The problem was solved. In a week, Gao Yang flew back and forth to four places, met a congressman and three senators, didn't sign a check or pay cash, but everything was done.
To put it bluntly, it is a power money transaction, but everything is legal, because those congressmen did nothing, really did nothing, or even implied anything. They just accepted Gao Yang into their social circle, that's all, but the problem that bothered Gao Yang was solved.
Why is the problem so easy to solve? Because the director of the CIA is now in the same interest circle as Gao Yang.
This is a transaction, but the transaction is legal, and the transaction method is by no means as simple as you pay me. In essence, it is, but the operation is certainly not so simple, because if a senator collects a large amount of money directly from a businessman, it is against the law, but after a series of ingenious and legal operations, everyone can obtain the desired benefits, But there is nothing illegal, which is the focus and the subtlety of the transaction.
Those who understand understand naturally, and those who don't understand explain don't understand, and they don't believe it.
How do you repay those who have helped you in power? This is a skill, and Gao Yang learned a trick today.
Ye Lianna is elegant and beautiful with her high arms and a white dress. As a rising star of classical music, her appearance will never be a problem, but ye Lianna's mood is a little nervous at the moment, just because the event she attended is completely different from the past.
This is a gathering of dignitaries. When walking slowly along with the crowd of celebrities, ye Lianna couldn't help whispering, "honey, is it really appropriate for me to participate in this occasion?"
He raised his head slightly, smiled and said, "there's nothing inappropriate. It's just a banquet and a speech. You're just an audience. It's much easier than your performance on the stage?"
Ye Lianna nodded gently. She looked at Morgan not far in front, and then whispered, "Oh, well, I won't be very nervous."
Gao Yang stood at the door of the banquet hall and handed out the invitation. The receptionist with white gloves took the invitation and looked at it. He bowed his head, smiled and whispered, "Mr. Gao, Miss Ye Lianna, welcome both of you, please."
Gao Yang leaned slightly and took Ye Lianna into the gate of the banquet hall. At this time, ye Lianna patted her chest and whispered: "I can't believe my name was on the invitation card of the former president's speech. It's amazing. I mean, I always thought I would be very calm when I saw people like the president who only live in the news, but now I'm a little excited, very excited."
Gao Yang said with a smile, "it's just the former president. Honey, the word former is very important."
Ye Lianna shrugged and said, "isn't that different? They are all big people."
Gao Yang said with a smile, "please, the invitation was not sent to you by the former president, but the organizer wrote your name. I bet you haven't heard his name. Oh, I heard his name for the first time."
"Then why did he send you an invitation?"
"Because I'm in the same circle with him now. To be exact, Morgan and he are in the same circle. More importantly, they have business contacts, and I will take over Morgan's business, so of course he has to give me an invitation. Oh, that's Morgan."
Gao Yang took Ye Lianna to Morgan and said, "Hi, Morgan."
Morgan looked at Ye Lianna and said with a smile, "you are really beautiful tonight. Relax. You look a little nervous. Relax. You will adapt to these in the future."
After finishing speaking to Ye Lianna, Morgan looked at Gao Yang and said, "first walk around with your fiancee. I have to meet some old friends. We will be at the same table after the banquet. Several people coming tonight are very important. Are you ready?"
Gao Yang nodded and said, "of course, I'm ready."
Morgan said with a smile, "go and talk to others. The speech will start in half an hour. You're not in a hurry to take a seat."
Gao Yang and ye Lianna have left. Before they officially sit in their seats, people can walk around and talk. This is a good time to socialize. However, Gao Yang and ye Lianna look that love is too young and not a famous dignitary in the city, so no one comes up to talk with them, and they are not interested in looking for someone to talk.
Came to a corner, Gao Yang smiled at Ye Lianna and said, "would you like something to drink?"
Ye Lianna whispered, "curious, shouldn't a speech be sitting in a place like a theater, and then there are a lot of listeners?"
Gao Yang spread his hand and said, "it's an ordinary and low-end speech. It's different here. There won't be too many listeners, and the food at the banquet won't be very exquisite. Moreover, most of them are cold dishes. Everything is just to get everyone together and give the money to the former president."
"Money?"
"Oh, half a million dollars, after tax, plus tax, about 800000 dollars, paid by the party organizer, that's all."
"Why do you pay so much for a former president to speak? Because he is really capable and only has so much money for a few words?"
"Oh, no, no, no, the only reason to pay for the former president's speech is that the incumbent president can't take the money for the speech, but after he leaves office, it's OK, okay?"
"Why?"
Gao Yang sighed, lowered his voice and said: "Because the real payer owes the former president a favor? Do you understand? This favor debt has been owed since the president took office. Now that the president has resigned, he can pay, so he organized the reception in the name of charity and invited the former president to give a speech. Wait for the former president. Just say it. 500000 dollars is after tax, okay?"
Ye Lianna widened her eyes and said in a trembling voice, "is that ok?"
"Of course, honey, don't stare so big. Maybe I'll have to pay in this way in the future. You have to get used to it."
Ye Lianna said in a trembling voice, "but only 500000 dollars? Is it too little? You often make tens of millions of dollars at a time. Why is it enough to only need 500000 dollars here?"
Exclaimed loudly: "A lot. After all, it's a lot to pay 800000 dollars for things that can be completed only by a little mouth. You can't give too much at a time. After all, it's just a speech. Besides, anything can't be completed by Mr. President alone. Everyone has received his share. However, only the former president is qualified to receive money in this way. It's fair and legal In, a lot. "
After that, Gao Yang knocked on his head and said with a smile: "sorry, I want to correct it. The former Secretary of state also has the qualification to collect money by making speeches. As for others, I have just stepped into this field for a short time and don't know much, but I think they should have appropriate means to collect money. There must be, I promise."
