Chapter 627: Li Xuan's Trouble (Part 2)

As this year's midterm elections draw nearer, the battle between the Republican and Democratic parties is also intensifying. Bush's recent life has not been very easy. Since both the Senate and the House of Representatives are controlled by the Democratic Party, they have begun to put pressure on the government budget issue, hoping to force the president to make concessions on the tax rate issue.

In addition, Democrats have recently found a new weapon, which is to prepare to pass a new "Civil Rights Act". Simply put, the Democratic Party hopes to improve the rights of minorities, especially black Americans, by amending the Civil Rights Act, so as to win the support of this part of the voters.

But the traditional supporters of Bush Sr. and the Republican Party are conservative whites in the central and southern parts of the United States. This puts Bush in a very embarrassing situation.

If he supports the Democrats' motion, it means that his fundamentals will be seriously shaken. And if he opposes the amendment of the "Civil Rights Act", then a large number of black voters will instantly stand against him and become supporters of the Democratic Party.

In fact, Bush Sr.'s recent ambiguous attitude on this issue has aroused the dissatisfaction of many black voters. Polls show his support among black voters is declining.

In order to win the support of black voters in this constituency, some Republican candidates have even begun to take the initiative to cut their positions with Bush Sr. With the Democratic Party occupying the majority of seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives at the same time, if some members of the party defect again, Bush's presidential power is likely to be seriously eroded.

You must know that according to the American political system, as long as more than two-thirds of the Senate and the House of Representatives vote in favor, any decision of the president can be forcibly overturned!

But campaigning is a very expensive affair, especially for rookies with less seniority and influence. On the one hand, their own ability to raise campaign funds is limited, and on the other hand, the Democratic Party will regard them as the key target of the attack.

Therefore, the most effective way for Bush to increase his influence on the members of the party is to give money! And the Eastern Group, a big company that has money and is willing to spend money on politics, is naturally Bush Sr.'s best helper.

Card came to meet with Li Xuan on behalf of Bush Sr. The main purpose was to hope that the political action committees (pa) under the Eastern Group that were established in accordance with the US election law could provide the president with the opportunity to expand his influence in the party in terms of the use of funds. some convenience.

Li Xuan is a businessman, and he pays attention to what he can do to reap the rewards. For example, he has gained a lot today, and the Democratic commissioner Rodino, whose term is coming to an end, has been determined to be kicked out. As for the choice of the new commissioner f, Li Xuan also decided to make a deal with the Democratic Party. He's going to pick at least one Democratic commissioner who won't run against the Eastern Bloc.

After a charcoal-grilled steak dinner at the deputy chief of staff's farm, Li Xuan flew back to his Manhattan home overnight by helicopter. At the beginning, Li Xuan used the cover of coming to Columbia University to study BA, and Chen Cang personally planned the acquisition of RA company, which made the name of Oriental Group become a household name in the United States for the first time.

At that time, Li Xuan was not the richest man in the world as he is now. He bought a penthouse on the Upper East Side so he could take classes at Columbia University. Later, when he returned to Hong Kong, the apartment became the residence of his younger sister, Li Ying, when she was studying at New York University.

Now Li Ying has also returned to Hong Kong long ago and started to be in charge of the operation and management of the family charitable fund, the Haichuan Foundation. And this luxury apartment on East 6th Street in Upper Manhattan has never been sold, but it is no longer suitable for Li Xuan to live in.

Although the space of this apartment is 400 to 500 square meters, with a master bedroom and four guest bedrooms, it is already very spacious for ordinary families. But Li Xuan is going out now, and there are no less than ten people in the security team beside him.

Although not all of these people have to live with him, it is inevitable to leave a few in charge to protect him personally. In addition to the bodyguards, Li Xuan also has a group of assistants and secretaries beside him, who are responsible for his itinerary and assisting him with company affairs.

Although he has left the daily operations of the Oriental Group to the management, there are always many things that need him to make decisions.

The original apartment on the Upper East Side really couldn’t hold that many people. A few years ago, Li Xuan bought a new luxury house on the "Gold Coast" of the Upper East Side. The so-called "Gold Coast" refers to the area between East 70th Street and East 77th Street in Upper Manhattan.

This seven-block house is one of the most expensive places in New York and even on the East Coast of the United States. It can be described as an inch of land and an inch of gold, so New Yorkers dubbed this area the "Gold Coast".

For example, Li Xuan bought this four-story mansion on East 7th Street. It was built in 1898 and has a history of nearly a hundred years. In addition to 0 bedrooms, the house has three living rooms, two dining rooms, two study rooms, and a spacious dining room for dancing parties.

"Li Sheng, I just called from London, and r company has officially replied, agreeing to Aikang company as a competitor, to join a & r's acquisition!" Li Xuan just entered the house, an administrative secretary immediately reported to him .

Li Xuan was a bit taboo when he met with senior White House officials in private. So when he took a helicopter to Kade's farm before, he was also light and simple, with only two or three people with him~www.readwn.com~ What was the reaction there? "Li Xuan asked casually.

"not yet!"

"Then move on to the next step! Has Currie arrived in Hong Kong? Let him meet with Yang Ling, and prepare to start a campaign!" Li Xuan said decisively.

Currie was the only one of the three founders who stayed behind when Aikang was acquired by Li Xuan. He started out as chief technology officer at Icon, and has moved into executive affairs in recent years.

Just last year, Hawke, the former chairman and CEO of Ikon, decided to resign to pursue a career in politics. Currie succeeded him as the new CEO of Ikon.

According to Li Xuan's instructions, Currie will meet with Yang Lingjun, chairman of the board of directors of Jiahua Bank, on behalf of Aikang in Hong Kong. The two parties will reach a series of cooperation agreements to promote the public promotion of computers and interconnection, and to popularize them better and faster in the financial industry in Hong Kong.

Since Aikang intends to enter the financial computer field, it is only natural that it chooses to bid for R company with a&!

Of course, this is just a bureau set up by Li Xuan for A& Company, Aikang Company's battle line is long enough now. It is now the world's largest computer maker and supplier of connected equipment.

Even if the next step is to prepare for transformation, Aikang will not focus on financial computers, such a market segment.

Aikang's next goal should be to become the world's largest supplier of communications equipment. In the future era of mobile Internet, become the leading provider of overall solutions.
