Chapter 1425 Arrival in the Lighthouse Country
The scene then shifts to the United States.
Because the highly anticipated seminar was just two days away, many important figures were present at New Kingsoft.
Among them, Kaiser Weir, who is in charge of Kaiser Permanente, also came here.
The Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
As a renowned luxury hotel in New Gold Mountain, it is already full of dignitaries from all over the world because of the upcoming seminar.
Even Caesarwell chose this place as his temporary lodging.
Although he owns his own estate in New Gold Mountain, he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to meet these important figures.
"Robert, what do you think of this so-called seminar?"
Inside the luxurious presidential suite, Will, dressed in silk pajamas, focused his gaze on his trusted confidant.
If Lu Feng were here, he would recognize at a glance that the Robert Will mentioned was none other than the vice president who had come to China to discuss cooperation with him before.
However, Robert is now the president of Kaiser Permanente, all thanks to the collaboration with Huayu Group.
Although the cooperation between the two parties started with Huayu gaining all the benefits, the remaining profits still made the Caesar Group very wealthy.
Of course, reputation is the most important thing.
For the Caesar family, with its deep-rooted heritage, profit is not the primary concern; prestige is.
As the only medical group in the United States that can sell anti-cancer drugs, nerve repair drugs, and male enhancement capsules, Kaiser Permanente has brought a lot of prestige to the Kaiser family recently.
As the person who facilitated all of this, Robert was promoted and officially became the CEO of the Kaiser Permanente.
“Mr. Will, based on the current situation, this so-called seminar is a conspiracy against Tenglong Group.”
"I just don't know what tricks Qualcomm will pull."
Robert bent down slightly and shared his opinion.
"So, do you think Lu Feng will come this time?"
Will picked up the glass of red wine in front of him, took a sip, and asked with interest.
Upon hearing this, Robert fell into a brief moment of contemplation.
Scenes of his past interactions with Lu Feng flashed through his mind.
Under normal circumstances, other people might not have come, but recalling the invincible demeanor Lu Feng had displayed in front of him before, Robert was a little unsure.
“Mr. Will, please forgive me for not being able to give you a definite answer, because I cannot see through Lu Feng. He is too mysterious. Until the very last moment, no one can guess what he is thinking.”
After thinking for a while, Robert finally shook his head.
"Oh? Is he really that kind of person? Interesting."
Will gently swirled the red wine in his hand, gave a soft hum, and then said:
"Let me ask you again, if Lu Feng really comes to the United States and is targeted by Qualcomm, and eventually asks us for help, do you think we should choose to help or not?"
"this........"
Robert hesitated for a moment, but considering the benefits that Huayu Group would bring to Caesar Group, he quickly became determined:
“I think we should help. Currently, Kaiser Permanente and Huayu Group are partners. If we stand by and do nothing, we may lose the opportunity to cooperate with Huayu.”
“At that time, we will suffer heavy losses, but that’s not the worst part. The worst part is that if we refuse Lu Feng’s request for help, he may seek help from other forces.”
"With Huayu's exclusive business, I believe many powerful forces will be willing to lend a hand. If that happens, we will not only offend Lu Feng, but also lose the opportunity to cooperate with Huayu."
His analysis was very logical, and Will nodded frequently, but still did not make a decision.
As chairman and a member of the Kaiser family, he needs to consider not only the interests of Kaiser Permanente, but also the interests of his family.
Although Qualcomm orchestrated this trap targeting Lu Feng, the US government must have been behind it.
In this situation, if the Caesar Group chooses to help Lu Feng, it is very likely to provoke dissatisfaction from the United States.
Although the Caesar family holds a high position in the United States and has good relations with many government officials, offending those above them can still have serious consequences.
"Alright, let's talk about this after Lu Feng arrives in the United States. You can go and rest now. Tomorrow, you'll accompany me to meet some guests."
After thinking for a long time, Will, still unable to make up his mind, gave the latter the order to leave, and the latter wisely withdrew.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Inside the Shanghai airport, after bidding farewell to Shen Suyuan, Lu Feng boarded a plane bound for the United States.
After a brief acceleration run, the plane slowly took off and soared into the sky.
Meanwhile, Lu Feng, lying in his private space, was contemplating what conspiracies Qualcomm might pull after entering the United States.
Just in case, he made thorough preparations this time.
Not only was the entire bodyguard team present, but all of Shadow's men were also arranged to go to the United States. As for the Twelve Zodiacs, they had already entered the United States and gone into hiding long ago.
The plane continued its journey for five or six hours before finally arriving in the United States.
At the new Jinshan International Airport, Lu Feng and Wen Jingchuan walked out of the cabin side by side.
Once on the ground, Lu Feng took a deep breath under Wen Jingchuan's astonished gaze:
"The air in this beacon country isn't as sweet as they say, so why does it attract so many people?"
He looked around, but the scene he had seen online before flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shake his head.
Hearing this, Wen Jingchuan chuckled twice and then said:
"Chairman Lu, the reason why so many people from our country, and other countries, want to come to the United States is actually because of the welfare benefits here."
"Although I hate to admit it, the United States has indeed done a very good job in this regard."
"However, we have been working hard over the years, and I believe that it won't be long before we catch up."
Lu Feng nodded. He actually knew about this, after all, he studied economics in college.
But it is precisely because he understands that he knows how difficult it is for China to match the welfare benefits of the United States.
The economy is one issue, but the population is even more important.
China currently has a total population of around 14 billion, while the United States has only a little over 3 million.
The vast population disparity means that the United States can improve the welfare of its citizens with very little expenditure, while China would have to spend four times as much as the United States.
For example, if the United States were to distribute a bag of rice to every citizen, it would only need to prepare 300 million bags.
But when the same thing happened to China, the country needed to prepare 1.4 billion bags of rice.
This represents a difference of four times.
To surpass it, you must put in many times more effort.
