Chapter 689 Are you here to pick someone up too?
Patricia returned from Japan to attend a celebratory reception organized by her father Reagan for the new President Bush.

At her age, Patricia has experienced what it feels like to be a superior person in Japan.

No matter how powerful an official appears on TV, he or she is always respectful in front of her.

No matter how many men flock to him, she has to choose the one who wants to lick her toes.

When people get tired of playing with men, there are still women. The Japanese always have a variety of things to please this American princess.

What a pity, she wasted such a good life in the past few years.

This woman Maureen, you didn't tell her such a good thing earlier. After all, they are not biological sisters from the same mother.

She knew that she couldn't blame her ex-husband, after all, it was her ex-husband who appointed the Asia-Pacific vice president of this investment fund.

But Uncle Bush is my father's old partner. My father also cheered for him in this victory, and my ex-husband also donated generously. There is a high probability that their family will continue to have influence and wealth, right?
When the time comes, I'll take some family photos with Uncle Bush, and then inadvertently show the Japanese that the Reagan family and the Bush family are like brothers after all.

She still wants to bully others in Japan for a while.

After returning to Washington, she naturally ran into her ex-husband Wang Yuanchao again, and they all attended Bush's celebratory reception together.

"Let's go for a drink together tonight?" Patricia invited.

I don’t know if it’s distance that creates beauty, or if it’s the years of hard work that have made Patricia mature. In Wang Yuanchao’s opinion, she is even more attractive than when she was young.

Anyway, he had nothing to do in Washington, so he nodded and agreed immediately.

Wang Yuanchao wanted to arrange a place, and Patricia said:

"Come sit down in the bar. It's been a while since I've been to a bar. I still remember when I first met you, we all went to the bar together."

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Do you still remember it?"

Patricia raised her eyes and said:
"Don't you need memories? Back then, you could beat me, Beth, and Kate! Now, I'm afraid I can beat you alone."

Although Wang Yuanchao knew that this was Patricia's naked seduction, the trick was not old, but useful. How strong his body was, only old lovers could compare, right?

He immediately said:
"Even if there are three of us, it's no problem. But now we are separated from each other and it will be difficult for us to get together. But if there is only one of you, I will make you unable to get out of bed tomorrow."

Patricia wanted to laugh immediately, but thinking back to the last time, although it had been a few years, Adam's performance was indeed quite impressive, but that was one-on-one, what about one-on-many?

"I'll contact Beth and Kate and have them charter a plane over here!"

Wang Yuanchao didn't know Beth's current situation, but as for Kate, Wang Yuanchao sent her to bed with Zipperton and asked her to give birth to a child for him. Kate tried to rekindle their old relationship with him several times, but he refused. This woman might be summoned by Patricia with just one phone call.

It's just that he can't tell Patricia about this. It's just a little secret between him and Kate.

Wang Yuanchao could only wave silently, and Patricia happily ran to make a phone call.

Brother-in-law Michael saw the two of them separate and came over to say hello:

"How many days will you stay in Washington this time?"

Wang Yuanchao said:

"Let's end the celebration party."

Michael Road:

"President Bush gave me several positions to choose from: commerce, transportation, energy, and education. Can I hear your suggestions?"

This was one of the contents of the deal between Reagan and Bush. If it succeeded, Bush would definitely reward him. The family celebration reception on Tuesday night was not only for celebration, but also for Bush to get Michael's consent, because he had to give the remaining position to someone else.

Wang Yuanchao said without even thinking:
"energy!"

Michael was a little surprised. He thought Adam would suggest that he choose business. After all, he worked in Los Angeles Communications and had rich experience in technology and business. Asking Adam was just a way of showing respect to him.

Unexpectedly, the other party actually gave him advice directly, and it was ranked as his third choice.

"Can you tell me why? You know, I'm not as smart as you, and I can't see as far as you can."

Michael was quite polite in his words. At his position, he knew the value of the financial backer better.

“Oil and dollars.”

Wang Yuanchao just said these two words.

This was in 74, when the United States and the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, led by Saudi Arabia, reached an agreement to use the U.S. dollar as the currency for oil pricing, trading, and settlement. If other countries want to purchase oil in the international market, they must first have U.S. dollars.

Saudi Arabia and other oil exporting countries will use the US dollars earned from exporting oil to flow back to the United States through the purchase of US bonds and other means.

The "petrodollar" has thus become an important commodity pillar supporting the global circulation of the US dollar and the dollar's pursuit of global hegemony.

Michael suddenly felt that his foresight was indeed not as long-term as Adam's.

Whether it is business or not, and whether you are there or not, how much difference does it make?

But there is a big difference between having oil or not, and whether you have it or not.

This is true for him and also for Wang Yuanchao.

His country, Boro, is one of the largest oil exporters in Southeast Asia, second only to Indonesia.

The oil resources in Sumatra, Indonesia, are extremely abundant.

Therefore, having someone on his side in terms of energy would be of great help to Wang Yuanchao, as this way the little devils would not be able to make things difficult for the Boluo Kingdom.

As for business, they are all American companies, what does he have to worry about?
And what is Bush Sr.'s most famous achievement?
——The “Desert Storm” military offensive launched by the U.S. military in Iraq in 91.

The Middle East is all about oil.

Michael thought that no matter what, he should listen to Adam, and he thanked him with a smile. The two chatted for a while, and his brother-in-law Ron also joined in. Ron was 31 years old and had been in the NBA for many years. He was not married yet. His brothers and sisters had found a career to fight for, but he was confused.

Wang Yuanchao owns the Los Angeles Lions, and Ron originally thought that his brother-in-law would let him be in charge of the team, but the professional manager Wang Yuanchao found did a better job running the team.

However, he is doing well in the NBA management and is now a middle-level figure in the NBA, but compared with his older brothers and sisters, he is much inferior.

"Have you ever thought about changing your industry?" Wang Yuanchao asked.

Ron shook his head and said:
"I've been in the NBA for a long time, so I'm more used to it."

Michael smiled and said:
"I have long suggested that he try a different environment. Technology, finance, entertainment, and media are all options. There are still many options."

Ron laughed:

"If I get tired of basketball one day, I might become a reporter. Please remember to take care of me then."

Wang Yuanchao said:

“Since you still want to stay in the NBA, I suggest you try to expand your NBA business.

For example, in the East, there is a lack of sports programs that are worth watching.

And the NBA, I'm not bragging, there is no more exciting basketball league than it.

Only when there is a large enough audience base can the value of this sport be reflected and enhanced.”

David Ernst should have visited China in 89 and signed a broadcasting agreement with Zhuang TV, so that mainland fans can watch a certain number of NBA games every year. The influence may not be seen at the moment, but in ten to fifteen years, the audience base in the mainland will grow rapidly. At that time, the mainland will be an important viewing battlefield for the NBA that cannot be ignored.

"The best time to cultivate an audience was ten years ago, and the second best time is now," Wang Yuanchao added, indirectly explaining that the effectiveness of this work would have to be seen in the future.

Ron nodded and said:
"I understand. If you don't do something, there will never be any result. I will prepare a work plan when I get back so that I can report it to the president."

The three of them were chatting animatedly when they saw Patricia come back.

Michael and Ron left consciously, leaving room for the two.

Patricia made an OK gesture and said:
“One of them is in New York and the other is in Little Rock, and they’ll be here before dinner!

There are too many people at home. Do you have any other place to stay in Washington? It’s a bit inconvenient to go to the hotel. ”

Except for Maureen's plane arriving tomorrow, the other brothers and sisters have gathered at the manor here.

Wang Yuanchao shrugged and said:
"Another manor will host a welcome reception the day after tomorrow, and the event company will go in to set up tonight."

Patricia said:
"It's okay, just ask them to go after twelve o'clock. Is the time left for you enough?"

Wang Yuanchao said helplessly:

"I have an apartment, so I'll just stay there. I don't want to be exhausted and have to move to another place to sleep."

Patricia smiled:

"Haha, very good. Are you going to admit defeat before it even starts?"

……

The two packed up their hats, sunglasses, and masks and went to the airport to pick someone up.

Patricia seemed very excited:

"Remember how you beat up those hooligans and raced your car? It was so cool! Every cell in my body was excited when I got in your car."

Wang Yuanchao said:

"You've ridden in my car quite a few times, right?"

Patricia said:
"That's different. This time, the three of us sisters are together again. Youth is back!"

Patricia was going crazy in the car, but suddenly she calmed down, looked at Wang Yuanchao, and said:
"Is that car in front Nancy's?"

Wang Yuanchao had discovered it a long time ago, but Nancy wouldn't drive so wildly.

"You've discovered it a long time ago? Can you avoid it?" Patricia noticed the clue.

"Isn't Ronan driving? Hurry, catch up and take a look!" Patricia commanded.

Wang Yuanchao's car was on the side and behind, and he could clearly see Ronan, who looked very excited, in the driver's seat.

As expected, the two cars and the family of three met at the airport.

As soon as Ronan got off the car, he saw his parents standing beside him and looking at him.

"Hi, Dad, Mom, are you here to pick someone up too?" Ronan reacted quickly. It was impossible for his parents to follow him. Besides, it was likely that his father had some idea about Winona's matter. He arranged everything, right? It was just that his mother was rarely seen. Don't scare the little girl later. His mother was a little crazy sometimes, not as easy to talk to as his father.

Wang Yuanchao nodded:

"We are here to pick up two of your mother's friends. It's a rare occasion for your mother to come back. Are you here to pick up some friends as well?"

Seeing his father's cooperation, Ronan understood what was going on and said seriously:

"Yes, a good friend. Grandpa agreed that I could invite her to be my date for the cocktail party on Tuesday~"

Before Wang Yuanchao could speak, Patricia frowned:

"girlfriend???"
