The last program to celebrate the inauguration of the President was the pop star Michael Jackson who performed on stage.
Before the ball even started, the high society dignitaries and invited guests gathered from all over, making the White House bustling and full of stars.
Wang Yaocheng came out of the commander-in-chief's office with his wife Si Wanru, and it could be seen that he was in a good mood.
Here they were personally received by Commander-in-Chief George and his wife Laura, and took a group photo. Wang Yaocheng even pretended to sit in that position for a while, while George stood beside him cooperatively and handed him a signature pen.
This precious moment was well captured by the royal photographer and preserved forever after the flash.
In just ten minutes, there was no formal conversation. Wang Yaocheng had already invited Commander George and his wife Laura to visit the Mediterranean Manor at a convenient time. Commander George happily agreed.
This intimate interaction highlights the extraordinary relationship between the two.
Because there were so many guests present today, Commander George still needed to receive other people, so he had to say goodbye after a brief meeting.
After Wang Yaocheng and his wife Si Wanru left, they slowly visited the White House along the corridor. This world political center left too many legends behind.
Many rooms are furnished with exquisite antiques, most of which were collected by James Monroe during the period. The Blue Room, in particular, is full of French royal style.
The interior is mainly blue and decorated with gold-edged walls, which sets off the luxurious decoration style of the Blue Room.
Therefore, this room was often used to entertain distinguished guests, including the first Qing envoy who visited in 1878, and has witnessed countless historical moments.
Decades ago, President Cleveland's wedding was held in the Blue Room. The White House Christmas tree is also fixed and shining here every year, making it the most lively place at Christmas.
Under the blue room is the reception room for diplomatic envoys, which is specially used for ambassadors from various countries to submit their credentials.
Every plant and tree here has a legendary experience that can be told.
After carefully admiring it all the way, the two of them quickly reached the balcony at the end.
This corridor is not long, there are not many rooms, and the decoration and taste are just average.
It is far less luxurious, elegant, and uniquely crafted than the French-style main palace of a Mediterranean manor, and the building scale is even smaller.
But it’s undeniable that this place is the political center of the world, and many celebrities and big figures in history have left their deep mark here.
Standing on the balcony of the Blue Room, the surroundings look ordinary and a bit shabby.
This is the place where all the great commanders of the United States often waved to the people. It has been left in the annals of history through various video methods and has witnessed countless historical moments.
The balcony overlooks the South Lawn in front. Many trees on the South Lawn were also planted by the Grand Commander or his wife. Each tree has a distinguished origin or significant commemorative significance.
This might be a way to go down in history.
A magnolia planted by Jackson in memory of his late wife has grown into a century-old tree with lush branches and leaves, growing together with the history of this country.
here
Wang Yaocheng saw a few people he didn't like, including senior senator Michael Bay, Turner and two unfamiliar old white men, standing on the balcony chatting.
Maybe, the topic is myself.
These people turned around and obviously saw Wang Yaocheng and the two of them. Turner looked at the two people walking hand in hand with interest and said provocatively;
"Look who's here. He just met the king's favorite. He seems to be looking good. He got a lot of promises from the team manager and is ready to show it off to us."
"Turner, you are still as disgusting as ever, stay true to yourself." Wang Yaocheng immediately retorted.
"Let me guess who this beautiful woman next to you is? She is..."
"Okay Turner, please keep your gentlemanly manner." One of the old white men interrupted Turner. He didn't want to cause any conflict on this occasion, nor did he want to test Wang Yaocheng's bottom line, so he took the initiative to reach out and say;
"Let's get to know each other, I'm Senator Van Fleet of the Elephant Party, and this is my friend, Kenneth Wray, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Enron Corporation. You are both well-known figures in the financial world. I guess I haven't met you yet.
"
"Nice to meet you. This is my wife, Ms. Si Wanru."
"Madam, you look absolutely stunning tonight."
"Thanks!"
Wang Yaocheng suppressed the fear in his heart, shook hands with several people, and introduced Si Wanru, and the two sides talked politely.
Even though they are both members of the Elephant Party, there is no need for Senator Van Fleet to be consistent with George in everything. They even have different opinions on many policies, and their positions are completely different.
Because of the different interests of regions and constituencies, whether it is the Elephant Party or the Donkey Party, there are many hills within it, and there are not a few who are flirting with their opponents, and it is not uncommon for them to change parties.
Georgia Senator Van Fleet is the chairman of the Senate Disarmament and Nuclear Weapons Control Group. He represents an interest group that has no connection with or direct competition with the Wang Consortium.
Wang Yaocheng was more concerned about the little old white man in front of him, Kenneth Rey, with a big forehead, gray hair, and deep and unreadable eyes.
It was this guy. Under his leadership, Enron was named "The World's Most Innovative Company" by Fortune magazine for six consecutive years. This was essentially a huge scam.
It won't be long before the Enron financial fraud scandal breaks out, and the world's energy giant worth hundreds of billions of dollars collapses.
At the same time, Enron dragged Arthur Andersen, one of the world's four largest accounting firms, to its demise, and its reputation became notorious on the street.
In this shocking scam, in addition to small and medium-sized investors who lost all their money, many world-famous banks also suffered heavy losses.
These include JP Morgan, Citibank, Deutsche Bank, Bank of China, China Merchants Bank, Fuso Mitsubishi Bank, Daiichi Banking Corporation, etc., with losses ranging from over a billion to hundreds of millions of dollars.
"Boss King, we were just talking about you." Senator Michael Bay said; "It is undeniable that you have done a great job, but at the same time, you have also taken away many American white-collar jobs and opportunities for some talented entrepreneurs. With the
We are deeply concerned about your growing influence, which is not a good sign."
"I'm always looking forward to the emergence of better talents."
Wang Yaocheng spread his hands helplessly and said with a sarcastic smile; "But it does not mean that I will enter history. After all, I am very young. Throughout the 21st century, or in the decades after your death, I will still be
The richest man on the planet, I really don’t want to show off because that’s what it is.”
It was really a critical hit of 10,000 points, which made him absolutely furious.
But as Wang Yaocheng said, whether you like it or not, this is the fact.
"Young man, the United States is a free country, but it also has to abide by some rules. You are not even an American citizen, but you have made huge amounts of wealth and won too many opportunities in this country, which has hindered the advancement of local talents.
It has caused harm to free competition. What Senator Michael Bay is concerned about is also our concern. As a business leader with a strong sense of social responsibility, I am also anxious about this."
Kenneth Rey has a sad look on his face, but every word he speaks is heartbreaking, making people want to punch him hard on his hypocritical façade.
Wang Yaocheng took a deep look at the little white guy. Adrenaline secreted more energy than usual, causing a fire called fighting to burn in his chest.
Unexpectedly, it was this fraudster who jumped out first.
"Can I defend myself against these baseless accusations?"
"certainly."
Senator Van Fleet made a "please" gesture but did not express his position for the time being. He did not want to jump out first and offend a very influential figure.
Even though he doesn't like this young rich man from Asia, Senator Van Fleet still remains polite and courteous on the surface despite his qualities as a politician.
Wang Yaocheng's face straightened up, and his eyes seemed to be flashing with anger;
“I am willing to respond head-on to Senator Michael Bay’s concerns;
The United States is a free, fair and just business society, and the spirit of contract is deeply rooted in the bones. As long as you have the ability, anything is possible.
This is everyone’s American dream.
Because what I did was so good, so great, so good, that Senator Michael Bay was deeply concerned.
Well let me tell you;
In the next few decades, I will do a better job. To hell with your doubts, I don't care.
in fact
Regardless of whether it is from a corporate or personal perspective, in 2000, I was the largest taxpayer in the United States. It was I who supported you to talk and criticize me, not others.
As for the treacherous Mr. Kenneth Wray, the Enron company under your leadership is a real worm in the United States. Not only has it not brought any help to society, but it has almost driven the government of California, the richest state in the United States, into bankruptcy.
I know that Enron is one of the world's largest electric, natural gas and communications companies. The company controls the power supply in wealthy California and Texas.
What is ridiculous is that Enron took advantage of its market monopoly to drive up electricity prices and gas prices. The electricity prices were dozens of times higher than normal levels. The California state government was given a huge bill, and it could not even afford to turn on traffic lights.
.
At traffic intersections, many vehicles hit people and knocked them over, causing many people to die or have to spend the rest of their lives in hospital beds.
Low-income people who cannot afford to pay their heating bills are even freezing to death in their apartments. Can you imagine that this is the richest state in the United States?
This is truly a disaster, completely unbelievable.
Where did Enron's performance come from?
I'm afraid you know better than I do that an accounting expert, Harry Markopoulos, has clearly pointed out that Enron's performance in 2000 was a despicable and shocking scam that deceived all investors.
I don't want to comment on this, but I'm equally concerned.
I suggest Senator Van Fleet use his influence to investigate Enron to see if there are any shocking inside stories.
As for me, the non-U.S. investor you are criticizing, my companies employ more than 160,000 employees across the United States and contribute to more than 46 charitable funds across the United States.
Committed to improving the living conditions of blacks and ethnic minorities, providing warm houses and drinking water to the homeless, helping families of police officers find employment, and providing kindness to all those in need.
I am still the largest taxpayer in the United States. I hope you can maintain the minimum respect and don't bother me with some bullshit reasons, okay?
Now, I have finished speaking;
Who is in favor and who is against?”
After saying something extremely domineering, the opponent's face was hit so loudly that it was almost swollen. Even Senator Michael Bay, the always tough opponent, and Turner, the boss of Warner Group, could not deny the facts.
Kenneth Rey felt extremely guilty, his eyes flickered to avoid him, and he couldn't even utter a single word of rebuttal.
Kenneth Rey doesn't know how much information the other party has?
He doesn't dare to gamble, let alone gamble.
Several people could only watch blankly as Wang Yaocheng took Si Wanru's fair arm, gracefully bowed slightly and saluted, and Shi Shiran left like a victorious general.
Wait a moment
Senator Van Fleet looked at Kenneth Rey meaningfully, then looked at the others, and couldn't help but smile;
