Chapter 2458 The Mysterious Skull and Bones

"Mr. Whitney, why are you here?" At night, when Chen Kangjie saw John Whitney in George Bush's private conference room, he was really surprised.

When he met John Whitney at Palm Tree Beach before, Chen Kangjie knew that he must be a member of a certain big family, but he did not expect that he would have such a close relationship with George Bush.

Chen Kangjie was astonished, and John Whitney was equally astonished. He did not expect that the big deal that Mr. Ponty arranged to discuss would be with Chen Kangjie.

When he was in Florida, John Whitney was still skeptical that Chen Kangjie was willing to pay a billion dollars for his collection of art, thinking that a star should not be so rich, who knows that Chen Kangjie will be richer than he imagined much money.

The business that can get John Whitney, Edward Harriman Jr., and George Bush together must be astronomical.Before coming, Mr. Ponty did not make it clear that the person they were going to face would be Chen Kangjie. Within them, the confidence was not completely shared. Chen Kangjie appeared on their internal materials, just a code name, and did not clearly refer to whom.

"You surprised me. I never thought that we would meet again after a while." John Whitney said.

"John, do you know Long? I mean, have you met?" Little Edward Harriman asked suspiciously.

"John and Long met at Palm Tree Beach not long ago. Long is the boss of Whitney's precious daughter." George Bush introduced from the side.

"Mr. Whitney, I am also surprised by your appearance." Chen Kangjie said, and then introduced his assistants Ouyang Zhenhua and Bob.

After getting to know each other, the six of them formally entered the topic without wasting any time.Brown Bush did not participate in this negotiation.

"John, it's up to you to introduce us to Long and the two gentlemen first. I have informed Mr. Ponty and he agrees." George Bush, who was sitting among the three, turned to John on his right. Whitney stretched out his hand to signal.

"Introduce us? I remember that our organization has never disclosed it to the outside world. The first requirement for membership is confidentiality." John Whitney looked at Chen Kangjie, then at George Bush, and said doubtfully .

"Yes, but it's different this time. Long deserves our disclosure. Mr. Ponty has already discussed it with several seniors." George Bush nodded firmly.

"Although I don't understand why I have to make an exception, but...Since Mr. Ponty nodded, I would rather be respectful than obedient. Long, two gentlemen, this is the first time in nearly 200 years that you have been accepted by someone else. Identity to intervene in our group..." John Whitney's tone and demeanor were very solemn.

Chen Kangjie, Ouyang Zhenhua and Bob's hearts were also raised at this time. They finally knew what kind of mysterious organization this would be, and everyone was somewhat excited.

"This logo is the badge of our organization..." First, John Whitney took out a delicate badge from his clothes and placed it on the table.

Chen Kangjie didn't reach out his hand, but he lowered his head to see the badge as clearly as possible.

The coat of arms features a skull with two crossed bones below it and three Arabic numerals 322 below.

"This is the badge of your organization? How could it be so terrifying?" Chen Kangjie asked with a frown.

"Because we are called Skull and Bones. Our organization was established in [-]. The base is located at Yale University. Every year we only recruit fifteen members from the best students of Yale University. Once these people join, they will be conservative for life. The secrets of the organization, all those who leak the secrets of the organization will be severely punished. In the small Greek temple building at Yale University, there is a jar containing blood, and a knife is stuck in the blood. A person who was punished for betraying the secrets of the organization..."

While John Whitney was talking, Chen Kangjie and the others listened carefully. Although John Whitney was just talking like that, Chen Kangjie and the others felt that the more they listened, the more creepy they became.

Although it was very simple and didn't say it clearly, Chen Kangjie and the others could imagine that that person must have been slaughtered, and his blood was preserved as a warning to others.This shows the strictness and terror of this organization.

"Then what does 322 mean? Does it mean that you only maintain 322 members?" Chen Kangjie asked.

"Oh, no, it is said that when the ancient Greek orator Demosthenes died in 322 BC, the goddess of oratory ascended to heaven. Therefore, we call ourselves the "Goddess of eloquence club" and believe that the goddess of eloquence died in 1832 Returned to the world, with us." John Whitney explained.

"Then you are a religious organization?" Chen Kangjie asked again.

"No, although we all have religious beliefs, the purpose of our organization is not to promote or propagate teachings, that is not our mission."

"Then what is your purpose? Who is Mr. Ponty you are talking about?" Chen Kangjie continued to ask.

John Whitney didn't answer right away, but turned his head to look at George Bush and little Edward.

"At the beginning, our purpose was to rule the world by uniting a group of elites. However, as the times progressed, we knew that it was impossible to rule the world." George Bush replaced John Whitney replied.

"So you are willing to tell me some secrets, but they still hope to control the United States, the most powerful country in the world, right?" Chen Kangjie completed what seemed to be George Bush's unfinished words.

"Probably." George Bush replied ambiguously, "As long as someone joins our organization, we will help him succeed, whether it is in business, politics or academia."

"Then who is that Mr. Ponty, and how many members do you have now, may I know?"

"Mr. Ponty is one of our existing veterans. You may have mentioned him. He was our first cia director. It is precisely because of this that the cia has been almost in our hands for a long time. Its high-level Among them, a considerable proportion are our members. We currently have more than 700 living members, but the membership list is our top secret, so it is impossible for you to know it. Among the three of us, only I know the list. said George Bush.

"Because you are the president? Only when you know the list can you arrange their positions?" Chen Kangjie asked.

"Long, you don't have to say it if you know it." George Bush stared at Chen Kangjie and said.

"Sorry, please forgive my curiosity, but since we are partners, of course we can know more details." He said he was embarrassed, but Chen Kangjie couldn't see any embarrassment.

Next, John Whitney added some information about the Skull and Bones Society, and the amount of information was much more in-depth than before.

"Aren't you wondering why George Bush was elected more than two years ago? That was actually the result of our pressure on Kerr. We once had someone bring a message to Kerr. If he doesn't quit, then even if he becomes president , will also be a winner or loser result."

"You have mastered his black material, right? Because you have mastered cia, you have the advantage of information sources that others don't have. Ok, it's my guess, and now I finally understand why you know about me." Chen Kangjie saw that the complexions of the three people had all darkened, so he turned a corner hastily.

It is already very sincere that people are willing to make such revelations. If Chen Kangjie wants to break the casserole and ask the end, it is a bit like throwing salt on his wounds.

After all, it is a bad and disgraceful thing to use black materials to punish people.

They didn't say that Chen Kangjie really didn't know the strength of this organization. Not only did several presidents, secretaries of state, ministers of defense, top justices, and the director of the CIA turn out to be members of their organization.Although they didn't mention everyone's name, this alone was enough for Chen Kangjie to admire and click his tongue.

What's more, John Whitney and Edward Harriman, who were sitting across from each other, were giants in the business world. They didn't know how many powerful people existed behind them.

Although Chen Kangjie was bleeding heavily this time, it was quite worth it to be able to get back this information.At least Chen Kangjie understands that a country like the United States, which claims to be free and democratic, is actually in the hands of such a secret organization.

"The last question, why are you willing to share such a secret and hidden inside story with us? Although I will pay a huge price for it, but since your strength is so strong, you should not be short of money. I really can't figure it out." Chen Kangjie asked the last question he said he was concerned about.

This problem seemed easy to solve, but it seemed impossible to be as simple as it appeared on the surface. It was not that Chen Kangjie was not confident, but that he suspected that it was purely because of money.

"George, only you can answer this question." John Whitney pushed the question to George Bush.

It should be Mr. Ponty who made the decision. However, Ponty did not tell John Whitney the reason.

Although everyone is a member of the same organization, because George Bush has already become the president, his importance and the information he obtains are richer and faster than those of John Whitney and Little Edward.

It can be said that in Skull and Bones, the same membership has different status. There are people who make decisions, people who participate, and people who are relatively peripheral. The core content is not clear to everyone.

"Long, I knew you would ask that." George Bush said.

"Okay, then I'll be all ears." Looking at George Bush, Chen Kangjie nodded.
