"Why, you've known each other for a long time?" Ling Shizhe looked at Foster and Allison and asked.

The two looked at each other, and then nodded to Ling Shizhe in unison.

Ling Shizhe suddenly became interested and said, "I mind telling me about it, I'm very interested in some of the things that happened in the McCarthyism era. ”

The two looked at each other again, and Foster said, "I'll tell you, I think boss, after you listen to our story, you will know how terrifying America was at that time." ”

"We have to start in 1929, after 10 years of the Great Bull Market, the American financial world collapsed, and stocks fell from the top to the abyss overnight. Within a week, Americans lost $10 billion in wealth on the stock exchange, and farmers poured milk into the Mississippi River ...... in order to destroy the "surplus" product."

For 10 years, even in 1940, the unemployed accounted for 1/4 of the total population, that is, one out of every four people was unemployed, which shows how bad the economic environment in the United States was at that time.

At the same time, the success of the Soviet Union's five-year planned economy had a great shock to Western countries, so it set off a large-scale ** movement in the United States, and by 1938, the United States ** had more than 75,000 members, which created the foundation for the future McCarthy extreme ** movement.

However, in the United States at that time, there was no later **, and it was very fashionable to join ** at that time, especially for young people at that time, when many senators also joined ** for the sake of votes, and many children of American politicians also joined**.

That's when Foster joined, along with Alison, but Foster was different from them in that he joined because he had a crush on a girl.

In 1941, the Pacific War broke out, the United States began to intervene in World War II, the United States reached its heyday, but the good times did not last long, after the end of World War II, the United States, the shadow of war has not disappeared, and the terrifying atmosphere of the Cold War followed.

In order to compete with the Soviet Union for military hegemony in the world, the U.S. government began to eliminate the "** ideology" at home, so the United States ** tragedy.

In that particular context, a man appeared, and that person was Joseph Raymond McCarthy, the notorious man in American history.

In 1946, he was elected to the Senate based on his views, and during his tenure as a senator, he often made speeches attacking **, and in order to seek a higher political position, McCarthy began to actively help Eisenhower run for president, and it goes without saying that Eisenhower was successfully elected.

Eisenhower reciprocated by making Joseph Raymand McCarthy chairman of the government activities committee, and the extreme campaign storm began in the United States......

In order to clean up the influence of ** throughout the United States, Joseph Raymond McCarthy and Roy Cohen directed an investigative committee to investigate members of the US Democratic Party and his political opponents, and many news figures who had opinions about him were removed, arrested, and even executed. That includes Foster and Alison, both of whom met in prison.

"Boss, do you know that every day in the whole of America people are arrested and put to prison as **, and then executed for the same reason, Alison and I are locked in the same cell, watching them get caught one by one, and then pulled out one by one to be executed, we are all terrified in our hearts, we don't know when it will be our turn."

"Yes, we were scared, I thought my life was over, but we didn't think it was ......," Allison said.

Ling Shizhe said: "Unexpectedly, Eisenhower ousted McCarthy from power under the pretext that he wanted to conduct a loyalty investigation in the army, so you are free, am I right?" ”。

"Yes, that's right, we're thankful to Eisenhower for cleaning up that bastard."

Ling Shizhe lame, what Eisenhower cleaned up that bastard, it was clearly a good way to cross the river and tear down the bridge, when McCass was appointed chairman of the White House Government Activities Committee, President Eisen must have said to McCarthy: "The ** of the United States to be eliminated, you have the talent to do this task, don't worry about it, I'm behind you." ”

So this stupid guy rushed out, became President Ai's MT, attracted hatred in front, and when the domestic ** forces were almost cleaned up, Eisenhower decisively took away all the bridges, so poor McCarthy became President Ai's scapegoat.

Needless to say, President Xiao Ai began to pretend to be a good person, signed an amnesty, and released the innocent. A political dumping that has long been rotten in China was staged by President Xiao Ai in the United States, so the American people were grateful to President Ai, looking at Allison and Foster with palpitations, Ling Shizhe silently said in his heart, Oh, poor boy, you know, you have been tricked.

Ling Shizhe clapped his hands and said, "Okay, your story has been told, now we have to start working, Alison, did the Canadian government say how much Bombardier is going to sell?" ”

"They didn't say boss."

"Okay, send someone to ask, I hope the price is not too black, you know that it has a debt of 6 billion Canadian dollars, if they dare to hack us, just give up, understand?"

"I understand the boss, I know what to do, if nothing else, let's go first." After getting Ling Shizhe's permission, Alison and the others left the conference room.

In the early morning of March, most of Canada was still covered with snow and ice, and the roads were covered with thick snow on both sides, and a Lincoln diplomat was driving on the road that had just been cleared by snow clearers, and it was heading for the city of Montreal, and the early residents around knew that it was the car of Ling Shizhe, the owner of Ambrera.

This time, he will go to sign the repurchase agreement -- the Prime Minister of the Canadian government yesterday signed the administrative approval document that Bombardier will sell to Ambrera for one dollar, and today the final formalities will be completed, and from then on, Bombardier will officially belong to Ambrera.

According to the agreement negotiated between the two parties, after the acquisition of Bombardier, the name Bombardier will be completely erased from history, the company will be divided, and the aviation division will be merged to China Aircraft Industry Corporation to become the new China Aircraft (Canada) Co., Ltd.; The motorcycle division and the train division will be renamed Ambrera Rolling Stock S.p.A. and Ambrera Rail Cars S.A., and a transportation manufacturing department will be established at the Ambrera headquarters to coordinate the direct relationship between the three subsidiaries.

Ling Shizhe also promised the Canadian government that within five years after the acquisition of Bombardier, no matter how the company operates, as long as employees do not violate corporate discipline, the company will never lay off employees, let alone resell the company, and will be responsible for repaying Bombardier's debt of 6 billion Canadian dollars.

When he decided to acquire Bombardier, Ling Shizhe made up his mind to completely consume Bombardier, and he adopted the method of Boeing's merger with McDonnell Ethnowell to completely absorb McDonnell Douglas and make McDouglas history.

So today, and the last day in Bombardier's history, starting tomorrow, a brand new company will appear on Canadian soil.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Ling Shizhe appeared at the mayor's office on time, and after a brief exchange with Andrew, the two sides began to sign each other's documents.

These legal documents have already been sorted out by a lawyer, Ling Shizhe just signed them, and then exchanged documents with Andrew to continue to sign.

There are more than ten copies of the document in total, and it was signed quickly, and then he stood up and shook hands with the mayor Andrew, and took a photo in front of the media, after clicking the flashing light, the reporter left, the waiter came over with champagne, Ling Shizhe raised his glass and touched it with Andrew, and then drank it all, even if the whole procedure was completed, Bombardier from today is completely owned by Ambrera.

Ling Shizhe didn't go out with everyone, he stayed in the mayor's office, Andrew handed him a cigar, Ling Shizhe waved his hand and said, "I can't get used to this, I'll smoke cigarettes." After that, he took out a cigarette and lit it.

Andrew took a puff on his cigar and said, "Ling, I'm relaxed now, the Bombardier matter is over, and I'm glad I can solve it perfectly." ”

"yes, it's perfectly settled, but I'm also going to be saddled with a huge debt."

"No, in Ambrera's situation, $6 billion is not a big burden, on the contrary, you will get a lot of benefits after you buy Bombardier. I know that you have a plan to develop military aircraft, and if you can manufacture it, the Canadian side is also willing to support it. "Andrew made a blank check.

"Let's talk about something practical, I know that the development of military aircraft is not as simple as you said, if you want us to study military aircraft, plus the first party to pay the relevant research and development costs, and give nothing, what do you want me to study for the military?" Ling Shizhe said with disdain, everyone knows that Canada's military aircraft have always been directly purchased from the United States for active aircraft, and it is very uneconomical for Canada to develop a military aircraft with such an army, rather than this, it is better to buy it directly from the United States, anyway, the two countries are also allies.

Seeing that Ling Shizhe was not fooled, Andrew changed the subject, his mayoral term still has two years left, and after two years, he wants to run for the Senate of the Canadian Parliament, hoping to get Ling Shizhe's support.

"What benefits do I get?"

Andrew took out a document and handed it over, Ling Shizhe took it, opened it, and saw that it read "Comprehensively Promoting and Supporting Canada's High-tech Industries and a More Generous Tax Rebate Act".

Andrew then gave him another document that said "More Tax Rebate Support Program for the Canadian Film Industry".

Ling Shizhe smiled, stretched out his hand and said, "Mayor Andrew, we should have a good talk about the cooperation between us. ”

Andrew also stretched out his hand and held everything tightly with Ling Shizhe, and said with a smile: "I think we can find a common topic." ”
