Link returned to Bakers Avenue from the western restaurant and saw that Douglas's car had been parked outside the courtyard of the villa.

When he got out of the car, Douglas also drove the car in, and the people got out of the car. He said, "Let's go in and talk!"

When he entered, he took off his coat and threw it on the couch. He motioned for Douglas to sit down as well.

At this time, Tiger and the others used a signal detector to probe in the house, and opened and checked all the landline phones, but found no bugging, and then said to Link: "Boss, there is no problem." ”

This room is taken care of by a housekeeping company. Every time Link came over, he had to check if there was a monitor or bug on it before he dared to speak. And Douglas suddenly came to him, there must be something important to discuss, so he waited until he was sure that there was no problem before he spoke: "Tiger, you go out first, I have something to tell Douglas." ”

After Tiger and the others left, Link went to the refrigerator and took out two cans of drinks, gave one can to Douglas, opened one for himself and asked, "You suddenly came to me, what's the hurry?"

"Boss, the two people you shot and killed at Baker Farm are the same two people we brought in to do the work. ”

Link almost didn't squirt out a gulp. He covered his mouth and coughed for a while before he said, "Are you sure?"

"My downline is confirmed. ”

Link coughed and laughed, "Well, I killed someone by accident." ”

He paused and said, "Is there anything wrong with those things?"

"My downline said that they shouldn't have any other accomplices other than the two of them, and that the two don't have any lovers. I don't think their death will put you and your family at risk. ”

The reason why Douglas was asked to investigate the two men was because Link was afraid that the two men had accomplices who would come to him for revenge. Now Douglas says there are no other accomplices, and although he can't be sure, he can also be reassured.

"That's what you're here for?"

"It's not just that. We see that Montado seems to be making a move, but I can't find out if they want to revive or if they want to target Benehans. ”

"Their internal chaos has subsided?"

"Yes, their leadership is back in place. ”

Link thought for a moment and said, "I'll take care of it." He thinks that Meng Sandu's current situation is how to stabilize the stock price. And not to deal with Benehans right away. Now dealing with Benehans is not good for them. Their reputation in the United States could not be worse.

He pondered for a moment and said, "You go to Peru for me and talk to Tiehu." See if he has any interest in becoming an instructor in a unit. ”

"Instructor?"

Link's intention to create a private armed force outside the country, Douglas vaguely guessed. However, he always thought that Link was planning to make Iron Tiger the leader of that force, and he didn't want to just make Iron Tiger an instructor.

Link nodded and said, "Yes, it's the instructor." He paused. "If he's willing, you can go to Texas and talk to Ari when you come back, and ask him to take in some retired soldiers who don't have a place to live. If they are willing to be mercenaries, let them go to Peru for training. ”

"Recruiting only in the United States?"

"Of course, it would be better if you could recruit in other countries. ”

"It should be possible. "In a small country in South Asia, there are many people who live exclusively by being mercenaries for others. "We can recruit through training camps. ”

Link pursed his lips and thought for a moment, and said, "It's okay." "Recruiting people in the name of training camps will not be obvious to him. "You go talk to Iron Tiger as soon as possible. Remember, don't use threats. I need an instructor who really helps me. "The mercenary, of course, is in it for the money, but he doesn't want everyone in his arms to do it just for the money. That team would also rebel against him for money.

"Understood. But boss, I'd suggest you send someone else to set up a training camp with him. ”

Link knew that he was trying to say that Iron Tiger might not be credible. He couldn't fully trust the iron tiger in his heart, nodded and said, "I'll consider your suggestion." ”

"Boss, there's one more thing I think I should tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

"Things don't look good on West Coast Chinese TV. The Li family and the Huang family have different opinions on the operation of the TV station. The Li family insisted that all programs should be Chinese, while the Huang family wanted to change that strategy and make programs more accessible to white people. ”

Link laughed and said, "That's their business." Since the Li family is unwilling to cooperate with him, he is not saying that he can't play without a TV station. Moreover, even if he had to have a television station, he didn't have to have it.

In the United States, as long as you have money, starting a TV is as easy as opening a regular company. He remembers that there was only one restrictive condition: non-U.S. citizens were not allowed to operate U.S. television stations, including corporate legal persons.

Murdoch had to immigrate to the United States in order to buy American television stations.

Of course, if you can buy a TV station with a certain foundation, of course, it is better. For example, the professional team, the laying of the ratings network, those who have money may be able to do it, but it will take time. And the cost is not necessarily less than acquiring a TV station.

However, Douglas gave him good news: "It is said that the parent company of American Chinese TV is seeking financing. ”

"Where did you get the news?"

"Boss, my subordinates can get some undisclosed information!"

Link understands that he's talking about hackers. It's just that why did the hacker now appear on a local TV station: "Your subordinates are not interested in the Chinese?"

"No, he said he stumbled upon the news while hacking into the American Chinese network. You know that the American Chinese Channel and the American Chinese Network both belong to the American Asia Culture Media Group. ”

"Any definite news?"

"Yes. My offline hacker thought we were a business intelligence organization, so we were sensitive to those trade secrets. Douglas said and pulled out a USB stick.

Link took the USB stick and said, "Could my companies be his target as well?"

"He didn't know my identity, but he never gave me any information about your companies. ”

Douglas receives a lot of information every day, but he will filter out what might be useful to Link. The rest is kept as a database in case it needs to be used later: "And he can't be hacked by any company." ”

Link was a little relieved and said, "It seems that I am also looking for a better information security company." "Information security is very important for a company, especially Ozette Bank, which is okay right now and doesn't have any customers. In the future, if there are more customers, if the customer information is hacked and leaked, it will cause a big blow to the bank's reputation.

He played with the USB flash drive and said, "I'll look at the information." Anything else?"

"No more. I'm going first! I'll go to Peru tomorrow. ”

"Thank you. ”

Douglas nodded, turned and walked away. Link took the USB flash drive to the study, and then didn't connect to the Internet. He opened the only document on the USB stick. It was indeed the financing plan of Meiya Media Group.

After reading it, he felt that he might be able to take a stake in the company first, and then slowly seek control of the company.

He unplugged the USB flash drive before connecting to the Internet and checked the situation of the company on the Internet.

From the information searched on the Internet, it can be seen that perhaps because the capital of the white people does not want to control the company, it is not listed, and the shares are held by the Chinese. And the plan for this financing is also aimed at Chinese Americans.

The plan is to issue new shares to sell to internal shareholders and find new investors.

The founder of Meiya Culture Media, surnamed Jiang, is an immigrant from Xiangjiang, and the group owns the American Chinese channel, two websites, a Chinese newspaper, a Chinese weekly, and an Asian cultural center.

Of course, Link's main focus is on the TV station.

American Chinese Television is a local television station that began broadcasting in 1990. On cable networks, there are only six hours of airtime per day. However, since the advent of digital television, the station has become the only Chinese-language television station on the East Coast to broadcast 24 hours a day.

However, the TV station's viewing coverage is not large. Only parts of a few states around New York are covered. Of course, it is enough for a Chinese-language TV station. Because the main Chinese concentration area on the East Coast of the United States is also near New York.

It's easy to set up a TV station in the United States, so almost all minorities have their own TV station. The number of TV stations in the Chinese community is only the fifth largest among them.

But even fifth, there are more than a dozen Chinese-language TV stations in the United States. Among them, Los Angeles is the largest number, with nearly ten of them, and the competition is for the Chinese market, so the competition on the West Coast is fierce. On the East Coast, the Chinese market is relatively small, from more than a dozen TV stations at the beginning, only two are relatively successful so far. The rest is just struggling to survive.

He also wants to buy Meiya Media, but he doesn't have that opportunity now. He could see it in the financing plan. Meiya financing is not because of lack of funds, but because it wants to upgrade the TV station. They are concerned about the growing and widespread spread of Chinese immigrants and, most importantly, the growing number of Americans learning Chinese. They want to be able to cover a wider network of signals. That would require more funding.

They need financing, but from their financing plan. Once they issue new shares, the new shares will account for 20% of all shares, of which 10% will be pre-emptively purchased by existing shareholders according to their shareholdings, and the remaining 10% will be available as options with no decision-making power but the right to dividends for five years to attract new investors.

That is to say, after he gets those shares, he will not be able to participate in the management of the company, but he can enjoy dividends. After five years, he will have all the rights to that 10% stake.

That made him a little uncomfortable. It's also an opportunity, though. After getting those shares, he will be able to join Meiya Media, and it will be easier to get a controlling stake in the future.

Besides, he now has enough money to support a newly established TV station, but he may not be able to find a suitable team to manage it. In that case, it is better to let the existing team manage it first, and when there is a chance in the future, he will buy the entire group as a shareholder, which may make it more acceptable to the employees of the group.
