Chapter 414
The Olympic Games at this time are not in the future from 1984 to 2000, as long as they are held, they are equal to making money and enhancing the popularity of a country.
Therefore, since no one cared about the proposal, no one would know in advance that people like Noel would rush to propose a motion to inspect the safety of old stadiums in New York.
After the bill was officially passed with 17 votes, only 2 votes more.
Not only were everyone in stadiums big and small in New York dumbfounded, but the Martell family quickly understood that this proposal was specifically aimed at them.
Even if the other stadiums are old, as long as the team can at least have some income, it will be simple or overhauled every ten or eight years.
Therefore, if you want to muddle through, you can always find a reasonable explanation.
But for the Martell Stadium, don’t expect how good the stadium built in the 1930s would be, let alone the equipment that was antique more than 20 years ago.
Just by collecting tickets, at most, after maintaining the wages of the workers, they can earn another 70,000 to 80,000 US dollars a year.
Therefore, in the past ten years or so, the Martell family has never thought about the issue of renovation, and only wanted to sell the stadium for a good price, so they took the opportunity to get rid of this burden.
This is also when people like Noel and Horton came to them, and the Maltai family agreed to sell them or obtain the shares of Panda Restaurant in the form of a share exchange without even thinking about it.
What's more, the conditions they agreed to Nuoer, Holden and others were not to allow them to spend money to buy the shares of Panda Restaurant from the Maltai family.
Instead, they directly took out 20% of the acquired shares and secretly gave them to Nuoer and others.
If Li Changheng didn't take the initiative to take out 15% of the original shares of the restaurant and sell them to the franchisees at an internal price of 70% before the restaurant's listing, things might be very troublesome.
But now that there is an opportunity to obtain shares openly and aboveboard, very few people will take the risk of accepting money that should not be taken.
Moreover, Li Changheng also said very clearly, and it is fair to determine how many shares everyone can buy based on the ratio of each franchisee's future turnover to all franchisees.
Since you can make money standing up, of course no one is willing to kneel and take risks to beg others.
Therefore, no matter how the Maltai family discussed with Noel, Horton, and at least 15 volunteers.
This group of people is determined to build the Maltai Stadium.
Moreover, their requirements are not excessive, and are more in line with procedures and reality.
It is for you to remodel and renovate the stadium so that the kids in Kings Point can be more comfortable and safe when they hold baseball and football games.
As soon as this kind of reform opinion comes out, no one can find the slightest problem.
But for the Maltai family, spending at least 1 million US dollars to renovate is to throw money directly into the water.
Because there is always a return on investment, no one will do business if you can’t make money and can’t get back your capital.
It's just a renovation, a stadium that big, in addition to providing a better and safer outdoor activity venue for the children and residents of Kings Point Town.
It can't attract well-known teams to settle in, and regard the stadium as the team's home court.
Or if the band comes to hold a concert, it will not be able to increase ticket revenue.
Investing a million dollars would definitely be a loss-making business.
And if they invest millions, or demolish and rebuild, it doesn't matter whether they have so much spare money.
No one knows what methods and titles this group of big shots in New York City will use to find fault.
If the main business of the Maltai family is targeted, and they really find a legal entry point, then it is not capitalists influencing and controlling politicians.
It was politicians who killed the Maltai family as pigs.
Just three days later, Noel and Holden came to the door again with smiles.
"Henry, this is New York Assemblyman Gerald Sanders."
Noel smiled and introduced a young man who was at most 40 years old to Li Changheng, and then pointed to another person who should be around 50 years old and continued.
"This is Jonny O'Connor, a fellow of New Jersey, and they're definitely the elephant and the donkey, the most promising young stars in New York and New Jersey."
Li Changheng smiled, "Elephants and donkeys are competitors, but now it seems that they attack each other when they have different interests."
When the interests are the same, they can immediately drink and chat together, and fight for the funder's father together.
Li Changheng, who has dealt with so many politicians and generals in the United States.
Soon, newcomers Johnny O'Connor and Gerald Sanders felt like a spring breeze.
He can also vaguely feel that the young man in front of him is strong and not lacking in concessions, and it is easier to listen to useful suggestions for him.
Moreover, it is true that the media dug deep and broke the news that he is a true genius.
No matter what, I can chat with you, and I can remember anything I have heard or seen.
The two newly joined members of the House of Justice quickly dispelled their worries before coming here.
This kind of funder definitely knows how to strengthen cooperation and avoid mutual differences better than those rich people with hundreds or tens of millions of net worth.
The next day, Li Changheng's lawyer negotiated the contract with the Maltai family.
Sign the contract, pay 22 million U.S. dollars, and the stadium is behind his name.
Among the 27 tenants of Li Changheng's stores in Manhattan, 16 tenants whose lease terms were all within half a year soon received notices to evict them.
Then, in Queens, and in Nassau County between Queens and Long Island, 30 more stores were bought.
Compared with Manhattan, the stores in these two places are much cheaper.
Only 6 million, each about 200,000 US dollars.
A promise to Senators Knoll, Holden, and the 15 volunteers who helped and contributed.
Franchise rights for 4 volunteers and 2 panda restaurants for public volunteers.
30+8, plus the 4 previously promised to Knoll and Horton.
In other words, in one or two months, there will be 42 panda restaurants in New York, which will open one after another.
Soon, four experienced supervisors from the semi-finished product processing plant of Virginia Panda Restaurant were transferred to New York.
Fortunately, Annie's management team has seen the operation for more than a year, and Li Changheng has not only determined his own rights and positions.
So the three astronauts, Jim, Jack, and Fred, who were fine because the private jet was still under construction, were sent as supervisors.
However, in this way, all the money in his bank account in the United States was spent, and he had to use the 170 million U.S. dollars in cash in UBS as a guarantee to borrow a lot from UBS.
Fortunately, calculators are still on the rise at this time.
In addition, Prince Nasser of the local tyrant country, after receiving 20,000 calculators and sending them out.
An order of 100,000 units was soon provided to Intel.
In addition, the crude oil shipped to England is paid for upon arrival.
Therefore, Li Changheng’s US$170 million in the headquarters of UBS in Zurich does not have to be the same as that paid to Citigroup, Mobil and Luo Fei Petroleum.
At the crude oil storage warehouse in Oklahoma, after submitting the crude oil storage slip to his lawyer, he had to pay 150 million US dollars.
