Chapter 401: Focus on HSD

Washington's 25-meter-high Capitol Hill. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A 233-meter-long three-story building with white marble as the main material, and a large three-story dome with a high appearance rate on the central top floor, on which a 6-meter-high bronze statue of Lady Liberty stands. The north and south wings on either side of the dome are the Capitol buildings, where the House of Representatives and the Senate are located, respectively.

It is modeled after the Pantheon in Paris, and strives to express its majesty, emphasizing monumentality, and is a representative work of classical Revival style architecture.

In the office, old Smith took a puff of a cigar, exhaled the smoke, and tasted the mellow aroma, David had just left, as a staff member who had been with him for 8 years, David was trustworthy, had followed him for many years, knew the way to Washington, and knew how to deal with politicians.

In fact, the best way out for people like David is to join a lobbying company, but David's attitude towards life is too much pursuit of stability, this time Andy acquired "Newsweek", the old Smith attaches great importance to it, and treats this important mouthpiece, an important platform for the declaration of American universal values, can not be sloppy at all, and Andy is too young and has played politics all his life, and the old Smith naturally knows how dirty it is.

There must be an expert who knows this to protect his grandson, economics and politics are never separated, and almost all big companies in the United States spend more money on lobbying firms in Washington every year and on advertising.

It's just that it depends on the meaning of David and Andy, in any case, his grandson also needs a professional who is good at dealing with the government, and at the same time helps him guard against all kinds of intrigues.

The world has never been calm and safe, especially in the world of rich people who occupy a lot of resources, if I remember correctly, a newspaper in the rabbit country in the previous life once wanted to buy and acquire "Newsweek" at a high price, and was directly kicked out of the first round.

Andy, who flew to Washington on a private jet, naturally did not know that his grandfather had already begun to build a team of private consultants for him.

In the conference room of the private jet, everyone was discussing fiercely, making plans for adjusting after taking over Newsweek, and the assistant Torrey Black on the other side was very nervous and looked at Iva, the girlfriend of the big demon king who had been smiling softly but with sharp eyes.

"I've seen your photos in the newspaper before, but today is the first time I've seen you, the real person is more beautiful than the photo, and Andy doesn't embarrass you at work, right?" Ivana asked softly with a smile on the corner of her mouth, looking at the little assistant who was obviously a little uncomfortable.

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Ivana, usually I am mainly responsible for helping the boss clean up the office, preparing briefings or something, the boss usually is very busy after work, and he is very focused at work, and needs a quiet environment, so except for delivering coffee, I hardly dare to disturb his work... ”

Torrey Blake forced down his weak heart, sat upright, and replied solemnly. She's a novice in the workplace, but she's not a fool, if she behaves too weakly at this time, with the intelligence of a woman like Ivana, she is guaranteed to be greasy, and then she will be miserable, damn the big devil, why bring yourself!

"Hehe, yes, he really hates to be disturbed when he is focused, and when it comes to coffee, I've heard Andy talk about it, saying that the coffee you brew is very good... ”

"Miss Ivana, wait a minute, I'll make you a drink!"

Torrey Blake took the conversation with great interest, took out three boxes from his bag, stood up, smiled apologetically, and walked briskly to the galley at the front of the cabin with his high heels.

Ivana looked at the back of the little assistant, with a faint smile on her face, but the doubts in her heart did not completely dissipate, and the real thoughts in her heart may only be clear to herself, looking at Andy, who was not far away with a serious expression and listening to his advice, she couldn't help but think of what he said to himself when he returned home to pack his luggage, and his eyes became more determined.

Since he is the right person, then he must always hold it firmly in his hands, and no one will want to take it away from him!

At Washington-Dulles Airport, four black Escalades outside the apron of private jets have been waiting for a long time, Andy and Ivana walked down the suspension ladder with ten fingers clasped, and after getting into the car, Andy said slightly apologetically: "Honey, I'm sorry, I've been in a meeting, and I don't have time to accompany you... ”

"It doesn't matter, after all, this acquisition is the most important thing, once the acquisition is completed, my God, I can't imagine that the whole United States will be shocked by this news, people will not care about the details, they will only remember that you bought Newsweek with a 70-year-old history of 4 million subscriptions for a dollar, and they will call you the new giant of the publishing industry!"

The more Ivana spoke, the brighter her eyes became, and her voice became slightly excited and sharp, holding Andy's cheeks with both hands, "Honey, this is simply amazing, incredible, I love you!"

Andy gladly accepted the fragrant kiss and turned the shallow taste into a hot deep kiss, until Ivana's gasp became heavy, then let go of her red lips and licked his own lips, Andy took the ruddy-faced Ivana into his arms and looked out the car window at the scenery that kept disappearing backwards.

"My dear, it's up to you to celebrate the completion of the acquisition, I need Washington to re-acquaint Newsweek, and I also need to ease the relationship between Weekly and the White House, and I can't be as stiff as before. Andy stroked Ivana's back in his arms and kissed her hair twice.

Ivana's beautiful eyes flashed with bright light, she was very excited, sat up straight, grabbed Andy's big hand with her jade hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, dear, I will prepare everything, thank you, dear." ”

Andy knew what Ivana's last thank you was, after all, this banquet was going to be held in the name of the Smith family, and his grandfather promised to help him invite guests, including the president's family.

This banquet will be in the spotlight in Washington, and as his pillow person, Andy naturally knows the character of his girlfriend very well.

She likes to be in the spotlight, and she likes this kind of gathering of big names, which allows her to show off her style and build connections, and sometimes Andy feels that maybe Washington is more suitable for Ivana.

Since she likes it, satisfy her, as long as she is happy!

Andy himself knows that he may not be able to fully satisfy Ivana emotionally, and he has done a lot of things to make up for it in other ways, at least to reduce a trace of guilt in his heart.

Well, it may be a bit hypocritical, but in such a thing as feelings, no matter how heartless you are, you will be moved.

The hotel I stayed in still chose CP International Hotel, after all, it would make Ivana feel at home, and I still chose the luxury suite named after her.

Since they had made an appointment with their family to have dinner together, Andy and Ivana just took a break in the room, changed their clothes, and left the suite side by side with their fingers clasped.

At a famous restaurant called The Monocle, the Smiths are sipping food and laughing in a rectangular box.

"The food here is really good!" Andy is very satisfied with the food in this restaurant, both the ingredients and the taste can be said to be very superb.

"Hehe, this restaurant is your grandfather's favorite, and since it opened in 1960, it has hosted almost every president, senator and congressman since Kennedy, and they have come to this restaurant. Andy's grandmother wiped her lips elegantly with a white napkin.

Andy pursed his lips, nodded noncommittally, and continued to taste the food he was serving, while Li Wanqing was chatting with Ivana, after all, Li Wanqing, as the designer of Ivana's jewelry brand, really had a lot of topics to talk about.

"Did you just come to Washington to see us this time?" As an upstart elephant, after a period of familiarity and running-in, Auston is now the number one person in Washington, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as high-spirited, after all, he is a political rising star promoted by the Elephant Party.

Andy pursed his lips, a little unhappy with his father's chin raised, looking very arrogant, and set his eyes on the old Smith who had been smiling.

"I didn't tell them, but it's better for you to tell you the good news yourself. Old Smith smiled and raised an eyebrow, and as he spoke, he put a tender piece of veal into his mouth with a fork.
