Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 682 Political Connection Party (Two in One)

At night, Lin Baicheng's manor on the outskirts of Houston was brightly lit.

The party started at seven o'clock, but from 06:30, people came to the manor one after another.

Of course, the big shots are always the finale, and it's the same in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad.

However, Lin Baicheng warmly greeted the guests who came, such as party members and mayors, and his private secretaries and assistants also shared some for him. talking.

"Carter, welcome to the party!"

Lin Baicheng, who saw Jean Carter entering the manor from a distance, finished chatting with others and walked over to Jean Carter.

"Alan, long time no see."

Jean Carter shook hands with Lin Baicheng.

"It's been a while."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile: "There is no way, my career focus is on Xiangjiang, so I can only find time to come here every year."

"Alan, your career in the United States is getting bigger and bigger, you need to care more." Jean Carter said.

"that's for sure."

Lin Baicheng nodded: "My career is inseparable from everyone's support. I also support the Elephant Party and Reagan. Even if I am not on the American side, I should have the support."

"Mr. Reagan would be very happy if he knew of your support, Allen."

Jean Carter was a member of Reagan's presidential campaign team. He and Reagan had a common interest. Only when Reagan became president could he enter the judiciary and receive strong support.

With Jean Carter's contacts, he can already serve in the judiciary, but he can only serve as a city-level judge at most. But if he has the support of the president, once he enters the judiciary, he can hold a higher position. A higher starting point.

In every presidential election, in addition to representatives of the capital, the presidential candidate’s campaign team also has some top-notch figures in terms of ability and connections. The reason why they join the campaign team is to reward them after the president is competent. Arrange them for important positions in the White House or other agencies.

"By the way, Alan, thank you for your cooperation with Xinghe Game Company."

"Galaxy Games itself needs a cooperative law firm to provide legal advice and fight lawsuits. It is not a bad thing to have another cooperative law firm. This cooperation is beneficial to everyone. There is no need for Carter to thank me specifically."

Lin Baicheng smiled. He knew that Jean Carter owed him a favor, which would have to be repaid in the future, and he was not worried that Jean Carter would not be able to repay it, let alone that it would happen that Jean Carter would not repay it.

The law firm that Jean Carter worked for before was founded by the Carter family. Although this firm is not considered top-notch in the United States, it is still among the first-class. Jean Carter approached Lin Baicheng and wanted Carter's firm to become a Lin Baicheng, one of the company's partner firms, agreed to help.

It is beneficial for Carter's firm to become a partnership firm of Galaxy Games. First, there is a fixed annual consulting fee, even if nothing is done. Lawsuits by large companies are inevitable every year.

In addition to monetary income, there is also training the team, allowing the lawyers of the firm to have something to do, and expanding the reputation of the firm.The more big companies that cooperate with the firm and the more lawsuits they win, the greater the reputation of the firm will be, allowing more rich people or enterprises to cooperate with the firm.

It was precisely because of the many benefits that Jean Carter asked Lin Baicheng for help, and wanted to cooperate with Xinghe Game Company, for which he even owed Lin Baicheng a favor.

Jean Carter thought it was worthwhile, because he also wanted to have more contacts with Lin Baicheng through the debt of favor to Lin Baicheng, to deepen the friendship between the two parties, and then gradually become Lin Baicheng's cooperative lawyer.

Once he can become Lin Baicheng's own cooperative lawyer, then Lin Baicheng's companies and firms in the United States can become partners. In this way, the annual income of the firm can be at least several million dollars, and the scale of the firm can also be expanded.

Jean Carter has not mentioned the matter of in-depth cooperation with Lin Baicheng now, because he feels that the time is not right now, the friendship between the two parties is not deep, and his own status is not very high. If you fail, it is better to wait until you are sure.

"Alan, I must remember this favor."

Jean Carter didn't say much, but he still said that he remembered this favor.

Lin Baicheng and Jean Carter didn't chat for too long, and after other VIPs from the elephant party came, he went over to greet them.

Soon after, Anthony Davis arrived with Bush Sr.

Reagan came last, and he certainly didn't come alone, he brought the rest of the campaign with him.Although it was a party held by Lin Baicheng this time, the guests were the important members of the Xiang Party, so it was not a platform for him to win the support of these people.

At present, Reagan has not yet become the presidential candidate of the Elephant Party, and there are still people competing with him. Although he has the upper hand, anything can happen before the final result comes out. It's all very important to him.

The "friendship" between Lin Baicheng and Reagan is the deepest, without it, whoever makes Lin Baicheng donate the most to Reagan's politics is also one of the most supporters of Reagan.

It's just one thing, Lin Baicheng did not overwhelm everyone in the limelight, not because he was not willing to give up the little money, but because it would offend other colleagues and make him add some opponents for no reason, which is inappropriate.

"Reagan, welcome to my party!"

"Alan, I miss me so much, we haven't seen each other for a while."

The smile on Reagan's face was very sincere. Although he was only a third-rate actor in the past, his acting skills have improved a lot since he entered politics. Now, in terms of acting skills, he is definitely the top group, and few people can compare to him.

Lin Baicheng couldn't see the traces of Reagan's performance, but he knew that Reagan was acting, and he was doing it for him and others, just because the relationship between the two was not that good, and the two were just a cooperative relationship of mutual interests .

However, Lin Baicheng will not expose this kind of thing, and he can still be good friends if he sees it through.

After Reagan arrived, all the invited guests came and the party officially started.

After the party started, Lin Baicheng of course greeted the guests and chatted one by one. Each of them only chatted for a few minutes first, and there was no in-depth communication for the time being.

After some busy work, more than half an hour passed like this.

After a lap, Lin Baicheng found Reagan, and the two had a good chat this time.

Reagan first thanked Lin Baicheng for his support, and then said that Lin Baicheng could continue to support him and give him more support.He did not tell Lin Baicheng about his campaign platform, that was for the voters to hear. He very directly stated that he would give Lin Baicheng a corresponding reward after being elected, and he could ask him for help when necessary.

Reagan did not say these words to Lin Baicheng alone. He said these words to Lin Baicheng in front of other members of the campaign team, as a guarantee to Lin Baicheng.

And such a guarantee is exactly what Lin Baicheng needed, and at the same time Reagan took the initiative to seek support to express his position.

"Reagan, of course I will continue to support you, and will give you even greater support."

After Reagan sought support, Lin Baicheng naturally wanted to express his opinion. He said: "In addition to some political donations, I will let the employees of my company know you better. I think they will support you." Such words cannot be said Too dead, so as not to leave a story and be accused of manipulating the election.

"What's more, I'm preparing to set up two charitable funds in the United States recently. One of the charitable funds has a scale of 3000 million U.S. dollars, and the funds will be used for charity."

"During Reagan's election campaign, you could decide how to use charitable funds, and you could decide how to do charity. As long as it is truly charitable, then I have no opinion."

Although if the decision-making power of the charity fund is temporarily handed over to Reagan, it is very likely that Reagan will use up all the 3000 million US dollars in charity funds during the campaign to add chips to his own campaign, but as long as he is really doing charity, it will be considered as a whole. Lin Baicheng can accept it even if he spends all of it.

This fund itself is used for charity, and it can be used to give Reagan greater support, so that Lin Baicheng can get more returns from Reagan, and he does not lose but earns.

"Alan, thank you for your support. With your support, I am more confident of winning the election."

Reagan shook Lin Baicheng's hand excitedly when he heard the words. With 3000 million US dollars of charitable funds, he had already imagined how much he could do with this fund, and he would definitely win the support of a large number of voters through charitable activities.

The 3000 million US dollars in charitable funds has exceeded Reagan's total political donations by more than [-]%, which is definitely a big deal.

Others on the Reagan campaign were also excited because their interests aligned with Reagan's.

Jean Carter asked aloud: "Alan, when will your charitable fund be established? Also, you just said that you want to establish two charitable funds. What about the other charitable fund?"

Reagan also listened to the news, and of course he wanted to get more support, so if possible, he also wanted to get the right to use the funds of another charitable fund.

"My two charitable funds, one is a donation from a sole proprietorship, and I can completely decide. The other is a donation from a non-sole proprietorship. I need to discuss with other shareholders the specific amount of donation and how to use the funds, etc. , I can’t make the decision completely, I need to consider the interests of other shareholders.”

Lin Baicheng explained the reason, and then said: "As for when the charity fund will be established, I can't confirm the specific time now. I can only say that it must be established before July, and it will not affect the presidential election."

"Alan, if possible, I hope you can establish the charitable fund as soon as possible. The sooner it is established, the better it will be for Mr. Reagan."

It was another member of Reagan's campaign team who spoke out. It was hard for Reagan himself to say such things. After all, Lin Baicheng had already given a lot of support, and he couldn't push him any further, so this 'bad guy' could only be done by other people.

"I'll try my best."

Lin Baicheng nodded, looked at Reagan and said, "Since it is beneficial to Reagan's campaign, of course I will do it well sooner. This will be beneficial to Reagan and will be beneficial to me in the future."

"Alan, don't worry, I will keep in mind your support for me so much, we are good friends." Reagan said aloud.

"Yes, we are good friends."

A smile appeared on Lin Baicheng's face.

After everyone chatted for a while, Reagan said that he had something to discuss with Lin Baicheng in private, so he asked Carter and others to leave, and Lin Baicheng and Reagan walked to a place where no one was around.

Reagan said to Lin Baicheng: "Alan, I have a private matter and I want to ask you for help."

"You say, I will try my best."

Lin Baicheng didn't make a guarantee, because he didn't know what Reagan was asking him for help.

Reagan said: "Alan, you have a film production company in Hollywood, right?"

Lin Baicheng nodded: "There is such a company, but the scale is small, and it can barely be regarded as a second-rate Hollywood production company."

Reagan asked, "So, is your company short of writers and producers?"

"Of course, my company very much welcomes excellent talents to join."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile, if he guessed correctly, Reagan should have arranged for someone to join the company, which is not a big deal at all.It is of course best if this person is capable. If he is not capable, he spends money to support him. It is to give Reagan face.

Reagan said: "Maureen, her name is Maureen Reagan, she used to be an actor, and now she is working as a screenwriter in a small film company. She wants to develop into a screenwriter and producer. I hope her dream can come true."

"Maureen Reagan?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help being moved when he heard the words. If he remembered correctly, Reagan and his ex-wife had a daughter with this name, and she was nearly 40 years old now.

"She is my daughter. I want to ask Alan to help her realize her dream. This is my personal request."

Maureen Reagan is Reagan's daughter after all. Although he has now formed a new family and even has a son, this does not mean that he has no relationship with his daughter. He certainly wants to help his daughter when he is able , Give my daughter a good job.

That's right, it's just a good job, it has nothing to do with dreams, it's just nice to say.I am almost 40 years old, and I still talk about dreams. The daily necessities in life are more important.

"no problem."

Lin Baicheng agreed: "Reagan, I can promise to let your daughter become the screenwriter and producer of the company, but I will not support her unconditionally in terms of production. I will give her a chance, but if she is not capable enough, I suggested that she change careers and turn to administrative management. The management of Morningstar Films has 10% equity incentives, and if she does well, she may be able to get a certain amount of incentive equity.”

"Of course I won't make things difficult for Alan. If she is not capable enough, let her turn to administrative management."

Of course, Reagan would not have any objection when he heard the words. He just wanted a high-paying job for his daughter, and the management is also very good. If he can succeed in the election this time, he believes that Lin Baicheng will arrange for his daughter well, and even give him some support. Incentive equity, so he can rest assured.

Later, Reagan asked Lin Baicheng not to tell Nancy, his current wife, about this matter, saying that his wife didn't like his ex-wife's daughter, and Lin Baicheng naturally agreed.
