Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Prestige of Playing

Su Hao, the son of Su Wenjie's family, was ordered by Su Wenjie to be confined at home after he was released on bail, and he was not allowed to go anywhere.

In front of Su Wenjie, Su Hao accepted Su Wenjie's order like an obedient baby. How could Su Wenjie have time to stay at home and guard Su Hao? He handed over his son-in-law to his father-in-law, so he was busy with his own affairs .

Su Wenjie is busy. All the major and minor matters of Lanshen Technology are all on his shoulders. Let alone the matter of gifting Boise here, just talking about lobbying various members of Congress can make him burnt out.

Su Wenjie is a few years older than Feng Tianyou and others, has more social experience, and has spent a few more years in the United States. In the eyes of several younger brothers, he is an omnipotent big brother, and naturally he is omnipotent.

Su Wenjie did not live up to the expectations of these people. After arriving in Washington, things were booming in the DC area, and he managed several congressmen in a row. The trend was already one-sided, and even a little bit turned back. Let the group of young people from Lanshen Technology who are gradually looking higher than the top have to sigh, Jiang is still old and spicy, and Su Wenjie is indeed a horse, one of them is the best.

But in fact, Su Wenjie's family members know about his family affairs, so how can he be so godlike?

Not to mention that the Su Group is not a big company in the first place, with assets of more than 20 billion, it can barely be regarded as a big company in China, but in the United States, it has a volume of 3 billion US dollars. For example, in the small town of Boise, several of them can be caught at once.

When he was studying in the United States, he was just a little transparent, and he was only admitted to a state university, which could not be compared with the Ivy League universities in the United States. After graduation, he was a middle-level member of the Su Group. After entering Lanshen Technology, he was alone. Have you ever done such lofty things as lobbying members of Congress?

But even if he has never done it before, he still has to bite the bullet. If he doesn't do it, should he let Nan Ming do it by himself?

A boss like Nan Ming is unreliable!

If you ask him to lobby, he will definitely spread his hands: "You still let me go out, why do you want to support you?"

However, now the lazy gods have gained some fame after all, and their powered exoskeletons are really much better than Raytheon's, so after Su Wenjie appeared, several members who were not too firm turned their backs. That is already the limit.

Today Su Wenjie is going to meet with a congressman named Palomar. This congressman is a hard-headed congressman who always has his eyes above the top. Su Wenjie is ready to fight a tough battle.

Just at noon, he had already reserved a seat at the Charlie Palm Steakhouse near Capitol Hill. As soon as he arrived at a corner seat, the waiter came up and smiled and said, "Mr. Su, is it still the same today?"

Being able to open for so long near Capitol Hill, Charlie Palm Steakhouse is definitely more than just delicious food.

To be honest, the food here is really not very delicious. For Su Wenjie who has been with Nanming all day long and has already developed an appetite, the steak at Charlie's Steakhouse is just a so-so taste. The cost of about a hundred dollars is not too expensive, and politicians can't go to too extravagant places all day long, and some people feel that it will affect their own image.

Su Wenjie took a sip of the black tea brought up by the waiter, and carefully studied the information on Paloma.

This Paloma congressman is Hispanic. Su Wenjie wondered for a while whether he should choose what he likes later. First, he said a few words about Spain's global empire in its heyday, and felt that this Paloma might not like it. This kind of topic, frowning and thinking about how to open the topic.

After drinking some tea and reading the materials, Su Wenjie smacked his lips. Doesn't this taste right? The various teas that are common in China are not very authentic here, so Su Wenjie can only drink tea bags, at least it can refresh him a little.

But the tea bag I drank today is different from yesterday, it seems to have a stronger taste.

"Mr. Su, I changed the FAUCHON for you today. How does it taste?" Just as Su Wenjie frowned, he saw a supervisor in charge of the front office come over politely and asked.

"Oh, not bad..." Su Wenjie didn't know much about black tea, so he just nodded upon hearing this.

"As long as you like it, I specifically consulted Bud, and Bud said that you should like it." The supervisor said politely.

Bud is one of the two bartenders in charge of the bar. This bartender, as long as a customer comes once, can immediately remember the person's appearance and preferences. It is very powerful and can be said to be the top card in the entire Charlie Palm.

The supervisor actually went to personally prepare black tea that was more suitable for Su Wenjie's taste, which made Su Wenjie a little dazed.

The supervisor smiled and signaled not to disturb Su Wenjie, then bowed slightly, turned and left, Su Wenjie was a little puzzled.

Charlie Palm is next to the Capitol, and it feels similar to opening a restaurant directly on a square in China. There are countless big names here, and Su Wenjie can only be regarded as a small person here. These service personnel have received strict training, and they are sure to be polite. , but if there is more service, it will definitely not be given more.

If you give special service to others, what should you do if others are unhappy?

While Su Wenjie was still wondering, he saw another smiling middle-aged man in a handmade suit standing not far from him, and asked respectfully and politely: "Mr. Su, I don't know if I can Have a word with you?"

Su Wenjie was even more puzzled. Although he was here for the past few days, although he couldn't be called a little transparent, no one really approached him. After being stunned for two seconds, he motioned for the other party to sit down.

The other party was very respectful and clearly explained the purpose of coming - representing a family fund and cooperating with Lanshen Technology.

"Our foundation can mobilize tens of billions of funds, and the funds that can be influenced are nearly 100 billion. Even in the world, we have enough reputation. It has its own investment bank. I don't know if Lanshen Technology has cooperated with Our intention to cooperate?"

"Cooperation?" Su Wenjie was stunned for a moment. They Lanshen Technology is engaged in business, and these people are financiers and bankers. How can we cooperate with them?

"For example... investment? Loan? Financing? Joint venture into certain fields?" The other party said while probing Su Wenjie's expression, but did not see any surprises in Su Wenjie.

After Su Wenjie said that he would consider it, the man who knew that he had been declined, sighed and said: "Perhaps this is not the place to discuss in detail, Mr. Su, you have finished the work at hand, if you have time, please contact me……"

This man was just the first one. A few seconds after he left, a man sitting at the next table stood up again and said the same thing to Su Wenjie.

In the blink of an eye, four or five representatives of various investment banks, foundations, and business alliances took turns to contact Su Wenjie.

The last one had just sat down and hadn't said a word. When he saw the person walking in front of him, he immediately stood up with a smile and moved away from his seat. Su Wenjie looked up and saw that the person he was going to lobby this time, Congressman Palomar has arrived.

Su Wenjie didn't have time to think about how to start the topic at all just now. At this moment, he was suddenly a little nervous. After getting up, he shook hands with Paloma, called the waiter, and just after he ordered the food for Paloma, he heard Paloma mentioning to him Invited Zheng He to sail to the West.

"Countries like the Philippines were originally vassal states of China! If Zheng He had gone farther back then, Columbus would have had nothing to do..."

Su Wenjie was speechless.

If he remembered correctly, Columbus was a Spaniard. If it weren't for the appearance of Columbus, Spain would not have had the prosperity of the age of sailing.

This Pa Luojie belittled Columbus and exalted Zheng He—regardless of the facts, but from the perspective of Western countries, Columbus was more influential than Zheng He—the practice made Su Wenjie feel strangely familiar.

How do you feel... a bit like the representatives of the investment banks and funds before, a little flattering him?

He has always been in a company like Lanshen Technology, and being treated with a little compliment and a slightly lowered attitude is the most comfortable area for Su Wenjie. His brain was still tense, but at this moment it was activated all of a sudden, talking to Palo Mac And talking, it's a lot of fun.

A few minutes later, the two got to the point. Paloma raised some small conditions very cautiously, and then immediately expressed very seriously that he decided to support Lanshen Technology.

Su Wenjie was suddenly puzzled and felt absurd.

I have long heard that this Palomar congressman is very difficult to deal with. Not only is he harsh and mean, he is even a little violent, and even hit another congressman.

How could such a violent congressman be so easy to talk to? Is this the sun coming out in the west?

After Congressman Palomar defected, he immediately asked Su Wenjie with a smile, "Mr. Su, do you have any intention to cooperate with some consortiums in the United States?"

Su Wenjie understood immediately.

Every member of parliament has an interest group he represents behind him. If the interests of the interest group they represent are not touched and affected, the views of the member of parliament will naturally be persuaded by lobbyists.

But if certain important interests are touched, the attitude of the congressmen will become firm and will never be easily shaken.

"Let's talk in another place?" Su Wenjie's eyes moved. After all, this is a public place.

"No need." Paloma is very bachelor, "Actually, I am helping a friend as a lobbyist today, it has nothing to do with politics, nothing to do with politics..."

While saying the cover-up words that no one believed, Paloma blinked again: "I don't know the lazy gods, are you interested in Debitz...?"

Su Wenjie was tongue-tied, and after a while: "How do you say?"

Paloma smiled and said: "I don't know much about this, I just have a hypothesis..."

Paloma looks like a bronze statue of Columbus, with a big round face and a pair of small contemptuous eyes, but at this moment, he is as sincere as an innocent girl, staring at Su Wenjie: "If, I mean If Lanshen Technology is willing to suppress Debitz again, my friend will be very happy..."

"Haha..." Su Wenjie laughed, "Look at what you said, Debitz is a big company, no matter how much we suppress Debitz..."

He said haha, but Su Wenjie was like a mirror in his heart.

This is because some predators have taken a fancy to Debitz.

Debitz has one of the most powerful distribution systems, the most successful and mature sales case, and the most closed and monopolized market. Suppress the current Debitz, and then find a way to get it cheaply. Even if the diamonds are useless, they can still make rubies, sapphires and artificial gems...

As well as Debitz's huge influence in Africa, the appeal and influence in the luxury industry, this is a fortune.

Of course, the current Debitz is no longer as good as it used to be, but everything has its own value, mines are worthless, and the mining sector is worthless, but there are other ways to make money that can be found. There is.

Debitz is not worth tens of hundreds of billions of dollars. There must be billions of dollars. If it can be suppressed to the extreme, Debitz will shrink by more than half, and then more than a billion will be in the bag. Think of ways to reorganize and re-develop the market. After three to five years, whether you sell it or keep it for yourself, it will be a big money-making business.

After all, luxuries are necessities!

"How simple? Selling diamonds on eBay! The ones as big as a dollar!" Paloma clapped his hands suddenly, saying that it was as simple as selling instant noodles on eBay.

"It's difficult..." Su Wenjie said, "We are a small company, how can we suppress such a large consortium..."

Pretend, just pretend.

Paloma tried to gather more sincerity in his two contemptuous eyes, and stared at Su Wenjie: "Have you seen the current financial report of Debitz?"

Su Wenjie couldn't laugh or cry, who is he? A major shareholder of Debitz? Can you still see Debitz's financial report?

"I saw it." Paloma said very seriously. According to this financial report, analysts believe that Debitz is now powerless and will shrink to one-third of the previous one in three to six months. The speed will allow the shareholders of Debitz to find a way to sell Debitz, and if the crackdown is intensified, it can shrink to one-fifth or even one-tenth of the current price...

If you want to acquire Debitz, this is a price difference of tens of billions of dollars.

In half a year, the price difference is tens of billions, where can I find such a good job?

The key is to let Lazy Technology continue to fight!

"This... I have to go back and discuss it..." Paloma said simply, but selling diamonds on Taobao in China is different from selling diamonds on eBay in the United States. I don't know if there is any place that will trap people. Su Wenjie I dare not agree easily.

"Of course, of course." Paloma stretched out his fat palm and patted the back of Su Wenjie's hand, his ambiguous eyes made Su Wenjie's hairs stand on end: "I don't know if Lanshen Technology has any interest in suppressing other fields ? Is President Su unhappy about being a steak? Do you want to suppress some animal husbandry? Or else you are unhappy about selling cars? Suppress the arrogance of those auto manufacturers? What, I beg Mr. Su not to forget me, if you can tell me in advance..."

Paloma is very regretful. One is that Debitz is not a listed company, and its shares are not circulated in the stock market, which limits the operational capabilities of financiers to the greatest extent. up.

Another point is that I didn't know that Lanshen Technology was going to suppress Debitz. If Lanshen Technology had planned ahead of time before selling diamonds, maybe I could get some benefits.

For a big company like Debitz, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Right now, we only want to suppress one." Su Wenjie smiled and said, "Raytheon."

"I understand." Palomar nodded, "I am a staunch ally of Lazy God Technology!"
