Chapter 0344 Holding United Airlines
"Honey, are you okay?" asked Adelaide as she pressed her hand to his chest as she sat in the car on her way to the hotel.
"Just thinking about something, it's okay. Li Zitao smiled and pressed his worries to the bottom of his heart.
What happened in China during this time made his mood depressed.
Li Zitao didn't want to affect everyone's mood because of this, and Hualian was also actively responding.
The Manchurian Incident still happened as scheduled.
Hualian's investment in the three eastern provinces has gradually accelerated, and it has hired Chinese workers on a large scale to provide them with a relatively safe environment.
As for how much he can help, Li Zitao has no bottom in his heart.
The poor in America have all kinds of charitable organizations, humanitarian organizations to help, and 40,000 compatriots who should they count on.
It is believed that it will not be long before the changes in the Far East will attract international attention.
I don't know how many people will choose to go back to serve the country across the ocean, "Let's help them then!"
The guests were transferred to the hotel, and in the lively dance party, Jonathan took his new wife and kept wandering in small circles.
When Lawrence unveiled the statue of the two in white chocolate, the atmosphere at its peak was completely detonated.
At the reception, Li Zitao met many people, and also met the former president of United Airlines, Robert F Liu, who 'resigned from the table' not long ago.
"Robert, I heard that something unpleasant happened between you and Rush?" Li Zitao stepped forward with his fiancΓ©e.
"Charlie, you should think more about the reaction of the market, people are tired of war, especially the people of America. Robert said with a dark face.
Li Zitao certainly understands this, and before World War II, Congress and Washington did not know how many times Congress and Washington debated whether the United States would enter the war.
The anti-war sentiment among the people was as high as a terrifying wave, and Roosevelt, who was regarded as the 'savior' of the American people, had to succumb to this pressure.
"Robert, do you have a gun at home?" Li Zitao asked rhetorically.
"Of course. Robert nodded rightly.
In the Second Amendment, no one can take away the freedom of people to bear arms.
This is a law that every American knows and a freedom granted to them by the Constitution.
"Have you used them? I mean except hunting. Li Zitao asked again.
"No, although I have a lot of weapons, I hope I never need them. "That's what most of the American people think.
Hearing his affirmative answer, Li Zitao smiled and raised his glass to sign, "Me too." β
Robert understood what he meant, that weapons were a guarantee of 'safety and freedom', but that didn't mean they should be used.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten, can you understand the meaning of it?" Looking at Li Zitao's departing back, Robert's face changed, and he didn't know whether to believe what he said.
......
......
Soon, the acquisition of United Airlines was officially launched.
Rush persuaded the other employee equity representatives to approach Robert with the agreement they had signed.
The American people are particularly insecure, and they have to defend their freedom while paying a high price for it.
More than half of the families who die each year as a result of the abuse of this 'freedom' experience or have seen it with their own eyes.
People are also constantly reflecting on whether the price they pay for this freedom is worth it.
But in the end, they chose to be 'free,' especially when they saw terrible things happening in certain dictatorships.
And what the colonists of country Y did to them in the short history of the United States.
"Once the monster of government created by humans gets out of control and allows it to develop unchecked, the damage caused is fundamental. That's what the Americans insisted on.
They are always on guard that the 'monster' of the federal government will get out of surveillance, and the terrible history will play out again.
It is precisely because of this that there has never been a blatant colonization in the history of the United States.
Washington always has to meddle in the politics of other countries and enhance its own influence under the name of 'military aid, humanitarian aid' and so on.
Because everyone knows very well that once they implement a colonial policy, it will not be the colonized countries that will be the first to rebel, but the native citizens of North America.
"Mr. Robert, you can do something more meaningful with the money, and I think it's time for you to enjoy life. β
Rush pushed the agreement in front of him, and said with a sincere face.
"Let me retire?" said Robert's smile was a little bitter.
It doesn't seem to make much sense for him to keep these shares now.
With the support of employees, Rush and his team have mastered United Airlines thoroughly.
Selling his shares was the best option for him, otherwise he might not be able to get a penny from them until he died.
"Well, I agree to the acquisition. Picking up the contract, Robert began to read it carefully, and at the same time had his lawyer contacted.
The price per share is $10, with a total value of $600 million, to be paid over five years.
"It's so low, you pay your employees $15. Since he was going to sell, Robert certainly had to fight for the greater good for himself.
"It's different, Mr. Robert, and I think you're well aware. Rush said with a calm expression: "This disaster will last for a long time, and any sensible person can see that the shares in your hands will only get cheaper and cheaper." β
"12 US dollars, that's the price I can accept. Robert put the agreement on the table and said in a persistent tone.
"Maybe you should take a look at this first. Rush pulled out another document.
Wow, wow
Robert's face grew worse and worse as the paper flipped over, and these bastards were blackmailing.
At a price of 20 US dollars per share, it acquired the shares in the hands of other employee representatives, and after reaching a controlling stake, it split United Airlines and accepted the successive acquisitions of Aerospace Airlines.
"Bastard. Slapping the papers on the table, Robert panted and shouted, "You are shameless robbers." β
"It's a good deal, $600 million, which is a lot of money that can't be spent for generations, or you can learn from Mr. Carnegie's approach. β
Set up multiple funds and focus on charity, family members do not directly control wealth, but receive a large amount of expenses every month.
This saved his vast fortune from the dreaded inheritance tax and made the Carnegie family a legend in the United States, gaining a good name while ensuring the family's continuity.
"I'm going to talk to the lawyer alone. "I went to the corner with the lawyer, and the two talked for about 10 minutes, and Robert, who came back, signed his name.
"When will the first funds arrive. Robert leaned back on the couch with relief.
He's been working hard for 40 years, and maybe it's time to think about retirement.
"Within a week. After checking the documents, Rush stood up and stretched out his hand, "Thank you for your cooperation, your contribution to United Airlines will be remembered by everyone at United Airlines." β
Robert shook his head with a wry smile, he has already been forced out, what else to contribute, keep it in mind, to hell!
