( ) A helicopter landed steadily on the makeshift tarmac at the farm, a holiday farm half an hour from New York.

But Li Xuan was too lazy to take a car, so he simply rented a helicopter. One is convenient and fast, and the other is safe and confidential! It only took him 20 minutes to fly here from the bustling Manhattan in the center of New York, and he didn't have to worry about a tail that couldn't be shaken behind him!

You must know that Li Xuan is also a popular figure who has attracted much media attention. Especially just a few days ago, he was in Austin awe-inspiringly stated that his relationship with the Republican Party and with President Bush is not close.

But if the paparazzi took a photo of him meeting the next character, it would be a shame, and it would ruin the good image that Li Xuan created before.

That's right, the middle-aged man who greeted him warmly with a smile as soon as he heard about the helicopter, regardless of the huge wind force brought by the helicopter's propeller, is not an ordinary person.

"Mr. Li, welcome to my farm!" This Mr. Andrew Card is quite handsome and has a very friendly smile!

He was the deputy chief of staff in the White House and one of Bush's most trusted confidants.

The White House is not only the place where the President of the United States lives, but also the office of the President. In order to better help the president run the country, the White House has a large and meticulous staff group.

Three of these positions are the most popular and are known as the three carriages of the White House, namely the White House Chief of Staff, the President's Chief Strategic Adviser, and the White House National Security Assistant.

Among them, the White House chief of staff is a more Chinese translation, and can also be called the White House chief of staff, which is equivalent to the chief executive of the US president!

Since the United States does not have the post of Prime Minister, the first-ranked Secretary of State in the Cabinet is more like the Minister of Foreign Affairs in charge of foreign affairs. Therefore, in addition to being responsible for the daily affairs of the president, the White House chief of staff also plays a very prominent role in coordinating the president and cabinet ministers, so it is known as the "second president" and "shadow prime minister".

The main responsibility of the deputy chief of staff of the White House is to assist the chief of staff in handling White House affairs, and his power is much smaller. However, after Bush entered the White House, he did not appoint his own chief strategic adviser, which made the power triangle in the White House seem to be missing a corner.

And this Mr. Andrew Card, the earliest Republican Senator from Massachusetts. After completing his six-year term as a senator, he was invited to the White House by Bush Sr. in 1984 as a special assistant to the vice president.

The two forged a deep friendship during Bush's second term as vice president. Therefore, although Card's position is only an assistant to His Excellency the Chief of Staff, he is deeply trusted by the president and is actually one of the troikas of the White House.

Of course, the various unknown factional struggles in the White House have nothing to do with Li Xuan. The reason why the Deputy Chief of Staff, His Excellency, invited Li Xuan to be a guest on his own small farm was mainly because of the entrustment of His Excellency the President!

According to the original plan, the person Li Xuan came to meet this time should be the chairman of the Republican National Committee. Political parties in the United States do not have strict party constitutions and disciplines, but can only be regarded as loose political alliances.

And the chairman of the Republican National Committee is not the supreme leader of the Republican Party. The real responsibility of this position is actually to organize and coordinate the Republican election work across the country.

Li Xuan and his subsidiary, the Oriental Group, are one of the important funders of the Republican Party. This year is an election year, so it is naturally the most appropriate for the chairman of the National Committee responsible for the election to communicate and coordinate with Li Xuan.

But the problem is that Mr. Chairman suddenly can't come, which is very embarrassing! Therefore, in order to show respect for Li Xuan, Bush Sr. temporarily appointed his confidant Card to meet with him.

To say that the person who released Li Xuan's pigeon is not a simple person! His character, Lee Atwater, is a campaign expert within the Republican Party.

This Mr. Atwater was an important member of Reagan's 1984 campaign team, and then as the campaign manager of the 1988 election of Bush Sr., successfully sent him to the White House! After Bush took the presidency, he appointed Atwater as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

This position can not only give full play to Atwater's superb talent in campaigning, but also allow him to make friends with various figures in the Republican Party and lay the foundation for his future political career.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talent. Atwater was planning an election dinner for the Republican Party at the beginning of the year when he suddenly felt unwell. After being sent to the hospital for examination, he was found to have brain cancer.

Over the past few months, Atwater has battled the disease while continuing to run the Republican campaign. The meeting with Li Xuan was proposed by him himself, but just yesterday his condition suddenly worsened and he could no longer work!

And Li Xuan also deliberately got to know this person for today's meeting. To say that his illness is a big disaster for the Republican Party's election this year.

Because the Republican Party's entire midterm election arrangement this year was made by Atwater. And when he fell ill, the Republican Party immediately felt a sense of panic!

But to Bush Sr., his losses may be even greater! Because Mr Atwater launched a smear campaign against Clinton early in his tenure as chairman of the Republican National Committee.

Because he thinks that this young Democratic governor from Arkansas is very likely to be an important threat to Bush's re-election campaign in 1992! I have to say, UU reading www.uukanshu.com his vision is very accurate, but it's a pity that God's will tricks people!

"Mr. Card, I noticed that the Democrats have recently launched a bill in the House of Representatives to cancel the MFN to China! You know this is more unacceptable than the extension of the MFN to China with additional conditions passed by the House of Representatives at the end of May. !"

Since Li Xuan was sitting in the living room of the deputy chief of staff's house, he unabashedly raised his concerns! According to Li Xuan's plan, the Oriental Group will gradually increase its domestic investment, and once the United States cancels the most-favored-nation treatment for China, the Oriental Group is bound to be seriously affected!

First of all, the import and export tariffs between China and the United States will definitely soar immediately, which will directly increase the production and sales costs of many products of the Oriental Group. At the same time, the resulting Sino-US friendship will definitely affect the internal communication between the Eastern Group.

You must know that the United States has always been the largest sales market of the Oriental Group, and the domestic position in the global layout of the Oriental Group will become more and more important! Therefore, for the Oriental Group, the warm-up of Sino-US relations is the most willing to see the situation!

"Mr. Li, you must also know that the Democratic Party has too much advantage in the House of Representatives, and it is difficult for us to prevent the Democratic Party from passing some proposals that are not conducive to us! But in the next Senate vote, we will try our best to prevent the Democratic Party's actions!

And on this issue, the attitude of the Presidential Cabinet is consistent and clear! Even if our block in the Senate fails, Mr. President will not hesitate to use his veto to shelve the bill! "For Li Xuan's concerns, Card gave a very clear reassurance.
