1138 Sky-high advertising fees
Even Li Changheng believed that as long as vertical farms successfully produce fruits and vegetables, Francis would likely introduce this technology to South Carolina, which is an agricultural continent.
Once successful, it will be much easier for Francis to be re-elected as a senator in the future.
Besides, the annual salary of more than 100,000 US dollars is also a considerable income for the Francis couple.
Within a few days, Claire came to New York with Francis.
Vertical farms also quickly obtained interest-free loans, tax refunds, and even tax exemption policies of $30 million.
Li Changheng doesn’t care much about interest-free loans, but he still has to apply for it.
There are 30 million US dollars lying in the farm account and I won’t need to invest money on my own for many years in the future.
And the tax exemption policy is amazing.
Ask lawyers and accountants to think of ways, maybe they can use vertical farms every year to exempt tens of millions of dollars in taxes.
-----
Half a month after leaving Claire responsible for the matter on the vertical farm, what surprised and satisfied Li Changheng was that Claire quickly submitted a copy to him.
The plan to take out three million of the 30 million US dollars to buy land and build a greenhouse.
And the place where the land was bought was placed in South Carolina if nothing unexpected happened.
Li Changheng didn't take it seriously, but instead asked Claire to build a greenhouse base in the core area of Francis' votes.
Once successful, help Francis stabilize the votes, and introduce this model to Virginia and New Jersey, and help the members of his side get more votes.
At the same time, this group of profit-making lawmakers will in turn try their best to protect these greenhouse bases.
This is a mutual benefit, and Lee Changheng quickly agreed to Claire's plan.
By the way, Robert Ritchie, the current leader who has always wanted to enter politics and who has always wanted to enter politics by prosecutors.
Together, he became Claire's assistant and legal counsel, paving the way for their future elections.
New agriculture, a job that is extremely easy to attract attention from the public and the media, will make great profits as long as you achieve success, and the Trench and Robert Rich will also become frequent visitors in the newspapers.
Then Stone Banks and Tom Dales, one officially became the head of Dea intelligence and the other became the deputy head of the fast commando.
After the Trench and Robert Ritchie left the Dea, they were able to successfully take over the vacant position.

After getting the matter of vertical farming, Li Changheng quickly focused on hl media.
After more than two months of sorting and adjustment, the media company finally straightened out its internal and external affairs and waited for a period of trial operation to relist.
In mid-August, the headquarters of the US National Radio in New York was holding a special investment conference.
The million winners have been preparing for more than two months, and finally they will be officially recorded.
But before recording, Li Changheng would not forget to recruit advertisers first.
And this time, because there is no need to worry about someone making trouble on the TV station, Li Changheng did not promise that the ratings of the new program would be 8 million, just like before the company merged.
Instead, it is directly said that the goal of the new program is 15 million viewers.
The meeting scene suddenly became chaotic.
Andrei, who is sitting next to Li Changheng, is the head of the Million Winner Program and the executive shareholder of the TV station.
After hearing the target of 20 million, he was happy and frightened, and quickly rolled his eyes secretly.
The word goal is not guarantee, but expectation.
But this kind of unsupported heartbeats made the people in the company present accelerate.
In this era, in addition to football, the ratings of the baseball finals could exceed 20 million.
As for the basketball finals, it would be nice to have 8 million.
Therefore, Li Changheng can only participate in the bidding price after agreeing to a rating of 15 million US dollars.
And the quotation of more than 20 million US dollars per issue suddenly made the companies present feel that the price was not unacceptable.
As for the ratings of more than 30 million, everyone thinks it is impossible for the 6 million US dollars to make it impossible.
But if this rating is really achieved, it will not be much worse than the ratings of the Rugby Finals.
The Rugby Finals only have one game, but the Million Winners will be broadcast every Saturday from September to April of the following eight months.
Although the quotation of 6 million is at least 3 million more than the advertising fee for football, the guests present can settle the accounts themselves.
However, this quote directly excludes more than 90% of the companies.
After all, even if no one bids, they only reached a cooperation with 3 million and 6 million.
The exclusive authorization of $96 million to $192 million per year is really something that ordinary companies can afford.
Even after bidding started, after just a few rounds, the price of the first ladder exceeded US$4 million, the only two companies that were still bidding were Blue Giant and Pan American Airlines.
Without surprise, the Blue Giant finally won the exclusive sponsorship right for a quotation of 4.6 million.
Andre and the TV station were ecstatic, but Li Changheng curled his lips helplessly.
It is certain that the Blue Giant's stock price and sales will definitely rise sharply.
But he couldn't refuse the Blue Giant to participate in the bidding.
I can only curse Pan American in my heart that it deserves it, and the opportunity is right in front of me, but I don’t even know how to cherish it.
As for companies such as Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, Boon, and others, because they were originally shareholders of HL Media, Li Changheng and most shareholders were unwilling to cause trouble when the media group was about to relist, so they directly refused their offer.
What made Li Changheng even more dissatisfied with Pan America was that.
Blue Giant and Pan American Airlines consciously reached a tacit understanding. After the first ladder price exceeded 4.6 million, Pan American did not tangle with Blue Giant at the 6 million US dollar quotation in the second ladder.
After all, no one is stupid. If it were not planned by Li Changheng himself, let alone the bidding for 4.6 million yuan, there would probably be few companies participating in the competition.
And this 4.6 million US dollars also breaks the advertising record of the United States and even the whole world.
Li Changheng was disappointed and soon laughed again.
Anyway, this is only the first season. As long as the results are good enough, the price will definitely rise again next year.
As for the blue giant, the higher the jump, the worse the fall.
Li Changheng didn't believe that the blue giant, whose market value had reached 190 billion, could increase by 50% or twice.
This time, there is no need to wait until tomorrow, and even before the investment promotion conference has ended, some media have already exposed this shocking advertising fee.
The Million Winner Program instantly became a hot topic in the United States. The 10 operators prepared by the TV station were quickly so busy that they didn't even have to eat.
The blue giant followed suit and made a second-largest appearance.
