joked Elton Sr.

Almost no one present took this statement seriously. They were still standing at the tail end of the consortium era. The lives of the rich were much more comfortable than those of the official high-ranking officials. Who would be willing to give up their superior lives and become a piece of clay to be molded by others?

Universal Pictures' chief operating officer, who had met Han Chudong, helped out by saying, "The last time I went to Dodger Stadium, I passed by Chinatown. The development there is really lagging behind. More money should be spent on infrastructure construction."

"Thank you very much. That's what I wanted to say." Han Chudong smiled at the Universal Pictures executive. He knew that it was not appropriate to talk about such topics, but someone should stand up and give suggestions. The Chinatown area has been forgotten by these city managers for too long and has never been taken seriously.

He wanted to use this opportunity to tell the candidates not to forget that the entire Asian community in Los Angeles still has about 200,000 votes, which are enough to influence the final election results.

Old Elton nodded and said, "I will go to investigate next week and try to provide all the help I can. Is that ok? Let's have a drink first and I'll introduce you to the other people.

By the way, did you know that Mason is planning to build a golf club on the top of Beverly Hills? When it officially opens, cancel your current membership. If you plan to play golf while standing on the high ground overlooking the city, you can contact Mason now. "

"Really? Then you must invite me to go on vacation."

"Allow me a membership too. I live in Beverly Hills..."

From being marginalized to gradually becoming a celebrity at the party, to be honest, Han Chudong is not used to this transformation.

But he coped quite well. When faced with those people who showed goodwill, he would take the initiative to exchange business cards with them. He quickly sent out more than ten cards and received more than ten cards. After handing them over to Arthur's assistant, Arthur's assistant would help sort them out and register them in the address book.

Like most other wealthy people, Han Chudong is also working to expand his network of contacts. For example, he is meeting with people from Metropolitan Life Insurance Company of the United States and quickly reached a cooperation plan to reduce employee insurance premiums, with lower expenses and better protection, and the scope of protection will cover the employees' immediate family members.

I also chatted with a wealthy man who was engaged in yacht rental on the side. I said that I would rent a yacht from him when I had time to go out to sea. I also met with the president of Citibank's Southern California headquarters to discuss the possibility of cooperation. The other party said that he could increase loan funds and release loans in a timely manner.

The more friends in the banking circle, the better. Han Chudong didn't want to rely solely on Bank of America, so he made an appointment to play tennis at the club when they had time.

Seeing how he socialized with ease, Kyoko Mochizuki finally admitted that the man standing next to her had indeed become different and had become one of the big shots.

I have accompanied Han Chudong to high-class parties before, but it was not like today, where we were greeted by waves of strangers who took the initiative to chat with us and talk about all kinds of topics.

There were many female relatives at the scene.

A certain noble lady even asked Kiko Mochizuki where she had her evening gown custom-made, and she replied that it was from Gucci, and also helped promote the company’s products.

Knowing that she was working in the fashion field, it became much easier to socialize with her. A bunch of ladies kept asking her questions, sometimes about Hollywood actresses, sometimes about which perfume was the most charming. They liked these topics.

The raging feminist movement is mainly carried out among young women. These women, who are generally over 35 years old, have already developed the idea that they just need to take care of the children at home and rely on their husbands at home. Their topics are very meaningless.

As for Han Chudong, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, three candidates took turns talking to him about how they would improve the economy and lower tax rates if they came to power, and they also vaguely hinted that they would seek benefits for Asians.

I rarely deal with this group of people, but as my status reaches a certain level, I have to deal with them. After all, once a certain tacit understanding is reached, it will be beneficial to both parties.

But he has no intention of betting on anyone, at least he will not intervene until the situation becomes clearer. Even if it is just icing on the cake by then, Han Chudong believes that the next mayor of Los Angeles will not rashly offend him.

I think I have some accomplishments in getting along with everyone...

——————————

I get to know more and more people and have more and more friends.

While managing the business, I was often called to attend various parties and activities, and before I knew it, it was July.

The three companies that obtained the cooperation rights have shipped a total of more than 8 million finished products from the facial mask paper production factory. In the second week of July, the disadvantages of having competitors have become apparent, and the sales of the ex-boyfriend series of facial masks have dropped by 30%.

The company lost due to its imperfect sales channels. Many rural markets were taken away by Procter & Gamble, Shiseido seized the Japanese and American markets, and L'Oreal's facial masks also targeted major global markets.

It has to be admitted that their facial mask sales soon caught up with and surpassed the retail sales of the Ex-Boyfriend series of facial masks. Han Chudong therefore began to think about acquiring the company and began to send people to negotiate with Maybelline in an attempt to take over their sales channels.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

The impact was greater than expected, but fortunately the newly opened market was large enough, and three companies purchased facial mask papers from him, causing Rainbow Beauty's net profit to increase instead of decrease.

The company suddenly became less eye-catching because it no longer had a monopoly product to help it expand its market and became similar to other beauty companies.

This is a good thing for Han Chudong, as it can avoid attracting a pack of wolves to attack him.

The gecko cut off its tail, exchanging its injury for its life.

As for Mason Private Equity Fund, the amount of funds raised has reached the target and it has temporarily stopped raising funds. During this period, Han Chudong also invested three sums of money himself, one in Intel Corporation and the other in AMD Semiconductor Corporation.

In addition, he also invested one million US dollars and acquired 40% of Nike's shares.

As for whether it can grow smoothly this time, Han Chudong was not sure, so he immediately sent people to contact Adidas and Puma. The founders of these two companies are brothers. Judging from the survey results, the brand awareness among young groups is already very high.

Han Chudong tried to invest in some companies and fields that did not produce quick results but had great development potential, artificially reducing the speed of making money and avoiding attracting too much attention.

In early July, a well-established electrical appliance giant called Whirlpool sent someone to contact Han Chudong, who was busy hiding his shares around the world, saying that they wanted to acquire Baofeng Electric from him as a whole, offering a price of 48 million US dollars...
