Chapter 2153
President Ellis never imagined that Alvin would actually have the idea of recruiting himself to the World Security Council.
The old man looked at Alvin with strange eyes and said a little uncertainly: "Are you kidding?
In fact, I think the office of a former president is very suitable for my needs after retirement, the World Security Council, isn't this a bit..."
"Something?"
Alvin looked at President Ellis funny and said: "Although there are many differences within the coalition, they are also moving in roughly the same direction.
The Gunslingers Club has lost interest in the World Security Council since Zheng Xian, but we all know that the World Security Council will have more and more say in the future.
Of course I personally feel that a person who is not involved in external interests is more suitable to play the role of chairman of the board of directors. "
After hearing this, President Ellis said with a wry smile: "I didn't expect that having no background would have such benefits?"
As he spoke, Ellis looked into Alvin's eyes and said seriously: "If, I mean, if I become the president, what do you need me to do?"
Alvin looked at the President who seemed a little nervous with some humor, and said with a smile: "I don't need anything...
The butt determines the head, do whatever you are in, and if possible, try to get the job done right.
You don’t need to take care of anyone’s emotions, am I right? "
President Ellis was stunned for a moment, and then said in an extremely weird tone: "You helped me get into the World Security Council, but you don't need anything?
Raymond won't cause trouble for me? "
Alvin said indifferently: "What can the president of the World Security Council do?
In the past, no one in the major countries really took it seriously.
The president is just a position like a big housekeeper!
If you're worried about trouble, just put the former president's office in Detroit, build a good relationship with Ivan, and give him advice by the way, and you can continue your influence. "
Ellis looked at Alvin who didn't care, he shook his head helplessly and said: "I need to think about it, there is no plan to enter the World Security Council in my retirement plan.
And without enough support, my end will definitely not be good. "
"Your end after retirement will not be much better..."
At the side, old Cage, who was wearing big pants and sunbathing, took off his sunglasses and placed them on his belly. He looked at the hesitating President Ellis with contempt and said, "Do you think Norman Osborne will still be there after you retire?" Sparing no effort to support you?
Only Alvin is soft-hearted, otherwise you, an old bastard, will be damned. "
President Ellis spread his hands helplessly and said: "Fortunately, I am a friend, right?
Old man, I am actually more inclined to go to Tomahawk School to be an honorary principal. This is my final plan for myself.
If I had used my rights unscrupulously in the past two years, if it were not to ensure the smooth progress of several of my reforms, I should actually make an appointment with Nelson now. "
As he spoke, Ellis looked at Alvin and said with a smile: "I actually asked Nelson several times, do you really have no need to give a speech? What's wrong with the president of the United States going to cheer up your students?"
Alvin looked at President Ellis with contempt and said: "Making a living is the main task of those students. What's the use of instilling the American dream of democracy and freedom in them?
While you're still here, it's okay to get a few more letters of recommendation for my students. "
As Alvin looked at Ellis's old face, he hesitated and said, "In good conscience, you are actually a political animal, otherwise anyone in your position would start to give up on themselves.
The World Security Council is actually quite suitable for you. It is the most suitable way out for you to coordinate the relationship between all parties and expand your influence at the same time to prevent those who have been framed by you from paying to kill you.
You, a Democratic president, have thrown away people from your own party and pressed the Republicans by the neck to force them to cooperate with you in carrying out reforms. In the end, you have offended people on both sides.
A president who can't even get sponsorship is a burden to the school.
But I still respect your decision. No matter what the final result is, the school can leave a place for you. "
Alvin's rude words made Ellis blush slightly. Of course he knew that he was just a burden, but he had to shamelessly hug Alvin's thigh...
"I have more than a year left in my term, during which time I will think about my future."
As he spoke, Ellis looked at Alvin and said sincerely: "I want to thank you no matter what. It's you who gave me the courage to let go."
Alvin shook his head and said: "Politically, I am just an insignificant person. What you have now is the result of your own efforts."
As he spoke, Alvin looked at the large American plane in the distance, where a group of people in suits and ties stood looking at each other.
He waved his hand to JJ who was not far away, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have to arrange accommodation for people, at least give them a tent or something, otherwise I will become a 'stingy man'."
JJ grinned and said: "Some tourists were determined not to leave. I called Raymond and he said that there were hundreds of big shots coming later.
There are not enough empty rooms in the hotel. The aircraft carrier will arrive here in three hours, and then these guys will be accommodated.
Damn it, more than 30 people showed up without an invitation. This is not the way to take advantage. "
As he spoke, JJ squinted at President Ellis and said angrily: "These guys came here to eat and drink, and in the end they didn't even prepare any gifts. I'd better let them figure it out on their own."
Ellis turned to Alvin with a blush on his face and said: "It's not that I didn't bring a gift, but the funds of the President's Office are limited.
However, recently several offshore oil well companies in Alaska were preparing to declare bankruptcy. I asked people to hold them back. If you are interested, you can ask Steel Digital to take over those oil wells. "
Alvin looked at Ellis funny and said, "Brother, does such a big gesture like sending an oil well put you under a lot of pressure?"
Ellis hesitated after hearing this and said: "This is conditional. The Alaska government requires that the person who takes over must fully accept the oil well workers, and the pollution that was deliberately concealed in the early stage must also be rectified by the person taking over.
Let me do it. It doesn’t cost much to take over the oil well, and I can even give you hundreds of thousands of hectares of land.
But the subsequent maintenance costs are quite high, otherwise those companies would not want to file for bankruptcy.
DuPont and Mobil are currently interested in Alaska oil wells. If you are just satisfied with extracting oil and selling it for money, this is just a good business.
But if Steel Digital wants to get involved in the petrochemical industry, this is an excellent opportunity. "
Alvin was silent for a moment after hearing this. He had never thought in his entire life that he would have the opportunity to become an oil tycoon. The kind of business that puts money out of the land has made the Middle East either rich with oil or filled with wars.
By acquiring oil wells at almost zero cost, Steel Digital is fully capable of expanding its own industry.
Petrochemical industry is not just about producing gasoline. Most of the substances separated from crude oil can be effectively utilized. Almost everything related to machinery is inseparable from the support of petrochemical products.
Relying on constant mergers and acquisitions, Steel Digital has become an industry-intensive behemoth, and petrochemicals is a useful complement to it.
President Ellis is a good man and a good gift-giver. He generously gives gifts to others, and then builds a good relationship with Ivan, so that he can find a more generous person for himself after replacing Norman Osborne. The big benefactor.
Alvin looked at Ellis who looked serious, he smiled and nodded, and said: "I still have to discuss this matter with Ivan, but I will remember this favor.
After all, it has been my lifelong dream to be a rich oil man. Thank you for providing me with the opportunity.
You can set up an offshore company, and we will leave you 5% of the shares in the petrochemical company. Otherwise, a retired president will live a miserable life, which makes us friends very unreliable. "
Ellis smiled and nodded and accepted Alvin's invitation. This was an excellent opportunity for him.
For him, it is much better to tie himself to the Iron Digital chariot with profit than to tie Alvin with friendship.
Neil, who had been listening on the sidelines, looked at Alvin with a strange expression and said, "This guy still found a gold mine."
Alvin frowned and looked at Neil who interrupted, and said: "This is a friend. Hell's Kitchen has no tradition of burning bridges. After all, without him, this business would not exist at all."
Neil smiled, shook his head, and said, "When I said this guy struck a gold mine, I meant 'dig a gold mine' literally."
After hearing this, Alvin smacked his mouth, and finally shook his head and said with a smile: "This is a good thing, we can't bully our friends just because the benefits are greater.
Damn, gold mines, are there really gold mines in Alaska? you sure? "
Neil nodded indifferently and said: "I just admire the magic of fate. I said a lot before that I feel that I single-handedly created the future of the people around me, but I didn't say anything just now, but things are just going along. Move forward on the established track.
The gold mine must be real. A large gold mine was discovered on the land donated by the Alaska state government. You used the gold produced in it to create a golden angel Raphael for Sister Ginny.
My eldest sister will be the most generous among us, because every hair of her guardian angel is made of 500 grams of 24K gold. "
After hearing this, Alvin laughed and said: "Girls must be rich. I am so rich, so of course I can support myself how I want to be rich!"
As Alvin looked at the weird expressions of Ellis and Cage, he pushed Neil and said, "Get out of here quickly. Revealing too many secrets will make me lose my sense of expectation."
While Alvin was speaking, little Ginny, who was enjoying her ice cream feast, suddenly jumped up and rushed towards the seaside pier as if she had been given a shot of blood.
At the same time, dozens of large passenger planes appeared in the sky over the distant sea...
The army is finally here!
While JJ was holding the brothers together, Alvin smiled and walked to the beach, where a real guest came...
