Chapter 198: The situation of all parties
This night was not as calm as it seemed. Whether it was Seattle's current mayor Houston, Mayor's Secretary Warren Hughes, Luo Minghui, who was ambitious but lacked strong support, or Tenglong City, which had a 12-hour jet lag across the ocean, was brewing a storm.
Houston is over 60 years old, and his long-term political career has filled the eyes of this silver-haired old man with a light of alertness and wisdom. He sat at the table in his study, wrote a big question mark on the white paper in front of him, and raised his head to Warren Hughes, who was sitting opposite him, and asked in confusion: "God testifies that who is this mysterious man? He actually bought the Century Hotel so much. Didn't you get the news in advance? I know very well that Robinson is a man. If there is no huge temptation, he would not give the fat he got to others easily."
Warren Houston is also in his forties and an elite talent who belongs to the Republican Party as Houston. The party has also discussed that Warren Houston will be the one who succeeded Houston. They had already done their best to launch Warren Houston during the election, and they have contacted Seattle's Republican businessmen who are close to Republicans to seek funds for the election. On the surface, it can guarantee that Warren Houston can get more than 35% of the votes, while Luo Minghui initially estimated that he could only get 20%. However, Qin Mu's big moves obviously surpassed Houston and others' estimates. No one can tell what changes will a consortium with huge energy enters the Houston business circle at this moment.
Moreover, Warren Hughes has his own social circle and has heard that several Asian faces appeared at the home of Congressman Luo Minghui in the morning. He contacted the lawyer and was also an Oriental who acquired the Century Hotel, which made Warren Hughes feel a little worried. He held a wine glass and walked back and forth in the study in Houston several times. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and laughed, and said excitedly to Houston: "Houston, why should we stand here to discuss? He needs friends to come here to do business, and we never sigh that we have enough friends. Perhaps, we should have a meal with this mysterious rich man and exchange friendship. Maybe he is also anxiously waiting for our attitude."
Houston suddenly stood up, slapped his skinny palm on the table, and laughed. But after a moment, his smile calmed down again and said thoughtfully: "I'm afraid there will be some movements on the Democratic side, right?"
Warren Hughes nodded, drank the wine in his glass, then put the wine glass on the wine cabinet, grabbed his coat and walked out, and said, "I'm going to the Century Hotel now. Even if I don't sleep tonight, I will still have the opportunity to have dinner with the mysterious Oriental tomorrow."
Houston was furious at Warren Houston's departure: "Warren, you want to invite him in the name of the mayor!"
At the same time, Luo Minghui and Wang Haitao were also facing each other in the study. Instead of being as mourning as a dog, Wang Haitao was leisurely smoking American cigarettes with a meaningful smile on his face. He and Luo Minghui already knew Qin Mu's every move in Seattle, and even among the lawyers who helped Qin Mu, there were also loyal fans of Luo Minghui, who had already feedback Qin Mu's big money to Luo Minghui.
Luo Minghui and Wang Haitao have a completely different understanding of Qin Mu's approach. In Luo Minghui's eyes, Qin Mu did this just to show his strength to him. Without any means, it does not take too much time. In just less than an hour, he used money to make the boss of the Third Hotel in Seattle beg for surrender. While selling the Century Hotel, he could serve Qin Mu, which shows that Qin Mu had already made a considerable bet. However, Qin Mu did not show much caution, but was as relaxed as buying a toy, as if this tall building worth tens of millions of dollars was just his attitude, an attitude that showed Luo Minghui's determination and energy. Or save Wang Hai
Tao became Qin Mu's enemy, or handed over Wang Haitao to obtain Qin Mu's friendship and financial support. Such a simple multiple-choice question was in Luo Minghui's eyes. There were unmistakable interests and traps behind each choice, and he had to be cautious. For Wang Haitao, if it were just the temptation of the funds he carried, Luo Minghui would have handed Wang Haitao to the embassy, but Wang Haitao had some information about the Japanese consortium in his hands, which was undoubtedly a great help in Luo Minghui's political career. Now, what he needs is still to wait quietly. Qin Mu vaguely promised Luo Minghui that he could get the support of the Chinese consortium, but whether this support is unlimited or has countless frame conditions, he still needs to observe again.
Wang Haitao thought about something else. The shock that Qin Mu's big money brought to Wang Haitao was huge. The 5.8 million he carried on the Heavy Industry side was just a drizzle for Qin Mu, which forced Wang Haitao to think deeply about a question. What was Qin Mu's purpose for coming to the United States? The little money he greedy for was not enough for Qin Mu. If Qin Mu only wanted to recover this money, he would not have been able to spend tens of millions of dollars at will. Thinking of this, Wang Haitao's heart was filled with huge waves. Qin Mu, a young man
From the beginning, he gave him an unfathomable feeling. Now it seems that Qin Mu wants to do a big move, and he must have a very subtle position in this plan, otherwise Qin Mu would not have played such a move. Wang Haitao quickly sorted out the people he was involved in and his contacts in his mind, and a layer of fine cold sweat oozed out of his forehead. His former position was really too sensitive. If it was as he had imagined, Qin Mu's plan would probably be to turn Tenglong City into a Zhenlong chess game and put everyone in it.
Wang Haitao felt his heart beating rapidly, as if he was about to jump out of his chest. He looked up at Luo Minghui who was thinking deeply, stood up and went to the wine cabinet to get a cup of Chivas, and walked towards the window. Slowly opened a gap to the floor-to-ceiling window, and a cold wind blew Wang Haitao's face like an old farmer. His heartbeat slowly calmed down. He took a deep breath of the cold air flow pouring in. Luo Minghui's voice was a bit hoarse, and he slowly said: "What are Qin Mu's plans? If he does this, the Republican Party must have also received news. Do he want to take both sides?"
Luo Minghui loved Chinese culture since he was a child and his speech was full of charm. His words made Wang Haitao's heartbeat, which had already calmed down, suddenly he thought of a sentence: the bigger the thought, the farther he looked. The inference that had just been produced was completely overturned by him, and he raised his eyes to a higher height, and then to another height. Wang Haitao's heart jumped up and down. When he tried to look at Qin Mu's actions of buying Century Hotel in Seattle from the perspective of a provincial official, he touched the edge of Qin Mu's plan.
Qin Mu wants to run a network of relations in the United States!
As soon as this thought arose, Wang Haitao and Su Ran was shocked and slowly stroked the line. The name of an old man in the capital flashed into his mind.
"Mr. Luo, I understand, I finally understand!" Wang Haitao shouted out almost madly. He jumped for his crazy idea and turned around and shouted at Luo Minghui: "We must seize Qin Mu. We must, he will have an unimaginable role in your political career." Wang Haitao didn't say anything. As long as he had a harmonious contact with Qin Mu, his affairs would probably be very simple and small. As long as he returned the stolen money, he would be alive or dead. I'm afraid no one would care. Even his cooperation is likely to get Qin Mu's different eyes. Since Qin Mu and Mr. Qin have an unknown relationship, why didn't he send a political achievement of "recovering outflow funds" to Qin Mu?
Thinking of this, Wang Haitao rubbed his hands nervously and excitedly.
The leaders of the two parties in Seattle, USA began to try to contact Qin Mu, but the upper-level officials in Northern Liao Province were undercurrents. At 8:30 in the morning, the US Embassy had already submitted a note to Northern Liao Province to discuss the issue of forming a friendly city between Los Angeles and Tenglong City, and proposed that Los Angeles Mayor McLeod and Lanning County Party Committee Deputy Secretary Qin Mu hit it off at first sight, wanting to request the provincial party committee to approve Deputy Secretary Qin could represent the Chinese side in Los Angeles for a few more days. Mayor McLeod will conduct further consultations on urban cooperation between the two sides.
Not to mention that Qin Mu is a deputy, it is not an exaggeration to send a deputy governor in cooperation between cities, even China will send a deputy governor. This makes several big men of the provincial party committee scratch their heads. If this matter agrees to the US request, Qin Mu's position will inevitably move, and Qin Mu will soon become a municipal official at the age of 24. It is a big joke to say it out loud. The Chinese officialdom emphasizes Xu Xun's gradual progress, but this matter is absolutely impossible to be low-key, so Qin Mu will inevitably become the target of attacks by various forces, which is something that Qin officials do not want to see, and it is also something that other factions cannot tolerate. For this reason, the provincial boss who knows Qin Mu's identity called Mr. Qin and asked about the old man's meaning.
After hearing the report, Mr. Qin cursed angrily: "What are you doing with this little bastard Qin Mu, why are you doing such a big mess? He is now the deputy secretary of the county party committee. Why do you want to be the secretary of the municipal party committee?"
After hearing Mr. Qin's anger, the boss knew what to do. Since Mr. Qin had the attitude of letting Qin Mu continue to hone his skills, he was much more relaxed and happy in his work. Therefore, an hour after receiving the request from the US Embassy, the provincial party committee quickly convened a standing committee to form a new group of inspection teams as quickly as possible. A vice governor in charge of foreign investment led the Tenglong Municipal Party Committee Secretary Jin Cangjiang and relevant personnel to go abroad immediately to hold a new round of meetings with Los Angeles. At the same time, Northern Liao Province gave a definite reply to the mayor of Los Angeles. Considering the private friendship between Secretary Qin Mu and McLeod, the organization gave Comrade Qin Mu a little vacation and wished the two of them to live in the world. This example of close cooperation between China and the United States will inevitably become a good story in the international political arena.
