Chapter 1014: Shameless Americans (9)
Sun Ziming has lived in the United States for many years, and as a former hot-blooded young man, many years of life in the United States have also been changing some of his views. For example, he used to think that the United States is a Protestant country, believing that wealth has original sin, and to eliminate original sin and go to heaven, you must give back wealth to society, so most Americans like to do charity, and there are countless charitable foundations of all kinds.
However, as he learned about the United States, Sun Ziming realized that this was a lie carefully woven by pro-American people. Among the many charitable foundations, it is not excluded that such as the Rockefeller Foundation, is sincerely for charity, but how many are for tax avoidance, how many are for trading, and how many are for family interests, only God knows.
The reason is simple, for the many foundations in the United States, the core question is who owns the foundation?
In the private ownership society of the West, the ownership of the foundation is not that of the state, but of private hands, and such foundations are all private funds. Even if some foundations are nominally owned by the public welfare and the whole society, the articles of association of the foundation and so on are kept secret, and the actual owner of the foundation is the person who holds the actual position in the foundation. The selection of these people in positions has their own secret procedures, which cannot be known to the outside world, let alone the participation of the people, the state and society. The actual result of the rich donating to such a foundation is that the foundation is still in the hands of the descendants of these rich people. And such benefits, tax avoidance is only the most direct superficial benefit, the core interest is not here, but to maintain the long-term control of the family.
Foreigners who don't know what these things are, but the American people know very well what those foundations are, so they don't talk about what foundations they set up, who donated to which foundations, but only about which foundations are used for a certain charitable project. The reason why Sun Ziming has a very high reputation in American society is not only because he has made classic films that the American people love, but also because his foundation has been funding education in large quantities every year, and every time he has donated a lot, although there is a suspicion of taking the opportunity to hype, it is also difficult to suspect that his purpose of establishing the foundation is not pure.
Therefore, when Jiang Peng, whose behavior is strictly restricted by US law, appeared at Sun Ziming's house in public and said, 'Witness a great moment', Tino's first reaction was that this guy was going to donate a lot of money again to seize the advantage of public opinion.
How much is there for the big deal? Sun Ziming used to say in private that the Far Eastern Group can have today's achievements, but his contribution is actually very small, and only the Light and Shadow Group is his achievement. Compared with Sun Ziming's donation of the shares of the Light and Shadow Company a few years ago, as well as this guy's consistent style and the upcoming listing of the Light and Shadow Group, Tino guessed that what he wanted to donate was probably the shares of the Light and Shadow Group.
As for the use, Tino can guess a few points, Jingshi University has been open for three years, and the first class of students will graduate next year. I am afraid that Sun Ziming wants to subsidize his students on a large scale to study in prestigious universities in Europe and the United States according to his previous ideas. If your guess is correct, the world's top universities such as Harvard, Yale, and Massachusetts will be the biggest beneficiaries, and almost all of the big names in Washington graduated from these schools, and the alma mater complex will make most politicians have a good impression of Sun Ziming.
If this is the case, even if Edward and the others get the evidence, as long as it does not directly prove that Sun Ziming is guilty, even if those politicians do not want to act, in the face of pressure from alumni and teachers, I am afraid that they will make their own statements and then contribute to public opinion. In other words, as long as Sun Ziming takes that step, he will be invincible, unless Edward and they can find irrefutable evidence. However, Sun Ziming, this guy, can achieve today's achievements, may leave people with a handle with complete human and physical evidence?
As Edward and Kane, who planned the whole plan, they knew from the moment Zhang Jinhai harmed himself that it had come to naught if they wanted to get strong evidence, and they desperately wanted to put an end to the matter, so as not to find nothing after Sun Ziming found out the truth.
For Sun Ziming, the kidnapping case has always been a sword of Damocles hanging over his head. Perhaps Zhang Jinhai can indeed hold on, but compared to the prestige of the CIA and the reputation of the entire group and the 'Chinese Freemasonry', he would rather pay the price he can afford than take such a big risk. Therefore, when Sun Ziming proposed to pay 'protection money' to those who blackmailed him in the name of the endowment foundation, the two sides had a basis for mutual compromise.
Thus, when Tino's judgment and ideas reached Washington, Edward and Kane decided to compromise and bypass Shantino and draw a bottom line - to recoup the losses of the California consortium last time in the battle for control of the Light and Shadow Company. and authorized Tino and Bobby to be solely responsible for negotiating with Sun Ziming.
As soon as the bottom line of negotiation and verbal authorization arrived, Tino felt a chill in his heart, which confirmed his other suspicion that the whole incident was a conspiracy made up by Shantino. Oh my God, this is not the meaning of Wall Street at all, nor the meaning of the government, but just that Sandino persuaded Edward and Kane to use the power of state institutions and take huge political risks for their own personal gain! Thinking about the cooperation with BP (British Petroleum) that Santino fully promoted behind the scenes some time ago, Tino was even more disgusted.
‘yeah!’
'Hooray'
There was a sudden burst of cheers and applause outside the door, so loud that it penetrated the closed solid wood office door, and Tino, who was pinching his mobile phone in a daze, immediately came back to his senses. It must have been China Ming who announced the listing plan and the stock distribution plan, so that the employees outside cheered.
‘S/hit!’
Tino scolded secretly, although they had gained benefits, they had suffered heavy losses. If it weren't for this bad thing, Alexander would have been able to get a lot of futures stocks, and he would have been able to get a lot of shares for all aspects, but now there is nothing!
After a long time, Sun Ziming pushed open the office door and came in, and laughed and scolded the people behind him, "Get out!" Get out of here! Don't you see that I still have guests? ”
ESPN ace host Tuchester Scott, who has always liked to make fun of Sun Ziming on the show to boost the ratings, came in after Sun Ziming and begged: "Boss, I won't delay your visit, but you have to give me a reasonable explanation for the matter." For the sake of your statement, I also deliberately advertised yesterday, how do you ask me to explain to the audience and advertisers? ”
Interpretation? Sun Ziming scratched his head and asked rhetorically, "Jill didn't make it clear to you?" ”
is different from the image on TV, the current Tuchester is not atmospheric at all, a typical little employee who pleases the big boss, "Boss, Jill is not you, I am a little person in her eyes!" ”
"Fart! You just want to dig up some insider information, so as to make a mess for Lao Tzu, get out! If you don't get out, Lao Tzu will reduce your futures stocks. ”
"Really?"
"Get out of here!"
Seeing that Sun Ziming was not fooled, and that there were indeed guests in the office, Tuchester had to say hello to Tino and go out, and turned back before the door: "Boss, why don't I tell the audience that you are pregnant, so you cancel your personal statement temporarily?" ”
"Get out!"
"Ok, that's what I said", Tuchester regained his witty voice on TV, and walked away with a grin, presumably the bastard would have said that.
The laughter and scolding of the two made Tino a little envious. Edward, Kane, and other big men usually seem to be amiable, but when they encounter problems, they use a commanding tone, and there is no room for negotiation at all, such as forcing him to be a negotiator.
Knocking away the 'ill-intentioned' Tuchester, Sun Ziming closed the door and said with a smile: "What's wrong? Personal statement, I'm taking it back, you have to release some sincerity, right? ”
Tino avoided answering the matter, but said sincerely: "Ming, we are friends, I cherish our friendship for more than ten years, but there are many things that I can't choose, can you understand?" ”
'Hehehe', Sun Ziming smiled and said equally sincerely: "Tino, so I didn't cancel Alexander's futures because of her resignation." ”
Isn't that harmful? Tino hurriedly excused himself, but Sun Ziming would be willing to give up, a good opportunity to divide the opposing camp, "No, no, No, Tino, you have no right to make decisions for Alexander!" It is she who contributes to the company, not you. ”
Seeing that Sun Ziming insisted on this, Tino knew that even if he could persuade Alexander to come forward in person to refuse, the other party would still put her name in the list of shareholders of the group and announce it to the public before the listing, so he had to smile bitterly: "Ming, you know that Alexander will refuse, why do you bother to do this?" ”
It doesn't matter, the list of shareholders has already been sent to New York, and even if Alexander wants to refuse, it can make people suspicious, and this is enough.
Sun Ziming also pretended to be helpless and said: "No, I even arranged some futures stocks for Kirk and Shirley, if I don't give it to my old subordinate Alexander, how can you let me explain it to everyone?" Tino, I am the chairman of a group, and the most important thing internally is fairness, not some personal feelings. ”
This kind of is enough to be high-sounding, Tino angrily and funny used his finger and tapped Sun Ziming, but he was helpless.
"Ok, I don't care about you, that subordinate of yours is in Rio de Janeiro and will be escorted back to the United States tomorrow, who will you send to visit?"
Speaking of business, Sun Ziming was also upright, and said in a low voice: "Tino, we have been friends for many years, and there is no third person here." I hope you'll sue me, is it really what I imagined? ”
Although Tino was very dissatisfied with the shamelessness of Shantino, everyone belonged to an interest group and had to stand aside, so he still didn't look like he said: "Ming, things are a little more complicated than you think." I still agree with your Chinese saying, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake. ”
