Chapter 474 "473" Umbrella's post-war harvest, Squid Capital is here!
"Reward 5: "Ultraman Glasses" *3..."

When Guan Zu saw this, he exclaimed, "Wow!"

Xiaofu already has a pair of glasses, and together with Abu, Li Jie, Wang Jianjun... they make a total of 4 people.

what is this?
Killer group?
"Reward 6: "English Learning Cards"*20, "Energy Cards"*20..."

Good stuff, useful.

"Reward 7: "Speech Talent Card" *2..."

Guan Zu used one without saying a word, and then gave Xiao Fu a card later.

"Reward 8: 1 "Captain America Version Black Chevrolet"..."

"Reward 9: "Black Chevrolet Repair Card" *2..."

……

……

Chinatown,
Early in the morning,

The sun shines on San Francisco, and Chinatown is bustling again.

However, there were still a lot of bullet holes, burn marks, and blood that had not been completely washed away on the ground...

Guan Zu woke up and called Ruan Mei in Hong Kong Island.

"It's okay. Chinatown is very safe now."

"Don't worry. I'm so scared of death that there's no way I'd rush out to fight with them. I wouldn't even have time to run away..."

"I'll be back in two days!"

Guan Zu comforted the worried Ruan Mei.

Afterwards, Fang Ting, Yue Huizhen, Gao Jin, Huang Bingyao and others called one after another to inquire about the situation.

Guan Zu finished the call,

The TV in the lobby is playing the news:

"Hello, audience friends!"

"Since the outbreak of the Los Angeles riots yesterday, the situation in Los Angeles has continued to deteriorate. At 0:15 a.m., Mayor Bradley urgently signed an order to impose a curfew in the areas most affected by the riots."

"But tens of thousands of people still ignored the ban and frantically participated in looting in places like Hancheng and Hollywood in south-central Los Angeles. The scene in Hancheng was particularly tragic, with shops smashed, goods looted, and the streets in a mess."

"Although nearly 2000 National Guard soldiers are on duty at regional armories, they have never been deployed to the front lines to maintain order..."

"The situation in Hancheng has deteriorated dramatically. The thugs have been attacking Korean shops and homes like a tide. The two sides are in fierce confrontation, with gunshots and shouts interweaving... A large number of shops have been ruthlessly looted, and more buildings have been engulfed in flames."

"The above is the riots in Los Angeles..."

then,

The news turned...

“And the same scene happened in San Francisco.”

"At 0: last night, about to African Americans and Latinos appeared on the outskirts of Chinatown and attacked Chinatown..."

Camera scene - burning car...

Camera scene: looting, smashing...

Camera scene - grabbing things and reveling...

Camera footage shows streets filled with thick smoke, African Americans and Latinos reveling...

The crazy behavior of these thugs was broadcast for three minutes.

It fully demonstrated the cruelty, chaos and evil deeds of these thugs.

There were also a few reports afterwards that the Chinese Guards fought back and drove the thugs out of Chinatown...

There were relatively few reports on this part, and there were even fewer shots of the black and Latin people who suffered heavy casualties on the ground.

"In addition to San Francisco's Chinatown, many wealthy areas have also been looted by thugs..."

"Pacific Heights, Union Square... and other places... have all been..."

"At present, the riot situation in Los Angeles is still serious. At the same time, the riots have spread to all parts of California and even some cities on the East Coast..."

"We, KTVU TV, will continue to follow the development of the incident and bring you the latest reports..."

After Guan Zu washed up, he called Gong Wei and went downstairs to have breakfast.

Not far downstairs,
A tea restaurant.

Guan Zu and Gong Wei ordered some snacks and started eating.

Not long after, Xiaofu, Li Jie, Abu, Wang Jianjun and others walked in with Nezha eyes.

"Brother Zu..."

"Come on, have some breakfast..."

After the gunfight yesterday, Guan Zu was able to sleep, but Xiao Fu and the others didn’t.

The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!
Now is the time to harvest your catch!

Xiao Fu was busy communicating with the San Francisco police, and then organized people to clean the ground, drag away the bodies, and throw out the injured thugs...

Of course, the most important thing is: post-war condolences!
Xiaofu wants to take root here and run for city councilor, state legislator, governor...so the mass base is very important.

He personally led people to visit the shop owners to express his condolences. If time was not limited, he would have visited every household to express his condolences...

Go deep into the masses!

The night passed.

The Umbrella Corporation has officially established a lofty status in the entire Chinatown and San Francisco Chinese community.

"Thanks for your hard work!"

Guan Zu threw 20 "English Learning Cards" and 1 "Speech Talent Card" to Xiao Fu, and then distributed the Energy Cards equally to everyone.

Dark circles?
Don't be afraid!
I have energy cards, cows and horses, get moving!

quickly,

Breakfast and snacks were served one after another.

The boss even came over to express his gratitude, saying thank you to the Umbrella Company for protecting Chinatown and their store last night, and said that he would give Xiaofu and his friends free bills in the future.

However, Xiaofu has followed Guan Zu for so long and has learned a lot.

The bill is free today, do you want it free in the future?
And my subordinates, do you want to give them a free meal as well?
So, I refused the free gift and let the boss continue to maintain this gratitude and favor.

The boss, the waiter, the diners around... everyone was moved.

“Umbrella Corporation is great.”

"It would be hilarious if the Huaqing Gang and the Triads didn't collect protection fees from us."

"There's no comparison~~~"

"Shh~~ You're asking for your life, how dare you mention the Huaqing Gang and the Triads!"

On Guan Zu's side, a table of people were eating and chatting.

"Last night, an African-American gang went to the wealthy area. I heard they burned down several villas and stole a lot of things..."

"Ah? Didn't the San Francisco police go to the white gentleman to protect him?"

"It seems not. I heard that the police were tricked by those Latinos. Those gangs said they were going to Chinatown, so the police station didn't move. Unexpectedly, a part of an African-American gang suddenly broke off and ran to the rich area..."

"Awesome! He actually still has a brain!"

“Is the loss heavy?”

"I heard that eight or nine white-skinned masters died... and some valuable shops were robbed. The losses were not small..."

Everyone is happy.

"What are the losses in Japantown and the Korean-populated areas?"

"There was nothing wrong with the Japanese town, but the Korean area was relatively close to the chaotic African and Latino areas, so it was hit hard and suffered heavy losses. More than 400 stores were smashed and looted, and some were burned down..."

“However, the Koreans fought back quickly and pushed back the thugs.”

Why is the Korean area close to the chaotic area?
Because the Korean immigration history is closer to modern times, they were relatively poor when they moved here, and then they looked for places with lower rents, which were next to the chaotic areas where African Americans and Latinos lived.

This resulted in them being the first to be attacked by the mob.

And there is another reason. In Los Angeles, there was originally a conflict between whites and blacks. But because a Korean store owner killed an African-American female thief, Koreans became an outlet for Africans to vent their anger and helped whites take the blame.

The same situation is happening in San Francisco.

Xiao Fu: "Because the white man suffered heavy losses, the San Francisco police are angry. I guess African Americans and Latinos are going to be in trouble this time."

"They suffered heavy losses yesterday. With the police action, their strength will be reduced by at least half in the next six months."

"but……"

"We are the ones who gain the most!"

Xiao Fu said happily: "Before, those black, Latin, and white people thought that Chinese people were weak and easy to bully, but after what happened tonight... they dare not underestimate them anymore."

"It will definitely be much more convenient to do things in the future."

"And our Umbrella Company has gained the respect of a large number of Chinese people." Guan Zu nodded.

Fists are power.

During the Los Angeles riots, Korean Americans fought bravely and inflicted heavy losses on the rioters, earning them the nickname "Koreans on the Rooftop" and gaining the respect of Americans.

Of course, Hancheng in Los Angeles also suffered heavy losses. More than 2300 shops in Hancheng were smashed, looted and burned... It was the city that suffered the most losses in the entire Los Angeles riots.

and many more……

its not right!
Why did the losses suffer so heavy if the Simidas were so powerful?

“Besides, we have a big bonus.”

Xiaofu's face was full of smiles,

"This time, Brother Zu arranged for us to make arrangements in advance, and successfully obtained a large amount of precious video and photo materials from the chaos in Los Angeles..."

"The ratings of our KTVU station have risen from 8th in California to 4th."

"The first three are all giant TV stations: KABC-TV (ABC American Broadcasting Company), KCBS-TV (CBS Columbia Broadcasting Company), and KNBC-TV (NBC National Broadcasting Company)."

"That is to say, we are the TV station with the highest ratings among the giants!"

"And with the videos and photos we have, it's enough to generate viewership for a month."

In a word!

What a win!
I got fat!
……

……

at this time,

Here in Los Angeles, the Triad headquarters.

Gu Xinghua received a call from Benny in Chinatown. ("Lethal Weapon 4"·Li Nianjie)

"Last night, the Umbrella Company successfully organized the Chinese in Chinatown and ambushed the gangsters, causing them to suffer heavy losses and flee in defeat?"

Benny: "Yes, now the whole Chinatown is praising the Umbrella Company... Boss, this Umbrella Company feels like a threat to us... They are so good at inciting people, and now many Chinese are beginning to be grateful to this Umbrella Company."

"We can't just sit back and watch them grow stronger!"

Benny is an old man who has no physical strength, the only thing that is strong is his brain.

He has seen so much.

In particular, one can tell from the accent of this Xiao Fu that he is from China.

Gu Xinghua also began to become a little alert.

It was fun to collect money in the beginning, but now seeing that the Umbrella Corporation has captured the hearts of the Chinese people, Gu Xinghua feels a sense of crisis.

"Ok."

"Please pay more attention to their actions in the future."

"Right now, I need to focus most of my attention on Los Angeles."

Now a large number of African Americans and Latinos are rushing into Koreatown, and there are also a small number of African Americans and Latinos rushing into Chinatown...

Whether it is Hancheng or Chinatown, a wave of bankruptcies will come.

The triads can gain more benefits from it: annexing property rights, lending at high interest rates, forcing women of good families into prostitution, selling drugs, human trafficking...

This is a big business worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Umbrella Corporation has not been able to divert his attention.

Benny was firm: "Don't worry, boss, I will keep an eye on the Umbrella Property Company!"

……

……

Los Angeles, Chinese Youth Gang.

At this time, the old fox Sun Chu also learned about what the Umbrella Corporation had done from his trusted subordinate Long Kai in San Francisco.

"Win the hearts of the people?"

Sun Chu sneered.

"What does this Umbrella Corporation want to do?"

"Do you think the Chinese can really be grateful? They are all selfish and greedy. They underestimate the selfishness of human nature."

When Sun Chu came to Los Angeles with his father when he was a child, he had experienced being backstabbed by an old Chinese man. He knew what life was like for the Chinese at the bottom of society here.

"I don't have time to pay attention to them now. Los Angeles is the most important thing."

"Keep an eye on them first!"

"After we have sorted out the situation in Los Angeles, we will deal with the Umbrella Corporation."

Sun Chu warned Long Kai.

Long Kai: "Okay, boss."

……

……

a new day,
That was the third day of the riot.

A force of more than 1.3 people, including the Marines, the National Guard and the FBI, finally arrived at the scene.

Start working~~~
Finally, with the efforts of many parties, the largest riot in the United States since World War II was finally quelled.

During the unrest, there were approximately 3600 arson incidents throughout the city of Los Angeles, more than 3000 buildings were burned or destroyed, and estimated property losses exceeded $10 billion.

More than 2300 Korean stores were damaged or burned, with total losses exceeding US$4 million.

Nearly 2 people were arrested, twice as many as those who caused riots.

Authentic West Coast style!

thumbs up!
Many news reports analyzed that the riot was essentially a conflict between blacks and whites, but because an African-American girl was shot and killed by a Korean store manager, the Koreans took the knife for the white man.

After this incident, the conflict between Korean and African Americans has become irreconcilable.

Against the backdrop of Los Angeles, riots in other parts of the United States, including those in San Francisco, have been ignored by many media outlets.

……

……

As for Guan Zu,
Umbrella Corporation is digesting its post-war profits and cannot intervene in Los Angeles for the time being.

and,

Umbrella Corporation's deployment was steady and cautious - first San Francisco, then the San Francisco Bay Area, and then expanded to Los Angeles.

And just when Guan Zu was about to leave...

"Brother Zu, someone wants to buy our KTVU TV station."

"The offer is $8300 million!"

Xiao Fu's report interrupted Guan Zu's return trip to Hong Kong.

Guan Zu was surprised: "Don't they know that we have already spent 8000 million US dollars to acquire the TV station?"

Xiao Fu: “So the other party added 300 million US dollars.”

Guan Zu understood.

What else do you want with 300 million US dollars?

It’s already a lot, okay!

Guan Zu: "Who wants to buy it?"

Xiao Fu: "It's Fox Broadcasting Company."

Guan Zu suddenly realized.

The world line is closed.

Originally, KTVU TV station was acquired by Fox Broadcasting Company.

Here we are talking about one of the world's top media tycoons - Murdoch.

An English-Australian, Murdoch bought the 1985th Century Fox film company and a number of television stations in 20. In 1986, he bought six television stations from the international media group Metromedia and founded Fox Broadcasting Company.

As for his camp, there are many different opinions in later generations.

It is generally acknowledged that although Murdoch himself is not a squid, many of his senior assistants and consultants are squids, and he has extensive business interests in squids. His media have supported the squids' stance in some events. For example, on the Bayou issue, Murdoch's media supported the squids to a certain extent, which was considered to be a response to the squid consortium and squid media bosses behind him.

And why was it discovered by Fox in advance?

It may be because in recent days, KTVU TV station has performed outstandingly in reporting the Los Angeles riots and has become one of the best TV stations in the United States.

Then he caught Merck's eye.

Guan Zu thought for a moment and instructed, “The TV station is not for sale, but you can contact them and get to know them.”

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle!
Xiao Fu nodded: "Yes!"
