Video Game Empire

Li Xuan stayed in the United States until mid-February, before returning to Hong Kong before the Spring Festival. ∽↗∽↗ǎn∽↗小∽↗ said that he had hoped to reach a tacit understanding with those who secretly spied on the Eastern Group, but the other party obviously did not give up his plan to take a bite of fat from him.

The pollution incident at the Taiwan branch of ra was actually quickly quelled by Li Xuan. Because it is difficult for the American media to continue to get news of eye-catching events. Mr Nixon, who previously provided most of their firepower, has been investigated by the judiciary on suspicion of taking bribes abroad.

What's more, the American people who have always been self-centered, it is difficult to have a high interest in pollution incidents in foreign countries. Therefore, there is no need for the media to continue to hype this incident, but Li Xuan's crisis has not passed.

On the second day of New Year's Day in 1985, The New York Times suddenly published an editorial, "The New Identity of China's Richest Man--A Congressman in Red China? "! The matter of Li Xuan being a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference who was added last year was finally used by the American media as a reason to attack him.

Although the "New York Post" and "The New York Times" are only one word apart, their influence is very different. Since the "New York Post" was acquired by the Australian newspaper giant Murdoch in 1976, it changed its original serious style and quickly became a fake news with various controversies, scandals, and even random fabrications. A roadside tabloid that makes headlines.

In contrast, the influence and credibility of The New York Times are significantly higher. Li Xuan's new post as a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference last year was likened to an American congressman by the editorial writer. There are many references throughout the article. Li Xuan may have some unknown close links with the Chinese government. The article was just about to make it clear that he was an agent sent by the Chinese government to infiltrate the United States!

Despite the fact that Sino-US relations have been easing in recent years, it seems to have entered the most friendly honeymoon period in history. But that was the need for both sides to fight against the Red Soviet Union together. In fact, the anti-China forces in the United States have never disappeared, but some fierce opposition voices have been temporarily suppressed.

But now, a senior official in red China, waving a lot of dollars, is coming to America to make waves. Many ultra-conservatives seem to have found the target at once, and involuntarily point the finger at Li Xuan and the Dongfang Group.

The editorials of The New York Times have always been known for being free and open, but Li Xuan has already smelled a strong conspiracy. January 3. It is the day when the new members of the US Congress are officially sworn in. And then on January 4, after the congressional recess period ended. On the first day of the official resumption of operations, there are generally no major issues.

January 4th happens to be a Friday, so Congress will wait until the following Monday, January 7th. Only gradually entered the normal working state. Newly appointed junior senator from Tennessee. Mr. Albert Gore, the first to put forward to the parliament, hope that the Senate Science and Technology Committee and the House of Representatives Science and Technology Committee will form a temporary joint committee to review the Eastern Group's acquisition of ra last year and its operations in North America. , hold a special investigative hearing!

In addition to holding plenary meetings to discuss and vote on various important matters, the Senate and House of Representatives in the United States also have several standing committees. to be responsible for various specialized tasks. The Science and Technology Committee, for example, is one of 16 standing committees in the Senate. Mainly responsible for handling most of the bills related to technology in Congress.

Although Albert Gore is only 36 years old this year, he is a rising political star in the Democratic Party. He was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives on behalf of Tennessee in 1976 and served four consecutive terms. In last year's election, Gore turned to challenge for the Senate seat.

There are more than 400 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, each serving only two years. There are only 100 Senate seats, two from each state, serving up to six-year terms. Therefore, the political influence and campaign difficulty of senators are much higher than that of congressmen.

After Reagan entered the White House in 1980, he launched a series of reform policies, which brought the United States into a period of rare economic prosperity. This directly led to the Republican general election last year, and the election has been bullish all the way! Reagan himself won 49 of 50 states in the two-person presidential race, the widest margin ever. Republicans also dipped in President Reagan's light, winning the Senate majority from Democrats by 55 seats to 45 seats in one fell swoop.

Compared with before the election, Democrats lost 8 seats in the Senate in one go. But even in this extremely unfavorable election situation, Gore, who ran for the Senate for the first time, steadily defeated the Republican candidate with 60% of the vote, grabbing a Senate seat for the Democrats.

The U.S. Senate has only 100 members in total, but it has as many as 16 standing committees. There are at least 4 or 5 members on each committee, and more than 7, 8 or even a dozen members, so each senator will serve on at least one standing committee.

And which committees can join, in fact, can also reflect a member's influence in the parliament. For example, the Foreign Affairs Committee, the Finance Committee, and the Judiciary Committee are among the most important standing committees in the Senate.

In contrast, although the Science and Technology Committee of the Senate is not so powerful, it is by no means the Qingshui Yamen. Gore was already the chairman of the House Technology Committee when he was a member of the House of Representatives. So as soon as he served in the Senate, he was immediately invited to serve as a member of the Senate's Science and Technology Committee.

Li Xuan has been keenly aware of the change in the wind direction, although he spent a lot of money to establish a political protection network in the United States. But Li Xuan is an outsider after all. Compared with the local forces that have been operating for decades or even hundreds of years, he is still incompetent.

Since the other party is going to show his fangs to the Dongfang Group, he must have been fully prepared. Rather than being passively beaten, take the initiative to attack! In this way, the opponent can be caught off guard and gain the initiative quickly.

And this Congressman Gore is the back-up that Li Xuan reserved in advance! He met the future Vice President for the first time. It was at a social dinner in New York two years ago. At that time, Li Xuan came to New York to reconcile with Company B, taking advantage of the ab-3 computer to defeat the P computer.

Gore is running for the Senate this time, and Li Xuan is one of the biggest sponsors behind him! By the Science and Technology Committee responsible for scientific and technological matters. It is natural to have an investigation hearing on the Oriental Group.

But Gore has just been elected to the Senate, and he has no seniority in the Senate at all. So he very cleverly proposed that a temporary joint committee should be formed by the science and technology committees of the Senate and the House of Representatives to be responsible for this investigation. Because the new chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee, who just took office, was personally invited by him to become a member of the House Science and Technology Committee a few years ago, and he was later promoted to the vice chairman of the Science and Technology Committee.

This time Gore turned to run for the Senate. Therefore, after the other party was successfully re-elected to the Federal House of Representatives, he was promoted to the chairman of the House Science and Technology Committee according to the usual practice. After the two chambers are combined, Gore can use his influence over the House of Representatives. Come and raise your voice throughout the investigative hearing!

The first time Gore submitted the bill to Congress, Li Xuan also accepted it very timely, a joint interview with The Wall Street Journal and The Washington Post. When talking with reporters, he said that Oriental Group is a foreign enterprise. Always endure some malicious eyes of discrimination and slander. But the Eastern Bloc is willing to cooperate unconditionally with the congressional investigation. Come and prove your innocence!

One is willing to fight, the other is willing to suffer! Li Xuan also used the Speaker of the House of Representatives O'Neal, as well as Senator Edward Kennedy, Vice President Bush Sr. and other influential figures in the two parties to actively mediate. So the Senate and the House of Representatives soon passed the proposal to form a joint committee to conduct an investigation hearing on the Oriental Group!

The person in charge of investigating this case is the new Senate Mr. Gore. From January 2, the "New York Times" suddenly published an editorial, turning its attention to Li Xuan, to the decision of the Senate and the House of Representatives to form a joint science and technology committee. It took only ten days before Congress agreed to hold a hearing on the Eastern Bloc.

It can be said that the other party has not had time to enlarge the move. Li Xuan has made a perfect defense. In fact, in addition to the Science and Technology Committee, the Intelligence Committees of the Senate and House of Representatives are also qualified to investigate the Eastern Group. But the intelligence committee's water is much deeper than the science and technology committee. If they are responsible for intervening, Li Xuan is likely to lose control of the situation completely.

Unlike now, Comrade Gore, who is in charge of the investigation, is simply wearing a pair of pants with Li Xuan. When the final conclusion is reached, the Oriental Group is naturally a good company that not only provides a lot of tax payment for the United States, but also provides a lot of employment for the United States.

As the founder and owner of Oriental Group, Li Xuan went to Capitol Hill to attend the first hearing in person. After this hearing, Li Xuan believes that he will not need to worry about the pressure from Congress for at least three to five years.

After all, a comprehensive investigation of a large company like the Oriental Group requires a lot of manpower and material resources. The various documents provided by the Eastern Group to the investigation committee alone amount to hundreds of thousands of pages. The whole process can be as short as three or five months, and it may take a year or two as long!

Because if the investigation of the Dongfang Group has just been completed here, someone over there proposes to re-investigate it. This must have been sprayed to death by the voters! Since this is simply a waste of taxpayer dollars, can't Congress do something more meaningful?

Unlike in another time and space, Huawei, CNOOC-Oil and other domestic companies that have been overshadowed, Li Xuan has not only won enough initiative in Capitol Hill, but also has a broadcaster with the largest viewership share in the United States to wash the ground for himself. !

For example, what kind of position is a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in China, and how is it different from a member of Congress in the United States? If Li Xuan is not the boss of nb TV station, it is naturally impossible to appear on nb's morning ace talk show "Meet the Media" to explain it to the American audience in person!

Li Xuan flew back to New York from Washington after the congressional investigation hearings were on track. After completing the last course, he completed all the credits three months ahead of schedule and successfully obtained a BA degree from Columbia University Business School.

Afterwards, Li Xuan and his sister who asked for leave took a private plane back to Hong Kong for the Spring Festival. He stayed in the United States for more than three months this time, which can be said to be the longest stay in the United States except for the last acquisition of ra company.

The American media has always advertised its country as a free and competitive market. Since this is the case, it should not discriminate against foreign companies! In cooperation with the congress' investigation, the Eastern Group has also worked hard to portray itself as a weak figure who is excluded and persecuted.

It is believed that after this turmoil, the Oriental Group will further integrate into the US economy. The Oriental Group has now shown enough resistance, and after others can't take too much advantage, naturally they can only slowly acquiesce to its status.

Just like the later Columbia Pictures, when Sony just acquired it, there was an uproar in the entire United States, which directly triggered a huge wave of boycotts in the entire society. But Sony has persisted tenaciously. Before Li Xuan's rebirth, Sony Pictures had been completely accepted by Hollywood and the American entertainment industry, becoming one of the new six major film companies.

The current situation of Li Xuan and Dongfang Group is much better than that of Sony in a few years. At least he did not arouse the disgust of ordinary people. On the contrary, whether it is Dongfang Games or Aikang Computer, these brands have already gained a high reputation and reputation among the American people.

Of course, it's not that Li Xuan didn't make some compromises. For example, the action of the nb broadcaster was finally handed over to the investment bank Morgan Stanley. And a company with a strong interest in the media industry o Jack Welch ~ www.readwn.com ~ finally decided to invest 2.5 billion US dollars in cash to acquire 40% of the shares of nb broadcasting company from Li Xuan.

After the completion of the future, the shares of nb broadcasting company held by Li Xuan will be further diluted to 45%, giving up the absolute controlling position. The company that still holds 30% of the shares after dilution will also become the second largest shareholder of nb broadcasting company.

In this crisis caused by the ra pollution incident, nb company nominally upholds a fair and neutral position, but in fact it has always been an important weapon for Li Xuan to reverse unfavorable public opinion. The fact that nb, the nation's largest broadcaster, is in the hands of foreign capital has always upset some people.

And this incident gave these people further reasons to worry, so Li Xuan simply took the opportunity to invite the company to join the game. This will not only restore the neutral image of the nb company, but also allow him to reap a sum of $2.5 billion in cash.

With this cash income, Li Xuan's acquisition of ra company before, and the multi-billion dollar loan from the syndicated loan can be wiped off most of it, and he can deal with various challenges more calmly! (To be continued..)

ps: ps: There may be too many American politics in the last few chapters, and everyone doesn't seem to like to read them! Then just end it!
