Chapter 941 Encounter in a Bar

"Will they agree?" Because this matter is too important, Merbak is a little worried about gains and losses.

"Old Mo," Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, "Believe in our superiority, it's unstoppable; also believe in the IQ of the McDonald's group, the combination must be superior,"

"I don't think there's any problem," Buchanan said. "Think about it, they've already guessed our purpose, but they're still so enthusiastic, and from the very beginning, it's like giving us a big gift."

Isn't an order for millions of electronic pedometers a big gift?

"Judging from their attitudes, there shouldn't be any problems with our cooperation proposal this time. Are you talking about Merbak?"

It seems so.

"Fon, what do you think?" Merback asked.

Feng Yiping believes that at the beginning of Merbark's business, he was definitely not as worried about gains and losses and had no confidence as he is now.

At the beginning, he must have been vigorous and determined to forge ahead. However, when Coin Star has developed to a certain scale, he may mainly seek stability, or even be too cautious.

This is also a common problem of many entrepreneurs. At the beginning, they were barefoot, so they were not afraid of anything and could go all out. Later, the shoes on their feet got better and better, but the roads became less and less, and some roads were not even dared. Walk.

This is what is called the older the world, the less courageous it is.

"It's not that there are no problems," Feng Yiping said intentionally. Sure enough, he could feel that Merback suddenly became nervous. "I think the main problem may be concentrated in this business, and what percentage they are willing to give up."

"That's a problem," Merback said, too.

This is actually not a problem. Judging from the attitude of McDonald's, Feng Yiping has a rough judgment that they will at least sell more than 40% of the shares. The question is whether it is 64 or 55.

Feng Yiping's proposal to hold the shares by himself is both a test and a hope. Of course, it is difficult for him to hold more shares than McDonald's.

"It appears that while it looks like it's turned around last year, there's still a lot of pressure on Cantalupo," Buchanan said.

"They will be under more and more pressure in the future," Feng Yiping said. It won't take long for many people in developing countries who like McDonald's to reject the fast food provided by McDonald's and the fast food culture they represent.

"Fon, there's a question I can't figure out," Buchanan said. "Why do you think so highly of this black state senator from Chicago?"

As the company's top management in the United States, Buchanan is very aware of how much resources Feng Yiping has invested in supporting Xiao Aohei.

"What do you think of him?" Feng Yiping asked back.

Buchanan pondered for a while, "The method is still a little immature, but optimistic and confident, with excellent eloquence, contagious, and excellent learning ability,"

"Then do you think he is qualified as a politician? Is he promising?"

"The progress is very fast, but as a minority, I can't judge his future. As you know, there is no black senator in the current Federal Senate,"

"Maybe this is a big opportunity?" Feng Yiping smiled, "I just think he is very 'new' compared to those professional politicians, you know what I mean, as long as he can put this in the campaign I think he's got a lot of support and likes from a lot of people because he's shown that quality," he said.

More importantly, some people really seem to have the halo of the protagonist, and their luck is very good. After the almost humiliating defeat in 2000, Comrade Xiao Aohei can be said to be lucky from now on.

For example, this time in the Illinois senatorial election, he seems to be on the hook now.

As for domestic leaders, Feng Yiping has always adhered to the philosophy that he will never take the initiative to cling to, and he will never tie his company firmly to any leader, because he knows that there will be absolutely no good end.

But by chance in Chicago, he met little Ao Hei who was still in his infancy, and Feng Yiping felt that such a relationship was worth investing in and maintaining.

Relatively speaking, in the political and business circles of the United States, the transaction of money and power is less than that in China, and it is more difficult.

Domestic officials are more involved in economic issues, and the United States is indeed less in this regard. Of course, this does not mean that these politicians in the United States have noble ideas. They are mainly limited by objective conditions, such as the constraints of public opinion-those pervasive Reporters, but they dare to poke outside.

Another reason is that the digitization of US currency has been implemented for many years. In this country where you are suspected of drug trafficking if you carry 10,000 US dollars in cash, it is difficult to offer bribes with a box full of cash. Case.

As for bank transfers, please, even the supervision and the financial system of the whole society are not so perfect in China, they are not stupid enough to use this method, let alone in the United States?

Every transaction in the bank is clearly traceable, that is, the receiving party has a UBS protected account, but the transferring party still has many terms to overcome...

This is the function of the system and the system, making it very difficult to give and take bribes.

Therefore, Feng Yiping is not worried about being involved in similar criminal cases in the future.

Besides, the president of the United States still has a lot of power and can naturally create a lot of convenience. For example, as Musk mentioned, he can certainly decide on financial subsidies and interest-free loans for companies in the new energy industry such as Tesla.

Since there is such an opportunity to take advantage of the US government, why not make an effort?

"In short, I think that since you still have plans to develop in the political field, it is always a good thing to get in touch with people with such potential,"

"Thank you for the arrangement," Buchanan said. "We're on good terms now,"

At least he and Xiao Aohei's team cooperated well in the promotion of NEXTDOOR.

Feng Yiping thought that when Senator O'Hai Jr. ran for president, he must recommend Buchanan to his core team. Maybe he would be the White House chief of staff, or a minister or something.

Doesn't it mean that many consortiums and political circles in the United States have their own spokespersons? Feng Yiping also hopes that he can do the same.

"Mr. Feng, please let me know if you need anything," the driver sent by NAVTEQ President Collins said goodbye to the company's major shareholders while taking them downstairs to the hotel.

"Thank you!"

Feng Yiping looked at his watch, looked at the hotel building behind him, and said to the other two, "It's still early, why don't we go out for a walk?"

"Well," Buchanan agreed immediately, "I know a few bars here,"

Feng Yiping was a little disappointed. He really wanted to say that he was very much looking forward to seeing the art of pole dancing in the United States.

However, apart from his strong request, these two guys would not go to such a place with him, let alone take him to such a place.

…………

The nights in the windy city of Chicago have always belonged to the blues (BLUES).

Nowadays, in many places, BLUES is put on a gorgeous or elegant coat, but in Chicago, where it flourished, the situation is absolutely the opposite. This kind of labor chant that the black slaves in Mississippi yelled when they picked cotton in the early years is still so ordinary here and can be seen everywhere .

Leading Feng Yiping and Murback through the evening wind with water vapor and blues music, Buchanan walked to a bar familiarly, GreenMill, "You may not be familiar with this place, but you must have heard of it or seen it Movies," he joked.

"Al Capone?" Merback said.

"Hehe, yes, he was the backstage owner of this bar at the time. The underwater channel he dug under Lake Michigan in order to sell bootleg alcohol, ended in the basement of this bar,"

The business of this bar is quite booming. It not only recruits people, but also collects entry fees. It seems that this is not the first time Buchanan has brought them to the bar, "Feng, don't just drink beer. When you come to Chicago, you must try this place." cocktails,"

"Three martinis," he snapped his fingers.

The taste of martini is different everywhere. Maybe this bar has a history of gangsters, so they make it particularly spicy and sharp.

However, under the dim light of the bar, all kinds of wine reflected faint light in the warm glass, and in the low blues, breathing the air filled with all kinds of alcohol, suddenly there was a feeling of being slightly drunk .

Buchanan and Murback didn't stay with Feng Yiping for a long time, but they found someone to strike up a conversation with, leaving him alone in front of the bar.

He is not very willing to strike up a conversation with someone, but it is quite difficult to wait for someone to strike up a conversation with him. The girls in the bar are all authentic Westerners, and the aesthetic concepts of the East and the West are very different. If Yiping wants to attract attention, he probably has to take off his shirt and only wear a vest to show off his 8-pack abs.

Well, the original intention of coming to the bar was not for an affair.

However, seeing those two guys chatting happily with a woman with a decent figure each, he felt for no reason that this martini seemed to be a little bit bitterer.

"A glass of lover's martini," a long-haired girl squeezed beside her. Hearing the voice, Feng Yiping felt familiar, and the scent seemed familiar, too. That girl also turned her head, with surprise and disbelief on her face. "Feng?"

"Emilia?" What a coincidence!
