Chapter 1137: Enthusiastic Logan (Third Shift, Second Shift)
"In principle, that's true, but because my dad has done a great job in this tax reform, he ...... Well......" Although Dongfang Xiaoling said it was extremely vague, Lin Hongfei immediately understood: no matter what happens, as long as the three words "principle" are pulled out, it means that there can be a divine turn.
"And what about the original cabinet member?" Since there has been a divine turn, what is the divine turning point because of Lu, Lin Hongfei is too lazy to care, he is a little worried, will this divine turning bring any trouble to his father-in-law? Can the original radish that was given a pit by this radish of Dongfang Zheng be willing? I haven't heard of a single Cabinet member making a mistake in this time.
After a pause, Lin Hongfei asked again, "What position does the old man hold now?" ”
"Member of the Cabinet, member of the Cabinet Party Group and Secretary-General of the Cabinet, Secretary of the Party Group of the Organs, Secretary of the Working Committee for State Organs of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China, President of the National Academy of Administration, well, and deputy head of the Cabinet Tax Reform Group." Dongfang Xiaoling remembered her old man's new position clearly enough, and when she heard Lin Hongfei ask, she immediately reported it to Lin Hongfei.
"That's right," Dongfang Xiaoling hesitated, but still said to Lin Hongfei, "Hongfei, my dad said that he can come up this time, and the person he is most grateful for is you...... What does that mean? ”
"Thank me?" Hearing Dongfang Xiaoling's words, Lin Hongfei was also confused: What does this have to do with himself? Could it be that the old man's promotion has something to do with him? I don't seem to have done anything good lately, but I've caused a lot of trouble.
"Well, my dad didn't say it, but it seems to have something to do with your investment in the United States this time," Dongfang Xiaoling's voice was also full of doubts, "What the hell is going on." I don't understand it either, but listening to my dad, I guess even your dad has to move, saying that although your kid is a little reckless this time, he is wrong, but he is wrong, but he is wrong. ”
This is...... Hearing this, Lin Hongfei couldn't understand what kind of situation this was at all, obviously, Dongfang Xiaoling didn't understand either, but it didn't matter. Whether it's right or wrong, this is always a good thing, that's enough, thinking of this, Lin Hongfei's face finally showed a smile. "Well, whatever. That's all good...... Is there anything Dad wants to say to me? ”
"Yes." This was originally a greeting sentence, but to Lin Hongfei's surprise, the deputy leader of Dongfang ...... Oh, no, the freshly baked secretary general of the East really has something to say to Lin Hongfei, "My dad said. Don't look at the loan you have now from Citibank...... Don't ask me how I know, Citibank has notified China that they have approved your application for a $650 million loan...... But the difficulties your company is only beginning to encounter, and the aviation giants of Europe and the United States will find out that you are a threat to them. You must be vigilant against the fact that you will be able to use all the power you can to suppress you, and eventually to acquire and control your company, and you must be vigilant about this, and you must take precautions now. ”
"My dad said that you support Lee. Iacocca's run for the Senate is a good move, but it's not enough, you need to have more support in politics, not only in the U.S. Congress, but also in the state where your company is located...... The United States is a federal country, as long as you have a good relationship with the state government and state legislature in your state, you can save at least 60% of the trouble. ”
"Yes, I remember." Lin Hongfei was shocked when he heard this, sweating profusely, "Xiaoling, thank you for me, thank you, Dad." ”
He is indeed far behind his father-in-law in politics, and he only thinks about getting some senators and representatives in Congress, but he forgets that his roots are still in a specific place in the United States, just like his father-in-law said. As a federal country, each state has considerable autonomy, except for the military and diplomatic rights that belong to the central government, the states are almost independent small kingdoms, not only have their own constitutions and laws, but even the executive power is almost entirely owned by the state governments themselves.
"Thank you, it's all family," Dongfang Xiaoling smiled, smiling very happily, the two most important men in her life can be so harmonious, which makes her feel very happy, "My dad said, I should have thanked you, but since your kid is his son-in-law, this Xie Lu Xie will be exempted." ”
When it comes to the word "son-in-law", Dongfang Xiaoling is inevitably a little shy.

Before Holger. The 20 square kilometers of land that Breich bought for himself belongs to a small town in Utah called Logan, which is a small town, or a small city, with a population of only 41,000, but it is the seat of Utah State University, and the local cultural and technological atmosphere is not bad.
Interestingly, the total area of the entire city of Logan is only 48.1 square kilometers, but when Holger Breich said that he wanted to buy a large piece of land, the City Hall and the City Council agreed to Holger Breich's request without hesitation...... For Logan, which has a population of only 41,000 and no anchor industry other than Utah State University, the big boss Mr. Holger Breich offers a sky-high price that they simply can't refuse.
The most important thing is that the traffic in Logan City is very convenient, there is a Logan River next to Logan City that can pass 5000-ton ships, the Logan River is connected with the Delaware River, and the Delaware River is a wide river that can pass 10,000-ton giant ships, all the way into the Delaware Bay until it enters the Atlantic Ocean, for Lin Hongfei, there are convenient waterway transportation conditions, which is enough, and even as long as the 2000-ton inland river ships can meet Lin Hongfei's requirements.
It's a good thing to do: it avoids Boeing's home base as much as possible: Washington State, located on the western Pacific coast, provides Boeing's final assembly plant in Everett, Washington, with easy access to shipping, but it also provides the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co. Ltd. with the biggest umbrella: distance.
Considering that the largest aircraft production plant in the world, the Boeing Everett final assembly plant, covers an area of only 1,000 acres, totaling a little more than 4 square kilometers, Lin Hongfei feels that 30 square kilometers of land is enough for his own use...... Originally, the 20 square kilometers of land was intended to be built into a small town, but it was abandoned for some reasons, but now it seems that it is probably really necessary to build a small town.
But now, the town doesn't need to be built out of its own stupid pockets, and when the town of Logan, or the city of Logan, decides from the Guqi Provincial Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd. that they will have their own aircraft and aero-engine manufacturing plant here, the small city that used to be calm and peaceful suddenly boiled over.
Everyone understands how much the $650 million investment will play in their own small town to boost the local economy, and it is understandable that after Lin Hongfei's spokesperson, Jessica, on behalf of the North American branch of Guqi Province Industrial Manufacturing Co., Ltd., officially notified Logan City Hall and the City Council, Logan City Mayor Pam Parker and City Council Speaker John Wright brought the entire staff of City Hall and City Council to greet Lin Hongfei, the big boss.
To Lin Hongfei's surprise, he found an acquaintance among the dignitaries who welcomed him.
"Fargel, why are you here?" Lin Hongfei stepped forward in surprise and hugged Farger hard. Iacocca patted her hard, "God, you've got a big surprise for me!" ”
You read that right, Farger. Iacocca is Lin Hongfei's good friend, the president of Chrysler Automobile Group. Iacoca's youngest son.
"Lin, I'm so glad to be able to meet you here," I was able to see Lin Hongfei, Farger. Iacocca was also very happy, "My wife is from Logan City, and after coming to Logan City with my wife, I found that I had no way to refuse the peace and tranquility of Logan City, and the voice in my heart told me that this is where I wanted......"
"So you're settled here?" Lin Hongfei was a little surprised.
"That's right," said Farger. Iacocca said to Lin Hongfei with a proud tone, "Now that I am the first vice president of Logan City, I like this quiet and peaceful place, and I hope to be able to do something for this place." ”
"I'm really confused, is our arrival a good thing or a bad thing for Logan City?" Lin Hongfei deliberately frowned, as if he was very confused by this question.
"Of course it's a good thing, a big good thing." Logan Mayor Pam Murphy. Parker took the opportunity to interject, he stretched out his fat hand, and shook Lin Hongfei's hand hard, his face was as bright as a pig's head, "Mr. Lin, please believe me, there is nothing better than this, to be able to get your company's investment, it is the glory of our entire Logan City, I assure you that the Logan City Hall will do its best to cooperate with the development of your company." ”
The mayor was quite self-conscious, and only dared to represent the city hall, not the city council.
Lin Hongfei actually knew the first vice president of Logan City, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was still very good. Parker was very happy, he was worried that these investors from Red China would not cause some unnecessary trouble to Logan City because of their inability to communicate smoothly, but now, he is no longer worried about this problem: it is a good thing for Logan City and Chinese investors to have such a person who both sides trust...... As for the rest of the political stuff, hell! What does that have to do with the City of Logan?
Lin Hongfei held Pam. Parker's hand, with a sincere face, said, "Your Excellency, it is also an honor for our company to invest in Logan City, and I firmly believe that we can achieve common development and win-win for both parties." (To be continued......)
