Chapter 668

The Washington Hilton Hotel hosted over 2000 guests for the 2011 White House Correspondents' Dinner.

In the evening, in a suite at the hotel, Charles Capet held Ivanka Trump as they sat on the couch. Her voluptuous 32D figure changed shape under his hand.

"Charles," Ivanka breathed heavily, "why are we in this room instead of the banquet hall downstairs? Wasn't playing a whole evening with that Latin diva in Spain enough for you?"

Two nights ago, at the Bernabeu Stadium, news of Charles and Latin diva Shakira appearing in a private box to watch the game had reached Ivanka!

"My dear, I was just there to watch the game," Charles smiled, kissing her on the lips.

"My makeup is smudged, and I still need to go down to the banquet hall later; there are a lot of reporters downstairs," Ivanka replied helplessly.

"Tonight, can't we do as we please?"

Charles looked at his watch, "It's time, I need to meet someone!"

"Go ahead, I'll touch up my makeup and head straight to the banquet hall," Ivanka said, getting up from Charles and adjusting her half-removed gown.

...

At the top-floor suite of the Hilton Hotel, William Daley guided Charles to Hillary's meeting room.

"Good evening, Madam Secretary!"

"Charles, good evening!"

Once seated on the couch, Hillary smiled, "I heard Capet Universal is filming a political action movie about tracking down Bin Laden?"

Charles nodded, "Kathryn Bigelow, the first female Oscar-winning director, is indeed working on it!"

Hillary smiled, "Can I ask what ending you've prepared for the film? What will happen to Bin Laden?"

"Initially, he was supposed to escape, but now it's uncertain. We'll have to see how capable our Navy SEALs are."

"I see," Hillary nodded.

"Madam Secretary, what is this about?" Charles wasn't one for formalities, he didn't want to waste time.

"Perhaps we could cooperate," Hillary shrugged.

"Cooperate?" Charles chuckled, "I have many options, Madam Secretary. Just tell me what you're eyeing."

A spokesperson relying on the First Lady's name to throw her weight around couldn't impress Charles, who was now beyond the superficial benefits of Hollywood's lower-tier producers or stars.

"Capet Universal doesn't seem to have much Jewish capital," Hillary didn't beat around the bush, "And it seems you're too deeply involved with Parish Bank."

"Capet Universal is about to go public; they can buy shares directly," Charles was nonchalant. "Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway, American Investment Company, BlackRock, Vanguard Capital, Fidelity Funds, State Street Corporation, and several private investment funds all hold shares in Capet Universal. They can buy from them."

Hillary shook her head, "I'm not well-versed in finance, but don't you want to maintain a good relationship with the Federal Reserve? And you're also a major shareholder of Bank of America now, you can't avoid the Fed."

"The Fed and the Treasury," Charles smiled at Hillary, "I'll visit the Fed Headquarters tomorrow and meet them. You should know, at my level, it's not about party or ideology anymore, but personal interest. The Fed is there to serve people like us. I don't care about ethnicity; mutual assistance is beneficial for all. My investments must deliver returns!"

Hillary smiled, "Charles, interests must be mutually given. The amount you put in determines the returns you get. Otherwise, even you -"

"Otherwise?" Charles's eyes turned sharp, staring directly at Hillary, "Even me, what will happen? Don't forget who I am. Unlike some minorities, being Jewish isn't a safety net for me. To gain benefits, one has to invest. Do you think Jewish capital can overpower Anglo-Saxon capital?"

Charles stood up, "People must act according to their status. Who in finance, media, or internet industries can make me their subordinate? Remember your identity and think before you speak!"

With that, Charles left, leaving Hillary with a darkened face yet helpless. After all, as an Anglo-Saxon capital enterprise, the Capet family was making waves in the traditional Jewish strongholds of finance and media.

Jewish capital, traditionally backed by the military-industrial complex, couldn't rival the expansive Anglo-Saxon capital. The rise of the Capet family had even shaken the media world. Even without support from Anglo-Saxon capital, Charles was formidable. 

William Daley, too, didn't look pleased, glaring at Hillary, "I warned you to curb your foolish pride. When it comes to influence, Charles Capet in Los Angeles is stronger than Michael Bloomberg in New York. A long time ago, those top-tier financial groups already declared their stance. While they have an alliance with Jewish capital, the Capet family's growth stems entirely from their own abilities. Competing fairly is fine, but never entertain other thoughts."

Jewish capital had controlled Hollywood for years, but now an Anglo-Saxon financial group finally held a significant media power, and many were watching.

Hillary was just a puppet. Was she really trying to position herself as a financial powerhouse?

"He's too arrogant," Hillary fumed.

"He has the right to be," William Daley was speechless. "Just look at Capet Universal's power in the media and the women's organizations he supports! Forget it. Mr. Bernanke will meet him at the Fed Headquarters tomorrow; I'll take him there," William Daley had already sentenced Hillary. Even if Charles did nothing, Jewish capital likely wouldn't risk using her.

Moreover, William Daley now had to go and speak with Charles again - the Fed Chairman represented Jewish capital, unlike Hillary who was a minor figure.

Once Daley left, Hillary slumped on the couch, disheartened. She had intended to impress and attract more Jewish capital support. But intelligence had failed her this time!

Jewish capital did find the uncontrollable Capet Universal Group troublesome, but with backing from Bank of America, Berkshire Hathaway, State Street Corporation, Fidelity Funds, and other powerful entities, the Capet Family was already a formidable financial group. Jewish capital only succeeded by receiving meat portions shared by the Anglo-Saxon financial groups!
