Reborn since 1993

Chapter 514 Others laugh at him for being too crazy, he laughs at others for not seeing through him

Johnny Reed knew that even his wife Sarah knew about Himalaya Radio and had heard news about it. He could imagine how well-known Himalaya Radio was in America.

Everyone sat down and the dishes began to be served. There are basically two types of restaurants in the world, including Michelin. One is for eating, and the other is for showing off one's status.

The restaurant used for eating may not be very famous. After all, these days, it is better to brag than to do well. It is better to work hard to make a meal than to have others give it a name, such as "Flame under the Ice Sign", and dare to charge $99 for just setting up a dish!

This Spanish restaurant entertains New York celebrities, wealthy people, and powerful people. It is a social restaurant in itself. Most people who come to this restaurant don't come here to eat. It's hard to say whether the food tastes good, but the dishes and the presentation are definitely very classy and will not embarrass either party.

The first appetizer, on a plate, was served as a work of art. There was a spray of blue liquid in the plate, and underneath was something like a white smoothie, garnished with dried fruits and other things.

How to describe the taste? Li Dongling took a sip and it felt like a smoothie with a hint of cocktail. And then, nothing else. The entire portion was basically gone in one gulp!
However, Mrs. Sarah Reed seemed to approve of this dish. It was probably a dish commonly used in banquets of New York's upper class society, which emphasized the style and flamboyance.

After all, they don’t need to do physical labor or eat high-calorie foods, so they naturally put a lot of thought into the style of the dishes, making them look high-end and classy, ​​in line with their upper-class status!

The second appetizer was liquid salad, well, it was served in a fish-shaped plate with tomato jelly as the base, and topped with bean sprouts of different flavors, such as pepper and pumpkin.

Then there are bread filled with vodka, caviar, and fresh cream, solid smoked caviar, mushroom crackers, onion soup, etc. Each dish is basically an artistic shape, but the taste is hard to describe.

Yao Luoying was basically the same and only took a few bites of the dishes. Anyway, the Spanish barbecue and brandy were what suited Li Dongling's appetite the most.

But everyone came here today not for this meal. After taking a few bites, Reed picked up the napkin, wiped his lips, and looked at Li Dongling. "I heard that the number of users of Himalaya Radio has exceeded 3.5 million?"

"Yes!"

Li Dongling looked at Reed and said, "This year, the goal of Himalaya Radio in America is to exceed 6 million users. In addition, after opening servers in England, Canada, France and other places, the number of global users will exceed 8 million!"

Johnny Reed was obviously surprised to hear that Himalaya Radio's goal this year was to break through eight million users.

Then, Reed said to Li Dongling tentatively, "I heard that anyone can create their own program on Himalaya Radio, but the comments made by those podcast creators on Himalaya Radio are not liked by everyone!"

Like what Jolly Kings did, denying NASA and the Federal Space Agency, denying America's achievements in landing on the moon, it can be said that it is trampling underfoot the most proud achievement of America since the 1960s of this century.

It also tramples on the IQ of America's Ivy League schools. It would be a miracle if they could be welcomed by Capitol Hill and the elite class in America.

The key thing about public opinion is that if three people make a tiger, it will really be a tiger. If one person says that America is cheating in the aerospace field, NASA, the Federal Space Agency, and the guys on Capitol Hill may just laugh it off and not argue with the fool.

But if ten thousand people, one hundred thousand people, one million people, or ten million people all think this way, and all question the Federal Space Agency, and even begin to question Capitol Hill, and the Federal Space Agency is unable to send another person to the moon, then this kind of remarks will really be confirmed.

The entire Capitol Hill will be brought to shame. From now on, everything you say will be like fart, not to mention in the eyes of outsiders, even in the eyes of Americans themselves!

Reed knew that Himalaya Radio and Feiyan Technology wanted him to endorse them, but he needed to know the troubles that Feiyan Technology might encounter before making a decision. If Feiyan Technology encountered too many and too big troubles, in the end, not only would he not be able to get the dollars, but it might even affect his path to Capitol Hill, which would be a loss.

Li Dongling cut a piece of steak and tasted it slowly. There was no need to be humble to American congressmen like Johnny Reed and other powerful people. To put it bluntly, both sides got what they needed.

Reed needs Feiyan Technology's dollar donation, and Feiyan Technology needs Reed's endorsement to stop the federal monsters from attacking Feiyan Technology. The two sides are using each other, it's not about who is whose subordinate. Reed's power today is still that of the mayor of New York City, the governor of New York State, a senator on Capitol Hill, and the like.

If you become weak when you meet federal congressmen and powerful people like Reid, then you will be eaten up by them. When they don't regard you as a human being, even if you treat you like a dog, you will probably be despised and will be beaten to the bone and marrow, and even your bones will be eaten up completely.

Just like the cryptocurrency exchange Binance, its founder really believed the lies of the America and thought he could get away with it by paying the money. As a result, he just paid a fine of 43 billion US dollars and was fined another 28 billion US dollars. He was also detained in a federal prison as a hostage.

It is conceivable that Binance will basically be a dish for America in the future. Various powerful figures in America will treat the currency as fat meat, and they will cut a batch every few years until it is completely eaten up!

Even places like Nigeria, seeing how flexible Binance was, couldn't help but jump out and threaten to fine Binance $10 billion. At this stage, it has basically become a dish that all powerful people around the world can have a taste of.

Why can those giant companies in America become the major financial backers of federal congressmen? They really have the means and are really brave enough to act shady. If they suffer a loss, they will still seek revenge even after twenty years.

Just like HP, which was scammed for $88 billion by Mike Lynch, Chamberlain and others from Britain. HP fought the lawsuit for more than ten years but lost in the end and did not even extradite Mike Lynch to America to serve his jail sentence.

Just after the trial results came out, Mike Lynch and his family were "killed" on their luxury sailboat near Sicily. The whole family was killed, but the crew on the boat were rescued. Another Chamberlain was hit and killed by a car while running. It can be said that he was accurately located.

No one knows whether this matter is related to HP, but it is estimated that after seeing the news, HP's board of directors finally let out a gust of anger that had been pent up for more than ten years.

Not only HP, but other American giants also have the power to overturn the table. This is also the reason why they, as financial sponsors, can sit on an equal footing with American federal congressmen. They really dare to make dirty moves and have the ability to make those who dare to cheat them pay the price. In the future, if Feiyan Technology or Dongling Hi-Tech also encounters the targeting of monsters in America, Li Dongling will definitely not let them rely on the thoughts of federal powerful people like Binance, and expect them to be "kind-hearted". It is better to find a piece of tender tofu and kill yourself!
When it really comes to the critical moment, Li Dongling would rather throw in the towel, just like the giant companies in America. After being cheated by Indians, they would rather burn the data and set the factory on fire under the pretext of circuit failure. Not a single screw is cheap to Indians. If Dongling Hi-Tech is really targeted in America in the future, it will use the same means. Alstom and Binance are already living examples!
At worst, we can learn from the fine traditions of American giants such as HP and wait for the right opportunity. Even if we have to wait for more than ten or twenty years, we must find an opportunity to let our main rival experience the experience of British technology tycoon Mike Lynch and his family riding on a homemade plane!

Only by taking thunderbolt-like means can you show your kind heart. Being afraid of the other party and blindly giving in will only allow the other party to press you step by step. A kind horse is often ridden, and a kind person is often bullied!
Li Dongling was naturally calm towards Reed, and he had no intention of trying to please him. "I remember that the Federation has regulations that everyone has the right to express their own opinions, as long as they do not violate federal laws!"

Reed shook his head. He was a lawyer and was very familiar with all the rules and regulations here. He smiled and said to Li Dongling, "The right to interpret federal law also lies in the hands of the federal court!"

After raising his knife and fork and gesturing a few times, Reid said, "If Himalaya Radio keeps making statements that displease the bigwigs on Capitol Hill, it may never make a sound again in the future!"

"What if Himalaya Radio can bring votes to Congressman Reed?" Li Dongling picked up the wine and took a sip.

Reed's eyes suddenly lit up, and he lowered his head to take a bite of the dish, but this attitude was just a pretense of reserve.

"It sounds like a good suggestion!" Reed cast an inquiring look at Li Dongling.

“Jolly Kings on Himalaya Radio has two million, no, now has two and a half million supporters!
There are many people who don’t like him and think he is an uneducated clown, but in the eyes of flat-Earth supporters, he has a deep influence and voice. He is currently setting up a flat-Earth association, and in the future his influence on flat-Earth supporters and his ability to manage this group will be even stronger!"

The purpose of establishing the Flat Earth Association was to reap the profits, but Feiyan Technology asked Jory Kings to be more restrained and not rush to reap the profits right away.

This association adopts a membership fee system, under the pretext that the money will be used to better research the flat-Earth theory, promote the flat-Earth theory, let more people around the world know the truth, etc. But in the future, it is hard to say who will pocket the money.

Li Dongling looked at Reed and said, "If Jory Kings and the American Flat Earth Association call on supporters of the Flat Earth to vote for a certain candidate... even if it only affects one-tenth of the supporters, that would be 27 votes!"

"Reed, you know, those supporters of the flat earth theory, well," Larson pointed to his head, "they are all fanatical believers. They are more fanatical and more active than those fans of Hollywood stars!"

After all, fans of Hollywood stars are just chasing their favorite stars, and fanatical fans are ultimately a minority. But supporters of the flat earth theory are different. They believe that they are pursuing the truth, uncovering the secrets hidden in America, and fighting for the truth.

After having "belief", the fighting power of the supporters of the flat earth theory is almost completely different from that of those Hollywood star fans!
Reed took a deep breath. When Jolly Kings had the ability to influence votes, he would no longer be a clown, but a guest of honor of powerful people in America.

As long as there are votes, let alone Jory Kings, even those fucking charlatans and cults in the federation who are doing evil things will have federal congressmen running over to cooperate with them, because the charlatans really have the votes of their believers!
Sometimes, when the votes of two candidates are evenly matched, thousands of votes are enough to decide the winner.

This is also the reason why there are so many charlatans in America. Because there are real people who believe in them, offer large sums of dollars, and are treated as guests of honor by local city councilors. With money and power, why would they be afraid that there wouldn't be people who would become charlatans?

"I think the podcast creators of Himalaya Radio are very willing to cast their votes and call on their fans to vote for Mr. Reed, who protected Himalaya Radio!" said Li Dongling.

"It's a vote for the Donkey Party MPs who support Himalaya Radio and defend federal freedom of speech!"

Reed clenched his fist, knocked on the table, and "reminded" Li Dongling, while at the same time he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

If the podcast of Himalaya Radio can really influence the votes, then it would be a great achievement for Germany to bring Himalaya Radio to the Donkey Party camp!

In America, where votes determine victory or defeat, even if you are really a donkey, as long as you have votes, you can become the mayor of a city. The importance of votes is self-evident.

You should know that there is more than just Jolly Kings on Himalaya Radio. There is also Toni who has a huge influence on housewives, a poet who was an engineer, and so on. These podcasters who come from ordinary people have a greater impact on industry practitioners.

"So, Reed, are you willing to serve as a consultant for Feiyan Technology and Himalaya Radio?" Larson raised his glass and asked Reed.

Reed shook his head first, then raised his head, "I really can't think of a reason to refuse!"

"However, I don't want Himalaya Radio to have too many problems in America. I don't like too many accidents to happen!"

Reed held the wine glass. He cared a lot about his reputation, at least at this stage. He didn't like dealing with troubles for Himalaya Radio every day.

"Of course. Himalaya Radio and Feiyan Technology don't like accidents to happen. We invited Mr. Reed to avoid any "accidents" from happening." Li Dongling also stated that he was invited to prevent those federal monsters from harming Feiyan Technology.

"hope so!"

Reed raised his glass, and everyone clinked their glasses together.
