v3 Chapter 836： Xia Yu's suggestion

Chapter 836

Time passed by. On July 7, a major event occurred in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government officially ordered the merger of the four stock exchanges in order to regulate the financial order of Hong Kong and improve the financial development environment of Hong Kong. Named the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

After the announcement of this decision, the whole Xiangjiang was shaken.

However, Xia Yu knew about this for a long time, and ordered his subordinates of banks and securities companies to pay close attention to them and wait for opportunities to participate. At the very least, he would get a member of the Exchange Committee.

Of course, Xia Yu also knows that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange only exists on paper, with only one name, and even the committee has not been established. The four stock exchanges will continue to operate until April 1986, when the Hong Kong Joint Exchange All other exchanges will be shut down.

Calculating carefully, if he does not intervene in the advancement, there are still five years and nine months left by then, and it is still early!

After instructing Xia Yu to pay attention, Xia Yu immediately left behind and continued to be busy in the United States.

Follow up with Seattle Computer Products Company today, and follow up with Polaris Capital Company tomorrow. The day after tomorrow will be the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Company, and the day after tomorrow will be the branch of Galaxy Fund... Xia Yu's life is quite fulfilling.

In a blink of an eye, in mid-July, the Republican National Congress of the United States arrived as scheduled.

Xia Yu watched the whole process in front of the TV.

That's right, the National Congress of the Republican Party of the United States is open to the entire United States directly through the television network. This is also a good publicity opportunity to let voters across the United States know who the Republican presidential candidate is.

In these more than ten days, not only George Bush gave up, but many other candidates were given the job by Republican leader Benjamin Carr. They chose to abandon the campaign for the sake of the overall situation. Of course, some of them refused to give up.

But the supporters of the candidates who gave up were all told to vote for Ronald Wilson Reagan at the National Convention.

Therefore, when Ronald Reagan appeared on the podium as the first nominee to speak, the number of votes quickly broke through 1,237 votes, directly locking the identity of the Republican presidential candidate, and the people behind either showed regret or expressed regret. The deputy looked at it for granted.

Although Ronald Reagan secured the victory, it does not mean that he will be able to represent the Republican Party in the national election. Other independent contenders also have a slight possibility. Whether it is possible or not depends on Ronald in the next four months. Can De Reagan keep it steady?

According to the past general elections, scandals, shoe smashing, etc. will happen. If the Democratic Party bursts out of his huge scandal later, it will not be impossible for the Republican Party to change its supporters.

So after the Republican National Congress, two more people stood up high-profile and declared in front of the media that they would never give up until the last minute and would participate in the presidential election as an independent candidate of the Republican Party. One of them was Republican Representative John B. Anderson, one of them is Republican Senator Polk Coster.

Two days later, the Democratic National Convention was held in New York. In the end, the current President Jimmy Carter won the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination and will represent the Democratic Party in the general elections in the coming months.

The identities of the presidential candidates of the two parties have been determined, so the next most important thing is to quickly form a campaign team.

This campaign team is no bigger than the previous campaign team.

Those who did not place a bet will put aside the last bit of reservation and choose to join the two teams.

The interviewers on these two teams are not the others, but Ronald Reagan and Jimmy Carter.

The team candidate that needs to be determined most is the vice presidential candidate!

In Washington, Xia Yu saw Ronald Reagan again. Ronald Reagan, who had already won a phased victory, had a high spirits. Although he was sixty-nine years old, he looked vigorous with his black hair.

However, facing the big benefactor of Xia Yu, his attitude remained the same as before, not arrogant, but rather enthusiastic.

"Mr. Xia, you are welcome, please come in!"

"Our future Mr. President, it's so nice to see you again!"

"It's too early. Jimmy Carter is the current president. I want to succeed in the election. There is still a long way to go..."

"Mr. Reagan, I don't think Jimmy Carter will be your opponent,"

After the two embraced and exchanged lightly, Ronald Reagan welcomed Xia Yu and others in.

"Boss, good morning!"

At this time, Ronald Reagan's financial adviser Rhodes Saxon greeted Xia Yu, and Xia Yu smiled and nodded in response to his subordinates.

"Good morning, Rhodes, I have worked hard for you this time!"

"No hard work, this is what I should do..."

Soon, the group came to the living room to drink coffee and chat, of course, the topic has always been around the presidential election.

"Mr. Reagan, who do you plan to find as your partner in the next general election, such as the Vice President?"

After taking a sip of coffee, Xia Yu put down the cup and asked with a smile.

Ronald Reagan smiled, his expression became serious, and he stared at Xia Yu and shook his head and said, "I haven't decided yet. The candidate is still under investigation. Mr. Xia, you should understand that this position is in the Constitution. No specific power was stipulated, and there was no sense of existence in the early days, but in this era, this position is very important. A good vice president will affect the presidential election and the post-election term."

Xia Yu nodded and said, "I know what you said. Although you have obtained the resources of the Republican Party, the resources of the Republican Party are still limited. The United States is a country of capital, and you need to get the support of enough consortia."

Ronald Reagan said frankly: "Yes!"

After speaking, he asked back: "Mr. Xia, do you have any suggestions?"

Xia Yu thought for a while, nodded slightly and said, "I really have a suggestion."

Ronald Reagan raised his brows and became interested, and asked, "I don't know who can get your approval from Mr. Xia?"

Xia Yu smiled faintly and spit out a name: "Your original competitor, George Bush."

Ronald Reagan was surprised. He didn't expect Xia Yu to recommend this person. He knew that George Bush had given up the presidential campaign and called him half a month ago.

And if nothing else, George Bush is now probably vacationing in Hawaii.

Half a month ago, after George Bush congratulated him, he asked casually. George Bush told him with relief that he had been nervous for so long and planned to take his wife to relax.

Ronald Reagan quickly flashed several possibilities in his mind, and looked at Xia Yu with scorching eyes, wanting to know the reason: "Mr. Xia, why do you think he would be suitable? He had participated in the presidential candidate campaign before!"

Xia Yu asked with a smile: "Mr. Reagan, although he participated in the presidential candidate campaign and lost to you, but think about it in another way. If there is a position of vice president for you, would you be willing to come?"

Ronald Reagan thought for a while and shrugged and said: "I don't think I will refuse. This will be a huge political capital, and there are many precedents from vice president to president."

"That's it?"

"Mr. Reagan, of all the Republican presidential candidates this time, George Bush is the best partner for you."

"His political views are closest to yours, and because he has served as a diplomat in many countries, his international vision is very broad. If you partner with you, the two of you can form a very good complementary role."

"The most important thing is that the Bush family not only has great energy in the political field, but the Bush family is one of the core families of the Texas consortium. As long as you bring George Bush to your side, then you will have a very good chance. Get the resources of the Texas Consortium!"

Ronald Reagan looked thoughtful, carefully pondering Xia Yu's words, the more he pondered, the more reasonable he became.

Seeing the change of Ronald Reagan's complexion, Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly.

Originally, this matter of selecting the vice president was to be discussed and recommended by his team. In the end, Ronald Reagan decided who to use.

Unlike the presidential candidate, the choice of the vice presidential candidate is entirely in the hands of Ronald Reagan, just like he is the boss and recruiting employees during the interview.

Of course, other people can also give suggestions, so Xia Yu's proposal now is not considered an overstep.

It was a long time before Ronald Reagan recovered. He looked at Xia Yu who was smiling and said solemnly: "Mr. Xia, your suggestion is very relevant, and I will consider it carefully."

"By the way, Mr. Xia, do you know George Bush?"

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "I don't know him at all, of course I am looking forward to meeting him."

Ronald Reagan nodded, regardless of what Xia Yu said, and said: "Okay, I am good friends with him, I think he will definitely want to meet you."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "I look forward to that day!"

After laughing, Xia Yu changed the topic: "Mr. Reagan, in the next four months, I will let my media company do its best to raise the flag for you. If the campaign funds, I will sponsor you another 10 million US dollars. Transfer it to your campaign account in a reasonable manner within a month."

Ronald Reagan was pleasantly surprised. His love for Xia Yu has risen linearly. He is indeed a bold boss. He has never asked him, but he is a person who supports you from beginning to end, and the support is strong, and he is particularly straightforward. .

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your great support, I will never forget your help to me!" Ronald Reagan said gratefully.

"Mr. Reagan, you deserve my support, and are we friends?" Xia Yu said with a smile.

Ronald Reagan nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, you will always be my friend, and one of the most important friends in my life!"

"Let's use coffee instead of wine to toast our friendship!"

"Cheers! Eternal friendship!"

Xia Yu smiled and raised the cup.

"Hey!"

...

"Rhodes You still need to work hard to help Mr. Reagan."

After celebrating, Xia Yu said to Rhodes Saxon who had been listening next to him.

Xia Yu is not a commanding tone. Although Rhodes Saxon was originally a financial elite, he is now only a member of Ronald Reagan's team.

But Youdao is one person who can ascend to heaven. As long as Ronald Reagan takes the post, Rhodes Saxon will jump into the White House and become a senior politician, and he will also be the president's confidant.

Rhodes Saxon also knew that his mission and the future were all related to Ronald Reagan, so he emphasized his assurance: "Don't worry, boss, I will fully support Mr. Reagan."

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Rhodes has been doing well and I am very satisfied with his work."

"That would be great."
