Chapter 990

In the United States, there are two famous streets.

One is Wall Street on Manhattan Island, New York, and the other is K Street in Washington, D.C.

As several of the most influential lobbying organizations and think tanks are here, it is often called "lobbying Street" or "the fourth largest department of the U.S. government". Even many countries have public relations departments like "the second embassy" here. And many of the great events that have happened in history, as well as the upcoming events in the international community, are also closely related here.

Lawrence, who was sitting in an office in the corner of K Street, nodded, holding the phone in his hand.

“…… Is that what the president said? "

"OK, I see."

After a few simple words, Lawrence hung up and handed the phone to the assistant standing next to him.

Sitting opposite him, watching Lawrence finish the call, woods raised his eyebrows curiously and asked.

"Is it convenient to ask a question?"

"Ask."

"I just called you..."

"Chief of staff."

Chief of staff!

Woods's pupils narrowed slightly on the sofa.

It's not a strange thing to be able to go online with the chief of staff. ExxonMobil has the same energy, but let the chief of staff call him in person to report the progress

Thinking of this, woods also smashed his tongue.

No wonder these vampires are always able to make the right choice. Just the access to information, the ordinary investment bank managers who watch the news and collect information, and they are not in the same heavyweight.

I think of the Black Thursday report I read a few days ago. I'm afraid that the collapse of Dow Jones industrial index these days has made this guy a lot of money

"What did the White House decide?"

Lawrence didn't hide Woods' inquiry, said with a careless smile.

"It's not the time to start a conflict by reconsidering the antitrust investigation of starsky technology."

Woods was a little stunned and surprised.

"That patent --"

"something that doesn't belong to you, don't think about it."

Looking at the Texan, Lawrence smiled lightly. Although he didn't look down upon him, he didn't show it on his face.

Instead of lobbying the White House, pushing the Department of justice to launch a judicial investigation and bribe witnesses These barbarian means to plunder the wealth belonging to others, he is more inclined to follow the trend and bet on the optimistic direction.

To put it bluntly, it's like racing.

The real winners are not the horse that crossed the finish line and the owner who took away the medals and bonuses, but the makers who won all the chips on the outside.

"Damn it!"

His fists were tightly clenched, and woods, who was barely maintaining his demeanor, was panting, as if he wanted to vent his anger through his heavy nose.

"Now that the results have come out, I don't need to stay here. Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Woods."

Standing up from the sofa, Lawrence nodded to his assistant next to him, motioned him to drive, and then continued to look at Woods sitting opposite him. "We are very interested in the oil field in Paraguay. Our analysts predicted that even if every car on the earth is electric in 2040, the oil consumption will only return to the level of 2013. Oil The business is still profitable, and I sincerely suggest that you take this project seriously... "

Looking at woods, who obviously had something to say, Lawrence paused for a moment, smiled and continued.

"Of course, you don't have to laugh at me immediately. The history class in Princeton didn't teach me too much investment skills, but fortunately, it taught me patience."

As he rose from the sofa, woods frowned and asked, "are you ready to go?"

"Well," Lawrence nodded and looked up at the time with his left hand, "I'm almost there for the three o'clock flight."

"Where to?"

"See an old friend."

Lawrence continued with a smile.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that he's been doing well recently."

……

Binghamton University.

Department of chemistry laboratory.

Professor Stanley, who was sitting at his desk rummaging through the newspaper, suddenly seemed to have taken off some heavy load, and the whole man was relieved.

Coincidentally, when I came back from the outside, I saw the expression on my professor's face. The doctor with glasses was slightly shocked and asked.

"What's the matter, professor?"

"Dropped the case."

"Withdrawal?"

"It's nothing to do with you," said Professor Stanley, who stood up from his desk chair and straightened his collar as he left the newspaper behind. "Which classroom is the afternoon class?""A teaching building 411 Are you going to go in person? "

The doctor looked at the professor out of business.

What he hates most is to teach the undergraduate students and explain some boring things repeatedly with the textbook. If it is not necessary, he can push the courses to the assistant and the students. He will never go to the courses himself, and only in the laboratory can he find the real science.

Now he asked to go to class

The sun is coming out to the West!

“…… Occasionally reviewing what's obvious is helpful to inspire new research I forgot who said this sentence, probably who is famous. Anyway, it's just like this, "Professor Stanley said casually," well, in a word, I'll come to this afternoon's class. You can help me sort out the documents. "

The doctoral student nodded his head.

"Good professor, then I will copy the PPT from the computer..."

With a snort, Professor Stanley said, turning his lips disdainfully.

"I don't need that stuff, a really good professor, just a blackboard and a piece of chalk."

Doctor: "..."

There was no explanation. Professor Stanley, in a good mood, picked up the lesson plan on the table, turned around and walked towards the door.

Looking at the door of the office closed, the doctoral student was still standing at his desk in fog. He did not know what kind of nerves his boss was having.

My eyes fell on the newspaper on the desk.

With gossip in mind, he stepped forward and secretly unfolded the newspaper on the table, turning to the page that Professor Stanley had read before.

"The largest case of intellectual property fraud in history, ExxonMobil chose to withdraw due to insufficient evidence..."

With his eyes slightly enlarged, he immediately remembered that this was the subject of cooperation between his tutor and ExxonMobil?

Exxon Mobil has not enough evidence to choose to withdraw the lawsuit, which is bad news no matter what. However, his mentor's face shows an expression of relief

All of a sudden, he thought of a rumor that had been circulating in academia for some time.

A rumor that made him sneer

"Is that paper six years ago really..."

His face changed a little, and he felt that he had found the secret of his tutor. The doctor quickly closed the newspaper and put it back in place as if nothing had happened.

He didn't want justice, he just wanted to graduate from here.

No matter what the truth is, he intends to bury the secret in his stomach.

At least, before I graduate
