Chapter 780 Money Is in Front of You but You Can't Eat It

Knoll and Horton confirmed that Li Changheng did not get carried away thinking that he had invested in Citigroup, and even forced Rockefeller to cooperate.

I feel that I will be as comfortable in the game of thrones as I am in business.

At the same time, since the donor is still as cautious as before and has no ambitions, there will be more common interests in continuing to cooperate.

After thinking for a while, the two quickly reached a tacit understanding with eye contact.

After receiving a call from Li Changheng in the early morning, Noel and Horton had actually been discussing together for several hours.

The incumbent commander-in-chief is already showing signs of instability due to scandals.

In this case, although the two of them did not set their sights on the positions of the chief and deputy commanders, they were also thinking about how to take the opportunity to enter the core of power.

According to the laws of the United States, the commander-in-chief resigns, and the deputy commander takes over until the end of the four-year term, and a new commander-in-chief is elected.

Therefore, Noel, who felt that the opportunity had come, discussed with Horton for several hours, and the two reached an agreement when the deputy commander took over the position of grand commander.

Horton will secretly help Knoll lobby the elephant volunteers on certain proposals proposed by the new leader, greatly increasing the probability of passing the proposal.

Let Noel gain the favor of the new commander, see his ability, and then have the opportunity to fight for the deputy commander or the party whip.

And if Noel's goal is achieved, Horton can also secretly repay Horton when he has the opportunity in the future.

As for the fact that the two belong to the elephant and the donkey, as long as the interests are sufficient, cooperation is actually normal.

When the time comes, the two people who have reached the qualifications will have the possibility to compete for the highest power.

To win the election, not only a lot of money is needed, but the power, ability, and even character of the donor are critical.

A benefactor like Li Changheng, who is super capable, prudent and has little political ambition, and will not cause trouble to Noel and Horton after they really enter the center of power, is definitely the best collaborator for any politician.

After listening to Li Changheng pretending to make a donation, he hinted that he and others initiated the initiative in the two houses to increase the intensity of aid.

Noel and Horton agreed in their hearts after thinking for a few seconds.

Let alone the United States itself, it is impossible to give up Yisel, a pawn in this desert area.

It was Egypt that provoked this war and attacked it first by means of a sneak attack, so the Americans had sufficient moral reasons and excuses to assist Israel.

Even for the sake of its own interests, the red polar bear will, like the United States, never want to see desert areas dominated by desert tyrants.

Therefore, in addition to offending the local tyrants in the desert by proposing to increase aid to Israel at this time, Noel and Horton will not only be grateful to the Jews.

It is also in the interests of the United States and has won the support of many Americans.

Noel and Horton glanced at each other, and quickly smiled and said to Li Changheng, "It seems that we have to go back to Washington as soon as possible."

Li Changheng smiled, "In order to repay high-end customers and find new buyers, Boyin is holding a special event to provide private jets for invited VIPs.

In order to let new and old customers experience the luxury and comfort of 707, 737, and even 747. "

After speaking, Li Changheng waved to the blade five or six meters away, and soon two invitation letters appeared in front of Noel and Horton.

"This event will last for half a year, but I believe that with the improvement of customer satisfaction, Boyin will hold the same special invitation event every year in the future."

Noel and Holden immediately understood that this was a disguised benefit for the two of them. In the future, as long as there is a chance to use a private jet, Boyin will provide a specially modified private jet for their own use.

Moreover, the use of aircraft is not the point, the key is that in the future, he can get the support of the giant Boyin.

One of the two is basically in New York, and the other is in New Jersey. Apart from competing for the position of commander, there is basically no conflict on the bottom line of re-election as a member of the Senate.

As for the conflict between elephants and donkeys, in the upper and lower houses of the United States, there are many examples of being lobbied by opponents because of interests.

After sending Noel and Holden away, Li Changheng rushed to Citigroup headquarters immediately.

As soon as I entered the office, I saw Boyin's president Payne, and Taylor and other Citi management and shareholders who were born in Boyin were waiting for me.

Li Changheng stood up and nodded to everyone who greeted him, and asked directly, "Is it possible for us to develop the armed helicopter project launched by the Army in June?"

"this,,,."

Payne and the others frowned and thought for a while, then sighed helplessly, "Five companies participated in the armed helicopter project, and they have been certified together for almost 7 years.

It was even canceled once last year because the design requirements were too high.

After lowering the design requirements at the beginning of this year, the Yuenan War could no longer be fought.

Several major airlines are worried that the independent research and development time will be too long, and the army, whose military expenditure will definitely be compressed in the future, may change its mind again midway.

Therefore, we feel that it is better to continue to invest in large aircraft such as 747 for long-term research and development and capital consumption. "

"Damn it," Li Changheng sighed depressingly, but he knew in his heart that continuing to upgrade the 747 was indeed a reasonable, even wise, decision.

Otherwise, it will not be possible to crush rival McDonnell Douglas in the future with the 747 of multiple models, long-range and medium-range.

It seems that except for McDonnell Douglas, which was acquired by Boyin in the 1990s, it obtained F15 and F18 fighters.

Boyin is indeed rarely involved in the research and development of fighter jets and armed helicopters.

And the demand for fighter jets in the next Yi Shi Lie must be far greater than the demand for bombers.

That is to say, a big contract that can be seen and touched has no chance with Boyin.

Taylor, who was basically Li Changheng's dog, asked cautiously, "Henry, did you have any news for calling us here?"

Li Changheng gave Taylor and the others a blank look, "Even if there is a big contract, you don't have the ability to take it, so what else can you talk about?"

Everyone is a human being, and Yi Selie comes to mind when he thinks about it for a while.

Then he looked at Li Changheng with bright eyes, and Taylor, as the representative, eagerly wanted to ask if there was any special news that had not been released yet.

But before the words came out of his throat, he immediately looked sideways at the others.

Some things can be understood, but cannot be said, otherwise it is to pass the handle on to others.

In the spirit of not asking what shouldn't be asked, Taylor thought for a moment before carefully saying, "How about we talk to Grumman about the F14 contract?"

The F14 is a fighter specially developed for air combat, although it was developed as early as 1966.

In 1969, a contract was signed with the US Navy, and the first prototype was launched in 1970.

The fighter jets completed in such a short period of time are inevitably constrained by the times and the first third-generation aircraft in terms of many technologies and air combat thinking.

It is obviously weaker than F15 and F16 in multi-purpose such as ground and sea.

Compared with the later F18 Hornet, in addition to its advantages in air combat, the price/performance ratio is simply horrible.
