Chapter 77: I Want to Be Governor
Xu Fei has operated minimaps before.
Silently recite your own unit to see where the opponent is located.
For example, when you meditate on Malaysia, you can see a bird's-eye view of the office and see the layout of the entire room.
It's just that the pixel of the picture is extremely low, and you can't see any font, and you can only tell from the movements of the horse that the other party seems to be writing.
Therefore, once the novelty passed, he never used it again.
But this time it's a little different.
Drag the minimap back over the Boston Police Department.
Silent Engineer Boris, the translucent page turned out to be unresponsive.
Try to say the ...... silently many times
The translucent page remains unresponsive.
But the own engineer came out!
Break the wall out.
And, several symbols pop up overhead: ???
It seems to be asking: Why did you call me out?
Immediately after, three spies also came out, followed by a **olice.
12 noon in Huangnigang and 11 p.m. in Boston.
Although it is known as the warmest city on the coast, the temperature is as low as minus five or six degrees, and it is late at night, so there are not many people on the streets.
The two sides fled one after the other, and soon rushed into the grove of Boston Common.
Xu Fei kept staring at the minimap, thinking about how to deal with it, and saw a white-skinned police officer who was at the back of the team, tall and fat, and out of breath, and tried to form a spy in the grass next to him and ask him to help him.

[Camouflage skill takes effect, Spy enters Hidden Mode]
The next moment.
The chubby policeman, with a disgusted face, glanced at the big belly, and beckoned to a colleague of similar size in the distance, "Hey, my brother, give me a hand." ”
The latter was too tired to speak, but took two steps back.
[Hostile Normal]
[Camouflage skill takes effect, Spy enters Hidden Mode]
Five minutes later.
Chubby Police David, and Chubby Police Alexander, limped to find the third dark-skinned Policeman, "Tim, help us both up." ”
[Hostile Normal]

Two hours later.
More than 20 police officers successfully arrested the absconding major shareholder of North American Tower Corporation, James, Deputy Director Smith, CEO Johnson, and Tower Project Director Boris, and returned to the Boston Police Department with great momentum.
As soon as they entered, the dog barked like crazy.
But after howling twice, he suddenly fell silent, and then went into the nest with his tail between his legs, and never dared to come out again......
Another two hours later.
Xu Fei got the ins and outs of the entire acquisition plan.
………………
North American East Coast, Boston.
Bain Capital Headquarters.
"The president, the management of the tower company and all shareholders were collectively arrested."
"Hmm."
Romney, the founder of Bain, who is over half a hundred years old, nodded when he heard the words and continued to flip through the magazine in his hand.
Five years ago, he decided to run for governor.
In order to pave the way for a longer-term future, he needed a 'microphone'.
Because only by getting your voice heard can you get more votes.
After investigation, behind the North American broadcasters, there are capital sides, but Turner, the founder of CNN, is a stubborn old man with no background.
Although the other party has cooperated with the North American military department, with the relationship and connections of Bain Capital, it is completely possible to transfer the cooperation through the transfer of interests.
The plan went well.
In '96, Bain Capital took over a number of small companies controlled by CNN.
In 97, taking advantage of the listing of North American Tower Company, which is particularly important to CNN's business, Bain Capital spent two years, with the help of its own financial institutions, while shorting and longing, and at the same time obtaining the majority shareholder seat by special means, and finally achieving a controlling stake.
In late '99, Romney tried to get in touch with CNN founder Turner.
After dozens of rounds of negotiations, Turner finally agreed to transfer CNN for $1.5 billion.
At this point, the whole plan is complete.
I happened to have an offshore company and wanted a large shell company.
Bain Capital, with investment, consulting, and mergers and acquisitions as its main business, must use the funds in hand flexibly.
The acquisition of CNN's subsidiary, North American Tower, and the stake in CNN's minority shareholders all took up a lot of money.
And to buy CNN, at least 1.5 billion US dollars will be prepared.
Romney looked at the financial statements of the North American Tower, although the assets are 800 million US dollars and the liabilities are 900 million US dollars, the income of the tower is a long-term project, and it will definitely be earned in three or five years, but unfortunately Bain Capital cannot afford to wait.
The offer was immediately made, with 100 million US dollars holding 35% of the shares, and 250 million US dollars could take over the public shares.
In addition, the sale of North American Tower Corporation can also pass on the matter of obtaining a major shareholder seat by special means.
After all, Bain Capital got CNN and relied on Turner's operation.
And the major shareholder who was killed at the beginning, as if he wrote the plot for TEP, is really Turner's nephew.
And then later.
TEP offshore company account remitted 150 million US dollars, Bain Capital delayed the delay, deducted 100 million US dollars, and transferred North American Tower Company, which had long been controlled by itself.
According to Romney's idea, the next step is to receive CNN.
I never expected that.
CNN's founder, Turner, secretly merged CNN into the world's largest media group 'Time Warner' and became a subsidiary of the latter, and Turner also became a vice chairman of Time Warner.
Immediately afterward, Turner approached him and said that he wanted to buy back the 'North American Tower Company'.
Romney couldn't get CNN, and he didn't want to offend CNN, especially since there was Time Warner behind the other party, so he immediately took out TEP's plan to acquire the North American Tower, and accidentally told the cause of his nephew's death.
Turner, a stubborn old man, was fooled unsurprisingly.
Unfortunately, Romney was afraid to provide valid evidence for fear of exposing himself.
So Turner arranged for CNN reporters to moss the North American Tower building.
North American Tower Company counterattacked on the spot, and Chairman James pinched CNN's broadcast signal in the name of lightning strikes, strong winds, heavy rain and other factors that damaged the signal tower and broadcast station.
The two sides have come to this point, and there will definitely be no way to end it.
"TEP, I'm sorry, I want to be governor."
………………
The information recorded by the Boston Police Department is certainly not that detailed.
But in North America, there is a profession called detective.
And, it's also a state-level detective.
Spies can't disguise non-ordinary units, but they can consult about the bloody case caused by the acquisition of the North American Tower.
Xu Fei got the relevant information after sorting it out, and summoned the military division group whose strength had increased after Principal Liu He left.
Everyone pondered this matter with a Chinese mind......
"Factory director, there are two plans now, one is to maximize your own interests, and the other is to completely get out of this quagmire."
"How to get out of the quagmire?"
"Ask the acquaintances in the Boston Police Department to immediately arrest Romney, the founder of Bain, and search for evidence that the other party killed Turner's nephew. Then, in the form of a notice, it was stated that TEP was only the entrusting party, and the inside story of the acquisition was not clear, and we were also a victim.
But in doing so, we still can't hold the North American Tower, because CNN still has a Time Warner behind it, and the other party will definitely take the tower project. In this kind of large-scale capital game, the Boston Police Department does not play much of a role, not to mention, we are only acquaintances with each other, not our own. ”
"It's probably going to be difficult to arrest Romney, and now that he's resigned, he can use the head of Bain Capital as a shield." Xu Fei thought for a while, "What about maximizing your own interests?" ”
"Black Hundred Eats."
"Huh?"
"According to the information provided by the Boston Police Department, Bain Capital's full name is Bain Consulting, which owns a number of absolute controlling properties, and I am afraid that even 'Time Warner' itself does not know that its Warner Records has been infiltrated by Bain.
In addition, Bain also controls a chain of restaurants called Burger King. and a chain of toy retail experience stores called Toys "R"Us. As for the other small companies that are controlled and the funds that help private people manage them, there are even more numerous. ”
"Tell me about the plan."
"Partnered with Bain to fight CNN and ask for certain benefits, such as taking over the Toys"R"Us retail store and expanding the North American market. If the other party doesn't agree, and we are attacked by CNN and Time Warner, it's a big deal to send guardian forces to destroy them directly, after all, our TEP is not bad. ”
“……”
Do you have more confidence than I do?
