Chapter 1448: CCA's Ambitions
After being rejected by Leilani Taylor again, Tom Bailey is in a hurry!
As the shareholder and chairman of CCA Group, the largest private prison in the United States and the world, a new market has opened the door to the private prison industry, but CCA has been turned away and has no chance to take a share of this market...... For CCA Group, which is already making a lot of money in the private prison market, and Tom Bailey, how can he be willing to stay outside the doors of Michigan?
But he knew better that all these legal provisions for private prisons in Michigan were simply tailor-made for Fernandez Chen, that is, Michigan became Fernandez Chen's personal reserve.
But just give up, that's not Tom Bailey's style, that's what the American character is: although you don't look like a good bully, who knows if your appearance is bluffing, if I don't bully and try, how can Lao Tzu be willing?
The same is true of Tom Bailey, seeing that CCA can't get a piece of the pie in Michigan, Ya simply gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, and directly found George Zolley, the founder, shareholder and chairman of GEO Group, to discuss what to do about this matter, and the most critical ...... How can you get into Michigan and get a piece of the pie?
Although the two companies are considered competitors, in this matter, CCA and GEO are allies, Tom Bailey bluntly said to George Zolly: "George, you also went to Michigan to ask, what are you GEO going to do now? Do you give up the Michigan market or are you ready to fight for our interests?"
Tom Bailey did not doubt that George Zoley had already known the news that Michigan was preparing to open up the operation of private prisons, nor did he have the slightest doubt that George Zoley was ready to make a big show in Michigan after learning the news, but was slapped back by Chen Geng.
George Zorley's face was not very good-looking. But he was not stupid either, and instead of answering Tom Bailey's question, he asked Tom Bailey rhetorically: "Tom, I know you very well, so you don't have to go around in circles here, and tell ......me, what are your plans?" You should understand that Fernandez Chen is not a guy to mess with. ”
"Of course, of course, no one wants to mess with Fernandez Chen," Tom Bailey smiled: "Nobody wants to mess with Fernandez Chen, we are businessmen, and what we want is actually very simple, that is, to do business honestly, and at the same time help the government reduce the burden and deal with the 'garbage' that the government does not handle well, that's all, right?"
This joke was a little funny, but George Zolley didn't mean to laugh at all, he looked up at Tom Bailey, and said lightly: "Tom, it's just the two of us now, you don't need to say such things at all, we do prison business just to make money, but at the same time, we don't want to set up a strong opponent for ourselves."
So, I know your purpose, you are not willing to give up, to tell you the truth, GEO is not reconciled either, but we dare not offend Fernandez Chen, so you can say it bluntly, how are you going to get qualified to run a prison in Michigan without offending Fernandez Chen? If your solution works, of course we can cooperate, and if your solution is stupid, well, my coffee here is not bad......"
George Zolley knew that Tom Bailey had bad intentions, so he simply went straight to the showdown: Say, what are you going to do? If you have a good way, it doesn't hurt for everyone to cooperate, but if you plan to cheat me, then there's nothing to say, hurry up and get out of the way!
George Zolley's attitude was not very good, and Tom Bailey didn't care, nodded and said, "Okay, then let's all be frank...... George, I don't think we would be able to get any formal approval from the state government even if we built a prison in Michigan with more than 20,000 beds, do you agree?"
"That's right. George Zolley nodded and agreed with Tom Bailey's words.
Neither George Zolly nor Tom Bailey thought that building a prison that could accommodate 20,000 inmates would pass the approval of the Michigan state government, for the simple reason that the Michigan state government's document allowing private prisons to operate within the state was very clear: private prison operators must first build prisons and pass a joint review by the state government and the state prison administration before they are allowed to operate.
In other words, even if you build the prison yourself, as long as the state government and the state prison administration review the prison and give a random reason to say that there are problems here and here, the prison will not be able to operate.
Both of them know this.
