Chapter 1259: A Sharp Turn
They didn't even think about it at all, and they didn't even know what was going on in this red valley. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After all, after they proposed to build this high-speed rail line, too many people wanted to participate.
For example, the old railway company that is famous in the country, because they have a lot of resources in the government, so Thomas and Petty, of course, will not refuse them, after all, this is a strong alliance.
And considering that in the future, they may face a counterattack from several large aviation companies across the country, as well as automobile companies, or oil giants, so they did not refuse this giant in the train freight industry.
With such a one, there are many people who want to squeeze in, such as some local tyrants in California, as well as powerful people, or the children of a certain locomotive manufacturing family, although their family has not been making locomotives for many years now, but after all, they have been entrenched in Washington for so many years, and they are still very influential in Washington.
With so many people joining, of course, there are also major funding providers, such as those tycoons on Wall Street, which was originally an ordinary high-speed rail construction project, and then 66 continued to bring in dozens of interested investors.
Later, Thomas and Petty can't go on like this, and if this continues, more people will join in the future, and at that time, they will simply not be able to refuse, and then the whole project will be out of control.
Because of the large number of people, it is not easy to distribute the profits when the time comes, so they have to raise the threshold for entering the industry, and even began to collect intention money from those tycoons who are already interested in joining the project, which maintains the stability of this alliance.
The cost of dredging the joints in the early stage is all with the money of the intention money, and the project has not yet started, and they have received the intention money in their hands, which has already exceeded 200 million US dollars.
This made them complacent, even if it was just for lobbying, enough to stun the members of the state legislature in Sacramento.
Those grandchildren, except for a few rich ones, most of them are actually just a bunch of poor ghosts, and giving them tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of political funds is enough to turn their farts upside down.
At that time, Thomas and Petty, as the advocates and leaders of this project, also thought that this project was a pinch, and it would be successfully completed.
As for the issue of the Red River Valley, it seems that when all the participants were at the conference, one of the main funders from Wall Street, named Compton, mentioned it, and the investment tycoon said that instead of choosing a place in Santa Barbara and Bayskesfield, it would be better to choose the route in the middle of the two cities, because it would greatly reduce the cost and benefit the real estate development here.
That's what he just said, and then the other investors agreed, and apparently everyone was convinced of Mr. Compton's investment vision.
And the red valley area is indeed well chosen, and now in the vicinity of Los Angeles, a lot of satellite cities have quietly emerged, but those satellite cities are still buying ways to meet the increasing population of Los Angeles.
If you're building a satellite city in that red river valley, a satellite city based on a high-speed rail transfer station, it's a very good idea.
And if it were to be built, the property there would certainly not be a sell, given the geographical advantage of the place, and many people agreed to Mr. Compton's proposal after a brief thought.
And Thomas, as a veteran of real estate, also thinks that what Mr. Compton said is reasonable, although he also knows that it is not so easy to build a city from a wasteland, but who makes these people here rich, as long as they have money, let alone such a wasteland, even if it is a desert, they can build a city for you.
So Thomas and Petty agreed to Mr. Compton's conditions at that time, and the matter was specially handed over to Mr. Compton, although he did not take the initiative to ask for it at that time, but everyone felt that this Mr. Compton would definitely be able to settle this matter easily.
After all, this person is not only famously rich, but also has a lot of unexplained relationships with Washington, and has a lot to do with the bigwigs in various states in the United States.
Originally, in Thomas's eyes, it was just a very simple matter, but now it seems that Mr. Compton has messed up, or that the person he has hired to do the work is too unreliable, and he actually stabbed the matter in the media, and now everyone is on wax.
These damn news media, Thomas is also scolding, he seems to have forgotten that their family is the media themselves, and it seems that there are some TV and online media under their Hearst Group that are involved in the reporting of this matter.
Of course, Thomas and Petty knew that those people were deliberately working against them, after all, they had only accepted such a big group, and it didn't take long for there to be many people who were not directed at them, and they were busy making more profits for the group at this time, because only after the results were made, they could take people out and make a decision.
After all, if you don't have the slightest past achievements, you will use people to make a sword, which will shake the morale of the army, not to mention that their position as the leader of the group is originally not the right way, and this is what they are most afraid of being asked by others.
Now they see that some TV stations within the Hearst Group, as well as the Internet, and print media are involved in this news report, and the two can't help but have a secret hatred.
Well, now these guys dare to blatantly contradict themselves.
Thomas really wanted to scold his mother, and at this time he was calling his son Dylan, after all, his son, although he couldn't do many things, but he had a bad idea, and he still had such a little ability.
But he didn't expect that Dylan's phone couldn't be dialed, which made him very annoyed, his son, he knew best, he usually likes to spend time drinking, and dare to do things that are out of tune.
When it is reliable, it is only after he wakes up, and now he can't get through to his phone, which means that the guy yesterday didn't know where he went to play, and he was still sleeping lazy.
And his estimate was really wrong, because at this time, Dylan didn't sleep at all, but hid directly in a high-rise apartment in the center of San Francisco.
He did participate in a party last night, I don't know how much I drank, how I finally fell asleep, early this morning, he was also woken up by the phone, when he picked up the phone and saw the time above, it was only ten o'clock, he really wanted to scold his mother.
But after receiving the call, he was stupid, because before he could scold his mother, there was a piercing sound of scolding his mother on the other end of the phone. A call from Forrell.
On the other end of the phone, Chris asked him vigorously, did he watch the TV news, things have changed, something happened in the Red River Valley, what will happen to their money?
Dylan was bombarded by Chris's repeated bombardments, and his head was about to blow up, and finally he was forced by Chris to hang up the phone directly, and he originally wanted to sleep for a while, but he really couldn't sleep, got up and turned on the TV to take a look, and when he saw the content of the news broadcast, he couldn't help but be stupid.
What is this?
Wasn't the matter of land acquisition in the Red River Valley originally quite simple? How the hell is it like this? That red-necked cowboy actually sued in front of the news media?
I wiped it, and in the end, I actually shook out the matter of land acquisition for high-speed rail construction, which is special, but it's over.
Dylan may not be as steady as his dad Thomas and aunt Petty, but he understands the power of the modern Internet and news media.
And he is relatively young, and he understands more about the various mentalities of modern people, and this matter is now magnified to such an extent that he just watched the news in the morning and knew that the high-speed rail construction project should be yellow.
Now that the emotions of the people are so excited, coupled with the constant agitation of those behind-the-scenes promoters, in this matter, those ordinary people will definitely not give up if they do not achieve their goal.
And at such a time, who else dares to stand up and speak for the high-speed rail construction project?
Isn't anyone who dares to stand up and speak at this time be foolish? I'm afraid that the governor who was staggered with his father at the beginning would not dare to take the lead easily at this time, right?
That old guy, I'm afraid he doesn't regurgitate on TV, even if he's interesting enough.
Dylan quickly deduced the final outcome of the incident through various news media reports on TV, and it seemed that the high-speed rail construction project led by him and his father was going to be tragic.
But more importantly, if the project is not successful, then he will be tragic, because before that, he had quietly engaged in private equity several times in Silicon Valley......
This Dylan is a loser to put it bluntly, he has been mixed in Silicon Valley for the past few years, but he hasn't made any money, although a few projects have been acquired, but the people behind the acquisition are actually his father, just to save face for him, so he didn't have half a penny, and he didn't have much money, but he still got a little reputation in Silicon Valley......
And this gave him a good opportunity to raise funds! (To be continued.) )8
