Chapter 259: Political Investment

In fact, everyone should be in awe, this is not a kind of cowardice, on the contrary, it is a kind of wisdom.

But Jack didn't see this valuable quality from Lin Fan, and he felt that Lin Fan's flight from New York to San Francisco was very fast. Also, Lin Fan's frequent air tickets between the United States and China might as well be used to improve the company's welfare.

In short, he didn't put his respect for Lin Fan on the surface, so this may be the reason why he felt comfortable getting along with Lin Fan.

"I think you're doing something terrible. ”

Lin Fan acted very indifferently, "I feel that I am contributing to the cause of democracy in the United States, maybe Congress or the White House should award me a medal, I have already thought of a name, it is called the Great Democrat." ”

Well, Jack smiled unprincipledly, even though he was complaining about Lin Fan in the last second, "It's a win-win situation for Twitter and Obama to work together, Obama has gained the support of young voters through us, and has an additional channel to promote himself." And the presidential candidate's voice on Twitter has also increased my popularity, whether Obama is elected president or not, this gimmick is enough, but your next move will push Twitter to a future that we don't know the future. ”

"I know. ”

"Lin, this joke isn't funny at all. ”

Lin Fan groaned, he needed to find a suitable reason to convince Jack. Because he doesn't see Jack as a subordinate, but as a partner, this determines that Jack has his own thinking.

Lin Fan is indeed ready to do a big thing, which is to officially fund Obama's candidacy for the presidency. Before this, I have to say that the unique political system of the United States, there was once such a joke that the Republican Party belongs to the Morgan family, the Democratic Party belongs to the Rockefeller family, and Morgan and Rockefeller belong to the Rothschilds.

For example, in the presidential election, each candidate often spends hundreds of millions of dollars or even more than a billion dollars on the entire cost of the campaign.

It's fine not to fund the presidential election, but once you support it, the consequences are still very serious, and this is a political act, not a purely economic act. But Lin Fan just wants to do political speculation this time, but Obama's current performance is really worrying, until now, he has not been able to shine in the Democratic Party, and the votes he has obtained have been in a backward position.

The helplessness also comes from this, Lin Fan knows that Obama will become the president of the United States.

"It's true that Obama is not doing well right now, but if you think about it in another direction, it's not an attempt. Lin Fan smiled, "No one is optimistic about Obama now, we invest in him, even if we fail in the future, others will not care about us, because we did not invest in those formidable opponents, but an unnoticeable black boy." And, if Obama succeeds, we may be able to gain a president's personal friendship because of his vision, an investment that is not very risky but potentially highly profitable. ”

Jack shook his head, supporting the candidate to run in the presidential election, what kind of person is this? That's the top consortium like the five major investment banks on Wall Street, Citibank, and JPMorgan Chase, and it is difficult for Jack, who has a calm personality, to convince himself to take a risk.

"I understand your concerns, Twitter is just a small shrimp at the moment, but now is where our opportunity is, if Obama becomes the sole candidate of the Democratic Party, we will not be able to join. ”

"Lin, are you so optimistic about him?"

"It's not just because of this person, the Democrats are usually supported by financial, educational, and technological groups, and the Republicans are often supported by steel and military enterprises. In this economic crisis, it's easier for the Democrats to become presidents, and we're a new tech company, so if we're going to get involved, we're going to be in the Democrats. And the only one we have contact with in the Democratic Party is Obama, so it's him. ”

Lin Fan said it very casually, he didn't want Jack to make a fuss on the day Obama was really elected.

"Lin, in fact, I can understand your psychology, you want to make Twitter to the next level by funding the future president, but have you ever thought that Twitter is just an ant compared to Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase, even if Obama is elected president, how can he care about the interests of an ant?"

Jack's concerns are normal, Lin Fan let out a breath, it seems that it is not possible not to say something real, "Jack, within a month, I may become the largest individual shareholder of Citigroup." ”

Jack was stunned for a moment, and looked at Lin Fan directly, as if he was looking at someone he didn't know. He did not dare to imagine that if Obama really became president, and Lin Fan, who had favored and funded him, became the largest shareholder of the top three banks in the United States, how high would Lin Fan's status and status be in the United States?

"Jack, now do you agree to my request?"

Jack smiled helplessly, "You convinced me. ”

Lin Fan smiled slightly, he planned far more than Jack thought.......

The plane sailed smoothly over the Pacific Ocean, Xie Ai had an excitement on his face, and he missed it a few months after he left Huaxia unconsciously.

"Is the work all taken care of?"

"Of course. Speaking of professionalism, Xie Ai became serious again, "But I have prepared a few hidden mines, if the stock market will really fluctuate next year as Mr. Lin said, we may be able to grasp enough funds immediately." Without waiting for Lin Fan to ask, Xie Ai immediately said, "Mr. Lin, don't worry, the amount I set is very small, and if we don't make a move in the past few months, it won't attract attention at all." ”

Lin Fan nodded reassuringly, but he definitely didn't expect Xie Ai to hide a little from him, how could Xie Ai bury a few thunders? That's hundreds of thunders! Since Xie Ai heard that Lin Fan said that there would be a stock market shock in January and February next year, out of trust and his own judgment, he was sure that this was a great opportunity.

The global stock market is volatile, and it can be said that shorting any stock can make monstrous profits. Xie Ai cast a big net through research and comparison, and scattered all the more than 100 funds on hand, of course, more funds were put into Citi, and everything was waiting for next year to blossom and bear fruit.

"Have you ever thought about how to spend the money in your hands when you return to China?" Lin Fan said with a smile, Xie Ai now has more than 200 million US dollars in commissions.

"Go back and rent a house and buy a car. ”

"Rent a house, my future company boss can't even afford to buy a house?"

"Renting a house so that you can move at any time is a hobby. Also, Mr. Lin, don't you mention the company's affairs, okay? I now have a headache when I think about leading a company. ”

Hearing this, Lin Fan handed a stack of documents in his briefcase to Xie Ai, "This is some information about Baby Fan, you can take a look at it in advance." ”

Lin Fan's prepared action made Xie Ai speechless, and after a long time, Xie Ai said hatefully: "I finally understand why Gao Ming said that you are Zhou Peel!"
