Chapter 355 DC's First Snow
"Don't worry, Richard, you should understand that we Chinese are always willing to make friends, and we treat friends with warmth like a spring breeze. You don't have to worry that we will harm you, let alone that we will use you to do dangerous things. This transaction is only It is a transaction, and what our relationship will be like in the future will depend on time to prove it."
Yang Cheng's tone is extremely sincere, coupled with a solemn look, giving people a sense of peace of mind and reliability, but Richard Durbin knows that this young man who is as cunning as a fox is by no means a kind person. He must cooperate with a fox. Adhering to the 120% vigilance mentality, I have to put a pistol under the pillow when I sleep like this, for fear of being hit with a sap, and I don’t know how to die.
However, as Yang Cheng said, this is only the first tentative contact and transaction between the two parties. Besides, even if Yang Cheng asks Richard Debin to do something, he will not agree. Money is more important. After all, it is a brand new multinational bank with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars, and its head office is in Switzerland, the safest financial haven in the world. Richard scratched his head and couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
"Well, Jason, I wish us a happy cooperation. I will persuade the party to agree to your acquisition of those ten banks as soon as possible. The Fed needs our joint efforts. Of course, you said that you have a way to let them Pass, I am waiting for your performance."
Yang Cheng got up and shook hands with Richard heavily, "Don't worry, there is me at the Xiangdang Party, and I will fulfill the conditions I promised you Donkey Party, New Era Media's C round of financing will be completed next year It will be completed within the first quarter, and the specific time will be arranged separately, so please be patient.”
"I understand Jason. Besides, if there is a chance, I wonder if you can introduce Mr. Liu Muqian for me. I have admired this legendary figure in the banking field for a long time." Richard also replied with a smile on his face, but he I suddenly asked to see my grandfather, but I don't know what the intention is.
"Of course, I think grandpa must be very happy to meet you. He lives in Texas recently. If you have a trip to Texas, Richard, I can help you arrange it."
"I see, then we will call when the time comes."
"OK, then I will withdraw first, good luck."
"good luck."
. . .
Standing on the Capitol Hill, Yang Cheng was blowing the cold winter wind, and couldn't help feeling chills. These stupid politicians actually started planning for the general election two years in advance. They really fell into the trap set by the other side by accident.
There is no doubt that CW TV station is an attractive big cake, and Yang Cheng also has enough appetite to eat it, but after that? How should it be digested? Being at the mercy of the donkey gang, becoming the mouthpiece of the donkey gang, or even a marionette? This was not what he wanted. The main purpose of meeting Richard Durbin was to use him to achieve the bank's goals, not to join in the bullshit ZZ struggle. He didn't want to play, and he couldn't afford it.
He snorted coldly, glanced back at the direction of Richard Durbin's office in the Capitol, and stepped into the car. He knew that there would never be fewer opportunities to come here in the future, and the mutual calculations with Richard Durbin would be justified. At first, did you really think that his position as the whip of the donkey party was for nothing? Was easily persuaded by Yang Cheng's few words? Those are all appearances. A smooth process only means that the other party is willing to cooperate, not that you are capable. Yang Cheng still has this self-knowledge.
However, no matter how much dissatisfaction and contempt for CW TV station is in the heart, it cannot be denied that New Era Media has such an urgent need for the TV network. Unpredictable, as Richard Debin said, using his few memories, it is not difficult to create one or two hot spots for CW TV station, expand the content of the time period, and strive to make CW a TV station comparable to ABC/CBS/NBC Afterwards, the fourth full-time TV station won not only a large base of users and advertising fees, but also a straight rise in the status of the Yang family.
In the past, the Yang family wanted to win one of the five major TV networks on their own.
Even CW, a rotten piece of shit, has no way. Racial discrimination has no threshold and no class. How can a white supremacist society allow Chinese families to control the terminals of public opinion.
But it’s different now, with the donkey gang behind it, the acquisition of CW will no longer be a whimsical thing, but the premise for them to help you is in-depth cooperation, otherwise why would you let you acquire it? Is $1.5 billion a lot? Media groups that can spend 1.5 billion in cash abound in North America and around the world, and the Yang family is not the only choice.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng felt in a dilemma. There was a big piece of cake in front of him, but he didn't want to eat it or not. The depressed Yang Cheng was about to bang his head against the wall.
I don’t know when, the sky was covered with a layer of smog, and the fluttering, eloquent snowflakes were falling all over the sky. It didn’t take long for DC to become a fairy tale world covered in silver. This is the first time since DC entered winter. The snow, although not in time for Christmas, is not too late. Ruixue has decorated the world into a holy white, the waterfalls in the park have also been frozen into crystal icicles, and the trees on the street are beautiful and romantic.
Yang Cheng ordered the driver to make a detour to a Chinese restaurant, packed all kinds of ingredients and pot bottoms, and prepared to go back to the hotel to eat hot pot. It would be a great pity not to eat hot red hot pot in such weather.
In just such a short period of time, the thick snow piled up on the side of the road like a wool blanket. Many young people rushed to the street to build snowmen and have snowball fights regardless of the cold. Suffering, the speed slowed down a lot, and the narrow alley even blocked the car, which made Yang Cheng, who was sitting in the car, smelling the tempting aroma of the hot pot bottom, wished to run back to the hotel with the ingredients, and couldn't bear it. My stomach growled in protest.
Finally, after a delay of more than half an hour, she returned to the hotel under Yang Cheng's constant urging, and carried the ingredients back to the room with the bodyguard and driver. Georgina's saliva was about to flow out of her eyes.
"Stop watching, help prepare." Yang Cheng knew that Georgina had eaten hot pot, so she took the trouble to ask her if she liked it. You could tell by the expression that her eyes were about to fall into the pot, and it was useless to ask. ask.
Yi Wan came back with Yang Cheng, with extremely complicated expressions, mixed feelings of grievance, anger, and helplessness, and he didn't feel embarrassed to disturb Yang Cheng when he saw him busy, but just stood aside like a pupil who was punished.
After finally waiting for Yang Cheng to find her, what she waited for was an angry sentence that she almost stabbed someone with a knife, "Why are you standing there, hurry up and eat, and wait for me to feed you in person? This is authentic SC hot pot, absolutely It’s not comparable to cheese shabu-shabu, if you have anything to say, wait until the meal is over.”
Ivan threw away the plastic bag containing the ingredients angrily, and sat at the dining table without saying a word. Georgina held back a smile and handed over a pair of chopsticks.
Yang Cheng didn't bother to talk to each other, his mind was full of red, spicy and crispy hot pot, and it didn't go well with the ice and snow outside.
Of course, he also considered that the two girls can't eat spicy food, so he specially bought a mandarin duck pot from that Chinese restaurant, and poured it with base soup and sauce.
The ingredients were opened and filled the entire dining table. Before the pot opened, Yang Cheng couldn't wait to put in the ingredients, all kinds of vegetables, tofu, and his favorite fat beef were so stuffed that the soup almost overflowed.
The fat beef is sliced very thinly. Even if the pot is not boiled, it doesn’t take long for the color to change. I don’t care about the soup. I pick up the fat beef with a chopstick and dip it in the sesame seafood sauce. The spicy stimulation makes the pores of the whole body open, refreshing Yang Cheng can't help himself, and with a can of cold beer, everything is satisfied.
Georgina and Ivan are also loyal hot pot lovers, but they can't show the madness of Yang Cheng, and the movements of their hands are not slow. They are picking vegetables in the white mushroom soup pot to eat, and the speed of small bites is not at all slow. Falling behind with Yang Cheng.
"It's delicious~" Georgina's mouth was full of oil, her eyes were curved into a smile, and she exclaimed while steaming.
Ivan's movements seem much more elegant, but since the pot was opened, her seductive mouth has never stopped, and her cheeks are always bulging. Obviously, food is the best solution to any dispute in this world. good medicine.
The three of them ate in full swing, compared with the weather outside, it was as cold as fire. Yang Cheng even took off his clothes, lowered the indoor temperature, and threw off his shoulders to make a big fight.
At the beginning, the two women could still maintain the reservedness unique to women, but when they got excited, they didn't care too much. Their hair was disheveled, their clothes were ~ half ~ uneasy, and they began to try Yang Cheng's spicy hot bottom. Yang Cheng was so happy to eat the duck, but Yang Cheng specially asked the restaurant to adjust the soup base to an abnormally spicy one, which was both spicy and spicy. Not to mention foreigners, even authentic Sichuan-Chongqing people can't stand it.
It took 2 hours to eat a hot pot feast before leaving a mess on the table. Yang Cheng and the three of them occupied a sofa in a very unimpressive manner, staring at the white ceiling in a daze. The gaze made people feel pity, and they thought that the three of them had suffered some tragic blow.
After resting for a while, Yang Cheng stood up, took out the iced tea that had been put in early from the refrigerator, and poured a cup for each person, "I don't want to wake up with acne all over my face, so I should hurry up and drink tea. sharp weapon."
When they heard that there might be abnormalities in their skin, the two women dared to continue lying down. They sat up and held the tea cups, and drank it down until there was not a drop left. Only then did they feel that the temperature of the tea was too low. The teeth were sour and numb from the cold.
Yang Cheng, on the other hand, had been prepared for a long time, holding the teacup leisurely, taking a sip for a while, looking at Ivan who was facing each other under the murderous eyes of the two women, and asked, "I've eaten the meal, how long is the distance?" Two hours have passed since the time we agreed upon, should you give me an answer now? God bless you, it must be the answer I want to hear."
