There are still more than two months before the end of the half-year restricted period of non-market entry and trading of original stocks.

In case the secret of the fake gold mine is detonated during the period, let alone making money, the original capital of Busan Mining will not be recovered.

Of course, there is no problem with direct acquisitions between companies.

But even if someone is willing to take over in private, the consequence is that the deceived person will definitely hate Francis and others, and will definitely face getting money back or even a lawsuit.

If you are forced to do nothing, no friends or partners are important for money.

But now that Frank was found, Francis and the others still had a glimmer of hope in their hearts, hoping that Li Changheng could help them.

And Li Changheng knew that many of the dozens of charitable funds behind Francis and others were in partnership with Francis and other politicians, rather than family funds fully controlled by them.

If these capitals lose a lot of money and they lose their own protection, someone will definitely ignore the power of the Senate and the former president, forcing Francis and others to lose face, and may even pull them off the horse directly.

So Li Changheng was not in a hurry before, he just waited for this group of people to come to his door, and then he took the opportunity to ask for benefits.

"What benefit can I get by helping?"

Hearing Li Changheng's meaning, Frank suddenly laughed, "There shouldn't be any problem with the approval of the Women's Council regarding the acquisition of Belford Investment Company by several consortiums.

And they promise that if you encounter antitrust trouble in the future, at least they will not stand against you.

Second, as long as Citigroup is willing, this group of people will become Citigroup's consultants. "

Li Changheng laughed after listening.

Don't look at the consultants who seem to have little power, and at the same time have little responsibility for the company they are applying for. It seems that if something happens to a consultant who is a politician, he will immediately disassociate himself from it.

But the rule that you have to do things if you get money, and you have to fight for the interests of your employers, in the circle of American politicians, still has a certain degree of binding force on politicians.

At least no politician is willing to easily bear the reputation of dishonesty.

And as long as the reputation is there, the influence of the politicians is still there.

Just like Zipperton, he owed 10 to 20 million US dollars when he retired, but as long as there is a company willing to hire him.

Then use methods such as writing books, giving speeches, and lobbying Washington for employers to spend a few years not only repaying the debt, but also turning into a billionaire.

In other words, once Citigroup hires them, it is equivalent to gaining the influence and connections of more than a dozen political figures.

For Citigroup, whose development momentum is obviously strong, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

It can even be said that in the fields of finance, military industry and defense contracting, it will have more advantages than most capitals.

Therefore, Li Changheng wants to fully control Citigroup. In addition to stabilizing various internal forces, he must also reduce hostility and suppression from external forces as much as possible.

Li Changheng is not worried about the battle in the business field, let alone afraid, but has enough confidence to win against other consortiums.

But he does worry about the formation of an external hostile force composed of power and capital.

The power of the United States is basically in the hands of the Senate.

Any senator is worth wooing, let alone those senior senators who have been sitting for several terms and have served for at least ten years.

Perhaps one day, some of these people will run for the general barrel election and actually succeed.

Therefore, Li Changheng was very satisfied with the conditions given by Francis and others.

After thinking for a few seconds, he said to Frank, "After you play with Jesse in Rome for a few days, you will return to New York to prepare for the acquisition of the investment company. Don't worry about other things, I will take care of it."

Seeing that Li Changheng did not intend to tell him how to deal with the fake gold mine, Frank hesitated for a while, and finally he could only feel depressed and stopped asking questions about it.

The two sat and drank a bottle of red wine, chatting and gossiping until after 1 o'clock in the morning before going back to the room separately.

The next day, Li Changheng personally called Francis and told them to wait for a week and wait for the call at any time, and then continue filming.

Borneo.

A cargo ship that had already been filled with thousands of wooden boxes docked at a pier late at night.

Within a few days, thousands of unknown forces walked out of the jungle with second-hand M16s and bullet belts wrapped around their shoulders.

The situation in Borneo quickly became tense.

Then the Busan Gold Mine was occupied by unknown armed forces, and the news that Asta and many gold mine employees were missing detonated the American media industry and Wall Street.

The stock price fell by half that day, and even fell below $20 at the lowest point.

Then some small and medium-sized media began to report in the newspapers that before the Busan Gold Mine was occupied, Asta ordered the use of explosives to blow up most of the mines, and even all kinds of mining equipment were destroyed.

The reason is to worry about those unidentified armed forces using gold ore for profit.

This will delay their failure, and even truly occupy the entire southern part of Borneo, which will cause Busan Mining to completely lose its gold mines.

This approach of Asta, in the eyes of many people, is not only in line with common sense, but also appears to be calm, decisive and far-sighted.

Many people even think Asta is a hero.

Then Busan Mining's stock price plummeted again.

Wells appeared in Singapore in Asta, after being interviewed by reporters.

Change the previous practice of keeping silent and not accepting interviews.

Began to actively lobby the United States to support the Borneo government, and even eagerly hoped in the media that the United States could send troops, or send an aircraft carrier formation into the southern waters of Borneo.

Li Changheng knew what Wells was worried about before, but even Francis and others who wanted to kill him and Asta knew that this was definitely not the time to kill him and Asta.

Because of some things, politicians are really not easy to come forward, and even once they come forward, it will have the opposite effect.

Countless Americans ~lightnovelpub.net~ who read this news know that Wells wants to use the power of the United States to get back the gold mine.

Shareholders and Wall Street institutions who bought shares in Busan Mining, as well as some ordinary people who felt that the United States had been slapped in the face, actively supported Wells.

Unsurprisingly, more people strongly opposed the United States' involvement in the Borneo dispute.

With the precedent of the failure of the Vietnam War, countless Americans are not willing to send troops to fight another jungle war in remote South Asia just for a gold mine.

Compared with the military spending of tens or tens of billions after the dispatch of troops, and the unknown number of casualties, the 1.4 billion U.S. dollars of gold buried in the ground is not worth mentioning at all.

As for the losses of major Wall Street institutions and ordinary shareholders in the stock market, most ordinary people don't care.

Since this is the will of the vast majority of voters, many politicians in the United States who have no interest entanglement, of course, will not miss the opportunity to win votes and appear in the media.
