Chapter 553 The little black hand behind the scenes

(Thanks to friends Falling Leaves Returning to Roots, Fan Er Dinosaur Aoao, Bai Shao, let me take a look first, luciferfiend, my lost soul monthly ticket for encouragement)

Congressman Bauer Zhang Luo's charity auction will be held in Helena, and not only rich people with industries here in Montana will come to participate, but many other rich people will also come here.

From this auction, it can also be seen that Ball's personal connections are indeed very strong.There are many various charity auctions every year, and people don't go to participate in every one, because they would be so busy.

Liu Heming and his wife took Alex with them, and they were very casually dressed.This casualness does not mean that they are not dressed properly, but that they are as comfortable as possible, and they are all formal attire.The most beautiful one has to be said to be Alex, she is wearing a small skirt, with a white tail squatting on her shoulders, she looks beautiful.

"Kroenke, I'm lucky to see you, otherwise I don't have many acquaintances here." Liu Heming was very happy to catch a glimpse of Kroenke by accident.

"I was still wondering why I didn't see you. It turned out that you were all hiding in a corner." Kroenke said with some surprise.

"No way, I don't know everyone very well, and I don't bother to socialize." Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Haha, it's actually just the beginning, so you have a feeling that you can't integrate into it. I think you can get along with us old men. For those of us in the old world, you are more in line with your appetite." Kroenke said jokingly.

"What are people from the old world? Just like those red wines, there are old world and new world?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"In fact, this is a saying that has only been circulated in recent years. It divides the rich into old and new. Those who do business like us are called people in the old world, while those rich who have risen through industries such as the Internet and IT They are called the people of the New World." Kroenke said with a smile.

"Many times they rise rapidly with an idea or a piece of software, but they cannot withstand the impact of the market and do not have their own background. Just like in Silicon Valley, some rich people are born every day, but there are also many rich people every day. millionaires go bankrupt.”

"Then I'm half-new and not old. It seems that I haven't accumulated much time, and now I still owe a whole lot of debt." Liu Heming joked.

"That's only how much. As long as your ranch can continue to supply those high-quality ingredients, as well as those truffles, giant morels, and potatoes, I think you can easily repay such a small loan." Karen Ke said indifferently.

"However, there are a lot of investments to be made in my ranch. Thinking about it now, I will have to live a tight life in the future." Liu Heming said with a bitter face on purpose.

"Maybe this is the price of arrogance." He had just finished speaking when an unpleasant voice came from behind him.

Liu Heming turned his head and saw that it was Wen Sen who was fighting with him in the air.

"Hey, did you come here in a small plane this time?" Liu Heming asked with a smile.

"I have investigated your assets, and your current debt ratio is very high. As long as you encounter a situation, you will go bankrupt." Vincent was not angry, but looked at him and said with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, but it seems really difficult for me to go bankrupt. In two months, the new greenhouse in the pasture will be able to produce output, and the sales of vegetables seem to be pretty good now." Liu Heming shrugged shoulder said.

"I saw some ingredients in your refrigerator last time, but they're not very good. A person with status like you should eat the high-grade ingredients produced by our ranch."

"Don't worry about money. Money is for spending. If you don't spend it, the money will not belong to you. Sooner or later, it will be someone else's. Boy, come on. If you are in a tight financial situation, I can prepare a special one for you." Coupon card, discounts on my veggies at Tajita or Walmart."

Kroenke on the side shook his head helplessly, Liu Heming's mouth is not forgiving.

No matter how expensive his vegetables are, Vincent can afford them.He also saw photos of the two of them launching when they were fighting each other, which didn't fit Liu Heming at all.But now that Liu Heming said that, he still pissed Wen Sen off.

"Oh, that's right. There have been fewer protesters near my ranch recently. This is not good. You should support them well. If possible, you should also build some temporary houses for them outside my ranch." Liu Heming Then he said.

"After all, the weather is getting colder and colder. If there is a heavy snowfall and those people get sick from the cold, they will probably come to you, right? It's not about a scandal. Your family's business will be hit, and the stock price will fall. You He will also be punished, and I am afraid that even his current position will be lost."

Hearing his words, Wen Sen froze for a moment, then frowned.

"Aren't you surprised? Are you surprised? How do I know you provoked this?" Liu Heming said triumphantly.

"You were just making trouble for me, but I didn't expect things to get out of control now. These people don't want to just give up, but want to continue. And you need to continue to support them, or they will expose you .”

"Serious businessman, what kind of conspiracy and tricks are you learning? It's all right now. Put yourself in it? Come on, winter is coming."

Vincent gave him an ugly look, then turned and left.

"It's not really what you said. He recruited those who protested in the past, right?" Seeing Vincent's ugly face, Kroenke asked curiously.

"It's him." Liu Heming nodded, "I don't know whether he is naive or stupid. He thought he was doing it very secretively, but there are loopholes everywhere. Just follow the lead of those protesters to check back, and it's easy to find out. It's him. Although he also instigates others to contact, the transaction is still done in cash, but are those people so easy to deal with?"

"Dexter, I found that you are really bad. No wonder you gave hot soup to those people recently. Your idea is to make them last longer?" Kroenke was speechless asked.

Liu Heming nodded happily, "It's just ordinary soup. At most, some water and eggs will be wasted. I plan to give them a few tents in a while."

"For those people, why don't they make more money for such an easy money business? And now that it's profitable, a gang called 'Happy Boys' near my ranch has already taken over the business, he thought It's even harder to get out."

"These people don't care who you are, they only care about money. I just want to make those people earn more. Protesting every day is very hard and not easy."

Kroenke really didn't know what to say.Although Liu Heming said it lightly, Wen Sen was not really naive or stupid, and he must have been prepared to pick himself out during the transaction.But even so, Liu Heming still found out.

What's more, Liu Heming is not a person who is afraid of trouble, and now he has attracted the gang. If Wen Sen is entangled by the gang, it will be a nightmare for him all his life.

As a person in the upper class of the United States, you can be dirty in private, but on the surface, you must be glamorous.Your character image is your resource.But it's a gang, as long as you are attached to them, you will never be able to get rid of it.Unless you go to a more powerful gang, but that's just a change of person.

"You don't have to look at me like that, I'm also a victim, okay?" Liu Heming said pitifully.

"The tourists in my ranch, and the sales of vegetables in your two supermarkets have all been affected. This is delaying my money, so I am the real victim."

"Haha, I found out, I must not have any unpleasantness with you." Kroenke said with a smile.

"I can't help it, or my life will be even more difficult in the future." Liu Heming put away his laugh and said with a bitter face.

"In the past, there were situations where the state police rushed directly into my ranch. This time, so many people came to protest, and the state police only came to take a look, and then handed it over to our police station in Xiangshui Town."

"As a foreigner, doing business in the United States needs to pay and bear too many things. This time it was just an ordinary protest, and no conflicts occurred. But what about in the future? Will there be other people making such excuses? Come here. If there is a conflict, I'm afraid I, too, will go from victim to defendant."

Kroenke nodded, this matter was not exaggerated by Liu Heming, but could really happen.Even if he didn't want to admit it, he couldn't refute it.

"What are you talking about?" At this moment, Ball came over with a wine glass.

"Just chatting. I think today's auction will be very good. I have only seen many rich people on TV." Liu Heming said with a smile.

"Haha, I would also like to thank you for your contribution of mead and potatoes." Bauer said happily.

The things auctioned in charity auctions may not be of great value. Everyone is doing this for charity.As for Liu Heming's participation this time, he also contributed his own local products.Three barrels of mead and one hundred kilograms of potatoes.

This is not a small contribution, after all, mead and potatoes are still very popular these days, especially since these potatoes have been canceled for auction.

Liu Heming's support for him is very strong. It can be said that Liu Heming's local products are very cost-effective among the lots that will be auctioned today, and many people are keen to participate.

Liu Heming smiled and didn't say anything. Anyway, he didn't plan to spend money to participate in the auction today. It's fine if he contributed local products.There are many places that need money in the ranch, and the Wildlife Management Bureau can't tell how many animals it will send to itself.
