Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 1033 Since You Want to Pay, Then Pay Enough

The teenage girl back then has now become a mature woman.

And probably because he saved Liberl and his brother Vic, Liberl has never forgotten Chu Xiangqian over the years.

Unfortunately, Chu Xiangqian has not spent much time in Los Angeles over the years.

Sometimes, I don’t come here for a year or two.

The reason is very simple. In the 1960s and 1970s, women in China were not only severely discriminated against, but were also not as friendly to foreign investors as imagined.

However, it was already the 80s, and the abundance of investment opportunities forced Chu Xiangqian to start paying attention to the magnesium market and stock market.

Liberl recently broke up with her boyfriend, and when she heard her father Robert talk about Chu Xiangqian, the girl quickly started thinking about winning Chu Xiangqian over again.

So at this moment, Liberl's gaze towards Chu Xiangqian was passionate and undisguised.

Even Chu Xiangqian, a veteran in the martial arts world, felt a little guilty when seeing this.

It’s okay to have fun, but Chu Xiangqian is not stupid. How could he not see what this girl and her father Robert are thinking?
Fortunately, Liberl has never been married, otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would definitely stay away from him.

Looking at Robert, the old man just shrugged and said with a smile, "Stark, Libel just broke up with her boyfriend, I brought her here to relax."

No one believed this, and Maria stared at Liberl with dissatisfaction and fear in her eyes.

If it were any other woman, Maria wouldn’t care at all whether the other person wanted to get close to Chu Xiangqian.

Anyway, Chu Xiangqian has a lot of women.

And he's an inexhaustible beast.

Not to mention satisfying Maria's physical needs, there would be no problem at all even if there were more people playing the game together.

As Robert's daughter, Claire played for many years when she was young. After she turned 30, she started to become like most children of the Zhengzhi family.

After having enough fun, he started looking for new goals in life, and then, as expected, he started to go into politics.

What is unexpected is that it only took a few years.

The achievements of the newcomer Liberl are much greater than those of Robert's own son, Liberl's younger brother Vic, who has been supported by Robert for many years.

Moreover, there is a very strange rule in the Senate: if the father is a senator, he can directly give his seat to his children when necessary.

Not only Chu Xiangqian could see what the father and daughter were thinking, but Maria, Charlie Weir, Taylor and others could also guess what they were thinking.

Robert saw that Chu Xiangqian's smile was becoming increasingly restrained, and he knew that he could not provoke this guy anymore.

He smiled and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Stark, can we talk alone?"

Chu nodded forward, and the two walked aside. Robert did not hide anything.

"I know you are discussing shipping business with the Japanese. I can help you put pressure on them.

In return, I hope you or Her Highness Margaret can provide long-term support to Liberl in the future."

Chu Xiangqian nodded without hesitation. It would be easiest to talk about money directly.

Moreover, he knew that the long-arm jurisdiction law, which was only enacted in 77, had not yet been applied to foreign investors like him.

But those in power will find out in a few years.

This bill not only restricts China's enterprises from bribing local dignitaries abroad to gain unfair competitive benefits.

This law can also be used to threaten and blackmail foreign suppliers and partners of Magnesium Women's Enterprises.

Since you have received money from Meiguo Enterprise, as long as people come to Meiguo, they have the right and basis to arrest you.

Even if it's just $100, the Magnesium Women can catch you.

It’s obvious that they want to mess with you.

So if you want to avoid this situation, you have to pay the protection fee.

To put it bluntly, big guys like Robert don't care how much money you make.

But if you are stingy, don't blame them for targeting you.

Since we have to pay money, it will naturally be paid to long-term partners.

Chu Xiangqian's investment in Chase, Wells Fargo, Citigroup and Magnesium Bank was actually a disguised form of protection money.

Otherwise, Standard Chartered will definitely fine you hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in the future just like HSBC and Deutsche Bank.

Of course, we have to thank polar bears for our existence in this era.

At this time, women dare not do many things that are too excessive or blatant.

When the polar bears disintegrate and Magnesium becomes the only one in power, they will act in a domineering manner.

Fortunately, in the 1990s, money from all over the world flowed to women, and women led and initiated the Internet industry.

It was easy for Meiguo to make money at that time.

As long as capital can make money, sometimes it is willing to have a good talk with you.

Moreover, if you can help them make money, then you will be the guest of honor.

Even God.

Only when things go downhill will they lose all their dignity.

Not only foreign companies, but even domestic companies are constantly causing trouble.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and said, "I heard that Liber has obtained her lawyer's license. Why not hire her as the person in charge of my law firm in Hong Kong Island?

From now on, all legal and other issues will be her responsibility.

And I will send professionals to assist her?"

As soon as Robert heard it, he knew that the so-called assistance was nothing more than a lack of trust in Liberl's professional ability.

But who made her the daughter of a senator?

It is Liberl's responsibility to leave professional matters to professional lawyers and use the family's resources and connections to deal with off-field troubles.

Robert smiled and nodded, and they quickly agreed that Liber's annual salary would be $12.

Last year, that is, in 80, the per capita income of Meiguo people was more than 8 yuan.

Liber's monthly salary is 1 yuan. In this era, the salary of some top lawyers is around this level.

Even if she did nothing, the money would always be there as long as Robert was a senator.

If there is any problem, if you can solve Chu Xiangqian's trouble, the bonus will be calculated separately.

If Liber needed help, Chu Xiangqian would also support her financially and physically when necessary, just like he supported Robert, and push her to the top.

Now Robert could only raise his glass and clink it with Chu Xiangqian.

His original expectation was only about 5 yuan a year, but he didn't expect Chu Xiangqian to be as generous as ever.

If you are going to give, give enough.

To avoid being stingy, in the end even if people are willing to help, they may not be willing to do their best.

If something goes wrong, the loss will be even greater.

Over the years, no one has bothered Chu Xiangqian in Magnesium, also because Robert gets at least hundreds of thousands of dollars from Chu Xiangqian every year.

It was one or two times higher than the market price, so it was hard for Robert not to be very concerned.

Chu Xiangqian said, thought for a moment, and pretended to reach into his pocket.

He took out a golden card from the game warehouse, handed it to Robert and said, “This is the VIP card of the Cultural Hotel in Los Angeles.

There are $10 worth of consumer discount coupons every year, and a 5% discount on dining, accommodation, parties, and other expenses.

It's a gift to congratulate Liber on obtaining his lawyer qualification."

Robert was stunned, then asked with a smile, “Then this gift is several years late.

And is this for me? Or for Liberl?" Chu Xiangqian rolled his eyes, "Okay, I'll have someone send one to Liberl later."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and simply continued, "By the way, I'll give Vicky one too. However, each of us shareholders only has one VIP card for you.

Therefore, the VIP level for Vicky and Liber is two levels lower than yours. The annual amount is only $5, and the discount is 7% off. "

Robert didn't care about it at all. To put it bluntly, Chu Xiangqian was indirectly increasing the amount of money he gave him every year.

Robert thought for a moment and said with a smile, "Stark, I, as a father, should personally hand over those two cards to Liber and Vicky.

It was a pleasant surprise.”

Chu Xiangqian naturally didn't care whether Robert had embezzled these two cards.

In fact, he didn't want Liber and Vic to go to Mandarin Oriental with their discount cards.

Although I have had little contact with Liberl and Vichi over the years.

But the relationship with Robert has always been very good.

Naturally, you will also have a certain understanding of his family.

Among the young women who came out of the 70s, rebellion, decadence and stupidity are common.

Chu Xiangqian really has no interest in a woman like Liberl who has been playing for more than ten years and has probably participated in all kinds of ridiculous flour parties.

Even feels dirty.

As for Vic, this kid's experience is very similar to that of a young man from another family with greater power and prospects.

If you really want to invest in the next generation of the George W. Bush family, you might as well invest in the Bush brothers.

It’s a pity that Chu Xiangqian really has no connections now and can’t get in touch with the Bush family.

I can only wait for them to come to me so that I can establish contact with them.

In 78, after George W. Bush lost his race for the Texas House of Representatives, he was somewhat devastated.

Moreover, his alcoholism is getting worse and worse. If you invest in him now, you may have to wait for many years before you will reap the rewards.

But his father, George H.W. Bush, was already the deputy president of the United States at that time.

Moreover, he was in office for eight years, and received strong support from 'Li Gen' before 'Li Gen' stepped down.

From 89 to 93, she became the leader of the Magnesium Women.

Then Bush came to power, but what was unexpected was that George W. Bush would also become the president, and was even more powerful than his father, serving for eight years.

It can be said that by boarding the Bush family now, Chu Xiangqian will not have to worry about any problems with Meiguo’s investment in the next twenty years.

As for Zipperton, he is actually easier to deal with than any great commander.

Chu Xiangqian had always had a misunderstanding before. He always thought that Meiguo's consortium was the real controller behind the scenes.

But after being reborn twenty years later, I discovered that the female president and senators have enormous power.

Many times, the relationship between capital and securities clients is just one of mutual exploitation.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been so many great commanders assassinated.

Such extreme measures actually show that capital has no real effective solutions and can only take risks.

In House of Cards, the protagonist once said that wealth is insignificant in the face of power.

After Robert got what he wanted, he felt relieved.

Pulling Chu forward, he muttered, "Stark, do you really think the Japanese are willing to buy United Artists?"

Chu Xiangqian chuckled, "Neon people have been lobbying you women's association leaders for many years, right?"

Robert did not answer, but raised the glass in his hand as an answer to his question.

Chu Xiangqian then continued, "If I were a Japanese, I would definitely try my best to please them and improve their inherent impression of me in order to reduce their negative emotions towards me.

But being too direct can sometimes make people feel disgusted.

So in the field of popular culture, subtle influence is a good idea with low cost, high effect, and maybe even a chance to make a profit.”

Robert frowned when he heard this.

Chu Xiangqian knew what he was thinking. This guy had participated in the Pacific War. Although he had a bad attitude towards the Celestial Empire, his attitude towards the Neon people was equally bad.

It's even worse, because in the contacts Chu Xiangqian has had with Neon over the years, he has subtly told us about many of the evil deeds that Neon committed in the past.

Therefore, for Robert, the cultural invasion of the Japanese and their attempt to make money have exceeded his psychological bottom line.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "Sometimes, when dealing with an enemy, you can't just shut the opponent out.

But let him in.

Once the Japanese spent a large sum of money to buy United Artists, they would inevitably increase their investment in the film industry.

It not only exports their own culture, but also advertises their country's products in the movie.

He also wanted to take advantage of the good market conditions in Hollywood to make some extra money.

But to be honest, I have been in the film industry for more than ten years, and I know very well that 10 out of 9 movie investments lose money.

The remaining 10% is the winner-takes-all, accounting for the vast majority of the box office in the market.

Moreover, only if the Japanese pay more and you occasionally publicize Japan’s crimes in the past, will they spend more money on lobbying.

Otherwise, from what I know about Japanese people, he is not a generous person. "

Robert immediately felt that what Chu Xiangqian said was right.

Although Neon spends a lot of money on lobbying every year, he only gets a few tens of thousands of dollars.

Most of the money is actually earned by the media industry and various lobbying organizations.

Compared with Chu Xiangqian, when he has nothing to do, he can make hundreds of thousands a year.

If necessary, it can be one or two million a year.

Not to mention, in the past six months, just by cooperating with him to support the Afghan deputy, he, Dennis and Perez divided more than 7 million US dollars.

The interest groups behind the scenes took away at least 30 to 40 million US dollars.

Moreover, judging from Afu Khan's current situation, he can still get several more years of money.

There is absolutely no comparison between the two.

That's why he said he would help Chu Xiangqian put pressure on the Japanese.

After thinking for a while, Robert smiled and said, "There is a gathering of Pacific War veterans in California every year. Are you interested in donating some funds to this organization?"

Chu Xiangqian was willing to give the money this time, but he couldn't participate directly.

After thinking about it, his eyes fell on Maria, and Liberl, who was chatting and laughing with Maria, but with a gloomy expression on his face.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Chu Xiangqian quickly decided to let Liberl handle this matter.

This woman went crazy during her rebellious period, but now she has turned over a new leaf. Chu Xiangqian doesn't believe that she has really changed for the better.

It was all just that he got tired of playing and found new toys, so he started his career.

Therefore, based on Chu Xiangqian's understanding of Liberl's character flaws, he could not hide them from her at all.

Let this woman have more contact with veterans of the Pacific War because of her sponsorship.

In the future, I will definitely be influenced by these veterans and start to hate Japan.

At least, there won't be too much goodwill.

And this is consistent with Robert's inherent impression and perception of Japanese people.

Not only will they not oppose it, but they will support Liberl.
