America started its counterattack from the bum

Chapter 414: Zongheng 4 - The disaster is over, a new good time
"I feel like a gladiator heading to the arena, Chan."

In the lounge next to the California Senate Hall, Lisa and Cheng Daiqi were sitting in formal attire.

The blonde white girl was obviously not used to such special occasions.

The new general manager felt a little suffocated at the thought of facing so many greetings from senators.

"This is not a gladiatorial arena. Every one of the people inside is older than you. If a fight really breaks out, you might be able to kill them all."

Cheng Daiqi's joke was so bad that Lisa couldn't laugh at all, but out of social etiquette, she still forced a smile.

"Will you sit in the gallery later?"

If Mr. Cheng was around, she would probably perform better.

I don’t know why, but when I saw the nervous Lisa, Mr. Cheng wanted to laugh.

Even such a strong woman can sometimes not hold on. All we can say is that she needs more experience.

"Of course, don't worry, if someone wants to throw a boot at you, my shoe size will definitely be bigger than his - knock him out!"

"Chan, this is the California Senate, no one here would be so immoral"

"It's hard to say. Boots are thrown at the UN General Assembly. If they make trouble and interrupt your speech, you can take off your high heels and knock on the table to make them keep quiet."

"do not talk"

Mr. Cheng was talking too much nonsense, and Lisa felt dizzy.

The blonde girl discovered miraculously that after Mr. Cheng slightly removed his balls, she was no longer nervous.

A parliamentary staff member with a name badge pushed open the half-open door of the lounge and spoke to Lisa and Cheng Daiqi.

"You two, it's almost time. We'll start in a few minutes."

The blonde asked hurriedly.

“Have our submissions reached the senators yet?”

Seeing that Lisa was a great beauty, the staff member explained politely.

"It has been submitted. However, this type of hearing is of a special nature, and senators generally do not use the materials provided by the person being questioned as a basis for judgment."
-
The Senate questioning sounds like it is from a powerful institution.

You have questions, we inquire, and you get answers—seems great, right?

However, this thing is a tool and a stage for performance.

Just to tell you a joke, a lot of Boeing whistleblowers have died, but it can still survive the questioning and continue to make money.

How come this country's judgment is reflected on the United States, it turns out to be the fact.

All I can say is that public intellectuals are valuable.

"Chan, you're here?" Will had already been waiting in the audience seats. Seeing Cheng Daiqi sitting next to him, the governor's younger brother hurriedly greeted him.

"The California Children's Foundation still needs you to come in person to ask for a budget?"

Since they were free, Mr. Cheng started chatting with Will.

"I can't help it. The process has to be followed. I'm the person in charge and need to come here. It just so happens that we bump into each other here, hahahaha."

Will is a good-for-nothing, but he understands that Cheng has screwed him and his brothers over, so he respects Cheng very much.

"I thought it was deliberately designed by the governor."

Cheng Daiqi actually guessed the truth. He was magnanimous enough, and Niu Sen was also magnanimous enough. They directly sent Will to sit in the audience and watch Xinshi's application being questioned.

This is roughly equivalent to "I'll just sit here and watch, you can judge me however you want, don't bother me."

Questioning does not necessarily have serious consequences, but that does not mean that questioning will be easy to pass.

Whether you can pass or not depends on the individual.

At least in California, Will and Lisa are extraordinary people - and the boss behind them is extraordinary.

However, it was a bit too cautious for Lisa to attend in person.

As the CEO of Xinshi, Lisa attended the hearing in person even though Cheng Daiqi had already dealt with Niu Sen and the second attempt to pass the review was inevitable.

The reason for this is that the application to convert to a non-profit organization must be approved by the Senate twice, which requires that the data in all aspects must be prepared well. She has done a lot of work in this regard.

Mr. Cheng is the leader of this force, but that doesn't mean he can make decisions on everything. Lisa has made efforts, and as a leader, he has to recognize such efforts.

The premise of taking everything for granted is that you don’t care enough about what other people think.

President Cheng obviously hasn't grown to that level yet.

So, Lisa thought that President Cheng should attend in person to support and protect her so that she could feel her own value.

To some extent, this is also a way to win people's hearts.

"Hahaha, don't worry about it, Chan. I'm just curious, is Wolf really planning to get married?"

When Gwill asked this, President Cheng's eyebrows suddenly raised.

what's the situation?
"Isn't your brother afraid that you'll mess it up again?"

Niu Sen is also a careless person. He was tricked into becoming a fool by his younger brother, but he still dared to assign work to Gwill.

"I just thought you were spurring me on," Gwill replied resentfully.

"I have already arranged for Tiffany's boyfriend to be with someone, and there will be results soon. Don't forget, before I met you, I had never had any problems on the West Coast!"

President Cheng nodded slightly and looked at Lisa who was sitting at her seat adjusting the microphone.

He didn't believe Gwill, no matter how loud he played it, but he believed Niu Sen.

Niu Sen can deceive voters, but he dare not deceive them into becoming a big shot.

Niu Sen: Who can fool you? Born!
"Look, well, is anyone going to embarrass us?"

Gwill replied quickly.

"Two have been arranged. They will find faults from beginning to end, but as long as you are prepared, there will be no problem. They are just pretending."

"Can't we check the script in advance?" Cheng Daiqi said with some regret.

We have to keep working hard, it’s not enough now.

"Chan, senators are not puppets. The power of California Senate members is no less than that of congressional representatives. They may even be greater.

Each of these senators has their own political views, they are not actors!"

Chunchun lied with open eyes, and Cheng Daiqi was speechless.

"Is this appropriate for you to say as a member of the California Gang, Will?"

This is too hurtful. The California Gang is a well-known parliamentary political force within the Donald Trump Party. Each of their core figures can always win in the constituency.

When Cheng Daiqi asked this question, he was actually pointing out the most unspeakable aspect of the relationship between politics and business in the United States.

Stop acting, we are all carnivores, you are jackals and I am a tiger and leopard, OK?

"It can't be too obvious. Everyone has their own personality, especially politicians or public figures. We have to respect each other, Chan."

Will: I'm already obedient. Don't torture me.

Cheng Daiqi smiled and didn’t say anything else—that’s enough.

Inside the meeting hall, a white-haired senator coughed twice and spoke.

"Okay, Xinshi's application to transfer to a non-profit organization, um, Domis, you are the one in charge, right?"

"This is the Speaker." Gwill introduced Cheng Daiqi in a low voice.

"Yes, Mr. Speaker, I was the one who presided over the last review."

Domis glanced at Lisa, pushed up his glasses, and said righteously.

"Okay, let's get started."

The blonde sitting opposite the congressmen looked back at the gallery and saw Cheng Daiqi chatting with Gwill.

One is the boss of her family, and the other is the shadow of the governor. When these two people sit together, she feels much calmer.

In fact, Lisa didn't know that most of the senators participating in the questioning were also distracted. Anyway, they were not the protagonists today, they were just there to make up the numbers.

Domis asked, pretending to look at the documents in his hand.

"Ms. Lisa, please"

"I'm a biological female, but I'm here today as the general manager of Xinshi. I don't want you to treat me from a gender perspective, Senator Domis!"

Silence, silence reigns in the California Senate today.

No one dared to be distracted, even the senator who had been in the bank party until eight in the morning last night was awake.

Confirmed the ingredients - he's up to no good!

"Chan, is this her strategy?"

Gwill was a little impressed. This girl Lisa really had some ideas.

"No, it's my strategy. Although we are members of the Elephant Party, Will, you know that living in California requires some political wisdom."

There is no such thing as taking sides. When he reached a position of great status, he was hedging his bets.

The peace deal with Niu Sen is also part of the double-bet, letting Lisa show a certain stance is also part of it, and it is also related to the response plan to Xinshi's questioning.

"That's crazy, your ideas are very unusual. I have a question." Will said hesitantly.

"what?"

"Wolf's marriage partner must be from a political family or aristocratic family of the Elephant Party. Why did you think of asking us for help?

Have you ever thought that doing this would give us leverage over you?"

"Niu Sen shouldn't have asked you to do this, Will. America's plate is so small, and there are too many people who want to eat the food on it. The best strategy is for everyone to eat together.

As for why I'm looking for your California gang, ha, your brother should know, go ask him."

Will smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to ask any more questions.

Of course he knew that his brother understood, but he pretended to know a lot and took on the matter at the time. If he asked again now, he would be scolded.

Alas, as a person with less outstanding talents, Will has to live among smart people, which makes him very tired. "., OC is even more inappropriate, this is a highly commercial perfume company.

I want to ask, Lisa, how will OC operate in the new era in the future - go out on the street and hand out perfume to people? "

Neither side dared to talk much about gender issues. During the formal questioning session, the parliamentarians asked one sharp question after another.

As the name suggests, non-profit organizations cannot be operated on a commercial basis.

The model of a charitable foundation is to spend a fixed portion of its annual expenditure on charity, while non-profit organizations go a step further and require that their operations have a significant public nature.

That is, to selflessly create value for society.

"Yes, we go out on the street and hand out perfume to people. We have always done this. Do you have any opinion?"

The blonde's answer gave the congressmen a little shock.

No, are you serious?
"You can look at the OC data sheet and we give out $60 million worth of perfume to the homeless every year on the streets - the production cost alone is $32 million.

We have been working hard to give those poor people a dignified choice!"

The congressmen were controlled by Lisa. Domis stared at the report in astonishment, feeling a little dizzy.

No, are you that crazy?

You're pushing us hard, right?

Isn't it just a matter of acting out the show to each other and that's enough?
Unfortunately, Lisa disagreed, and Cheng Daiqi disagreed even more!

"Please look at pages 73 to 135 of the document. These are all related pictures. Pages 91 to 96 show the efforts OC has made in the 'Perfume Equality' campaign over the years.

The total investment has exceeded 100 million, and the number of related activities has exceeded 200. We have been working hard to fulfill our corporate mission, gentlemen! "

When Cheng Daiqi in the audience heard Lisa mention the equality of perfume, he sighed softly.

He thought of that day, ha, fate is truly indescribable.

"Wow~Wow~"

The sound of flipping through documents came one after another. The congressmen were looking at pictures, and Lisa continued to output.

“In the photo on the upper part of page 91, Chan and I both appeared. At that time, we were doing an event on Red Street, where homeless people gathered in Saint-Lou.

He is now the president of Xinshi, and I am the CEO of Xinshi. Along the way, we have made far more contributions to charity than this.

Dear Member, OC is a commercial company, but it has never paid dividends to its shareholders!
why?
Because all our profits go to charity!

This is also the reason why I dare to stand here.

If you don’t believe me, you can go to the streets and ask. Those who have received gifts from OC will give you the answer! ”

Domis was silent. He knew there was something fishy going on, but it was normal for something fishy to happen.

But in the picture, the president and CEO of Xinshi were standing on the dirty street. They were smiling brightly and seemed to be really proud of their actions.

In the audience, Cheng Daiqi stood up and applauded.

Will woke up as if from a dream and stood up and applauded.

There was sparse applause (there were few people), and everyone in the venue gave Lisa the highest praise.

“Okay, the next part, Xizhou Logistics, Lisa, Xizhou Logistics is a well-known business company, it has a large market share in the central and west coast.

I need to remind you that in the United States, no large logistics group has obtained a non-profit license from any state.

If we give West Coast unfair tax terms, then it will be unfair to other companies in the industry!"

Another congressman took over Domis's position and raised the question from a different angle.

“You are wrong, Xizhou Logistics itself is non-profit, and its incorporation into Xinshi just changed the management entity!

In Missouri, it has obtained non-profit certification in the state. If you disagree with Xizhou's non-profit certification in California, we can separate it from Xinshi." Lisa responded calmly.

Explosive killing!

You like to speak freely, right?

Your face is swollen!
Domis turned sideways and whispered to the questioner whose face was already flushed.

"The tax situation of this large group is rather special. Its branches pay taxes normally, but the head office is located in Missouri. Let's put it this way. Xizhou is not the focus of today's questioning."

"You should ask," the congressman with a swollen face replied in a low voice.

For the senators participating in the questioning, they actually have little motivation to find fault.

Xinshi has made it clear that it wants to become one of the major financial backers in California. The fact that these capitalists dare to push Xinshi to challenge its certification a second time shows that they have already made efforts behind the scenes.

Domis shook his head and continued to ask.

"Lisa, I noticed that in your materials, you described Xizhou as 'effective in promoting the reintegration of prisoners into society'. What exactly does this 'effective' mean?"

Will's expression twisted.

How can it not be effective?
LAPD belongs to Gru, the New Era belongs to Cheng Zong, Temir and others, and Gru is their dog.

Whether it is effective or not is just a matter of Gru's words.

The combination of political power and economic power is so unreasonable. In theory, the American parliaments at all levels have the function of supervision, but small and powerful groups have eroded the parliament's position through various means.

In a sense, today's questioning session can be regarded as a classic American political farce.

Comparable to Boeing’s inquiry – that’s a compliment, and it’s a compliment to the capital group.

"Well, Honorable Congressman Domis, 11 percent of Xizhou's employees have been criminally prosecuted and convicted. We have made a huge contribution in helping these frustrated people return to society.

In addition, recently, a special project has been launched in several prisons in Xizhou Logistics and Saint-Lo. Specifically, you can understand that by allowing them to serve their sentences outside of prison, they can earn income and be better reformed.

According to the report of the Joel Institute, this innovative cooperation can greatly reduce the possibility of these criminals committing crimes again after being released from prison!
By the way, the report summary and charts are on page 64. ”

The Joel Institute, whose full name is the 'Joel Dracula Institute', is a think tank established by Mr. Cheng and others.

In fact, at this point, many marginal MPs who don’t know much about the new era have already understood what is going on.

Xizhou Logistics has non-profit certification in Missouri - its background is not simple.

Collaborating with prisons to use criminal prisoners as slave labor - the background is not simple.

Eleven percent of the employees have been in prison - their backgrounds are not simple.

This kind of fierce dragon coming from across the river will be stuck when applying for a non-profit organization for the first time, which is a big problem.

The clever ones had noticed Gwell sitting in the gallery.

Of course, not everyone buys Newsom's account, but Lisa has already spent a lot of money, giving away millions of dollars, just to get through this time.

You look down on the California Gang and don't buy into Niu Sen's account, but as an American, you have to buy into Washington's account, right?
“Well, I noticed that the BEC coin that has been making a lot of noise recently seems to be involved in your New Times.

Nonprofits can make necessary financial investments, but why would you choose cryptocurrencies?

Investing heavily in a poorly regulated sector, Lisa, is not very compliant.”

Domis was very polite, and his colleagues noticed his politeness.

This is not too compliant

Wrong, anyone who sees it will know there is a problem!

“Mr. Senator, BEC coin is only part of New Times’ investment in the cryptocurrency field. We have also invested in multiple cryptocurrency startups, such as LCE, which has also been in the limelight recently - Californians’ own cryptocurrency platform.

For this investment, we have an audit report from an independent third-party accounting firm, which is on page 49 of the document.

It is a consensus that cryptocurrency regulation is difficult, but this difficulty only exists in the transaction process. For Xinshi, every penny of our money has a source and a destination.

We welcome supervision and are not afraid of investigation. After all, investigation will only reveal the truth. There is no shameful behind-the-scenes deal at Xinshi.”

After Lisa finished speaking, she reached out for the purified water in front of her and took a sip calmly.

Domis felt a little sweat on his forehead. Of course there was a deal behind the scenes, and he took a lot of cash.
Don’t ask anymore. It would be impolite to ask again.

Especially don’t ask MAS, as it is totally inconsistent with the model of a non-profit organization.
-
Cheng Daiqi drove the car himself to send back his general who had just killed the enemy.

"Today's response was brilliant. Will was shocked."

The blonde wondered.

"What? I'm scary?"

It’s not scary or not, the main thing is that she speaks with a lot of energy and style.

such as
"No, when you said 'even though I am a biological female', Will immediately sat up straight, and those dozing congressmen didn't dare to slack off anymore, hahahaha."

President Cheng laughed freely, but Lisa felt a little sad when she thought of Gwill, the money given to those senators, and the efforts made by Cheng Daiqi behind the scenes.

"Chan, are my efforts meaningless? Things are destined to succeed, and I may just be flattering myself."

Hearing this, Cheng Daiqi looked sideways, and he found that the blonde's eyes were full of seriousness at the moment.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

Mr. Cheng asked a multiple-choice question.

Lisa's eyes moved slightly and she smiled.

"Let's just say it's a lie first. I want to have some fun first."

"To be honest, you didn't handle your attitude well during the questioning today. You were too confrontational. But it's great that you've done this for the first time. Just be careful next time."

Men have so many tricks up their sleeves, but despite this, Lisa still feels a little relieved.

She didn't do very well, but Cheng Daiqi was very considerate of her.

It’s worth my effort!
"Okay, what about the truth?"

Cheng Daiqi slowed down his speech and spoke in a rare serious tone.

“Without you, I wouldn’t be here today, Lisa. From OC, to MAS, to New Times, this is not only my career, but also yours.

You attached great importance to it and hoped that things would go smoothly, so you made such a long report. Ha, Domis took almost two hours to finish flipping through it, but you could accurately tell the contents of each page.

Look, you've done a great job, and nobody can do it better."
