"That's right. Vice President Gore has rich political experience. Our Democratic Party is optimistic about him, but there may be uncertainties. After all, there are more than ten months left before the presidential election day, right?

But it would be great if Gore could get your support. People like you and they will support the people you support.

Just give me a cup of coffee. It was so exhausting to take a bus. Fortunately, the scenery in the bay is beautiful, the location of the company headquarters is great, and the view is very wide."

Mr. Old Byron said with a smile, sitting on the sofa beside the window, crossing his legs.

The two chatted briefly, and the topic was mainly focused on the recent collapse of the Internet industry. The government was powerless in the face of such a situation, but according to Old Byron, it seemed that it would temporarily reduce corporate taxes and mergers and acquisitions taxes, which made Han Xuan a little interested.

Don’t worry about corporate taxes or something. Internet companies have poor profits every year. Including various huge expenses, they not only do not have to pay taxes when filing taxes every year, but can get a considerable amount of consumption tax refunds from the government. Overall, the US tax system is indeed quite good.

Han Xuan cared about the tax exemption policy for the Internet industry. After every major economic crisis, the government will always provide some policy support in order to promote economic recovery. The economic crisis occurred in the 1980s. Because policy support led to a vigorous wave of mergers, he secretly wrote down this matter. If those preferential policies were introduced, a lot of money would be saved next.

Miss Olivia brought the brewed coffee and helped the two of them without saying a word, without disturbing them. The topic was round and round, but never mentioned Time Warner Group. Han Xuan was not in a hurry, and Old Byron couldn't hold it anymore.

He picked up the cup and took a sip of coffee, and asked casually: "What's wrong with you and Time Warner Group?"

I heard that the stock price of Time Warner Group has plummeted today, and they blame you for it. There were negative reports about you last night. I met with their chairman of the board several times. If it is not a big problem, I can help you resolve the conflict."

Understand that this is a quibble, Han Xuan smiled and said, "I have no big problems with Time Warner Group. I think the company's prospects are good, so I convinced several shareholders to sell the stock to me.

You should know that the industries of Time Warner Group can be combined with some of my existing industries. The company currently has so much liquidity that there is no place to invest, so I like Time Warner Group.

Within their company, many people prefer to let me manage Time Warner Group. After all, the benefits of my company have always been pretty good. Chairman Case seems to be very dissatisfied with this, but it doesn't matter yet, so I'm about to get the controlling stake.

He may retire at that time. If you have a good relationship with him and think my approach has hurt him, then I can only express my apology. This is the decision of the supervisors of my company.

Because of the negative reports of Time Warner Group, I have lost billions of dollars, and have invested tens of billions of dollars in Time Warner Group, and have started the acquisition plan. And they have lost a lot of money to me, and it is impossible to stop.

Business is business, I think Mr. Byron, you should understand this principle..."

These words are enough to show Han Xuan's determination to acquire Time Warner Group. Old Byron Whip decisively gave up the intention of persuading him to stop the acquisition. Of course, it is impossible for him to come to be a lobbyist without knowing anything.

He knew everything that happened to Han Xuan and Time Warner Group these days, and also understood that Han Xuan had indeed lost billions of dollars, not hundreds of thousands of dollars, or millions of dollars, but billions of dollars!

This level of business is not something that Old Byron can interfere. When he hears it, he can only speak billions or tens of billions of dollars. Mr. Byron seems unmoved, but in fact he can no longer calm down. Billions or tens of billions...

The more I really sat in front of Han Xuan, the more I could feel the terrifying energy of this Chinese boy. At the same time, I also clearly realized that the chances of Chairman Keith's victory against such a person are very small, so I would consider the countermeasures all the way back in my stomach, and have been dealing with businessmen for decades. The party whip Byron summed up two experiences: one is that the super rich cannot be shaken, and the other is that I will never interfere in the business between the rich.

Especially to help businessmen at a disadvantage, there is a great risk in this, which is big enough to allow a party whip to retire early, and there are a large number of politicians, and the charm of money is eternal...

"I understand what you mean. You don't have to worry too much. I have only met him a few times. The relationship is not very good. Since you have lost so much, it is also appropriate to try to recover the loss."

Han Xuan has lost a lot of money recently, which is so much that Old Byron feels terrible, so he wisely distanced himself from the chairman of the board of directors of Time Warner Group.

What made him even more terrible is that even though Han Xuan lost so much money, his value was still extremely terrible. He agreed with the saying "There is so much money that there is no place to invest". It has hundreds of billions of dollars in cash, and it is really troublesome to find a suitable investment field.

After he thought briefly, he simply opened up the topic and said to Han Xuan: "You should know that several media under Time Warner Group are very important to our Democratic Party, especially when the presidential election is about to be held.

Many people in our party are worried about this. If we can handle this issue well, I believe that many shareholders within Time Warner Group will be willing to support your acquisition.

Among those people, many major shareholders have close ties with our Democratic Party. If possible, I believe they will change their positions. After all, your ability in business is better than Chairman Case. No one will dislike their money, right?”

After hearing this, Han Xuan couldn't help but smile. This time, Mr. Byron played the role of sending a microphone between himself and the Democratic Party, and maybe Chairman Case also asked him for help.

Since the trend of the Democratic Party has changed rapidly and has begun to seek cooperation with itself, it means that Time Warner Group and the Democratic Party have been forced into a very embarrassing situation, otherwise they would never give up easily.

The sharp drop this morning, many shareholders sold shares, and frantically swept retail investors' stocks, which forced the democratic party leadership to consider what would happen if Time Warner Group was lost, and they were paving the way for themselves in advance.

When Han Xuan found that they extended an olive branch, he would be a good person, and smiled and said to Mr. Byron: "Please rest assured, I am not a member of the Democratic Party, but I am not a Republican.

In the morning, I had already communicated with President Clinton and reached an agreement on the acquisition of Time Warner Group.

I am a businessman, so I naturally hope to see my business expanding. As long as the party’s proposition is beneficial to me, I will support which party.

The friendly relations between Time Warner Group and the Democratic Party will not change, and I can guarantee you at this point that this is also my promise to President Clinton."

Byron had not known that Han Xuan had spoken with President Clinton before. As a Democratic Party Whip, he had enough strength to speak in front of the president. If the president wants to realize a certain political idea, he will definitely not be able to avoid the majority leader and the party whip. If it is not a matter of position, he can even serve as the vice president of the United States.

I roughly understood what Han Xuan meant and found that Han Xuan hoped to keep Times Group neutral, just like ATV. It was not the best result, but it was by no means the worst. As for the idea of ​​exchange of interests, this is the unspoken rule of mutual assistance between American politics and business. In the past, using Time Warner Group as a soundtrack was not done for free.

Nodding, Mr. Byron said with a smile on his face: "It should be so. I believe we will reach an agreement on certain views in the future. In return, the proposal on tax cuts in the Internet industry will be passed to Congress for a near future discussion.

Your Internet industry has not been in good shape recently. The government cannot sit idly by and watch many outstanding companies go bankrupt. I believe that after a new round of mergers, some outstanding Internet companies will be born, increasing our United States' influence around the world.

Only Vice President Gore is most familiar with President Clinton's information highway plan. He is already responsible for policy arrangements in this regard. I believe that in his hands, the recovery of the Internet industry will be very beneficial."

There are only sugar-coated and no shells, and the shells may be hidden in secret for the time being. However, at least during this conversation, Han Xuan had an absolute advantage. I believe that Mr. Byron was very frustrated because he had no trump card to compete with when facing Han Xuan.

Han Xuan wanted to laugh a little. When he just talked about the merger and tax exemption policy, he did not deliberately control the micro-expression on his face. Unexpectedly, Byron really caught it and gave it to him as a gift for the Democratic Party to show goodwill.

I am more determined to win Time Warner Group. I feel that it doesn’t matter if I pay more. If I get the controlling stake in Time Warner Group, it means that both parties will curry favor with themselves for a long time. This feeling is really great.

Then he said: "Vice President Gore is really good. There is no candidate with equal strength as his. I remember that the approval rating is as high as 60%, right?

At present, I just need to be good at doing himself. When I need my help next year, I can give Vice President Gore some support.

I had a great conversation with you. Mr. Byron, my company lacks a capable staff like you. Will you be willing to be my consultant after retirement?"

Hearing this sentence, Byron immediately smiled. Most companies give money to politicians like this. The Han family is famous for being generous and nodded decisively and said, "That's great. I'm happy to continue to do something for society after retirement..." 8919
