Chapter 406

But Li Changheng shook his head and belittled, "What is certain is that the Viet Nam War has been difficult to continue, since it has spent 200 to 300 billion US dollars to fail to meet the expectations and goals of the United States.

In other words, this is a serious loss-making business.

A large amount of manpower and material resources have been invested in the military industry, but no return has been received. As a result, the market will inevitably enter a short period of depression.

The result of the inactive market is that the income from investing in traditional industries is definitely not as good as investing in real estate in big cities like New York and Los Angeles, as well as the stock market and other places with high returns.

Only when the land price and the stock market are fried, will the excess funds focus on promising places, but it will take time.

Moreover, there can be no policy changes in the middle, and the international situation will not continue to develop in a direction that is unfavorable to the United States.

So I can be sure that unless someone can directly spend 100 million or 200 million US dollars to buy land, build hotels, and even roads and other infrastructure.

Otherwise, if you only invest tens of millions of dollars, you will not expect to see benefits within 5 years. "

Kahn's heart suddenly floated, what this super rich bastard really said made sense.

For more than two years, I have been looking for funds everywhere, but no one is willing to invest in it.

But that's not all.

Li Changheng immediately showed a weird smile, and said under the horrified eyes of Kahn and the others, "I remember that Atlantic City is a small town directly under Camden City, right?"

The real identity is the city of Camden, not the city of Atlantic City. Kahn-Hawkeye suddenly had a headache.

As the most chaotic city in the United States, with a crime rate even higher than that of Brooklyn, New York, Camden is definitely a place that all Americans describe as hell.

Li Changheng didn't wait for Kahn to say that he had reduced the crime rate in Camden City by 60% in the past few years.

He said again, "Actually, I don't care much about Camden, after all, as long as Atlantic City is built, a lot of tax revenue means there will be a lot of police force to maintain law and order.

But what I'm most worried about is that once I put money into Atlantic City, the first thing to deal with is those small town residents who are used to being poor and will definitely be jealous. "

"Even if I put them in the hotel job, give them jobs on the beach, tourism, marina, convention center, whatever.

Do you think these townspeople would be unbalanced thinking that Atlantic City is theirs, but the money has been earned by New Yorkers or English nobles, and they jump out from time to time to make trouble? "

hell.

These words immediately moved Lauren and Taylor, and put off the idea of ​​entering Atlantic City to open up wasteland.

Because this kind of thing happened from time to time during the more than 100 years of the great development of the Midwest of the United States.

But the current law makes it impossible for capitalists to dispatch their own private armed forces to fight troublemakers as before.

In other words, what Li Changheng said will happen 100% of the time.

Thinking about it in another way, if I see capitalists making a lot of money, I will be jealous, and I will make trouble with other people and ask for more benefits.

Don't expect all jealous people to be rational, there will definitely be people who are greedy and keep asking for more.

Only when someone's investment fails and the townspeople's expectations are shattered, will they look at this issue rationally.

Li Changheng smiled and patted Kahn on the shoulder with a gloomy expression, "You need to be patient, and it will definitely be a good thing for your future to spend a few more years in governing Camden City with peace of mind.

Because being able to manage the city of Camden well is more likely to attract the attention of the media and the public than being able to manage a well-developed city like New York.

And the degree of attention is a through train for you, a serious customer in your 30s, understand? "

"Thank you," Kahn was encouraged by Li Changheng's words, and immediately regained his previous confidence. The smile on his face once again made people feel very friendly and contagious.

"Mr. Mitchell, are you interested in helping me ask the owner of the New York Giants if he is willing to sell 50% of the shares, or even sell the team to me directly?"

Holden Mitchell, who had failed to achieve his goal and had a somewhat sad expression, his eyes lit up when he heard this.

He instantly understood in his heart that Li Changheng was taking the initiative to befriend him.

After all, although the New York Giants football team moved to New Jersey across the river from Manhattan under the name of New York, the Greater New York area directly includes a small half of New Jersey.

In other words, it is actually more suitable for Noel Paled than him to be a lobbyist.

So, Holden agreed without any hesitation, "No problem, I will answer you tomorrow."

Li Changheng smiled and said thank you, then looked at volunteer Noel, who was looking at Horn a little unhappy, and said, "If I want to buy the New York Metropolitan Stadium, will I encounter obstacles from New York City?"

"Are you serious?"

Volunteer Noel not only did not feel embarrassed, but asked excitedly, "As long as you are willing to pay 50 million US dollars, I guarantee that all the volunteers in New York will stand by your side."

Li Changheng is not stupid. He learned from the old map of the Expendables that the price of the stadium is about 40 million to 45 million.

But if it is acquired, the price is only increased by less than 20%. How is this possible?

He asked with a smile, "Is there a problem here?"

"What could be the problem?"

Noel raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's nothing more than the fact that the stadium is old, and there are too few toilets and escape routes, which makes concerts and other activities reluctant to choose there.

In addition, only the football giants are willing to use the Metropolitan Stadium as their home field, resulting in a vicious circle where they cannot make ends meet and cannot be reformed if they are not well managed.

But for you, spending three to five million yuan to renovate the stadium is simply a child's play, right? "

Li Changheng was not so easy to catch, "Since this is the case, I need a permit to tear down the stadium and rebuild it.

Moreover, in the reconstruction process, New York has to provide infrastructure upgrades such as roads and stations. "

"That's going to be difficult."

Noel looked at Li Changheng with some headaches. If he just asked for a price reduction, or reduced renovation costs, it would be easy to deal with internal issues such as the stadium.

However, many of the infrastructure in the United States were built in the 1930s. Renovation is not only costly, but also involves many merchants and residents, which is a lot of trouble waiting for them.

But after Li Changheng only said the word "double".

Nuoer immediately knew that although the words were cryptic, making it difficult for people to grasp, he still knew immediately that as long as it was completed, four more franchise stores would be his own.

That is to say, there will be six franchise stores before and after, not to mention the legal income of at least 480,000 US dollars a year.

In addition, while I took the lead, I also won double benefits for other participants and volunteers. From now on, no matter whether it is an elephant or a donkey, I will owe myself a big favor.

Thinking of this, Knowlton became very motivated.
