People like Frank never care where the money comes from.

Two 100-degree magnesium dollars are placed on the table. Who knows which Franklin is clean and which Franklin is dirty?

The more dirty money, the key is what the money is used for. Frank never had psychological barriers in this regard, and naturally he would not care whether the money comes from the country of magnesium or the country of shark.

Frank was very satisfied with Li Rui's attitude and said happily: "Your generosity will save countless lives! I thank you for the people of Fizhou!"

The donation matter was negotiated like this, and Li Rui only needed to pay for the money, and Frank would naturally handle the rest.

Frank reminded: "This donation can be tax-deductible, don't forget to tell your accountant. I think the projects you invest in in Magnesium should pay a lot of taxes every year, right?"

It is a reminder, but it is actually a test.

Li Rui understood Frank's meaning and began to talk about some investments in the country of magnesium. Of course, those particularly critical investments were not revealed. These politicians were people in front of each other and were ghosts behind them. Now, when they were friends, they could turn into vampires and could not believe them at all.

Even though Li Rui concealed something, Frank was still shocked by Li Rui's investment projects, and he praised him repeatedly, and even regretted that he had just lost something. If he wanted 5 million magnesium, Li Rui should have agreed easily, right?

A moment later, the phone rang on the desk suddenly, and Frank apologized and went over to answer the phone.

After receiving the phone, he thought for a while and said, "Do you want to go to the next door with me for a drink? I will introduce you to some friends. If you do business in Magnesium Country, it will be beneficial to know more friends."

Li Rui knew that this was Frank trying to lead himself into the circle, perhaps it was just a very shallow and peripheral circle, but it also meant that he had finally gained the trust of the Underwood couple, which was a good start.

"I am very honored that I really hope to make more friends in the country of magnesium." Li Rui said.

Frank said: "Just downstairs, come with me."

The two walked out the door, and several bodyguards immediately followed.

Li Rui thought to himself, no wonder everyone wants to be a big shot. This feeling of stars placing the moon is really good.

Fu Shande also wanted to keep up, so Frank whispered a few words to the people around him, and a bodyguard went over and led Fu Shande away politely.

Li Rui made a gesture to Lao Fu that he didn't have to worry, thinking that it wasn't me who broke the bridge across the river. If you want to blame Frank, be careful.

On the way downstairs, Frank said: "The guest I'll meet later is Pete Russell, from Pennsylvania. He is a new member of our donkey party. He... prefers drinking, so you'd better have a little alcohol tolerance."

There is a private bar downstairs, and a hunched figure sitting on the bar counter, drinking alone.

Frank took Li Rui over and greeted, "Hi, Pete!"

The man turned around, holding a cup in his hand. Judging from the color of the liquid in the cup, it must be a strong wine. As for whether it was rum or whiskey, Li Rui didn't know much about it.

This person is Pete Russell, from Binzhou, a member of Congress in the House of Representatives. His hair is slightly bald, his face is haggard and his eyes are straight, which is completely different from the spirit of the congressman Li Rui imagined!

Russell grinned at first, and when his eyes fell on Li Rui, he showed a look of surprise: "Yazhou people?"

Frank introduced: "Peter, this is Rui Li from Huaguo. He is a generous entrepreneur who just donated 3 million magnesium to Claire's water purification program."

"Haha, the people of Huaguo have many generous philanthropists, and they like to donate money." Russell laughed and then reached out to Li Rui, "Don't donate money to New York and Los Angeles next time, and don't donate it to Claire, if you

There are many poor people in Pennsylvania who need money very much!”

Li Rui shook hands with him gently and smiled and said, "Mr. Russell is really good at joking. If I go to Pennsylvania, I will definitely not donate money, but invest to provide you with more employment opportunities."

Russell said: "Frank, have you heard that? The country of Magnesium has fallen to the point where people need to provide jobs. This is the consequence of your economic policies!"

Frank coughed lightly and said, "Peter, you've drunk too much!"

Russell said: "No, no, no, I only had one drink. I can have another drink with you."

Frank sat down and snapped his fingers at the bartender: "Brandy."

Then he said, "I won't talk about business today."

Russell raised his glass and drank the remaining wine in one go, then called the bartender to fill it up again, and then said, "When are you going to solve the problem of the shipyard? Do I have to go to Washington, sit down in your office, and give it to you

Do you show the situation of the workers? They can't afford rent, medical insurance, children's tuition, or even food expenses. Many of them voted for me last year, and I promised to

Solve the problem for them, but now I can only watch them suffer! Frank, I can't wait any longer!"

Frank said: "Peter, you have to understand my difficulties..."

They argued.

Li Rui couldn't get involved in their topic, so he gently savored it with a glass of rum.

What Li Rui needs to consider is why Frank brought him to see Russell. This is not a coincidence, and it must be of any purpose.

The more Russell said, the more excited he was, the more he drank, and after drinking a few drinks, he said with a flushing face: "If you don't solve the problem of the shipyard, I will not vote for the bill to raise the debt!"

Frank said coldly: "You are drunk!"

"I'm not drunk!" Russell shook his head, "Frank, stop forcing me to lie anymore. You haven't seen their eyes. If you have seen their eyes, you can't lie. I can't give them false hope anymore

!”

He almost cried.

Frank said: "I'll send you back and have a good sleep. We'll call you when you wake up tomorrow."

"I can go back by myself." Russell shook his head, "If you still say this tomorrow, I will make you regret it."

He said as he got up and walked out in a crooked manner.

Frank kept staring at his back and watched him leave.

Li Rui always felt that Frank's eyes were not concerned, but a kind of...indescribable cold.

"He drank too much wine, is it okay?" Li Rui asked.

Frank smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "If there is a problem, it is his own problem, not ours. Don't worry about him, let's have another drink?"

Li Rui left the club at two o'clock in the morning.

In the car, Fu Shande didn't ask what Li Rui and Frank were talking about. As a broker, he knew his identity very well.

"Go to the hotel or go back to your house?" Fu Shande asked.

"Go home..." Li Rui let out a long sigh, feeling his brain hurt.

It's easier to deal with businessmen...
