What is Lin Feng's purpose?
It's simple, economic and political.
Economy, the current development of "Windy City" is good, but because Lin Feng invested in it, the city government of Los Angeles has been taking a covert measure to restrain Hollywood in order to keep it. What is the secret restraint? Although a second-class highway has been built, there is no expressway. This will undoubtedly increase the time for tourists to and from Fengcheng. Moreover, restrictions were imposed on the expansion of Fengcheng.
Los Angeles is the largest city in California, bordering on the coast of San Pedro Bay and Santa Monica Bay in the east of the vast Pacific Ocean, backed by the wild San Gabriel Mountains, covering an area of 1290.6 square kilometers. The "Windy City" is located in the suburb of Los Angeles. When Lin Feng first chose the construction site of "Windy City", he specially inspected the terrain. Its geographical location is also on the seaside. Lin Feng planned to develop this area as a port city. Having a seaport will undoubtedly give the future status of Fengcheng great development potential.
But the Los Angeles city government does not allow Lin Feng to continue to expand. Even Lin Feng is not allowed to buy land. Because this will continue to make the "Windy City" expand, not only will Hollywood lose its reputation, but it will also affect the city of Los Angeles. You know, the better Lin Feng develops, the greater the impact on Los Angeles, especially in terms of economy‘ Fengcheng has only 3% tax, which is too low. If the high-tech enterprises and major companies continue to develop, will Los Angeles become an empty city? Although it will take a long time to develop, it is possible.
But if windy city becomes a city under the rule of California, Los Angeles will not be able to manage it‘ "Windy City" will have completely independent development space, and Los Angeles has absolutely no reason or qualification to intervene. Even if it intervenes, there is the California government on it. Once the "Windy City" develops, the current "Windy City" will become the core of the whole city, and its market value will be extremely considerable. Lin Feng's investment of 150 billion US dollars will be rewarded several times, or even dozens of times.
Although Lin Feng lost the absolute management right of the city, the land of the whole city is in Lin Feng's hands, and your municipal government has to find its own land to rent. So, is it difficult to do anything in this city?
Of course, this is only Lin Feng's economic demand. More importantly, politics! Over the years, Lin Feng has understood a truth. Economy and politics are always twins, and they are indispensable. Otherwise, you will be like yourself and the whole world will be enemies. Therefore, Lin Feng needs to have his own voice.
Somalia, it's the forest. Investment in Africa is a very popular situation. But it's too slow. It's a long-term investment. Lin Feng urgently needs to have his own voice in the short term and in the international community. The United States, as the most powerful country in the world, has its own voice in this country, which will greatly change the status quo of Lin Feng.
Although Lin Feng now has Schwarzenegger, the governor of California, and Donald Trump, the "prospective" father-in-law in the United States, this is not Lin Feng's voice, it is someone else's voice. They are not controlled by forest wind. And Lin Feng needs his own voice.
Joining California and becoming a city under the rule of California will be Lin Feng's first step in having his own voice in the United States.
How to have your own voice? Once "Fengcheng" is urbanized, it will have a municipal government system. However, this system is under the rule of "Fengcheng", and the whole "Fengcheng" is owned by Lin Feng. At that time, Lin Feng's voice is bound to influence the attitude of the city administrators. This is true in China, the United States and any other country in the world. Just like President Bush of the United States, he also needs to give face to those big business groups. He must also pay attention to the voice of big consortia, and even some policies have to be tilted for them.
Of course, Lin Feng is not an American. If "Windy City" really becomes a city under the rule of California, then the US government will certainly keep an eye on this and avoid its own erosion of the US government. However, Lin Feng naturally made arrangements for this. As long as they don't interfere, city officials can independently formulate relevant city laws and regulations, and manage the city independently and transparently. In that case, there will be no opinions from the US Congress.
As for how Lin Feng can make a profit if he manages the city completely transparently, it is not difficult. As long as all the city councillors, most of them are Lin Feng's people. Of course, how to make the majority of city councillors be Lin Feng's people is simple‘ There are no citizens in Fengcheng, and it is in Lin Feng's hands to open up the qualification of citizens. If we choose a group of "suitable" citizens, then the Council will naturally be controlled by Lin Feng.
Of course, the U.S. Congress will not be so stupid. It will let Lin Feng control everything. The issue of "Fengcheng" is bound to be subject to strict scrutiny. However, Lin Feng is not afraid. It depends on everyone's wisdom and courage. Who laughs last.
When Schwarzenegger was thinking about how to merge windy city into California, the huge retail shareholders of "second world" finally arrived.
The number of these individual shareholders is more than 300000, and each of them holds 100 shares, or thousands of shares. However, Lin Feng did not treat them differently because of the number of shares they held. All shareholders, as long as they hold shares of "second world", will get a free round-trip air ticket, one night's accommodation and shuttle bus arranged by Lin Feng when they come to "Fengcheng".
"Fengcheng is short of an international airport." Lin Feng sighs as he looks at the buses coming in one after another.
This "Windy City" does not have its own airport. All people have to transfer from Los Angeles to "Windy City" and then take buses or taxis to "Windy City". At the beginning, Los Angeles promised to build a six lane highway to meet the traffic load of Fengcheng. As a result, only a four lane second-class highway has been built, which has clamped down Fengcheng.
Meanwhile, Los Angeles did not approve Lin Feng's request to build an international airport. At the beginning, the construction site of "Fengcheng" had already reserved the location of the airport on the edge, waiting for approval. At first, the city government of Los Angeles agreed, but after the construction of Windy City, it was not allowed. Now, with the rise of "Windy City", the disadvantage of not having an international airport of its own is highlighted. It's too much trouble to go to Fengcheng.
However, all this will be fine if Fengcheng has its own autonomy.
Soon, 300000 retail shareholders of second world gathered at Fengshen square. For today's invitation from Lin Feng, these retail shareholders are willing to accept. First of all, they adore Lin Feng very much. Otherwise, they would not hold on to the "second world" shares and stay here until now. Therefore, they are eager to see Lin Feng and his true face. Although it has been seen for a long time on the Internet, what it saw on TV is still different from what it saw with its own eyes. It's just like watching a football match in front of the TV and watching a live match on the football field.
Second, the location of this time is Fengcheng. Most of the people here have never been to Fengcheng. Although Fengcheng has been in operation for half a year, for most people, it is only one of the future tourist destinations. They don't have time yet. And this time, Lin Feng provides free accommodation and round-trip air tickets, so favorable conditions, naturally come.
Third, they also want to see how Lin Feng is going to persuade them to sell shares. After all, the stock is now up to nearly $600, which is too high!
"Hello, shareholders!" When Lin Feng saw the crowd coming together, he called out.
There was applause all around.
"I can tell you a piece of good news. Now the share price of second world has just reached $600. I'd like to congratulate you on making a lot of money!" Lin fengxiao said.
what! It's 600 dollars! When they got off the plane just now, it was only 580 dollars. In a twinkling of an eye, it was 600 dollars. Oh, my God, how happy it is! According to the shareholders who hold at least 100 shares, the increase of $20 will bring about a profit of $2000. 2000 US dollars, although converted into RMB, only 10000 yuan, can't do anything, but in the United States, 2000 US dollars can enjoy a trip across the United States.
There were cheers all around. The higher the stock price goes up, the more they earn. Once again, I'm excited that they chose "the second world"!
"But while congratulating you, I want to ask you one thing: do you want to earn this kind of money on paper or real dollars?" Asked Lin Feng.
They all looked up at Lin Feng. They didn't know what Lin Feng meant.
"Money on paper means that you can only see the money on the bill, but you can't spend it. And the actual dollar is a colorful hundred dollar bill in front of you! You can buy whatever you want and do whatever you want! Which do you choose? " Lin Feng asked with a smile.
Everyone, look at me and I'll look at you. I don't know what Lin Feng means.
"Since this is the general meeting of shareholders, I have something to say. My goal is to make second world the world's top high-tech company and a leader in it. Therefore, no matter how much money the "second world" earns each year, I will not pay dividends. At least in the next five years, second world will not pay dividends, and all the profits will go into the company's operation. " Lin Feng said.
No dividend! All the shareholders were a bit shocked. Well, why not pay dividends!
