Chapter 405: There are loopholes

The news of lobbying the US Congress to investigate the Eastern Bloc turned out to be false. But Li Xuan had to defend in advance. If the US Congress really launched an investigation into the Oriental Group, he would probably suffer a big loss if he was caught off guard.

Like the acquisition of ra company by the Oriental Group, this kind of shocking merger involving up to 5 billion US dollars, if it is put under a magnifying glass and repeatedly analyzed, some flaws can always be found!

But if O'Neal, the speaker of the House of Representatives, can support the Eastern Bloc, it will be difficult for those dissenting voices to make much waves in the House. In the Senate, Bush Sr. will actively mediate for Li Xuan in the Republican Party. If Edward Kennedy can also actively mediate for Li Xuan in the Democratic Party, it will be difficult for opponents to achieve results in the Senate.

Of course, Edward and O'Neill, as political figures, naturally would not take the initiative to defend the Eastern bloc. But the two of them traveled thousands of miles from Boston to New York to attend Li Xuan's party, which was enough to convey a clear position to the outside world.

"Your Excellency the Speaker, welcome all of you!" Li Xuan shook hands with Tip O'Neal with a smile, and then introduced his sister Li Ying next to him, "This is my sister Eli, she is in New York. University study!"

"Beautiful lady, it's an honor to be at your party! This is my granddaughter Jenny, I believe you will have a lot in common!" O'Neill was very happy and introduced himself to Li Ying, who was wearing a dark evening dress. Tall girl.

The two girls went to the side to chat very intimately, leaving room for Li Xuan and O'Neal to talk.

"Li, I heard that you have been in trouble recently!" O'Neal said with great interest.

Tip O'Neal Jr. A Democrat who even President Reagan had a headache and trouble with. Li Xuan did not meet him many times, but it was in the face of the dollar. The two are now talking happily like old friends.

"Yes, I was tricked by a few Jewish juniors!" Li Xuan shook his head and smiled wryly.

"Hi! Lee. I'm sorry, I'm late! This is my niece, Caroline!" Edward Kennedy took a blond, blue-eyed and beautiful white girl and stepped forward to say hello.

"Hey, Caroline, I thought it was a beautiful angel who came down to attend my sister's party. I'm glad you can come!" Li Xuan praised with a smile.

The Kennedy family is born with good skin, handsome men and beautiful women. This Miss Caroline should be the eldest daughter of President Kennedy. in another time and space. When her uncle Edward passed away, the Kennedy family's influence in American politics fell into an embarrassing situation.

At this time, Li Ying, who had been paying attention to her brother's situation, also came up quietly. Caroline has just come to settle in New York. She is now working at the Metropolitan Museum in upper Manhattan. Li Ying chatted about life in New York as she liked.

After Li Ying invited Caroline to leave, the three men resumed their previous conversation. Li Xuan gently pursed his mouth and gestured not far away. Several people were chatting happily around there.

"Recently, news broke out in New York that someone is going to lobby Congress to investigate the acquisition of RA by the Eastern Group. Although we found it to be a false alarm after our investigation, the Honourable Charles Levy, MP. The third son of the Bamberg family is very close. And that Mr. Gerry and his friends have caused me hundreds of millions of dollars in losses!" Li Xuan said in a calm tone.

According to the information collected by the ra company, although Gerry Bamberg and others have no intention of really lobbying Congress to initiate the investigation of the Eastern Group. But they are actively persuading a few familiar lawmakers to publicly criticize the previous ra mergers and acquisitions.

Thus further creating a Congress is really possible. The illusion of public opinion to investigate the Oriental Group, which in turn leads the capital market to further doubt the prospects of the Oriental Group. In the end, the stock price of Computer Garden Company fell further!

"Yes, they are a bunch of troublemakers! Looks like I'll have to talk to Congressman Levy later, and his energy should be more focused on issues that concern the majority of voters, rather than a small Get people to serve!" O'Neal also glanced over there and said coldly.

Levy sounds like a Jewish surname. Although American politics is a two-party system, Jewish forces have deep influence in both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

On many issues related to Jewish interests, these legislators, who are influenced by Jewish groups, often vote without prioritizing the interests of the party and the interests of the United States, but often putting Israel-Israel interests first.

For example, Congress has been debating the issue of withdrawing troops from Lebanon for nearly half a year. In fact, O'Neill has reached a private compromise with President Reagan on this issue. But opposition to the withdrawal remains strong in the House of Representatives, including both Republicans and Democrats.

The opposition forces in the Lebanese civil war are becoming more and more aggressive against the government forces, and the supporter behind this is the Syrian government. Once U.S. peacekeepers in Lebanon are fully withdrawn, Lebanon could soon be completely controlled by Syria. Syria has always been one of the vanguards against Israel in the Middle East~www.readwn.com~ As the Speaker of the House of Representatives, O'Neill was unable to effectively command members of his own party. This behavior of Jewish groups has seriously challenged O'Neal's authority, he naturally would not have any good feelings for the Jewish forces.

"Lee, I have to remind you of one thing, when the new congressmen just take office after the congress has completed the replacement election, it is often the time when the party-group has the weakest control over them! The proposal of the Eastern Group, the first week or two of the new parliament opening after New Year's Day, is definitely the best time to do it!" Edward reminded loudly.

Now that Congress has entered a recess at the end of the year, on January 3 next year, the newly elected members of the Senate and House of Representatives will be officially sworn in! Compared with only one-third of the seats in the Senate, that is, 33 seats, all the more than 400 seats in the House of Representatives are re-elected.

The caucus will take some time to fully understand the new faces who are walking on Capitol Hill for the first time, and then make them obey their orders. But these rookies are often eager to make their voices heard, so they are easily influenced by off-field factors.

Li Xuan thought that his arrangement was foolproof, but he did not expect that there were actually huge loopholes. (To be continued..)
