"Why Columbia University?" Mike thought for a moment. He could still find a way to go to Columbia University, but he still wanted to make sure. After all, it was related to his future.

"A key figure is involved here, Thomas John Watson, the general manager of IBM and the former director of Morgan Trust. He is very influential in the American financial industry. He is also a director of Columbia University. He personally formulated this plan. , and has been recognized by the leader of the Rockefeller Group, Aldrich, chairman of Chase Bank, and Perkins, chairman of Equitable Life Insurance Company." Shen Long introduced.

"If nothing unexpected happens, Eisenhower will announce his retirement in February next year, enter Columbia University, and successfully obtain civilian status." In the United States, military representatives cannot run for election, and retiring and switching to civilian employment is a necessary means to enter politics.

"If you are interested, I will take you to meet someone." This person is the Rockefeller executive he met in the cafe near the Rockefeller Building on the day Shen Long assassinated Bassini. That person did not see him that day and killed Bassini by himself. , the two of them have continued to exchange letters since then, exchanging some views on international finance and economics. The other party has repeatedly expressed solicitation intentions, "This person does not know my identity and has no relationship with the family."

"I'm very interested, but will my identity be an obstacle to entering politics?" Mike had almost been convinced by Shen Long, leaving only his last worry.

"Don't worry about this. Americans like the prodigal son's character setting very much. You have never been involved in family affairs before, and you have been admitted to college, and you have actively joined the army, and won medals on the battlefield. If you do it properly, your family will not only It won't be an obstacle for you to enter politics, it will be a bonus!" Think about it, if there is a child from a black area in the future, his whole family is involved in gangs, but he works hard to get into college. I believe many politicians will Willing to use him as a good card.

"And you are a descendant of immigrants. This shows that you are trying your best to integrate into this country. World War II led to a great increase in the number of immigrants in the United States. Your joining will help the Eisenhower team win votes from immigrant groups!" As long as they can't find Mike to participate! Conclusive evidence of gangsterism is not a problem.

"Fredo, I think you are more suitable for this than me. If you were replaced by me, maybe you would be a senator in a few years!" Mike was impressed by this analysis.

"I didn't go to college, and I'm not an American hero." Shen Long shrugged. He had no interest in serving as a U.S. senator. It would be better to remain a gangster.

"Okay, that's it. You can take me around for a walk, and then call Kai and let's have dinner together." Shen Long knew that such a big thing needed to be carefully considered, so he didn't rush Mike.

He visited Dartmouth University for three days. Three days later, Mike agreed to his invitation and came to New York with Shen Long. Instead of returning to his home in Long Beach, he found a hotel near the Rockefeller Building to stay.

Shen Long made an appointment to meet with the Rockefeller executive at the hotel. He didn't have to wait long before the business elite named George Thomond came. As soon as they met, he began to praise Shen Long, "When you were fighting in the cafe, The judgment of the final situation is being realized one by one, your vision is really too sharp."

"Thank you very much for your compliment. This is my brother Mike. He just graduated from Dartmouth University this year. I would like to ask you to give him a chance." Shen Long introduced Mike to him.

"No problem, Nelson is also a Dartmouth graduate. He must have a lot to say to you." George agreed readily. It is a common practice in upper class society for these business elites to give each other's children and relatives opportunities, and the Nelson he spoke of was The third-generation boss of the Rockefeller family. Coincidentally, he is also very keen on politics and will become the vice president in the future.

"Mike, what are you studying? Which institutions do you want to join? Banks, securities firms or other companies?" George asked. These opportunities are very rare for students with ordinary backgrounds, but for people like him, it is just a sentence. That's all, the information Shen Long disclosed in the letter earlier is definitely worth this favor.

"I majored in sociology in college. I participated in World War II and entered Dartmouth University after retiring." Mike simply stated his information.

"I don't want Mike to go to banks or brokerages. I don't mean to offend, but if I want Mike to go to these places, I can do it myself." The Corleone family also controls several banks. Shen Long looked at it with a smile. George, "Mike won many medals in World War II and was on the cover of USA Today magazine. Don't you think that such a person is very suitable to go to Columbia University and serve as an assistant to Mr. Eisenhower?"

"Hey, Fredo, you are really well-informed!" George was shocked. Currently, only the top executives of major consortiums knew about this plan. He didn't expect to hear it from an outsider.

"Everyone is very optimistic about General Eisenhower, right? After all, his policies are in our interests." Shen Long shrugged, "General Eisenhower has never been to university, and having him serve as the president of the university may arouse the resentment of many professors. For this reason I am willing to help Columbia University raise donations. I know you are not short of money, but it is not easy to make donations too obviously, right? I can find many people to donate to Columbia University."

This is also an exchange of interests. Shen Long solves problems for Eisenhower or the consortium that supports him, and they lead Mike into politics.

"The content of the conversation in this meeting is different from what I thought, but it is indeed a very attractive suggestion." George calmed down and began to slowly discuss the details of the plan with Shen Long. Shen Long entered the task The world has carefully studied the campaign strategies of several U.S. presidents at this stage, and George admired the views he put forward.

"We will investigate Mike's background information later. If everything is as you said, we are willing to cooperate with you." George said before leaving.

"I'm waiting for your good news." Shen Long is not worried about them finding out about Mike's background. These consortiums are not moral models. They only care about their own interests, and I believe they can also think of how to use this identity to make a fuss.
