The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 423: America's shamelessness, refreshing cognition
At Coast Building, Hawke received a call from the CFO, saying that all the financial compensation paid by BlackRock had been received.

He called a meeting of the company's management and asked Campos and Carlos, who represented the Butterfly Security Company, to attend the meeting.

The theme of the meeting was security and defense.

Hawke highlighted the potential impact of the Russian spy case.

Hawke is certain that the plane crash at the mouth of the Hudson River was not caused by his side, but no matter which side did it, Twitter cannot shirk responsibility.

Of course, it's also true that Hawke doesn't really care.

After all, Twitter had long been in Russia's sight, and he and Erica had discussed similar methods.

According to Hawke's guess, this was most likely done by Hillary.

Hillary has a good public image. In the eyes of the public, she is a peaceful, loving person who actively fights for women's rights.

In fact, this is a rotten crotch with a dark heart and even darker hands.

Hawke knew very well that when the BlackRock feast was divided up, the so-called alliance of interests would inevitably disintegrate.

There are no permanent alliances.

If Hillary Clinton dares to take direct action, she can not only let the Russians take the blame, but the Russians will continue to blame Twitter as always.

This rotten crotch is really a black-hearted old woman.

But Hawke was not a good person either, and he had already made some preparations against Hillary.

At the Sisters' Parade, after Fiona talked to Jennifer Siebel, someone followed Siebel and found out that this woman went to the computer city and bought a lot of equipment for recording and taking secret photos.

Hawke will start a new war if necessary.

Embassy Row, Washington, DC

In the square white embassy, ​​Yelena walked quickly through the corridor and entered a conference room where a man in a suit was sitting on a chair.

She asked, "Dalchi, what's the matter with the New York helicopter crash? I remember that many of your men used Georgia's identities."

Darci quickly explained: "It has nothing to do with us. It wasn't done by our people. This is another naked frame-up!"

Yelena, who had not been here long enough, said: "The shamelessness of the Americans has refreshed my understanding!"

Darci, however, is an old agent. He said, "They will do anything to achieve their desired goals."

Yelena did not jump to conclusions, but asked Darci, who was more experienced: "Who is more likely to do it?"

"According to recent media reports, all the forces involved in the split of BlackRock are likely to take action." Darci's analysis is relatively rational: "They took advantage of this opportunity to plunder a large amount of wealth from BlackRock. In order to prevent revenge from the two biggest victims, they are likely to take action in advance to resolve the hidden dangers."

Yelena asked, "The known forces include Hawke Osment's Twitter and foundation, his girlfriend Erica Ferguson's family, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch, and a foundation called Green Pine. What kind of organization is this?"

Darci has been following this case closely because it involves a spy case. He said, "According to the latest developments, according to undisclosed information, the shares that Green Pine purchased at a low price were donated to a charity foundation free of charge. The owner of that charity foundation is Silaree's younger brother."

Yelena shook her head. "Sure enough, the upper echelons of America are all a bunch of termites. They even resorted to such means."

Darci didn't know the inside story of the second Los Angeles spy case, but he knew the top leaders in the country were not much better. He was worried that the people above would mess around and not treat the front-line people as human beings. He reminded them, "This is an internal struggle in America. Apart from protesting and refuting through formal channels, it is best for us not to get involved. If there are external forces involved, they may unite against the outside world."

Yelena knew the true situation of the Los Angeles Second Spy Case. Orders, like laws, serve the ruling class. A careless order from the ruling class can ruin years of efforts.

This kind of thing was not something she could resolve or resist, so she could only say, "You should continue with the original plan, and don't act rashly. As for... the rest, it's not something we can decide."

Darchi was dejected. Some of the political oligarchs in Moscow were really capable, while others were bent on licking the boots of Europe and the United States.

Who knows what ridiculous actions the latter might take in order to lick the boots.

Yelena sighed and said, "I will suggest to the ambassador that we make the most solemn protest to the US side through formal channels regarding a series of events."

Darci nodded, but he still felt uneasy about the oligarch in the Tsar's Office in Moscow, because he could give orders directly to the intelligence department.

“If some orders are ridiculous, please fight them,” he said.

Yelena did not respond, because once the order was given, it had to be executed.

Darci understood, packed up his personal belongings, and left the meeting room.

Yelena returned to her office, wrote a written report on the matter, and submitted it to the ambassador that day.

A few days later, related news appeared in the media, and Russia issued the strongest protest to the White House over a series of events.

But no one cares. There are too many people protesting against America all over the world.

Americans are used to it, and the media will only report on it in the corners, which will not cause any waves at all.

Protests cannot change the outcome.

The FBI officially announced the results of its investigation into the plane crash at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, listing a large amount of ironclad evidence that formed a perfect chain of evidence and a closed logical loop. All the truth pointed to Russian spies.

The official notice has been given, it doesn’t matter whether you believe it or not.

Los Angeles, Coast Building. The first floor press room was crowded with journalists. Twitter also set up a live camera to broadcast live video and text to the entire network through its website and mobile phone app.

Hawke, representing Twitter, and Henry Paulson, representing Goldman Sachs, formally signed a financing agreement.

The two signed, exchanged contracts, and then stood together in front of the media cameras and shook hands.

There was warm applause.

This time it is not just about financing, but also about share expansion.

Goldman Sachs became the third largest shareholder, along with Peter Thiel's Long-Term Capital Management.

Twitter now has more than 7000 million active users and a total equity value of $425 billion. Goldman Sachs has raised a total of $50 billion to invest in Twitter.

After financing and expanding its shares, Twitter adopted a dual-class share structure of Class A and Class B. Class A enjoys normal dividend rights, but normal voting rights, while Class B enjoys additional voting rights in addition to the normal rights of Class A.

Goldman Sachs' equity is Class A.

Hawke still holds a 54% stake in Twitter and 76% of the voting rights.

Twitter remains under his control.

There was no interview environment arranged for the signing ceremony. After the contracts were exchanged, the ceremony officially ended.

Hawke invited Henry Paulson and Lord, who would replace him as CEO, to go to the 16th floor to meet with other shareholders and attend this year's shareholders' meeting.

Lord is a man who rose from the bottom of society, born in a poor community in Brooklyn.

According to him, he has not yet paid off his student loan.

That afternoon, Twitter held a shareholders' meeting in the large conference room on the 16th floor.

Hawke did not make any major moves like he did at the beginning of the year. In addition to promoting the company's normal development plan, he emphasized two aspects.

A major focus in the near future is the AI ​​Manhattan Project proposal, which will officially enter the voting process of the Congressional Budget Committee in October.

This concerns the vital interests of all shareholders, and the major shareholders present will do their utmost to promote this proposal.

Another is to continue to promote smartphone programs and seize the smartphone market.

Harland and Andy Rubin, two executives, will attend a global meeting of the Joint Trade Commission and the Federal Communications Commission next month to form a global smartphone programming alliance.

Twitter will officially launch the open source Android mobile phone system at the alliance's founding conference.

…………

Four Seasons Hotel, Beverly Hills.

Acting as a white glove, he helped Twitter reach a cooperation with the Zipperton couple behind the scenes. Nothing unexpected happened during the process, and Harvey Weinstein finally felt relieved.

In the hotel suite, Harvey took out his cell phone and prepared to make a call.

Hillary called and said she was going to Epstein's island to celebrate, and asked him to "invite" several stars from Hollywood.

Leonardo was also specifically mentioned.

Harvey had no choice but to call Leonardo, thinking that this guy had gained weight and was not as handsome as before. What was so special about him that made Hillary miss him so much?

As for celebrities, we have to invite some men and women, and they can't just be those unknown little celebrities.

Harvey made a list that included Oscar winners such as Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Charlize Theron, as well as famous male stars such as James Franco, Ben Affleck and Matt Damon.

Most of these people are actors around Miramax, only Charlize Theron is a little difficult to invite.

The other party winning the Oscar for Best Actress has nothing to do with him.

Harvey included her on the list, and the key still lies in Hilary.

This female boss invited Hawking to the island, and Hawking's remarks on the multiverse when Charlize Theron was competing for the award really helped the South African woman.

Hawking never forgot her.

Harvey knew very well that this famous figure in the physics world was studying more than just black holes in the universe.

When he goes there, he doesn't need to toast to the big guys like Hillary and others, he just needs to study another kind of black hole.

Harvey made calls one after another, and almost everyone responded.

As for Charlize Theron, he asked Matt Damon to put pressure on along with Ben Affleck and others.

After finishing all this, Harvey felt he should relax and find a woman to give him a massage.

He picked up a list of Miramax film projects that were in the works, which included a list of actors who had auditioned for key roles.

Although Harvey likes to fool around, he is more particular than many Hollywood bigwigs in one respect: he never flirts with both men and women and is only interested in women.

Scanning the list of actors auditioning for the leading female role, Harvey found a familiar name - Jennifer Siebel.

I think it happened once during a horror movie election.
