collect money directly, then Victor can use the name of Green Bay Investment Bank to set up a branch in the United States and make political donations.

Of course, this approach is more complex and secretive, especially if it is operated by a foreign investment bank like Green Bay, it will be much more cumbersome.

But it doesn't matter. In the United States, similar financial institutions have already had mature experience in donating political donations. Even if Victor doesn't understand, there is still a White House lawyer beside him who is quite familiar with this type of operation.

Familiar chief of staff Nathan Miller.

If you don't understand something, leave it to professionals. Victor only needs to get the result he expects. This is a wise saying.

"If it's investment, I can be of some help." After a slight hesitation, John quickly said to Victor: "Of course, you need to see the performance of the investment bank under your name before making a decision. You

You know, there are so many opportunities to invest and make profits now. If you can’t get huge returns, it’s better not to do it.”

"You can rest assured that the investment activities carried out by Green Bay Fund, the predecessor of Green Bay Investment Bank, since its establishment, have not disappointed the fund's "investing customers"," Victor said immediately with a smile, and also deliberately

When talking about "customers who invest in funds", he emphasized his tone and made it clear that he would never make it difficult for John.

John didn't say anything more about this, he just smiled. The brief conversation just now decided the future cooperation model between the two: John was responsible for introducing Victor to the "networks" he knew in the United States, and doing his best to help Victor.

Green Bay Investment Bank brought in "clients" and the rest was left to Victor.

And what about Victor? He needs to ensure that he can bring substantial investment returns to these "clients" attracted by John. However, this "money" is not given in vain, and these "clients" must also bring him tangible benefits.

benefits.

And in the future, Victor will need to continue to provide financial and information support to John to ensure that he can continue to climb up.

This is a "covenant" signed by two people who are full of ambitions in their hearts. The power-money transaction is simple and simple. It is nothing more than one party providing money and the other providing strength.

But the difficult part is how to find the right goal and take the first step. As the saying goes, money is something that not everyone can give away.

Never mind that last time, Senator Scott Riley of the Congressional Foreign Relations Committee would help Victor push a "Foreign Energy Assistance Act" in the U.S. Congress that was very beneficial to El Salvador, clearing the way for the construction of Green Bay Energy's refinery.

Overcame obstacles, and also agreed to help the Salvadoran military obtain more military assistance.

In order to achieve all this, the price Victor paid was 1 million US dollars in cash, paid to a lobbying organization called Boston Broadcasting, and at the same time, he also reserved 10 million US dollars for the refinery being built in Akajutla.

% dividend income.

Of course, the more important thing is that the other party agreed to accept these because of the sake of Texaco CEO Aaron Elvis.

Otherwise, even if Victor doubled this condition, he might not even be able to see Senator Scott Riley.

Now that Victor has grasped John's point, he can follow this line and get a key to enter the house.

And relying on John's introduction, he can use the huge amount of black gold in his hands to start to erode this secret network from point to point, and build his own underground interest network.

Some people may ask, will there be corruption in the United States?

Victor sneered at this. As a person who made his fortune in the black industry, he only believed in one thing: wherever rights exist, there will be corruption. This is a fact that will not change at all since mankind invented the word "political activity."

On the surface, the United States seems to have relatively little corruption. In addition to the government's relatively strong crackdown on these behaviors, what's more, they have made some private corrupt behaviors superficial and legalized.

"Corruption" done in the sun is still corruption.

Of course, the agreement reached between Victor and John will not be signed, and everything will not be on paper. Victor is not afraid of John playing the trick of burning bridges.

Don't look at the fact that John Crowdy is now the head of the CIA's intelligence station in El Salvador. With the powerful United States behind him, he holds great power in El Salvador. He is successful in everything he does and lacks nothing.

But if you think about it carefully, you will find that John is actually very short of hard currency such as "US dollars".

The United States is a country with high welfare and high consumption. The government has levied quite severe taxes on all walks of life to maintain the social welfare system, in order to show the outside world the advanced nature of capitalist society.

As an ordinary intelligence agency bureaucrat, John's meager salary cannot support his current lavish spending.

What's more, he now not only needs to maintain his own livelihood, but also needs large sums of money to carry out activities and win over people's hearts to pave the way for his plan to seize power and build bridges.

As a result, his financial needs cannot be supported by his stable salary.

Coincidentally, what John was in urgent need of was exactly what Victor lacked the most.

As a person who made his fortune through black business, Victor's morality has almost dropped below the "water level". For him, money comes and goes as quickly as it comes.

So from this aspect, Victor can be considered very generous in this aspect.

There are two of them: one is an intelligence agency official who has power but no money, is bold and eager to seize power.

A guy who is equally bold and has money and power in a small Latin American country, but who also urgently needs to find a "protective umbrella" in the United States.

No matter which way you look at it, it's not clear whether it's a blessing or a misfortune that two guys with common needs meet together.

No matter what, the two of them are a perfect match.
