Chapter 100 Senators
Chapter 100 Senator
The rattan chair is still shaking.
Chen Zhongguo showed a hard-to-understand smile, half-thought of emotion, half-memories, half-memories: "The Chen family's scholarly family was originally wanted to start with you. Seeing that you went to Jiangning University, I am still happy...ah..."
"Are you unhappy now?" Chen Yi was stunned.
Grandpa shook his head and nodded, saying, "There is no money to make, $15 million a day, it sounds like a lot, there are billions of dollars in a year, right?"
He asked and answered himself: "Billions of dollars are not spent, but are used to do careers. In terms of mastering money, in China, it is ultimately a political path. Ayi, do you want to go into politics?"
Chen Yi never thought that billions of dollars could not change his grandfather's thoughts at all. He breathed and said, "I don't like politics very much."
"If you like it or not, you will know after experiencing it." Chen Zhongguo smiled and said, "Forget it if you don't like it. If you want to do business, you can do it, but you can't give up your studies."
What else can Yi say?
Seeing that he was reluctant, Chen Zhongguo said, "I know what you are thinking, but I tell you that if there are many companies that make billions a year, I don't know how many people pass by me."
The old man dropped the Jushuba and said, "The oil companies, chemical companies, and coal companies back then were all profitable companies, as well as gold mining, televisions, and steel manufacturing. When the year is good, the national profits and taxes will be paid in billions. What's the result? Can the annual profits exceed 10 billion?"
"They are state-owned enterprises, can we change our business model?" Chen Yi was actually not worried about not being able to make money.
The old man shook his rattan chair and commented with a smile: "The world of young people is sunny, so you can play for another two years, but remember that no matter whether it is making money or studying, that is not the purpose. What is the purpose, you have to find it yourself."
Yi Yi's sweat was so philosophical after the old man stepped down.
"Tell me about your high-frequency trading person." Chen Zhongguo leaned on the rattan chair, looking like he was waiting for Chen Yi to tell him a story.
Although he is old, due to the nature of his work, he reads newspapers every day. Sometimes he encounters problems he doesn't understand or professional problems. He asks the people in the institute to talk about the national think tank, to a certain extent, which does affect everyone's lives. Because policy decisions cannot be fully covered, everything is understood.
All they can do is draw a line and let the think tanks of relevant professionals compete to debate, so as to get seemingly ideal conclusions.
Although Chen Zhongguo retired, he did not really retire, so it was still a matter of two things. If he had no hope at all, he would not have left the door to thank the guests behind closed doors.
Chen Yi has always trusted his grandfather's judgment very much. When he saw that he was interested, he really gave him a little description as if he was telling a story.
After listening for a while, Chen Zhongguo reached out and took out a towel from the back of the chair, wiped his forehead and said, "Can you understand a little, just do this, go find someone."
"yes."
"Nie Hao from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he has been in the United States for 20 years and has made many business friends. You can ask him to introduce some friends to you to see if he can contact senior figures anymore. Legislation requires a member of parliament. There is a US Senator Schumer. If you can pull him on the same line, the matter will be done 80%."
The person introduced by my grandfather would definitely not be a low-level civil servant. Chen Yi was surprised and said to Qiqiai Ai: "Is this considered utilizing your influence?"
"Forget it. Unless you surpass me, no one in the Chen family can escape." Chen Zhongguo held his head proudly.
"You have never let us..."
"I have allowed this matter. It is a skill to make money from foreigners." Chen Zhongguo put on a towel again and said, "The other one, as I said earlier, there are many companies that make money, but the companies that make money are still amazing. There are not many people who can create a career at your age, but they can also be considered top people. You must remember that China has a population of 1.3 billion, all walks of life, and those who stand on it are top people. I don't think they can compete with them yet, so you are the first one."
This is a great compliment.
Since Chen Yi remembers, grandpa has been in a high position and has never praised others easily.
In his impression, there are only a handful of times he can get praise.
A sense of arrogance came into Chen Yi's body as if it was contagious. He bounced up from the chair and shouted: "I will definitely help my grandfather and return to the top."
"Oh? So ambitious." Chen Zhongguo laughed, and the butler ran over.
He waved his hand and signaled that nothing happened, and said with a hearty laughter: "Grandpa, I'm happy. Go and do your own thing. I'll have a few cups of wine."
Chen Yi smiled embarrassedly and came out with the butler.
Han Jie always stayed in the car, and she was also happy to see him showing joy.
The next day, Chen Yi checked the information and made an appointment with Nie Hao.
Grandpa's secretary did not show up for help, which made him a little strange, but he did not ask.
In this way, even though he knew it was Mr. Chen’s grandson, Nie Hao thought Chen Yi was a bit like a student, and his attention was really limited.
The place agreed between the two was even their office. After all, Nie Hao was a department-level cadre in his forties. Even if he was requested by his old superior, he had to pay attention to methods.
After Chen Yi thanked him politely, he said bluntly: "About the US Senator Schumer, do you have any information there? Can you help me win him over?"
"Shumer?" Nie Hao was a little surprised and immediately said, "Shumer is a ruthless Democratic Party's senator. Do you want to... interview him?"
Chen Yi blinked his eyes, really not understanding the situation.
Nie Hao understood that he would have misunderstood, so he closed the file in front of him with a smile and said, "Tell me, tell me."
Chen Yi still didn't talk about his company, but just asked a question: "I want to win over Schumer and allow him to pass some bills to ensure the relative monopoly position of a financial company."
"Monopoly?" Nie Hao did not expect it to be a big problem, so he sat upright a little seriously and said, "Schumer is not very friendly to China, and he proposed those bills for appreciation of the RMB."
After the words were finished, Nie Hao turned his mind and said, "What kind of bill do you want him to pass."
Chen Yi had long been thinking about this and immediately said: "I want him to limit the tiered service providers. This is unfair competition."
“All-ranked service providers?”
"It is a broker who connects his computer in parallel with the exchange computer and can get the news in advance." Chen Yi explained the relevant content.
He is not prohibiting himself from participating in trading. In fact, because his computer computing power is super strong, as long as the exchange maintains fair trading, he can be faster than other traders.
Perhaps in a few years, when the new generation of computers of securities companies are released, its advantages will be reduced, but now, the physical distance is far from a bottleneck.
Nie Hao started to lose his understanding.
He originally thought he was taking care of his children and nephews, but now it seems that things are quite troublesome.
After pondering for a moment, Nie Hao hesitated and asked: "What is the name of that company?"
He shouldn't have asked this, but because the other party was young, his strong curiosity still prompted him to ask.
Chen Yi said without hesitation: "It's just that Schumer takes the lead and handles this bill, there is no need for the company name, right?"
He is not pretentious either. Since he told his parents and grandfather all the company information, he is naturally not worried about confidentiality. Moreover, the registration information of Jinyuan International is not top secret.
However, it is difficult to say which company makes the request to Schumer and which company is effective from it.
In other words, the company I own is not necessarily the company I lobby for - it may be entrusted by someone, but once it is said, there is no room for maneuver.
Nie Hao knew this and couldn't say anything, so he secretly judged the current situation of Chen Yi and the Chen family.
The financial companies on Wall Street sound very powerful.
If Chen Yi owned it, he would definitely not believe it. Then if Chen Congyu owned it, why wouldn't he come forward?
In the guesswork, Nie Hao said: "The thing about Mr. Chen is mine, and there will be no shirk. Let me first talk about the difficulties. First, it is Schumer's unfriendliness to China, and I can come forward through my American friends; second, Schumer has a high status. He is the chairman of several important committees of the US Senate. In Washington, he is the top 10 people. In addition to official channels, I can't speak here, and I have to find people and find people. I'm afraid it's not easy to do it; third, the price of passing the bill, you may not know that Schumer was supported by Wall Street. At least most of the time, he represents the interests of Wall Street financiers. You have to limit them now, and the possibility of Schumer agreeing is very small."
Chen Yi thought about it and said, "Then there is only the third question left."
"What?"
"In the United States, I will go through an American intermediary. How to talk to Schumer? I have someone to choose, but the price of the bill..." Chen Yi touched his lips and said, "Is money the way to solve the problem?"
"Of course it is in the United States." Nie Hao laughed and then said: "But no matter how you say it, you can give money, and others can give money. It is not enough to just throw it forward. You have to use money to create momentum."
Chen Yi nodded understandingly and said, "I can prepare 10 million US dollars. As the first batch of operating funds, can you recommend a candidate to me?"
Nie Hao was stunned.
He finally knew what the children of aristocratic families were like.
He has spent more than 10 million US dollars, but he has never been.
After thinking for two minutes, Nie Hao thought about it repeatedly and said, "Since I have said it, I have a few candidates. Maybe I find some time to meet up with me..."
"No." Chen Yi coughed and said, "I have not experienced enough. If I can, I hope Director Nie will worry more about this. When the money is paid, the American company will pay the bill directly."
Bribery of senators or political transactions is not a good reputation in any case.
Chen Yi still wants to stay in the United States and doesn't want to participate.
Compared to his daily income of tens of millions of dollars, it is most appropriate to take out the money.
There are so many political brokers who work in Washington who work in full-time lobbying for the sake of businessmen who cherish their feathers.
As for Nie Hao, he doesn't care about his reputation in the United States.
Director naturally understood his thoughts.
Nie Hao still sighed in his heart that Chen Yi thought carefully and then agreed.
During the small few rounds, he had a great impression of Mr. Chen's grandson.
Not to mention children of the same age, even those of their own leading cadres can think so clearly.
What he thought was: There is such a young man in the Chen family, but it is impossible.
Nie Hao didn't know that Chen Yi not only had an intelligence scroll and a listening scroll on his head, but also had already eaten a lot of green lilac berries.
The three are one, and it will be invincible in negotiations.
Shaoqing, Nie Hao smiled and said, "You are a freshman in Jiangning University, and my son is also in Jiangning University. It's time for you two to get closer."
He took out his business card, wrote his son's phone number on it and handed it to him, saying, "If you have time tonight, come to my house for dinner. You can get to know each other."
As his mind moved, he also decided to re-strengthen his ties with the Chen family.
Chen Yi smiled cleverly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Nie."
In fact, Chen Zhongguo asked him to come to Nie Hao, which was also a test.
If Nie Hao is still willing to maintain a close relationship, he will definitely help Chen Yi. If Nie Hao is willing to maintain a close relationship, Chen Yi's performance will have a certain stimulating effect.
This is not only a test of Chen Zhongguo for Chen Yi and Nie Hao, but also a step in the political arena.
It is a leisurely chess during retirement.
God knows when this idle chess can work.
