Chapter 1401 Economic and Political
Morgan and Rockefeller could not bear it until Zhou Ming didn't know, but the governor of California couldn't help it anymore. He hurriedly called Zhou Ming and invited Zhou Ming to visit the capital Saramento, and discussed the issue of California's economic restart.
After receiving this call, the entire Tang family was very happy, believing that this was a major breakthrough for the Chinese group to get out of Chinatown, and that the governor could finally pay attention to them. Then the next plot should be that the Tang family relies on the governor to gradually master political resources, operate step by step, and finally grow into a veritable wealthy family in California.
The Tang family was hurriedly planning to go to Saramento, thinking that the Tang family could take this opportunity to make a grand plan soar, but Zhou Ming's reaction surprised them.
Don't go!
This is Zhou Ming’s reply to the governor, and there is no polite explanation, just a tough sentence that he will not go.
Everyone in the Tang family was shocked. The head of the Tang family's ancestral hall was also Tang Ran's uncle. Tang Jingsheng also came to persuade Zhou Ming repeatedly to tell Zhou Ming about the treatment of Chinese people being discriminated and excluded in the United States. He always mentioned that the FBI and the governor were not affiliated, but more like a cooperative relationship. Therefore, some things cannot be considered as a grudge on the governor. Besides, did the governor come to the FBI to save you in person?
Zhou Ming knew that Tang Jingsheng misunderstood that he was arrested by the FBI for no reason before and kept a grudge, so he didn't want to pay attention to the governor. Zhou Ming didn't want to explain anything about this, and it happened to be the same reason.
Zhou Ming did not explain, but the Tang family was very depressed because what they were thinking about was to leave San Francisco and become a veritable American wealthy family.
In their opinion, this is all because Zhou Ming is stingy, and even more because he is not a Chinese American.
At the internal meeting of the Tang family, many people were very dissatisfied with this: "Zhou Ming is too stingy, right? Wasn't he just arrested by the FBI once? What's the matter? And that time I heard that the US president gave him a pardon, but he was not satisfied. What else did he want to do?"
"I think he is clearly not concerned about his own affairs, so he won't care about the situation of our Tang family. If he doesn't want to, he won't do it. And I think he might be happy to see this, because in this way, our Tang family will become his vassal of Zhou Ming, and we will have to rely on him forever. He is very vicious. In the future, we may not be able to have the surname Tang, and we must have the surname Zhou..."
Shut up!
Seeing that these guys were talking more and more distorted, Tang Jingsheng immediately scolded them and asked them to shut up: "What are you talking about?"
"You think about it carefully. If Zhou Ming really wants to deal with our Tang family, how could he need such trouble? He directly withdrew his funds and investment in California, and our Tang family will be greatly damaged. There are some previous things. He has many opportunities to annex our Tang family's industries, but he has not done this. Do you have a conscience now that you suspect him so much?" Tang Jingsheng angrily scolded.
However, these young people disagree with Tang Jingsheng's statement. They were all those who were driven out of the Tang family and then brought in. They basically grew up in Chinatown, and they always had the arrogance of being the eldest and his second.
It’s not that they didn’t know about Tang Lin and Tang Yi before, but they thought that it was all because Tang Jingsheng and others were too cowardly, so they wouldn’t bow their heads to Zhou Ming!
Facing Tang Jingsheng's words, they said that it was just Zhou Ming's conspiracy: "Uncle Jingsheng, don't trust that Zhou Ming too much. Look at how many things he has done since he came to California. If it weren't for him, our Tang family might not have been involved in so many things."
Tang Jingsheng was so angry that he was glaring at him, and scolded him for being heartless.
Others blushed and advised Tang Jingsheng not to be so excited. They also said that the governor is willing to invite their Tang family to Saramento now, so that they can do things that their parents and ancestors cannot do for decades.
"Now the governor invites us to go to Saramento, because he has attracted the strength of our Tang family. In the future, we can enter politics. At that time, the only one who can control the entire California is Zhou Ming, the idiot who insists on being irritable and feels that he can't go if he is arrested. Did he think the governor is here to invite him? I don't know where he got the confidence that he didn't go. Did he think the governor would come here in person?"
These people talked about Zhou Ming and were full of disdain and anger, thinking that it was Zhou Ming's elm head, which made them lose such a good opportunity to get out of San Francisco.
But then, there was news that the governor sent a message saying that he would come to San Francisco in person to visit Zhou Ming.
Suddenly the room became quiet. All the guys who had sarcasticized Zhou Ming just now shut up because they felt a little confused and felt that the world was no longer real. Otherwise, how could the dignified governor come to visit someone who is ignorant? If you want to visit, should you also visit their Tang family and those of the leaders in Chinatown?
In fact, if possible, the governor did not want to come to San Francisco. It was not that there was anything wrong with San Francisco, but that he was too disgusted.
But the governor has to come. Now the stock market continues to be sluggish, California's economy has also been hit hard. A large number of companies in Silicon Valley went bankrupt, and even top mining companies like Moore Mining have begun to sell their assets at a low price. It is conceivable how severe the economic situation is. The governor is facing very great pressure now, and he has thought of many ways, but the results are mediocre. Until now, Zhou Ming has various acquisition activities throughout California.
Starting from More Mining, Zhou Ming's series of acquisitions in California and the final practice of releasing production capacity through international trade allowed the governor to see the dawn, so he thought of coming to find Zhou Ming.
The governor soon arrived in San Francisco, and when the governor arrived in San Francisco, Zhou Ming also prepared a grand welcome banquet for the governor.
This time, the governor not only came by himself, but also brought many well-known entrepreneurs from all over the world. The meaning is very obvious, he came to find Zhou Ming to invest.
The governor also understood that the economy in the entire United States continues to be sluggish, and the economic situation in California is also not optimistic. Many companies lack funds to overcome difficulties. They heard that Zhou Ming and Tangren Group are now looking for investment partners in the entire California, and he can help build a bridge.
Zhou Ming laughed when he heard the governor's words. He was so shameless that he could only be so arrogant when he came to beg for food.
However, Zhou Ming doesn't care about him as he is so arrogant. At most, everyone will go around each other, and he is not in a hurry anyway.
"Mr. Governor is so nice. I actually had the idea of investing heavily in California for a long time. There are many restrictions that I cannot ignore. If the governor is willing to make a move, then I do have an investment list here." Zhou Ming told the governor.
The governor was very satisfied with Zhou Ming's reaction and felt that this was what Zhou Ming should have. He also felt that these Chinese were indeed the same as he had known before. Although he had invited him in Saramento before, he still couldn't help it now as he came to San Francisco and brought so many wealthy families.
But when Zhou Ming then told the governor the company he wanted to invest in, the governor's face gradually turned dark.
"Mr. Zhou Ming, are you kidding me? You can also touch these companies?" the governor cursed angrily.
It turns out that the companies listed by Zhou Ming to the governor are military industries such as Skunk Factory, or some high-end industries, and these are non-sale products for China. This "toward China" is not just for a country, but also for all Chinese people in the United States and other forms of Chinese capital.
The governor then realized that Zhou Ming was just playing tricks on him, so he pointed at Zhou Ming's nose angrily and cursed: "I originally came with good intentions, but I didn't expect you to do these things. I tell you that I am the governor of California. As long as you are here, it's better to listen to me, otherwise I will make you regret it!"
After warning Zhou Ming, the governor turned around and assured his donations that people knew these Chinese very well and that he had a way to make them willing to take out the money and invest in them. They just need to draw up a contract now.
The confidence-filled governor panicked the next day because Zhou Ming did not invite him again the next day, and he didn't even call him again.
If it was just like this, the governor would certainly not be worried, but Zhou Ming then invited California Assemblyman Brown and a number of business owners in Los Angeles to the restaurant at the Tangren Bank Building and kept them for a dinner together.
This made the governor panic. He then remembered that his governor was not the only one. Brown was the opponent to compete with him for the next governor. If Zhou Mingzhen publicly supported Brown, with his current energy in California, he was afraid that his re-election would be very dangerous.
So the governor immediately took action, and he took the initiative to find Zhou Ming again. This time he never had the arrogance of the first time, but just discussed investment issues with Zhou Ming very seriously.
Xiaopin, do you really treat yourself as a character?
Zhou Ming was very disdainful of the governor's behavior. If he was in China, he would definitely be unable to take a governor-level official, but in the United States, there would be too many ways.
"Mr. Governor, don't do this. I still like your previous arrogant look of being beaten. Please keep it up." Zhou Ming said to the Governor.
The governor's face was extremely awkward at this time. He didn't know whether Zhou Ming was deliberately sarcastic or something else, so he could only laugh.
This scene caused a huge impact on the Tang family, and the young people of the Tang family were stunned. In their eyes, the governor of California was the most powerful person in California, and he never expected that Zhou Ming would be like this. Tang Jingsheng told them that this is Zhou Ming's ability!
In fact, the governor’s incident is just an irrelevant episode in the current environment, but Zhou Ming found that he seemed to have a very weak power in the American political arena, just like the Tang family, so he had to find a way to change it.
So later, Zhou Ming began to invest and donate to some political foundations in California and the United States. Not only could he control the American politics remotely, but at least he would not encounter the current situation like the governor.
