I Am Gwen's Spider-Man Mentor

Chapter 42

From Raymond's point of view, there is the safest method, which is also the most commonly used by high-level corporate executives and people in administrative departments, namely:
Raymond objectively stated this matter to Stephanie, and took the responsibility for failing to prevent Tony Stark from disbanding Stark Industries' military business, promising to minimize the impact of the corresponding incident.

This way he will leave an impression on Stephanie as loyal, responsible, responsible, or in general, reliable - a reliable person will be a reliable partner in the eyes of any investor - at least you don't have to Worried that he took the money you invested and ran away, and retreated 1000 million steps and said that the task assigned to him will definitely have a feedback.

But...is this enough?
Perhaps for ordinary people, this is enough; even for most investors on Wall Street, this is enough—these days, even the most credible Wall Street fund manager recommended to you by the entrepreneur may not Someone with such a conscience as Raymond Xu.

But for the bureaucrats in Washington who are looking for rare goods anytime and anywhere, and eager to get a fortune with a book, reliability is not even the beginning of the end of the game, but only the end of the beginning of the game-those bureaucrats, can Who has climbed up the steps of Washington and has not made such an answer that can not only protect himself, but also win favor with his superiors?

As an outsider in Washington DC, Professor Xu's standard insider statement may reassure Stephanie for a while, but he is an outsider in this circle after all-if he wants to get benefits, resources and platforms in the circle, Professor Xu A bold answer is needed.

This, Professor Xu knows, Stephanie knows, Stephanie knows that Professor Xu knows, Professor Xu also knows that Stephanie knows that she knows.

But neither of the two smart people who met by chance said anything, they just quietly held the wine glasses in their hands, the liquid in the glasses was as calm as the eyes of the two without any ripples.

Among the skyscrapers, the feasting and feasting are woven into a boundless dream; amidst the sparkling traffic, colorful lights shine brightly, and chatter and laughter are lively.Contracts, options, and intentions weave Hong Zhong Dalu, and the sound of desire and money colliding laughs heartily among quiet whispers.Crossing the reinforced concrete, the Hudson River collides recklessly on the island of Manhattan, splits into two branches in the brilliance of the stream, merges into one in the interplay of toasts, and finally merges into the ancient waves of the Atlantic Ocean under the illumination of golden lanterns.

In this world where everything is measured by money, even an inexplicable fate, or an endless history, is just a trivial modification in front of the capitalized Manhattan.

Raymond raised his eyes and looked at the luxurious statues behind the director and on both sides of the hall. After a few seconds, he slightly raised the champagne glass in his hand to signal Stephanie, and then drank the golden wine in the glass. Bowing decisively, the tone is deep:
"Ma'am, I take full responsibility."

Then the professor just remained silent, looking at Stephanie with his night-like eyes calmly and without emotion.
"Courageous enough!"

The corners of Stephanie's eyes twitched, accident was her first reaction——

In her estimation, as long as Professor Xu is willing to state the facts objectively and take part of the responsibility, she will continue this investment.

But the other party actually chose to take full responsibility——

You know that includes the Tony Stark part too-

No matter how many people know how big a baby Tony Stark is, after Professor Xu said this, all the problems——

Whether it's a crash in financial markets, dismal economic data, a depression in the local economy, or a constitutional crisis caused by massive legal battles --

In a word, because of any disturbance caused by Stark's industrial transformation, Raymond Xu will meet the full anger of senior officials in Washington, members of Congress and senators who are affected by it.

At that time, to be hit and killed by a dump truck in the street was considered a great gift from the masters of Congress.

But, on the other hand, from Stephanie's standpoint, these words are not only Professor Xu's commitment to responsibility, but also the general idea of ​​how to deal with the aftermath—

Let Raymond Xu take all the responsibilities, and naturally, he also needs to be given the corresponding power.

This is extremely arrogant, but it sounds very reasonable to Stephanie-giving and receiving are equal, this is the underlying code of Washington DC, and it is the only code.

"..."

In a split second, Stephanie reassesses Raymond: a new-age Richard Millhouse—for the enormous risks are matched by unprecedented rewards.

As long as Raymond Xu can make Tony Stark's vision come true, and at the same time keep Mr. President's concerns from becoming a reality, he will immediately be regarded by Washington as his real man - a man with flexible wrists and high ability. , Loyal and reliable own people.

Any president, any administration, even any Congress would love a collaborator like that.This means that Raymond Xu's future road will be a road to the sky. The most optimistic prediction is that if this young man can maintain this sense of responsibility and ability in the next 40 years of his career, he will be in the West Wing of the White House Nor is it delusional.

Stephanie's gaze softened when she looked at Raymond. At such an important moment of decision, she put aside her perception of Raymond's personal ambitions and risk appetite.

After a while, the Director of National Intelligence raised his glass with a smile, with a sincere and straightforward smile: "President Xu, thank you for your frankness. You remind me of my hometown, Nevada."

Hearing the word "Nevada," Raymond knew his big gamble had begun.

----split line----

After Stephanie left, Raymond finally breathed a sigh of relief. The professor walked to the edge of the party hall with an empty champagne glass, and sat down heavily on the chair, as if the gamble just now had drained all of him. General strength.

Take full responsibility for the disbandment of Stark Industries' military business section - this is easy to say, and a three-year-old child will say this, but only after you really take this responsibility on your shoulders will you realize how complicated it is things.

Stark Industries has more than 25 employees, and the military business involves 16% of them, that is, more than 16 people. This does not involve contractors and related parties. Tony Stark hopes to lay off [-] people. At the same time, control the impact as much as possible.

Stark Industries' factories, contractors, and affiliated companies are almost all over the United States. Whether it is the DEM Donkey Party or the GOP Elephant Party, many congressmen's constituencies have Stark Industries' facilities and employees.If he causes a wave of unemployment in any congressman's constituency, then the congressman will attack the president, and eventually all the pressure will be directly fed back to him.

It can be said that the five territories of the fifty states and one special zone of the United States are all on the shoulders of Raymond Xu.

After all, he said it himself-I am willing to bear all the responsibilities caused by it.

As long as you think about it briefly, you will know that he needs to consider comprehensively, including but not limited to the following factors:
The number of constituencies involving 16 people, the complex employment situation in the constituencies, the role Stark Industries plays in the industrial chain, and whether cutting certain business segments will cause some upstream or downstream suppliers to lose orders or fail to complete business , resulting in the collapse of the supply chain.

This is only the impact on the physical manufacturing industry. Stock market giants like Stark Industries have cut off their main business. It is not known how long Wall Street speculators will keep calm about this news.

Raymond didn't know anything else, but he knew one thing-those speculators were less courageous than chickens.

Maybe now some underground banks are starting to bet that Raymond Xu will be finished within a few days.

But if you don't do it yourself, what can you do?Raymond Xu smiled wryly. Gwen Stacy, an undergraduate student on the verge of failing a course and a young girl with a weak crown, gambled her life many times for the justice she insisted on in her heart.She doesn't care about fame or fortune, but for the justice and kindness in her heart that are extremely ridiculous in the eyes of others and extremely naive in the eyes of Raymond.

"With great power comes great responsibility." The professor said silently.

Gwen's abilities are nothing more than amazing arm strength and recovery ability, nothing more than the ability to fly between tall buildings, and nothing more than spider sensing. What is this ability in front of the state machine of the United States?What is a little brute force in front of those fat-headed, intrigue-soaked, fat-headed guys on Capitol Hill?
It's nothing more than a thug with bad political sense and good ability-just used to eliminate dissidents.

The so-called superheroes are all kinds of people, but they also have people’s hearts. As long as they are human, they have human nature. As long as they have human nature, they may have weaknesses and be exploited. Baron Zemo has already confirmed this to the world. up.What Zemo can do, Washington bureaucrats may not be unable to do.

Although in the eyes of the superiors, Gwen is so weak, but she uses her own blood over and over again, trying to fill the city and even the country's desire for crime.

She really bled for it and really enjoyed it.

A 20-year-old young girl is so responsible, what reason does he have to shrink back?
A man should always have a bit of dignity, hiding behind the skinny figure of a 20-year-old girl to survive, sit back and watch disaster happen, bad luck hits the door, and then wait for the girl to rescue him, this is what a man should have behavior?

fuck it!

Raymond took a long breath, stood up again, and put on a standard smiling face for himself to deal with politicians.The professor took the champagne glass from the waiter again, and then plunged into the neon light, the power field that was full of feasting and feasting, but also like an abyss that could swallow anyone.

　I'm considering superpowers, but I don't want to make it too abrupt. If I think it will affect the overall text, I might not add it, or even if I add it, it is not a combat ability.

　　The last chapter of the bureaucratic drama may be said to be watery, but the existing problems still need to be explained clearly. In addition, it is a key node in the transition of Professor Xu from being wise and safe to letting go of gambling.He had never been so reckless before this, including going to see Tony.
