Chapter 183: It's rare to be high-profile

If the Americans don't care, even if the earth falls apart somewhere, the American media will at most give a tofu-sized page in the newspaper.

But if it has something to do with the Americans themselves, even if a cat stays in a tree and refuses to come down, and the owner roars and screams to the firefighters to catch the reluctant cat, it can also give a front page. The smaller the media, the more it is.

An example can be taken.

The United States and Iraq have fought twice in history, but Link still can't even tell which one is Iraq and which one is Kowit. He believes that many Americans are like him.

He's a yellow man, not a government official, and unless there's some scandal or something worth gloating about, he's not going to make the headlines of the big newspapers.

This time, though, he dominated most of the media headlines in Las Vegas, and even news from local television stations in Nevada made headlines.

There are two reasons for this, the first is that he set up a fund and donated 50 million. That's a lot of money in the United States. Many rich people will do more than this number of charities, and it stands to reason that it is impossible for him to make headlines.

But Martha made a high-profile announcement that his Hans Fund would use $50 million to provide more than 1,000 low-rent apartments for the unemployed living with children. The rent is as low as $10 that anyone who has just crossed the world's poverty line can afford.

The criterion for the world poverty line is that disposable income does not exceed $1 per day. And as long as Americans have social insurance, they can get more than that.

Ten dollars is perhaps a lot of money for some of the most backward countries in Africa. But compared to the Americans, even poor households can afford this rent effortlessly. Because even a child who goes out on the street for an hour a day to pick up cans can earn ten dollars a month.

The Nevada Daily News ran a news item on its headline.

"Hanse's low-rent community is not a shelter because it requires rent. Although its rents are outrageously low, the occupants pay the rent anyway. Martha Topson, head of the Hans Foundation, said: "The purpose of low-rent apartments is to give children a healthy environment to grow up. Therefore, residents who are in difficulty can apply for food and can get free water and electricity supply. The Foundation will also provide some free medical services for the children staying in the house. However, residents are responsible for some cleaning work. At the same time, there are some common rules of the community to be observed. If implemented, the project will provide 1,000 unemployed families in Las Vegas with a much more comfortable temporary home than various shelters. ”

A lot of things in the U.S. like to be represented by the number of households.

For example, how many households can be supplied by a point from a certain power station.

They like to express in this way that they care about people's livelihood. In other words, only in this way can Americans make ordinary people understand the meaning of a generator set with an installed capacity of 10,000 kilowatts.

1,000 families, that's more than the total population of many small towns in the United States. So that's big news.

The other news was revealed by a Nevada television station.

According to reliable sources. Link Hans, who has just bought an abandoned military base, is planning to build a 3,000M wind farm. This huge project will invest more than $4.5 billion. This will greatly alleviate the power shortage in Nevada. If fully implemented, the electricity produced by the project will be enough to supply a quarter of Las Vegas homes year-round. ”

What the number 3000M represents, most Americans won't understand what that means. But they can see the meaning from the other two numbers.

"$4.5 billion" and "a quarter of Las Vegas household electricity consumption" are enough to cause the whole state of Nevada to shake.

In addition, Link can also be called one of the most legendary figures in Nevada history. Won more than $2.5 million on a slot machine with a hundred dollars and then won billions of dollars from the table.

Legendary people do great things, that's really big news!

So, all of a sudden, the name Link Hans appeared frequently in Nedahua's newspapers again. Once again, all of his deeds were unearthed and revealed before the eyes of all Nevada residents.

His parents were Chinese immigrants and were adopted by American families since childhood. I have a good academic performance, but in the end, because of a teacher's comment, no university is willing to give me an interview.

And then there's the experience in Las Vegas. Even when and where he worked, it was dug deeply, even the few short jobs after his bad luck were not missed.

His former colleagues, even if he had only worked a day at a restaurant, and people he hadn't even met, didn't prevent them from claiming in the media how close they were to him.

In short, except for the fact that the color of his underwear and the size of TT he needs to use have not been confirmed, it has been reported at what age he began to fall in love and at what age he lost his virginity.

There are also some media outlets who don't know where they got the news, and even report on the gamble of the century between him and the Greek gambling king.

The media in Nevada had little chance of getting the word out to other states.

But this is the age of the web. His experience is certainly something gamblers like to watch, and some young people with a strong sense of curiosity will certainly be curious.

Young people spread the news online.

For a while, as long as you search for the two keywords "link" on the Internet, at least one million search results will appear.

Most of the titles won't be Link. Rather, it is something like the following:

"Nedava's God of Gamblers Makes Another Big Move, $4.5 Billion Investment Project"

"The God of Gamblers had a big gamble?"

"Shocked, a man who won two billion dollars at the table overnight. ”

"From being unemployed to becoming the world's youngest billionaire in three days, that's why!"

History has shown that titles such as these are the most eye-catching.

Previously, because of the tax evasion list, Link's layer briefly became the person of national media attention. And I don't want more people to know that they don't collect taxes legally. So most of the news about Link was deleted. There are still many people who don't know Link's details.

But this time it was the young man who spread his message spontaneously.

Within a few days, as long as they were not isolated Americans, most of them knew that there was still such a young billionaire in the United States.

There are those who scolded him on the Internet, and there are also those who begged him to teach him gambling skills. In short, there are envy, jealousy, or both.

Of course, there are also people who speak on his social media sites criticizing deforestation in Ozet.

Link saw Martha being interviewed by reporters when she took Huaxin's technical team to Fairy Peak Farm to survey wind energy.

Martha said into the camera, "Yes, Mr. Hans does have quite a large wind energy development plan. However, the specifics may not be as large as the proposed project. ”

But the news still reported on his 3 million kilowatt wind development project in exaggerated tones.

In fact, he couldn't have built so many wind turbines on two farms.

The approval project plan is simply to report the project "as big as possible" to avoid having to submit it again in the future.

Because, Huaxin's team leader Du told him that if he wanted to make full use of the wind energy of the two farms, he could only build a maximum of 1.5 million kilowatts of wind energy units, and it would take years to complete the construction of the project.

Although the news always tries to attract the audience with exaggerated statements as much as possible. But such a method is usually only used so vividly in the time of propaganda warfare.

So he felt that there was something wrong with the media coverage of his wind energy development plan!

And his wind power project was said by the media to make the whole United States take off. It made him feel uneasy. But he couldn't tell what was wrong.

There was so much coverage of him from outside, he stayed at Hans's farm, and every day there were a lot of media calls hoping to interview him.

He refused.

However, he soon discovers that Hans's family has been harassed as a result, and fortunately he lives separately from Hans's family. When Jeff encountered a reporter blocking the way for an interview, he responded with a sentence of "no comment". It's just that when he moved out of Hans's house, there was also the argument that he was ungrateful when he had money.

He was contemplating whether to take Hannah to Ozette to get out of the limelight when Martha called him

She said with some heaviness in her voice, "Link, GE's marketing president has called me many times. ”

"He's called me too, but don't put me on the blacklist. Did he say something?" Maybe it's a big company, but he just ignores it.

But Martha's answer made him realize that he was thinking too simply. "He said he wanted to talk to you or he would make our project a joke," Martha said. She paused. These were his exact words. ”

Link's heart froze when he heard this.

Could it be that the recent media coverage of his wind energy development plan is all driven by GE?

But what's the use of them doing that? Do they want to use the media to put pressure on him to give in?

He wanted to hear what the GE people had to say. He said to Martha, "You asked him to call me." ”

After he hung up, he removed the number of GE's marketing director from the blacklist.

It didn't take long for him to receive a call from the other party. He was playing with Hannah in the living room when the call came. He gestured to Ms. Hammer and answered the phone.

He said as he walked towards the study: "Hello, this is Link Hans. ”

"Hello, Mr. Hans. I'm GE's Director of Marketing, Alan Elber. I've called you before. ”

Link went up to the second floor and said, "Hello Mr. Elber. I heard Martha say you're going to talk to me. Is there anything wrong?"

"Very important thing. Maybe we can meet face-to-face!"

Link smiled and said, "It may be important to you, but not necessarily to me." ”

"Well, what I'm talking about may be related to whether the wind power you produce can be connected to the Internet. I think that's very important to you. ”

Link paused, but immediately laughed and said, "I don't know yet when GE acquired the North American power grid." ”

"We certainly didn't buy North American Power Grid. But we have a good relationship at the top of GE and the North American power grid. Maybe we can help you communicate with them. Specifically, we will meet and talk about it. What do you think?"

Link pondered for a moment and said, "Yes." I'll have time in the afternoon. I'm at Hans Farm. ”
