After getting Zhou Ming's plan to deploy the global food industry through the future way to promote biofuels under high oil prices, Wood and Langke happily left Pittsburgh.

It was from this point that Zhou Ming officially helped the Great Lakes establish a high-tech transformation with Pittsburgh in the east as the core and a grain futures financial layout with Chicago as the core.

Although this was only what Zhou Ming thought of by himself, he was very confident that he could succeed, because it was almost exactly the same as the impressions of Pittsburgh and Chicago in later generations, which was enough to prove that at least he had gone the right path.

After completing the design, the next step is to implement it bit by bit.

Chicago needs to communicate with the three major grain merchants. That is the matter of the wealthy Chicago families like Wood and Lang Ke, which involves various exchanges of interests. Zhou Ming also suspects that the three major grain merchants may have made secret arrangements behind their backs. Now the Chicago consortium is going to intervene, which is definitely not that easy.

Although the Chicago consortium ranks one of the top ten chaebols in the United States, the three major grain traders control more than half of the world's grain trade and are not ordinary people.

The Kurt Group, which released the bold statement that "the White House has only one place worth spending money to buy" can only rank second, and is the Kaki Group, the leader of the three major grain merchants.

Compared with listed companies with public financial reports, such private companies are the most troublesome, because you can't figure out how much money they have.

It is precisely for this reason that when the Cotter family "borrowed" the New York futures market to harvest a wave of wealth, wealthy families like Morgan and Rockefeller could only sit back and watch in order not to break up. Now they have to put their hands into the jobs of the three major grain merchants to seize food. The difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, Zhou Ming is not anxious about the matter in Chicago. Anyway, the legendary food war has been going on for several years, so Zhou Ming stayed in Pittsburgh, taking care of the transformation and factory relocation here, so that Chicago can communicate slowly on its own.

Anyway, Chicago's largest bulk product futures market is here, and the three major grain merchants cannot get around if they want to harvest the market. Zhou Ming is not worried about failure at all, it is mainly a result of high profits and low profits.

After having the example of the three major financial giants of Morgan Rockefeller and Citi, others who also have shares in the Great Lakes Factory, whether individuals or institutions like banks and investment banks, have rushed to Pittsburgh. For them, this is a good opportunity to get rid of their burdens. If they miss this opportunity, God knows whether those shares will be ruined.

The enthusiasm of these Americans is also a good thing for Zhou Ming, at least he can get the most equity in the factory in the shortest time.

Liang Tian and others have already returned to China, but there are other local enterprises or people from relevant departments coming here in the future, so it can be considered continuous.

However, this has little to do with Zhou Ming, because with his current identity, such general talks do not require Zhou Ming to come forward at all, and Zhou Ming himself was also very happy.

If you have nothing to do, you can go fishing on the Great Lakes, or hunting in the mountains and forests, and even organize an All-Star Melee competition between the Bulls, Pistons and the Cavaliers, which is specially designed for Zhou Ming's exhibition match, which allows Zhou Ming to experience a truly "boring" life as a wealthy family.

However, Zhou Ming's relaxed and comfortable life did not last long. Soon an old friend arrived and started a new mission for Zhou Ming.

Line of business.

That morning, after Zhou Ming had just eaten a bowl of beef noodles with a rich taste in his hometown, he suddenly received a call from Omar, saying that he was at the airport and was preparing to set off for Pittsburgh.

Zhou Ming was shocked at the time: "What are you doing in Pittsburgh? Have you confessed to Wood and Lang Ke?"

For this Omar, that is a very important long-term investment target for Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming is very clear that he will enter the White House in the future.

However, in order not to affect Omar's life trajectory, Zhou Ming took the initiative to let him go back to Chicago, transferring his investment into a dark line, and only investing in his campaign through several foundations.

On the surface, Omar is also a political star promoted by the Chicago consortium. He just "catched" to Zhou Ming and has nothing particularly to do with him.

This has always been the case, and there is even very little contact on the initiative, but now Omar wants to fly to Pittsburgh directly. Zhou Ming cannot help but wonder if he has exposed anything.

Omar said that he didn't know about this, but he felt that it shouldn't be the case. It's just that the situation is different now. Let's talk about the specific matters when he arrives in Pittsburgh.

It was not far from Chicago to Pittsburgh. More than two hours later, Zhou Ming picked up Omar at the airport.

Omar is not the university teacher when Zhou Ming first met. Now he has been re-elected as a senator in Erie, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Chicago consortium will push him to the White House in the future.

Therefore, it is not just Omar who came, but also his two assistants. According to him, he originally wanted to send a team of people to accompany him, but he refused harshly.

"After all, that's too troublesome. I don't want to be an animal that's being watched," Omar said.

"What should you do with an assistant on the left and a team on the right? Are you going to run for president?" Zhou Ming quipped.

Originally, Zhou Ming deliberately joked, but he didn't expect Omar to answer: "It's indeed for the election...at least for preparation!"

Omar told Zhou Ming that his purpose of coming out this time was to attend a sea and lake party, and that this party was very important for him to run for president one day in the future. Even his visit to Pittsburgh was also requested by Chicago.

"Haihu party? What kind of sea and lake party?" Zhou Ming asked with a frown.

Omar was quite surprised: "Of course it was a discussion meeting about the Irank War. Top politicians in the United States and those who invested in the war were invited to participate. Mr. Zhou Ming, have you also invested?"

So that's it, Zhou Ming was not surprised at all: "It seems that the news has not reached me yet."

The only certificate of Zhou Ming invested in the war was his investment in Volker and Carden, which was done by the Texas Consortium and coaxed him. Now they have opinions about themselves, so it is normal for them to deliberately make some small moves.

On the contrary, Chicago is also the top consortium in the United States and must have their own news channels, which is normal.

Seeing Omar's shocked expression, Zhou Ming waved his hand and told him that there was no need to worry, and that he would talk about his purpose first.

Omar nodded and said, "Wood and Mr. Lang Ke sent me here because I hope Mr. Zhou Ming, you can help me get to know more people at this party..."

Omar couldn't continue to say this, and the two of them stared at each other with strange expressions.

However, the two assistants next to him kept persuading Zhou Ming to help him.

They emphasized that when Omar enters the White House in the future, he will bring the greatest reward to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming and Omar felt helpless when they said this, because even if they didn't say it, they had to do it.

But now that Chicago has taken the initiative to propose it, if I don’t get some wool, I will look down on others.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ming asked: "Mr. Omar, although we have known each other for a long time, now you want me to help me with such an important thing, don't you think you should pay a little price?"

Omar understood at the time, so he hurriedly brought up some Chicago friendship, or his future benefits of becoming the president, but Zhou Ming needed something to realize immediately, rather than a pie that deceived children.

After a "fever" negotiation, Omar was defeated and "helplessly" showed the sincerity prepared by the Chicago consortium: "Mr. Wood and Mr. Lang Ke told me that if you agree, they are willing to bear part of the repurchase fee for the Great Lakes factory shares."

This sincerity made Zhou Ming very happy. After all, even if only the parts of the factory shares of the entire Great Lakes are controlled by Morgan Rockefeller and other eastern consortiums, even if the Great Lakes have become ruined, it is still a considerable expense, which is far from affordable to China today.

Zhou Ming finally finalized the plan to pay in installments first, then borrow part of it through Internet funds and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and finally borrow part of it from Citigroup and Motong Manhattan Bank, before finally filling the hole.

The annual interest rate is sky-high, so if Chicago is willing to bear part of it, even if it is only 1%, it will be a huge help.

Seeing that Zhou Ming's eyes were lit, Omar hurriedly explained that the specific amount he could not make up for. Zhou Ming must communicate with Chicago.

This was also what Zhou Ming expected. After all, Wood and Lang Ke were also worried that Omar would agree to any high conditions that they could not afford for their own future.

"Since that's the case, I'll accompany you this time." Zhou Ming said.

When the two assistants clapped happily when they heard Zhou Ming finally let go, Omar seemed puzzled in comparison. He didn't expect that Zhou Ming was so happy, so he was not worried about Chicago breaking the contract later?

Zhou Ming did not answer, but he was really not worried. After all, Zhou Ming and Chicago will still cooperate in the food war in the future. If Wood and Lang Ke have a long-term vision, they will not cause trouble here.

Soon after returning to Onag Manor, Hunter and Westin helped Zhou Ming hold a welcoming banquet for Omar.

At the banquet, Omar found an opportunity to talk to Zhou Ming alone. He told Zhou Ming that he agreed was too refreshing and that this Mar-Lago Manor gathering was not that simple.

"As far as I know, this party is a discussion of some related matters of the Irank War, the most important thing is to raise funds for the war. Anyone who goes there must pay money, so the guests invited this time also include important figures from Great Britain and other European countries."

Omar also said: "Although Wood and Langke promised to bear a considerable amount of money, based on my understanding of them, they will definitely not suffer any losses."

That's right, capitalists will not suffer any losses in money.
