When Loki said this, Jiang Chen finally understood why he chose to meet him here.
Indeed, if it was here, it was absolutely safe.
Limited by the distance factor, the communication channel between the Moon and Earth was completely controlled by Celestial Trade, and there was absolutely no need to worry about the CIB's spies here. Although Jiang Chen felt that he was being overly cautious, Loki still insisted that it was only a necessary precaution.
After the banquet, Xia Shiyu returned to the hotel where she stayed, and Jiang Chen went to the lounge next to the banquet hall with Loki.
Loki sat down on the chair, took out a cigar box, and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to take out a lighter, he suddenly stopped and looked at Jiang Chen with a grin. "Do you mind?"
Jiang Chen shook his head, indicating that he didn't mind.
"Thank you." With a grin, Loki took out a cigar knife and skillfully cut off the end of the cigar. After he lit it with a lighter, he blew out a smoke ring with enjoyment and raised an eyebrow at Jiang Chen. "Want one?"
"No, you can smoke it yourself." Jiang Chen shook his head, leaned back in the chair, and looked at the old man smoking. "Let's get to the point —"
"Kerry is going to participate in the 20-year election," Loki also leaned back in the chair and said emotionlessly.
Jiang Chen took three seconds to digest the amount of information in this sentence, and then raised an eyebrow.
"So?"
"It seems that your intelligence work on the Capital isn't good." Loki grinned, shrugged, and his eyes through the smoke flashed a bit of mystery. "Do you know who is supporting Kerry?"
"Who else but Wall Street?" Jiang Chen said with a smile, "This question is as boring as asking why Zhang Yaping can be re-elected."
"No, no, no." Loki gently shook the cigar between his fingers. "There are many companies on Wall Street. You can't see Wall Street as a whole. My question is, who exactly is Kerry's financial backer? "
Can't see Wall Street as a whole?
Jiang Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he carefully pondered the meaning behind this sentence.
Looking at Jiang Chen who fell into silence, Loki didn't seem to be in a hurry. He smoked the cigar while waiting for his answer with a smile.
The silence lasted for a full five minutes, then Jiang Chen broke the silence and said softly.
"Obviously, you can tell me."
"That's right, I can tell you." Loki sat up from the chair and gently tapped on the table. When Jiang Chen looked over, he slowly wrote a capital "M" on the table.
Jiang Chen frowned as he watched his hands move.
"… Morgan?"
To be honest, Jiang Chen was not surprised that Wall Street manipulated the UA election. This was not the first or second time. Political contributions and K Street in Washington, DC, were two things that existed for this purpose. Although Jiang Chen was a little surprised by Kerry's sudden decision to run and Morgan's investment in Kerry, it was far from shocking.
What really surprised him was that Luo Qi told him all these things.
"That's right. I can also tell you that Kerry has roped in the CIA. " Loki leaned back in his chair, crossed his fingers on his knees, and said with a smile, "The FBA is investigating Congress members, and the CIB is watching the FBA. Isn't it interesting? I bet the 1920 election will be the most exciting in American history. "
"The most interesting thing is that you actually told this to people who are not friendly to the UA." Jiang Chen smiled meaningfully and looked at him with interest. "Can you tell me why you're doing this?"
"Haha, you and I are both businessmen. Do you think nationality is important to us? If you really care about that identity, you wouldn't have run off to start your own business. "
As he spoke, Luo Qi took out a photo from his pocket and threw it on the table.
Jiang Chen looked at the photo and was just about to ask who this was, but Loki took the initiative to speak.
"Joseph Kennedy."
Looking at the photo, Jiang Chen frowned.
"Other than the surname Kennedy, I haven't even heard of the name Joseph."
"What does it matter? Many successful candidates were unknown to the voters before they participated in the election. " Loki shrugged, blew out a smoke ring, and said with a smile, "Elections are like horse races. Find a candidate with potential, and as long as we are willing to bet on them, there will always be a chance in the end. For example, the black horse in 2008, who knew him before 2007? "
"Oh? Then why do you think I will participate in your bet? "Jiang Chen said with a smile." To put it bluntly, this is your own business. "
"Because I will give you enough benefits," Loki looked into Jiang Chen's eyes and said emotionlessly. Loki looked into Jiang Chen's eyes and said emotionlessly, "If Kennedy is elected, we can consider giving Nippon to you and even join your Earth Defense Alliance."
"I have to say, this proposal is indeed very attractive, but I really don't agree with your credibility." Looking at Loki, Jiang Chen said with a sly smile, "To be honest, I don't trust you. How can you make me believe that you will fulfill your promise? Presidents who can fulfill 50% of their campaign promises can be counted on one hand. You don't even dare to guarantee your own people, let alone an outsider like me. "
When Loki heard Jiang Chen's words, he smiled and put the photo back into his pocket.
"Let's not talk about Mr. Kennedy. I don't know if you have thought about the consequences of Kerry being elected?"
"Do you think the current Celestial Trade is still the Celestial Trade from two years ago?" Jiang Chen spread his hands and said with a smile, "Don't mention Kerry, even if Roosevelt crawled out of his grave, do you think I would care?"
More than two years ago, in order to open up the Middle East desalination market, Gao Xin Freshwater had to choose to go public on NASDAQ to lower the UA's vigilance. At that time, Celestial Trade might really be no different from an ant in front of the UA. Any aircraft carrier battle group from the free world could return the people of Pannu to the embrace of democracy.
However, now, not to mention the latest Ford-class aircraft carrier battle group, even if the entire UA aircraft carrier battle group was sent to the Western Pacific, at most, both sides would suffer heavy losses. Even if Kerry was elected, what could he do?
"Well, I believe you are strong enough to ignore the entire military power of NATO," Loki shrugged and spread out the hand holding the cigar. Loki shrugged and spread out the hand holding the cigar. "But now there is a better option in front of us. Why don't you consider it? Mr. Kennedy will pay more attention to the aerospace industry than all previous presidents, and advocate to abandon the prejudices between countries, abandon the new Cold War mentality, and work together to fight against extraterrestrial civilization … And what I said is in his election speech, not empty promises. "
Loki supported himself on the armrest of the chair, slowly stood up, threw the burnt cigar into the ashtray, and looked at his watch.
"I will stay here for two days. I hope you can think about it seriously. If we work together, we may be able to avoid a war that should not have happened. "
After that, Loki walked to the door.
"There is still a question I don't understand." When Loki walked to the door, Jiang Chen looked at his back and suddenly said, "Aren't you all WASP?"
Loki let go of the door handle, turned around to look at Jiang Chen, and asked in a mocking tone.
"When Mr. Rothschild was still alive, weren't we also allies in the same trench?"
