Chapter 762: Chapter 382: Senate Voting Begins
“Ms. Ivanka, please convey to your father that I warmly welcome his arrival and hope he makes the right choice soon!”
Just as Ivanka was about to leave, David suddenly called out to her.
He had invited Ivanka to sit in as an observer, wishing to demonstrate his strength to her family through this meeting.
After all, the former President and his family were certainly worth courting!
“Of course, Chief Inspector David, I will relay your message.”
Ivanka responded and then turned to leave with Jafede.
...
Once they were downstairs and in their car, Jafede could no longer contain himself and asked, “Ivanka, if we could get a slice of those companies, it would be quite a score for our family. I think we should persuade father, especially since David’s power is not to be underestimated now.”
“What are you thinking? Sure, it’s a big cake, but look at who you’re competing with—those are major families from various states!”
“If we clash with them over this, what about the 2024 Presidential Election?”
“You know we’re not on good terms with The Big Three Groups, and we might need the support of these families when the time comes. Are you willing to trade greater gains for these immediate profits?”
Ivanka had already been displeased with the statement her husband had made publicly, and now hearing such questioning only fueled her ire, and she lashed out angrily.
Jafede shrank back a little from the scolding.
But still thinking of the huge profits those companies could bring, he couldn’t let it go and continued, “I think we don’t need to curry favor with those families anymore. As long as we have David’s support, we have a great chance in the ’24 election!”
He did have a point, actually.
The people at the meeting, though they were from influential state families, were clearly held in David’s grasp.
If they chose to side with David and gained his support, what use would they have for those so-called influential state families?
“Enough, Jafede. Don’t be fooled by David’s current prominence. The Big Three Groups are no pushovers, and he hasn’t won the ‘war’ yet. Father’s decision to stay neutral and observe for now is correct. Don’t say anything more, as securing the Presidency again is our family’s top priority at this stage!”
“Well… Okay.”
Jafede was still frustrated, but seeing Ivanka’s stance, he didn’t dare push further.
Ivanka, on the other hand, turned her head away, disgust evident in her eyes.
Strictly speaking, Jafede was not her ideal partner; their marriage had been arranged by her father.
He had thought that marrying her off to Jafede would benefit her and her family’s business.
But overtime, it became clear that her son-in-law was all bark and no bite.
Aside from a bit of business acumen, he was essentially clueless about strategy and politics.
For instance, today’s matter should have been about reclaiming the Presidency and forming good relations with influential state families. Yet, Jafede was blinded by profit.
Wasn’t this missing the forest for the trees?
And then there was David.
At a young age, he had gained control over influential state families, Senators, Congressmen, and was wielding great power in Congress, even putting Freemasonry under pressure. This was the mark of a true leader!
In comparison, her husband fell far short, focused on petty gains—hardly the making of a great man!
…
At the same time, in a sedan that had just left the hotel.
“Uncle, this is our family’s chance to rise a level. We must seize it!”
In the car, Goda said to a man in his fifties.
What he meant was, of course, the matter of acquiring the companies.
The Big Three Groups held nearly all of America’s well-known companies like Gugo, Microsoft, Apple, etc.
Of course, even if the legal changes led to upheavals at these companies, they might not have the strength to take them over, but they held some confidence in acquiring companies at the level of News Corporation.
“Don’t worry. If it really comes to that, I will definitely persuade the other family members to reallocate the capital!”
The man called Uncle by Goda looked equally determined.
At the same time, the major families leaving the hotel were discussing the potential acquisition of the large companies with their own family members.
…
Time flew, and six days passed in the blink of an eye.
On the surface, there seemed to be little disturbance, but beneath it all, there was a strong undercurrent.

The Big Three Groups’ strategy of “burning money” was still effective over these few days.
After all, money is, in a sense, all-powerful!
According to the investigations and statistics from the Internal Revenue Service, at least ten or twenty Senators were significantly disrupted by The Big Three Groups’ spending strategy.
