Chapter 1308 – I am not doing this business
Li Na had successfully given birth to a pair of healthy twins, and when Feng Yu was accompanying her at home, he received a call from Ralph telling him a VIP wants to meet him.
This person might not have a high net worth, but his family is powerful and influential in the US. Although they are not as powerful as the Bush family, they control a few States in the US.
Do not think that the US election system is more advanced. If you look carefully at the nominated candidates, they are all supported by their families. Two members of the Bush family had become the President, and there might be a third one in the future.
Many other families are like the Bush Family. Their family members will become the State Governors, Congressmen, etc. Every few terms and the US electoral system represent the interests of the rich.
The US citizens might have voted in the elections, but as long as the candidates can offer some benefits to the poor, they can win their votes. The campaign fund is not much different from buying votes.
No matter which candidate the poor chooses, it will still represent the rich, and the poor only have limited benefits.
The US boasts of having an adequate healthcare system, but why is their healthcare system so expensive? Their health insurance doesn’t cover all many medical conditions, and their private hospital charges are much higher than in China. They also claim that anyone can hire lawyers to fight for their rights, but the lawyer fees are astronomically high. Legal aid and Community legal clinics? Forget about it. They can only help in minor cases and will lose in bigger cases.
Look at the rich. Even if they had committed crimes, they could hire a legal team to drag it out and remain out of bail.
The person who wanted to meet Feng Yu is a member of such families and represents his generation. He is also a senator.
Feng Yu asked Ralph what does this Senator wants, and Ralph stuttered and could not answer him. He just said it’s inconvenient to say it over the phone and hope Feng Yu can come to the US. After all, it is inconvenient for the Senator to appear in China.
…….
“Ralph, how did you know Senator Sanders?”
Ralph quickly explained. “Boss, I had only met him twice before. He had come to me to raise funds for his campaign, but I did not agree, as you mentioned, that we will not get involved in politics. He doesn’t even want to meet Chairman Kameda and specifically ask to see you for business.
This guy doesn’t even want to meet Kameda Masao?
Feng Yu frowned. This seems to be an issue as Feng Yu had gave Kameda Masao high authority, and he can make most of the decisions in Wind and Rain Holdings.
Kameda Masao is the CEO and Chairman of Wind and Rain Holdings, and this Senator doesn’t even want to speak to him?! Could it be he wants to invest in Wind and Rain Holdings?
If he wants to invest, then Kameda Masao is not the right person to speak to. Why can’t he discuss this business over the phone?
“What business is it? Have you informed Kameda Masao?” Feng Yu is unhappy.
Feng Yu had appointed Kameda Masao to be the Wind and Rain Holdings’ Chairman and CEO. Although Ralph had worked for Feng Yu for some time, he is still not as capable as Kameda.
Is Ralph thinking of replacing Kameda Masao?
“Boss, I had reported to Chairman Kameda, and he also cannot decide. Amazon is going to be listed, and he is very busy now.” Ralph doesn’t want to lose Feng Yu’s trust.
Those that Feng Yu trusted are doing well with high salaries and authority. Ralph might not be fired if he loses Feng Yu’s trust, but his dream of taking over Kameda Masao will be over.
“Even Kameda cannot decide? Is he thinking of investing into the Wind and Rain Holdings?”
“Boss, how did you come to this conclusion? Every businessman knows our company does not allow anyone to invest because we have unlimited potential. Once Amazon is listed, our company’s value will increase by billions, and not many can afford this price. We still have not included other subsidiaries with high potential.” Ralph replied.
Although Ralph is exaggerating, most of it is true. Feng Yu will surely not sell Wind and Rain Holdings’ shares if the other party uses cash. But he might consider if someone is using JPMorgan Chase’s shares to swap.
“Boss, the other party wants to buy equipment. Military equipment from China!”
Huh?!
Does someone want to buy firearms from me?! No wonder this is not suitable to be discussed over the phone.
Feng Yu is stunned. Why do these people think he has access to these things? He has never gotten involved in such business. Does Senator Sanders think that he has a relationship with the Chinese military because he is China’s richest man?
China has been selling some firearms, but those are small firearms. The ones with bigger firepower are restricted and cannot be sold.
Feng Yu will not know even if China did sell powerful weapons as this has nothing to do with him. He is not in the firearms trade!
That’s right. Many tycoons in the US are in the arms trade. Still, Feng Yu is not interested despite this business is one of the most lucrative businesses.
This business does not require high capital, and Feng Yu has enough funds for it. He does not even need to spend 100 million to acquire some small factories to produce firearms.
Feng Yu is not someone who claimed he wants peace and not war. He believes that war is still necessary against certain people. For example, those terrorists!
Feng Yu does not want to enter into this business because of the high risks.
Since Feng Yu can make money from other businesses, why should he touch the firearms trade?
“Ralph, I might not have told you about this in the past. But I want you to remember this. Our company will not do weaponry business!” Feng Yu replied sternly.
“Boss, this is a good opportunity to get connected with Senator Sanders and will benefit our business. His family is quite influential in the House.” Ralph explained.
“No need. If we want to look for partners, then we should be speaking to the President directly!”
“I understand. I will reply to Senator Sanders now.”
