With the existence of the glass Steagall act, the day of its repeal is coming. In fact, this is not the result of a compromise between Wall Street and Washington.
It is said that Wall Street controls America. Although there are exaggerated claims, there is no certain reason. Politics is the continuation of economy and the art of compromise. American politics has always been the product of mutual compromise between consortia and government.
Of course, it's too complicated. Although Li Feng is now a big man in America, after all, the time is still short and he can't play much role in such a big change. As long as we grasp the pulse of this era, we can accumulate grain and develop silently.
Li Feng at least felt that he had benefited a lot from the exchange with a group of Wall Street leaders. In particular, he has the memory of future generations. A comparison between the two can always find some traces of the game between the parties and a favorable basis for the development of his career.
After communicating and exchanging contact information with several Wall Street bigwigs, Li Feng finally left. After all, all the figures in tonight's party came on stage. He can't just stare at a limited number of bigwigs, including many hidden giants and hidden dragons, which is worth making friends with them.
As Li Feng wandered around the party again, however, Li Feng was the focus after all. After a while, he was pulled away again. This time, it was "his own people" who pulled away Li Feng.
"Robert, James, when did you two come?"
"John, we've been here for a while, but we'll arrive later than you."
"How are you recently?"
"Ha ha... Everything is going well and everything is fine."
“…”
……
While walking, Li Feng chatted casually with two "own people" who came to pull him. They were James Woolsey and Robert Gates, one served as vice president and director of Northrop Raytheon, and the other was the president of Li Feng's consulting company in Washington.
"Robert and James, you finally brought your present boss."
"Yes, there are too many people who want to see our boss. Now let me give you a chance to introduce yourself." Robert gatston replied with a funny smile.
Obviously, it can be seen from the three people's dialogue that they should all be very familiar "old friends".
"John, let me introduce you. This is Richard Cheney. He is now the president and CEO of Halliburton company. He worked with Robert before and served as the Secretary of defense in the old B's period." James Woolsey smiled and introduced humanity to Li Feng.
"Ha ha... James, your news is out of date. I met John before, and I know him." As soon as James Woolsey spoke, Cheney, the big man of America, immediately laughed and replied.
"Uh... Cheney, are you really, deliberately?"
"Ha ha..."
"Nice to meet you again, Mr. Cheney. The last time I met George, I talked about you and Halliburton." Li Feng replied with a smile.
"Really, John, I heard that you bought Michelle energy directly. You should strengthen cooperation in the future!"
"I think so, but today's Michelle energy company is losing money every day. You should help more!"
"It's all small things. Just keep in touch and strengthen cooperation in the future."
“…”
……
At this time, Li Feng remembered who the great man was. He served two generations of Bushi. He served as secretary of defense in the old Bushi period and vice president in the younger Bushi period. He was praised by the United States as "the most powerful vice president.".
Li Feng was impressed. It seemed that he had a contact with others under the introduction of little B Shi at a party. Of course, it was only a short contact. At that time, he chatted casually without in-depth communication.
At the beginning, Robert Gates also took the post of director of the CIA during the old bosh period, and Cheney and Cheney used to serve the big boss of the old bosh together, which is also an old friend. No wonder Cheney and Robert and James were so casual when Li Feng came here. Obviously, the relationship should be good.
"John, I don't think you're a stranger?" James Woolsey once again introduced to an old man wearing glasses.
"Ha ha... James, am I so ignorant in your eyes? Don't I even know the Secretary of defense of the United States of America? Hello, Mr. Perry. Nice to meet you!" Li Feng replied with a laugh.
"Hello, John, I've heard your name for a long time. I haven't met you. Now I finally know you, don't I?"
"OK, it would be best if you are all familiar with each other, and Perry is not an outsider now. There will be opportunities to talk again in the future. John, I'll introduce some new friends to you."
"Uh..."
"Hehe, John, don't you know that Perry has just retired from Washington and has now become an independent director of Northrop Raytheon and vice president of the consulting company." Robert Gates also explained with a smile.
"Oh, I don't know."
"Ha ha... No, Perry has just promised recently. We are going to tell you that we want to surprise you."
"Well, it's a great surprise!" Li Feng also replied happily.
……
Yes, Li Feng is naturally happy to let the newly retired Secretary of defense join his company. Think about what it means for an American Secretary of defense to join Northrop Raytheon. To put it bluntly, it may bring huge government military orders and potential great influence in the future.
"This is admiral Owens of the Navy... And vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of staff."
"This is admiral Jerez..."
"This is senior senator William of the Senate."
"This is the house of Representatives..."
As James Woolsey introduced the remaining few to himself, there were bursts of iron blood. Unexpectedly, he introduced several serving military generals, including the top giants of the three major military services.
Similarly, in addition to several military giants, there are several senior members of both houses of Congress. They are the kind of senior members who have been re elected for two or three consecutive terms. They are definitely famous figures in American politics.
After some greetings, the people also knew each other. Similarly, Li Feng also secretly said in his heart that if he had met a big man in the American economic circle before, he would now be a big man in the American political circle.
When many giants came and met with him, Li Feng was still happy.
……
"James, I didn't expect you all to come to this party!" Holding back a burst of horror in his heart, Li Feng said with a smile.
"Hehe... Maybe PNC group or the Morgan family can't help but want to make a voice. No, they spent a lot of time on this party and invited many heavyweights." James Woolsey joked with a special smile.
"Hehe... James, I just found out. How do you feel a little bad?"
"John, you just found out. James has always been like this. You found out too late!"
"You..."
"Ha ha..."
