Although Xiao Yunhai had not guessed Elvis Besi's true intentions, he knew that one should not slap a smiling face. Since Elvis Besi had taken the initiative to reconcile, Xiao Yunhai could not put on airs.
Xiao Yunhai reached out and shook Elvis Bethy's hand. He said, "Then I'll thank you in advance. Coincidentally, I have a small matter that I need your help with. I wonder if it's possible? "
When Wu Qingbo heard this, he almost spat out the red wine he had just drunk. He thought to himself, "Hitting the snake with the stick, this kid is really too shameless."
Elvis Bethy's expression also froze. He said, "Mr. Xiao, what is it? Tell me."
Xiao Yunhai directly told him about his intention to set up a security company in America. He said, "If Mr. Bethy can help me with this matter, Yunhai will be deeply grateful."
Elvis Bethy was so angry at Xiao Yunhai that he almost vomited blood. He said, "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. This matter needs the approval of the government and Congress. I really don't have this authority. Mr. Wu, Mr. Xiao, my family still has matters to attend to. I'll take my leave first. "
After that, Elvis Bethy turned and left.
Xiao Yunhai looked at his back and said disdainfully, "Trying your best to help? Pfft. "
Wu Qingbo said unhappily, "You're really something, kid. You're really thick-skinned. How could it be easy to have private armed forces in the United States? If it were someone else, they would have already cursed out. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Chief, you know this old Mister Bei Xi?"
Wu Qingbo nodded and said, "When I was the deputy secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, I went to New York to attract investment. At that time, he invested two billion US dollars in Shanghai, which was a great help to me. You know, two billion US dollars 25 years ago was not a small amount. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I see. No wonder you wanted to be his middleman. "
Wu Qingbo said with a faint smile, "Middleman? Yunhai, you don't really think he'll forgive you with a smile, do you? "
Xiao Yunhai had already figured out his intentions. He smiled and said, "Do I look like a fool to you?"
Wu Qingbo said, "Then tell me, why did he do this?"
Xiao Yunhai said casually, "He just wants to create a false impression that I'm on good terms with the Bethy family."
Now that Lyle was the president, the Bethy's influence on the Bethy family was very bad.
Xiao Yunhai was the "hero" of Lyle's successful election. Elvis Bessie had invited Wu Qingbo to make peace and take the initiative to "express goodwill," but it was just a show for the people outside. It was mainly to show that he didn't have much of a conflict with President Lyle. Even Xiao Yunhai, the number one contributor, could reconcile, let alone President Lyle.
Wu Qingbo smiled and said, "You're not muddle-headed, kid. Did you see that? Many people noticed your handshake with Elvis Bessie just now. Especially the heir of the Anderson family, he kept looking at you. That's not a good sign. "
This time, Wu Qingbo called back Xiao Yunhai, who was about to leave, out of respect for his old friend, Elvis Bessie.
Thus, he had to mention it to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for Xiao Yunhai because of this matter.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Thank you for your concern, sir. I know what to do."
A look of approval flashed across Wu Qingbo's eyes as he said, "To be able to make Elvis Bexi value you so highly, you're really something. I just heard you say that you're going to set up a security company in America. It should be difficult. America is known as the most open country in the world, able to accommodate all races in the world, but that's not the case. Whether it was in the political or military circles, almost all of the powerful people were born and raised in the United States. It'll be difficult for you to control a security force like Blackwater. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled. "Where there's a will, there's a way. If it weren't for the Anderson family asking for 300 billion USD, I'd have started to do it already. "
As the leader of Huaxia, it was extremely rare for Wu Qingbo to be able to confide in Xiao Yunhai about this. Xiao Yunhai naturally didn't want to hide things from him.
"300 billion USD? Wow, that's really ruthless. "Wu Qingbo thought for a while and said," I'll show you the way. Besides the two families, there's one other person who can do it. "
Xiao Yunhai's eyes lit up. He quickly asked, "Who?"
Wu Qingbo looked behind Xiao Yunhai and smiled. "He'll be here soon."
Xiao Yunhai turned around and saw that the man was about 60 years old. He had a head of white hair, deep eyes, and a hale and hearty spirit. It was the Chief Justice of the American Supreme Court, Stanley Simon.
Compared to his previous life, the Chief Justice of the American Supreme Court had more power. Not only did he preside over the Senate, but he also had the right to impeach the American President.
Stanley Simon had been in this position for ten years. His prestige among the American people was much higher than that of the President.
If he wanted to run for President, Lyle and Adams wouldn't be involved at all.
"Mr. Wu, long time no see."
Stanley Simon came forward and hugged Wu Qingbo. Clearly, the two of them were old acquaintances.
Wu Qingbo smiled. "Mr. Simon, it seems that I need to ask you about health. Compared to five years ago, I find that you're even younger. "
Stanley Simon laughed. "Mr. Wu, you're really good at joking. In terms of health, which country in the world can compare with Hua Xia, which has a 5,000-year civilization? "
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Xiao Yunhai, sized him up from head to toe, and praised: "In terms of age, Mister Xiao is even younger than my son. But in terms of achievements, my good-for-nothing son is far, far behind. To be able to give birth to such a genius like Mr. Xiao, Hua Xia is really a place blessed by outstanding people. "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Simon. You see, my face is turning red."
Stanley Simon and Wu Qingbo immediately laughed out loud when they heard that.
The three of them chatted for a while, and Wu Qingbo said, "Mr. Simon, Mr. Xiao is the most outstanding young man in Hua Xia. His every move is watched by the Hua Xia government. Last month, two consecutive terrorist attacks in Washington made us very worried about his safety. The No. 1 and No. 2 Chiefs believe that the American government should bear unshirkable responsibility for those two attacks. I wonder how your government will ensure the safety of our citizens in the future? "
Using the terrorist attacks as a trigger, and then logically bringing up the establishment of a security company, Xiao Yunhai had to admit that compared to these political figures, he was indeed far behind.
