Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Because it was inconvenient for Lin Baicheng to leave the United States in a short period of time, Yamaguchi Baihui came to the United States to find Lin Baicheng.

The reason why Yamaguchi Momoe came to the United States recently was because her birthday was January 17th. Lin Baicheng couldn't go to Japan to celebrate her birthday, so she naturally flew from Japan to the United States to find Lin Baicheng.

Lin Baicheng also welcomed the arrival of Yamaguchi Momoe. It can even be said that the reason why Yamaguchi Momoe came to the United States was because of his invitation.

After Yamaguchi Momoe came to the United States, Lin Baicheng spent time with Yamaguchi Momoe and specially took time to take her to the Sunshine Farm in Fresno.

Horse riding, shearing sheep, milking cows, hunting and more.

Yamaguchi Momoe came to the United States two days before her birthday, so she simply spent her birthday at the Sunshine Farm. Yamaguchi Momoe had no objection to this. After all, she cared about who she celebrated her birthday with, and Not where to celebrate your birthday.

Although it was at the Sunshine Farm, Lin Baicheng still made careful preparations. He only needed to make some requests, and the people below would be responsible for the specific work.

Therefore, this birthday party was carefully prepared. The only drawback was that there were not many people attending.

After her birthday, Yamaguchi Momoe stayed in the United States for another day and returned to Japan on the 19th. After that day, Lin Baicheng had no time to spend with her, and there was no need for her to stay in the United States any longer.

Lin Baicheng flew to Washington on the 19th and came here a day early.

Tomorrow is the time for the president to be sworn in. Reagan and the top leaders of the Elephant Party came to Washington early to prepare to move into the White House.

Although Reagan has now been elected president, and former President Carter's family has also moved out of the White House, the Reagan family has not yet moved into the White House. They will only move into the White House after Reagan is officially sworn in.

Currently, the Reagan family is temporarily accommodated in a designated hotel.

After Lin Baicheng came to Washington, he contacted Reagan and went to meet with him.

Although Reagan was very busy after he was elected as president. He had to meet many important people from all walks of life, and all of them were big figures from all walks of life. He could not neglect Lin Baicheng, who was a major financial sponsor of Reagan's victory. Reagan certainly could not neglect Lin Baicheng, a big figure in the election. Investor.

More importantly, although the general election has just ended, Reagan still wants to be re-elected in four years, so he still needs the support of Lin Baicheng, a big financier. Therefore, even for his own benefit, he cannot compete with Lin Baicheng, a big financier. The Lord fell out.

Also, don’t think that you can do whatever you want after becoming president. There are many people watching the president, and sometimes the president does something wrong. When this happens, donors often need to help solve it.

Therefore, even during his term of office, the president still needs the support of donors.

"President Reagan!" "First Lady Nancy!"

Both Reagan and his wife were there. When they met again, Lin Baicheng found that Reagan was okay, but his wife Nancy Reagan was different from before. She seemed to be a little aloof and reserved when facing him, unlike before, when she was treated as an equal, she was even so kind. A little bit of flattery.

Nancy's attitude made Lin Baicheng a little unhappy, but he quickly regained his composure. If possible, he didn't want to have a quarrel with the Reagans, as that would not be good for him.

It's normal to think about it. Reagan was just a congressman running for president before, and the possibility of winning was unlikely. And if he loses the election, his political career will end without any accident. Facing Lin Baicheng, a big donor, Nancy definitely has nothing to be proud of. , and even to please Lin Baicheng, a big benefactor, for the sake of the future.

But things are different now. Reagan has become the president, and Nancy is the first lady. They are the most noble people in the United States. They no longer need to please anyone. On the contrary, many people will please them.

As a veteran in politics, Reagan would not change his mentality because of this, at least he would not show it.

Nancy was different. She used to be an entertainer and a housewife. With her sudden change of status, it was normal for her to feel a little overwhelmed when faced with so many flatteries and flattery.

Not everyone can treat the adulation from around them with a normal heart.

"Alan, and Ms. Kent, please come this way."

Reagan greeted Lin Baicheng and Isabella.

That's right, when he came to Washington this time, Lin Baicheng brought Isabella with him.

Lin Baicheng, who was invited to attend the presidential swearing-in ceremony and the White House dinner, had the quota to bring a female companion, so he brought Isabella over. It happened that Isabella would need to take the lead in maintaining the interpersonal relationships in the United States in the future.

Lin Baicheng and Isabella didn't stay too long. After chatting for a while, they left. The main reason is that Reagan is very busy. He will be sworn in tomorrow. There will be many visitors coming to see him tonight, and Lin Baicheng and the others are just one of them.

It was a great honor for Reagan to be able to spare some time to meet and chat with the two of them.

In Washington, Lin Baicheng also had a place to stay. Before Lin Baicheng came to Washington, the Secretariat had specially arranged for people to do sanitation work, and had arranged for chefs and bodyguards to come over first.

After Lin Baicheng and Isabella come over, they can move in directly.

Return to your residence.

Isabella said to Lin Baicheng: "Alan, have you noticed some changes in Mrs. Nancy's attitude?"

"It seems you discovered it too."

Lin Baicheng nodded slightly: "She is now the First Lady of the United States, and is no longer the congressman's wife before. It is normal for her attitude towards us to change, as long as she is not hostile to us."

"Looking at her current attitude change, I'm afraid it's hard to get along with her. In terms of personal relations, we may not be able to maintain a good relationship with her," Isabella said.

"Just try your best."

Lin Baicheng said: "Nancy's influence on Reagan is quite big. It's better for us not to offend Nancy. However, just as we need Reagan, Reagan also needs us. As long as the conflict between us and his wife Nancy is not too big, I guess there shouldn’t be any problem.”

"I will try my best to have a good relationship with Mrs. Nancy."

Isabella said immediately that of course she knew that having a good relationship with Nancy Reagan was the best choice.

At present, they have a very close relationship with Reagan, and since Reagan has become president, the relationship between the two parties must continue to be maintained, rather than causing a rift in the relationship.

"I'll leave this to you Bella."

Lin Baicheng nodded, taking care of me is the best choice.

Time comes the next day.

On January 20, Lin Baicheng took Isabella to attend Reagan's swearing-in ceremony.

Lin Baicheng and the others were just one of the spectators, but at the scene, he saw many "acquaintances", all big figures from all walks of life in the United States, many of whom he knew through the news media and had never met before.

During the lunch break, Lin Baicheng met a lot of people and they all looked familiar to each other.

However, Lin Baicheng was somewhat surprised when one of the people took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Allen, I am Ned Johnson. I heard from my daughter that she met a young talent from Oriental Xiangjiang who is a genius in finance. I have long wanted to meet him and get to know him."

The person who came to greet Lin Baicheng was Abigail Johnson's father, Ned Johnson, the CEO of Fidelity Investments, a legendary figure on Wall Street, who can be said to have all the power and influence on Wall Street.

"Hello, Mr. Johnson, I'm Lin Baicheng. Just call me Allen."

Lin Baicheng looked at the energetic little old man in front of him. He was nearly sixty years old, but he didn't look old at all, which showed that he was well-maintained.

"Abigail praised me too much. I am not a genius. I am just a young man with some luck. I can't compare with a legend like you, Mr. Johnson."

"Alan, you are so humble."

Ned Johnson smiled, glanced at Isabella, and said, "This is not the place for chatting. Let's talk in detail when we find time to discuss investment experiences and make progress together."

"Okay, let's talk next time."

Lin Baicheng smiled and nodded. For now, there is no harm in deepening ties with the Johnson family.

Ned Johnson said nothing else, said hello, and left.

After Ned Johnson left, Isabella spoke up: "Mr. Johnson is a legend on Wall Street and one of Vivien's idols. In less than ten years since he took over Fidelity Investments, he has already made Fidelity Investments’ asset management scale has increased from less than US$4 billion to more than US$20 billion now, more than five times.”

"Mr. Johnson is a legend on Wall Street, and he is great in his own right."

Lin Baicheng thought of more. Ned Johnson suddenly took the initiative to say hello to him and asked him to chat again when he had time. This showed that he had really caught Ned Johnson's eyes and was qualified to deal with Ned Johnson on an equal footing. He was no longer a subordinate. Treated as an outsider without any foundation.

Such changes are, of course, attributable to Lin Baicheng's successful sponsorship of Reagan's election and his becoming a major financial backer of the president. In the future, with the support of Reagan and the Elephant Party, the United States will no longer be without a foothold and be manipulated by others.

The time comes at night.

Lin Baicheng and Isabella dressed up and went to the White House together to attend the presidential dinner held at the White House tonight.

Here, Lin Baicheng is not qualified to be the finale, so although he is not the earliest, he is not late either. It can be regarded as the middle time.

At the dinner party, Lin Baicheng saw many Hollywood superstars. The reason why these Hollywood superstars are here is because they are also supporters of Reagan. They publicly supported Reagan during the campaign, and now being invited to the dinner is naturally the reward they deserve.

In addition to these Hollywood superstars, of course there are also executives of Hollywood giants.

Hollywood supports Reagan, and the biggest supporters are naturally the Hollywood giants, not the few superstars.

Hollywood giants did not support Reagan much in terms of financial resources, but in terms of media resources, they supported Reagan very strongly. Therefore, they were also one of Reagan's most important supporters, definitely no worse than Lin Baicheng.

"Alan, Ms. Kent, you are here."

Not long after Lin Baicheng and the others arrived, someone came to say hello.

"Mr. Bush, no, I should call you President Bush."

Lin Baicheng followed the sound and saw that it was Bush Sr. He was an old acquaintance.

"Vice, it's the Vice President, Allen."

Bush Sr.'s face was full of smiles and he was laughing, which showed how happy he was.

Not to mention what will happen in the future, even if Bush Sr. cannot make progress in the future, he has served as vice president. During his time as vice president, he was able to accumulate many connections for the Bush family, which will benefit him a lot after he leaves office.

Being successfully elected as the vice president this time has brought many benefits to Bush Sr., which can't be described in a few words.

"I believe that the word 'vice' will definitely be removed in the future, don't you think so, Mr. Bush?"

Lin Baicheng smiled and meant something.

"Then I need more support from you, Allen."

Bush immediately agreed, making no secret of his ambition to 'progress'.

When facing Reagan, Bush Sr. had to hide his ambitions, but facing a big benefactor like Lin Baicheng, Bush Sr. couldn't hide it because he wanted big benefactors like Lin Baicheng to support him. If he himself had not 'progressed' With such ambition, it is impossible for others to choose to support him.

"We help each other and support each other."

Lin Baicheng and Bush Sr. reached a tacit consensus that Lin Baicheng would support Bush Sr. when he ran for president in the future.

As for the intensity of support, there is of course no need to talk about it now. When Bush Sr. decides to actually participate in the presidential campaign one day, it will not be too late to talk about the details of support.

After chatting with Lin Baicheng and Isabella for a while, Bush excused himself and left, but went to greet others.

Lin Baicheng and Isabella were walking around at the dinner party. They said hello when they met acquaintances. If they were on good terms with each other, they solemnly introduced Isabella, implying that Isabella would take the lead in maintaining the relationship between the two parties in the future. .

As for important people who have never met before, when they meet for the first time, they should say hello and get to know each other, and see if there is any possibility of getting acquainted with them in the future.

Among them, members of the Reagan campaign team are the key contacts, and these people, like Bush Sr., will receive rewards.

Like George H.W. Bush, Reagan became the vice president after being elected; Jean Carter, a lawyer, will undoubtedly serve as a middle-level and high-level person in the court system.

Others will naturally receive corresponding rewards and work in departments related to their careers, and will undoubtedly take up important positions.

Each of these people will rise to high positions during the Reagan administration and become leaders of relevant departments. Lin Baicheng will naturally have to maintain the relationship with these people, and he may be able to use them one day.

After the dinner, Lin Baicheng and Isabella went back to their residence.

"Bella, after today, I should go back to Xiangjiang in a few days. From now on, the relationship with the United States, especially with Reagan and others, will depend on you to lead the Secretariat to maintain it."

"I will maintain my relationship with them."

Isabella nodded, and then said: "Are you going back so soon? It's still about half a month before the New Year, can't you stay a few more days?" The New Year in her mouth is, of course, the Chinese Spring Festival, the lunar calendar New Year's Eve.

"I've been in the United States for a while now, and I didn't even stay for a few days when I went back. I've been here long enough, and I can't go back soon."

Lin Baicheng patted Isabella's hand.

"All right."

Isabella had no choice but to stop persuading and just said that she would go to Xiangjiang to find Lin Baicheng when she had time, and Lin Baicheng would naturally not object to her going to Xiangjiang.
