"Will they agree?" because it was so important, and Murbach had some gains and losses.

"Old Mo," Feng Yiping patted him on the shoulder, "We must believe in our advantages, which are unstoppable, and we must also believe in the IQ of the McDonald's group, which must be superior in general,"

"I don't think so," Buchanan said, "you think they've guessed what we're here for, and they're still so welcoming, and they've given us a great gift in the first place."

Isn't an order for millions of electronic pedometers a big gift?

"Judging from their attitudes, there should be no problems with our cooperation proposal this time, do you say it is Merbuck?"

It seems like that's the case.

"What do you think, von?" asked Merbuck.

Feng Yiping believes that at the beginning of Merbuck's business, he would definitely not be as troubled and unconfident as he is now.

At the beginning, he must have been high-spirited and enterprising, but when Coin Star developed to a certain size, he may have mainly sought stability, or even too cautious.

This is also a common problem of many entrepreneurs, at the beginning, barefoot, so not afraid of anything, can go out of anything, later, the shoes on the feet are getting better and better, but the road is getting less and less, and some roads are not even daring to walk.

This is the so-called older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are.

"It's not that there are no problems," Feng Yiping said deliberately, and sure enough, he could feel Murbach nervous all of a sudden, "I think the main problem may be focused on this business, how much they are willing to give up,"

"That's a problem," Mr. Merbuck said.

This is actually not a problem, judging from McDonald's attitude, Feng Yiping has a rough judgment, they will at least sell more than 4% of the shares, the question is 64 open, or 55 open.

Feng Yiping proposed that he would hold the shares, which was a temptation and a hope, of course, his shareholding ratio exceeded that of McDonald's, which was difficult.

"It looks like it has reversed last year's decline, but the pressure on Cantalupo is still significant," Buchanan said.

"The pressure on them will increase in the future," Feng said, adding that it won't be long before many people in developing countries who like McDonald's reject the fast food provided by McDonald's and the fast food culture they represent.

"There's a question I don't understand, Feng," Buchanan said, "why do you think so much of this black state senator from Chicago?"

As the company's top executive in the United States, Buchanan is very aware of how many resources Feng Yiping has invested in supporting Xiao Ohei.

"What do you think of him?" Feng Yiping asked rhetorically.

Buchanan groaned slightly, "Means, still a little immature, but optimistic and confident, eloquent, infectious, and excellent in learning,"

"Then do you think he is qualified as a politician and has a future?"

"Progress is very fast, but as a minority, his future, I don't judge well, as you know, now in the federal Senate, there is not a single black senator,"

"Maybe this is a big opportunity?" Feng Yiping smiled, "I just think that he is a very 'new' person compared to those professional politicians, you know what I mean, as long as he can show this trait in the election campaign, I think he can get a lot of support and like,"

What's more, some people really seem to have the halo of the protagonist, and they are very lucky, after a near-humiliating defeat in 2000, Comrade Xiao Ohei can be said to be the head of fortune since then.

For example, this time in the Illinois Senate race, he is now almost like a hanger.

The leader of China, Feng Yiping has always adhered to the concept that he will never take the initiative to cling, nor will he firmly tie his company to any leader, because he knows that there will be absolutely no good end.

But by chance, he met Xiao Aohei in Chicago, who was still in the middle of the slightest, and Feng Yiping felt that such a relationship was still worth investing in and maintaining.

Relatively speaking, in the political and business circles of the United States, there are fewer cases of money and power transactions than in China, and it is also more difficult.

Of course, this does not mean that these politicians in the United States are so noble-minded, but they are mainly limited by objective conditions, such as the constraints of public opinion -- those reporters who are pervasive dare to poke anything outward.

The other reason is that the electronic currency of the United States has been implemented for many years, and in this country where you are very suspicious of drug trafficking if you carry $10,000 in cash, it is difficult to have the kind of situation where you carry a box full of cash to pay bribes.

As for bank transfers, please, even the regulatory and financial system of the whole society, which is not very perfect, will not be stupid enough to use such a way, let alone in the United States?

Every transaction in the bank is clearly traceable, that is, the recipient has a UBS protected account, but the transferor still has many terms to overcome.......

That's where the system and the system come in, making it very difficult to give and take bribes.

Therefore, Feng Yiping is not worried that he will be involved in similar criminal cases in the future.

Besides, the president of the United States still has a lot of power, and he can naturally create a lot of convenience, such as Musk's mention, financial subsidies and interest-free loans for new energy industry companies like Tesla, of course, he can decide.

If there is such an opportunity to take advantage of the U.S. government, why not try it?

"In short, I think that since you always have a plan for the development of the political world, it is always a good thing to have more contact with such potential people,"

"Thank you for the arrangement," Buchanan said, "and we're on good terms right now,"

At least he and Xiao Okuhei's team have cooperated well in the promotion of NEXTDOOR.

Feng Yiping thought that when Senator Comrade Xiao Ohei ran for president, he must recommend Buchanan to his core team, so that he could become a White House chief of staff or a minister of department in the future.

Doesn't it mean that many consortia and political circles in the United States have their own spokesmen? Feng Yiping also hopes that he can do the same.

"Mr. Feng, please feel free to inform me if you need anything," sent them downstairs to the hotel, and the driver sent by Collins, the president of NAVTEQ, said goodbye to the company's major shareholder.

"Thank you!"

Feng Yiping looked at his watch, looked at the hotel building behind him, and said to the other two, "It's still early, why don't we go out for a walk?"

"Wow," Buchanan immediately agreed, "I'm familiar with a few bars here,"

Feng Yiping was a little disappointed, he really wanted to say that he was very much looking forward to seeing the American art of pole dancing.

However, except for his own strong request, these two guys will not go to such a place with him, let alone take him to such a place.

…………

NIGHTS IN CHICAGO, THE WINDY CITY, HAVE ALWAYS BEEN BLUES.

IN MANY PLACES TODAY, BLUES IS DRESSED UP IN ORNATE OR ELEGANT GARMENTS, BUT IN CHICAGO, WHERE IT FLOURISHED, THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE, AND THE LABOR TRUMPETS OF THE EARLY MISSISSIPPI SLAVES WHEN THEY WERE PICKING COTTON ARE STILL AS MUNDANE AND UBIQUITOUS AS THEY ARE HERE.

Carrying Feng Yiping and Merbuck through the evening breeze with water vapor and blues, Buchanan walked to a bar, GreenMill, "You may not be familiar with it here, but you must have heard of it, or seen the movie," he said.

"Al Capone?" said Merbuck.

"Hehe, yes, he was the backstage owner of this bar at the time, and the undersea passage he dug under Lake Michigan in order to sell moonshine ended in the basement of this bar,"

This bar is quite a hot business, not only picking people, but also collecting venue fees, it seems that Buchanan, who is not the first time to come, took them to the bar, "Feng, don't just drink beer, when you get to Chicago, you must try the cocktails here,"

"Three martinis," he snapped his fingers.

Martini has different tastes everywhere, maybe this bar has a gangster background in history, so they are particularly spicy and sharp.

However, in the dim light of the bar, the various liquors reflect the faint light in the warm glasses, and then in the low blues, breathe in the air filled with all kinds of alcohol, and suddenly there is a slight feeling of drunkenness.

Buchanan and Murbuck didn't spend much time with Feng Yiping, so they found their respective partners, leaving him alone in front of the bar.

He is reluctant to take the initiative to talk to someone, but, waiting for someone to take the initiative to talk to him, this thing is also very difficult, those girls in the bar are all authentic Westerners, and the aesthetic concepts of the East and the West are very different, Feng Yiping wants to attract attention, it is estimated that he has to take off his shirt and wear only a vest, revealing his 8-pack abs.

Well, the original intention of coming to the bar was not to have an affair.

However, watching the two guys each pull a woman with a good figure to talk and laugh, he felt for no reason that this martini seemed to be more bitter.

"A glass of lover martini," a girl with long hair squeezed over beside her, Feng Yiping listened to the voice, déjà vu, the fragrance, it seemed to be quite familiar, just that the girl also turned her head, with a look of surprise and disbelief, "Feng?"

"Amilia?" )
