Wall Street sounds grand, and all kinds of data and models used to predict the economy and stock market are enough to scare any layman, but as long as we look at it in ten or fifty years, what fund managers and investment consultants care most about is actually Or a network of news and relationships.

As soon as the market heard that Li Changheng had bought more than 150,000 acres of land in Ohio, people immediately gathered intelligence.

Soon the media broke the news that there are four largest distribution areas of shale oil in the United States.

The first is Texas, the second is California, the third is Wyoming and South Dakota, and the fourth is on the west coast of Ohio, Kentucky and West Virginia.

After this report came out, even ordinary people understood that Li Changheng must have seen the cheap land in the mountains of Ohio, and unscrupulously used his own financial advantages to hoard a large amount of land to try his luck.

Once it is found that there is shale oil in a certain farm or ranch, the value instantly soars dozens of times, hundreds of times.

It is equivalent to earning all the investment back on one piece of land, and the probability of luck for more than a dozen pieces of such land is actually very high.

Even if these lands are purchased in a planned and prepared manner, it means that Li Changheng alone can control more than 20% of the shale oil reserves on the west coast.

Someone immediately wrote a column about it, and the value of all the land in Ohio suddenly went up.

Li Changheng drove with bodyguards and quietly appeared in the small town where he met Barney back then.

The purpose of coming here is very simple. If you want to protect your own interests, the most direct and simple way is to win over the local forces.

And this is Ohio, a place where you can buy big drums casually.

A pistol, a shotgun, and a shotgun are standard equipment.

Even if the state government offends the locals, these people dare to shoot at the state police with weapons.

Under the guidance of Li Changheng, the convoy stopped in front of a three-story villa with a garden.

At a glance, Li Changheng saw Sheriff Will, who was obviously much older.

Pushing open the car door, seeing that it was Li Changheng, Will turned his head and shouted into the room, "Bredo, Bredo, come out."

A little boy who looked like 7 or 8 years old pushed the door and walked out with a puzzled face.

Will shouted excitedly, "Bredo, I said I knew Henry Lee, and now Henry is in front of us, you should believe it."

Li Changheng rolled his eyes after hearing this, but this is also the reason why he has not worried that Will will talk nonsense for so many years.

In fact, there are too many examples of this kind of misidentification of relatives and friends. After I became more and more famous and richer, there are too many examples in the United States.

Unless there are photos as evidence, even reporters will not believe it.

Looking at Will, who has gained a lot of weight and is about to go bald, Li Changheng smiled and waved, "Long time no see, Sheriff."

Hearing Li Changheng's greeting, Will finally realized that the young man in front of him, who didn't seem to have changed much from a decade ago, was no longer in the same world as him.

"Okay, long time no see, Henry."

Looking at the bewildered Will, Li Changheng smiled and pushed away a meter away, blocking his guard with his body.

Walking up to Will, he reached out and hugged him.

And his actions not only stunned Bredo, who should be Will's grandson, but also surprised the surrounding town residents who came out because of the convoy.

This is the richest and most powerful man in the world.

Moreover, he is also the hereditary earl of England, the husband of the princess, and actually knows Will, the sheriff of an ordinary town.

Of course, when Li Changheng came to the town, there were not many people who met him.

But just met once or twice, one or two years is enough to make these people's memory blurred.

It was only Will and the policemen from several police stations. Because they had been in contact with him a lot, and because they had hunted down Barney who hid in the mountains, they would not believe him even if they wanted to forget.

Li Changheng let go of Will, looked up and down with a smile, and said with a smile, "Sheriff, it seems that you should have lived well these years."

Will laughed when he heard this.

Looking around, he whispered, "I earned tens of thousands of dollars from you back then, and it really made my life a lot better.

And after you successfully landed on the moon, one day I read in the newspaper that you bought Intel, so I tried to follow you and bought Intel stock.

Unexpectedly, after only 6 years, it has increased by 16 times.

After that, I bought all my money into Citigroup. After two years, I made less than 4 times the profit. Seeing that you swallowed hl media again, I bought all the money in this company's shares.

After more than ten years, the 20,000 US dollars invested that year has now exceeded 8 million, but I have never dared to use this money. "

Li Changheng was immediately surprised by Will's operation.

"I'll help you figure out where the money comes from."

"No need", Will immediately knew that Li Changheng had misunderstood, "It's been more than ten years since the money was paid back then, and I have already made it clear to the tax bureau about the source.

The reason why I didn't dare to use it was because I didn't want to become the target of some idiots, and I didn't want to move away from the town, so I didn't dare to move it.

Moreover, I only have one daughter and grandson. Although I have had several girlfriends over the years, I have never remarried, and there are not many places to spend money. "

Li Changheng smiled and nodded, and then looked at Bredo.

The little guy's face turned red with excitement, and Li Changheng greeted the little guy with a smile.

The more Will cares about this grandson, the easier it is for him to restrain him.

Immediately, the previous goal of pushing Will to be the mayor of the small town was replaced by pushing him to be the state councilman.

Moreover, the decline of the Great Lakes industrial zone can also be used to push the United States to impose sanctions on island countries.

Even if it fails, it's just a waste of money, and the resources of hl media group in Ohio.

Anyway, I didn't have any political resources in Ohio before, and the media resources of the HL Group have always been placed on the congressman of the elephant.

Now it's not a loss to set aside a part to train our own people.

"Would you like to run for state legislature?"

Will was taken aback~lightnovelpub.net~ He thought that Li Changheng came to him just to reminisce about the past, or to use himself as a local snake to help him solve some troubles.

But he didn't expect that the opponent's goal was far bigger than he imagined.

However, if you think about it carefully, this is normal.

Ten years ago, Will would never have dared to agree, but for so many years, because of the soaring wealth, the worth of 8 million US dollars has given Will more confidence than before.

Coupled with the ability to endure the 8 million US dollars all the time, not to mention how smart Will has become, but his patience and forbearance skills are definitely not low.

With the support of Li Changheng, it is equivalent to having huge funds and exposure.

Coupled with the low-level contacts that Will has built up over the years, he has a better understanding of what traditional farmers and herdsmen want. With the help and advice of the election team, Will quickly decided to take the low-level route.
