Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 894 "6" The US Election: A Political Shooting!
When Xiao Fu, representing Umbrella Property, contacted MySpace, Facebook panicked.

Zuckerberg also wants to pit his family's properties against Franklin's protective umbrella properties, hoping to reap the benefits.

As a result, he got slapped in the face by Xiao Fu.

"No, we can't wait any longer!"

“MySpace already has more users than us. If you add the Umbrella Corporation to the mix, Facebook will be finished.”

In the office,

Zuckerberg was getting impatient and paced back and forth irritably.

He originally planned to wait until the $50 provided by Guan Zu was spent, the scale expanded, and he could strive for a higher valuation before seeking Umbrella Property Investment.

Now that Umbrella Property has approached MySpace, he must act decisively.

"Book your flight immediately to the Umbrella Corporation headquarters in Los Angeles!"

Zuckerberg contacted Eduardo, who was interning at Lehman Brothers, while flying to Los Angeles.

……

……

the next day,
Zuckerberg arrived in Los Angeles and went straight to Umbrella Corporation to meet with Franklin D. Smith.

Franklin D. Smith was now in a very powerful position because Umbrella Corporation had developed so early that by the time the white people discovered it, Umbrella Corporation had grown so large that no one could challenge it.

Therefore, the equity of Umbrella Properties is highly concentrated.

Chairman Xiao Fu wields great power, which is quite different from Jimmy's situation.

Umbrella Corporation headquarters building in downtown Los Angeles.

Los Angeles has relatively few high-rise buildings; instead, it has large areas of low-rise houses scattered across vast plains.

The city center, however, is one of the few areas with high-rise buildings; from a distance, it appears as a raised area.

The Umbrella Corporation building is one of these high-rise buildings, named Wilshire Figueroa.

After Zuckerberg arrived at Umbrella Corporation's headquarters, he waited and waited...

one day……

Two days...

Three days...

There have been frequent reports of collaborations with MySpace.

MySpace is also actively sending signals by partnering with Umbrella Corporation.

Zuckerberg's expectations are getting lower and lower, and he's becoming more and more anxious.

On the fourth day,
Franklin finally had some free time and met with Zuckerberg.

"I only have three minutes..."

Franklin glanced at his watch and looked at Zuckerberg with amusement.

Zuckerberg swallowed hard. His Facebook was indeed far inferior to MySpace.

(Image: Why did MySpace lose to Facebook? It had many flaws.)
Zuckerberg had a flash of inspiration and said quickly, "Facebook already has a lot of equity. If you partner with MySpace, you won't get much equity because they already have investors."

"But we at Facebook are different; we still have a lot of equity!"

Xiao Fu smirked.

well.

This is exactly the effect that Brother Zu and he wanted!

15% equity, how can that be enough?
Especially when facing a greedy opponent like Zuckerberg.

How much equity can you offer?

"20%!"

"not enough!"

"A maximum of 25%, with anti-dilution rights, voting rights, and the option to retain it until later... and I also heard that I'm going to look for Happiness Property on the East Coast."

The two sides were arguing back and forth.

After three days of wrangling, the deal was finally closed at 26%.

So far,

Guan Zu now holds 26% + 12% of the shares.

Zuckerberg, however, thought that Kwan and Franklin were Republican and Democratic rivals, and even tried to sow discord and play some kind of power game.

Little did they know that the association, the referee, and the referee were all on their side!

In September,

The election for New York State Assembly members is currently underway.

Each member of parliament uses various means, such as speeches, advertisements, and the media, to promote their policy proposals and campaign platforms to voters in order to win their support.

By the way, legislators are divided into constituencies, just like legislators on Hong Kong Island are divided into various constituencies for election.

Meanwhile, Guan Zu, using Guan Wenlong's identity, also kept speaking out about various policy proposals in his constituency.

With his high system approval rating, terrifying charisma, and captivating speaking ability,

Wherever we went:
The gongs and drums were blaring, firecrackers were blaring, red flags were fluttering, and there were huge crowds.

Each speech:

The applause was thunderous, and the cheers were endless. Long live Mr. Guan!
This directly made the other candidates for parliament in this constituency question their existence.

I've become a complete clown!
but,

The largest event was undoubtedly the presidential election.

The whole country is paying attention.

Three televised debates will be held in October.

Little Albert and Broke, these two old rivals, are going to battle again after 4 years.

The first debate focused on the topic of foreign policy and national security.

Key focuses: the legitimacy and progress of the Iraq War, the effectiveness of counterterrorism strategies, and control of the situation in Afghanistan.

Albert Ebert emphasized that "the fight against terrorism must be proactive," calling Iraq a crucial battlefield in the war; while Bush criticized the Iraq War as a "wrong choice," arguing that the Ebert government neglected the organization and failed to develop a reasonable post-war plan. Performance: A draw.

After listening to the debate, Guan Zu said: "…………"

seemingly,

This was the same debate in my past life, but the two sides held completely opposite views.

Sure enough, these politicians only say what benefits them.

The second debate focused on the theme of domestic policy and people's livelihood. Key areas of focus included the effectiveness of economic recovery, employment, healthcare, and tax policy.

Albert Jr. emphasized that during his term, the economy recovered from the "Twin Towers incident," the unemployment rate fell, and the tax cuts he implemented benefited the middle class;
Bush countered that the economic recovery was "uneven," with no increase in income for the lower classes, and criticized the Albert Jr. government for cutting healthcare subsidies, which increased the healthcare burden on the public.

The two sides remain evenly matched.

The third debate will focus on leadership styles, education policies, energy strategies, and social issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.

As Albert continues saying, "I'm awesome," Bu Shi retorts, "You're not good enough."

……

In a flash,
It’s April 10th.

"Family Property" office building, boss's office.

At the doorway, Yin Yang sat at his table, idly playing with the goldfish in the fish tank.

Zu Ge said the fish tank is too small, and that he'll move to a bigger office and set up a large aquarium there.

Of course, a bodyguard's office should also be prepared for Yin Yang.

Yin and Yang are great!

During this period of time with Brother Zu, he felt that his vision and perspective had improved significantly.

The place near the inkpad is a rural area.

American capital can manipulate ink paste at will.

Coming to America is so much better!

They can manipulate American capital at will.

The sense of accomplishment is immense!

Brother Zu, you're awesome!!

“Tap tap tap~~~”

At this moment, a group of white men in suits came out of the elevator and, led by Guan Zu's (temporary) secretary, walked towards Guan Zu's office.

Leading the way was Thomas Rockefeller.

In the past month, the family's property expansion has been rapid.

Its coverage has expanded from 5 counties in New York to 12 counties, serving more than 60 residents.

Moreover, internal Republican research revealed that the approval rating was extremely high, comparable to the terrorist mobilization capabilities of Happy Property on the Democratic side.

Moreover, most of them are staff and areas of Siphon Happiness Property Management.

A decisive victory over Happy Property/Democrats.

Such an astonishing rate of development and popularity is like a nuclear bomb, attracting the attention of numerous investors.

Democratic capitalists are seething with hatred.

Republican capital is green with envy.

This model, which combines community service with potential political resources, has unlimited potential if deeply integrated, both in terms of expanding commercial interests and political influence.

The "Protective Umbrella Property Management" and "Happiness Property Management" are clear examples.

Although Thomas Rockefeller was only a collateral member of the Rockefeller family, an oil tycoon family, and could not inherit much wealth, he still made a name for himself in the New York financial circle through his own efforts. He controlled several small investment funds and was associated with some of the capital of powerful Republican families such as the Bush family.

This time, he saw that "Family Property" would become the third rapidly developing property company, so he came to Guan Zu to discuss investment matters.

Of course, he wasn't the only investor who came to Guan Zu to discuss cooperation during this period.

Push door.

Enter Guan Zu's office.

Thomas immediately spotted Kwan Cho (Kwan Man-lung) sitting behind his desk, signing documents.

Despite his young face, he exudes an aura far beyond that of his peers.

Rumor has it that Guan Wenlong was just an ordinary Republican before, but after his close friend Zhao Landi died, he suddenly transformed.

This has become a legendary story within the Republican Party.

(Zhao Landi's coffin lid: bang bang bang~~~~)

"Mr. Guan..."

“Mr. Thomas…”

The two shook hands politely.
Then came a round of pleasantries, talking about the rapid expansion of the family's properties, about Guan Zu's state assembly election, and so on...

at this time,

Ring ring ring~~~~~
Guan Zu's phone rang.

pick up.

"Boss, something just happened. Our Republican running mate's aide was shot and killed."

"???"

Guan Zu was stunned.

Wow, that's amazing!
The US presidential election is so simple and straightforward!

……

10 minutes ago,
Orem, Utah
The autumn sun warmed the lawn of the University of Utah Valley.

In the open-air plaza at the center of the campus, a temporary light gray stage was surrounded by a huge crowd. Students in the front row holding signs that read "American Revival" cheered from time to time, while those in the back row stood on tiptoe to look at the stage.

Chuck, a rising star of the conservative movement, sat in a white wicker chair in the center of the stage, wearing a simple white crew neck shirt.

"Mr. Chuck!"

A clear voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. It was a boy wearing black-rimmed glasses. He raised his arm and squeezed forward two steps.
"I want to ask, how many mass shootings have occurred in the United States in the past 10 years? You always talk about 'reviving America,' but you can't even guarantee campus safety, so how can you talk about revival? You confidently say that there is no need to ban guns, and that some sacrifices are normal..."

The audience fell silent for a moment after he said that.

Chuck put down his outline: "Mass shooting? Then I want to ask you first—does gang violence count or not? Street shootings in Brooklyn, New York, gang fights in Chicago's South Side—aren't those lives taken 'violent'? We…"

suddenly,

A sharp gunshot suddenly shattered the tranquility of the square.

"boom--!"

Chuck's body jolted, and he instinctively reached up to touch his neck.

"Ahhhh~~~"

"Murder!~~~~"

The crowd instantly exploded.
