America is in control

Chapter 86 Ostrich likes to bury his head in the soil, but lions don’t

After hanging up the phone, Liu Jiang looked around at the people sitting around him.

"Gentlemen, tell me what you think!"

His eyes fell on Harvey first.

"John, the meaning of the other party's words is already obvious. If the money is in place, everything will be easy to discuss."

"The two conditions you proposed are not that big of a deal to be honest. The other party can definitely fulfill them."

"I prefer to end this matter as soon as possible. Your energy should not be spent on arguing with these politicians."

Harvey analyzed it rationally and gave his own suggestions.

General Liu looked at Alfonso again, who pondered for a while and said, "I also think this matter should be resolved quickly."

"But we have to think carefully about letting the other party succeed so easily this time."

"If the other party does this again next time, how should we respond?"

Nodding towards Alfonso, Liu Jiang looked at Li Chengxiong again.

As his personal accountant, Li Chengxiong is also Li Ziang's uncle.

After being tested by General Liu, he has now become a member of this small circle.

"Boss, can we do something with the donation process?"

"Didn't you put forward two conditions?"

"We can arrange payment in installments, pay part of the deposit first, and then donate the subsequent funds based on the other party's completion."

"This way we won't break up with each other, and we can properly express our attitude."

Li Chengxiong pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and the light in his eyes flashed away.

"Oh! This seems to be a good idea! Harvey, what do you think?"

Looking at Harvey again, Liu General's eyes were clearly moved.

"Will this anger the other party? Will the Underwoods think we are looking down on them?"

Harvey was hesitant. He knew very little about the Underwoods and could only consider the worst case scenario.

"In fact, dealing with politicians is just like doing business. Strictly speaking, this should be our first transaction with the other party."

"If we are not careful, we will only be taken as the enemy and manipulated at will!"

"Business should be like a business. You can't give in casually just because the other party is big!"

Li Chengxiong suddenly interrupted and made a more vivid metaphor.

"But."

Harvey was still thinking about what to say when Alfonso suddenly spoke.

"I think we can give it a try. If the other party really takes any action, then we will give in!"

"If you don't dare to try, then you will really be a soft persimmon at the mercy of others."

"No matter how much money you make, the other party can ask for it from you at will, so what's the point?"

After listening to Alfonso's words, General Liu fell into deep thought.

The expression on his face was uncertain, and the corners of his eyes twitched from time to time.

After a long time, he stood up suddenly and slammed the table so hard that the phone was shaken.

"FXXK! Do it! If you act like an ostrich, you will only be swallowed up by the opponent!"

"Besides, my current popularity and strength are not comparable to those when I first won the boxing championship."

"If you really make me anxious, I will support his competitors. I will disgust him to death!"

General Liu made up his mind. He did not want to invite an evil Buddha to be enshrined at home, and he would be eaten clean by it accidentally.

Alfonso and Li Chengxiong nodded in unison, and the three of them looked at Harvey together.

Seeing that General Liu had made up his mind, Harvey frowned and thought for a moment before giving a reminder.

"John, no matter what, don't get into a confrontational situation."

"At this critical juncture, Frank can probably do anything."

"Don't forget, there is a big shot behind you!"

Harvey's reminder was crucial. General Liu instantly realized that he actually had another card in his hand.

But he wasn't sure whether this card would work or not. The idea of ​​confrontation is indeed not advisable, but we still have to fight for what needs to be fought for.

"Don't worry! Harvey, those were just my angry words, don't take them seriously!"

"Would you support me giving it a try now?"

Harvey nodded and said slowly: "I support you in making limited attempts. If the situation is not right, it is better to give in as soon as possible."

Everyone reached a consensus and took action immediately.

Recruiting staff, transferring funds, and the Sopno Family Foundation was officially launched.

Three days later, the first donation was transferred to the Clean Water Project's account.

Washington DC, Frank returned home, a trace of exhaustion unconsciously showing on his face.

The process of competing for the party whip was so grueling that it almost drained him of all his energy.

Claire came up to him, gave him a gentle hug, and took the briefcase from his hand.

“How are donations going today?”

With a gentle kiss on the other person's cheek, Frank asked the question he cared about most.

"I haven't read the report yet, but the situation is not very optimistic."

Claire tilted her face and took the initiative to cater to him. She raised her head slightly, inadvertently revealing her long and slender neck.

Frank's expression darkened, and even as the other party rubbed his lips with his pretty face, his eyes began to turn cold.

"Darling, I want to see the report first!"

The gentle tone conveyed firm will. Claire stiffened and slowly turned her head back.

"As you wish, Francis."

The two came to the study one after another, and Claire separated out a stack of reports and handed them to Frank.

The only sound left in the room was the swishing of paper.

"Dear, it seems that the Sopno Family Foundation was established by that boy named John!"

"Why is the donation only a mere $30,000? This is different from the number you told me last time."

"What part of the problem is there? That boy is not fooling me!"

Frank raised the corners of his mouth, looking like he was smiling but not smiling, and his eyes were full of cruelty.

He now looked like a hungry lone wolf, eager to devour flesh and blood.

Claire followed the other person's fingers and saw that the name was correct, but there was something wrong with the amount.

"Could it be that the other party made a mistake? After all, this is his first donation through the foundation."

"I'll call him and ask."

She picked up the landline, dialed the number, and pressed the loudspeaker button.

After about ten seconds, the call was connected.

"Hello! This is John."

"I'm Claire! John, did you get the wrong number for your donation this time? What you told me at that time was US$7!"

After hearing Claire's familiar voice, General Liu hurriedly made a silent gesture to everyone.

He pressed the speaker button and put the phone on the table.

Everyone in Harvey's office quietly gathered around.

Liu Jiang cleared his throat and said into the phone: "That's right! This is my first donation, Claire."

"There will be a second one, a third one, and even more."

"As long as I can see the results, I will donate the remaining donations immediately!"

There was an extremely suppressed breathing sound on the other end of the phone.

"Bang! Bang!"

Dull knocking sounds sounded one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

　thanks for your support!
