past, present and future

“The richest person in America consults with an ordinary old man like me, and that makes me very curious and terrified.”

Valerie Biden Owens, as is known to the public, said with her mouth that she was scared, but without the slightest dread.

Of course. Contrary to her appearance as an ordinary housewife, she is a great heroine, and she is also an active activist.

Currently, he serves as vice president of the Joe Slade White Company, a Democratic-affiliated media consulting firm, and also serves as a board member of the charity Ministry of Caring.

Of course, it goes without saying that her greatest asset is the younger sister of Vice President Joe Biden of the United States.

Not just as a younger sister, but as an indispensable companion in Joe Biden’s political life, Valerie Biden has been by his brother’s side throughout his life, supporting him and helping him to the best of his ability.

Even Biden doesn’t hide that he has relied on her so much that he later mentioned her in his acceptance speech.

“I’ve heard bad things have happened to the Bidens in recent years. What happened to Mr. Beau Biden, in particular, is truly tragic.”

“thanks. He must have been very happy to hear it.”

Valerie Biden, as a leading heroine who has been involved in American politics for decades, expressed her sympathy with a less expressive face.

“Mr. Beau Biden was not the one to go. It is probably a huge loss for American politics.”

Beau Biden, who died of a brain tumor last year, is the eldest son of Democratic mogul Vice President Biden, a former Iraq War veteran who passed his bar exam and served as Delaware Attorney General, who is good enough for his background, education, and background. He was a person with high potential for political growth.

Had he been alive, he would have succeeded in his father’s footsteps and would one day run for president.

Even more so, considering that Delaware, where Eugene and his friends are now, is Biden’s political base.

“Of course, it is needless to say that the grief of the family members involved is more. But I also sincerely mourn the death of Mr. Beau Biden. So I wanted to meet you to make a small suggestion to the Bidens.”

“What kind of suggestion do you have?”

“I would like to create a foundation to commemorate the death of the late Mr. Beau Biden. To participate in research for the treatment of glioblastoma that caused it.”

“Uh… … .”

“I will bear all the donations from the foundation. I’m thinking about $100 million or so. It’s not a lot of money, but if you can help find a way to treat glioblastoma, which is particularly difficult to treat among brain tumors, it might be of some comfort to the Bidens.”

At Eugene’s blunt spit, Valerie Biden responded with a little surprise.

“When you see that 100 million dollars is not a lot of money, it makes me feel like the richest person in the world.”

“I’ve been lucky enough to call it a fortune recently, but it’s not as good as the world’s best. There are a lot of undisclosed real rich people in the world. And personally, I don’t think that having a lot of money doesn’t mean you are rich, but how you use your money properly is the criterion that determines a truly rich person.”

“You are a wonderful person. Just listening to it warms the hearts of our Bidens.”

Interestingly, the more educated and educated people pronounced Eugene’s last name correctly, while the less educated usually pronounced it Khan.

“But I still don’t know what Eugene’s intentions are. If it had been last year or early this year, it would have been easier to understand. But right now, there’s not much time left for Joe to be vice president, right? What’s more, considering Joe’s age, he doesn’t think he’ll run for president in the next generation.”

Vice President Biden, seventy-three, more than sixty-nine-year-old Donald Trump, had been told this would be his last chance if he ran for president.

Even if you run for the next election and are elected, you will only lose one year at eighty to ascend to the presidency.

It’s a difficult age for anyone to think that Biden will succeed in his presidency at such an old age.

Prior to the start of last year’s Democratic primary, support for Biden was quite high. Voices from inside and outside the country were constantly urging Biden to run for office.

However, it is known that he lost his eldest son, Beau Biden, to a brain tumor last year and no longer has the will to go into politics.

It was said that if Biden had been elected in this election, he would have been elected president by a sharp gap with Trump, but it seems that the grief at the loss of his beloved son was too great.

“I hope you didn’t think there was any intention. Please see it as an expression of mourning for the deceased Mr. Bo.”

“No one in the world is going to pay 100 million dollars for the death of someone they’ve never met. Unless his father is a very great man.”

He’s also not a nice person. Of course, Eugene did not think of her easily.

He constantly encouraged and helped fix his stuttering brother when he was young, and when his older brother, who was running for the Senate, lost his wife and daughter in a car accident and was depressed, he was by his side and supported Biden so he could continue his political career. the person who gave

From then on, she was always present in Biden’s political career.

Retiring as an elementary school teacher, he has played an important role in every campaign to help Joe Biden win the election.

A person who has been involved in politics for a long time, 45 years from 1970 to now, cannot be complacent.

“You can think of Vice President Joe Biden as not the kind of person who can sit down forever in the midst of this ordeal. Of course, that does not mean that the foundation was established for a special purpose.”

“no. It doesn’t matter if you have a special purpose. The foundation will definitely be of great help to Joe.”

Valerie said with a smile for the first time.

Rather, she knows more about politics than Eugene.

Politicians in Washington and elsewhere in the United States spend most of their time meeting nonstop people and asking for their support.

It is not easy for even the big names to come to a sponsor who says such a huge amount of 100 million dollars.

And all politicians know very well that sponsorship comes at a cost. It was like the word trust.

If you get support from someone and don’t pay the price, it will be difficult to get support from anyone else.

On the other hand, it can be seen that the price of politicians is quite generous.

If he gets a $100,000 sponsorship, he’ll be rewarded with millions or tens of millions of dollars in business when he rises to a responsible position.

It’s not like the politician’s own money goes into it anyway, so he spends his people generously when he’s in a seat.

Valerie knew Eugene had intentions, and she did not consider those intentions immoral.

“And the fact that there is someone who believes in you right now is a very good thing for Joe to get up from his wounds. But I still have questions.”

“Ask anything. I will answer you faithfully.”

“I know Eugene is a loyal friend of Trump. But why are you offering such a large sum to the Vice President of the Democratic Party, and even Joe, whose future is uncertain?”

This is the question Eugene was expecting. Trump has already been showing off his friendship with Eugene without a break.

Eugene’s actions over the past year have created a huge issue, and now it’s enough to call it a syndrome.

Trump often mentions Eugene’s name because he thought his friendship with Eugene would help his reputation, emphasizing that he was by no means a racist.

Good strangers, good people of color, good immigrants. He has used Eugene’s reputation by using controversial words.

So it’s no wonder that people consider Eugene an ardent Trump supporter.

“Donald and I are good friends. And I also want to be good friends with the Bidens.”

“It’s like they want to be the new Cork brothers.”

Valerie smiled again.

The Cork Brothers, who own Cargill and Coke Industries, which competes for the lead in US privately held companies, are big Republicans supporting the Republican Party, throwing huge sums of money every election and serving as money for the radical conservative Tea Party.

The two brothers’ fortunes are about $40 billion each, and the combined fortunes of the brothers exceed that of Bill Gates.

In fact, it can be said that they are the second richest family in the United States after the Walton family.

Moreover, as he owns a privately held company rather than a publicly traded company, the scale of political support is also unmatched by anyone else.

“The only difference is that he has a lot more money than the Cork brothers, and he tries to make friends on a much broader scale.”

Not only Valerie, but everyone in the relationship who is supported by Eugene is well aware that Eugene’s support is never free.

All of them were characters who dominated the times, so there’s no way they didn’t know that.

Eugene also has no intention of hiding it. In fact, there is no way to hide it.

Fortunately, the United States is a country where various channels of lobbying are legally recognized.

“It will be very different from the Cork brothers. I just want to say a favor to my friends. Like the Cork brothers, I have no intention of asking for a specific political policy or support for a specific business.”

“Of course you would. However, if the amount is too large, the recipient must always keep that in mind. It would be more convenient if there was something clearly desired.”

“I would appreciate it if you could just consider that a stranger is doing his best to be recognized as a member of this country.”

“I see. Because you don’t know the future. Anyway, that’s too much money to refuse. To be honest, when Eugene asked to meet, I came out with hundreds of thousands of dollars in mind. But one billion dollars. I truly believe it will be of great help for the development of glioblastoma treatment.”

Eugene’s true intentions Anyway, there was no reason for Valery to refuse.

“If a proper treatment comes out, I hope it has Bo’s name on it.”

“Joe will love it. And I will never forget the kindness of a friend.”

“And if you ever need any other help, just call me. Even if I can’t run right away, I will do my best.”

“I feel reassured just by the word.”

Valerie gracefully reached out.

“Are you really going to be as influential as the Cork brothers?”

Asked Joanna on her way back to New York.

“I have no intention of exerting any influence. But I plan to make a lot of friends who are at least free from external pressure.”

“No one will believe it, as Valerie said.”

Joanna said with a look of disbelief herself.

“That’s unavoidable.”

Of course, Eugene didn’t believe it either.

“Then next Obama?”

Joanna, who could be said to be Eugene’s closest aide, was now able to predict the next target Eugene was aiming for without difficulty.

Unlike Joe Biden, Obama has no future.

But, of course, Eugene intends to support Obama after he leaves office.

The next president, of course, and the next.

Supporting a person in power who is retiring from his position is as meaningful as supporting a future comrade.

The next person sitting there will be forced to consider the support Eugene will receive after his retirement.

It doesn’t necessarily mean the president or vice president of the United States.

It is for this reason that he offered huge salaries to the retired Justice Minister and the CIA Director.

Eugene intends to provide a suitable place for all future CIA directors to retire at the current economic intelligence center.

“If the vice president is $100 million, the president will be a lot bigger than that, right?”

“I think so.”

As Eugene knows, the foundation that Obama establishes after he leaves office is flooded with huge amounts of donations. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos is offering $100 million at a time.

So, Eugene has to offer several times more than that, so that the other person will be impressed.

“It would be burdensome for even the richest of people to spend that much every election. Of course, it will be new feet for the boss.”

“If I go out like that every time, I’ll have to earn non-stop.”

“If you buy U.S. Treasury bonds with your current assets, the interest alone is more than enough.”

“Hmm. U.S. Treasury… … How are interest rates these days?”

“It is 1.5% for 10 years.”

“Then I’ll have to take care of that for a while.”

Eugene does not have memories of all financial products. Sometimes you miss something.

As I was talking with Joanna, I remembered that when Trump is elected president, interest rates on government bonds go up quite a bit. You’ll get some pretty good returns here too.

“And while I was talking to Valerie earlier, I got a message from Monica. Trump wants a meeting with the boss. He must have had a bad voice.”

“It will. You must be quite tired by now.”

“Then do you want me to take the time?”

“no. You don’t have to. They say they make time when they go back to New York. Well… … Don’t make the car turn. Would you like to spend a few days in Florida after all?”

Eugene knows that Trump is going through one of the toughest times in his presidential campaign.

So you will want to get encouragement from anyone.

“I see. Florida isn’t bad either.”

Joanna smiled and over the intercom instructed the driver to turn the car.
