Chapter 650: Group Fight

After Li Changheng changed his previous style and started to contact strangers.

In an instant, many people wished to kneel directly at his and Annie's feet.

However, Li Changheng, who is very purposeful, is polite and talkative, and at the same time, he does not make friends with everyone.

It has nothing to do with his business, and if the content of the conversation does not interest him, he will be squeezed away in a minute or two at most.

Those women who were obviously coming towards him couldn't even get close to him.

Only politicians, businessmen, or heirs with a long-standing family and considerable influence in New York who are on the rise, will be talked about by him and become the envy of most people at the ball.

And his actions quickly made some caring people feel thoughtful and even uneasy.

Fortunately, Li Changheng also understands the truth that too much is too late.

The content of the conversation was all related to sports, food and drink, and high-tech business, so as not to further deepen the conflict between myself and the congressmen in New York and New Jersey.

Moreover, Li Changheng also understood in his heart that the purpose of these new acquaintances is not pure to approach him, and it is even more impossible to make real friends.

I use them to put pressure on politicians in New York and New Jersey. These newcomers are nothing more than using him as a banknote cash machine.

The only people who surprised Li Changheng were probably Councilor Francis Wood and his wife Claire Wood.

During the whole dance, the one who made Annie take the initiative and chatted for more than ten minutes without intending to end the chat was Claire, a woman who was not very beautiful, but very heroic.

However, when he thought that this woman would not only help her husband run for president in the future, but also become a strong woman who ran for president herself, Li Changheng became closer to the Woods and his wife.

Of course, after going back today, Li Changheng will definitely remind Annie a few words, to make her be careful, and at the same time prevent Annie from feeling that he is interfering in her making friends.

Seeing that the two women turned the topic to charity foundations again, Li Changheng smiled and clinked glasses with Francis, and blinked at him meaningfully.

Then he took the initiative to talk about the semiconductor industry, chatted with Francis for ten minutes, patted his arm, and then took Annie to chat with other guests.

And Francis is a smart person who knows how to seize opportunities. Needless to say, Li Changhengming said, this guy is in Washington for various discussions and voting between the two parties at the end of the year in only 3 days.

When facing the media, he casually said that island companies are suspected of unfair competition in semiconductors.

A knowledgeable reporter thought about it for a while, and realized that Francis was talking about Intel's electronic calculators, as well as the memory and central processing units of other American companies, which were forced by the island country to have extremely low profits.

Some MPs took the initiative to provoke trouble, and the media certainly would not miss this opportunity.

Moreover, a large number of lobbying companies in Washington are fanning the flames behind the scenes.

Because these people know very well that as long as they report something unfavorable to the island country, they will soon receive a large amount of public relations and lobbying fees from the island country.

First, the media in Washington, which reported heavily on the low-end semiconductor industry, has already been occupied by 40% of the market share by island companies using low-price strategies.

Then, the major media in the United States followed up.

However, the islanders are not slow to set up a public relations department based in Washington, New York and California.

Within three days, there were reports in the media not only emphasizing the important role of the island nation in curbing the red polar bear.

There are also reports that companies from island countries have created tens of thousands of jobs for the United States and paid more than $500 million in taxes every year.

It's a pity that Francis is not alone in targeting them this time.

In order to ask for policies for the travel company they established, 43 congressmen from New York and New Jersey then put forward a proposal in Congress to establish a review committee.

When the islanders spent a lot of energy and money, before they figured out the reason, a company called American International Travel submitted an application for international business to the island country, and some people took the initiative to hint.

Only then did the islanders react.

Immediately, this travel company not only obtained great preferential policies in the island country, but also secretly monopolized 60% of the business of tourists traveling to the United States in the three cities of Tokyo, Osaka, and Yokohama.

In just half a month, under the explicit or covert guidance of the media and officials of the island countries, the number of people traveling to the United States from the island countries has increased by 10%.

In addition to going to New York and California, these wealthy islanders are not surprisingly more interested in Las Vegas.

The arrival of a large number of tourists not only stimulated the casinos and hotels in Las Vegas, but also made Inoue, an island American who saw an opportunity, wish he could immediately lure tourists to the Caesars Hotel.

And in the next ten days, Frank realized for the first time what it means to have nothing to do, and the money will fly by itself, the excitement and satisfaction that you have to accept.

Then he thought proudly, fortunately, he asked the three shareholders to increase the capital of the investment company in advance, one month earlier, before the travel company emerged.

It took the first step to win the contracts of all slot machines in two other large casino hotels and three medium-sized hotels.

Otherwise, don't mention missing out at this time, there will be five or even ten competitors in a short time.

When the 1,800 slot machines leased from 6 casino hotels were sub-leased to more than 1,000 islanders, this matter was selectively revealed by Frank.

As soon as the newspaper published that Belford Investment Company, the 1,800 slot machines alone can generate an annual revenue of 58.8 million U.S. dollars.

Even because it was Frank who broke the news on his own initiative, the secret that the investment company used to rent these 1,800 machines was 24 million US dollars was used as a "informed person" to report it.

In just a few days, Belford Investment Company has become a big fat in the eyes of Wall Street, and its valuation has skyrocketed from 200 million US dollars to 500 million US dollars.

Frank Abagnale, a 21-year-old junior at Columbia University and an intern on Wall Street for half a year, soon became a genius and billionaire in the eyes of the media and the public.

When countless reporters and women wanted to interview and get close to Frank, Li Changheng was happy in his heart at the Links Stadium in Southampton Township, Long Island.

Play golf with Las Vegas, which smells of money, and rich people from island countries.

People from Las Vegas will come, Li Changheng is not surprised at all, after all, Frank and himself have made so many troubles, which doubled the business of Lujia's slot machine.

But the contract was signed for another 10 years, and the beneficiary behind it was Henry Lee. It is impossible for the six hotels that suffered dark losses to turn their faces without even talking about it.

Not to mention, the slot machine profits of more than 20 to 30 million US dollars a year, where there is an unknown investment company with a market value of 500 million US dollars in just a few months is attractive.
