Reinventing the Millennium.

Fang Zhuo had a great first night in Washington.

The big man Geithner has not forgotten his old friendship, and his attitude is the same as before, even more magnanimous.

On the contrary, Kong Yu raised a small concern after the small banquet. Was the increase in profit sharing too smooth?

This night, the change from [-]% to [-]% will be a bit hot?

"Gethner dares to give it, but you dare not take it?" Fang Zhuo threw a cigar in the drawer to the Gasoline Man.

Holding a cigar, Kong Yu thought about it and said, "Gethner doesn't have very frequent contact with us. There is no problem on our side, but on his side..."

He worried about the mistakes of people in Geithner's line, but also worried about Geithner's own style.

Fang Zhuo understood what the gasoline man meant, walked to the window, looked in the direction of the White House not far away, and said calmly: "Even if there is a problem with his people, Geithner can settle it."

Geithner, Summers, and Rubin have a very close relationship, and they are extremely powerful around the White House.

"As for Geithner's contact with us, and me." Fang Zhuo smiled, "It's really not too frequent. The friendship between gentlemen is as rare as water."

Kong Yu didn't laugh.

Fang Zhuo felt that the Gasoline Man might have been taken aback by the doubling of profits tonight, so he said a few more words seriously: "Gethner is our customer and will continue to be our customer. Why?"

Kong Yu replied without hesitation: "Because we can give him money."

"In the past two years in the United States, who can make him more money than us?" Fang Zhuo asked.

Kong Yu was taken aback, but after careful consideration, it was really hard to refuse.

Fang Zhuo talked about the data reported earlier by Gasoline People: “In the past two years, of the more than 3000 hedge funds and thousands of investment institutions in the United States, only less than 20 used CDS to bet against the collapse of the real estate market. There are very few of the top 20 who have really re-invested."

"Under the financial crisis, a very small number of people made profits, some kept their capital, some lost a big hole, and I don't know how many went bankrupt."

"Mr. Kong, you need to be more confident in your rare ability to make money."

The profitability of MIGA funds is one of the few in the entire US financial market.

It may not be the number one institution. After all, several institutions such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan are still taking the opportunity to manipulate crude oil, but they are also very advanced.

The rarity of this earning power is hard to find in the world.

"Goldman Sachs is also making money, but Geithner won't put his money there, and he won't find money there this time. Goldman Sachs is so intricate, how can we be innocent." Fang Zhuo laughed, "Others that can make money Institutions are similar, and by the same token, some of our special clients may have this idea.”

He continued: "What's more, for Geithners, is it easier to handle a Chinese person like me or those American institutions?"

Fang Zhuo shrugged and looked at the Gasoline Man: "My weakness is also my strength. Yike's industry in the United States is very important. Geithner is not afraid that I will go crazy. As for whether Geithner will go crazy, I think he should be quite normal. Yes, something really went wrong, throw out the nested vest layer by layer, and just have an explanation."

Kong Yu was basically convinced, and he made a joke: "President Fang, something really went wrong, you must hire the best lawyer for me."

Fang Zhuo smiled slightly: "Mr. Kong, you deserve the most expensive bail."

Kong Yu felt that he was worth it.

Fang Zhuo was about to continue talking about this topic, when there was a call from Xiao Ao's staff member Lu Peining on his phone.

This is now the cabinet secretary.

The call time is not long, Lu Peining will have a treat for lunch at noon tomorrow.

Fang Zhuo put down his phone and said, "Lu Peining will probably set up a table tomorrow. It seems that I'm quite welcome in Washington."

Lu Peining is not as powerful as Geithner, but has a closer relationship with Xiao Ao, who handles the family's fund handling procedures through his hands.

Kong Yu said something that Mr. Fang said: "There is me in you, and you in me. Lu Peining is very positive to us."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly, there is me in you, you in me, private in public, public in private, you fear me, I fear you, it's good.

At noon the next day, Kong Yu did not accompany him again. This time, in order to participate in the asset disposal, the MIGA Fund also recruited a group of bankrupt elites such as Washington Mutual Bank. They just went bankrupt with toxic assets and happened to have rich experience. He handles the placement himself.

MIGA Fund always considers clients and is professional in doing what it needs to do.

The lobbyist Zhao Zhishan followed Mr. Fang, and she also played her due role.

Compared with the more business guests brought by Geithner at the small banquet last night, Lu Peining's noon banquet was more in the inner circle of the leadership.

All kinds of things, smiling.

Lu Peining introduced, Fang Zhuo exchanged greetings, and Zhao Zhishan took the time to provide information.

"Robert Gibbs, Xiao Ao's press secretary."

"Ramer Emmanuel, his chief of staff."

"David Iselod, his policy advisor."

"Valerie Jarrett, also a policy advisor."

"Boss, these are people from Chicago who are more core than Lu Peining. The offices of Emmanuel and Axelod are right next to Xiao Ao's Oval Office, which is very rare."

"The relationship between Emmanuel and Jarrett is tense, but Jarrett is a close friend of the first lady Michelle, and she recommended Michelle to be an adviser to the Chicago government."

Zhao Zhishan's voice was low and dense.

Fang Zhuo took a few more glances at the four people she highlighted, each in a circle in the banquet hall.

He said: "It's not easy to remember, give me a list of things to pay attention to in the evening."

Zhao Zhishan nodded silently. In fact, he gave it yesterday. The boss may have been too busy to take care of it.

"They are actually more core than Lu Peining. I have always felt that the relationship between Lu Peining and Xiao Ao has already made me incredible." Fang Zhuo said.

Zhao Zhishan thought for a few seconds, and then briefly gave his opinion: "Four permanent attendants."

Fang Zhuo instantly understood the position of his team towards them.

"There are a lot of Chicago gangs here today." Zhao Zhishan had already gone through today's guests. "Xiao Ao and some Harvard alumni have also arrived at a good position. More people who are highly praised by the outside world are local people in Washington."

Chicago, Harvard, Washington DC.

Zhao Zhishan made the relationship very clear.

She also said: "Among the powerful leaders in Washington, Susan Rice is highly valued. We noticed that her philosophy met expectations, and she wanted to replace confrontation with dialogue, but she didn't come today."

"Susan's father was a director of the Federal Reserve, so he should be able to have an intersection through Geithner. Also, Susan has liked basketball since middle school."

Fang Zhuo nodded appreciatively, Xiao Zhao's work is solid.

Seeing that the boss was satisfied, Zhao Zhishan took advantage of the situation and said: "Yesterday I submitted a list of 18 people, which belong to the more core and close names. Boss, today I will submit another list of people who may be more suitable for us to contact."

Fang Zhuo didn't speak, and Lu Peining had already walked over again.

Zhao Zhishan stood in the shadow of the boss knowingly.

"President Fang, everyone wants to know you very much." Lu Peining said with a smile.

"What do I need to know?" Fang Zhuo smiled.

"Both Emmanuel and Gibbs are very interested in Fang's general fund." Lu Peining spoke directly.

Fang Zhuo shook his head: "The current economic situation is still very hazy, and our fund is also observing the situation. If you are really interested in financial management, I will show you the way. You can try to buy our Yike or Apple stocks."

Lu Peining was a little surprised that Mr. Fang actually rejected the new client.

"The fund recently had a business with a good profit prospect. Now it is not suitable for new funds to come in. We must protect the rights and interests of previous customers." Fang Zhuo further explained.

As a previous client, Lu Peining didn't mention it. Anyway, he has already introduced him today.

He asked a question that Geithner also asked yesterday: "I heard that Ike and Nokia have some conflicts. Do you need someone to mediate?"

"Not for the time being." Fang Zhuo shook his head again and refused, and said, "Gethner and I talked about this yesterday, but Yike can still hold on. Our profit forecast for this year is very good."

When Lu Peining heard Geithner's name, he didn't continue talking.

He was rejected for two consecutive proposals, and said the third proposal with a smile: "Mr. Fang, when the Rockets won the championship, you didn't follow the team to the White House, did you? Do you want to visit the White House today?"

The NBA championship team has the custom of being interviewed by the leader, but Fang Zhuo has never participated in it.

Fang Zhuo was a little moved when he heard this, and he came here, and it was quite interesting to stroll around.

"Is it appropriate?" he asked.

"No one is more suitable than you." Lu Peining laughed.

Fang is always BOSS's basketball friend, and he is also a good money maker, and his fund was very open and happy when it raised funds last year.

It's not appropriate to take the sponsor to see the results.

Lu Peining, as the secretary-general of the cabinet, this is just a trivial matter.

Fang Zhuo also laughed, neither agreed nor refused, it depends on the mood.

The noon banquet was just like yesterday, the faces of important figures flashed in front of my eyes, all kinds of positions and relationships.

Fang Zhuo had a good chat with these people, and he could really feel that Lu Peining's position as a core staff member was indeed not simple.

Later, when he went back to the hotel to rest, he saw the two lists submitted by the lobbyists.

The first 18 people, the second is to cross the original list, leaving only 8 people.

"What is this standard?" Fang Zhuo asked Zhao Zhishan.

"Ideas, like Susan's dialogue ideas are very popular." Zhao Zhishan replied, "Word of mouth, like Axelod's reputation for doing things with money is very good, um, there is also age, too old is not recommended to contact, Don’t know what instability is going to happen.”

Fang Zhuo nodded, and called Kong Yu to come in, and jointly consult the list of future client strategies.

This is the first time that moneymakers and lobbyists have worked closely together, and their results are worth looking forward to.

……

Washington's knowledge is not very new, neither Geithner nor Lu Peining shy away from their relationship with Mr. Fang.

Instead, Fang Zhuo soon saw more rich people appearing in the social circle.

Generally speaking, at this stage, everyone will contribute.

Fang Zhuo made money for his clients, and he also made money by the way. He didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him, and he was able to deal with personal connections with ease based on the information provided by the lobbyist.

The identity of the world's richest people is like a golden label, and everyone who sees them is polite.

On February 2th, just as Fang Zhuo was about to end his journey of networking, he was accidentally captured by media reporters after tasting food in a French restaurant. Even though there were bodyguards around and refused to accept the interview, the young reporter was still brave Going forward, I want to interview the head of Yike Company, which has been making waves recently.

Fang Zhuo didn't want to talk to the reporter at first, but he couldn't bear to hear her loudly mentioning that this was her first interview.

He felt that he really met a newcomer who didn't know much about it: "Are you really a reporter? It's too simple. Are you sure your little camera can support the interview?"

Eve found hope, and repeatedly confirmed that there was no problem. She is an intern reporter, and she saw the special report of her own newspaper yesterday. She did not expect to meet the party who kept silent on public opinion today.

"Get in the car, the back row is quite spacious." Fang Zhuo said in a Rolls that he was riding in today.

Eve nervously followed into the car.

Fang Zhuo sat upright: "Ask."

Eve looked at Mr. Fang with a serious face, and suddenly her mind went blank: "..."

Fang Zhuo couldn't help laughing: "I now believe this is your first interview, it doesn't matter, since that's the case, you can ask whatever you want."

Eve relaxed, took a breath, and asked: "Mr. Fang, Nokia President Kallasvender Kampekai was interviewed by the media again recently, and once again expressed his confidence in the patent lawsuit with Yike. What do you think of Yike's patent lawsuit? Are you worried about the worst outcome of patent litigation? If the ITC decides infringement, Yike may face a sales ban.”

Fang Zhuo didn't think this question was beyond imagination.

He thought for a while and commented: "This question is not very innovative."

Eve worked up the courage to argue: "But it's an important question, isn't it?"

"No, no, little reporter, let me tell you what's important." Fang Zhuo talked eloquently, "Aside from patents, I'm curious why Kallasvuo showed up so often, and why Nokia still tolerates Kallasvuo. Continue to lead the company."

"Kamperike made Nokia's sales drop by ten points last year!"

"Kamperike turned the Symbian system into a lonely family, and even Samsung left the Symbian camp and switched to Android!"

"Kampek still misses Yike all the time. Does he know what open source is?"

"I heard that last year the media selected the ten worst presidents in the world, but Kallasvuo ranked 11th. Did he give money to the media?"

"Let me tell you, Yike is not the key to Nokia's success or failure at all. Kallasvuo is nothing more than a contradiction that urgently needs to divert Nokia's internal attention. He did not try to reform the company when the Nokia market was in a severe decline, and he did not quickly launch competing products. Just making patents that don't matter."

"Nokia's Board of Directors Can Participate in This Year's Worst Board of Directors."

"Nokia, led by Kallasvuo this year, will lose its top position in smartphones. I don't think the mobile phones he will produce this month are competitive with Yike, Apple, and Samsung."

Fang Zhuo's Qi pulse is smooth, and he expresses it all at once.

Eve was dumbfounded.

Fang Zhuo looked at the little reporter, and finally said: "If Kallasvuo is kicked out by Nokia, I won't be surprised at all, but since he does have a lot of industry experience, I won't mind him coming to Yike for an interview."

In the first independent interview, Eve asked at a loss: "Really?"

Fang Zhuo glanced at Eve and said contemptuously, "Fake, Yi Ke doesn't need losers."
