Chapter 253:
"It's complicated." Lao Bu shook his head, "Although the president is the leader of the country, even if he is a king in the feudal period, thousands of powers are gathered into one, but they are also involuntarily, let alone the president of the United States." β
"Because of arms smuggling?" Sean frowned, tilted his head and looked at Lao Bu, "No, it's a big deal to find an agent abroad, and you can also sell weapons, nothing more than a little less money, clean, there will be no trouble, I can think of this." β
"Of course, it's not just to sell a little arms, everyone knows that the Italian side has always used American goods, except for the people." Lao Bu organized his language and said: "This matter is so complicated that it can't be finished in a day, to put it simply, we can't give up the Yi side, even if they are anti-American, we still have to maintain our influence in the Yi side, we can't let them completely throw themselves into the arms of the Soviets, and we can't let that force continue to expand." β
"No, that's not right!" Sean shook his head, "The Soviet Union is atheistic, and they are not compatible with those green cults at all."
Lao Bu looked at Sean with a strange expression, "You...... Well, you didn't study modern history. β
Sean:???
Old man, why are you mocking me for being uneducated?
Lao Bu shook his head, there was no expression on his face, but it was like this, and Sean almost jumped.
Why don't you taunt me loudly!!
I turned my head and rummaged around my desk to find the first map, opened it and put it on my desk.
"This is the Soviet Union, do you understand!" Lao Bu pointed to the map.
Sean looked down, then frowned, and then slapped his forehead hard!
It is a plant.
In the end, the time for rebirth is still short, and the map in his memory is from later generations, after the collapse of the Soviet Union!
On the world map now, this stan, that stan...... And so on all of them are Soviet!
The borders are dead on the side of Iraq and Afghanistan.
If it weren't for the fact that the United States had been supporting Iran and Afghanistan at all costs, the Soviet flag would have been planted long ago.
For the United States, this thing is like a virus, and the speed of its spread is beyond imagination!
"Therefore, the United States does not dare to start a war with the Iranian side at all, even if the pro-American forces are driven out, even if they slapped the Americans in the face with a big mouth, bulldozed the embassy, and detained the personnel, we must endure it, and we have to go up the pole to lick their ass and give them support!" Sean said with a strange expression.
"Or else?" Lao Bu spread his hands helplessly, "What can I do?" β
"You see, it turns out that the so-called religion simply cannot resist the spread of red, not to mention that after the Great Patriotic War, Stalin let go of the strategy of purging religion to the end."
"No matter how much those people on the side don't want to give up the power in their hands, there is absolutely no way to resist the Soviets by relying on them alone."
"Even if they are confident and think they can do it, we can't let him try!"
"The United States cannot, and does not dare to, allow the Soviets to spread to the Middle East, they will completely destroy the foundation of the United States, the 'petrodollar' system, not to mention, at the critical moment of the Star Wars program, they must not be released."
"They must be locked in cages!"
"For this reason, we did not hesitate to compromise with the rabbit!"
Sean was finally completely stunned, no wonder over the years, Yi Fang jumped up and down like a disgusting clown, but Lao Mei just said something like "evil country" and "terrorism" from beginning to end, which is no different from protest.
Thunder and rain...... There's no rain!
The cowardly one does not have the bearing of the world police, and it turns out that the roots are here.
The United States is 100 percent sure that it has cleaned up the current Iran, but once it has absolute superiority on the battlefield, the Iranian side will throw itself into the arms of the Soviets as soon as possible......
If you don't want nuclear bombs flying all over the sky, then there is no then!
If you win, you are a second force, and if you lose, you are a fool.
The United States is the first big country and the most powerful, and he must not show helplessness, but must also be tough.
Therefore, for Yi Fang, he can only be appeased and patient like he treats the bear child of a strong neighbor.
In the face of this disgusting, fearless hob meat, Reagan is really, too difficult!!
"Reagan, miserable!" Sean shook his head and sighed.
"So, there's something I need your help with right now." Lao Bu stared at Sean and said, "There is no paper order, out of this room, I won't admit it." β
"Private, right?" Sean laughed, he likes to work privately!
His identity ensures that he is not afraid of being killed, and neither Reagan nor Lao Bu has this ability.
Then, private work is a big favor!
Get this favor, as long as it doesn't go too far, before Reagan steps down, he can do something free!
I really can't ask for a pardon.
"Secretly send people to Lebanon, we need all the journalists who have been kidnapped by terrorist organizations, rescue, get out, come out." Lao Bu said in a deep voice.
Seeing that half of Lao Bu's face was in the shadow of the light, Sean felt, "Uncle Lao Bu, you look particularly evil now." β
Lao Bu: γ½ ( γQ. )γοΌ
Looking at Sean with a confused face, Lao Bu really felt speechless!
"Hahaha, don't be angry, Uncle Bu, just kidding." Sean smiled and said: "This kind of thing is normal, no one wants them to have an accident, but, things are like this, and they are not controlled by anyone, there are always people who are lucky, there are always people who are unlucky, and when someone speaks out, they stand at the end that most people will never reach in this life." β
"Trouble always has to be solved, why were our soldiers beaten in North Korea back then?"
"That's because the other side is really strong, they really dare to fight to the last without any supplies, without any rescue, and they will never surrender, while our people have surrendered tens of thousands of people in the Philippines."
"Of course, this kind of institutional issue is not what we need to discuss now, but, we have to admit,"
"People are not ruthless, and they can't stand steadily!"
"Are these hostages the source of everything?" Sean looked at Lao Bu.
"An excuse, to be exact." Lao Bu thought for a while and said.
"What if the excuse dies?"
"That must have been brutally killed by the terrorists on the Iranian side, and we can only express our frustration and grief at the same time, and fiercely condemn the evil acts of the Iranian side, and increase the embargo and blockade intensity against it!"
"What about the private contact with the Yi side before, this matter will definitely be exposed, and the Donkey Party will definitely do this, as long as they control the scope of the impact not to exceed the United States, this will definitely be able to hit a wave of Donkey Party, just like the Elephant Party did 6 years ago."
"That's to find out if the hostages are alive or dead, and we have to make sure if the hostages are alive." Lao Bu replied without thinking: "But it's a pity. β
"Uh-huh." Sean nodded, "During a conflict in Lebanon, several hostages were unfortunately killed. β
Lao Bu nodded slightly with a facial expression.
"Oh, by the way, I need to know exactly where the hostages are."
"There will only be an approximate range, and it is not entirely possible to be completely sure."
"Okay, okay, that's a nuisance!" Sean shook his head.
should have accepted the black job given by Lao Bu, and Sean left directly without discussing any conditions.
Lao Bu opened his mouth a few times, and he almost said that he would let Sean put forward conditions, but Sean refused one by one!
Can this be mentioned?
This can't!
Lao Bu sent Sean away with some reluctance, and caught a plane overnight, and Sean went straight to New York.
It's really busy that your feet don't touch the ground.
Sean didn't want to go to Rockefeller Manor or the family building, so he went to New York and stayed in a five-star hotel.
β¦β¦
Just when Sean, who was in New York, fell asleep, Hong Kong Island, Sha Tin.
Le Huizhen put on her makeup and walked out of the room listlessly.
Recently, Le Huizhen has had a very difficult time.
It's not that she was fired from TVB, on the contrary, she is now living a very nourishing life in TVB.
Exceptional moisture.
There is no need to go out to run outside in the sun, the work becomes to hand over the work plan arranged in the department to the people below every day, and wait until the end of the day to accept it, and the rest of the time to sit in the building drinking tea and reading the newspaper.
To be honest, Le Huizhen used to be extremely envious of this kind of life, with few things and a high salary, so she didn't have to use her brains.
But now that she has really been doing it for a while, Le Huizhen feels like she is going to grow hair.
Of course, what really made her uncomfortable was that the people in the company looked at her as if they had seen a plague, and they wanted to hide as far as they could.
Obviously, people are in the company, but they are silently excluded by the whole.
For Le Huizhen, this kind of silent violence is better than being directly expelled, and then kidnapped or whatever.
It's so tormenting!
Mainly on the Governor's Palace, the new Governor has arrived, and he is handing over to Youde, a huge Hong Kong Island, and the position is so important that it cannot be completed in a short period of time.
No one has time to care about such a small role as Le Huizhen now.
And the fact that three well-known barristers on Hong Kong Island jointly bailed out Le Huizhen made TVB feel weird, and they didn't dare to find any reason to fire people casually.
TVB is waiting, waiting for the new governor to officially come to power.
Sycophants, selling favors also have to grasp the timing, what you do now is to flatter the blind and show it, and it is easy to make a fuss for yourself.
On the side of the road, a taxi was parked, and a man hurried over and pulled the door to get in.
βGet lostοΌβ Neil turned his head and cursed.
The man was stunned when he saw that it was a foreigner driver, although he couldn't understand it, Neil stretched out his hand and pointed to the outside gesture that he could understand.
Facing the 'locals', this outsider hurriedly nodded 'good amount' and 'good amount'.
Neil kept seeing Le Huizhen come out, so he hurriedly clicked the accelerator and stopped steadily in front of Le Huizhen.
How expensive the taxi is, Le Huizhen walked forward and walked around, but Neil drove forward again.
Le Huizhen went again, and Neil opened again.
"Hey, what are you doing!"
"Beauty, let me pick you up." Neil tilted his head and whispered.
This sentence sounded in Le Huizhen's ears like thunder, making Le Huizhen's whole person stiffen in place.
Excited to tremble hands opened the car door and immediately sat in, reached out and grabbed Neil's arm, suppressed a trembling voice and asked, "You are, you, I, I don't know you, how can you prove it." β
"Not bad, a little wary." Neil smiled and suddenly said, "You kissed your head!" β
"Ahh Le Huizhen screamed in surprise, and her face suddenly turned red.
There was excitement, joy, fear, and relief on her face, and she was scared for a while, but she was tormented badly, and she once thought that the bad man had completely forgotten her.
Sean: Impossible, absolutely impossible!
When Le Huizhen calmed down, she found that the car had already driven a long way.
"No, wait, where is this going?" Le Huizhen hurriedly asked.
"Go to the airport, do you bring your passport?" Neil asked, turning his head.
"I, I don't have it, what passport do I bring to work?" Le Huizhen hurriedly replied.
"This is for you, your new identity." Neil pulled out a passport from his side and handed it over.
Le Huizhen opened it, the text was not recognized at all, but the photo, which was eight points similar to her, "Where is this passport?" β
"From now on, you are Colombian-Chinese, you don't need to look at it, the passport is 100% real, the government issued it, the ticket has been bought for you, go to Pattaya, Thailand, and someone will pick you up there." Neil said as he drove the taxi with one hand.
"Oh, that, that, that......" Le Huizhen's face turned red, and she didn't ask anything for a long time.
"Boss, you'll see you in a few days."
"Oh......" As soon as she heard that she couldn't see people right away, Le Huizhen's mood immediately fell.
Seeing this, Neil added, "Don't worry, even for those Hollywood stars, the boss has never been so attentive." β
As soon as these words came out, Le Huizhen only felt that a basin of ice water was poured on her head, it was obvious that there were many villain women, even Hollywood stars, so what was herself?
Although Le Huizhen also considered it, that man's methods are so old and spicy, he must have experienced a hundred battles, but when he really heard this, he was still panicked.
The whole person became wilted, and tears were rolling in his eyes.
Nilton was dumbfounded, this ......
Probably, like, maybe, said the wrong thing?
hurriedly remedied, "Although there are many boss women, the real girlfriend has not yet been determined." β
A lot?!
"Wow!!" , Le Huizhen cried wherever she lay down.
Neil: "......"
I'm like, I'm in trouble......
β¦β¦
Early the next morning, Sean went straight to the New York City government.
A small meeting, although the old man David paved the way for Sean, but Sean had to come up with a reasonable takeover plan that would satisfy the city government, and he had to personally commit and sign some agreements.
Wolf Casey, who stayed from the time of the Dimio Group, can now stand in the Sean Group, which shows his ability to do things.
What Sean values most is the word 'stability'!
Don't expect Wolf Cathy to open up the market, and don't expect him to make the company grow in profits, but this guy's can keep the garbage disposal company's side running smoothly without problems.
Of course, Wolf Casey wasn't so steady before...... Now he didn't dare to be unstable.
At the time, a large part of Dimio's elite was on the side of the garbage disposal company, and he saw Sean's men driving a six-tube Gatling with his own eyes.
After a quick look at the takeover plan made by Wolf Cathy, Sean was very satisfied and handed it over directly.
It's not like a direct acquisition like a merger with other companies, and the whole plan takes a month.
At first, it only took over the garbage transported from New York to the integrated treatment center here, and first completed the processes of stacking, secondary sorting, incineration and power generation.
In the past, New York's garbage was transported to Pennsylvania, where mining left many tunnels that could be used for deep landfills, but now all the garbage has to be transported to New Jersey.
After the transportation, stacking, sorting, and incineration system is running smoothly, we will take over the garbage compression and baling plant in New York City.
Finally, the sanitation workers and garbage transport vehicles were taken over one by one.
Slow is really a little slower, but it's really steady.
Every time you take over a link, even if there is a problem, it is easy to deal with it, it is better than taking it over at once, there is no run-in in each link, and it is better to mess up.
In this regard, the New York City government is quite satisfied.
The government department in charge of garbage disposal is very happy!
Departments that stink more than shit are all distributed here.
In this era, the disposal of garbage is not much oil and water except landfill or incineration.
They don't refine 'blended oils'......
It is nothing more than a small right to purchase garbage cans, repair garbage vehicles, and transfer train and barge capacity to the East, which can also squeeze out oil, and in Laomei, this is directly signed with large service companies for long-term contracts.
Want to use your power for personal gain?
Don't think about it!
The threshold is above the head of the department with the decision-making power, and you must be vigilant against the IRS at all times.
In the area of anti-corruption, Lao Mei really plays very clearly.
There is no need for a 'property declaration system' that can never be 'really' passed.
In 1978, the U.S. Congress passed the Ethics of Government Act, which clearly stipulates that officials of the executive, judicial, and legislative branches must disclose the property status of themselves, their spouses, and dependent children, and submit a written report on the property status in accordance with the prescribed procedures.
In 1985, the Code of Ethics for Members and Employees of the House of Representatives was adopted, which provided more detailed provisions for the declaration of family assets of members of the House of Representatives and employees.
You don't have to think about cheating, the people of the opponent party will be very careful, serious, responsible, and review back and forth for you.
(In the previous article, many readers questioned the $10,000 monthly 'consultant fee', saying that it was too little, which only shows that the judges have too much tolerance for corruption...... οΌ
(In 2020, House Jason Bupol, a member of the Natural Resources Committee and an adviser to Terra Energy Production, earned $460,000 in 2019, or $40,000 a month, which is the price of a 2019 House member.) οΌ
What's more, the IRS keeps an eye on everyone's tax returns, and in the United States, money must be deposited in the bank, and every penny must have a clear and legal source, and any property of unknown origin will be directly confiscated.
If someone or a family member has more than a dozen houses and how much savings, if you can't understand a reasonable and legal source of property, then you will be miserable!
Without further ado, once the handover process is passed, all that's left is to sign some documents and commitments.
It was all negotiated, and Sean signed his name with a stroke of the pen.
As for the legislation to be passed by the New York Legislature, this cannot be discussed at this time.
However, this kind of law, which is used to maintain the environment and ensure that the city is clean, tidy and beautiful, has a 100% chance of passing.
With this done, Sean chatted with a group of government officials, and everyone didn't have many opportunities to deal with each other before, so he took this opportunity to get more familiar.
In the future, many of Sean's businesses will be carried out in New York, and there are many opportunities for cooperation.
But eating is not good, and it is working time during the day.
After getting things done here in New York, the details were left to Wolfe, and Sean hurried back to Newark.
In the evening, I also made an appointment with Gilbert, the owner of OceanFirst Bank.
Gilbert also has a stake in the Peace Hotel, and is one of the bosses, so it doesn't matter who entertains whom.
Starlight Nightclub, in the private room of the duplex glass room on the first floor, there is one here that Sean reserved for himself.
There were no outsiders in the box, Gilbert picked up a glass of wine and toasted and said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated you yet, the box office of "Instinct" exceeded 5 million on the first day, and according to the current trend, it can reach the 30 million mark. Gilbert smiled and said, "I heard that you wrote this script, and you edited it yourself?" β
"Box office, okay." Sean smashed his mouth and said with some dissatisfaction: "According to this trend, there will be more than 100 million in North America." β
To be honest, he is not satisfied, at least, he has a memory, and the film "Instinct" should be very high at the box office.
But this is a different flavor to Gilbert's ears, your mother, are you still dissatisfied with the box office of more than 100 million?
Is the realm of young people pretending to be so high nowadays!
Could this be the trick of this kid who has surpassed me in assets in just three years?
Learn to be wasted, learn to be wasted!
After a few compliments, Gilbert chatted with Sean about investing.
Speaking of which, Sean also joined the New Jersey consortium and also has shares in Ocean First Bank.
It's just that Sean expanded too fast, and the New Jersey consortium didn't get much benefit from it, and Gilbert came for it.
Sean's assets have increased rapidly, surpassing Gilbert, the head of this small local consortium, in a short period of time, and of course, it is certainly not comparable to the entire New Jersey consortium.
The New Jersey consortium has assets of more than $20 billion and controls assets of more than $50 billion.
Small it's also a consortium isn't.
"Investment?" Sean tilted his head to look at Gilbert, "Tell me, what does the consortium want to invest in?" β
"New World Media, Cartagena."
"Huh?" Sean looked at Gilbert with some amusement, "I remember when I was going to buy Capital Media for life, everyone was waiting to see the jokes. β
"So, the truth is often in the hands of a few." Gilbert spread his hands and said: "Although the time is still relatively short, and there is nothing concrete to reflect, everyone can see that the new century is indeed being reborn. β
The effect of Sean and Murdoch's-for-tat war of words has been discovered by anyone who pays special attention.
We also see traces of deliberate human guidance in this.
"I've heard that you're ready to continue to inject money into the new century and build a cable television network covering the whole of the United States on this basis." Gilbert is still very well-informed.
Sean laughed and nodded, it's not that the content of the meeting was leaked, in fact, what is confidential and what is not, there are detailed regulations.
The injection of funds is a deliberate disclosure of information to shareholders, and it is normal for it to come out.
As for the TV network that is gradually covering the whole United States, this is what Sean approved to be played to all employees.
The new official took office with three fires, to boost the morale of all employees, so that employees can see a broader future, the original capital media since the operation of the sale, the morale of the employees work enthusiasm has fallen to the bottom, the work efficiency is low, everyone is afraid of being laid off, this is not good!
In addition, a clear goal and ambition can also make the acquisition target feel the determination to either be acquired or seize the market!
How can it not be seen that the New Jersey consortium also controls most of the media in New Jersey.
"New century, there is no problem, how does the consortium want to buy shares?" Sean agreed without much thought, as for the reason......
Gilbert is old!
Gilbert's sons are all much older than Sean.
No matter how far-sighted and courageous Gilbert is, he can't do it after all, and he is still alive and kicking Shaun after he dies.
So, Sean is not afraid that Gilbert will shake his empire.
"How do you want to buy shares, exchange shares or cash?" Gilbert asked.
"Hmm...... Let's swap shares, although I'm short on cash. Sean hesitated for a moment and said, "But, I'm going to fly to Southeast Asia early tomorrow morning, and I may have time to get the specific things when I come back." β
"Go again!" Gilbert looked at Sean in surprise.
Some time ago, Sean had been making waves in Southeast Asia for a month, and he had only been back for a few days.
"Yes." Sean had a 'wry smile' on his face, "It's really, he's busy, I've made a few dollars, and I don't know if I can fulfill my dream of retiring at the age of 30 worth tens of billions." β
The corners of Gilbert's mouth twitched, and his hand grabbed the bottle uncontrollably, with such force that the muscles on his hands jumped.
Mom provoke Fack, it's the law that saved you!
Sean subconsciously leaned back, "Don't don't, calm down, just kidding, liven up the atmosphere, you see, at such an old age, you must take care of your body!" β
Gilbert looked at Sean helplessly, "If one day, you are beaten up, I will not be surprised at all!" β
"It's almost unlikely." Sean said with a grin: "You see, most of the people I come into contact with are billionaires, and most of the rich people are old and generally ...... Alas, don't don't, put down the bottle in your hand. β
Gilbert was kind of amused by Sean, but just kidding, everyone's relationship has become much closer.
There are fewer barriers that come with age.
"When will I be back!"
"It's not going to be a short trip."
"Are there any opportunities to make a fortune in Southeast Asia that allows you to invest so much time."
"The main thing is to open the market for the umbrella in Southeast Asia, no way, with the growth of the umbrella, the Caribbean region does not have much room for the umbrella to play." Sean said, spreading his hands.
The Caribbean is actually the most chaotic, not necessarily the Middle East, Africa and other differences, or even more chaotic.
After all, heaven is too far away, and America is too close.
But this is an acre and a third of the US military, and the key development direction of the umbrella is placed on the sea, so there is no room for Sean to exert it.
This is something that Sean hadn't thought of before.
At first, it was just to force the drug criminals to take goods from Cartagena and regulate their itinerary.
It wasn't until I was planning with Old Man Layton that I found out about this problem.
Of course, if Sean's development direction is in the army, then there is really a lot of room for him to gallop in South America.
"I've heard about it, and so are yours...... Wanting to win a country's naval defense is really, beyond the limits of my imagination. Gilbert sighed.
"Then you don't know how rich those guys are!" Sean snorted, "Do you know the muddy country? β
Gilbert shook his head, he had never had any business with that side, how could he know, it was not the Internet era.
Speaking of which, in the Internet era, any person is at the level of 'understanding king'!
Gilbert was shocked when he heard that the per capita income of mud was higher than that of Americans, and his first thought was impossible, and what followed was absurdity, when did the noble Americans not earn as much as a group of monkeys?
When he heard about the palace of King Haji of the mud, Gilbert was really sour!
Ordinary people will have the feeling that they have struggled all their lives and cannot see the shadow of some people when they speak out.
Gilbert never thought it would happen to him.
"It simply doesn't make sense that there won't be war in these places!" As an Anglo-Saxon descendant, Gilbert said through gritting his back molars.
Sean also nodded in agreement, his own strength is weak, and he is so rich, which in itself does not conform to the normal laws of society.
The reason why there is no war in those places in Southeast Asia should be thanks to rabbits!!
If it weren't for the bunnies, hey......
"I support you, you really should let them know who is the master of this world!" Gilbert patted Sean the shoulder.
Sean squinted at Gilbert, your old boy is really not a good person, but, I like it, hahahaha.
Later, they talked about increasing investment in Cartagena, and the New Jersey consortium saw the prospects for development there.
Excellent ports, huge population, stable public security environment, low wages, huge domestic market, the money situation is visible to the naked eye.
It's not that South America doesn't have enough room for development, but it's that it's too close to the United States and doesn't have an environment for development.
Sean didn't care about this, Gilbert and they were interested in the cheap industrial workers and the tax environment.
Sean just explained in advance, don't touch the industries of transportation, shipping, ports, retail, electricity, water, and real estate, these are all my own places for Sean.
Controlling the livelihood industry is the most stable and profitable!
Roughly in the next direction with Gilbert, Sean went back.
The next day, I changed my identity and flew straight to Hong Kong Island.
It's time to collect Boss He's money!
It's just that, according to the news that Sean got, there are many people who are eyeing the 500 million.
