Chapter 595 How Can There Be Friends in the Capital World
After Daofeng walked in with Kahn, Li Changheng smiled and stretched out his hand. Kahn held his hand with a humble expression and said.
"My lord, it is an honor to have your invitation, my wife, six children and I are all Giants fans.
Today's game must be won by the Giants. "
If the whole family are fans, Li Changheng really believes it.
Not only all of New York and New Jersey, but also the Giants, a football team.
And in the era of lack of entertainment, the father is a fan, and it is easy to train the children to become fans.
But it was a little surprising that he showed such a low profile.
Moreover, Li Changheng was already thoughtful, and he immediately felt in his heart that when he was scheming against Kahn, he was also planning to get something from him.
He patted Kahn on the shoulder, "Don't be so polite, we are old friends."
Hearing Li Changheng said that the two are friends, the smile on Kahn's face became even brighter.
Sitting in the viewing seats in the private room, Kahn said with emotion, "If you hadn't persuaded me two years ago to calm down and put all my energy on changing the chaotic status quo in Camden City.
Maybe I am not qualified to meet you today, let alone have the achievements I have now. "
Li Changheng smiled and waved his hands, "Whether a person can be successful depends on friends and external forces.
But in the end, it's up to you.
You can become a famous star mayor throughout the United States, relying on your own hard work, personal ability, and that natural affinity. "
Kahn smiled, and happily accepted Li Changheng's compliment,
"Thanks, thanks, buddy, can I just call you Henry?"
Li Changheng smiled and nodded, but he had a feeling in his heart that this guy might have drifted away.
Kahn leaned a little between the two of them, and asked in a low voice, "There must be something wrong with me, as long as I can do it, I promise to help you."
Li Changheng frowned, he really didn't expect Kahn to be so direct.
For a while, I couldn't guess whether the other party was really willing to help, or if he was pretending to be enthusiastic and wanted to talk to himself.
"I heard that you built a gaming hotel in Camden City?"
"That hotel has nothing to say, it has been operating half-dead."
After speaking, Kahn smiled, with a clear expression on his face, "It seems that you have really changed your mind?"
Of course Li Changheng understood what 'changed his mind' meant.
Two years ago, when Kahn met with himself under the introduction of New Jersey Senator Horton Mitchell, he talked about rebuilding Atlantic City.
But at that time, I directly refused, so now when I find Kahn, the other party can easily guess that it is about Atlantic City.
That's why I asked Li Changheng if he really changed his mind.
Knowing that Kahn couldn't be fooled by this matter, Li Changheng didn't answer directly.
Instead, he smiled and said, "I'm curious, you are the mayor of Camden, and Atlantic City is more than 300 kilometers away from Camden, which is already beyond your jurisdiction.
Where do you have the right to take care of this? "
Kahn's expression became serious after hearing this, and he thought for a moment and said, "Among all the cities in New Jersey, the two places with the most troubles and problems are Camden and Atlantic City.
Atlantic City is the best location after all of New Jersey has been allowed to open up the gaming industry.
I want to manage a city that was once glorious but now in decline, or find someone with a strong wrist to forcefully subdue the local forces.
Otherwise, you can only find someone like me who is good at dealing with low-level people.
Now that it is the 1970s, cowboy management methods are likely to arouse more contradictions.
So I have always held the position of executive chairman of the state construction committee approved by the state legislature. "
Only then did Li Changheng nod his head. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the mayor of a city hundreds of kilometers away should raise funds for another city.
Then Kahn sighed and continued, "This position is said to be in charge of the construction of the entire state, but in fact everyone knows it, except for the reconstruction of Camden and Atlantic City.
Not to mention pointing fingers at other counties and cities, even if I want to intervene in a residential road managed by the state government, people will ignore me.
And in the past two years, if I hadn't made some achievements in Camden City, maybe I would have been kicked out of the stage long ago. "
Speaking of this, Kahn said with a grateful look on his face again, "So Henry, I must thank you, as a friend,,."
Kahn subconsciously looked out of the private room, cautiously stretched out his hand to cover his mouth and whispered, "Based on what I have investigated and learned over the past few years.
Many things are the same as what you said two years ago. Several local forces have united to form and control various guilds, and they are waiting for Fat Sheep to invest in the Atlantic Ocean. "
Li Changheng frowned suddenly.
What the hell is the guild, which has changed its nature a long time ago, but is a legitimate duomang organization that came out to make trouble.
wrong.
Perhaps this local force is not someone from Atlantic City at all, but a powerful person in New Jersey, and even Kahn is a part of it.
Otherwise, it's just a local force in a small city, let alone Li Changheng.
For an ordinary billionaire, as long as he is willing to spend hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars, he has plenty of ways and connections.
Get rid of those who are powerful in the local area, but in New Jersey as a whole, they are small players.
And Kahn would explicitly persuade himself to give up because he knew very well that at least half of the donkey and elephant volunteers in the entire New Jersey Federal Senate and volunteers had a deep relationship with him.
So as long as people like Li Changheng don't risk their lives and are willing to pay benefits, no one can compete with him when it comes to the New Jersey Congress and the support of Atlantic City citizens.
But if he really took the beach in Atlantic City, people like Kahn would not get the slightest benefit.
After figuring this out, Li Changheng asked tentatively, "What if someone just bought the entire beach in Atlantic City, spent money to build the first hotel, and then left after attracting all the capital.
Even allocate part of the land to local forces, in your opinion, this will hinder the interests of those people? "
Kahn shook his head helplessly, and while secretly cursing capitalists as hyenas, he really didn't want to offend Li Changheng on this matter.
After all, not to mention his multi-billion net worth, just the senators in New York and New Jersey who were recruited by the Panda Restaurant decided that if they wanted to have a higher development, they must not offend Li Changheng to death.
And this time is different from two years ago. Capital predators have not appeared, but there are many small and medium-sized alligators staring at Atlantic City.
It has been delayed until now that Atlantic City has not really been developed, nothing more than that they have been unable to reach an agreement.
So a person with too much energy and wealth suddenly joins a feast of wealth, not to mention Kahn himself. Once the news gets out, many people will worry that Li Changheng will swallow all the benefits by himself.
