"You think I'm stupid?"

"No," Frank finished speaking, staring at Li Changheng with an uncertain expression and thinking.

Based on my understanding of Li Changheng over the years, this bastard is really good at his friends and is very generous in his actions.

But anyone who thinks he is a good person is a real fool.

It is not the first time that he has plotted against if he doesn't pay attention.

So Frank said with certainty, "It seems that while you are optimistic about Dixon, you also think that Dixon will take off in 10 years.

Then I need to buy more shares and help you handle the board of directors by the way, and then when you really target this company and plan to buy it.

Not only can I use your influence and vision to expand DiSni's territory in Hollywood, but I can also make a big profit again."

Li Changheng was not angry because his thoughts were guessed by Frank.

It would be strange if Frank couldn't think of it.

Moreover, his purpose was not to control DiSni. With Lianmei Film, unless the two companies merge, the harm outweighed the benefits.

If we can use Lianmei Business and DiSini to control the two largest public broadcasters in the United States, our voice in the American media will definitely exceed that of any media tycoon in the future.

As for controlling rights, it is the least issue that needs to be considered.

The United States' antitrust law is not a decoration. The most famous example is Rockefeller before, and then Bell Labs was broken down into 7 telecommunications companies.

As for the big companies that were almost dismembered, there are more.

After suffering a few big losses, the American big family also learned to be smart. If it doesn't work on the surface, I secretly took control of the shares.

And you have me, I have you.

Anyway, if you have shares, you can cooperate with each other in traditional fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and machinery, maintaining a situation where both competition and not killing each other.

Of course, the idea is good and there are certain results, but it is not that simple to do it.

The interests of each company's management are only related to the company's income. When fighting with each other, they will not care about the idea that shareholders need to consider the overall situation.

-----

Separated from Frank, Li Changheng went to deal with the establishment of a real estate company, and met Gary Bernard, who had just been released from prison.

The first conversation turned out to be good. Gary's ideas were limited by the times, but he was indeed a very thoughtful person.

What surprised Li Changheng the most was that the two and a half years of prison had given him the idea of ​​going into politics.

This road seemed difficult in this era, but in Li Changheng's opinion, it was actually very easy. The key is which city and which state to run for election.

And he also needs a member of a minority origin.

A week later, the real estate company was officially established.

Gary and Nick took the $5 million check issued by Lee Changheng and began to look for buildings suitable for building luxury apartments in the area where Queens and the east of Chang Island were handed over to Queens.

Li Changheng not only fully accepted Gary's previous practices, but also helped blacks move into white high-income residential areas.

It has also been further upgraded to help blacks get Citi loans faster when there is a mortgage.

There is no need to help hundreds or thousands, just Gary can help a few black people become rich. If the media follows up, his reputation and influence among the African American group in the United States will rise sharply.

Before the African Americans were determined to have voting rights in 1965, the proportion of African Americans in the United States was about 20%, but by 1969, this proportion was 61%.

The middle- and high-income blacks are definitely the best source of votes in this period of 1975.

Li Changheng was indeed worried at first that his support for Gary would cause some trouble to him, but it would be easier to push the MPs on his side to a higher stage, and a little bit of trouble seemed irrelevant.

Moreover, after thinking carefully, Li Changheng quickly realized that he didn't really need to stand at the front desk.

Jewish people, who are actually very small in the United States, have an interesting and feasible approach, that since some white people do not like Jews very much, they should help Africans and Hispanics improve their social status.

Everyone stands up together, even if the interests may not be consistent, it will also cause more trouble to those white people with racial discrimination.

The pressure on Jewish people is reduced in disguise and there is still a chance.

So what Li Changheng had to do was simpler, and secretly sparked a big discussion on the current situation of ethnic minorities in the United States.

Soon he discovered that not only blacks, Latinos, and Jews jumped out.

There are Irish and Italians who have always been looked down upon by descendants of Western European countries, and they are also secretly causing trouble.

Now no one cares about the real estate company established by Li Changheng, and no politician or rich man will jump out and accuse Citi of some preferential policies formulated to win over blacks and Hispanics.

As for Citi, as long as it can make more money and raise Citi's stock price, let alone just treat minorities and whites in service providers.

As long as the interests are sufficient, there is no problem in pushing a black man or Latino congressman to appear.

The only thing that made Li Changheng helpless was that Citi was still very concerned about recruiting black people to work in the bank.

But he was not in a hurry, and it was even more impossible to really be a saint. The purpose of doing so many things is all based on interests.

If you have something to do, time will pass quickly. Two months later, Li Changheng accompanied Ruan Mei on Hong Kong Island for a month, and then went to the island country for a month to accompany Yumiko.

After returning to New York, I met Gary immediately.

"Boss, this is the company's operation in the past two months."

Li Changheng took the folder and signaled Gary to sit in a decent suit. Then he looked carefully for a few minutes before nodding with satisfaction.

5 million US dollars are exchanged for 6 four- or five-story buildings with 400 luxury apartments. The land in Queens and Long Island areas where these buildings are located will appreciate several times in the future.

Once expanded into a high-rise building, it will be more than ten times or dozens of times the profit.

For 400 apartments with an average monthly rent of US$220, the annual income of US$1.05 million can bring about net income of approximately US$800,000 after deducting necessary expenses.

Getting back all the investment in more than 6 years is not a good business in New York, but it is not bad either. After all, the real estate is still in the hands of real estate companies, rather than renting those apartment buildings.

Li Changheng's focus is not on this.

After chatting with Gary about the real estate company for nearly two hours, Li Changheng sent him away, and then took the company's income and the market valuation of the six apartment buildings, so he asked Citi to take out a loan.

Citi Vice President Taylor Garner, who was hinted by Li Changheng, quickly took over the loan himself, and while approving it, a very high-level confidentiality procedure was set.
