People in the Republic of China era began to rise from industry.

Thorsen left the Plaza Hotel excitedly with the money in his hand.

In addition to the 100,000 yuan reward, there is also 200,000 yuan in activity expenses.

This amount of money is certainly not enough to get someone into the position of senator.

But now Lin Yi only needs to eliminate one of the three candidates.

The rest will naturally be handled by the Pengust family, who will pave the way for the Harrichus.

Even getting rid of one of the candidates only requires him to get the process started.

As for what will happen next, he believes that the Pengust family's rivals will definitely take the initiative to push them forward.

Achieving the greatest benefit with the least cost... Lin Yi wrote it down in his diary.

This is definitely a classic business case of achieving great success with minimal investment.

If I fail to ascend to the throne of the Emperor Emeritus of the United States when I write my own biography, I will definitely include it...

For the next period of time, Lin Yi became busy again.

In addition to continuing his drinking spree with Tony Pengest, he also met with several important figures in the Pengest family.

Including his uncle, Jim Pengster, a major financial backer of the Missouri Democratic Party.

The two sides had a very pleasant conversation.

Considering that Lin Yi had helped increase the value of Xinca's stock by a staggering 300 million US dollars, Jim agreed to help Lin Yi find an investment opportunity in the sale of Missouri Standard Oil in the state government.

Lin Yi had overheard Tony mentioning this matter casually.

Ten years ago, Standard Oil was broken up into thirty-seven regional oil companies due to antitrust laws.

Missouri was fortunate enough to be assigned one.

The state government bought out the controlling stake, while the remaining shares were taken by other companies.

However, ten years later, the development of local oil companies in the thirty-seven regions is extremely uneven.

More than half of them have already been acquired due to poor management.

Standard Oil in Missouri is now in decline.

It's already on the market, ready to be sold at any time.

This is a rare opportunity.

Lin Yi didn't care about making a profit; he only cared about whether he could get a ticket to the game.

He spent a whole week in Jefferson City preparing for this, doing thorough research and preparations...

After returning to Yorktown, he visited each of the people he had met at the charity ball that night.

Another thing we did was to discuss three to three years of advertising space cooperation with several major newspapers in York City.

They spent a lot of money to book most of it.

He received a telegram from China a few days ago.

Fenghua Textile Equipment Factory's production line orders are still growing rapidly.

According to the telegram, this was because the first few production lines delivered were put into operation one after another.

As it turns out, Feng Hua's textile production line was not exaggerating when it came to improving production efficiency.

This is undoubtedly the best advertisement for the sales of Fenghua Textile's production lines.

It's a foregone conclusion that the entire textile industry will regain the domestic market.

The next thing to consider is exports.

While ensuring a certain profit margin, they dump products at low prices to expand sales volume.

This will increase employment opportunities and cultivate consumption power.

Therefore, in the next phase, his business strategy in the United States will focus on promoting Chinese manufacturing.

Start with textiles and gradually delve deeper.

Of course, this is only one layer of the plan.

A deeper consideration was to first use this incident to build a "sugar daddy" image and cultivate a close relationship with the American newspaper industry.

Then, create opportunities to get involved in this industry.

Now that politics has begun, it's absolutely essential to have a propaganda mouthpiece under your own control.

There were also some minor setbacks along the way.

Two American police officers made things difficult for him because of his skin color. They stopped his car halfway and took him to the police station for questioning, intending to extort money from this outsider.

As a result, the two lost their jobs that very day, realizing what the true truth is—in the face of money, even bullets lose speed.

Carrier from New Jersey also understood this truth.

It only took half a month.

His Carrier Engineering company experienced a series of upheavals, including the departure of all its technical staff, the breakup of its partners, and the resignation of ordinary employees.

The entire engineering company came to a standstill.

In the end, it was one of his partners who started the business with him who quietly confessed to him.

I told him the reason.

It wasn't that their friendship had ended; it was simply that Fengyun had given them too much.

He worked at Carrier Engineering for ten years, and the equity he held was only valued at 200,000.

Not only did the other party buy his shares, but they also gave him $300,000 as a settling-in allowance and invited him to serve as the chief engineer at Fengyun Manufacturing in York City.

Moreover, the annual salary is $20,000, and there will be stock options if the business is successful in the future.

He really couldn't withstand such a powerful financial offensive.

At first, Carrier was furious for two days because of this truth.

But thinking about the losses he would face if he couldn't complete the order on time, he finally lowered his head and took the train to Yorktown.

A ten-dollar tip was given to the pretty receptionist to call Lin Yi's room.

Before long, Lin Yi's translator led him to Lin Yi's room.

“Mr. Carrier, I thought you would come to visit me two days ago.”

Carrier entered, wearing a bathrobe. Lin Yi, who was pouring wine, greeted him with a smile.

Then, after putting down the bottle, he asked, "Would you like a drink?"

"No thanks."

Kaili spoke somewhat awkwardly, as if she had lost her parents.

He then said, "Mr. Lin, I've come to apologize to you."

"These past few days, I've actually been regretting the hurt I caused you that day."

"I am very sorry for my rudeness."

"Please forgive me."

Lin Yi chuckled: "Mr. Carrier, do you know why there are police in this world?"

Carrier: "???"

Lin Yi took a swig of wine, gulped it down twice, and then spat it back out.

I just woke up, and this was just for brushing my teeth.

Ah Sheng, with his keen eye, reached out and took the wine glass from his hand.

This action left Carrier, who was somewhat bewildered, completely bewildered.

He recognized the bottle; it was Macallan whisky from England, each bottle costing a fortune.

And this person actually used this expensive liquor to rinse their mouth. What kind of status must they have?

Carrier was shocked.

Feeling much better in his mouth, Lin Yi then told him the answer to his question: "Because 'sorry' didn't work!"

“All mistakes need to be punished; that’s the fairest thing to do.”

"Do you understand what I mean?"

With his head spinning and his legs feeling weak, Kaili took a deep breath before asking, "Sir, what do I need to do to earn your forgiveness?"

"It's simple. I spent about 1.5 million to get you to show up in front of me on your own initiative."

"Find a way to return this money to me, and I will forgive your rudeness."

"Otherwise, this is just the beginning."

"Because you can't fulfill the orders according to the contract, I'm sure you'll be sued into bankruptcy."

I don't even talk about being gentle, kind, respectful, frugal, or modest back in the country.

Now that you're all preparing to be emperors above all others, how could you possibly put up with the nonsense of a little karaomi like you?!
