Chapter 346: The Power of a Big Mouth!
(Thanks to "Clumsy fly" for the rewards, big brother! Applause for you! Sprinkle flowers! Add more! ~\(≧▽≦)/~)
Of course, let’s not consider hypothetical questions for the time being. Anyway, Yang Cheng asked everyone to enter into his own thinking, and after thinking about it, he was surprised to find that, as Yang Cheng said, in the past several times, he suddenly found that During the incident, Mrs. Laddon's performance was indeed not as decisive as a leader should be. Instead, she was more concerned about how to deal with public opinion and how to reduce the adverse impact of the incident on herself.
As Yang Cheng said, even if this shortcoming is applied to other politicians, there is nothing to be afraid of. After all, no one is perfect, but it is not suitable for the president of the United States. Resoluteness is one of the qualities that a country's leader must have. one.
At this moment, even the steadfast old stock god shook subconsciously for a few seconds, so that no matter how wise he was, he immediately figured out the loophole in Yang Cheng's words, but who is he? A legendary figure who has been on Wall Street for decades, what he can figure out does not mean that others can, let alone ordinary voters who cannot see the essence of things clearly. Warren Buffett took a deep look at Yang Cheng and said in his heart, "What a frightening young man. It's rare to have such a keen eye at this age."
Of course, Yang Cheng didn't know the old stock god's evaluation of him. Under the solemn expression, there was a secret joy in his heart, "Let you fool me, see if I don't fool you!"
As Buffett guessed, Yang Cheng just took out the afterthought analysis of later generations to create suspicion among the big bosses in the donkey party, so as to temporarily withdraw himself from this whirlpool, and now choose to stand aside, even if The other party is willing to pay a part of the benefits, but it is by no means maximized. Will Yang Cheng do such a loss-making business?
At critical moments, such as when the number of votes is deadlocked, the Yang family will step in strongly and become a key pawn in determining the direction of the general election. That is the moment when the Yang family can reap the greatest benefits. A group of barbarians with only a few hundred years of history dare to follow their ancestors The descendants of Yan and Huang with a history of thousands of years playing routines? I really want to go blind!
The banquet began quickly. In a traditional Western-style dinner, the dishes were served in the order of appetizers, main courses, and desserts. During the banquet, because of the arrival of Ao Guanhai, everyone had to put down their knives and forks and gave a standing ovation.
The amount of dishes for this kind of formal dinner is very small, even if it is the main course, it is only two or three mouthfuls, which may not be enough for a normal adult man, and Yang Cheng can't even arouse any appetite. Too many, Yang Cheng casually ate a few mouthfuls of lamb chops, put down the tableware, and chatted with the guests at the same table.
Yang Cheng is at the third table on the right. The people here are mainly young and middle-aged entrepreneurs under the age of 35. One of them is a young financier from Boston. As an expert in academics, who can combine academics and theory so perfectly, there must be something extraordinary, so Yang Cheng also exchanged a few words with him with interest, but this person can't speak very much, and even accused the new era in his words The media was too aggressive, which made Yang Cheng feel uncomfortable. He didn't talk speculatively, and Yang Cheng lost the desire to continue talking.
Turning around and seeing Georgina still dealing with the dessert, he suddenly remembered that he still had a debt to settle with this woman.
"Honey, shouldn't you explain something to me?" Yang Cheng put her arm on the back of Georgina's chair and asked in her delicate ear.
Georgina was relieved of the spoon, leaned against Yang Cheng's arms, raised her head slightly and said softly, "Explain what? Aren't you also using me to avoid being misunderstood by the Elephant Party?"
Yang Cheng pursed her lips, and moved closer, exhaling hot air straight into her ear holes, making Georgina itch to fidget, "That's different, I asked you for help obviously, but you kept it from me, When did Uncle Michael quit the Elephant Party, why didn’t I know? Why didn’t he announce it to the public?”
Georgina crossed her legs, hugged her shoulders with her hands, and looked petite and exquisite in Yang Cheng's arms, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, one is that you didn't ask, and the other is that my father didn't let me disclose it at will, except for the core members of the party. And opponents,
Others don't know at all, and I don't know why they didn't announce it to the public. Maybe my father wanted to announce it when he announced his participation in the general election to attract attention. "
This reason makes sense and is reasonable, but Yang Cheng clearly knows that Michael Bloomberg is not among the final two candidates, which means that he was eliminated early, and he suddenly remembered that Michael Bloomberg Berger seemed to look down on Big Mouth, criticizing Big Mouth as a prodigal son who inherited the family business, and believed that Big Mouth's business philosophy was extremely naive, and its success was just a fluke.
From this point of view, with Michael Bloomberg's stubborn and domineering personality, it is very likely that he will stand on the side of the donkey party after being eliminated. I have to say that this is definitely a huge blow to the party.
"Anyway, you took advantage of my feelings, so you have to make it up to me!" Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Yang Cheng quickly stuck out his tongue and licked Georgina's round, pearl-like earlobe.
Georgina didn't care either, she just smiled charmingly, squeezed out a threat from between her teeth, "I'll make it up to you when the banquet is over, be honest now."
Yang Cheng shrugged. He was just joking. Even if Georgina used him, he didn't lose anything. It was just because he was a little uncomfortable being kept in the dark.
The subsequent auction was actually a disguised form of fundraising. This time, Yang Cheng was not stingy. No one would think that he was making a contribution to the donkey party just because of this little money. He spent more than 400,000 US dollars and bought a whole set of black pearls The jewelry is ready to go home and give to my mother.
A total of nearly 20 million U.S. dollars was raised in this auction. It is simply frenzied. Before the campaign started, it was easy to get 20 million U.S. dollars. This is much more efficient than robbing a bank.
After the auction was over, all the guests were led to the side hall. The waiters of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel emptied the banquet hall as quickly as possible. There will be a dance party in a while, and those who are willing to participate stay.
Originally, Yang Cheng was going to take Georgina to her private room upstairs to ask for compensation, but before she could take any steps, she was stopped by McCorbert who was looking for her in a hurry.
Yang Cheng said strangely, "I thought you weren't here, Mike, what's the matter?"
McCorbert looked at Georgina and hesitated, "There is indeed something."
Georgina knew that it was inconvenient for her to attend, so she talked to Yang Cheng on the phone for a while, then left with a smile, and went to catch up with her friends.
"Have you heard? At the banquet held by the Elephant Party, our Big Mouth in New York announced that he would run for the presidential election." McCorbert dragged Yang Cheng to a corner of the side hall, and said impatiently.
Yang Cheng was taken aback. Although he knew that Big Mouth was going to participate in the election, he didn't know exactly when the announcement would be made, but there was nothing surprising about it. He said indifferently, "I've been here and haven't received any news. If he wants to participate, he will participate, and it is not the first time."
McCorbert suddenly said anxiously, "The key is that he claims that he has received strong support from Yuanshan Capital."
"what?"
Now Yang Cheng didn't care about his manners, he was really shocked, and shouted out instantly, startling the people around him, he had no time to explain, the news from McCorbert caught him off guard.
I knew that big mouth was unreliable, but I didn't expect it to be damaged to this extent. I opened my eyes and said nonsense. This is to settle the facts in advance and drag the Yang family onto his broken boat.
However, seeing Yang Cheng's subconscious reaction, McCorbert was secretly relieved. When he received the news, his first reaction was to think that things were going to be bad, but then he felt that the Yang family would not be so stupid. At this time, he publicly stood in line, so he hurriedly followed Yang Cheng to find out the situation, but as he expected, Yang Cheng or the Yang family knew nothing about it.
"It looks like you don't know, that's good." McCorbert really thought about the Yang family. After all, he and Liu Muqian have been friends for many years, and most of Yuanshan's operating funds are deposited in Citibank. Reasonable, he should think about the high-quality partner of the Yang family. Besides, he is not a member of the donkey party, but a supporter of the donkey party. His involvement with the donkey party is not as deep as that of Jamie Dimon. The reason why he went with the donkey party The closeness is entirely in the interests of Citigroup.
Yang Cheng is not good at all, his face is dark and frightening, as if the end is coming, he can't wait to shave off all the golden hair in his big mouth, and use rubber to seal his big mouth firmly.
"Mike, what did that bastard say?" Yang Cheng took a few deep breaths in a row to calm himself down, and asked while tugging at McCorbert's arm.
McCorbert smiled wryly and broke free from Yang Cheng's restraint. He knew that that big mouth had completely offended Yang Cheng, which might be a blessing to the donkey party.
After thinking about it, he said truthfully, "I also heard from friends who attended the banquet that you and his son-in-law are very good brothers. You two are like-minded. After learning that he will participate in the new presidential election, you are willing to provide The best support, etc., my friends didn’t say everything.”
Yang Cheng's teeth were itching, he finally experienced the power of a big mouth, a broken mouth can revive a dead person! I have to admit that this tm is also a kind of technology!
"Okay, okay, okay, friend? Brother? Help me?"
Seeing that Yang Cheng was dazed, McCorbert muttered something angrily by himself, but he didn't dare to answer. Anyone who had this matter would be depressed for several days, a typical toad who doesn't bite and responds to others. !
Suddenly, Yang Cheng slapped his forehead and said to Mike Corbert, "No, I can't let the public opinion ferment. Once it spreads, it will be difficult to restore it. Mike, you have to help me."
McCorbett hesitated for a moment, but still felt obliged to pat his chest, "Okay, just tell me if you have anything to say."
Yang Cheng stared aggressively at him and said, "Introduce me to Mr. Richard Durbin!"
McCorbert's pupils shrank and his breathing was stagnant. He didn't know what Yang Cheng was going to do, but he was sure that the matter would not be small, because Richard Durbin is the donkey party~party~whip of the Senate, the real No. 3 figure in the donkey party !
