Chapter 713 Husband and Wife Beat Workers
Francis Wood is very ambitious and capable, but his background is low, and his father is even an alcoholic.
There is no representative of the backing.
Once he really gets the support of Henry Lee, he is destined to become a real super boss.
Maybe in the next few years, or even if you are lucky, you will be able to participate in the senate election with only 2 people in each state and the term of office is 6 years.
As long as he is elected, Francis is fully confident that the re-election of South Carolina senators will be much easier than the election of representatives with a term of only 2 years.
To put it bluntly, the members of the House of Representatives face the voters in the constituency.
Like the supporters of Francis, the purpose of electing him is to better sell oranges.
In the past two or three years, almost a quarter of South Carolina's oranges have been purchased by Li Changheng's Panda Restaurant, stadium, and the two bases of the National Guard and Navy.
Moreover, it's not that Francis can't sell more oranges, but his own constituency is so big that fools help other fruit farmers in other parts of South Carolina to sell their agricultural products.
If we really want to get serious, Francis is confident that he can sell about one-fifth of the agricultural products in South Carolina just by attracting some customers.
One-fourth plus one-fifth is 45% of the share. This performance alone is enough to run for the senatorial election in South Carolina.
Wait until Panda Restaurant starts to expand again, and if the sales share exceeds 50%, then win some intermediate votes.
Plus media publicity, campaign funds, and the advantage of the donor Henry Lee in the connections between the two parties.
The result of the election is not to say that it is 100% sure, but there is still a certainty of 70% or 80%.
If the Panda Restaurant can be brought to South Carolina, it will easily bring one or two thousand jobs and at least tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue every year.
There is also the use of Henry Lee's relationship to promote Boyin to set up a production line in South Carolina.
In addition to the gossip, it has been rumored that Henry Lee intends to set up a private aerospace company.
Relying on the processing advantages in the aviation field brought by more than a dozen large-scale precision processing plants owned by South Carolina.
If the world's first private aerospace company really settles in South Carolina, Francis feels that he will be able to enjoy a ten-year bonus based on this credit alone.
Even, if Henry Lee can really make breakthroughs in aerospace and practical technology by virtue of his strong financial advantages.
As Henry Lee's influence grew, his voice as a South Carolina senator in many committees of women's associations would also skyrocket.
Maybe in the future, he will be able to follow the path of senator, senior senator, committee chairman, party whip, secretary of state, speaker, or even grand commander, step by step.
Think about Henry Lee casually spending 75 million in cash, plus 60 million US dollars worth of shares in United Artists, to get a 2.5% stake in the media group.
He knew that his benefactor was really not short of money, and once he made a decision, he didn't care about the premium of more than 10 million U.S. dollars.
If he can get more than five million US dollars in campaign funding, Francis feels that he is only 90% sure of running for the Senate.
For a moment, he really wanted to kneel on the ground and swear allegiance to Li Changheng's Selby family.
After dancing with Tina Hurst, Li Changheng walked back to Francis and his wife.
With a smile, he said to Francis' wife, Claire Wood, who will become the female head barrel in "House of Cards" in the future.
"Claire, I heard that you set up a non-profit "Water Cleansing Project" charity organization because some fruit farmers only cared about their own interests and used a lot of pesticides to pollute the environment and water resources?"
After Francis and Claire listened, their eyes lit up at the same time.
Francis' first thought was that he was indeed attracted by Li Changheng, otherwise he, a super boss like him, wouldn't have the time to learn about the "Water Purification Project".
But Claire immediately thought that the identities of Li Changheng and Annie would indeed make them pay more attention to the safety of food and water.
And if he really gets the attention of a billionaire, not to mention the funds for research will not be lacking.
With the cooperation between Guangneng and Henry Lee, the company "Water Purification Plan" will become the favored object of capital in the future.
And he can also gain great prestige and influence.
When Claire was excited, she ignored the hints in Francis' eyes to her, and hurriedly nodded, "As far as I know, the whole of America is not only polluted by a large amount of pesticides, but also water resources.
It is DuPont's,,,. "
Before Claire finished speaking, Li Changheng interrupted her by raising his hand.
This made Francis, whose heart beat as fast as if he had run 1 kilometer, heaved a sigh of relief within a few seconds.
Then I heard Li Changheng frowned and said, "I know what the carbon-8 fluorine-based waterproofing agent is, but the US government does not have an accurate dosage standard.
And, you gotta understand, Claire.
DuPont relies on Teflon's annual turnover of more than 1 billion, and its net profit is at least 400 million US dollars.
I don't think you or Francis can win the lawsuit and war with DuPont until there are a lot of victims. "
Francis and Claire were taken aback. They really didn't expect Li Changheng to know more about this matter than their husband and wife.
"But you can, Henry."
"Shut up, Claire." Francis glared at his wife angrily, "Let's take care of the South Carolina orange farmers and the abuse of pesticides.
Moreover, this is also within our ability, what can be done.
The rest, that's the environment agency's problem. "
The corners of Li Changheng's lips turned upward, of course he was absolutely sure of winning the lawsuit against DuPont.
Because he has money, connections, and can afford a lawsuit that may last ten or twenty years.
Moreover, after watching the movie "Black Water", he knows more about DuPont's weakness in this matter.
But he didn't have to make enemies with DuPont just because the government of the United States pretended to be deaf and dumb.
If that is the case, the United States has too many problems.
Flour, special tobacco, drug abuse, additive abuse, and even pasture cattle are all using various hormones.
I haven't seen the US officials stand up and speak for ordinary Americans.
Therefore, although Li Changheng admired it, he still had the heart of a virgin at this time, and Claire was more innocent.
But he will never force himself out for this matter.
Of course, if there is an irreconcilable conflict with DuPont, that's another matter.
Seeing Claire's worried, even anxious expression, he couldn't help but smile and said, "If you want to change the world, you have to have that ability yourself."
These words made Claire feel for the first time that maybe she should join in Zhengzhi's game like her husband Francis.
It's a pity, if she really does this, the future will definitely understand that what changed was not herself and the world, but the world changed her.
Even forcing her to become the same person as Du Pont and Li Changheng.
