My absurd experiences in North America over the years

After the black president's state visit to the major Eastern power was officially confirmed, all of Washington's attention turned in that direction.

Discussions about Forrest Capital have temporarily subsided.

The news channel shifted its focus from the domestic economy to foreign policy, and the Capitol Hill schedule was readjusted to make room for this visit.

There is an atmosphere across the United States where national affairs are being recalibrated, and some policies are slowly turning in a new direction that is not yet fully determined, like the hands of a clock.

However, key officials and the White House staff knew that policy had actually shifted.

Li Fu knew that the Black president would still outwardly proclaim in the joint statement his commitment to building a "positive, cooperative, and comprehensive bilateral relationship" and establishing a "partnership to address common challenges."

But in reality, they are simply hoping that major powers will help stabilize the global financial system by purchasing US Treasury bonds, expanding imports, and stimulating domestic demand, thereby helping the United States emerge from the shadow of the economic crisis.

The Black president later admitted that his foreign policy would have changed long ago if America hadn't been in the shadow of the financial crisis.

Facts speak louder than slogans. Even after the White House issued that joint statement, the two sides continued to have friction on many details, appearing to be on the same page but actually at odds. Disagreements on issues such as technology blockade against China and arms sales to a certain island have never disappeared.

The beast will eventually show its fangs.

Knowing all this, Li Fuzheng paid no attention to the state visit and had no interest in it whatsoever. He chose to stay in Nashville and spend some peaceful time there.

When CP left, he was invited to return to New York with him, but he declined, as the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall, even though the mayor of New York City personally assured him that he and any of his business projects in New York would not be affected in any way.

However, he still felt that Nashville was the safest place.

What if those shady characters resort to underhanded methods?

He lived in the little courtyard that Lucy had bought for him. Every morning, he would get up early, drive through a few quiet streets to the Forrest Capital office to handle necessary business, and return to the courtyard in the afternoon, occasionally sitting on the porch and flipping through a few pages of a book.

By early November, Nashville was already deep into autumn.

The temperature in the early morning sometimes drops to near zero, the lawn is covered with a thin layer of white frost, and the air is filled with a clear, almost solidified feeling.

Li Fu suddenly realized that he really liked mornings like this.

Sometimes, the memories of the body's previous owner make him mistakenly believe that it is another life of his. He vividly remembers practicing martial arts with his grandfather on such mornings when he was very young, and the feeling of taking a breath of the cold air.

On the afternoon of November 5th, Thomas suddenly arrived at this small courtyard.

He sat down on a chair on the porch, looking at the withered lawn not far away. "Jon Bopei called me, and we talked for a long time."

"Huang Bopei?" Li Fu was somewhat surprised.

This governor, a true Mormon, is now serving as a diplomatic ambassador thousands of miles away in his hometown.

"Yes, you may not have met him yet. He asked me to tell you that during the state visit and for some time afterward, you'd better not make any public appearances and stay away from any place that might become the center of discussion," Thomas basically relayed his words verbatim.

He knew what that meant.

As the ambassador to the East, Jon Huntsman must have been aware of the shift in the president's cabinet's foreign policy, but he simply couldn't say it outright.

With the policy shift, Li Fu's extensive investments and his majority stake in Forrest Capital (as Jon Huntsman believes) will inevitably make him a target of public criticism.

The Huntsman family has already received the dividends from the joint fund, and this interim dividend exceeded 1.3 million.

This is incredible.

Therefore, he felt he had to subtly warn Li Fu to be careful.

Li Fu sat on a chair on the other side of the porch, not responding immediately. He was more aware of the dangers of this period than anyone else.

However, he did not expect that he had overestimated the humanity of those American politicians and capitalists. At first, he thought that his situation was at most similar to Zhao Changpeng's.

If he mishandles the situation, he could face a lawsuit and have to pay huge bail and fines...

Who knew they actually wanted to take advantage of him?

That's way too harsh.

"He probably doesn't know that we've already completed the shareholding adjustment, but please thank him for reminding me, Uncle," Li Fu noted down the matter; Jon Huntsman really did remind him when he needed something.

"Did you foresee this day coming?" Thomas asked, curious about this.

"Uncle overestimates me," Li Fu shook his head. Of course, he couldn't appear to know everything, because that would frighten others. "I can't deduce everything; I just have a keen sense of danger, which allows me to stay far away."

Since Thomas had already revealed his ability to "predict" the future, he had no choice but to continue pretending.

Thomas nodded. He remembered a saying that Li Fu often mentioned: "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall." The first time he heard this saying was when Li Fu advised him to sell his real estate-related projects as soon as possible to avoid risks.

Eastern culture is so profound!

The enemy is completely unaware that they have quietly completed the shareholding adjustment, and all their entry points are still based on Li Fu holding an absolute majority of shares.

The decision to remain silent and continue to mislead the enemy was also the idea of ​​the young man in front of us.

Thomas felt he needed to study Sun Tzu's Art of War again. He stood up from the porch, patted Li Fu on the shoulder, and said, "This month is crucial. Try to stay in Nashville as much as possible! Let me know in advance if anything happens."

"Okay, thank you for your care, Uncle," Li Fu said, seeing Thomas all the way to the door.

Since he was going to be staying in Nashville for a while, he decided to buy a piece of land in the suburbs.

The land, about twenty acres in size, was located next to a road that was not yet fully developed, surrounded by rolling hills and scattered woods.

Standing at the highest point, he could see the distant pasture fences and the slowly moving livestock, a scene of tranquility and desolation.

He bought this land with the intention of building it into a training ground that can simulate real-world scenarios, including standard shooting ranges and various complex simulated environments.

He needs to bring his physical fitness and military skills to their peak to prevent the enemy from resorting to desperate measures.

For the government, this place had no value for development at all. It didn't spend much money to buy the land, but it spent a lot of money to build the training grounds.

However, there's nothing that can be done about it. Besides the high labor costs, the efficiency of the workers here is nowhere near that of those in China. He can only use high bonuses to boost their motivation.

He offered a bonus of up to $20 to each person if they could complete the task within the deadline.

The saying goes, "Money can make even ghosts push the millstone," meaning that even the most useless Indian can be incredibly efficient when offered a large reward, ultimately exceeding the target in less than half a month.

Li Fu didn't care about the extra money he spent.

He has hundreds of millions of dollars in his account now, enough to spend as much as he wants, he simply can't spend it all.

As he began training on this field, the Black president concluded his state visit to a major Eastern power, and as he had predicted, the joint statement was beautiful, but... an anti-China wave quickly began to brew.

Forrest Capital and his name have once again become a hot topic among some departments and politicians.

Some people couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to take action.
