MTL - Treasure Hunt America-Chapter 1259 sharp turn
? They didn't even think that things had gotten to this point, and they didn't even know what was going on in the red river valley.
After all, after they proposed to build this high-speed rail line, there were too many people to join in.
For example, the nationally famous old railway company, because they have a lot of resources in the government, so Thomas and Petty, of course, will not refuse them, after all, this is a powerful alliance.
And considering the latter, their project may face counterattacks from the large aviation companies in the country, as well as automobile companies, or oil giants, so they did not reject this giant in the train freight industry.
With such a person, many people will come in immediately, such as some local tyrants in California, as well as the powerful, or the children of a certain motorcycle manufacturing family, although their family has not made motorcycles for many years now. , but after all, he has been entrenched in Washington for so many years, and he is still very influential in Washington.
With so many people joining in, of course, major fund providers, such as those on Wall Street, were originally an ordinary high-speed rail construction project, and then dozens of prospective investors came in one after another.
Later, Thomas and Petty found out that it was impossible to go on like this. If it continued like this, more people would join in in the future. At that time, they could not refuse at all, and the whole project would be out of control at that time.
Because there are too many people, it is not easy to distribute the profits when the time comes, so they have to raise the threshold for entering the industry, and even start to collect intention money from those tycoons who already intend to join the project, which is how to maintain the alliance. of stability.
In the early stage, the cost of dredging various joints is all the money paid out of this intentional payment. Before the project started, the intentional payment they received has already exceeded 200 million US dollars.
This made them complacent at the time. Even if the money was just a lobbying fee, it was enough to stun the members of the state legislature in Sacramento.
Except for a few rich ones, most of those grandchildren are actually just a bunch of poor ghosts. Giving them tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of political funds is enough to make their **** up.
At that time, Thomas and Petty, as the advocates and leaders of this project, also believed that this project was a pinch, and it would definitely be successfully completed.
As for the issue of the Red River Valley, it seems that when all the participants held a meeting, a major investor from Wall Street, an investment tycoon named Compton, mentioned it. At that time, the investment tycoon said that instead of In Santa Barbara and Basksfield, it is better to choose the line in the open space between the two cities, after all, the cost will be greatly reduced, and it will also be beneficial to the real estate development here.
He just said that, and then other investors agreed. Obviously, everyone was convinced of Mr. Compton's investment vision.
And the red river valley area is indeed a good choice. Now there are many satellite cities quietly emerging around Los Angeles, but those satellite cities are still buying ways to satisfy the growing population of Los Angeles.
If in that red river valley, a satellite city, a satellite city based on a high-speed rail transit station, is being built, it is indeed a very good idea.
And once it is built there, with the geographical advantage of the place, the properties there will definitely not be sold. At that time, many people simply thought about it and agreed to Mr. Compton's proposal.
As a veteran of real estate development, Thomas also thinks that what Mr. Compton said makes sense, although he also knows that it is not so easy to build a city from a wasteland, but who let these people here People have money, as long as they have money, let alone such a wasteland, even in the desert, they can build a city for you.
So Thomas and Petty also agreed to Mr. Compton's conditions at the time, and this matter was specially handed over to Mr. Compton. Although he did not ask for it, everyone felt that the Mr. Purton, surely this matter can be easily settled.
After all, this person is not only famously rich, but also has a lot of inexplicable relationships with Washington, and also has a lot of relationships with bigwigs in various states of the United States.
Originally, in Thomas' eyes, it was just a very simple matter, but now it seems that Mr. Compton did something wrong, or that the person he hired to do it was too unreliable, and he actually took this matter. It was stabbed in the media, and now everyone is sitting on wax.
Thomas is also scolding these damned news media. He seems to have forgotten that their family is the media themselves, and it seems that some TV and online media affiliated to their Hearst Group are involved in reporting this incident. .
Of course Thomas and Petty knew that those people were deliberately fighting against them. After all, they just accepted such a big group. Not long after, there must be many people who didn't want to go to them, and they were busy giving the group more money at this time. Make some profits, because only after they have achieved results can they take advantage of people to stand up.
After all, if you don't have any worthy achievements, you will use someone to make a move. This will shake the military's heart, not to mention that their position as the leader of the group is originally from a wrong path. They are most afraid of others asking about this. .
Now they see that some TV stations within the Hearst Group, as well as the Internet, and the print media are involved in this news report, and the two of them can't help but secretly hate. They were not decisive at first, and they directly called those guys who had dissent. expelled.
Well now, these guys have the guts to sing the opposite of themselves.
Thomas really wanted to scold his mother. At this time, he was calling his son Dylan. After all, his son, although many things could not be done, he still had the ability to come up with crooked ideas.
Unexpectedly, Dylan's phone could not be dialed, which made him very annoyed. His son, he knows best, usually likes to spend a lot of time and dare to mess things up.
When it's reliable, it will only be after he wakes up, and now he can't get through to his phone, which means that yesterday, the guy didn't know where he went to play, maybe he was still sleeping late.
And his estimate was really wrong, because at this time Dylan didn't sleep in at all, but hid directly in his own high-rise apartment in the center of San Francisco.
He did participate in a home party last night. He didn't know how much he drank and how he finally fell asleep. Early this morning, he was also woken up by the phone. When he picked up the phone and saw the time above, When it was only ten o'clock, he really wanted to scold his mother.
But after the call was received, he was dumbfounded, because before he could scolded his mother, there was a harsh scolding sound on the other end of the phone. After listening to it, it was actually his good buddy, his college classmate, Chris . Call from Furrell.
On the other end of the phone, Chris kept asking him if he had watched the TV news, things had changed, something happened over the Red River Valley, what about their money?
Dylan was bombarded repeatedly by Chris, and his head almost exploded. In the end, he was forced by Chris to hang up the phone. He wanted to sleep for a while, but he couldn't sleep and got up. He turned on the TV and saw what the news was broadcasting, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What is this?
Isn't the matter of land acquisition in the Red River Valley quite simple? What's the matter, it happened like this? That red-necked cowboy actually sued in front of all the news media?
I wiped, and in the end, I even shook out the matter of land acquisition for the high-speed rail construction.
Although Dylan is not as stable as his father Thomas and aunt Petty, he is quite aware of the power of modern Internet and news media.
Moreover, he is relatively young and has a better understanding of the various mentalities of modern people. This matter has now been magnified to such a degree that he just watched the news all morning and knew that this high-speed rail construction project should be yellow.
The emotions of the common people are so excited now, coupled with the constant agitation of those behind the scenes, in this matter, if the common people do not achieve their goals, they will definitely not give up.
And at such a time ~www.novelbuddy.com~ who dares to stand up and speak for the high-speed rail construction project?
If anyone dares to speak up at this time, isn't that a fool? I'm afraid that the governor, who was cooperating with his father, didn't dare to emerge easily at this time, right?
That old guy, I'm afraid he's not going against the water on TV, even if he's interesting enough.
Dylan quickly deduced the final outcome of the incident through the reports of various news media on TV. It seems that the high-speed rail construction project led by him and his father is going to be a tragedy.
But more importantly, if this project is unsuccessful, then he will be tragic, because before that, he had quietly engaged in private equity a few times in Silicon Valley. . .
This Dylan is, to put it bluntly, a prodigal. He has been in Silicon Valley for the past few years, but he has not made any money. Although several projects have been acquired, it is actually his father who is behind the acquisition. He was just trying to save face, so he didn't have half a cent, and he didn't have much money, but at least he got a little reputation in Silicon Valley. . .
And this also gave him a good opportunity to raise funds! (To be continued.)
