Chapter 1,152 Cheers to the Prosperity of Wall Street

In the first round, Jiang Chen gave the opportunity to take the lead to Te Langpu.

Looking at his plate of sugar cubes, Trump thought for a moment, and finally chose a relatively conservative issue and threw it on the negotiation table.

"The agreement to withdraw US troops stationed in Japan has been cancelled, and Starlink Trading has withdrawn its troops from Japan."

"Very good," Jiang Chen nodded and said with a smile, "The treaty guaranteeing independence between NATO and Northern Colombia will be terminated and troops will be withdrawn from Colombia. If you feel that these two proposals are equivalent, then we can enter the betting process."

Picking up two sugar cubes from the porcelain plate, Te Langpu held them in his hands and weighed them for a long time. Finally, he made up his mind, slapped the two sugar cubes on the table, and answered Jiang Chen with his actions.

"It's your turn."

Jiang Chen smiled and without hesitation at all, he took out three sugar cubes from the porcelain plate and placed them on the table.

Te Langpu's pupils shrank slightly as he stared at the three sugar cubes.

After a long silence, he suddenly spoke.

"Can I add more chips?"

"Of course," Jiang Chen said with a smile, "I said, this game is to help us reach a consensus, not to create differences. Both parties can add chips to the minimum without limit based on the amount of the other party's bet. There is only one thing that must be noted, that is, the chips that have been added cannot be taken back.”

After hesitating for about five minutes, Trump finally took out two chips from the porcelain plate, placed them next to his original two chips, and then looked at Jiang Chen.

"It's your turn."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and took the four sugar cubes from Trangpu's face.

"make a deal."

Seeing the four chips in Jiang Chen's chip plate, Trump opened his mouth.

He suddenly regretted it.

"The tripartite agreement on the U.S. military stationed in Japan has been cancelled, and Star Ring Trade will withdraw from Japan within half a year. Make a note of this," Jiang Chen looked at the assistant who had been standing beside him and gave a simple instruction, and then looked at Trump. , smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy that our negotiations have made the first step of progress."

"Stop talking nonsense, it's your turn." Trump said inexplicably irritated.

Jiang Chen smiled lightly, took out a sugar cube from the porcelain plate, placed it on the table, and repeated the proposal that was not passed in the previous round.

"Repeat the proposal to withdraw NATO troops from Northern Colombia and give up asylum to the Northern Colombian regime..."

…

Just as the United States was carrying out a state visit to New Zealand, far away on Wall Street on the other side of the Pacific, in the Morgan Group building, two old men in neat suits were sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at the curved surfaces hanging on the wall. Big screen.

"...President Trump's visit to New Zealand has reached the most critical stage. Just half an hour ago, Trump went from the State Banquet Hall to the Future Man Building to discuss space issues, regional issues with the chairman of Starlink Trading Exchange opinions on the situation. Regarding this meeting, the outside world is generally pessimistic. Next, let us ask the commentator on the international situation, Zevnaia from the Peterson Institute for International Economics, to interpret it for us..."

The first stop of the diplomatic visit is set to be New Zealand, which is Trump's first campaign promise to be fulfilled after taking office. All walks of life in the United States are paying close attention to whether Trump can reach consensus on international issues with Starring Trade and resolve the mess left by the previous administration, as he promised during the campaign.

The old man in a gray suit suddenly smiled, crossed his legs on his knees, picked up a bottle of red wine from the table, poured two goblets on the table, and said casually. .

"My dear Mr. Rockefeller, what do you think of this diplomatic visit?"

"Want to hear the truth?" Rockefeller said.

"certainly."

"I hope he screws up this meeting, but I don't want him to screw up too much," Rockefeller said with a laugh.

"It seems we have thought of something together again."

The two looked at each other and laughed in unison.

Although the arms giants in North America are huge in size, the gap between them and the future military industry is still not small in terms of technical strength.

Whether it's Lockheed Martin or Boeing's Integrated Defense Systems Group, whether it's air defense missiles or fighter jets.

If the United States wants to catch up with the Future Man Group, it needs not only investment, but also time.

Others may not be able to see this clearly, but as the two giants in the military-industrial complex, it is impossible for Morgan and Rockefeller to not see this clearly.

For them, the best situation is another cold war.

The two sides are in serious economic and military opposition, but there is a safe distance between them. Just like when the United States and the Soviet Union were fighting for hegemony, orders flew to arms factories like snowflakes, and all arms dealers made a lot of money. At that time, relying on orders from the Pentagon, it may not be a bad idea to finally close the gap with the future military industry.

"What if they succeed in negotiating?" Rockefeller said with a smile while watching the news on the TV screen. "Although the probability is very small, we cannot rule out this possibility."

"I have prepared a second plan." Morgan smiled lightly.

"Oh?" Rockefeller smiled and glanced at Morgan.

"Mike Pence, have you ever heard of this guy?"

"Of course," Rockefeller laughed, "that's our Vice President."

As one of the earliest advocates of the "Tea Party", Mike Pence is very similar to Trump in one point, that is, both parties are the mainstay of conservatives, the Republican Party of the Republican Party. , the bald eagle of the right.

Pence, a former governor of Indiana and chairman of the House Republican Caucus, is known for implementing economic policies that favor the rich and big business. His political views of supporting tax cuts and welfare cuts as a way to solve the economic downturn and employment problems coincide with Trump's. Only on the two issues of immigration policy and trade protectionism do the two sides have certain differences.

If we had to find a clear difference between the two presidents and vice presidents, it might be that compared to the "big talker" Trump, the former governor is more like a qualified politician, cautious in his words, tactful in his dealings, and efficient in doing things. "More disciplined."

Unfortunately, however, the person who is more like the president becomes the mascot, and the person who is more like the mascot ends up becoming the president.

When he heard his ally suddenly mention the name Mike Pence, Rockefeller was slightly startled at first, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face.

"you mean……"

"I hope our president is a 'smart man', otherwise I can only say that life is always full of too many surprises." Morgan smiled and picked up a bottle of champagne from the table, holding it up in the distance, "No matter what, Let’s drink to Wall Street’s prosperity.”

Only under one condition can the Vice President become President.

And this kind of thing has never happened in history.

A smile appeared on Rockefeller's lips and he picked up the wine glass from the table.

"cheers!"

The sloshing wine is as red as blood...
