Chapter 2460 A Lively Prelude

Like all countries, American politicians also enjoy many privileges in many aspects. Feng Yiping's Gulfstream has not landed in Silicon Valley yet, but many people have already received the news.

The first person to know about it was naturally Schwarzenegger in Sacramento.

These days, he and his team are like ants on a hot pot, anxious and restless.

The news released by the big mouth Musk made them feel like they were dying, but a person who kept his word could not be contacted, and they could not hear a single accurate word.

Although some things have been done, these things have not achieved much results at present. For example, the two federal senators in California have not publicly expressed their support for Tesla.

Among the dozens of other federal congressmen, several Republicans have stood up to express their opinions, but most of the congressmen, obviously due to the control of Speaker Pelosi, have not made clear statements at present.

This strength, even in Schwarzenegger's view, will definitely not satisfy Feng Yiping and others.

Take Nevada, which is currently the most excited state. From the state government, state legislature to federal lawmakers, they often form groups to support Tesla in the media and welcome Tesla. They all hold hands and sing loudly, "I'm waiting for you to come here."

And you have to know that Musk clearly said at the time that the federal lawmakers in California were not supportive enough for Tesla.

Now, it's finally good. The person who can be the master of the house is back. Schwarzenegger, who got Feng Yiping's flight information, decided to go to Silicon Valley immediately. No matter what, he must meet Feng Yiping.

He didn't expect to get a positive answer from Feng Yiping this time. They naturally understood that the reason why Musk released such news was largely to bargain with the states. Before they explored the bottom line of the states, they could not have a clear commitment.

Because Schwarzenegger and his team knew very well that, apart from the various titles and halos on Feng Yiping and Musk's heads, they were essentially the most successful businessmen.

The most successful businessmen may not be the most shrewd, but they are definitely good at maximizing their interests.

However, Schwarzenegger and his team did not have such a big goal as to hope for Feng Yiping's explicit promise: Tesla will stay in California.

Their goal was really not high. They just hoped that Feng Yiping could at least make a clear or unclear promise or indicate that California was not excluded and was still on the candidate list.

The night Feng Yiping arrived in Silicon Valley, the lights in the conference room and many offices in the Little White House in Sacramento were on all night.

…………

Because of the time difference, it was already dinner time when the relevant people in Washington got the news.

For a senior figure like Feinstein who serves as the chairman of an important Senate committee, getting off work often means the beginning of a busy life.

Hollywood nights are full of various parties, and Washington nights are no exception. The two places have another thing in common: the themes of many parties are related to charity and environmental protection.

The most recognized environmental protection topic at present is naturally climate change.

The most attractive thing about the climate issue with energy conservation and emission reduction as the core is that it is a big basket like human rights issues, and any problem can be put into it.

Feinstein attended a climate-themed party tonight. She was holding a wine glass and wandering in the hall of this mansion, which is so spacious that it can be used as a basketball court. She stopped occasionally to chat with some colleagues who she had not met on Capitol Hill during the day.

Such seemingly random and casual behaviors are actually pre-arranged meetings. For them, the so-called encounters do not exist.

Often, for many tasks, the teams of both sides have already communicated fully, just waiting for these big guys to meet and make a decision.

So often in a few short sentences, they have decided on some not-so-simple issues.

It was just a matter of chatting and laughing, and they easily decided on some major events that may even cause international repercussions. Feinstein personally enjoyed this feeling, and she believed that many of her colleagues also enjoyed this feeling.

This is the pleasure that public power can bring to people.

This is also one of the reasons why Schwarzenegger and Bloomberg are willing to bear huge economic losses and participate in public office campaigns.

The last person she was going to meet was also an old acquaintance, a lobbyist from one of the many public relations companies in Washington.

This can be said to be a job that is more closely related to her interests, and such occasions are the best place for collusion.

The man in a suit in front of her, who exudes mature masculine charm, is employed by Wall Street.

These days, a large number of people who shuttle on Capitol Hill are employed by Wall Street.

Wall Street can still stand firm after experiencing many storms, and its strength is getting stronger and stronger, which has a lot to do with their willingness to invest in public officials like Feinstein.

Although everyone cannot imagine how difficult the days next year will be, it is naturally necessary to do the work in advance and communicate with these influential congressmen in advance.

In this way, if relevant bills that are beneficial or unfavorable to them are to be introduced in the future, they will get the support of the congressmen in time.

However, the man in front of her is employed by Black Rock.

According to the feedback from the office, they seem to be planning to raise the price.

But he was interrupted by applause just after he started talking to Feinstein. They turned their eyes to the center of the crowd and saw the former vice president standing in the middle. At this time, he looked a little sloppy because he had grown a big beard.

However, the vice president, whose image had changed drastically, was in very good condition at this time. Even through his big beard, you could see his face was full of red.

On October 12, the Norwegian Nobel Prize Committee announced that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and Gore were the winners of the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize.

This is the fourth presidential figure in American history to win the Nobel Prize, and the first former vice president in American history to win this honor.

This is also the former head of government of the United States who won the Nobel Peace Prize after former President Jimmy Carter won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

In any case, this is a very rare honor for Gore.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the rise in global temperatures caused by our uncontrolled activities in recent years has never been so clear..."

Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize mainly for his efforts on climate change. The documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" he shot last year, which won the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, can be said to have played a decisive role.

So it is not surprising that his speech tonight is inseparable from climate change.

Fan Shidan looked at the former vice president who was somewhat frustrated politically, and his comrades in the party, and listened to his undisguised criticism of some of the current government's practices, and felt a little envious.

Only people like him who no longer hold public office would make such remarks without scruples and do something more or less purely.

For example, Fan Shidan would not generally make such remarks. You know, the fees paid by oil companies to Washington public relations companies every year are always among the top.

At this time, the assistant hurried in and whispered a few words in her ear. Feinstein immediately said, "Cancel all your schedules for tomorrow and prepare to go to San Francisco." Originally, she planned to stay in San Francisco for a few more days and visit Tesla as soon as Feng Yiping or one of the other Tesla employees came back. However, she also wanted to save face, so waiting was not in line with her status. But since Feng Yiping had already returned to Silicon Valley, she didn't need to be reserved, because she could imagine that there must be too many people waiting to see Feng Yiping, for example, her colleague and opponent, another California Senator Boxer, would not miss such an opportunity. She is the chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and a staunch environmentalist. If she was a little reserved, she might get nothing left of the relevant benefits. The lobbyist employed by Black Rock vaguely heard the exchange between Feinstein and his assistant, and immediately felt that he should quickly put forward his own conditions, and hurriedly said, "Diana (Finstein's name), we..." At this time, on Wall Street, Lawrence Fink also confirmed that Goldman Sachs's Lauer and Morgan Stanley's Xia Jinheng hurried to Palm Beach just to meet Feng Yiping. He immediately picked up the phone angrily...
