Two days after Fang Menghua returned to Xiangjiang, she set foot on the land of America again, and this time she specially found Barbara.

After performing a sisterly scene, Fang Menghua began to express his intentions, "This time, our mother and son made some money in the stock market, but my son Andy said that he is also a citizen of the United States of America, and seeing that the country is now in devastation, he is ready to invest all this money in the United States, and your Bush family will take the lead in contacting the companies he wants to invest in." ”

"Really, that's wonderful!" Barbara was overjoyed.

In the midst of the oil-induced economic crisis, industrial production fell by 14 percent in the United States and more than 20 percent in Dongying, and productivity growth slowed markedly in all industrialized countries. However, the Arab countries that launched the oil war have thus strengthened their economic strength, and according to statistics, the price increase alone has caused the oil revenues of the Arab countries to soar from $30 billion in 1973 to $110 billion in 1974. Now that the U.S. economy has entered a period of "stagflation", there is an urgent need for new investment to enter the market to stimulate the economy, and if anyone can bring huge amounts of money to the U.S. market, this is itself a kind of political capital.

In this way, one is intentional and the other is intentional, Fang Menghua and Barbara hit it off. As for why Li Ping'an wants to spend these funds in a short period of time, Li Ping'an's explanation to Fang Menghua is that on the one hand, he has to spend money to buy Ping'an, and on the other hand, the dollar will face a sharp depreciation in the future, so it is best to spend all the money in his hands.

Spending money is actually a science, first of all, the things you buy cannot depreciate, and secondly, the items you buy must consider other aspects in addition to economic considerations. With the Bush family's matchmaking, Fang Menghua first spent $480 million in the name of Li Ping'an to buy 10 percent of Grumman's shares, a traditional American arms company. Now Grumman has not yet developed into an arms giant comparable to Lockheed Martin and Boeing, but at this time it has already produced Panda fighters, and if it were not for the Bush family to take the lead, and Li Ping'an is already an American citizen, he would not have been able to buy these shares with money. With the shares of the arms company, Li Ping'an's Blackwater International has something to rely on, and he and his family also have security.

Then Fang Menghua bought 28 percent of Coca-Cola's shares in the name of Li Ping'an. After the 1973-1974 U.S. stock market crash, the market went sideways for eight years, and Coca-Cola fell from $75 to $22 in 1973 and still $30 eight years later, a drop of about 60%. Li Ping'an bought these shares at this time, which can be said to have saved Coca-Cola's half life.

Under the economic crisis, the cultural industry in the United States also suffered a comprehensive setback, and Fang Menghua spent $1.7 billion to buy 72 percent of the shares of Disney Company according to Li Ping'an's instructions, controlling the company in one fell swoop. In addition, Fang Menghua also wholly acquired the American National Broadcasting Corporation at a high price of $1.9 billion, and then acquired Hasbro non-stop, so far Fang Menghua also ended the American acquisition journey.

Li Ping'an also started the acquisition journey on the Xiangjiang side, Li Ping'an first spent 10 million Hong Kong dollars, at almost the price of buying cabbage to buy more than 600 acres of wasteland between Tseung Kwan O and Tiu Keng Ling, Li Ping'an is ready to use it for the construction of Tseung Kwan O Film and Television Base, the ultimate goal is to build a large-scale film and television city, the Xiangjiang DreamWorks and Suzaku TV all relocated, in addition to he is also preparing to build a top Asian special effects company here.

Li Ping'an bought the Yau Ma Tei Cinema (including the land), one of the five major cinemas in Hong Kong, for HK$2.8 million.

The so-called five major cinemas were only used 256 years ago, and there are only 500 seats in the Yau Ma Tei Cinema, and most of the facilities are outdated. Yau Ma Tei Cinema originally belonged to the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, but due to the economic crisis, Shao Yifu was ready to start cutting the number of theaters in the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line. After buying the Yau Ma Tei Cinema, Li Ping'an immediately asked his subordinates to contact the engineering team to start upgrading the cinema.

Li Ping'an bought more than 10,000 square meters of land in Hung Hom Bay, basically including the original place of the Hung Hom Stadium in the future, and he was ready to build a large-scale comprehensive sports stadium, the preliminary design should reach 2,500 square meters.

Li Ping'an also bought three buildings next to the main road in Kowloon for 30 million Hong Kong dollars, the shortest of which are 12 floors, and Li Ping'an plans to transform the second and third floors of the middle building into a multiplex cinema.

The time for this purchase and purchase also entered June, and Fang Menghua also returned to Xiangjiang on June 15, and before she could take a breath, she began to continue to buy and buy on behalf of her son.

On June 16, Fong Menghua spent HK$27 million to buy the Luk Hai Tong Building at 31 Queen's Road East Central. Lu Haitong Building was only 13 floors at this time, and it had not yet been rebuilt, and the reason why the purchase price was relatively high was because it was located in a prime location in Xiangjiang, and its owner, Lu Haitong Company, was very strong. If it weren't for the economic crisis that hurt Haitong's vitality, Fang Menghua might not be able to buy it even if the bid doubled.

After Fang Menghua bought the Luhaitong Building, Fang Menghua used all the other floors for rent, and he would rectify and update the Queen's Theater on the ground floor of the building according to his son's suggestion, anyway, less than half of the cash in his hand was used up now. The location of the Queen's Theatre is really good, it is the middle of the Queen's Road right outside, and the flow of people here is very large, which is the representative of the entire prosperous area of Xiangjiang.

In addition, Fang Menghua spent more than 80 million Hong Kong dollars to buy 68 villas of different sizes in Mid-Levels, Waterloo Road Hill, Repulse Bay, Lantau Island and other places. In particular, the three Lantau holiday villas are even more luxurious than the Mid-levels villas, but the prices are quite cheap. Fang Menghua also bought half of the land on the waterfront of Lantau Island, where Li Ping'an would build a luxurious villa for his own cultivation.

In addition to buying properties in the United States and Hong Kong, Li Ping'an also began to buy everything he needed in other regions. Li Ping'an bought a billion dollars of real estate and land in Dong*jing alone, and Li Ping'an of Gangnam Province, which was still called Seoul at this time in South Korea, also spent $100 million to buy real estate and land, and Jeju Island, which has not yet been developed, bought more than 800 acres of land on the eastern side of the sea. Li Ping'an also took advantage of this crisis to buy the Shogakukan Publishing House, and bought a large number of shares of Sony, Toyota, Samsung and other companies.

In addition to physical objects, Li Ping'an also began to buy some patents and novels and comic copyrights, among which Li Ping'an only spent $200,000 to buy all the copyrights of the Rubik's Cube from Professor Rubik.
