Yang Jing shrugged and said, "Actually, I don't really like this kind of occasion, so I rarely hold cocktail parties. But this time I bought a property here, so I have to get to know the neighbors around here."
"Then I look forward to your invitation. Come on, Cole, let me introduce you to some friends. This is Ed Koch, our mayor." Hearst III said, pointing to the muscular white man.
"This is my good friend David Dinkins." This is the black man.
"As for this person, you must have heard of his name, John Gutfreund, chairman of Salomon Brothers." This is the tall and thin middle-aged man.
"Guys, this is Mr. Cole Smith, the chairman of the famous KY Investment Fund, and my current neighbor."
Yang Jing smiled and shook hands with the three men one by one, chatting with them for a while.
John Gutfreund is the head of Salomon Brothers, a very powerful figure. In the 1980s, neither Goldman Sachs nor Morgan Stanley was as good as Salomon Brothers, which was the top investment bank in the United States at that time.
Ed Koch is the current mayor of New York City, and this is his second term as mayor of New York City. There are some interesting rumors about Ed Koch, such as the mayor of the world's largest city's favorite food is Chinese cuisine, and he also has a very down-to-earth Chinese name - Guo Dehua!
As for David Dinkins, although he is not very famous now, he will be very famous in a year and a half because he will replace Ed Koch and become the new mayor of New York City.
However, David Dinkins had a very bad reputation during his term.
This guy is a black man. When he became the mayor of New York, he not only did not bring any political reforms to New York, but also let African Americans roam the streets. African American (that is, black) drug addicts roamed in Brooklyn and Manhattan from Harlem and the Bronx. Robberies were everywhere on the streets. People were sometimes afraid to go out on the streets. The slogan was "Escape from New York".
The four years he governed New York were hailed as "the darkest period in New York."
If someone who doesn't know the situation sees these four people playing together, it would indeed seem a little weird. However, those who know Hearst III know why these four people get together.
The Hearst family is a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party. Both Ed Koch and David Dinkins are Democrats, and John Gutfreund is also a staunch supporter of the Democratic Party.
Now that Ed Koch's term as mayor of New York City is coming to an end, these people must be getting together to discuss how to get the Democratic Party to win the mayoral seat of New York City again.
If nothing unexpected happens, David Dinkins will defeat his opponent in next year's New York City mayoral election and eventually become the new mayor of New York City.
If you consider it from this perspective, it is not surprising that four people get together to play ball on this weekend morning.
Of course, to the other three, Hearst III, this guy who looked too handsome was actually a tycoon who was unfathomable and could not be offended. The war between the Boston Consortium and the KY Investment Fund, which was causing a lot of controversy, was said to be led by this guy.
The most crucial thing is that the deeply rooted and wealthy Boston consortium could only barely protect itself and had no ability to fight back under the attack of the KY Investment Fund. This is really shocking.
Whether it is Salomon Brothers or the Hearst family, although they are both top investment banks and families in the United States, they themselves know that what they have cannot be compared with the Boston consortium.
The Boston Financial Group was beaten to the point of being unable to fight back by the man in front of them, so they were even worse off. Therefore, the man in front of them could only be befriended and absolutely could not be offended...
