Chapter 11 The Good-Face Tao Xi
chaebol fight
Congressional embarrassment
It is very rare for a scandal involving one's own affairs to be made known to the whole world by Murdoch, a news tycoon.
After all, it is at the entrance to the Panama Canal and Suins Canal.
A huge flag clearly indicates that nearly 30 large companies in the United States and ships under corporate ownership are not allowed to enter.
Although many people watched all this happening with excitement.
But many people couldn't help but start to treat Tao Xi, a rising star, seriously. At first, these American chaebol tycoons simply thought that Tao Xi was just a poor man who relied on the support of old Xie Yin to stand up.
But until
These plutocratic tycoons saw that the originally industrious dredging ships on the Panama Grand Canal and Suins Canal turned into heavily armed storm squads who boarded the ships from time to time to search the cargo carried by passing ships.
They were all stunned
What surprised them most was that both Egypt and Panama acquiesced in their behavior.
When some investigation companies began to conduct in-depth investigations into the background of [Panama Shipping Company], everyone was shocked by Tausi's massive investments in Egypt and Panama.
The name "DeLaurie Bus Company" is plastered on old Soviet buses that can be seen everywhere.
As long as you can see slums being demolished in Cairo, it must be apartments or pigeon houses donated by [Panama Commercial Bank].
If we talk about food, clothing, housing and transportation, Tausi accounts for both. Egypt's employment rate has been reduced by 1% due to the existence of Tausi.
A motorcycle assembly factory plus a food factory and a large Neel farm on the outskirts of Cairo instantly stunned this group of investigation companies who had been eyeing the Middle East.
As for Panama, Chinese construction workers along the coast will tell you that their client is the Panama Shipping Company.
The large-scale construction and real estate financial leverage have allowed Taosi's [Panama Commercial Bank] to reach its extreme. As long as you can have a [Business License] on the coast of Panama, you can get a house with the loan from this license.
The perfect internal economic cycle made Lawrence Dupont feel a little uncomfortable after seeing it.
"Are you sure you're not kidding me that their construction speed is so fast?"
Lawrence lay on the large satellite drawing of the room and looked at the densely packed buildings and migrant workers. His mouth was so wide that he couldn't close his mouth at all.
"Then what did the Congress say? Didn't they say that Tao Xi violated the principles of commercial competition?"
"Or sue them under the trust laws?"
The CEO of DuPont Group, standing at the door, replied with an embarrassed look on his face: "California also has many members in the upper house and lower house of Congress."
"And the boards of Boeing and Pan Am have been shaken!"
"The union has put a lot of pressure on them, and more than half of them have given up their jobs. As far as I know, Copa Group has assured them that it will provide them with a job closer to home and with better pay, and Boeing
The group's research institute was poached by Tao Xi with many high-tech talents."
Lawrence Dupont's face became calmer.
People around him knew that he was getting angrier: "Old Xie Yin refused to answer my call today. It seems that the news that old Xie Yin retired in 1995 is true!"
"Yes, and I heard that ****'s heir has been very close to Tao Xi recently, and old Morgan seems to have plans to let Tao Xi marry his daughter."
Lawrence Dupont was speechless after hearing this series of news.
Because the facts were before him, in Lawrence's mind, there was nothing in this world that couldn't be solved with money, but today he realized it.
Tao Xi has enough courage!
In order to exhaust the raw materials of the DuPont Group, Tao Xi spent huge sums of money to acquire shares in four large shipping groups in just one week. If it was a simple competition for financial resources, he was not afraid.
But Tao Xi is wicked!
All coastal ports in Japan and Central America are not allowed to dock as long as they are consigning goods from the DuPont Group. Even the tycoons in the Middle East are beginning to waver.
Because Tao Xi tightly controls the oil transportation radius of those rich people.
As the world's largest oil importer, the United States will make less money if they take a day off. If they cannot take a shortcut to the U.S. coast for oil loading and unloading, then the United States will find another buyer.
The oil tycoons who are entangled among themselves are secretly competing with each other. No matter how much oil the DuPont Group absorbs, will there be more wars?
When his plan failed, Lawrence Dupont began to use the shortage of raw materials in his factories to put pressure on Tao Xi. However, Lawrence Dupont forgot that since there are war factions in Congress, there are also peace factions!
California legislators who had always advocated foreign war changed their tune overnight and merged with the peace faction.
There are no permanent enemies, only temporary interests. After this prestigious person spoke out, the big shot behind Lawrence really hesitated for a long time.
"Peace talks!"
"Lawrence, I know you have helped a lot, but I just hope that everything in front of me is peaceful. The suspension of the Panama Canal has affected my interests."
"I hope you'll think about it."
"If you agree, I will arrange a sumptuous banquet for both of you in Washington!"
Lawrence Dupont hung up the phone with a purple face and said no more.
But Taosi, who was far away in California, met his dear Mr. Jeffrey Kyle.
"Hahaha, I knew you were coming, but I heard from Hill that you have been taking people to his place for inspections every two days in the past three days!"
Jeffrey Kyle is no longer the police chief he was before.
He has the air of a successful person. Since he became governor, although California's deficit is still very high, the fast-growing Neal Group has really solved a lot of troubles for him.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, let me see the big shot who dares to compete with the DuPont Group now!"
"Did he have four legs or two heads?"
Jeffrey Kyle had an elder's expression on his face and joked with Tao Xi, but Sophie Marceau was very obedient and served tea and water without rest.
"No, no, no!"
"You must have been hired to work as a lobbyist for you. I have just started, and you are messing with me like this. When Dupont wanted to mess with me, those members of Congress were all pretending to be deaf and dumb."
When Jeffrey Kyle saw Tao Xi's unconvinced look, he went up and hit him on the back of the head.
"You have to go to the Washington dinner tonight even if you don't want to!"
"Otherwise, when your godfather comes with Jin Xizhen, I will explain it carefully."
Tao Xi, who shrank his neck, still remained silent.
"It's not a big deal to stop the Panama Canal for three days, but if you make the hawks in Congress hate you, how will you earn Congress's arms purchase money in the future?"
"Don't worry! Old Xie Yin has the upper hand now."
....
This is not the first time that Tao Xi has come to the White House.
Tao Xi came here at the last congressional arms purchase promotion meeting.
But it was Tao Xi's first time in the White House Banquet Hall. The security guard at the door took the lead in bowing when he saw Tao Xi.
I don’t know if it’s Tao Xi’s illusion.
He felt that after he opened his own tiger claws for the first time in the environment of international public opinion.
No matter where he went, his smiling faces began to increase. Even the security guards at the gate of the White House began to smile more.
"Mr. Taosi, your arrival has made the White House shine!"
"Yes!" Tao Xi smiled and waved like the leader of a certain country, and the car drove towards the main entrance of the White House.
Don't wait for Tao Xi to get off the car
The private at the gate was busy holding an umbrella for Tao Xi and opening the door for Tao Xi.
"No, don't block me from seeing the sun!"
The private holding the umbrella looked up at the round moon in the sky and was suddenly stunned. Just when he was about to explain, Tao Xi had already led the large army behind him to the door of the White House Banquet Hall.
White House Ballroom
As the name suggests, it is to provide dining places for some heads of state. If the commander-in-chief needs to entertain guests, he can report it to Congress. After Congress approves, the White House will approve the expenses to pay.
Walking in the corridor of the banquet hall, Taosi saw many Washington ladies and some well-known politicians.
But Tao Xi didn't say hello to anyone, but walked towards the door with his head held high.
A gorgeous Washington socialite asked curiously: "Who is this person? He looks really unlikable!"
"Ah! You don't know him!"
"He is the other protagonist in the White House banquet hall this time. The old man Lawrence Dupont who just entered was defeated by him!"
"That's the DuPont Group. I heard from my father that he has a very good relationship with the current leader, but Tao Xi relied on his bare hands to make the DuPont family bow their heads and admit their mistakes!"
The Washington socialite standing in the corridor looked at Tao Xi's leaving figure and couldn't help but said with emotion: "He is so young, I just don't know if he is married."
"Not married! He is just a bit of a playboy. Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, and the female stars who have recently emerged in Hollywood are all related to him in some way, and his sister is our enemy!"
The socialite who asked who Tao Xi was at the beginning covered her mouth in surprise: "Ah! Who are you, Jin Xizhen! It's his sister! It's such a pity. Last time in New York, Jin Xizhen threatened to buy Rockefeller from the Japanese.
Where is the building?"
"ah!"
"She really said it!"
"I forgot to tell you, do you know the richest man in Los Angeles? It's Tao Xi! He has several nicknames in Washington! Los Angeles, Tokyo, One Piece! There are so many~"
"What does it mean to point to Tokyo?"
"Are you really stupid in Seattle? Do you know that Tao Xi can make Tokyo bankrupt by giving a thumbs up? Don't you still want to be an international star? As long as Tao Xi is willing, you can definitely become a star, no matter what
She is a movie star and a global singer. Do you know that girl? It was sung by Akina Nakamori, and it is said that Tao Xi gave her the lyrics!"
Tao Xi, the male protagonist, was completely unaware of the discussions in the corridor.
