Chapter 836 Xia Yu's Suggestion

Chapter 836 Xia Yu's Suggestion

Time gradually passed. On July 7, a major event happened in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government officially ordered that in order to standardize the financial order in Hong Kong and improve the financial development environment in Hong Kong, it was decided to merge the four stock exchanges. The new stock exchange will be Named the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

After this decision was announced, the whole Xiangjiang shook.

However, Xia Yu knew about this for a long time, and ordered his subordinates of banks and securities companies to pay close attention and wait for opportunities to participate, at least to get the name of a member of the exchange committee.

Of course, Xia Yu also knows that the Heung Kong Stock Exchange only exists on paper, with only one name, and even the committee has not been established. The four stock exchanges will continue to operate until April 1986, when the Heung Kong Stock Exchange The exchange will be officially listed for operation, and all other exchanges will be shut down.

After careful calculation, if he does not interfere with the advancement, there are still five years and nine months before that time, which is still early!

After instructing Xia Yu to pay attention, Xia Yu immediately forgot about it and continued to work in the United States.

Today I will follow up with Seattle Computer Products Company, tomorrow will follow up with Polaris Capital Corporation, the day after tomorrow will be the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the day after tomorrow will be the Galaxy Fund branch... Xia Yu's life has been quite fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, in mid-July, the Republican National Convention in the United States arrived as scheduled.

Xia Yu watched the whole process in front of the TV.

That's right, the National Congress of the Republican Party in the United States is directly open to the entire United States through the TV network. This is also a good publicity opportunity to let voters in the United States know who the Republican presidential candidate is.

In the past ten days, not only George Bush gave up, but many other candidates have been successfully completed by the Republican leader Benjamin Carr. They chose to give up the campaign in order to take into account the overall situation. Of course, some of them refused to give up.

But supporters of the candidates who dropped out were persuaded to vote for Ronald Wilson Reagan at the National Convention.

Therefore, when Ronald Reagan spoke on the podium as the first nominee candidate, the number of votes quickly exceeded 1,237 votes, directly locking in the identity of the Republican presidential candidate. Vice made a natural expression.

Although Ronald Reagan sealed the victory, it does not mean that he will be able to represent the Republican Party in the national election. Other independent candidates also have a chance.

Whether it is possible or not depends on whether Ronald Reagan can hold steady in the next four months.

According to the past elections, scandals, smashing of leather shoes, etc. will happen. If the Democratic Party breaks out his huge scandal later, it is not impossible for the Republican Party to change its support.

Therefore, after the Republican National Convention, two more people stood up in a high-profile manner, declaring in front of the media that they would never give up until the last moment, and would run for the presidency as an independent Republican candidate. One of them was Republican Congressman John B. Anderson, one is Republican Senator Polk Coster.

Two days later, the Democratic National Convention was held in New York. In the end, incumbent President Jimmy Carter won the Democratic Party's presidential nomination and will represent the Democratic Party in the elections in the next few months.

The identities of the two parties' presidential candidates have been determined, so the next most important thing is to quickly form a campaign team.

This campaign team will not be bigger than the previous campaign team.

Those who didn't make a bet will put down the last shred of restraint and choose to join two teams.

And the interviewers for these two teams were none other than Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.

The team candidate who needs to be determined most is the vice presidential candidate!

In Washington, Xia Yu met Ronald Reagan again. Ronald Reagan, who had won a stage victory, was high-spirited. Although he was sixty-nine years old, he looked energetic with his black hair.

However, in the face of Xia Yu, the big sponsor, his attitude was still the same as before, not arrogant, but rather enthusiastic.

"Mr. Xia, you are welcome, please come in!"

"Our future Mr. President, it's a pleasure to see you again!"

"It's too early, Jimmy Carter is the current president, I want to run successfully, there's still a long way to go..."

"Mr. Reagan, I don't think Jimmy Carter will be your match,"

After the two gently hugged and greeted each other, Ronald Reagan welcomed Xia Yu and others in.

"Boss, good morning!"

At this time, Rhodes Saxon, Ronald Reagan's financial adviser, said hello to Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response to his subordinates.

"Good morning, Rhodes, you've worked so hard this time!"

"It's not hard, this is what I should do..."

Soon, the group came to the living room to drink coffee and chat. Of course, the topic has always revolved around the presidential campaign.

"Mr. Reagan, in the next election, who are you going to find as your partner, such as the vice president?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Xia Yu put down the cup and asked with a smile.

Ronald Reagan's smile faded, his expression became serious, he looked at Xia Yu and shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet, the candidate is still under investigation, Mr. Xia, you should understand that although this position is in the constitution There was no specific power, and it didn't even exist in the early days, but in this day and age, this position is important, and a good vice president will affect the presidential campaign and post-election term."

Xia Yu nodded and said: "I know what you said. Although you have obtained the resources of the Republican Party, the resources of the Republican Party are still limited. The United States is a country of capital. You need to get enough support from the consortium."

Ronald Reagan said calmly: "Yes!"

After speaking, he asked back, "Mr. Xia, do you have any suggestions?"

Xia Yu thought for a while, then nodded slightly and said, "I really have a suggestion."

Ronald Reagan raised his brows, became interested, and asked, "I don't know who can get your approval from Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yu smiled faintly and said a name: "Your former competitor, George Bush."

Ronald Reagan was surprised. He didn't expect Xia Yu to recommend this person, but he knew that George Bush had given up the presidential campaign and called him half a month ago.

And if nothing else, George Bush is now probably on vacation in Hawaii.

Half a month ago, after George Bush congratulated him, he asked casually, and George Bush told him at that time that he had been tense for so long and planned to take his wife to relax.

Ronald Reagan quickly flashed a few possibilities in his mind, looking at Xia Yu with burning eyes, wanting to know the reason: "Mr. Xia, why do you think he would be suitable? He ran for a presidential candidate before!"

Xia Yu asked back with a smile: "Mr. Reagan, although he participated in the presidential election and lost to you, but think about it from another position, if there is a vice president position for you, would you like to come?"

Ronald Reagan thought for a moment, shrugged and said, "I don't think I would say no. It would be a huge political capital, and there are many precedents for going from vice president to president."

"Isn't that what it is?"

"Mr. Reagan, of all the Republican presidential candidates this time around, George Bush is the most suitable partner for you."

"His political views are the closest to you, and because he has served as a diplomat in many countries, he has a very broad international vision. If you are a partner, the two of you can form a very good complementarity."

"The most important thing is that the Bush family not only has great energy in the political field, but also the Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium. As long as you pull George Bush by your side, then you will have a great chance. Get the resources of the Texas Consortium!"

Ronald Reagan was thoughtful, thinking about Xia Yu's words carefully, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt.

Seeing the change in Ronald Reagan's complexion, the corner of Xia Yu's mouth slightly raised.

Originally, the matter of choosing the vice president was to be discussed and suggested within his team, and finally Ronald Reagan made the final decision on who to use.

Unlike the presidential candidates, the choice of the vice presidential nominee is entirely in Ronald Reagan's hands, as if he were the boss, interviewing and recruiting employees.

Of course, other people can also give advice, so Xia Yu's proposal now is not overstepping at all.

After a long time, Ronald Reagan came back to his senses. Looking at the smiling Xia Yu, he said solemnly, "Mr. Xia, your suggestion is very pertinent, and I will consider it carefully."

"By the way, Mr. Xia, do you know George Bush?"

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know him at all. Of course I'm looking forward to getting to know him."

Ronald Reagan nodded, regardless of what Xia Yu said was true or false, and said, "Okay, I am good friends with him, I think he will definitely want to know you."

Xia Yu said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to that day!"

After laughing, Xia Yu changed the subject: "Mr. Reagan, in the next four months, I will let my media company do its best to cheer for you. If you are campaigning for money, I will sponsor you another 10 million dollars. into your campaign account in a reasonable manner within a month."

Ronald Reagan was pleasantly surprised, his affection for Xia Yu has been increasing, and he is indeed a bold boss. He has never demanded him, but he is the one who supports you from beginning to end, and the support can not help but be very straightforward. .

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your great support, I will never forget your help to me!" Ronald Reagan said gratefully.

"Mr. Regan, you deserve my support, and aren't we friends?" Xia Yu said with a light smile.

Ronald Reagan nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, you will always be my friend, one of the most important friends in my life!"

"Let's replace wine with coffee and toast our friendship!"

"Cheers! Friendship is forever!"

Xia Yu smiled and raised the cup.

"Bang!"

...

"Rhodes, you still need to work hard to help Mr. Regan."

After celebrating, Xia Yu said to Rhodes Saxon, who had been listening next to him.

Xia Yu was not in a commanding tone, although Rhodes Saxon was originally just a financial elite, but now he is only a member of Ronald Reagan's team.

But Youdao is one person who wins the throne. As long as Ronald Reagan takes office, Rhodes Saxon will leap into the White House and become a senior politician, and he will also be the kind of confidant of the president.

Rhodes Saxon also knew that his mission and future depended on Ronald Reagan, so he reassured him: "Don't worry, boss, I will fully support Mr. Reagan."

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Rhodes has been doing a good job. I am very satisfied with his work."

"That would be great."
