I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 830 The Waves Rush and Flow!
Twitter went public in 2013.

A total of 70 million shares were issued at an issue price of $26 per share. On the first day of trading, the price reached $44.94, approaching $45.

Liu Jin sold his shares for 2.5 billion, which is definitely a loss!

Moreover, they suffered significant losses.

But he didn't care about that.

For him, having a trusted partner in America and Europe is far more important than two billion.

Besides, we wouldn't actually lose that much.

In fact, apart from the more than $700 million (nearly $800 million) spent to acquire the 15% stake held by Accel Partners, the rest of Liu Jin's shares totaled less than $200 million.

In other words, the total cost of his Twitter shares was less than one billion.

Now that he's sold it for 2.5 billion, he's made at least 1.5 billion in profit.

At the same time, we also gained an ally!
No matter how you look at it, it's worth it.

……

Musk's flight was at 5 o'clock, but he left the club at 3 o'clock.

Liu Jin then drove away.

That evening, he booked the entire top floor of the Empire State Building and spent a very romantic Valentine's Day with Alizee.

The next morning, his phone was ringing off the hook.

It was Eva calling, angrily asking him why he hadn't informed her when he arrived in America and instead secretly spent time alone with Alizee.

"How did you know?"

"It's been reported in the newspapers..."

Liu Jin gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"I'm not telling you, hehe, it's your own fault for wanting to be a strong woman."

“Jacotai, you have no martial virtue.”

"A little bit!"

Alizee snatched the phone and started arguing with Eva.

They actually have a good relationship, but they've gotten into a habit of bickering whenever they meet.

Liu Jin smiled and got up to wash up.

Just then, the landline in the bedroom rang.

"Liu Jin, answer the phone!"

"Isn't the phone right next to you?"

"I'm arguing with Eva."

Liu Jin walked out of the bathroom and picked up the receiver.

Amos, you're in New York?

“Mr. Watts? Yes, I arrived in New York the day before yesterday.”

How long will you stay in New York?

"I'm going to Seattle the day after tomorrow."

"To Seattle?"

"My novel 'Halo' was acquired by a game studio owned by Microsoft. When Mr. Bill Gates heard about it, he wanted to meet me... We made an appointment to meet at The Golf Club at Newcastle the day after tomorrow."

"The Golf Club at Newcastle in Mount Rainier, Seattle?"

"Yes!"

"That's a real pity, I have an important meeting the day after tomorrow."

What are the plans after that?

"No, uh, I'm going to Las Vegas on the 23rd to watch a championship match."

It'll most likely be a direct trip from Seattle to Las Vegas... I can cancel that plan if you need it.

"Need not."

Blumenthal paused for a moment and then said, "After you've seen Bill, how about you go back to New York?"
I'll be traveling to New York on the 19th, and I'd like to meet with you then to discuss something… If you don't have time, we can meet in Las Vegas. Although I'd prefer West Palm Beach, I've been incredibly busy lately.”

"I'll go back to New York."

"Okay, I'll have my secretary send the schedule to your email later."

"Okay, see you then."

Liu Jin hung up the phone.

Alizee's voice could be heard from the terrace.

However, she had switched to speaking French, at an incredibly fast pace, and with the distinctive accent of Ajaccio, Corsica.

I guess Eva has also switched to French.

The two were arguing back and forth, laughing and joking, but it sounded a bit heated!
At times like this, Liu Jin would never get involved.

He returned to the bathroom and continued washing up.

When I returned to the bedroom, Alizee had already ended the call and was lying in bed.

Did you win the argument?

"Of course, that Parisian is no match for me."

Liu Jin was about to make a joke when the phone rang again.

He stepped forward and picked up the phone.

It's an unknown number.

Look at the area code, 808? Where is this phone number from?

"This is Amos..."

“Hey, Amos, I’m Tulsi Gabad.”

Liu Jin was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately.

He glanced at Alizee furtively and saw her lying on the bed, engrossed in playing with her phone, seemingly sending messages.

"Hey, Tulsi, long time no see. How have you been?"

Alizee turned to look at Liu Jin, then waved for him to go to the terrace to talk, so as not to disturb her conversation with others.

Liu Jin went along with it and went to the terrace.

"You left a message saying you went to KWT, when did you come back?"

"I came back the year before last."

Tulsi's voice was slightly hoarse as he said, "I am currently the chairman of the Honolulu City Council and am preparing to run for a seat in the House of Representatives this year."

She spoke concisely and clearly, just as always.

Liu Jin smiled slightly, already understanding her meaning.

"I have arranged to meet Mr. Blumenthal in New York on the 19th. I was wondering if you have time?"

Tursi fell silent!

After a moment, she said in a deep voice, "If it's not too much of a disturbance..."

"Then I'll book a hotel for you. When are you coming?"

"I'm still in Honolulu, my flight tonight is to Virginia."

I'll be arriving in New York on the 18th, so you don't need to book a hotel for me..."

"OK, I'll book the Waldorf Astoria in Manhattan for you."

"I told you, I don't need you..."

"That's all for now. Remember to contact me once you get to New York."

Liu Jin hung up the phone before Tulsi could refute him.

Tursi went to KWT in 08 and has not been in contact with Liu Jin since.

Her return to America and her appointment as chair of the TXS city council indicate that she intends to pursue a political career.

What is Tang Pu doing now?

Liu Jin didn't pay much attention.

His idea was simply to stay away from that guy.

That guy has no bottom line!

The closer you are, the more dangerous it is...

But Tursi can still help out.

She was a member of the Communist Party, while Blumenthal was a veteran of the Communist Party.

Tulsi may leave the MZ party and join the GH party in the future... but that's not important. What's important is that she can gain more connections through Blumenthal. If she wants to run for a seat in the House of Representatives, then we'll push for that from behind.

As for how to help...

Of course, we'll help with money!
In Liu Jin's memory, Tulsi was 100% certain to become a member of the House of Representatives this year, and would be re-elected for three terms thereafter.

Even her withdrawal from the Communist Party did not shake her position as a member of parliament.

What does this mean?
This indicates that there is a force behind her pushing things forward.

Liu Jin could vaguely guess what kind of power she would be given in the future.

This force is very powerful!
However, this also constrained the development of Tulsi.

Therefore, Liu Jin hoped to expand her network through Blumenthal.

Will it work or not?

If she's willing to come to New York, it means she's willing to accept Liu Jin's help.

With Tulsi by his side, Liu Jin felt that his future had gained another layer of security.

……

The following day, Liu Jin and Alizee flew to Seattle.

However, after arriving in Seattle, Alizee did not disembark but instead boarded a plane and flew directly to Los Angeles.

She wanted to show off to Eva.

Liu Jin stayed in Seattle for a day and then went to a golf course at the foot of Mount Rainier the next day, where he met Bill GZ.

He has read Bill's autobiography!

After all, Bill was still in school when he became famous.

Back then, Bill was his idol.

The Golf Club at Newcastle is touted as the best golf course in Seattle.

It covers an area of ​​350 hectares and is a 36-hole golf course.

It blends lavender, cornflower and other flowers, which complement the fir and pine trees.

In the distance, you can see Lake Washington, Mount Rainier, and the Seattle skyline...

The fairways are complex, with short holes and fortified greens, making it extremely challenging and also quite entertaining.

GZ contacted him, but they didn't discuss anything.

We just chatted, talked about literature, and then played a game.

It was very easy and natural.

But Liu Jin knew in his heart that this was a test and a trial.

After the game, the two had a meal at the club and talked about things related to China.

GZ has a good understanding of China and attaches great importance to it.

Liu Jin even felt that his understanding of China far exceeded that of himself.

Of course, some things are only superficial...

He appeared gentle and approachable.

But Liu Jin also knew in his heart that this guy was also a shrewd and insightful old fox.

He wields extraordinary influence not only in the business world but also in politics…

On the surface, no sensitive topics were discussed.

But in reality, they secretly engaged in several verbal exchanges.

GZ then headed to Portland, while Liu Jin went to the airport to take a private plane back to New York.

Even with a private jet, I still felt exhausted.

Because Alizee flew to Los Angeles, and Genevieve went with her, Liu Jin was the only person at 76-78 Parry Street that night.

The house, spanning over a thousand square meters, was completely empty.

If he weren't so tired and didn't want to move, Liu Jin would have even considered moving to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. The apartment is nice, but it needs someone to live there…

……

In the middle of the night, the doorbell rang.

Liu Jin came downstairs in his pajamas, carrying a sprayer in his hand.

This is America...

Even though Parry Street is safe and Liu Jin has to donate $200,000 to the West Village Police Department every year, he still can't let his guard down.

Who knows if some trolls will break in in the middle of the night?

Carrying a gun makes me feel safer.

The door opened, and a woman was standing outside.

"Tursun?"

The moment Liu Jin recognized who it was, Tulsi rushed into the house and threw himself into his arms.

Liu Jin instinctively threw the gun aside, put his arm around Tulsi, and closed the door behind him.

The last time I held her like this was in 06!
Without thinking much, Liu Jin picked up Tulsi and hugged him tightly before stepping into the elevator.

……

"Why did you come here?"

"It's nothing. After getting off the plane, I suddenly thought I'd like to come see you."

"Is it still very appealing to you?"

"You've gotten much worse than before!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin flew into a rage.

You can say I've become ugly, but you can't say I'm bad!

"Really? I was just warming up. The match officially begins now!"

As he spoke, he pinned Tulsi down beneath him.

……

Tursi is thirty-one years old this year, which is a good age.

But Liu Jin has never stopped practicing the Rejuvenation Pill and the Rejuvenation Exercise over the years.

I'd never even heard of tiger bone wine before.

Despite being six years older than Tulsi, he is still full of energy.

After three fierce battles, the New York skyline began to lighten slightly, and the two men finally stopped fighting.

How did you know I was home alone?

"Hehe, don't forget what I do."

"Speaking of which, what exactly did you do at KWT before?"

“Help them train the National Guard.”

"Instructor!"

"So, are you scared?"

"Am I afraid?"

Tursi took the cigarette from Liu Jin's mouth and took a puff.

He suddenly said softly, "Amos, be careful with your words when you make phone calls or communicate in the future."

Liu Jin glanced at her and smiled.

"Wouldn't you consider this leaking information?"

"I didn't say anything... I just told you to be careful."

Actually, having reached your current position, you should be aware of some things. I'm merely adding icing on the cake.

"By the way, are you confident about running for president this year?"

Tursi glanced at Liu Jin and said, "If we have the support of a major investor like you, our chances of success will be even greater."

Will this affect you?

There will be a little, but not a lot.

Our relationship isn't exactly a secret... and you're a perfectly innocent guy, not some big shot at all."

"I'm not a big shot?"

"Haha, he's someone who can be considered a figure, but not a very big one."

"Woman, I'll show you just how big I really am..."

4S is exploding again!

……

Tursi did not go to the Waldorf Hotel.

Instead, they stayed at 76 Parry Street for a whole day.

The following day, she and Liu Jin went to the Waldorf Hotel and met Blumenthal.

Blumenthal was somewhat surprised by the arrival of this rising star of the MZ Party.

He warmly received Liu Jin and Tursi, and then took Liu Jin to the reception room for an hour-long conversation.

Do you know her background?

"I can probably guess."

"Then you still..."

Tursi's background is not popular in America, and he is even disliked by many.

Liu Jin laughed and said, "With her here, shouldn't I feel more at ease?"

Blumenthal stared at Liu Jin for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

"As long as you can grasp the right measure, that's fine!"

He then extended an invitation to Liu Jin, inviting him to join an organization.

It's the organization that uses the eyeball as its identifier.

In his view, Liu Jin was already qualified to join.

Liu Jin did not refuse and agreed on the spot!
This pleased Blumenthal greatly, and he immediately told Liu Jin to keep a low profile, as there would be some more tests to come.

If Liu Jin were to join, he certainly wouldn't be at Yang Ziqiong's level.

His wealth, demonstrated abilities, and current influence all suggest that once he joins, he will be at a very high level.

"I will let you know once you pass the test."

"Don't tell me you want me to be a JD..." Liu Jin joked, "I've lived in Europe for many years and know nothing about China."

"Ha, no one would let a billionaire become a JD."

We just hope that you can stand with us on certain issues.

"I'll try my best!"

Liu Jin did not show any particular excitement, and his answer was lukewarm.

The two then left the meeting room.

Blumenthal then invited the two to lunch, where he gave Tulsi a lot of sound advice.

In the afternoon, Blumenthal was to fly back to Washington.

And Tulsi will also be returning to Honolulu...

As they were about to part, she suddenly asked Liu Jin if he was interested in investing in Honolulu.

"What investment opportunities are there in Honolulu? I have absolutely no interest in the sugar and food industries."

"Princeville Airlines, interested?"

"Oh?"

"It is an airline based in Honolulu, mainly responsible for regional flights within the Hawaiian Islands, covering islands such as Oahu and Maui... It is not large in scale, but it is of great significance to the whole of Hawaii."

However, since 06, the business has not been doing very well.

They're looking for a new buyer... I'm just inquiring, and if you're interested, I can help make the connections.

If she saves the airline, it will give her more influence in Honolulu and even Hawaii.

Liu Jin thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Help me buy an estate in Honolulu."

"You want to settle in Hawaii?"

"I just want to find a place to vacation."

As for Princeville Airlines, I need to do some research.

You know, I'm not familiar with the aviation industry and don't know much about it... and I'm Chinese. Would America allow a Chinese citizen like me to have domestic routes operating in your country?

"The entirety of America is definitely unlikely."

But Hawaii, yes!

"You want to run for governor of Hawaii?"

"My current qualifications are certainly not enough, but in the future..."

Tursi whispered in Liu Jin's ear.

Liu Jin admitted that he was a little tempted!
……

However, Liu Jin really needs to seriously consider this matter.

(In the original timeline, Princeville Airlines was acquired by Oracle in 13.)

After seeing Tulsi off, Liu Jin returned to Parry Street.

He first hired a housekeeping company to clean the room, having fought more than a dozen battles with Tulsi, leaving too many traces.

The body needs to be disposed of to cover up the crime!
It must be admitted that this girl is indeed very strong in combat.

If Liu Jin hadn't been sufficiently skilled, he might have lost to her.

After the housekeeping company finished cleaning, he filled the rooftop pool with water and swam back and forth in the nearly fifty-square-meter pool. One lap, two laps... Joining the Eye Organization, Liu Jin wasn't too resistant.

Since he's going to be out there having fun, some things are unavoidable.

Especially his current net worth...

I reckon it's already become a target for some people.

He needs a stronger backing to protect him.

Anyway, I'll take the benefits, but as for obligations... This is America. When I have enough wealth, obligations are none of my concern.

But keep a low profile!

Tursi had given this warning.

Blumenthal also issued this warning.

This shows that someone is indeed plotting something...

Security must be further strengthened, and a more professional team is needed.

With that thought in mind, Liu Jin got out of the pool, wrapped himself in a towel, sat on a rattan chair, and then opened the app on his phone to activate Dania.

• Find a reliable security team, with preference given to those with a Chinese background.

At the same time, strengthen information protection for me, as well as Alizee, Eva, AA, Mela, and Chloe. If malicious information is discovered, issue an alert immediately.

Press Enter!

This app looks a bit like WhatsApp, but it's actually software designed by Verena that connects directly to Dania.

Liu Jin put his phone on the table and lay down on the rattan chair.

I kind of miss the days when I was a plagiarist, writing all sorts of things...

Although they don't have much wealth, they are very content.

Unlike now, when we are always on edge, walking on thin ice.

This doesn't seem like the life I wanted. To be reborn and still have to go through so much trouble, isn't it a waste of my rebirth?

No way, I'm going to keep having fun!

Liu Jin suddenly stood up from the rattan chair, about to clench his fist and shout loudly.

The phone suddenly rang.

He picked up his phone, only to see Charlize Theron's name appear on the screen, and couldn't help but laugh.

Look, the wave is coming!
