"Have you eaten?" Li Rui asked after greetings.

Fu Shande smiled and said, "I ate it and it tasted very good. The stewardess in United Airlines' first class cabin had a better figure and left me a phone number."

Li Rui was also happy. This is really a big player.

The following chat was relatively private. Li Rui asked the others to go to rest first, and came to the hotel cafe with Fu Shande, ordering two cups of coffee while drinking.

Fu Shande also knew what Li Rui was going to listen to, so he said three things straight to the point.

"I have already joined the Donkey Whip Francis Underwood as you ask. He is not convenient to meet you, and will contact you through his assistant Douglas Stamp."

"Old Tang has been in touch with him. He has called me several times recently to ask about your details. You seem to have left a very deep impression on him."

"The lobbyist group has made some progress on the Simandu Mine, and Guinea has basically agreed to the conditions proposed by Smith Mining. However, you need to clarify the equity of Smith Mining as soon as possible. Unless the major shareholder is a native of Magnesium, please accept it.

Many things cannot be advanced.”

Li Rui nodded.

The acquisition of the Rockets is just the most insignificant of the many things that I have to deal with when I come to Magnesium this time.

The three most important things are the three things Fu Shande said.

After all, Li Rui is a native of Huaguo. If you want to extend your tentacles beyond Huaguo and get involved in the business led by large consortiums dominated by Magnesium and Hebrews, you must have the help of politicians and an identity that is not suspicious.

.

So through Fu Shande's relationship, Li Rui kept in touch with Lao Tang, and he was still elected president in five years, while joining the donkey party members who are currently in control of power.

As long as the money is in place, no matter whether he is a donkey or an elephant, it will be a helping rather than an obstacle.

"Let's find some time to meet Doug." Li Rui said, "I don't want to meet directly on Old Tang for the time being. When the software development I invested in is completed, I will contact him there."

Fu Shande nodded and wrote a few strokes on the notebook he was carrying.

"The Simandu matter continues to advance, and I will solve the equity issue of Smith Mining as soon as possible." Li Rui said.

Fu Shande said: "Do you need me to find a glove?"

Li Rui shook his head and said, "Even if those gloves fit into the palm of your hand, they are prone to problems. I must find someone who is completely trustworthy."

Fu Shande nodded and said nothing more. He said what should be said and said what should not be said. It is enough to know what level a sentence is said. This is the most basic quality of being a broker.

He changed the subject and said, "I have arranged several parties for you in the past two days to expand your network in Magnesium. One of them is in San Francisco and two in Los Angeles. This event in San Francisco is basically a newcomer in the technology circle, Los Angeles

One of the two events was a party of Hollywood producers and the other was a party of the old money circle, with many people from the Hebrew consortium attending."

Li Rui said in surprise: "Old Fu, your relationship network is wide enough, and you can get online in any circle!"

Fu Shande said proudly: "If I can't even handle this, how can I eat this bowl of rice!"

Li Rui said: "Then what capacity should I participate?"

Fu Shande said: "If you are on the safe side, it is best not to disclose your various investments in Magnesium. It is most appropriate to participate as a nouveau riche in Magnesium. Magnesium people are now envious and jealous of the rise of Magnesium. They always feel that Magnesium

The rich people in the country are all nouveau riche. Since they think so, you might as well just play like this. You have to know that in places like Magnesium, people who laugh at the poor but not the prostitutes, even those old money have a very good view of nouveau riche.

Contradictory, a little bit despised and requires the money of nouveau riche! You can take advantage of this."

"It's just my wish." Li Rui smiled.

The two chatted a lot that night.

...

Magnesium Country Time November 14th.

According to the schedule, I should have continued to stay in Silicon Valley today. Li Rui would visit snapchat, which had just been established, and then meet a development team that Fu Shande helped to contact to develop the software he needed.

A call in the morning disrupted his plan.

The phone number was called by Hao Ming.

"Li Rui, I just got a notice from the Rockets. Alexander changed his mind. He found an auction agency from somewhere and wanted to sell the team through bidding."

Li Rui frowned: "How could this happen? Did he not talk about any business ethics?"

Hao Ming sighed and said, "You may not know Alexander. He is the most profit-oriented boss I have ever met. You can use all the negative adjectives about a businessman. So I do this at all. Not surprised!”

Li Rui had long known how many weird ones there were among the NBA bosses, the Clippers bosses were counted as one, the Knicks bosses were counted as one, and Alexander must also count as one.

Many years ago, Alexander was known for being stingy, which can be seen from his unwillingness to renew his meritorious star Olajuwon. The other side of stingy is greed. It is probably because Li Rui agreed too happily, so he made Alexander has higher expectations for the value of the Rockets.

"What a bastard! Is he not satisfied with one billion magnesium?" Li Rui cursed.

Let Hao Ming deal with Alexander first, and Li Rui immediately contacted Fu Shande.

When Fu Shande heard that Alexander had changed his homage, he was also surprised and quickly called to inquire.

After making a call, Fu Shande finally figured out what was going on.

On the day Li Rui flew from Huaguo to Magnesium, Alexander revealed at a friend's party that he was about to sell the Rockets. As a result, one of his friends said he knew Oracle founder Larry Allison, and said Allison I have always wanted to acquire the NBA team.

Last year, Allison and Lacob failed to compete with the Golden State Warriors and once spoke out to acquire a team that was stronger than the Warriors.

Alexander was moved by hearing that Allison might be interested in the Rockets. After all, Allison is a rich man with the largest number of magnesium countries. After introducing his competition, he might be able to raise the price for the Rockets.

So Alexander found an auction agency and released the news that he wanted to sell the Rockets, hoping to get a higher quotation.

"That's probably what happened. What should we do now?" Fu Shande said with a little shame. This matter was made by him. Now that there is a mistake, he feels a little sorry for Li Rui.

Li Rui said lightly: "Do you think there are people who can pay one billion magnesium to buy the Rockets in addition to me?"

Fu Shande was stunned for a moment and said, "There may be, but there must be not many..."

It is indeed not too many. Although there are many rich people in the Magnesium Country, there are not many suspicions. After all, they can become rich people with a net worth of billions, and they all have extraordinary acumen.

Unless they are rich and willful, few people are willing to be surrendered.
