Chapter 401 Focus on HSD
On the Capitol Hill, 25 meters high in Washington.
A 233-meter-long three-story building with white marble as the main material. There is a three-story dome with a very high appearance on the central top floor. A 6-meter-high bronze statue of the Statue of Liberty stands above the dome. The north and south wings on both sides of the dome are the Capitols at the House of Representatives and the Senate offices respectively.
It imitates the Pantheon in Paris, expresses its majesty and emphasizes monumentality. It is a representative work of classical revival architecture.
In the office, Smith, Old Smith took a cigar and spit out the smoke, savoring the mellow fragrance. David had just left. As an aide who had been with him for 8 years, David was trustworthy. He followed him for many years and was very clear about Washington's path and knew how to deal with politicians.
In fact, the best way for people like David is to join lobbying companies, but David's life attitude is too pursuing stability. This time Andy acquired Newsweek, Smith, the old man attached great importance to this important mouthpiece and an important platform for American universal values. He should not be careless at all. Andy is too young and has been playing politics for a lifetime, so Smith, naturally knows how dirty it is.
There must be an expert who is good at understanding this aspect to protect his grandson. The economy and politics are never separated. Almost all major American companies spend too much on Washington lobbying companies every year.
But it depends on what David and Andy meant. In any case, his grandson also needed a professional who was good at dealing with the government, and at the same time helped him prevent various conspiracies.
The world has never been peaceful and safe, especially in the world of rich people who possess a lot of resources. If you remember correctly, a newspaper in the Rabbit Kingdom once offered a high price to acquire News Weekly, and was kicked out before the first round.
Andy, who flew to Washington on a private plane, naturally didn't know that his grandfather had already started to build a private consultant team for him.
In the conference room of the private jet, everyone was discussing fiercely, making plans for the adjustment after taking over "News Weekly". On the other side, the little assistant Tory Black looked at the girlfriend of the Great Devil who had always had a gentle smile but sharp eyes.
"I have seen your photos in the newspaper before. This is the first time I have seen you today. Real people are more beautiful than in the photos. At work, Andy hasn't made things difficult for you?" Ivana asked softly with a faint smile on her lips, looking at the little assistant who was obviously a little uncomfortable.
"I'm honored to meet you, Miss Ivana. I am usually responsible for helping the boss clean up the office and prepare briefings. The boss will be very busy after work, and he is very focused at work and needs a quiet environment. So he almost dares to disturb his work except for delivering coffee..."
Tory Black suppressed her guilt, sat upright, and replied seriously. She was a novice in the workplace, but not a fool. If she showed too guilty at this time, with the intelligence of a woman like Ivana, she would be troubled by the time she would be. Why should she bring herself with her?
"Haha, yes, he really hates others' disturbances when it comes to coffee, I heard Andy talk about it and said that the coffee you make is great..."
"Miss Ivana, wait a moment, I'll make a drink for you!"
Tory Black took the conversation tactfully, took out three boxes from his bag, stood up, and smiled embarrassedly, and walked quickly towards the kitchen at the front of the cabin in his high heels.
Ivana looked at the little assistant's back and showed a faint smile on her face, but the doubts in her heart did not completely dissipate. Perhaps only she knew her true thoughts. Looking at Andy, who was listening to his advice from her subordinates, she couldn't help but remember what he said to him when she returned home to pack her luggage, and her eyes became more firm.
Since it is the right person, you must always hold it firmly in your hands, and no one can take it away from your own hands!
Washington Dulles Airport, four black Escalades outside the private jet apron have been waiting for a long time. Andy and Ivana walked down the suspension ladder with their fingers tightly closed. After getting into the car, Andy said apologetically: "Dear, I'm sorry, I've been having a meeting and I don't have time to accompany you..."
"It doesn't matter, after all, this acquisition is the most important thing. Once the acquisition is completed, my goodness, I can't imagine that the whole United States will be shocked by this news. People don't care about the details. They will only remember that at the age of 22, you bought News Weekly, which has a 70-year-old history of 4 million subscriptions worldwide for 70 years. They will call you a new giant in the publishing industry!"
The more Ivana said, his eyes became brighter and his voice became slightly excited and sharp. He held Andy's cheek with both hands, "Dear, this is simply amazing, it's incredible, I love you!"
Andy happily accepted the fragrant kiss and turned the brief taste into a deep and hot kiss. It was not until Ivana's breathing became heavy that she let go of her red lips and licked her lips. Andy hugged Ivana, who had a rosy face, into her arms, and looked at the scenery that kept disappearing backwards outside the car window.
"Dear, the celebration of the acquisition is up to you. I need Washington to re-reach Newsweek, and also need to ease the relationship between the weekly and the White House. I can no longer be as irritated as before." Andy gently stroked Ivana's back in his arms and kissed her hair twice.
Ivana's beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light, and she was very excited. She sat up straight, grabbed Andy's big hand with her jade hand, and said softly: "Don't worry, my dear, I will prepare everything. Thank you, my dear."
Andy knew why Ivana thanked him last. After all, this banquet was planned to be held in the name of the Smith family, and his grandfather also promised to help him invite guests, including the President's family.
This banquet will attract much attention in Washington. As her pillow, Andy naturally knows the personality of her girlfriend.
She likes to be noticed, and likes the occasion where big names gather, which allows her to show her style and build connections. Sometimes Andy feels that perhaps Washington is more suitable for Ivana.
Since she likes it, please satisfy her, as long as she is happy!
Andy himself also knew that he might not be able to fully satisfy Ivana in terms of emotions, and he had done a lot of things. Using other methods to make up for it can at least reduce a trace of guilt in his heart.
OK, it may be a bit pretentious, but in terms of things like feelings, you will be moved even if you are heartless.
The hotel I stayed at still chose the p International Hotel. After all, it would make Ivana feel home-like, so she still chose the luxurious suite named after her.
Since I made an appointment with my family to have dinner together, Andy and Ivana just took a break in the room, changed their clothes, and left the suite side by side with their fingers tightly closed.
In a famous restaurant called the monole, the Smiths were laughing and talking in a rectangular box.
"The dishes here are really good!" Andy was very satisfied with the dishes in this restaurant. Both the ingredients and taste can be said to be very excellent.
"Haha, this restaurant is your grandfather's favorite, and since its opening in 1960, it has been entertaining almost every president, senator and member of Congress since Kennedy, and they have often come to this restaurant." Andy's grandmother wiped her lips elegantly with a white napkin.
Andy curled his lips and nodded without objection, continuing to taste the food he was plated. Li Wanqing was chatting with Ivana. After all, as the designer of the Ivana jewelry brand, Li Wanqing really has many topics to talk about.
"Did you come to Washington this time just to see us?" As a newcomer to the elephant, Auston is now considered the No. 1 figure in Washington after a period of familiarity and adjustment. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a high spirit. After all, he is a political star promoted by the Elephant Party.
Andy curled his lips, feeling a little unhappy that his father raised his chin and looked very arrogant, and he turned his eyes to Old Smith, who had been smiling.
