Chapter 875

The negotiations in the morning did not make much progress . Pritzker stated that he would need to contact the Capital . Jiang Chen was not in a hurry . After all, there was still a week away from the opening of the Summit . He had plenty of time to wait for the outcome of the Capital’s discussion .

Graphene and cloud technology both possessed great value in the global market, but Bet4 drones were not the same and didn’t apply to all markets . It could even be said that from the East Coast to the West Coast, the market was barely existent .

Taking Hua as an example, leaving behind a number of widely criticized but inconveniently mentioned problems, the procedure for visiting a doctor was inherently much simpler than that of Western countries, and doctors were not as “noble” compared to the capitalist world and the hospital operating costs wererelatively low . Although its level of medical care in the world ranking may be unsatisfactory, its cost-effectiveness was undoubtedly at the forefront, which was also recognized by the world . It was also the reason why many people who get sick abroad still choose to seek a doctor domestically .

In this environment, the market space for Bet4 drones was naturally narrow .

In the same way, logistics drones would be less useful in the North America market . A perfect example of a product unfitted to compete in the market due to different habits .

After leaving the Pritzker’s hotel, Jiang Chen got into Lawrence’s car . To have a FBA official be his driver was not a treatment everyone could enjoy .

“Where are we going next?”

“Los Santos City Hall . It’s still early . I’ll have to visit the Los Santos Mayor and then have lunch with him . In the afternoon … I have to go to Hollywood . I don’t have the opportunity to come here often so I’m going to meet my old friend . ” Jiang Chen looked at the schedule of Xia Shiyu planned for him and said to Lawrence, who was driving .

Surrounded by modern skyscrapers, the City Hall with a dome resembled the Mausoleum, looking retro and small . However, this magnificent tower was still the most well-known landmark in Los Santos . This municipal building often appeared in Hollywood blockbusters, such as the Daily Planet newspaper, where Superman works .

They soon arrived at City Hall . In the square in front of the City Hall, Los Santos Mayor, Eric Gashiti, personally met with Jiang Chen and invited him to his office .

It was very easy to communicate with the mayor, much easier than the officials from the federal government . The most important reason for this was that Mr . Gashiti was more focused on immediate interests than the interests of the entire federal government .

Local government and the federal government were two independent systems . This provided Jiang Chen with a lot of conveniences . Just an empty promise for a multi-billion investment, he received preferential tax-reduction and tax-free policies from the city of Los Santos .

Now Los Santos was desperate for investment from foreign capital . The soaring crude oil prices continued to weaken the dollar, and the refugee problem made the economy even worse . Although Los Santos was the economic center on the west coast, it still had difficulty shaking off the looming economic crisis .

Of course, Eric’s policy benefit to Jiang Chen was also empty promises .

Only when Future Group invests in Los Santos, will these policies actually be honored .

However, these were minor issues . Before Jiang Chen arrived, he was quite optimistic about the manufacturing industry in Cali . According to the forecast set out by Future Group’s economic analysts, if oil prices continued to rise, the dollar would continue to weaken, and a new round of economic crisis was already foreseeable .

By then, if Future Group could rely on its high self-sufficiency trust model to gain a firm foothold in the economic crisis, it could completely free up its hands to acquire overseas assets . The West Coast would be the starting point for Future Group to enter the North American market . Investment in Los Santos wouldn’t be a bad choice by then .

After discussing all the items on his agenda, Eric Gashiti enthusiastically invited Jiang Chen to have lunch at the City Hall . Jiang Chen, who already had this idea, was naturally pleased with the proposal . The food in the City Hall was fantastic . Except for the creamy dessert, which was not Jiang Chen’s favorite, the roasted black pepper steak and the creamy corn soup were especially addictive .

After lunch, Jiang Chen bid farewell with Eric Gashiti and left the City Hall building .

When he got into Lawrence’s car, the agent supervisor was leaning against the car door with a coke and a beef burger . After seeing Jiang Chen get into the car, he quickly finished the food in his hands, crumbled the oily wrapper and stuffed it into a plastic bag before throwing it into the trash can next to him, then he got into the driver’s seat .

“You only ate a hamburger?”

“In fact, it tasted pretty good . ” Lawrence grinned and started the car . “We are going to Hollywood?”

“Yes . ” Jiang Chen opened the holographic screen of his watch and slid his finger across the translucent map in front of him before reaching a place marked with a red dot . “The exact location is here . ”

Lawrence saw that the map in front of him clearly and was shocked for a second, then he said enviously, “It’s a really convenient tool . ”

Hollywood was located on the outskirts of Los Santos . It was surrounded by mountains, a mild climate, and pleasant scenery . It was not only the center of the global music film industry but it was also a true “wealthy area” in Los Santos . Many wealthy people would choose to purchase mansions there . If a person’s name could be printed as the “producer” of a film with major investments, that person would be the focus of attention at any party .

For example, a guy who made his fortune with firearms and gold .

“Welcome! Haha, my old friend, you finally came to see me!”

Seeing that grin, Jiang Chen, with a big smile on his face, hugged him . Although he didn’t spend too long with this guy, the experience they shared in Iraq developed a strong friendship between the two .

Or else when he was in South Africa, he would not have taken such a big risk as to give the last batch of arms to Jiang Chen .

Whether he was doing it for the money or not, he did indeed do Jiang Chen a favor .

“I just got off the plane yesterday . You have to let me get over my jet lag . ”

“Mr . Agent Supervisor, I haven’t seen you for a long time . ” Robert noticed Lawrence behind Jiang Chen and also said hello .

Lawrence with an indifferent expression lit up a cigarette and blew out an impatient smoke ring . He said impolitely .

“I feel inexplicably upset when I see you jumping around on this . ”

Robert said with a grin, “Hey, man, don’t be like that . You have to give me credit for you being in this position now . ”

Lawrence scoffed but did not speak . He clearly agreed with this point .

Although Robert was once on the FBA’s blacklist, it was already two years ago . It is impossible for the FBA to monitor a person for a lifetime . As long as he proved that he completely withdrew from the arms business, the FBA would naturally stop monitoring him .

Just out of habit, Lawrence subjectively witnessed this guy who crossed the red line of the Capital and ended up living a comfortable life . He was not too thrilled with the result .

“Come in for a drink?”

“I can’t, I can’t drink during work . ” Lawrence looked up at Robert’s mansion and declined Robert’s invitation .

“That’s really regrettable, you’re missing the party,” said Robert . Then he turned back and patted Jiang Chen’s shoulder . “Come on, man, let’s go in and have a few drinks . I said multiple times to take you to enjoy Hollywood . I happen to have a few acquaintances to introduce to you here . They are all very interested in you and I think you will also be very interested!”

“Acquaintances?” Jiang Chen asked while raising an eyebrow .

“Yes, they are famous directors and stars . ” Robert winked .
