Chapter 920 Four Major Financial Groups Behind the Scenes

Although tonight's dance party at the Washington Convention Center officially started at 7:00 pm, Xia Yu knew very well that tonight's party was actually two, or two levels.

The largest conference hall in the Washington Convention Center is enough to accommodate 20 to 30 thousand people. Although the ball held in this conference hall is one of the three official balls to celebrate the inauguration of the president, it is very wide-ranging and the threshold for participation is not low. , but not the highest, mainly for the middle and high-level forces supporting Ronald Reagan.

According to past practice, the new president will usually come to the ball to show up for a few minutes, and he will lead a dance, and then disappear after a few words, led by other senior officials of the White House or the Republican Party.

Of course Xia Yu didn't come to participate in this kind of dance.

He participated in the heavyweight dance held in the internal medium-sized conference room, and the people who could get the invitation to the dance were almost people who stood at the top of the nation's full strength, such as the super-big money owner behind Ronald Reagan, or the super-big players. group leader.

Faced with these people, even Ronald Reagan must be accompanied by heart, and he will be here most of the night.

Other people with political ambitions also want to squeeze into this dance. If they can get in touch with a few super big money lords and consortium leaders, or have further exchanges, then when they want to display their political ambitions in the future, they will be able to have them. The more power you have, the more likely you will be successful.

When Xia Yu's car drove outside the Washington Convention Center, he saw a long queue coming out of the door, and the dance party had started and not all were admitted.

Xia Yu's car did not stop. Under the envious eyes of the people in line, he drove to another checkpoint. Facing the security guards who stopped at the intersection, Xia Yu rolled down the window and handed out the invitation. Yu bowed slightly, then opened the bayonet respectfully and let Xia Yu's car enter through the special passage.

Only guests like Xia Yu are qualified to park in the garage of the Washington Convention Center.

After verifying the invitation to the security guards at the entrance of the Washington Convention Center, Xia Yu walked in.

Along the VIP passage, Xia Yu came to the medium-sized conference room on the inner floor.

As soon as he entered, he immediately noticed that some people were either obscurely or calmly observing him.

Xia Yu didn't change his face, walked in without haste, and glanced quickly in the conference room.

There is dancing or conversation, but in short, the purpose is the same, and we should fully seize this opportunity to expand our network.

Most of the people holding red wine glasses and talking are middle-aged and elderly people. There are not many young people who dance, but it is certain that each of them is an outstanding descendant of a big family. Their parents bring them together to expand their contacts through this platform. world.

It's just that these people are either white or black, and white people make up the vast majority.

In addition, there is only one black-haired and yellow-skinned Xia Yu!

It wasn't that no one recognized Xia Yu, but it wasn't just out of a joking mentality or a conflicted mentality. In short, no one other than the waiter took the initiative to come forward to talk to Xia Yu.

At this moment, Ronald Reagan, who was talking to someone, felt something different. When he saw Xia Yu, he immediately pleaded guilty to the person beside him, and then held his wife with a warm smile on his face. Many people were surprised. In his eyes, he quickly walked towards Xia Yu.

"Mr. Xia, good evening and welcome!"

"good evening,

Mr President! "

"Ms Nancy, congratulations on becoming first lady!"

Xia Yu said with a smile.

"thanks!"

Nancy Davis Regan said with a kind smile.

Ronald Reagan hugged Xia Yu and then let go. This kind of etiquette used to express intimacy between acquaintances and friends was done on this occasion. Many people who were paying attention were a little surprised, and then in the Adjusting the position of Xia Yu in my heart, I secretly guessed what the relationship between this Asian and Ronald Reagan was.

"Mr. Xia, didn't you bring a female companion?"

Ronald Reagan asked suspiciously.

Generally speaking, when attending a dance party on a formal occasion, you will bring a female companion. It can be not limited to wives, relatives or friends, and it is rare to come alone.

Of course, few does not mean no. As the host of the dance, at this time, it is necessary to avoid as much as possible the guests who come alone.

Xia Yu smiled and said: "Yes, I have very few female friends in the United States, and I came here in a hurry, so I came alone, do you mind?"

Ronald Reagan shook his head and smiled: "Of course I don't mind."

After he finished speaking, he turned to his wife Nancy Davis and said, "Honey, there are young ladies coming with their parents tonight. To avoid our closest friends being lonely, you have to pay attention."

Nancy Davis Regan nodded as a matter of course, blinked at Xia Yu and said, "Mr. Xia, I will introduce you later."

Faced with this kind of good intentions, Xia Yu could only shake his head in disbelief, shrugged and said, "Well, I don't think I can refuse your good intentions."

"Hahaha……"

Ronald Reagan laughed softly.

"Mr. Xia, please come with us, and I'll introduce some friends to you."

After finishing speaking, Ronald Reagan took his wife and walked into the crowd side by side with Xia Yu.

"I would like to introduce you to everyone. This is my friend, Mr. Xia Yuxia."

"Good evening, Mr. Xia!"

"Nice to meet you!"

...

Looking at a few people around, Xia Yu immediately took out his business card printed with the chairman of Polaris Capital and sent it to the people around him.

In the process of collecting the business cards, Xia Yu quickly remembered their names, and then he showed his strong communication skills.

It's just that Xia Yu lightly ignored other people's temptations and topic traps, which would neither embarrass people nor be found out.

He knew very well that after seeing Ronald Reagan treat him with such seriousness, many people wanted to know his true background and his relationship with Ronald Reagan.

But he was under no obligation to satisfy their curiosity.

People who should know will naturally know, such as David Rockefeller's big bosses.

People who don't have the strength to know, then there is no need to know.

At this moment, Xia Yu noticed there was some commotion in the conference room, and quickly glanced around, and found that most of the people were looking at the few people who came in at the door, while Ronald Reagan and his wife, who were communicating in other places, also Several other guests rushed out to greet them.

It's David Rockefeller!

When he saw the face of the man in the middle, Xia Yu recognized it immediately. He just thought that David Rockefeller hadn't arrived yet, but he didn't expect to arrive as soon as he finished talking.

Arguably, with David Rockefeller walking in, here comes the biggest heavyweight of the ball!

The big guy behind the Republican Party, the top figure in the American pyramid!

As for the people around him, Xia Yu also recognized them, his youngest son Richard Rockefeller and his wife.

The arrival of such a heavyweight person can be said to have attracted the attention of everyone at the dance party, and almost everyone wanted to come over, especially those who aspired to enter politics.

Of course, if anyone at this dance didn't want to come over, it would only be Xia Yu.

Xia Yu hid in the crowd, calmly observing the various states of beings.

David Rockefeller was surrounded by people, and after asking Ronald Reagan a few words, he was surrounded by people and entered the center of the ball, so he did not see Xia Yu.

After David Rockefeller came, half a minute later, two small groups of people came in, which also attracted huge attention. Ronald Reagan accompanied David Rockefeller, so George Herbert Walker Bush The vice president took on the task of welcoming heavy guests.

The current helm of the Mellon family is Richard King Mellon and several descendants.

The fifth-generation head of the DuPont family, Lamotte DuPont Copeland, and his eldest son, Roy DuPont.

All of a sudden, three of the leaders of the four traditional forces behind the Republican Party came at once.

As for the representative of another Texas consortium behind the Republican Party, it has come before, there are two people.

One of them was the head of the Bush family, George Herbert Walker Bush.

Of course, although the Bush family is one of the core families in the Texas consortium, it joined later and has a relatively low position within the consortium. His achievements are the most outstanding, and he deserves a more special status, able to use the influence of the entire Texas consortium in the political field.

As for another person who can truly represent the Texas consortium, it is the head of the McKison family, the most powerful of the five founding families, Cody Moore McKison.

It's just that the McKison family is not the real power of the consortium like the Rockefeller family, the Mellon family, and the DuPont family, so the strength and status of the McKison family are much worse than those of the three.

On this occasion, however, the McKisons came on behalf of the Texas consortium and had no problem standing with Richard King Mellon, LaMotte Dupont Copeland and David Rockefeller. .

The four, plus President Ronald Reagan, Vice President George Herbert Walker Bush and Republican leader Benjamin Carr, make a total of seven.

After the seven people gathered in the center of the ball, they instantly became the focus of the entire ball.

At this time, everyone in the dance party knew that all the heavyweights who were supposed to come were here, and those who entered later were no longer worth paying attention to.

The atmosphere of the dance party tonight heated up rapidly and quickly approached the climax.
