Chapter 515: Destruction is much easier than construc

He closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Maybe I can kill three birds with one stone.

Picking up the phone, he called Prince Nasser of Saudi Arabia.

The desert tyrants at this time are not the real tyrants who will earn 110 billion U.S. dollars a year because of the first oil crisis in the future.

On the contrary, because oil prices have remained low all the year round, Saudi Arabia has only made $23 billion in a year.

Moreover, in addition to the mining costs, at least half of the money must be used to distribute welfare to their subjects to maintain their dominant position.

In other words, the desert people at this time are indeed local tyrants, but they have not yet become rich enough to build cities in the desert.

What's even better is that oil prices are slowly rising due to the rise in gold. While making Saudi Arabia happy, it will definitely consider how to preserve the value of the extra income.

A good investment project is placed in front of them, at least it will be carefully considered, or it is okay to invest some money and try it first.

Since it wants to invest, the polar bear must not even consider it.

Then the polar bear and the bald eagle against Europa, the fiercest one, is not a good choice either.

After all the calculations, there is only investment in my country and the United States.

But several desert wars have long left people in the desert with lingering fears, so the country of America, which is one of the best in the world, has become the first choice.

Moreover, things in the future have also proved that people in the desert like to invest in the United States, and then live and live in London.

As a super customer of Li Changheng who did a $100 million business with Saudi Arabia, Nasser even regretted selling so much oil to him.

As a result, in less than a year, Li Changheng made at least 40 million U.S. dollars because of the increase in oil prices.

But people rely on their true ability to see the trend and make money early in the morning. Even if Nasser is unwilling, he will not even answer Li Changheng's phone calls.

Not to mention, if you didn't sell it at the beginning, South American and American people would definitely sell it too.

Therefore, when faced with Li Changheng's invitation to go to Phuket, Nasser only said to report to his father, but did not refuse.

An hour later, Li Changheng, who received the call, smiled and hung up and picked up the phone to inform Annie that Nasser would be a guest here.

When Anne called back to London suspiciously, and asked Meryl the butler to bring her servants and all the things she needed for the formal banquet.

Li Changheng sat in the chair and wondered how to fix that Francis Wood.

The U.S. volunteers serve a two-year term, and elections begin in November of even-numbered years.

This means that Francis Wood jumped out at this time in order to vote for 72 years.

To get votes, he has to take care of his own vote warehouse, that is, the group of orange farmers.

Of course, Francis's votes are not all orange farmers, but at least half of the people in his electoral district are engaged in this industry.

So basically whoever gets the support of the orange farmers is the participant in this constituency.

However, sometimes things are so impermanent.

Europeans and Americans like to eat sweets, so when Li Changheng founded the Panda Restaurant, his main focus was sweet and sour flavors.

To get the sweet and sour taste, apart from food processed with tomato sauce, Tso's chicken or sweet and sour pork tenderloin condimented, there are only orange chicken nuggets.

The geographic location of South Carolina is just south of North Carolina, and the north of North Carolina is Virginia.

So, things are so magical.

After Li Changheng called Jim Norwell's office in New York, he quickly got the information he wanted.

There are only two orange-producing states in the United States, one is California and the other is South Carolina.

The primary reason why this is the case is of course related to the climate.

Many places in the United States can also grow oranges, but the quality and sweetness of the oranges are not as good as South Carolina and California.

The second is that mechanization has slowly begun to be widely used, leading to the involuntary development of cost-saving intensification in the cultivation of crops in various states in the United States.

Over time, each state will have its own main agricultural products.

Therefore, Virginia, which mainly produces tomatoes, potatoes, and chickpeas, also has oranges.

But the quality is not as good as that of South Carolina, and the price is not superior.

So the Panda restaurant was just going to the wholesale market in Richmond to buy at the beginning, but after 161 stores were opened in Virginia and New York.

Of course, centralized procurement has greater bargaining advantages.

Calculated based on the average household consumption of almost 10 kilograms of oranges per day.

161 companies consume 600 tons a year, which is almost $400,000.

The money may not even have 1% of the entire South Carolina orange production, or even the 0.1% of California's.

But to put it another way, Panda Restaurant can use cost savings as an excuse.

Buy the orange orchard in South Carolina at your own expense, and even if you are willing to make freshly squeezed juice, you only need to sell it at a price not higher than the market.

It is guaranteed that Americans who like to drink fresh juice will increase the annual consumption of oranges at Panda Restaurant by 3 to 5 times.

The output of 4% to 6% will have much impact on the entire Orange Town market.

But if it is a catering company with a turnover of more than 230 million US dollars a year~lightnovelpub.net~ and the owner is still a super celebrity like Li Changheng.

Even if the blow is not fatal, the impact on reputation can be significant.

Once the reputation is damaged, it will cause the whole orange industry in South Carolina.

In other words, whether it is those who support Francis Wood or those who have not voted for him, he will blame him for the plummeting sales.

However, Li Changheng thought for a while, and felt that he didn't need to step down one of the righteous members directly when there was still room.

After all, if you really do this, it will be cool, but the gain is that a future will hate yourself.

And it will definitely cooperate more closely with the Gray Hand Party in southern America, and politicians who have in-depth cooperation.

Even if you don't even talk about it, you will die. There are more than 400 volunteers in the United States, and hundreds of volunteers will think so?

So, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to behave first and then pawn.

If it works well, you can pull this South Carolina volunteer into your camp.

But the ‘li’ in his thoughts is already very scary to others.

It took Li Changheng and Annie two days to prepare to receive Prince Nasser.

A fax sent to him by Jim, the operation director of Panda Restaurant, plus Li Changheng's own business card, was directly airlifted to Washington.

Sent to the hands of New York volunteers Gerald Sanders.

When Gerrard opened the mailing package, the first thing that caught his eye was Li Changheng's black gold business card.

Some happily put away the business card, ignored the letter, and looked at it directly with a note.

After reading and thinking for more than ten seconds, Gerald opened the two letters, immediately picked up the phone with envy and an inexplicable smile on his face, and called his secretary.
