Chapter 269 The Good-Face Tao Xi
chaebol fight
congressional embarrassment
It is still very rare for the scandal of one's own affairs to be made known to the whole world by Murdoch, a news tycoon.

After all, at the entrance of the Panama Canal and Suez Canal.

A huge flag clearly marked that nearly 30 large companies in the United States and ships under the banner of cross-companies are not allowed to enter.

Although many people watched all this happen with the mood of watching the excitement.

But many people couldn't help but start to treat Tao Xi, a rising star, seriously. At first, these American chaebol tycoons simply thought that Tao Xi was just a poor man who stood up with the support of old Shay.

but until
These chaebol tycoons saw that the originally industrious dredging boats on the Panama Canal and Suez Canal turned into heavily armed stormtroopers boarding the boats from time to time to search the goods carried by passing ships.

they all froze

What surprised them the most was that neither Egypt nor Panama acquiesced in their behavior.

When some investigation companies began to investigate the background of [Panama Shipping Company], everyone was stunned by Taosi's large investments in Egypt and Panama.

The old Soviet buses that can be seen everywhere are marked with the name of [Delorie Bus Company].

As long as you can see a slum being demolished in Cairo, it must be an apartment house or a pigeon house house donated by [Panama Commercial Bank].

If we talk about basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation, Taosi accounts for two things. The employment rate in Egypt has dropped by 1% due to the existence of Taosi.

A motorcycle assembly factory plus a food factory and a large stretch of Neil Farm on the outskirts of Cairo instantly stunned the group of investigation companies that had been keeping their eyes on the Middle East.

As for Panama, the Chinese construction workers along the coast will tell you that their client is [Panama Shipping Company].

The large-scale construction and real estate financial leverage has brought Taosi’s [Panama Commercial Bank] to the extreme. As long as you can have a [operating license] on the coast of Panama, you can get a house with a loan from this license.

The perfect economic internal cycle made Lawrence DuPont a little uncomfortable after seeing it.

"Are you sure you're not joking with me, their construction speed is so fast?"

Lawrence squatted on the satellite blueprint of the room and looked at the densely packed buildings and migrant workers above, his mouth was so big that he couldn't close it at all.

"Then what did Congress say? Didn't Tao Xi violate the principle of commercial competition?"

"Or sue them under the trust bill?"

The CEO of the DuPont Group standing at the door replied with an embarrassed face: "California also has a lot of members in the upper and lower houses of Congress."

"And the boards of Boeing and Pan Am have been shaken!"

"The union put a lot of pressure on them. More than half of them have given up their jobs. As far as I know, Copa Airlines promised them a job closer to home with better wages. Boeing Group The research institute was poached by Tao Xi for many high-tech talents."

Lawrence Dupont's face became calmer.

People around him knew that he was getting angrier in his heart: "Old Shay refused to answer my call today. It seems that the news that Old Shay retired in 95 is true!"

"Yes, and I heard that the ****'s heir has gotten very close to Tao Xi recently, and it seems that old Morgan has plans to let Tao Xi marry his daughter."

Lawrence Dupont was silent when he heard this series of news.

Because the facts were in front of him, in Lawrence's mind, there was nothing in this world that could not be fixed with money, but today he realized it.

Tao Xi has enough courage!
In order to exhaust the raw materials under the DuPont Group, Tao Xi spent huge sums of money to buy shares in four large shipping groups in just one week. He is not afraid of simply competing for financial resources.

But Tao Xi is wicked!
The coastal ports of Japan and Central America are not allowed to berth as long as they have consigned DuPont Group’s goods, and even those local tyrants in the Middle East have begun to waver.

Because Tao Xi tightly pinched the oil transportation radius of those local tyrants.

As the world's largest oil importer, the United States will earn less money if they take a day off. If they can't take a shortcut to enter the coast of the United States for oil loading and unloading, then the United States will change buyers.

The oil tycoons who are rolled up inside are secretly competing with each other. No matter how much oil a DuPont group digests, will there be more wars?

Lawrence DuPont, who failed to make a plan, began to use the shortage of raw materials in his factories to put pressure on Tao Xi, but Lawrence forgot that since there are war factions in Congress, there are also peace factions!

The California congressmen who had always advocated foreign wars changed their flags overnight and merged with the peace faction.

There are no permanent enemies, only temporary interests. After this prestigious person spoke out, the big man behind Lawrence really hesitated for a long time.

"Peace talks!"

"Lawrence, I know you have helped a lot, but I just hope that everything in front of me is peaceful. The suspension of the Panama Canal has affected my interests."

"I want you to think about it."

"If you agree, I will arrange a sumptuous banquet for both of you in Washington!"

Lawrence Dupont hung up the phone with a purple face and didn't say anything.

But Tao Xi, who was far away in California, met his dear Mr. Jeffrey Kyle.

"Hahaha, I knew you were coming, but I heard from Hill that you have been taking people to his place for investigation in the past three days!"

Geoffrey Kyle is no longer the former police chief.

He looks like a successful person. Since he became the governor, although California's deficit is still very high, the rapid development of the Neal Group has really solved a lot of troubles for him.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, let me see the big shots who dare to wrestle with the DuPont Group now!"

"Whether he has four legs or two heads."

Geoffrey Kyle was joking with Tao Xi with the expression of an elder seeing the younger generation, but Sophie Marceau was very well-behaved and served tea and water without taking a break.

"Don't, don't!"

"You must have been called to be a lobbyist for you. I've just started, and you're messing with me like this. When DuPont messed with me, the members of Congress were all pretending to be deaf and dumb."

When Jeffrey Kyle saw Tao Xi's unconvinced expression, he went up and patted the back of his head.

"Tonight's Washington dinner, you have to go even if you don't!"

"Otherwise, when your godfather brings Jin Xizhen over, I'll have to talk about it."

Tao Xi, who shrank his neck, still remained silent.

"It's not a big deal to stop the Panama Canal for three days, but if you make the hawks in Congress hate you, how will you earn Congress's military purchase money in the future!"

"Go easy! Old Shay has the upper hand now."

It's not the first time White House Tao Xi has come

Tao Xi came here for the last congressional arms purchase promotion meeting.

But it was the first time for Tao Xi to come to the White House Banquet Hall. The security guard at the gate bowed first when he saw Tao Xi.

I don't know if it's Tao Xi's illusion.

He felt that after he opened his own tiger claws in the environment of international public opinion for the first time.

No matter where he went, his smiling faces began to increase, even the security guards at the gate of the White House smiled more.

"Mr. Tao Xi, your arrival makes the White House flourish!"

"Yeah!" Tao Xi smiled and waved like a leader of a certain country, and the car drove towards the main entrance of the White House.

Don't wait for Tao Xi to get off
The private soldiers at the gate were so pissed that they opened the umbrella for Tao Xi and opened the door for Tao Xi.

"No, don't block my view of the sun!"

The private holding the umbrella looked up at the round moon in the sky and suddenly froze for a moment. Just as he was about to explain, Tao Xi had already walked to the gate of the White House banquet hall with the large troops behind him.

White House Ballroom

As the name suggests, it is to provide dining places for some heads of state. If the commander-in-chief needs to entertain guests, he can also report to Congress. After Congress approves, the White House will approve the expenses to pay.

Tao Xi, who was walking in the corridor of the banquet hall, saw many Washington ladies and some well-known politicians.

But Tao Xi didn't greet anyone, but walked towards the gate with his head held high.

A gorgeous Washington socialite asked curiously: "Who is this person? It doesn't look very pleasant!"

"Ah! You don't know him!"

"He is the other protagonist in the White House banquet hall this time. The old man Lawrence Dupont who just entered lost to him!"

"That's the DuPont Group. I heard from my father that he has a very good relationship with the current commander-in-chief, but Tao Xi made the DuPont family bow their heads and admit their mistakes with his bare hands!"

The Washington socialite standing in the corridor looked at Tao Xi's leaving back and couldn't help but muttered with emotion: "He is so young, but I don't know if he is married."

"Not married! He's just a bit of a playboy. Sophie Marceau, Monica Bellucci, and the female stars who have recently emerged in Hollywood are all somewhat related to him, and his sister is our enemy!"

The socialite who asked who Tao Xi was at the beginning covered her mouth in surprise: "Ah! Who are you Jin Xizhen! It's his sister! It's really a pity. Last time Jin Xizhen threatened to buy Rockefeller from the Japanese in New York. What about the building?"

"ah!"

"She really said it!"

"I forgot to tell you, do you know the richest man in Los Angeles? Tao Xi! He has several nicknames in Washington! Half City Los Angeles, One Finger Tokyo, One Piece! There are so many~"

"What does pointing to Tokyo mean?"

"You are really stupid in Seattle. You know that Tao Xi can make Tokyo bankrupt with a thumbs up? Don't you still want to be an international star? As long as Tao Xi is willing, you can definitely become a star, whether it is A movie star or a global singer, do you know that girl? It was sung by Akina Nakamori, and it is said that Tao Xi gave her the lyrics!"

Tao Xi, the hero, was completely unaware of the discussions in the corridor.

Tao Xi, who had just walked into the banquet hall, immediately recognized Lawrence Dupont standing in the center of the crowd.
