Chapter 741 House of Cards (Part 1)

Because of staying up late, Guo Shouyun got up a little late the next day. But after he got dressed and got up, Wang Jue and Wu Xiaojing greeted him worriedly.

“What happen to you guys?”

“Boss, look!”

Wang Jue handed over a stack of newspapers in his hand, all of which were the latest today.

ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

At the top is the New York Times, which is also Guo Shouyun’s must-read newspaper every morning when he eats breakfast. Newspapers are one of the most convenient sources of important information about the country in a time long before smartphones became commonplace.

After opening it, I saw that the front page of the New York Times read “Silicon Valley Rich Supports the Hot War in Iraq” in black and enlarged font.

What follows seems to paint him as a staunch supporter of war.

Not only the New York Times, but the Christian Monitor also published similar content on the front page with the headline ‘I Support War’.

In addition, the typical conservative media, the “Wall Street Journal” and “Washington Times”, which usually slander him in the newspapers, sang his praises uncharacteristically this time.

The Wall Street Journal openly wrote in the newspaper, “All Americans should learn from Bruce Guo, firmly support Washington’s military operations in Iraq, and safeguard the interests of the United States of America.”

“The New York Times, The Christian Monitor, The Wall Street Journal, and The Washington Times, four national newspapers, as well as a dozen local media outlets have covered your support for the Iraq War. Disseminated with modern information Speed, this will soon become national news. It will even spread to the world.” Wang Jue said firmly, “Boss, we must take certain measures to prevent this risk.”

Wu Xiaojing nodded in agreement, “Now, as President Bush begins his second term and the war in Iraq continues, there has been a fierce debate in the United States over war and anti-war. At this critical moment, it is obvious to push the boss out. Someone wants you to get involved in this whirlpool and become a target for people to vent their emotions.”

After listening, Guo Shouyun sighed inwardly while looking at the newspaper in his hand.

“This is really a wave of unresolved waves!”

“Jingle Bell…!”

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

After taking a look at the caller ID, he pressed the answer button.

“Hey, Wendy…!”

“Bruce, have you read this morning’s newspaper?” Guo Shouyun was interrupted by the impatient Wendy before he could finish speaking.

“Look!”

“It’s all about your pro-war remarks. When pro-war and anti-war confrontation is fierce, they publish this kind of news, obviously with bad intentions. We should go to court to sue them.” Wendy’s emotional response road.

“Okay, Wendy. Calm down for a moment. Court prosecution obviously won’t solve the problem, and now more than half of the people in the United States support war. If we deny war, it means that we are on the opposite side of them. We also stand. The opposite of Washington, which is not desirable.”

“…Also, you understand the nature of news dissemination. Our prosecution will only accelerate the dissemination of this information, not inhibit it at all.”

“Don’t you care about that?”

“Of course you have to manage it, but you can’t solve it with a lawsuit.” After a pause, “Don’t worry, I will have a solution.”

“Well, I believe you!”

“How is it today, is your body okay?”

“Dr White just checked me out yesterday and the kids are all healthy!”

“That’s good. Leave the outside affairs to me, and you can just wait for the delivery in peace.”

After explaining, Guo Shouyun hung up the phone. After a brief consideration, Guo Shouyun called Karl Rove.

“Karl, did you see today’s paper?”

“I see! What are you going to do?”

“I haven’t figured it out yet. But I want to find out who is behind the push.” Guo Shouyun said in a serious tone.

“I’ll help you investigate this matter. But didn’t you notice it before?”

“I noticed some, but I didn’t expect them to attack it. Also, I’m not sure how many people are standing in the dark.”

“What are the forces that you already know?”

“The Schiffs and Bear Stearns.”

“Bear Stearns?”

“Charles Prince left Citigroup and became President and COO of Bear Stearns.”

Karl Rove suddenly realized that although Guo Shouyun’s bet with Citigroup in 2001 was finally resolved because of 9.11, Citigroup suffered a huge loss in gold futures, losing billions of dollars. Directly let the then Citi CEO Charles Prince be expelled from the board of directors.

Later, after a year of silence, he became the president and chief operating officer of Bear Stearns, the fifth largest investment bank on Wall Street, at the invitation of Jimmy Cain.

Jimmy Cain is Chairman and Chief Operating Officer of Bear Stearns.

“It seems that Charles Prince really misses you!” Karl Rove laughed.

“Understandable, after all, I made him lose the Citi CEO throne.”

“Since you know who the enemy is, why didn’t you act sooner?”

“You have to get rid of the disease, otherwise it will only recur in the future. So I have to wait for all these guys to jump out before I do it. And with the scale of publicity seen today, the Schiff family and Bear Stearns alone can’t do it.”

Karl Rove nodded in agreement.

“I will investigate and help you as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, Carl!”

“Bruce, we’ve been friends for many years, you’re welcome!”

After hanging up the phone, Karl Rove’s smile disappeared, looked at the two people sitting in front of him, and said coldly, “I think you heard the call just now, should you be satisfied?”

“Karl, don’t say that. We’re all in the same boat!”

A middle-aged man with a slender face and slightly curled hair smiled.

“Jerry Middledell, if I had a choice, I shouldn’t have gone to that **** banquet at all! I wouldn’t have blinded you as a friend.”

Looking at his fire-breathing eyes, Barclays Capital President Jerry Middledell smiled shyly. To be honest, if he hadn’t brought Karl Rove to the well-built wine bureau of the man behind him, and used the next trick to stun the other party and take pictures, I’m afraid this college roommate wouldn’t be so easy to compromise.

“Karl, even without a picture of Jerry. If we broke the news of your betrayal of Valerie Prime’s identity to the press, you’d be ruined too.”

“Richard Bruce Cheney, do you really think that just ‘selling out Valerie Prime’s spy status’ will make me compromise?”

Meeting his icy gaze, Vice President Richard Bruce Cheney shrugged.

“Probably not. But now you have no choice, don’t you? And, if Bruce Guo knew that it was you who disclosed to us his plans to acquire Merrill Lynch, and it was still at the stage when his acquisition plan was about to be implemented, If he is destroyed by us, do you think he will trust you as a friend again?”

A trace of pain flashed in Karl Rove’s eyes. He has done everything in his life to help countless Republicans enter the political arena, and even personally sent George W. Bush to the presidency, but in the end he himself fell into a trap carefully laid out by others.

This is the biggest joke God has ever given him!

“I have helped you get the information you want, and now you can go!” Karl Rove waved his hand tiredly.

Jerry Middledell and Richard Bruce Cheney looked at each other and stood up at the same time.

“Carl, Bruce Guo has violated the interests of too many people. And a yellow-skinned infidel is not allowed on the American table. So even without you, this operation will not be cancelled. Your good friend , will become insignificant in the future.”

Karl Rove stood up and looked directly at Richard Bruce Cheney and said, “In 2001, people from Citi, ING, the Bahrain family, the Schiff family, and the Enron Alliance were as confident as you, and the result was Enron. And the Bahrain family fell apart, and Citi, the Schiffs, and ING lost a lot. Do you really think Bruce is so easy to deal with?”

Richard Bruce Cheney smiled faintly, “Our current alliance is ten times stronger than the Citi Alliance three years ago. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com”

“Bruce Guo’s strength is ten times stronger than three years ago!”

Richard Bruce Cheney’s expression instantly turned gloomy. To be honest, with their entangled forces, the reason why they used the tricks to harass Karl Rove is not a sign of lack of confidence? !

“I hope Bruce Guo can live up to your expectations! Goodbye!”

Looking at the two who turned and left, Karl Rove’s face became gloomy. After a while, he shook his head with a wry smile, “Bruce, I’m sorry! After all, I still love myself more!”

“Richard, what are the chances of our success this time?”

Sitting in the car on the way back, Jerry Middledell asked suddenly after a long silence.

Glancing at him, “Why do you ask that?”

“We are dealing with a business giant that can mobilize hundreds of billions of dollars and is supported by more than a dozen large companies, and Bruce Guo’s strength and wisdom have been vividly demonstrated in the past five years…”

After the voice gradually faded, Jerry Middledell slowly shook his head.

“Since you don’t have enough confidence in yourself, why are you still involved?”

“I needed money, and they gave me that! Barclays also covets Bruce Guo’s property.” Jerry Middledell shrugged.

“I’m the same as you! But the success or failure of this matter has little to do with us. We’ve got our share, as long as we get what we need to do. As for the rest, it’s Wall Street and those Something for business tycoons to think about.”

Jerry Middledell nodded.

The car pulled into a manor outside Washington. After they were brought into the parlour by the servants, the people who were waiting here stood up.
