American Fortune Life

Chapter 1611: Upon Coming Up

The United States Congressional Hearing System is an important part of the political life of the United States Congress.

Specifically, it refers to public meetings of standing or specialized committees of the National Assembly on a specific issue, summoning or accepting officials, representatives of interest groups, eminent bricklayers or individual citizens, and hearing evidence and opinions from them.

By nature, Congressional hearings can be roughly divided into four categories, including the investigation xing hearings that Andy and the eight major banking institutions will be facing next.

Investigative xing hearings, on the other hand, are generally conducted on a specific issue and are usually presided over by a standing or special committee of the National Assembly.

Persons summoned by Congress must attend hearings and be questioned, otherwise they will be punished by justice. Hearings not only help Congress understand the truth, but also provide useful information for the formulation of relevant policies.

The system of hearings, on the other hand, not only enables the exchange of information between different or potential interest groups and between them and parliamentary committees, but also educates, informs and persuades citizens during hearings.

More importantly, it acts as a social security valve by mediating conflicts of interest between different groups and eliminating security risks in such “semi-sessional” hearings.

In fact, after the financial crisis, the Battle Club has appeared in Congress several times. Today's Battle is just one of them, but at the same time the nine financial giants are showing up and gaining more attention. Of course, these hearings, in addition to relieving members of parliament present and ordinary people watching television, can also reveal more or less information and increase transparency.

Manhattan, New York, cp building.

Ivana, dressed in a white bodysuit sweater, is very stylish, while also highlighting her richer and richer body, especially her increasingly stunning upper circumference, supported by a white sweater, which clearly shows the contours of the NEI sweater, but which, moreover, fills her with a seductive ripeness, while her dress shows her golden proportional slim shape. It has to be said that even if she is pregnant, Ivana remains in very good shape.

It's just that today, she looks serious and doesn't see a smile. By that time, that smiling Ivana had disappeared, and more had shifted to her role as Andy Smith's fiancée, a serious face that attached great importance to the congressional hearing that day.

Indeed, it had to be taken into account, as the hearing was an important part of the discussion on the whereabouts of federal aid funds and on remuneration and additional benefits, which had recently been criticized and challenged by one's fiancé.

“ The bad weather did not stop protests against the public's anger, and dozens of protesters outside the Capitol raised slogans and shouted insults at financial executives who had just left the car.

Diamond, the CEO of MG Chase, had been the CEO of MG Chase since 2005, with a salary of $28.8 million in 2008, and MG Chase received approximately $25 billion in assistance.

This was followed by MG Stanley CEO Machin Yong, who became CEO in 2005, giving up the prize money for the past two years and receiving $1.6 million in 2008.

Bank of Wealthy Stamper, CEO in June 2007, earned $22.9 million and was invested $25 billion in 2007.

Lewis, CEO of Bank of America, has been CEO of Bank of America since 2001, with a salary of $24.8 million in 2007, and Bank of America has now received $45 billion in government funding.

Goldman Sachs CEO Blankfein, who succeeded former Treasurer Paulson in 2006, was paid a record $70 million in 2007 and received $10 billion in government funding.

Ivana looked at the LCD screen, and every giant that appeared attached photos and background information, watching those protesters on both sides of the Capitol screaming angrily, and the look on Ivana's face became more serious.

“ Now that all the heads of the eight major banking institutions have arrived, only Infineum's chairman, Andy Smith, is missing. As we all know, executives attending today's hearings represent the nine most important financial institutions in the United States that survived the financial crisis.

Executives of companies that have collapsed or been taken over by the United States Government, such as the Lehman Brothers, the United States International Group, Premium Beauty and Premium Beauty, have not been able to attend the hearings, but have lost some of their questioning targets.

The former president of Merrill Forest Securities, Sein, who was supposed to participate, was absent because the company had been acquired by a United States bank, so that the newly acquired and integrated Intake Bank, which had received the same amount of aid, replaced the congressional inquiry. ”

NBC reporters in black coats, scarves and gloves broadcasting in the snow and wind are explaining to the American public why their big boss, Andy Smith, was at this hearing with a very xing-biased attitude.

Anyway, Andy Smith came to the hearing, and he was simply pulled together to take care of the clouds for others.

With arms around her and a serious look on her face, Ivana heard a reporter on TV reporting that her mouth was slightly raised, revealing a slight smile and owning her own tongue, which was different.

“ Coming. ”

The scene suddenly turned, pointing at the square in front of the Capitol building, eight cars drove in and stopped, the door of the black Maybach in the middle was opened by bodyguards, the crowd guards were on guard around, a black pencil slim suit, Andy Smith with a blue striped tie walked out of the car and appeared in front of all the people watching the hearing live.

Tall and handsome Andy, facing the reporters surrounded by bees, looked faint. Under the way of the bodyguards, a dozen people dressed as Wall Street elites clustered, stepped on the steps and wanted to walk to the main entrance of the Capitol.

Whether it's Ivana who smiles sweetly when she sees Andy's calm face, or Amanda Hearst, who also watches in front of the TV, pointing to the TV to make little Laura call her dad, with a little worried about Cyrus on her face, an anxious lima and other women, at this time looking at Andy in the picture, her mind is different.

“This bastard...” Looking at Andy's unexpectedly handsome face, Scarlett hasn't heard from Andy for a long time. Her eyes flashed with concern, but soon she was cursed with some shameful biting teeth.

“Step on, step on...”

Numerous but slightly messy footsteps echoed in the broad and bright Capitol Hall, and a staff member saw Andy Smith's slightly ‘huge' formation, first slightly stunned, but quickly smiled and greeted him, shaking hands and then led Andy to the hearing site.

The staff in the Capitol are a little more focused on Andy Smith. After all, only Andy Smith brought more than five of the nine people to the fight today. Well, on a count of about 30 bodyguards.

Especially with the group around Andy Smith, wearing a high-definition dark striped suit with waxed hair, a top pocket stacked handkerchief, a faceless face, each carrying a black briefcase of Wall Street elite dressing.

It's no secret that Andy Smith is surrounded by a very powerful think tank, and many people have guessed that this group of people should be, a lot of people face to face, looking at Andy Smith, it definitely doesn't look like he's here to pretend that his grandson is being fought, but rather like he's here to fight.

Nima, it's a good show!

When the entrance to the hearing hall was pushed open, it was a little noisy, sitting in a hall full of people, everyone looked to Andy Smith in the front, and the people behind him, likewise, received a lot of attention, and many people had a thought on their faces.

At the front of the red table with nine chairs, eight people were already sitting in serious jeopardy. The eight brothers stood up and shook his hand with a smile when they saw Andy's arrival. After all, everyone was an ally on the front at this time, especially Lewis of Bank of America, and Andy came in a very friendly hug and whispered a few chilly words.

And the congressman sitting at the height looked at all of this, one with a glimmer of vision, and some with a fierce glimmer of light, like the wolf staring at Andy Smith and the other eight, ready to humiliate them for a while.

“Knock knock! ”

The president of the hearing knocked twice on the hammer and the venue became quiet. The other eight bosses sat down. Andy nodded with a smile and the president of the hearing nodded and sat in a very handsome chair.

“Look, you're like the masters of the universe, and it's not easy for you to take time for a hearing.” California Donkey Party Rep. Watas looked at the CEOs sitting at the long table in alphabetical order, staring at Andy Smith, ironically.

“No, we're just cosmic pawns. You're the Senate of the Galactic Republic, the master of the galaxy!” Andy looked at the female member of parliament with no expression, a serious response.

“Pfft -”

“Oh... ”

The scene of the original serious hearing was suddenly replaced by a smile and a slight laugh. The people in front of the TV looked at an authentic, nonsense Andy Smith, and laughed back and forth.

“Knock knock! ”

The chairman of the hearing had a slightly blackened hammer twice, stopped the theft at the scene, first stared hard at Andy Smith, and then glanced angrily at the provocative woman congresswoman.

The other eight financial giants all nodded their heads and Andy nodded. Andy pretended to be a pair. Why are you looking at me like that? What did I do? The way it looks, makes the audience in front of the TV even more crying.

“Note that Senate of the Galactic Republic is the galactic parliament in Star Wars, while the Supreme Speaker of the galactic parliament is an evil Sith. ”
