Chapter 515 It's Much Easier To Destroy Than To Build

After thinking carefully with his eyes closed, Li Changheng smiled.

Maybe I can kill three birds with one stone.

Pick up the phone and call Prince Nasser of Sat.

The local tyrants in the desert at this time are not the real local tyrants who will earn 110 billion US dollars a year because of the first oil crisis in the future.

On the contrary, because the oil price has remained low all year round, Saudi Arabia only made a profit of 230 billion US dollars a year.

Moreover, in addition to the cost of mining, at least half of the money has to be used to distribute benefits to his subjects to maintain his dominance.

That is to say, the people in the desert at this time are indeed local tyrants, but they have not yet become rich enough to build cities in the desert.

What's even better is that the price of oil is slowly rising due to the rise of gold, which makes Satrah happy, but at the same time, it will definitely consider how to preserve the value of the extra income.

If a good investment project is placed in front of them, they will at least consider it carefully, or invest some money first to try it out.

Since they want to invest, polar bears definitely don't even need to think about it.

Then polar bears and bald eagles are not a good choice to fight against the fiercest Europa.

After all the calculations, there are only investments in their own country and the United States.

However, several desert wars have long left people in the desert with lingering fears, so the country of the United States, which is at the top of the world, has become the first choice.

Moreover, the future has also proved that desert people like to invest in the United States, and then live and live in London.

Li Changheng, as a super customer who has done a 100 million US dollar business with Saudi Arabia, even Nasser regretted selling so much oil to him.

So that in less than a year, Li Changheng earned at least 40 million US dollars because of the rise in oil prices.

But people rely on their real ability to make money by seeing the trend early in the morning. Even if Nasser is unwilling, he will not even answer Li Changheng's phone call.

Not to mention, if I didn't sell it myself, people from South America and the United States would definitely sell it.

Therefore, when faced with Li Changheng's invitation to go to Phuket, Nasser only said that he would report to his father, but he did not refuse.

An hour later, Li Changheng, who received the call, hung up with a smile and picked up the phone to inform Annie that Nasser would be here as a guest.

When Annie called back to London in doubt, she asked Meryl to fly over with the servants and everything needed for the formal banquet.

Li Changheng sat on a chair thinking about how to get rid of that Francis Wood.

The term of American Senators is two years, and elections begin in November of even-numbered years.

This means that Francis Wood jumped out at this time for the vote of 72 years.

And if he wanted to win votes, he had to take good care of his own vote base, that is, the group of orange farmers.

Of course, Francis’s votes are not all orange farmers, but at least half of the people in his constituency are engaged in this industry.

So basically whoever gets the support of orange farmers is a member of this constituency.

Sometimes, though, things are just that impermanent.

Europeans and Americans like to eat sweets, so when Li Changheng established Panda Restaurant, he focused on sweet and sour tastes.

If you want to get a sweet and sour taste, in addition to adding tomato sauce to the food, General Tso's chicken or sweet and sour pork tenderloin prepared with seasoning, only orange chicken nuggets are left.

The geographical location of South Carolina is just south of North Carolina, and the north of North Carolina is Virginia.

So, things are so magical.

After Li Changheng called Jim Norwell's office in New York, he quickly got the information he wanted.

There are only two orange-producing states in the United States, one is California and the other is South Carolina.

The primary reason why this is the case has to do with the climate, of course.

Oranges can be grown in many places in the United States, but the quality and sweetness are not as good as those in South Carolina and California.

The second is that mechanization has gradually begun to be widely used, which has led to the involuntary development of crop planting in various states of the United States in the direction of cost-saving intensification.

Over time, each state will have its own main agricultural products.

So Virginia, which mainly produces tomatoes, potatoes, and chickpeas, of course also has oranges.

But the quality is not as good as that in South Carolina, and the price is not superior.

So Panda Restaurant only went to the wholesale market in Richmond to buy at the beginning, but after a total of 161 restaurants were opened in Virginia and New York.

Of course, centralized procurement has a greater bargaining advantage.

Calculated based on the average daily consumption of 10 kilograms of oranges per household.

161 companies consume 600 tons a year, which is about 400,000 US dollars.

That's money that probably doesn't even account for 1% of the entire South Carolina orange production, or even 0.1% of California's.

But from another perspective, Panda Restaurant can use cost saving as an excuse.

I bought the orange orchard in South Carolina with my own money, and even if I am willing to make freshly squeezed juice, I only need to sell it at a price not higher than the market price.

Guaranteed that Americans who like to drink fresh fruit juice will increase the annual consumption of oranges in Panda Restaurant by 3 to 5 times.

4% to 6% of the production will have an impact on the entire Orange Town market.

But if it is a catering company with an annual turnover of more than 230 million U.S. dollars, and the owner is a super celebrity like Li Changheng, who comes forward to make trouble.

Even if the blow is not fatal, the impact on reputation will be great.

And once reputation is damaged, the damage will be the entire South Carolina orange industry.

In other words, whether it is those who support Francis Wood or those who did not vote for him, they will blame him for the sharp drop in sales.

However, after Li Changheng thought about it for a while, he felt that there was no need for him to directly remove a member of the public when there was room for it.

After all, if you really do this, it will be cool, but what you will gain is that you will hate yourself in the future.

And there will definitely be politicians who will cooperate more closely with the gray hand party in the southern United States.

Even if you don't talk about it, you will kill it. More than 400 volunteers in the United States, and hundreds of volunteers would think so?

So, after thinking about it for a while, he still decided to give courtesy first and then fight.

If it works well, it is absolutely possible to draw this South Carolina volunteer into his camp.

But the 'li' in his mind is already very scary to others.

When Li Changheng and Anne spent two days preparing to receive Prince Nasser.

A fax sent to him by Jim, the operation director of Panda Restaurant, together with Li Changheng's own business card, was airlifted directly to Washington.

Sent to the hands of Gerald Sanders, a New York representative.

Gerald opened the mail package, and the first thing he saw was Li Changheng's black gold business card.

Some happily put away the business card, ignored the letter, and read it directly with a note.

After reading it and thinking for more than ten seconds, Gerald still opened the two letters, immediately picked up the phone with envy and an inexplicable smile on his face, and called his secretary.
