Chapter 737 (1/2)
A girl in the White House in a rest room with all kinds of ideas to chat up the staff, until more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the next door of the reception room finally opened.
He quickly got up to meet him.
Simon and Clinton haggled over various topics for more than two hours and managed to reach a series of oral agreements.
This kind of thing, it is impossible to leave any paper documents.
Neither side would be stupid enough to do so.
Simon could not spit out the expanded political resources in Washington, and finally agreed on the one tenth upper limit proposed at the beginning. However, Simon also promised that he would not easily interfere in matters unrelated to the westero system. In the field of new technology, Simon also made a corresponding concession according to the previous assumption. Cisco AOL igritte will reach a settlement with the Ministry of justice in the next two months, so igritte can promote the IPO plan without legal burden.
Simon is a person who advocates giving and needs to be rewarded.
In exchange, the White House and Congress agreed to release a series of bills on technology, media, finance and other fields previously promoted by the westero system in the coming year.
Politics is actually exchange and game.
Although there is no lack of intrigue in this circle, under the condition that both sides have the means of checks and balances, the effectiveness of this kind of oral agreement is no less than that of the formal signing of the contract. Therefore, neither Simon nor Washington is worried that the other side will turn back. Of course, both sides also know that all kinds of small actions are inevitable.
Moreover, the time limit of this agreement is doomed not to be permanent. Maybe in three or five years, maybe in ten or eight years, all parties will inevitably forget today's agreement.
At that time, it's just another game.
Finally, it was Bob Dole's turn to say goodbye to Clinton and others one by one. Simon took the old politician's hand and suddenly came to each other's ear and whispered, ”Bob, I suddenly think of something.”
Bob Dole still had a warm smile and said, ”Oh?”
Simon said: ”we all know that I like beautiful girls, men are possessive, I want you to help me pass the message to some people, don't hit the girls around me, otherwise, I can only rob their girls. For example, Texas girls are very hot, and Florida and Florida girls are the most famous swing, don't you think? ”
Bob Dole's face didn't seem to be any different, and he promised softly, ”of course, I'll help you get the message.”
This is the main hall of the White House. The rest of the staff are interested and stand away. Simon and Dole's brief whispers are barely heard by Clinton, but they don't see each other.
The heart is certainly not without waves.
The Bush family, unwilling to lose the general election in 1992, has been making constant moves in recent years. Behind a series of scandals of the president, almost all of them have the influence of the Republican Party in the south, which was also disclosed by the New York Times.
Simon and Doyle's whispers are not aimless.
In addition to making trouble for Clinton and weakening the influence of the Democratic Party, the Bush family has also begun to lay out plans for the future. In the mid-term election just in the past, George Bush II and Jeb Bush, the two sons of the elder bush, participated in the governor election in Texas and Florida respectively. Relying on the deep-rooted influence of the Bush family in Texas, the younger Bush succeeded When he was elected governor of Texas, Jeb Bush lost in Florida.
People with a clear eye can see that the Bush family intends to let the younger Bush copy Clinton's political line from governor to the White House.
As for Florida.
As the most famous swing state in the United States for a long time, Florida, with as many as 25 electoral votes, can often decide the ownership of the U.S. presidential election.
Therefore, Jeb Bush's participation in running for governor of Florida is actually paving the way for his brother's future presidential election.
Although this time ended in failure, in Simon's memory, Jeb Bush ran again four years later and succeeded.
Then, the Bush family member could not wait to use his power as governor to promote a series of policies and bills favorable to the Bush family's sprint to the White House. The most famous controversial policy is to reduce the base of the Democratic Party's bottom voting position, and specially formulate a bill to deprive some people with criminal record of their right to vote.
It is similar to the ”deprivation of political rights for life” clause often heard on the other side of the ocean.
Tens of thousands of people lost their right to vote.
In history, it was in Florida that George W. Bush won the 2000 U.S. presidential election with a controversial advantage of a few hundred votes.
Too many signs of the CIA espionage incident on East 92nd street in Manhattan point to the Bush family.
That's why Simon asked Dole to forward the warning.
Although they didn't make it clear, the people who heard these words almost immediately realized what had happened.
Of course, no one is stupid enough to explore anything on this occasion.Simon didn't keep his voice down. He was also warning the White House and Democrats.
Don't try to touch his red line.
With that, Simon finally shook hands with Newt Gingrich, and the White House photographer was ready to take pictures of six people for tomorrow's press release.
Simon really wants a secret meeting, but it's obviously unrealistic.
The White House has always been a leaky sieve, far less mysterious than the outside world imagined. It's better to take the initiative to release information than to let people speculate, which is convenient to control public opinion.
The arrangement of the station, although the surface of a harmonious, but still can not help but secretly.
Because this kind of photo is sent out, perhaps most ordinary people just pass by at a glance, but it does not prevent some people from analyzing the implication.
In the end, Simon and Clinton side by side, Bob Dole on the left and Newt Gingrich on the outside. On the right side of the president are Hillary Clinton and Vice President Gore.
No one is in the middle of the six.
Simon just noticed a detail. Hillary intended to withdraw from the group photo, but she probably found that Simon was in the middle instead of her husband, so she came back quietly.
The flash lights up quickly.
Simon is the most powerful person of the two parties on the left and on the right.
After the group photo, this trip to the White House is the end.
When Simon drove away from the White House, he found that a large number of reporters had gathered outside the White House and pressed the shutter.
It's really a sieve.
Washington is only 300 kilometers away from New York. The private Boeing 767 takes off and lands easily. At 5:30, Simon has returned to his apartment on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue.
The Vermeer show starts at seven in the evening.
Simon doesn't plan to go to the scene, but will attend the after party at 9 o'clock at the Gramsci hotel near the arsenal.
After a busy day, she just took a comfortable hot bath. When she came out of the bathroom, girl a came to the bedroom and sent Zoe and Isabel, who were holding clothes and shoes to serve Simon, to take care of the man himself. She said, ”Ms. Davis just called.”
Simon put on his trousers, took the pullover from the girl and asked, ”what's the matter?”
”When Ms. Davis took her routine cleaning of the East 92nd Street apartment in the afternoon, she found Laura Graff at the door, still hanging around, saying she wanted to see you.”
Simon frowned slightly.
The last time Victoria Graff stabbed her mother, Simon completely lost interest in the mother and daughter.
Biting pets, it's hard to say whether they will bite their owners.
