Now that he guessed that Lamond's situation was not good, Li Changheng couldn't help but secretly smiled.

Then it occurred to him that Horton and the others were probably taking the opportunity to ask for benefits from themselves.

This time, my influence in the Senate and the House of Representatives helped solve most of the troubles, but there are still some minor problems. It is not obvious that I am telling myself to pay back!

After all, the last time this group of people ate meat was at the end of 1973, before the oil crisis broke out a year and a half ago.

Moreover, since the few senators who greeted me just now have helped, it is only right to ask for benefits.

Don't ask them to help in the future as much as this time, as long as these senators don't make trouble, it will be a victory.

Of course, it is more likely that this group of people will be the same as Horton and other 50 congressmen. After working together for a long time, they will unite and unanimously speak out on matters related to themselves.

He nodded to Francis, who should have taken the initiative to remind himself.

Then he smiled and said to Horton Mitchell, "Do you think it's the right time for Panda Restaurant to enter the West?"

Now not only Holden-Mitchell was cursing in his heart, but even several elephant councilors who didn't know Li Changheng very well but helped in this matter looked at him in surprise.

Then I thought to myself, this guy may not look young, but he is indeed a genius, and he is born to be a politician.

Since they wanted to try to use Li Changheng's hand to get Lamond down, they couldn't achieve their goal, Horton-Mitchell and others were actually not too disappointed, after all, they didn't think they could succeed at the beginning.

As for whether Lamond will make a 180-degree change in attitude for money, Horton thinks about it for a while, and feels that Lamond will hesitate for a few days at most and surrender.

After all, the biggest reason why I and others are eyeing Lamond is that his situation is not good. Do you know that the average annual profit of each panda restaurant exceeds 120,000 US dollars.

Then it is divided into half and half with Panda Restaurant, one is 60,000 net profit, 3 is 180,000, and 5 is 300,000 per year. This is a pure profit that is legal and can be used at will.

When the next re-election is already unstable, Lamond will definitely agree, and then put his hope of re-election on Li Changheng.

You must know that in this age, the average annual salary of a senator is only about 20,000 US dollars, the average annual salary of ordinary people in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles is only 10,000 US dollars, and the average annual salary of the entire United States is only less than 50,000 to 6,000 US dollars.

The purchasing power of 100,000 US dollars is definitely worth one or two million in the future.

Horton and other 50 senators and congressmen are all on Li Changheng's side on many issues involving Li Changheng, regardless of the elephant party or donkey party, because the money is not too much, but the stability can be maintained for many years Well.

As for whether Li Changheng would be angry, to put it bluntly, it was Lamond himself who jumped out to make trouble, and they were just fanning the flames at best.

And the one who spoke was Francis, who has a good ability, but it was still a small person with a small role.

If Li Changheng really wanted to take revenge on Horton and the others because of this incident, then he would be a fool.

Besides, the shareholders of Citigroup's board of directors wished to kneel at his feet one second, and then collectively tested the pressure for the benefit of the next second. It has not happened once or twice.

Li Changheng, who had already seen through the corners of capital and politicians, didn't take it to heart. Horton and others saw that he didn't show any anger.

I secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, when the boss was as wise as ever, he would of course accept Li Changheng's proposal of using the Panda Restaurant as a bait to hint that everyone would help deal with those opponents.

For Li Changheng, Panda Restaurant has been accumulating for two years, digesting the rapid expansion of 304 stores in four states on the east coast, and now it is indeed time to expand again.

Using the restaurant to win over some members of parliament will not only make it easier to negotiate with Saudi Arabia.

You can also take advantage of the 10% negotiation. There is a high probability that there will be a short-term decline in oil prices, which will lead to a short-term fluctuation in housing prices. When you buy a store at Panda Restaurant, you will benefit from a wave of short-term declines in housing prices.

They can also use California congressmen to protect the Panda Restaurant from being calculated by western forces for their own benefit.

In the end, he was able to win over and maintain the relationship with Horton and other East Coast MPs again.

Offer 100 Panda restaurants to Horton and others, on the condition that they will be opened in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and they will definitely deal with opponents like Lamond.

As for how to distribute this group of people, Li Changheng didn't care anymore.

No matter how useful Lamond is, he is not as good as the combined 50 members of the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party in the four states including Houghton, let alone nearly one-tenth of the two members of the Senate and House of Representatives. MPs allied with MPs to exert pressure.

I chatted with everyone about other things, and the time came to noon before I knew it.

Li Changheng was not in a hurry to leave, but followed Francis, who took the initiative to act as a tour guide for him, to the restaurant of the Congress to see what the congressmen of the US power center usually eat.

Seeing that Francis only ordered a sandwich, a cup of coffee and an apple, Li Changheng looked at the tray he was carrying, which contained 2 burgers, 2 apple pies, a box of egg tarts and coffee, and immediately looked at Francis with admiration.

And Francis probably guessed the meaning in Li Changheng's gaze, and explained with a smile, "I am Hispanic, I eat breakfast at six or seven in the morning, and bread or sandwiches and coffee at noon.

Lunch is at 3pm, coffee and dessert at 7pm, and dinner is at 9pm.

On weekends, dinner may be delayed until 11 o'clock. "

As soon as these words came out, Li Changheng became speechless. Isn't this a waste of time and easy to get fat.

Skipping the topic of eating 3 meals a day, or eating 5 or 6 meals, Li Changheng nodded along with some congressmen who greeted him.

I walked to an empty seat and sat down, eating a hamburger I hadn't eaten in almost 2 years.

Ten minutes later, the food was almost finished, and then he looked at Francis who had already finished his meal and kept sipping his coffee, and said, "We were in Horton's office just now, did you remind me on purpose?"

Francis smiled and shook his head~lightnovelpub.net~ Everyone didn't report much hope for this matter at the beginning. After all, among our 50 congressmen, about 20 of them are from the donkey party.

So we thought that even if you get angry again, you will put the problem with Lamond aside for this special event.

It's just that I didn't expect you to decide to win over Lamond so quickly.

As a result, the Elephant Party may have a lot of trouble when the new senator is elected at the end of the year. "

After Francis finished speaking, he shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, anyway, Horton and I still have two and a half years in office, so there is no need to worry for now.

So this time, it is not so much that I want to take your hand to deal with the donkey party, but it is better to say that I am asking you for benefits.

After all, there have been precedents for so many years. Everyone knows that when you go off in person, as long as you follow behind you, you can be full by just drinking soup. "
