American Fortune Life
Chapter 1918: Father and son in this life
"I didn't expect that your proposal to" purchase American goods "could be so useful, and the results received were amazing ..."
A small, but Nordic style decoration, Nordic style, neat and concise, round-legged wooden chairs and bare brick walls also added a little Greek style restaurant named ki, Auston and Andy sat opposite, While tasting Michelin-level molecular cuisine, the chat was harmonious.
The restaurant was originally small, with only six tables, and the other seats were already occupied by the bodyguards brought by the two. It was also regarded as an alternative charter, so the conversation between Andy and Allston was more casual.
"I read the report that a bill recently passed contains a clause similar to" Buy American ", which has aroused strong worries and dissatisfaction among the people in the basin ..." Andy put a small piece of beef into his mouth while chewing He smiled and looked at the opposite Orston.
Auston poked his lips lightly, took the red wine glass and took a sip, and said comfortably: "The Energy and Water Resources Development Appropriation Act stipulates that the funds in the Act must not be used to purchase companies other than the three big American cars Car. I did n’t expect it could be passed easily in the House of Representatives, and I also got the “friendship” from the three major car companies. Hehe, interestingly, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the business representative of the foot basin have already made an appointment. It seems to be ready to lobby me, hope I Repeal the "buy American" requirement before sending the bill to the Senate. "
"Hehe ..." Andy looked at the flash of proud expression on his cheap dad, shook his head and chuckled, "For the benefit of the people, the feet are always generous."
After hearing the jokes in his son's words, Auston sneered: "Compared with the votes, all they can give is rubbish."
"Not to mention you have the son of the richest man in the world, not bad money, right?" Andy raised an eyebrow and teased.
Auston gave Andy a grumpy look, but did not deny it, but cut the juicy beef on a white porcelain plate with a knife and fork, and said lightly: "Next year I am going to run for the Senate. Out of New York State Senator! "
Andy frowned, looking at Auston holding the shiny fork and sending the beef to the importer, and asked with some uncertainty: "Will it be a bit rushed, after all, you have only sat for two years in the House of Representatives , So anxious to compete for the position of senator, the bottom line ... "
"Information? Are you kidding? The most indispensable is the information!" Auston glanced at Andy, his mouth raised, and continued with a smile: "In the past two years, the achievements I have made, I believe as long as it is not For the blind, you can see that the old woman used to pinch the New York senator and not give up, but now she has become the secretary of state and has to loosely send a successor. This is a good opportunity that I will not let go. Moreover, the Elephant Party has reached a consensus to help me sprint! "
"Well, the two-year senator, the power span is really a bit large, but it is not a problem." Andy narrowed his eyes, his eyes flashed sharply. "After the birth of Joseph Little, he has not yet had a party to celebrate After a while, I'm going to have a party in New York. At that time, I would like to invite more Wall Street friends. "
"Ha ha." Auston nodded with a smile of relief.
Everyone knows that when Olympiad was running for president, he received strong support from Wall Street bankers. Both in terms of money and public opinion, he received great help. However, since he entered the White House, Olympiad Gradually estranged and even broken from Wall Street, Wall Street took a sigh of relief, preparing to give a deep lesson to the Donkey Party represented by Okuanhai in the mid-term elections, and to increase support for the Elephant Party that fluttered the street in order to reach The checks and balances of Austrian Guanhai and the Donkey Party were constrained.
Andy just wants to get Oston into the support list of everyone on Wall Street through a party. This is a great opportunity. Perhaps in the multi-party wrestling, his dad will be really cheap. Maybe.
"Recently, Mr. President, it can be said that it is a bit of a sorrow. Not only has he been involved in the quagmire of racial discrimination, his origins have been heated up again. In the backlash, he also wants to promote medical insurance reform ..."
Auston shook his head with a sneer and sighed, but soon he sneered and turned into a joke and teased his son: "Your future father-in-law is really a personal thing. Let it go, when it comes to that, it's really ... hahaha. "
"Cough ..." Listening to the cheerful laugh of his cheap dad, Andy was really going to be depressed, he coughed twice, shook his head helplessly, "No way, he is so upright, and then, really There are doubts. After losing the relevant documents in 2001, his long form birth paper no longer exists. The key problem is that the White House has repeatedly denied and refuted that he did not take out his original birth record (also called "long form" birth paper). The photocopy originally proved that the doubts of the American people were also a problem for the White House. "
Even if cp is no longer reliable, it is also Andy's future father-in-law. He naturally will not complain. Besides, cp is holding on to the birth certificate of Aoguanhai. Although there is a purpose of speculation, there are doubts. Why not prove it? This in itself is a big question mark.
"Oh, in fact, it doesn't matter whether he was born in the United States or not. The key is that he pushed the medical reform with all his strength and caused him these troubles, but you also have to remind your father-in-law not to mix blindly To put it bluntly, it is still a dispute over interests. No one cares whether Mr. President ’s birth paper is true or not. Such a stubborn stubbornness of cp will definitely lead to the White House's shame and revenge. "
Oston said to his future in-laws who had a big mouth and shook his head with a smile, and reminded Andy with a little warning.
"I can't control what he said." Andy shrugged without thinking. If anyone thinks that cp is the second cargo that can only run the train, then who is the second cargo, use controversy to increase exposure and use exposure. To increase its own brand value, this is the marketing method of cp. Andy will not manage it, nor can it manage it. If it can manage, Ivana would have managed it already!
"Dad, if you are running for the Senate seat in New York, don't even say that my father-in-law is a good campaign aid. He still has some influence in the lower and middle classes in New York."
Aston frowned slightly and nodded, he did not look down on cp. Although cp does have a lot of problems, as a successful billionaire entrepreneur, how can it be a second good, although you can make fun of it , But never underestimated cp, not to mention his daughter is already his daughter-in-law, Ivana's excellence, Auston is still very much recognized, being able to educate such an excellent daughter, which itself shows many problems.
"I'll talk to him." Of course, Oston would not choose to ignore any help, nodded, and then looked at Andy and asked, "This time, Okuanhai's plan to promote health care system reform has been met by all parties. Criticizing, he invited the chief executives and presidents of the four major companies to the White House for lunch. He will definitely mention it and seek support. You should pay attention to the wording. "
"Oh, I won't be here. I don't lack his self-paying White House lunch. I've asked Howard Schultz to attend. This time in Washington, I will only attend the welcome dinner to welcome the guests from Heavenly Kingdom and some Heavenly Dynasty. Friends meet and chat. "Andy said with a hint of sarcasm.
The corner of Auston's mouth couldn't help but twitch, with a strange expression. Everyone knows the specifications of the Tianchao team who came to Washington this time, but listening to the tone of his own son, it's almost impossible for Niu 13, and some Tianchao friends meet and chat, it really makes him a very ashamed to be Lao Tzu, he is more and more aware of his identity as a member of Congress is a bit shy, after all, he wants to see Tianchao visitors as his own congressman Can't do it ...
After the atmosphere suddenly became a bit resentful and cheap, Dad's face didn't look so good. After lunch, after breaking up, Andy drove to the Washington Post headquarters building about 4 blocks north of the White House. Some time ago The Washington Post Company Chairman and Ceo Donald Graham and he have repeatedly invited Andy to visit the Washington Post headquarters through several phone calls. This time, when he came to Washington, Andy also readily accepted the appointment, of course, he also He wanted to find out what medicine Mr. Graham was selling in his gourd, as he had guessed.
