Chapter 1489 - Return to North America (2/2)
…
Although contrast to Mike Pence’s term, Sugar Cube Diplomacy seemed to become a highlight of Trump’s administration, most of Congress seemed to dislike the snarky President and preferred the Speaker of the House to succeed.
But in the end, it was Trump who returned to presidency.
There was no other reason.
Celestial Trade Force stationed in Capital exerted pressure on Congress and forced Congress to make a “wise choice.”
Just like this, this crime of the century had come to an end for the time being.
Just as Mike Pence was arrested and imprisoned, and on the third day after Trump returned to office, which was the same day the Xin Reserve meeting on interest rates ended, a silver aerospace G100 appeared in the night sky of North America, and slowly landed on the runway of JFK Airport.
Aerospace G100 had won the race against time difference.
Before Jiang Chen boarded, it was still two o’clock in the afternoon in Coro City. When he arrived in Capital, it was late at night.
Surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Jiang Chen got off the plane and left the airport through the private tunnel. Because this trip was completely confidential, the media did not receive information in advance, and naturally, there were no such annoying reporters.
Other than the staff from the Xin embassy waiting at the entrance, there was also another man with a special identity. It was Jiang Chen’s old friend – Loki from B City. In addition, Joseph Kennedy, who Jiang Chen met once before, stood next to Loki.
“Welcome, my old friend.” Loki gave a big hug to Jiang Chen, shook hands, then gestured toward the exit, and walked beside Jiang Chen. In a relaxed tone, he said, “I’ll be honest, it’s not a good idea to come to North America right now. I don’t know how many people regard you as a thorn in the eye.”
“What about you? My old friend,” Jiang Chen said in a half-joking tone.
“Me? Honestly, you have caused me a heavy loss, but I am very grateful to you for sparing my factories and real estate in B City.” Loki laughed as if he didn’t care about the war that happened some time ago. “Fortunately, this war that was a mistake from the start is over.”
For most of the North American upper classes, especially large consortia like the B City Consortium, did not feel regret or sorrow about the country. Instead, it was the depreciating dollar because of the war that pained them. It was no exaggeration to say that the direct economic loss of the B City Consortium exceeded 7 billion dollars on the day Celestial Trade landed on Manhattan Island.
And the loss was after the fact that B City Consortium had re-allocated their dollar-denominated assets after Kennedy lost the election.
“I’m glad you can think this way. In fact, you can completely forget that loss. We will soon let you gain more in the form of a win-win situation… count it as compensation to our allies.” After a pause, Jiang Chen smiled, “In addition, I have a few things to deal with on this trip, and I may need your help.”
When Loki heard the compensation, his mind was overjoyed, but he did not let any emotion surface, and instead just responded politely.
“It’s my pleasure.”
The situation described as compensation by Celestial Trade would certainly not disappoint him…
