Chapter 347 Party Whip

The term party whip first originated in England. In traditional hunting activities in Great Britain, someone followed the pack of hounds and waved his whip from time to time to warn the hounds that "deviated" to keep in formation. This person was called "whip hand".

The "party whip" first appeared in the British Parliament in the 17th century. At the end of the 19th century, the U.S. Congress began to establish this position. In 1897, Minnesota Republican Congressman James Tawney became the first U.S. House of Representatives whip. Two years later, Alaba Rep. Oscar Underwood of Maryland became the donkey party's first whip.

According to legend, the prototype of the hero of the American version of "House of Cards" is this Underwood.

In the United States, the party whip was mostly appointed by the party leader in the past, and it was not until 1986 that it became elected. The party whip can be a person or a team.

An expert who studied the American ZZ once described the party whip as "a person or a group of people holding a whip to maintain the formation." Very vividly depicts the function and importance of the party whip!

To further explain, the party whip is part of the operation of the U.S. Congress. It is equivalent to the second in command, or it may be the third in command. Generally, the party whip is only in charge of the inside and not the outside. The party whip in the United States is mainly to implement intra-party policy coordination, election mobilization, consensus building and Other auxiliary work.

Just like Underwood in "House of Cards", although he has "hands and eyes in the sky", he is more often behind the scenes. The same is true in reality. They are extremely low-key, and their names are rarely found in the media.

Above the party whip, there is also the top leader of the party named "party leader", and in both houses, because the party with the majority of seats will also occupy the position of "speaker", so in this case, the party whip can only condescend to sit third.

Richard Durbin, whom Yang Cheng asked McCorbert to help meet with, is the well-deserved No. 3 figure in the Donkey Party in reality. He has been in power for 10 years and has unparalleled influence in the White House, the two houses, and the Donkey Party. , is the big boss among the big bosses, like Felix Morgenthau who caused a lot of trouble for Yang Cheng before, if it weren't for the influence of the family and the Jews, he wouldn't even be qualified to have a direct dialogue with Richard Durbin ! Not exaggerating at all.

Of course, whether it is the second child or the third child, the party whip is a member of the first echelon of Congress, not just a transactional role, he (or they) is a strong or even powerful policy promoter, in order to achieve ZZ The purpose is to mobilize all resources in the party, use unscrupulous threats and inducements, and even create various accidents, causing the death of opponents. He is a top trader hidden behind the scenes.

That's why McCorbett was so surprised that ordinary little things don't need to see the party whip at all, and even Jamie Dimon can do it.

"Are you sure?" McCorbert confirmed solemnly.

"Of course!" Yang Cheng replied even more resolutely.

McCorbert didn't try to persuade him anymore, even if it was for Liu Muqian's face, he would help introduce him, "Okay, go back and wait for my news, you also know that there are too many internal affairs in the party at the end of the year, and your meeting time will not Too much, and you'll have to fly to DC."

"I understand, just make an appointment with Mike for me."

Watching McCorbert leave, he thought for a while without leaving the corner, took out his cell phone and called Felix Morgenthau.

After waiting for a full minute, the call was connected. Morgenthau's tone was very blunt, "What's the matter?"

Yang Cheng didn't take it seriously, "Mr. Morgenthau, did you also attend the Xiangdang dinner?"

"What do you mean?"

"Help me pass a message to your party. The Yang family has never promised any help to Mr. Big Mouth. The Yang family has maintained a neutral position from the beginning to the end."

The other side was silent for a while, Felix Morgenthau said with a playful smile, "Why should I help you?"

Yang Cheng sneered, he was not in the mood to argue with the old fox, and said bluntly, "If the Xiang Party doesn't mind the Yang family completely falling into the arms of the Donkey Party, you can completely pretend that you didn't answer this call."

After speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for Morgenthau's response. He believed that the old fox was not demented, and he knew how to choose!

think about it,

He still felt that it was not safe enough, so he called Georgina back, explained the matter roughly, and asked her to help spread the news in New York, try to disassociate the relationship with the Big Mouth family as much as possible, and confuse the public at worst. The news about Yuanshan standing in line with the elephant party is one-sided.

After that, he ordered the vice president on duty of New Era Media to cut off all business ties with Chuan~Pu Group, even if he paid liquidated damages.

After this frenzied bombardment of phone calls, he still felt angry, and this tone had to be comfortable on Big Mouth, letting him know how many eyes Prince Ma has!

However, it is impossible to beat someone by hand. You can only start with the people or assets around him.

His eldest daughter can't move, this man has a serious femme fatale;

His son is a good-for-nothing snack, not worthy of Yang Cheng doing it himself;

Chuan~Pu Group's influence and size are not small, if you really want to move it, you don't have to think about the layout for a few months;

MD, based on this calculation, the damn big mouth is still a bit invulnerable?

"Still sulking?" Georgina also came back from the phone call, and saw that Yang Cheng was still standing alone in the corner with his waist pinched, with a dead face as if he was owed tens of billions.

Yang Cheng came back to his senses, put his arms around Georgina's slender waist, and said through gritted teeth, "I have to teach Big Mouth a lesson, some things can be said, and some things can't be said indiscriminately."

Georgina pinned a strand of blond hair behind her ears, thinking that her relationship with Ivanka was not bad, so she persuaded, "Forget it, I believe Mr. Chuan~Pu will restrain himself after we talk outside. of."

Yang Cheng glanced lightly, "You actually speak for that family?"

"I~wan~ka and I are friends." Georgina explained while holding Yang Cheng's arm.

"That's right, you call Yi Wan Ka and ask her father to stand up and explain, saying that what you said at the dinner party is drunk and cannot be taken seriously."

"Do you think that's possible?"

"Then why should I be patient?"

For a while, Yang Cheng and Georgina fell into a deadlock, and no one could convince the other.

After a long while, it was Georgina who gave way first, breaking the deadlock and persuading, "Well, I'll talk to Yi~wan~ka tomorrow to discuss a way to get the best of both worlds, don't rush to do it first, the Chuan~Pu family has run several businesses in New York. Ten years is not so easy."

Yang Cheng pondered for a moment, "I'm not so stupid as to target the entire Chuan~Pu Group, I just want to give them a little color, and they will be punished if they say something wrong."

Seeing the change in Georgina's eyes, which was a sign of getting angry, she quickly gave in, "Okay, okay, you go talk to your best friend first, it will be better if the talk comes out, otherwise don't blame me for disregarding friendship, after all, we grew up together big."

. . .

On the second day of Christmas, Yang Cheng showed up at George Bush Airport in Houston early in the morning. Last night, because of the bad thing about Big Mouth, he was not in the mood to relive old dreams with Georgina, and went home at ***** After tossing and turning all night, before dawn, I flew to Dexus to meet my family at my grandfather's ranch.

Compared with the large ranch of more than 50,000 acres in Texas, the ranch that Yang Yuanshan bought more than 20 years ago, covering an area of ​​just over 12,000 acres, is much smaller. Of course, this is also a relative comparison.

Yang Yuanshan’s ranch is built on the mountain. The whole ranch includes a lake view villa with an area of ​​3600 square meters. The lake view villa is surrounded by a lake with a large number of bricks and stones. The lake water is introduced into the inner courtyard of the villa by clever use of the drop, forming a small artificial garden. Waterfalls and streams flow into the indoor koi pond. Every friend who visits the ranch is amazed by this exquisite design.

In addition, guest villas with a total area of ​​10,000 square meters are built around lakes and lakes, with different landscapes and unique interior decorations. Tennis courts and golf courses are all available. Of course, cattle and sheep are indispensable. Needless to say, there are more than 5,000 Angus cattle, 2,000 Merino sheep, and 1,000 Lincoln sheep.

In particular, it is pointed out that the 1,000 Lincoln sheep are specially used to produce wool and are specially supplied to the LVMH Group. This breed of long-haired sheep originating in Lincolnshire in the east of England has the characteristics of strong physique, tall body, and well-proportioned structure. Occasional small black spots, because of its thick, curved, silky luster wool characteristics, it was used by the British upper class to make tapestries and high-end blankets very early.

Later, due to various factors such as wars, the pastures for breeding Lincoln sheep became increasingly rare. Today, there are very few pastures that can raise purebred Lincoln sheep in groups around the world. Therefore, as a supplier of this precious raw material, Even if there is no relationship with Liu Yun, the LVMH Group will focus on it.

As soon as Yang Cheng's Mercedes-Benz drove into the pasture, it was blocked by a group of Angus cattle that were moving to the water source. Yang Cheng, who had been playing in the pasture since childhood, suddenly became interested and jumped out of the car to follow a few riders on the pasture. The cowboy on the horse said hello, smelling the familiar smell of cow dung, a sense of kindness emerged spontaneously.

Especially when Yang Cheng saw the cowboy throwing the cowboy handsomely, he couldn't help blowing his whistle, sending the best encouragement to the cowboy. When he was a child, he used to pester the cowboy to learn, but it's a pity that he didn't have this talent, otherwise Yang Yuanshan's Personality, why not tie your grandson to the ranch and train him as the heir of the cowboy.

It took more than half an hour for Wuyang Wuyang's cattle to walk slowly in front of Yang Cheng. Yang Cheng didn't find it annoying, and it was fun to tease the cattle dogs occasionally.

Finally came to the lake view villa in the center of the ranch. Yang Cheng got out of the car and rushed into the living room. Before anyone saw him, the voice came first, "Grandpa, your cattle raising skills are getting better and better."

Yang Yuanshan stroked his beard with a smile, and asked proudly while smoking a pipe, "So, did you see a herd of cows when you came in?"

Yang Cheng nodded again and again, "Enen, they are all strong and good guys. They seem to weigh more than 300 kilograms. They should be fattening soon, right?"

Yang Yuanshan took a puff of cigarette and said with a relieved smile, "Okay, I still haven't forgotten the knowledge about raising cattle that I taught you when I was a child. Damn the weather, the cows are warmer outside than in the barn, which is not conducive to gaining weight and can’t sell for a good price.”
