"You think I'm stupid?"

"No." After Frank finished speaking, he stared at Li Changheng with an uncertain expression and began to think.

Based on what I have known about Li Changheng for so many years, this **** is really nice to his friends, and he is very generous in his actions.

But whoever thinks he is a good man is a real fool.

It is not the first time that he has plotted against him without paying attention for so many years.

So Frank said in a very positive tone, "It seems that while you are optimistic about Disney, you also think that Disney will really take off in 10 years.

Then I will buy more shares, and help you get the board of directors, and then when you really set your sights on this company and plan to buy it.

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

Li Changheng was not angry because Frank guessed his thoughts.

It would be strange if Frank couldn't think of all the things just said.

Moreover, his own purpose is not to control Disney. With United Artists, unless the two companies merge, the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages.

And if he can control the two largest public broadcasting companies in the United States with the help of United Artists and Disney, he will definitely have more say in the American media in the future than any media tycoon.

As for the controlling stake, it is the last thing to consider.

The anti-monopoly law in the United States is not a decoration. The most famous example is that Rockefeller and Bell Labs were broken down into seven telecommunications companies.

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

After suffering a few big losses, the big family of the United States has also learned to be smart. If it is not good on the surface, I will secretly hold the shares.

And you have me, and I have you.

Anyway, they all have shares, so they cooperate with each other in traditional fields such as petroleum, chemical industry, and machinery to maintain a situation of competition without killing each other.

Of course, the idea is good, and it has certain effects, but it is not that simple to implement it.

The interests of the management of each company are only related to the company's profits. When they fight with each other, they don't care about the shareholders' overall consideration.

-----

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 well. Gary's ideas are limited by the times, but he is indeed a very thoughtful person.

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

This road seems difficult in this era, but in Li Changheng's view, it is actually very easy. The key lies in which city and state to run for.

And he needs a congressman from a minority background, too.

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

Gary and Nick took the $5 million check from Li Changheng and started looking for buildings suitable for building luxury apartments in Queens and the area bordering Queens on the east side of Long Island.

Li Changheng not only fully accepted Gary's previous practice of helping blacks live in white high-income residential areas.

It has been further upgraded to help black people get Citigroup loans faster under the condition of mortgage.

It doesn't need hundreds of thousands to help, just need Gary to help a few black people get rich, and if the media follow up, then his reputation and influence in the African-American community in the United States will skyrocket.

Before African-Americans had the right to vote in 1965, the proportion of African Americans voting was only about 20%, but by 1969, the proportion was 61%.

And middle and high-income blacks are definitely the best source of votes during this time period of 75 years.

At the beginning, Li Changheng was really worried that his support for Gary would bring him some troubles, but compared to the easier way to push his own congressmen to a higher stage, a little trouble seemed insignificant.

And after Li Changheng thought about it carefully, he soon realized that he didn't really need to stand at the front desk.

There are actually very small Jewish people in the population of the United States. An interesting and feasible approach is to help African-Americans and Hispanics improve their social status since some whites dislike Jews very much.

Everyone stands up together, even if the interests may not be aligned, but it also brings more trouble to those white people who are racially discriminatory.

In a disguised form, the pressure on the Jewish people is reduced, and there are still opportunities.

So what Li Changheng has to do is even simpler, secretly sparking a big discussion on the status quo of ethnic minorities in the United States.

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

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

Now, no one cares about the real estate company founded by Li Changheng, let alone any politician or wealthy person who will jump out and accuse Citigroup of some preferential policies to attract blacks and Latinos.

As for Citigroup internally, as long as it can make more money and raise Citigroup's stock price, let alone give the same treatment to minorities as white people in service providers.

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

The only thing that makes Li Changheng helpless is that Citigroup still has a lot of scruples about recruiting black people to work in the bank.

But he is not in a hurry, and it is even more impossible to really become a saint. The purpose of doing so much is all for profit.

If you are busy with things, time will pass quickly. Two months later, Li Changheng spent a month with Ruan Mei on Hong Kong Island, and went to Island Country to spend another month with Yumiko.

After returning to New York, I met Gary for the first time.

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

Li Changheng took the folder, motioned for Gary, who was dressed in a suit, to sit down, and then looked at it carefully for a few minutes before nodding in satisfaction.

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

Once it is expanded into a high-rise building~lightnovelpub.net~, the income will be ten times or dozens of times.

And the 400 apartments with an average monthly rent of 220 US dollars can bring in a net income of almost 800,000 US dollars after deducting necessary expenses from an annual income of 1.05 million US dollars.

It took more than 6 years to get all the investment back. This is not a very good business in New York, but it is not too bad. After all, the real estate is still in the hands of the real estate company, not the apartment buildings that are rented.

Li Changheng's focus is not on this.

After chatting with Gary for nearly two hours about the real estate company, Li Changheng sent him away, and then took the company's income and the market valuation of 6 apartment buildings to ask people to go to Citigroup for a loan.

Tyler Garnell, the vice president of Citigroup who got the hint from Li Changheng, quickly took over the loan personally, and set up a very high level of confidentiality procedures while approving it.

In order to prevent the real estate company from being targeted by Citigroup's internal shareholders and external big capital before it really develops.
