America is in control

Chapter 170 The Dog with Broken Spine and the Wolf Lying on the Barbecue Grill (4K5)

How can I show myself to be clean without being deliberate?

How could Cass be so angry that he even took the initiative to reveal what happened at the dinner to thank the sponsor?

Liu Jiang's mind was racing and he suddenly thought of a somewhat sinister way.

He quietly nudged Yang Zhiyuan next to him with his elbow, waiting for the other person to turn his head and look over.

Liu Jiang leaned into the other party's ear and teased Cass in a very low voice.

"Cass acted quite like that when he was in front of us. He looked like he had a lot of money and a lot of money."

"But compared to the real big guys, he is just a loser!"

"Apart from being tough-talking and giggling, he doesn't have any other abilities!"

When Yang Zhiyuan heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and he laughed out loud.

This laughter successfully attracted Cass's attention, and he locked his eyes on the two of them.

Because Jerry Yang is a technical genius and the founder of Yahoo, it is not easy for Cass to criticize him.

As for the remaining one, he had nothing to worry about, so he vented all his anger on General Liu.

"You damn third-rate boxer, what are you muttering about there? Who allowed you to put on such a face?"

"Don't you have amnesia? When Frank and I forced you to sell your Yahoo shares, you were not like this!"

"When Frank and I forced you to drink a large glass of strong liquor, you were not like this!"

"When Frank and I forced you to pass on Yahoo's internal information to us, you still didn't act like that!"

"God Damn It! Who allowed you to watch my joke! FXXK YOU!"

Cass' long-suppressed anger finally broke out completely, and he yelled at General Liu.

"Come on! Cass, you are far less important than you think!"

"The reason why I drank that glass of strong wine was not because of you!"

"You are just a hypocritical coward hiding behind my back. You don't even dare to look me in the eye."

Liu Jiang's back straightened up even more, he raised his head slightly and looked at Cass with contempt.

Since the other party took the initiative to reveal what happened at the dinner to thank the sponsor, he also directly named Frank.

Then he has no use value to himself now. If he doesn't humiliate him now, he will wait until later.

Anyway, we’ve already lost our skin, so I’ll stop pretending and show off my cards!
Cass was about to explode with anger at General Liu's three-point contempt and seven-point disdain.

He pointed at General Liu's nose, his mouth opened wide, and he couldn't say a word for a while.

Yahoo's shareholders were also extremely surprised, and their eyes glanced back and forth at the two men.

"John, has Cass used off-board moves against you before?"

Moritz's originally proud face was suddenly filled with clouds, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Uh! Mr. Moritz, except for that glass of strong wine, they didn't succeed!"

Liu Jiang pretended to hesitate, which was a disguised confirmation of the matter.

"That Frank is the new whip of the majority party in the House of Representatives, right? How did you get involved with him?"

Moritz continued to ask, his tone seemed a bit harsh.

"I donated a few small sums of money to him before and asked him to help solve some problems."

Carefully considering his words, Liu Jiang quietly observed the other party's expression.

"Did you call me out of the blue that night because Frank wanted to force you to sell your Yahoo shares?"

Moritz was very thoughtful and could figure out the general outline of the matter through limited clues.

"Mr. Moritz, intimidated by your reputation, he finally chose to retreat."

Seeing that the other party had guessed his little trick, General Liu turned around and gave him a loud slap on the back.

Moritz fell into deep thought, and he thought about this incident in conjunction with everything that had happened during this period.

It seems that Liu Jiang did not betray Yahoo. The other party first warned Yang Zhiyuan in a lame way.

Later, he firmly opposed the acquisition of America Online and showed his attitude with real follow-up investment.

In addition, during this period, Cass was running into obstacles like a headless chicken, and even broke through the defense at the press conference.

If someone had given him a message, he would never have behaved so badly.

Thinking of this, Moritz made a judgment in his mind. General Liu probably didn't tell lies, and he was still trustworthy.

The cloud on his face dissipated a little, and Moritz warned General Liu.

"John, if you encounter something like this related to Yahoo in the future, you'd better not hide anything."

Liu Jiang felt happy. It seemed that the other party did not intend to pursue the matter further, so he got through the matter in a muddle.

He immediately nodded solemnly towards Moritz and said with confidence.

"I promise, there won't be a next time!"

Moritz looked deeply at General Liu without making any response, and then turned to look at Cass.

"Cass, your methods have gone too far. Do you want to start an all-out war?"

His meaning was very clear, business competition was business competition, but Cass took the lead in breaking the rules and used politicians to suppress General Liu.

This also means that the intensity of competition between the two parties can rise to another level at any time.

Moritz must confirm Cass's true intentions and threaten him.

Cass, who had some recollection, knew that he had made a mistake, and his face suddenly became a little ugly.

He was filled with regrets and pretended to be calm, but in fact he wanted to slap himself in the face.

Cass had no intention of revealing such a shady matter, but he was so angry that he couldn't speak at all.

Fortunately now, he was forced to the edge of the cliff by Moritz.

As for an all-out war with Sequoia Capital? No need to think about it!
As long as he dares to express this intention on the board of directors of America Online, those directors will definitely vote to oust him as CEO.

There is no other good way now but to give in temporarily and make plans later.

"Mr. Moritz, I was just joking with this kid!"

"I really want to buy his Yahoo shares, but the occasion may not be very appropriate."

"America Online has no plans to start a full-scale war with Sequoia Capital! Mr. Moritz, please forgive my presumption!"

Cass casually gave a reason and explained it. He bowed his head slightly towards Moritz to show that he had surrendered.

The moment he buried his head, his eyes were filled with resentment, like a vicious flame burning rapidly.

When Cass raised his head again, his face had returned to calm, and even had a somewhat flattering smile on his face.

Moritz's deep gaze stayed on the other person's face for a long time before he nodded slowly.

He didn't want to waste any more words with the other party, so he waved his hand and told Cass to get out of here.

This time, Cass behaved quite meekly. He turned around neatly with a smile on his face.

The moment he turned around, his eyes inadvertently stayed on General Liu for a moment.

Liu Jiang noticed the other party's gaze, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a sneer on his face.

Looking at Cass's leaving figure, he didn't know how happy he felt!

Poor kid! You have today too! It doesn’t feel good to be threatened!
The way you ran away looked like a dog with a broken back!
Isn't it just revenge? I'm always waiting for you!
You'd better hurry up, otherwise I'm afraid you won't be able to muster the courage by then!

"John, be careful lately, Cass is not a person who gives up easily."

"Thank you, Mr. Moritz, I will be more vigilant!"

At the dinner, General Liu chatted absentmindedly with the guests around him. Most of his attention was always on the door of the banquet hall, where Liu General was waiting for the arrival of the wolf couple.

Claire asked herself to help her get two invitations to the banquet, probably because of Frank's instruction.

Frank had a vague idea of ​​what he was thinking. Didn't he just want to take the opportunity to get in touch with Michael Moritz?
snort! I'm not careful about my appetite, and I'm not afraid of bursting my stomach!

I had already lit a fire for Frank through Cass, and the other party took the initiative to lie down on the grill.

Now it depends on how Moritz will embarrass this politician who is involved in the business competition between the two parties.

Suddenly, a loving couple with deep love appeared at the door of the banquet hall.

Frank is wearing a dark blue suit, a light blue shirt, and a sky blue tie around his neck, which looks very layered.

He had a standard smile, his hairstyle looked quite impressive, and he looked energetic.

Claire was wearing a black halter-neck evening dress and had the same short blond hair as last time, looking extremely sharp.

The material of the evening dress seems to be silk, which looks smooth, delicate and full of texture.

The black gauze randomly wrapped around the jade arm vaguely brings people endless reverie.

The evening dress has a high slit, with two-thirds of the thigh exposed, creating a sharp contrast between black and white.

Black strappy high heels, bow-like uppers, and toenails painted in jade color give people an evil feeling.

The smooth and beautiful back and the curves of the legs that appear and disappear attracted the attention of countless guests at the scene.

Claire held Frank's hand and walked towards the center of the banquet hall with a smile, where all Yahoo's shareholders were.

When she saw the upright figure with the back of an ape and the waist of a wasp, Claire's eyes flashed with light.

Liu Jiang has long seen this perfectly matched model couple, and he admires their acting skills from the bottom of his heart.

Needless to say, Frank's acting skills have been perfected by his more than ten years of career as a politician.

But Claire seems to be a born movie queen, she is obviously so crazy in the bathroom.

But once she appears in public, she acts like a dignified and good wife.

This huge gap in perception had a huge impact on General Liu.

He couldn't help but twitch his index finger, eager to be a thief again!
Frank also saw General Liu and said hello to him.

When General Liu saw this, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face. He didn't seem to be at all abnormal.

"John, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that Yahoo has successfully blocked the acquisition of America Online?"

Frank smiled and asked General Liu for information as if nothing had happened.

"Hello, Mr. Francis. You look in great spirits!"

"Yes, Mr. Moritz led us to victory, and Yahoo will not be swallowed up by America Online."

“Not only that, we also welcomed a powerful new shareholder, Mr. Masayoshi Son of SoftBank.”

Liu Jiang looked calm and looked as usual as he answered the other party's questions calmly.

"John, it was just a misunderstanding last time. We are still friends, right? You should just call me Frank!"

"Can you introduce Mr. Moritz to me? I would like to get to know him."

"About the misunderstanding last time, you didn't tell Mr. Moritz, right?"

Reaching out and patting General Liu's shoulder, Frank explained in a perfunctory manner.

The purpose of his coming this time was completely exposed, and he actually wanted General Liu to help him connect.

How shameless! Liu Jiang cursed secretly in his heart, but the expression on his face did not change at all.

"Of course, Frank. As long as you consider me a friend, I will value our friendship immensely."

"Of course there is no problem in introducing you to Mr. Moritz. It's just that there is some unpleasantness between Mr. Moritz and Mr. Cass."

"I didn't say a word about the misunderstanding last time, but Mr. Cass told a lot about what happened before."

General Liu pretended to express his stance while laying an ambush in advance, and at the same time he also used a divorce plan.

After listening to what the other party said, Frank's brows furrowed and he stared at General Liu suspiciously.

It seems that he wants to find a flaw in the other person's face.

However, General Liu's expression management was also quite good. He looked at Frank calmly.

Their eyes collided between the two of them several times, and finally Frank withdrew his scrutinizing gaze.

He couldn't find any clues on the opponent's face.

Frank's heart beat, now that Moritz already knew everything that had happened before.

Then do I still need to meet with the other party?
After hesitating for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

After all, Frank would never be willing to fight for a top resource like Moritz.

"John, take me there! I will explain everything to Mr. Moritz!"

Liu Jiang nodded towards each other, turned around and led the couple towards Moritz.

Moritz was holding a glass of wine and was chatting happily with Son, with a cheerful smile on his face.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two people's conversation, Liu Jiang interjected.

"Mr. Moritz, Mr. Son, I have a friend who I would like to meet you."

Moritz turned around slowly and looked at General Liu curiously.

General Liu returned a rather helpless look and introduced him sideways.

"This is Francis Underwood, the Honorable House Majority Whip."

"This is his wife, Claire Underwood, director of the Clean Water Project."

Then General Liu introduced Moritz and Masayoshi Son to the Underwoods.

When the two sides connected and started talking.

He quickly stepped aside, hiding in the blind spot of the three men's sight, and quietly gave Claire a wink, telling her not to stay here.

Based on Liu's knowledge of Moritz, he will definitely make things difficult for Frank.

This is of course a good thing, but if it affects Claire, it will not be good if it affects Cao's plan later.

Claire didn't pay attention to General Liu's eyes. She still smiled and talked with the two big guys.

Upon seeing this, General Liu could only sneak quietly to a distance of about ten paces from the four people and listen to their conversation.

After a while, Frank seemed to be discussing something more in-depth with the two big guys.

He patted Claire's shoulder gently and asked her to leave here first.

A trace of extremely obscure dissatisfaction flashed in Claire's eyes, after saying hello to the two bosses.

She turned around and left the center of the banquet hall with graceful steps.

Liu Jiang felt happy, put down the dinner plate in his hand, and followed quietly.

Claire came to a round table, picked up a glass of champagne, and drank it in one gulp.

Liu Jiang quietly came to her side and rear, and after observing for a while, he confirmed that no one around her had noticed.

He put his mouth behind the other person's ear and whispered softly.

"Ms. Claire, have you prepared my favorite gift?"

When Claire heard this, her delicate body trembled slightly, a few wisps of red clouds crept up her ears, and a low-pitched voice sounded.

"John, what do you think of my outer packaging?"
