Chapter 237: Fundraising Party

"I don't need to worry about the funds, it doesn't matter if the construction period is longer, anyway, I can live in the golf club for the time being, and I have other houses.

So your task is to combine the strengths of these buildings and design a classic estate that can appear in architectural design textbooks, and I may have many houses in my life, but it is different, this will be my home. ”

There is no shortage of money to spend now, and the future is even more promising.

Han Chudong is now full of confidence, feeling that even if the cost is as high as 100 million US dollars, it is not a big deal, and added: "It is best to help me build a miniature version of the model after completing the design, so that I can have an intuitive understanding, if I can be satisfied, then this order is your firm." ”

"I understand, we'll talk to you first, draw a plan, and then build a model when we feel like we're almost done, and then we'll see what needs to be improved, okay?"

"Well, how long will the design work take?"

"It's hard to say, but we're definitely going to get it done as soon as possible, about three months or so, and then we're going to start contacting the construction company, the golf course and the landscaping, and we've made a rough plan. ”

The person in charge of the architectural design office brought a brief sketch to Han Chudong to see.

The land is surrounded by a ring of trees, a high ground near the lake is used to make a estate, and a golf club occupies a third of the total area, with high-end resorts and parking.

The last time we met, we only had a cursory chat, but today Han Chudong came here to communicate and let each other understand each other's thoughts more comprehensively, so as not to make a mistake when the time comes, both sides are embarrassed, and waste time and energy.

The original vineyards have been left behind, a small palm grove has been preserved, and the natural pond has been dredged and rebuilt.

No one knows better than him how much the value of this money can appreciate if it is used to invest in Wal-Mart, in the insurance industry, in the banking industry, and so on, in 10 years, 20 years, or even more than 40 years.

But making money is important, and enjoying life is also very important, Han Chudong tried to find a balance between these two aspects, if you only earn money and don't spend money, then life will be too boring.

Thinking about it from another angle, this land, as well as the golf clubs and private estates that will be built in the future, can also be mortgaged to the bank to obtain loans, and then use the money to invest, which actually does not have much impact on his business.

The communication took a long time, and by the time I left the office, it was already more than five o'clock in the afternoon.

Recently, he has pushed off too many parties, and tonight he is in the mood to take Kiko Mochizuki to a small party held at the city hall.

Initiated by the current mayor of Los Angeles, several candidates who are running for election were also present, and a certain senator also came to join in the fun.

The number of guests is not large, and the number of accompanying guests is less than 100.

However, the invitations were received by bigwigs, such as the CEO and shareholders of MGM, the CEO and shareholders of NBC's Burbank branch, the shareholders of the arms dealer Lockheed, some guild leaders, senior officials of official organizations, and some of whom often appeared on local television and newspapers.

Han Chudong could only recognize a small part, but when he arrived, judging from everyone's eyes, most people should know him, or know about Han Chudong's existence, some raised their glasses and smiled, some took the initiative to come over to talk, and stretched out their hands to show favor when introducing themselves.

There are a lot of big companies in Los Angeles, with a market value of more than $10 billion, but market capitalization is market capitalization, and personal wealth is another matter.

Since the partnership auction was held last month, the news that Han Chudong made a net profit of more than $170 million in half an hour has spread wildly in California's upper circles, saying that there is a little guy of Chinese descent with amazing business acumen.

"Fortune" magazine listed him as the cover of the monthly magazine, coupled with the financial section of the "Los Angeles Times", "Wall Street Journal" and other mainstream newspapers, taking turns to talk about his family history, and has quietly accumulated a lot of fame in the United States.

Even in Los Angeles, where the rich are gathered, Han Chudong's total personal wealth can be ranked in the top five.

may not have much business intersection with Han Chudong, but there are still people who keep talking to him, and soon after entering the market, more than ten people gathered around him, which is the status brought by money.

The current mayor of Los Angeles is also there.

Before buying the sprawling wasteland at the top of Beverly Hills, Han Chudong went to City Hall to find the old mayor named Elton, and the two sides reached a secret deal.

Elton Sr. helped with some formalities, and after stepping down in the second half of the year, Han Chudong hired Elton Sr. to work as a consultant in his company, with a higher salary.

Doing business in the United States requires many things to be negotiated with guilds, official organizations, and non-official organizations, and the specific work is similar to that of lobbyists, who are well versed in the rules of the game in the political and business circles of the United States.

At this moment, the elder Elton patted Han Chudong's arm, laughed and said: "I'm very happy to welcome a newcomer, now no one will say that we don't support minorities to do business, Mason Han's success is the best proof of the open and inclusive business atmosphere in Los Angeles!"

If anyone doesn't know him, I can only advise you to read more magazines and newspapers, Mason is only 20 years old and has become the richest man of Chinese descent in the United States!"

Probably because he knew that there was no hope of re-election, the old Elton no longer pursued the patrons at the party, and when he said this, he was obviously touting Han Chudong, lest anyone who was not long-sighted come to annoy his guests and one of his future employers.

When he retires, he will not only work as a consultant for a company, but also earn more after leaving the company than in office, which is an unspoken rule in the United States.

Therefore, if they are a little ambitious, they will make more friends with rich people during the period of ability, and provide some help, which can be regarded as buying "pension insurance" in advance.

Han Chudong remembers that in the future, someone will create a foundation, which will attract donations from countless individuals and organizations, and someone will write a book and get the copyright of 60 million US dollars before it is listed.

I have long passed the youthful age when I thought that the moon in the United States was relatively round, and I know how dark the American crow is, and it is not strange to see it.

Since there is no way to change, you can only adapt as much as possible.

After Old Elton finished speaking, Han Chudong said with a smile:

"I'm coming here tonight with sincerity, and the party theme is to meet the candidates, right?

If anyone is willing to help renovate roads, build new schools, and provide equal employment opportunities and living conditions, I think the nearly 200,000 Asian American groups will definitely be willing to help cast their ballots......"

ps: Sorry for being late again, my waist hasn't been very comfortable lately
