Chapter 0615: Meeting and Admonishment
Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Park Avenue, New York.
Ava put down the phone, turned around and walked to the bedroom with two long legs: "Boss, the president has left early." ”
"Oh?" smiled absently, Li Zitao glanced at the newspaper on the table with the corner of his eye, and said, "It seems that our Mr. President is in a hurry." ”
"Ava, get the restaurant ready... Bring me the sake I prepared. Mary chose a watch in the suitcase and placed it next to her husband to compare the colors before bringing it to his satisfaction.
"No, that bottle of wine was specially prepared for my wedding anniversary. Li Zitao immediately objected.
Last year, because of the national debt and loans, he was so busy that he forgot about the important anniversary of June 5.
This year, Li Zitao had a lot of effort to find two bottles of classic brandy from the 1788 vintage.
The production method of this wine has been lost, there are only 3 bottles left, and if you drink one bottle, you will lose one bottle, and it was originally sold in a cup, 800 dollars a cup.
Li Zitao asked the other party to agree to sell the whole bottle to him at a high price of 30,000 yuan per bottle.
"We can leave a bottle and pair it with some noble rot... I love that taste. Mary glanced at him with a charming look, so that Li Zitao immediately fell silent.
He can't stand his wife's coquettishness, and the indifference and elegance of the empty orchid are integrated into her beautiful eyes that can talk, and he can see people's bones at a glance.
Seeing Li Zitao standing in front of the mirror without saying a word and smirking, 'letting the princess take care of his appearance and dressing him, Ava walked out in despair.
"It's over, the boss has been completely controlled by the queen, should I please her?" Ava pondered whether to rebel, but the boss couldn't be trusted.
After getting the news that the car had arrived downstairs, Li Zitao walked to the restaurant with the wine, feeling a little regretful, "Such a good wine should be used to invite a bad old man!"
Roosevelt came up with a strange face, and looking at the other party's dress, serious face, and meticulous appearance, he knew that he was an agent of the Secret Service.
It seems that people in S.H.I.E.L.D. are gradually being excluded, and this kind of thing is normal, but as the president, he is protected by private institutions.
Don't say what he thinks, just the government employees of Washington and the Secret Service feel that their faces are being slapped.
"Roosevelt, haha......" Li Zitao didn't have the heart to grab a job with the secret service, the periphery is the periphery, and he still protects the president!
"Charlie, you've caused me a lot of trouble. Roosevelt said as he came up to him in an electric wheelchair and patted him on the back enthusiastically.
"There will be trouble with any interest, just as opportunity always comes with danger. Pushing his wheelchair to the opposite side, Roosevelt did not refuse this gesture of closeness.
"What do you want to eat?" Returning to his position, Li Zitao snapped his fingers at the waiter.
"Whatever, let's get down to business!" Roosevelt said earnestly.
"Okay, let's have a drink first. He motioned for the waiter to open the wine, and the amber color was shining, and the delicate and bright liquid slowly fell into the glass.
"What do you want to know?" picked up the wine glass and sipped the bright brandy, the rich and mellow flavor collided between the mouth, making people reluctant to swallow.
"Really good wine. Putting down the glass, Roosevelt looked at him with burning eyes and asked, "What do you want to do?"
"Someone has taken a fancy to Japanese assets, and I'm just helping them out to see if I can buy a few useful companies. ”
Li Zitao said with a smile, there is no need to play that false game with Roosevelt, it will easily affect the relationship between the two.
This president is not easy to get along with, and the power in his hands continues to swell, so that both houses are under his influence and moderation.
and the increasingly inflated and powerful Federal Reserve, which can be said to be a pawn of his president.
There is absolutely no good end to offending Roosevelt, otherwise how could the bigwigs on Wall Street be so generous that they open their purse bags without a little hidden performance.
However, the main responsibility cannot be borne by him, fortunately he has won over a lot of people this time, and the British have long been dissatisfied with Japan, which is making trouble in East Asia.
Especially the rampant performance of this group of pigs with circle-legged legs in Mingzhu, the two sides have long formed a bond.
Hearing that Li Zitao was going to 'ransack' the Japanese debt, he took the opportunity to buy the Japanese industry, and the greedy predators followed with drooling.
"Who is it?" Roosevelt chose to attack Japan at this time with a gloomy face, did they want to start a war?
"*****, Barclays, HSBC, Goldman Sachs, ......" Every time Li Zitao said a name, the gloom on Roosevelt's face was heavier.
"And your rich country, right?" Roosevelt asked, looking up at him.
"I was about to say. Touching the stubble on his chin with his hand, Li Zitao pretended to spread his hands lightly and said: "My friend, this is just business, besides, doesn't Washington think that Japan's development is too fast?"
"That has nothing to do with us, the United States and Japan have always maintained friendly relations, and the growth of Japan will be of great help to hold Southeast Asia hostage. Roosevelt said as his brain raced to find a solution.
"That's a matter of Washington, we are just businessmen, and Japan's vigorous development has kept the social economy in a tense state.
Under the influence of the Great Depression, it is like a clockwork to the extreme, and it only needs to be pushed harder, and it will blow up to the sky... How can you let go of such a good opportunity,
If it succeeds, the pressure at home will be correspondingly reduced...
We're helping the Federation deal with economic pressures, are we doing something wrong?"
Hearing Li Zitao say this, Roosevelt paused slightly, and then said expressionlessly: "Aren't you afraid that Japan will start a war in advance and expand the war situation to feed the war with war?"
"That's better in advance, it's better for both sides to be unprepared, than for one side to be prepared and the other side to be dreaming. Li Zitao spread his hands indifferently.
Glancing at Li Zitao deeply, Roosevelt said earnestly, "Charlie, don't forget that you are American, and not everyone will believe what you say." ”
Li Zitao's hand holding the wine paused for two seconds, and said with a calm smile, "Of course I know this, if you want to say the reason, it's just that the Japanese have gone too far." ”
"You know, Roosevelt, I never meddle in politics!" Li Zitao said very sincerely, and looked at him with clear eyes, as if to let him see through his heart.
"I hope so, as sad as it is to say that, but my friend... This will make you be watched by countless eyes, and any wind and grass may lead to misunderstandings.
This is a normal business move, but you have to know how to stop in moderation, once it triggers a higher level of conflict...
Trust me, they won't hesitate to scapegoat. ”
Roosevelt pointed to his arm and admonished him earnestly.
Li Zitao knew exactly what he was referring to, and the distinctive yellow skin under his shirt always meant that he was out of step with the mainstream of this world.
This is also the reason why he needs Goldman Sachs, if Li Zitao takes the lead in person, I am afraid that all kinds of conspiracy theories will drown him in an instant.
