Chapter 217 Zhou Huimin's Tangle
There was no place in Africa in the 80s that was not chaotic.

Even in Uganda, which is an inland agricultural country, the plane that had just landed at the Uganda port airport was immediately searched by a large group of soldiers.

Tao Xi looked at Marco, who was standing not far away with a helpless face, and had to accept the search of these people.

"This is a place in Uganda that just came out of civil unrest."

"What does the civil strife have to do with him searching my pocket!" Tao Xi said dissatisfiedly as he watched the soldier with a strange smell put his hand straight into his pocket.

"I've told you before I came here that it's best not to bring any valuables here. It seems that you didn't listen to my advice."

Marko shrugged his shoulders at Tao Xi after seeing that group of soldiers took a pack of cigarettes and about 400 US dollars from Tao Xi's pocket and left.

This time, Tao Xi intends to carry out land acquisition and land development business in Uganda aboveboard.

So none of the group of burly men came with Tao Xi, after all, the time this time was extremely limited.

"Are you sure you want to invest $20 billion in Uganda this time?"

Marko took Taoxi to take the lead in a dilapidated Russian car and asked eagerly.

"Are you crazy, or am I crazy! $20 billion can buy me half of Otaru Port in Japan!"

As soon as Tao Xi got into the car, he slumped on the car.

In order to make the trip go smoothly, Tausi wanted Prince to contribute at first, but most of Africa is now a latent force of the Soviet Union, Europe and the United Kingdom also have some influence here, and the CIA has no sense of presence here. .

In this regard, Tausi had no choice but to wave the check in his hand and ask Noriega of Panama to come forward to introduce them.

The other party's request is also very simple: "a hospital, a straight road, and a factory" can carry out energy exploration in the place they want.

"That's right, it's a hospital, a road, and a factory without any requirements. As long as you meet these conditions, you can draw a circle on the map for construction!"

"Of course the ownership of the land is still theirs."

After Tao Xi heard Marco's introduction, he was stunned immediately because the conditions given by the other party were simply too simple.

Qian Taoxi, who had brought enough money, suddenly had no place to play: "How about we build him a road in the urban area? Usually, others cheat me, but suddenly someone treats me so honestly, I'm still not used to it!"

"We are the first foreign businessmen to invest in Uganda!"

Hearing this answer, Tao Xi was indeed a little embarrassed.

The map coordinates on the radio are not in the capital of Uganda, but near a lake in western Uganda.

When Tao Xi and his party got to the place and sat in the car for 4 days, it was the premise that the car was full of young people. If there were old people, maybe the old people would not die.

Moreover, Tao Xi encountered more than one highway robbery on the way.

Standing near the lake, Tao Xi looked at the surrounding dense bushes and the natives who occasionally showed half of their heads and said with emotion: "I finally know why they offer such cheap conditions. If I want to make good use of the land, Then I have to dig out a road from the land here!"

Marco, who was standing next to him, squatted by the lake and looked at the dense footprints by the lake: "We also need to solve the employment of the villagers nearby. If you want to develop here, it is impossible to rely on us alone."

Tao Xi stroked his chin and thought seriously about how to hype the oil under this piece of land.

The place called "Uganda Lake Albert Oilfield" by East Africa in the last life is a desolate place, and the nearest city is more than 300 kilometers away.

A city might as well be called a ruin.

Everything here is in vain, but in order to attract the attention of the Middle East, Tao Xi must find a way.

Scams like [Nicaraguan Mining Energy Group] can no longer operate.

Stocks with a market value of as high as 1500 billion are now less than 200 billion US dollars, if it hadn’t been for the success of Daniel of the Sanjie regime and the use of Nicaraguan credit as a guarantee.

The NYSE kicked the company out.

What Taoxi needs now is a listed company that can guarantee the land with its reputation.

The guarantee here does not refer to the guarantee of development, but the use of his company's goodwill to guarantee the oil production here.

For a while, Tao Xi really couldn't think of any suitable company.

Eh, no!

Suzuki Group, that is a good brother in Japan, and now Osamu Suzuki can't wait to wear a pair of pants with Marko.

Suzuki Group earned US$2 million in patent fees from Tao Xi simply by licensing patents.

The maintenance cost of a production line is 7000 million US dollars a year!
It's really dark, but Tao Xi likes it. Things that can be solved with money are not considered a problem, and Osamu Suzuki is also willing to help Marko establish an automotive research institute and an automotive school in Central America for talent training programs.

"Hey, Mr. Suzuki~"

Suzuki Osamu, who was eating sushi, heard that it was Tao Xi, the loser, and he immediately wanted to hang up the phone.

Others don't know who blew up the Yasukuni Shrine. How could he not know? If he wasn't an accomplice helping Tao Xi and his gang to cover up their traces, he would really sit up and report them.

"You guys are very courageous, Mr. Tao Xi, I hope you don't contact me if you have nothing serious!"

Tao Xi was not angry at all when he heard Xiu Suzuki's cold voice on the phone. After all, Xiu Suzuki was so old now that Tao Xi felt a little embarrassed for keeping people awake for more than half a month.

"Hahahaha, Mr. Suzuki, don't be angry. I know what happened last time made us unhappy, but this time I took you to make money. I know that Mr. Suzuki bought back a lot of Nicaraguan mining companies in private. shares."

When Tao Xi heard Suzuki Osamu's cold "hum" voice on the phone, Tao Xi almost laughed out loud.

You have to pretend to be disdainful even though you are very interested in the energy market. Are you tired?

"Haha, if Mr. Suzuki is not too tired, I hope you can come to Uganda to drink tea with me!"

"Mr. Tao Xi, my time is precious, I hope you can directly explain the whole story."

Marco was lying on the side and laughed out loud when he heard Osamu Suzuki pretending to be calm on the phone. This old man always does this.

It's the same as fishing with him, you come and go for a long time before he gets on the road.

"I dug out oil here, an oil field, but I may need your help. I remember that there is a construction branch under the Suzuki Group, and I will introduce you to the business by the way!"

"it is good!"

Tao Xi and Marco immediately laughed when they heard Osamu Suzuki's overly happy promise and answer.

Zhou Huimin, who came to the big city of New York for the first time, looked at the streets and high-rise buildings with constant traffic around her in surprise.

Fang Yihua glanced at Zhou Huimin who was with a country girl beside him and smiled: "Sisi, let's go, your life has just begun."

"Mrs. Fang, why did you let me and..."

"Break up, right? It's time to break up! If you don't break up, you will go back empty-handed in Hollywood. Tao Xi has a sister in Hollywood who is in charge of the NBA. She is very picky."

Fang Yathua couldn't refuse, holding Zhou Huimin in his arms, and walked towards the Barclays Center, the home stadium of the New York Nets.

A luxury Lincoln extended concierge car was parked at the entrance of the VIP passage of New York International Airport. Although Hong Kong's economy is far inferior to that of New York, it is the richest man in a place after all.

A luxury car is really nothing.

There were nearly six business cars behind the Lincoln extended concierge car, and the huge fleet of luxury cars caught the attention of the entire New York International Airport.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Huimin looked at Mrs. Fang with a complicated expression from the corner of her eye.

In the past, she had only heard that Mrs. Fang was very skilled in doing things, but she did not expect that Mrs. Fang was so strong that she interfered in her private life.

Although she and her boyfriend have been together for a long time, and they don't have much relationship, she is still very unhappy about the life controlled by others.

But soon Zhou Huimin was attracted by the movement at the entrance of the Barclays Center arena.

Pedestrians are everywhere at the entrance of the seemingly luxurious stadium. There are all kinds of beauties standing on a red carpet, and one of them has the most style.

Several people dressed in luxury items that she could not usually afford in Hong Kong gathered around the woman, but the woman walked on the red carpet with a proud face.

"That woman's name is Jin Xizhen, the apparent owner of the Los Angeles Clippers, the Clippers are also the most money-absorbing team in the NBA."

"No one knows about Jin Xi's past!"

"But everyone knows that this woman is not only the CFO of the Neil Group, but also the top socialite in New York's celebrity circle."

Zhou Huimin looked at the lively scene outside with a confused face: "But what does this have to do with me?"

"Heh, you will sit in front of her when you enter the stadium. You have to work hard to get to know her. Only by getting to know her can Shaw Brothers get the greatest help from MGM, you know?"

"It's already dusk at MGM now, but the reason why so many bigwigs in Hollywood are willing to give MGM face is because of the Neal Motors United Cinemas behind him!"

"The theater chain now has nearly 7000 screens and CD distribution channels in the United States."

"Although the single-screen revenue of each movie theater is not high, the Neal Motors United Cinemas has thoroughly eaten the rural people in the United States!"

"This is a typical case where the countryside surrounds the city."

"The most important thing is that this part of the box office in his hands does not have any conflicts with other capital parties."

"So, as long as you get Jin Xizhen's friendship and Tao Xi's friendship, Shaw Brothers will not only get the permission to export the 5 movies that Shi Nansheng said in the future. With you, Shaw Brothers Music and Shaw Brothers Movies will definitely be Hong Kong's first movie. One exists!"

Zhou Huimin was a little confused when she heard Mrs. Fang's words.

She used to be just an ordinary little girl in the countryside, how could she know about intrigues and battles between rich and powerful families.

But today Mrs. Fang
In Zhou Huimin's eyes, Jin Xizhen was like a shining star. Whether it was on the red carpet or in the stadium, the media and fans flocked to her as if desperately.

If it was a man, Zhou Huimin would also understand.

But most of those fans are women, and the media are generally women's magazines.

It wasn't until Zhou Huimin learned from an Asian that Jin Xizhen was a feminist organizer in New York that Zhou Huimin understood everything thoughtfully.

When Jin Xizhen, who was shining all over, sat next to her, Zhou Huimin's heart was beating very fast.

The sound of the DJ and the cheerleaders at the scene almost exploded Zhou Huimin's eardrums, and the shouts of the fans made Zhou Huimin feel like she was about to faint.

"If you don't like sitting in front of me, you can resist."

When Zhou Huimin saw that Jin Xizhen could speak Chinese, she was surprised, but when Zhou Huimin saw Jin Xizhen's complexion, she understood everything.

"It's just a job, you don't have to compromise."

"me."

"If my brother knew that he almost ruined a girl's life with a casual business card in Tokyo, she would feel guilty too."

"you know me!"

Jin Xizhen tidied up her bulingbuling skirt and looked at the score in dissatisfaction, and directly reprimanded: "Do you deserve the analysis that the fan think tank gave you all night? If you can't get the score back in the second quarter, your game All prize money for the competition will be cancelled!"

Zhou Huimin looked enviously at Jin Xizhen who was berating Fang Qiu on the court.

"Are you envious of me? I fought for it myself! You also need to fight for it, and my brother doesn't like girls who don't have their own opinions."

"Do you think that the reason why I became the most sought after woman in New York's celebrity circle is only because of my own strength? You have to have a brain!"

"Those women just took a fancy to my brother, a golden bachelor!"

"Although the title of the richest man in Los Angeles is not very important to us, my brother was almost named the richest man in Los Angeles by a boring magazine not long ago!"

"So you have to learn to use this name!"

"A man who may become the richest man in Los Angeles doesn't favor you enough for you to negotiate with your boss?"

Zhou Huimin, who was sitting in the first row of the stadium, looked nervously at the big screen of the stadium, which kept filming scenes of her whispering with Jin Xizhen from time to time, and she was a little nervous.

She was very worried that Mrs. Fang would also have a secretary who could see through the conversation between the two through the "lips" in Hong Kong movies.

Her sweaty palms kept grabbing the white skirt, and the originally clean skirt had many folds.

"Can I really?"

"Believe in yourself, although my younger brother is very fraternal, you can use his fraternity to win you a free space."

After Jin Xizhen said this, he walked to the side of the coach seat and whispered to the coach for a long time.

As the only team in the NBA that can set up a fan think tank, the Clippers' lineup and 50% of the game routines they attend are decisions made by the fan think tank.

Although because of NBA rules, the Clippers' lineup has not grown too fast in terms of compensation.

But when a lot of dollar bills are spent on them, it's good enough to make the playoffs every season, and every time the team loses a game, those off-court fans and those who can't enter the think tank Fans will only go after the person who suggested it last time.

For this reason, the 100 members of the think tank were replaced very quickly.

As for the fan representatives selected into the think tank, those who spend $50 on Neil's hot dogs per month will have a vote in their hands!

Vote, it's fair!

The small game that originally only affected 10 people has slowly evolved into a small game with nearly 100 million people.

Some teams with poor records want to follow suit, but they don't have the Clippers' $1 million a season in advertising.

It can be said that the Clippers with mediocre performance play the most coquettish operations and earn the most money in the league.

And the magazine that Jin Xizhen talked about wanted to use this reason to get Tao Xi, the boss, on the list. If it weren't for the joint threat of Panama Commercial Bank and Wells Fargo Bank, maybe Tao Xi would become the youngest Los Angeles on the Forbes list. The richest man.
