Chapter 1347 Keep a Low Profile

Golf and baseball can be said to be two sports with very clear group divisions in the United States, no matter how many young people like the passion of baseball. When they get older and start to take charge of the family business, they usually say that they are baseball fans, but usually, whether it is sports or leisure, they will focus on big golf.

So in the United States, the place where rich people gather is not necessarily at banquets. Many people go to banquets to discuss business. If you want to see the real rich, you have to go to golf courses and horse farms, because these two sports are not affordable for poor people.

The Kennedy family is very famous in the United States. After all, it is one of the top politicians. However, Abel Kennedy is not very famous in the United States, and there is not even any spotlight, even though he is the boss of a company with assets of nearly 12 million US dollars.

There are many multimillionaires in the United States, and almost all Hollywood big names are, so multimillionaires in the real industry are not so eye-catching, especially when he deliberately keeps a low profile.

Although the Kennedy family is very famous in the United States, not all people with the surname Kennedy in the United States are from the Kennedy family, so Abel's low profile has not attracted much attention.

"You play very well, at a professional level. If you are contacted, you can definitely participate in the competition." Abel praised Yang Dongxu while watching him swinging the club.

This is not flattery, but it really feels that he plays very well, especially after seeing Yang Dongxu's movements are a bit stiff, but each swing is very powerful and accurate, what is this? This is a complete talent.

"I exercise regularly and control my physical strength better than ordinary people. So forget about playing professionally." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

Kennedy's activeness in business and media in recent years seems to have made some people smell something. So this time Yang Dongxu did not plan to meet old Kennedy, and the Kennedy family seemed to mean the same thing.

Recently, Cornelia has been gradually alienating some Chinese companies that have raised her value before, and has moved closer to some European and Japanese brands in terms of endorsements.

In terms of commercial endorsements, Yang Dongxu has the championship team 76ers and the giant Barcelona, ​​so it is easy to get Cornelia some other endorsements.

For example, when the big-name stars in the team take on some endorsements that require male and female protagonists, they say that they want to cooperate with Cornelia. As long as Cornelia's asking price is not too excessive, basically the cooperation endorsement with the ball can be won.

After all, the stars want to enter the fashion circle and break the barriers of sports goods. Beautiful female models in the fashion circle like to stick to the ball, which is very common and not unexpected news in the United States.

Therefore, Yang Dongxu picked up Abel instead of old Kennedy when he came to the United States this time. The two did not meet in any big city, but in a city like Detroit that has begun to decline and people have forgotten.

"That's much better than ordinary people." Abel said with a smile, and then said: "Do you think I will have greater achievements in business?"

The Kennedy family is not short of money, but it is short of big money. There is a lack of channels to transform big money into influence on the military. Capital pays attention to society. The politician group is certainly highly regarded and has a wide network of contacts, but the consortium is the group of people standing at the top of the pyramid.

"Everything has bottlenecks when it develops to a certain stage, and I am here to break this bottleneck, so I came here." Yang Dongxu said with a smile.

"Yes, you can indeed break this bottleneck." Abel nodded, feeling a little sad.

Everyone knows that accepting funding from foreign forces is the Achilles' heel of many politicians. If it is not done well, the family may fall apart. But if Yang Dongxu's funding is not accepted, it will be difficult for the Kennedy family to turn over again.

Even the entire family may die in silence. Except for the connections left by the older generation, they are really about to have nothing, so the barefoot are not afraid of the wearing shoes. Since you want me to die, I who don't want to die will naturally strive for everything possible to survive.

"How is the Kennedy family's layout on the Internet?" Yang Dongxu asked.

Compared with the fact that the real industry has been basically divided into cakes on the plate of the chaebol by various controls, the emerging industry is undoubtedly the outlet for the Kennedy family to break through the blockade, and the Internet is the fastest among the emerging industries.

"We have acquired some shells and established several small companies. Basically, the assets are all below 1 million. There are basically no companies with tens of millions. The largest company now has assets of just over 5 million." Abel said.

"It's a bit slow." Yang Dongxu was a little disappointed.

"There's no way. The Internet is not actually an emerging industry in the United States, although it is very fast and looks like an emerging industry. But because capital circulates very quickly in the United States, profitable projects need to be developed by the consortium. And the Kennedy family has too many constraints in order to distance themselves from these companies." Abel said helplessly.

Some people don't mind the Kennedy family's wealthy life, but there is a blockade of the upper limit in business. It is difficult to break through this blockade without using the Kennedy family's political influence.

And if political influence is used to label this enterprise with the Kennedy label, it will be more difficult for this enterprise to grow, and even if it has a little intention of becoming bigger and stronger, it will instantly have to go bankrupt for one reason or another. This is a vicious circle.

“Find a suitable shell, recruit some reliable people from Wall Street, and then invest in YouTube, an Internet company that has just become popular this year.

I am an angel investor in this company. Although the shares in my hands have been dispersed and concentrated in the hands of the Mecha Offshore Company, my Chinese identity and background have been downplayed.

But if you hold too many shares, when the oil pipeline becomes more and more dazzling, there is a risk of being discovered. Therefore, I will gradually reduce my holdings in offshore companies with higher risks along with oil pipeline financing.

I hope you will take over these, and in addition to the shares I have reduced, you also need to increase your shareholding proportion through each pipeline financing, so as to control this company silently. "

"Are you very optimistic about this company called Oil Pipeline?" Abel asked.

“If nothing else happens, this will be the world’s largest video downloader and uploader, as well as one of the largest Internet news portal companies in the next few years.

However, this kind of website has no successful examples to learn from, plus it has its own constraints. Its influence will be great, but the overall capital is certainly not comparable to the current rise of Internet companies such as Google and Amazon.

But there are natural advantages in the Internet media port, which is what we need. Therefore, its existence cannot be measured by simple capital. "

"Understood." Abel nodded, "How much does it cost to raise funds?"

If there are no media resources in the United States, both businessmen and politicians will be at a huge disadvantage. Because you can't publish many things, even if you encounter unfair treatment.

Therefore, mastering a part of the tongue is a big thing that many big people who want to go further must do. However, the territory of traditional media has been clearly divided. In addition, many media giants are almost always backed by large consortiums. The Kennedy family has no way to get involved, so the Internet news port has become the best choice.

"The first round of financing is US$20 million. In order to hide it from others, we can first attract some investors from Wall Street. I will provide the money, so you don't have to worry, but the money needs to be legalized to a certain extent.

We can't let it have traces of my company on it. Although my investment company has diluted the brand of China, you need to bleach the money again in order to be more safe.

Lest those people discover anything and affect our subsequent plans. As long as financing is in place, oil pipelines will quickly become popular. We must be careful and careful. Otherwise, the oil pipeline may be stillborn, and the other party will soon create a replica. "

Abel's face became serious, "I will do this myself."

"I will contact several former financial oligarchs from North Russia to cover you. These people hold a lot of money and want to make various investments in Europe and the United States to ensure that their property will not shrink. They can help us block a lot of eyes. ”

"That's a good idea." Abel laughed.

The United States is indeed wary of Northern Russia, who was once the world's biggest enemy. But for the fleeing financial oligarchs and those North Russians with huge assets, many people in the United States are very friendly.

Because these people have money, or are very rich. If they spend nothing but spend their life to enjoy their old age, so much money will become dead money and will not be able to bring more benefits.

Therefore, the US government extremely welcomes and even encourages these people to invest in the United States and use the money to promote the economic development of the United States. After all, they can no longer return to Northern Russia. They cannot be considered Northern Russians. The more they invest in the United States, the more they will be tied up.

After this matter was settled, Yang Dongxu said another thing: "If the celebrity governor holds a banquet, I hope he can invite Bieber, the honorary mayor of Hollywood. Bieber is preparing to run for Congress in California."

"It's not a big problem." Abel nodded.

It is normal for a superstar to invite the honorary mayor of Hollywood when hosting a banquet. So the focus of this sentence is the following sentence about the congressman's candidacy.

As for the number of congressmen, as one of the top politicians in the United States, the name of a congressman is indeed not a big problem.

"His goal is to become a member of Congress and then completely transition from the position of honorary mayor of Hollywood to a political career." Yang Dongxu continued.

"I will try my best to arrange it." The number of members of Congress is limited. Although the Kennedy family still has a say in this aspect, if they join Congress, they will use more resources.

"Don't worry about the latter part, let's see how he performs. Haina is ready to let the film industry take root in Hollywood. His becoming a state legislator is the beginning of cooperation. Whether it can make further progress depends on the development of Haina's film industry." Yang Dongxu put things into perspective. Further roll call.
