The Wolf of Los Angeles.

In the office on the 16th floor of the Coast Building.

Hawke looked at the large screen on the wall, where the latest West Coast company ad on Twitter was playing.

Frank, a flamboyant old man in a floral shirt, drove a three-wheeled motorcycle through the crowds on Venice Beach.

Three female beach rescue team members wearing red bikinis sat in the back of the truck.

As the tricycle swayed, the three voluptuous bikini-clad women felt as if an earthquake had struck, causing the ground to shake violently.

It's quite like Alexandra Daddario running wildly during a major earthquake.

The tricycle was parked in the area closest to the beach, and three bikini-clad women jumped off the vehicle.

The process was exceptionally erotic.

There are also many vehicles parked here, including ice cream trucks, hot dog trucks, burrito trucks, and so on, with a large number of tourists buying things around each one.

At the end of the advertisement, a tricycle sign appeared.

This advertisement targets people from the lower and middle classes of society, first attracting attention with luxury cars and beautiful women, and then showing them its practical value.

Musk then called to formally begin discussions with Hawke about investing in SpaceX.

Hawke hung up the phone, considered for a moment, and then called Roger Keane, the director of the investment fund.

Whether it's acquiring satellite companies or investing in space exploration, the West Coast Investment Fund will handle the execution.

Roger Keane knew that Hawke valued investing in space exploration highly, and that Elon Musk was an exceptionally difficult person, so he said, "The negotiation team is ready, and I will personally lead the team to Houston to confront Musk's people."

Hawke knew very well that it would be very difficult to get enough voting rights from Musk, and said, "You know my requirements. This is the most difficult period for SpaceX. We will try to get it done this year."

Roger Keane replied, "Understood."

Hawke asked, "What's the situation with Surrey Satellite?"

"We have basically reached an agreement with the company's board of directors and the controlling shareholder, the University of Surrey." Roger Keane only returned to North America after the agreement was reached, and without even taking a break, he rushed to the investment battlefield in Houston: "I left Jones from my assistant team in the UK, and the external Seaman team is also there until the acquisition is completed."

Twitter and Hawke's foundation and company are not familiar with satellite manufacturing, an industry involving many high-tech aspects. Surrey Satellite also holds several satellite communication patents.

Many specialized tasks require the expertise of professionals.

Surrey Satellite is not publicly listed, and third-party institutions value it at £1.95 million. Its core asset is satellite patent technology.

Back in the 1990s, this company participated in the design and manufacturing of parts of the European Galileo satellite program and also collaborated with the University of Tokyo to manufacture communication satellites.

Hawke chose this company because of its ability to independently manufacture small and medium-sized satellite platforms and its proprietary communication technology.

Because Surrey Satellite Company lacks the capability to launch launch vehicles, its business volume is ultimately limited.

The British Empire's industrial capacity has declined faster than that of the United States in recent years. The last time it independently launched a carrier rocket was in the 1970s. After a series of launch failures, it simply stopped developing its own carrier rockets.

It is no exaggeration to say that the former world superpower has lost the ability to independently develop launch vehicles.

Great Britain has collapsed.

As night fell, a dozen paparazzi gathered in front of the Viper Bar.

A Cadillac drove up from a distance and gradually approached the bar.

When the paparazzi saw the license plate and the open space in front of the bar, all eight of them immediately lay down.

Also standing guard on one side of the door were Larrea and Eliel, the Flower Butterfly.

The latter deliberately asked, "Aren't you going to lie down?"

Larrea shrugged: "What's the point if they're both wearing underwear?"

Elijah said, "That's not necessarily true. These female celebrities will do anything to gain attention and exposure."

There are so many people like this. Larea has seen it in the media: Janet Jackson's Super Bowl incident, Scarlett Johansson being pinched on the Oscars red carpet.

The latter may seem passive, but given Hollywood's practices, it's not impossible that the two parties communicated beforehand.

The Cadillac then stopped in front of the bar, the right rear door opened, and the flashlights immediately went off, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

Inside the car, a blonde woman and a red-haired woman simultaneously raised their hands to cover their eyes.

But the moment they started driving, they saw the paparazzi lying on the ground.

Both of them were wearing short skirts, and if they stepped out of the car, they would inevitably expose themselves.

The paparazzi's cameras all turned in that direction.

Britney and Lindsay Lohan seemed oblivious as they got up and got out of the car.

Inevitably, she was exposed.

Two of the paparazzi, because of their good angle, even managed to capture a reddish-brown color when Lindsay Los Angeles got out of the car!
"We're rich! We're rich!" A paparazzi laughed, snapping photos repeatedly. "She's got no bottom line! This photo can sell for ten times the price!"

The paparazzi at the scene were in an uproar.

Lindsay got out of the car, took Britney's hand, and strolled into the Viper Bar.

The two went into a booth and ordered a bunch of drinks.

Britney poured herself a glass, downed it in one gulp, and complained, "Every time Jopalis comes out, she makes up an excuse about something."

Lindsay knew what was going on, but although she wasn't the brightest, she wasn't about to self-destruct. She said, "Paris isn't just a billionaire's daughter anymore; she's a real billionaire now and doesn't want to hang out with us."

Britney Spears has earned hundreds of millions since her debut.

However, she first encountered an awful father, then had two whirlwind marriages and divorces, and coupled with her extravagant lifestyle, she was considered poor among female celebrities of the same caliber.

Britney poured Lindsay a drink and said, "Lu wants to invite Paris to the party, but I can't get her to come. Why don't you give it a try?"

Lindsay was slightly better than Britney, and asked, "Why would she participate?"

“The three of us sisters should share our happy moments together.” In Britney’s mind, helping Lou Pucci drug Paris was no big deal.

She picked up her glass again and said, "Do you think it's great to have a bunch of men fawning over us at a party?"

In this regard, Lindsay and Britney have the same idea, and she said with a laugh, "It's heavenly."

Britney said matter-of-factly, "Paris is our best friend, shouldn't we invite her to share this happy occasion?"

Upon hearing this, Lindsay initially thought there was some truth to it, but then she reconsidered and realized it wasn't quite right.

But she couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, so she could only say, "It's not right to go against Paris's wishes in this kind of thing."

Britney immediately used a ready-made example: "You joined the party after drinking the wine I prepared for Paris, and now you're having a blast. Paris is more flamboyant than both of us combined..."

Thinking of the group's happiness, Lindsay said, "It's too chaotic here. I'll try making a call tomorrow."

Britney said excitedly, "Lu will be here in a bit. How about the two of us take him on tonight!"

Lindsay laughed and said, "Great idea!"

Outside the bar, although some paparazzi had taken some juicy photos and left early, others remained at the entrance, waiting to photograph the two promiscuous women emerging drunk and behaving in an unseemly manner.

With the roar of its engine, an Aston Martin pulled up in front of the bar.

A short, white man got out of the car. Paparazzi swarmed around him, snapping photos incessantly.

"Lou Pucci is here," Eliel said.

“Britney and he have had two public spats in the past month.” Larrea is the head of the team monitoring Britney. “They broke up twice, and then got back together with unexpected speed.”

Elijah stated directly, "Britney is the woman I've met since I came to Los Angeles who has an exceptionally outstanding single talent, yet is also the least intelligent."

Larea said, "We've tried to stop her once, but it still didn't stop her from doing something stupid."

Lou Pucci went into the bar.

Eliel glanced at his watch: "Wait a minute, our people have planted a bug inside, we'll have news soon."

Lindsay and Britney only go to a few specific nightclubs, and they've already sent people in to work as waiters.

Not long after, Larrea's phone rang. He took it out, glanced at it, and said, "Important news."

Elie followed him into an old minivan.

Two people were sitting in the enclosed back seat of the car, one of whom was wearing headphones.

The person not wearing a headset said to Larrea, "I just overheard that Britney is trying to persuade Lindsay Lohan to continue drugging Paris Hilton."

Eliel frowned: "Are all these brain-dead women insane? Isn't she afraid of retaliation from the Hilton family?"

Larea chimed in, "Don't forget the videotape incident we got our hands on and then suppressed. The Hilton family doesn't really care about Paris Hilton. Given her terrible reputation, perhaps the Hilton family doesn't care either."

Eliel said, "Report it, and the higher-ups will handle it."

Larrea copied the recording and sent it directly to Campos via Twitter's internal encrypted email address.

More than an hour later, Lou Pucci, Britney Spears, and Lindsay Lohan left the bar together and drove into Britney's villa in Beverly Hills.

Someone came to the nearby surveillance point to change shifts. Just as Larrea and Eliel were about to leave, they heard the observer with binoculars set up at the hidden point say, "Two cars entered Britney's villa, and it looks like they were full of men."

Everyone was speechless, but upon reflection, it wasn't surprising.

Hollywood male tycoons play with women, and female tycoons can naturally play with men too.

If we're really talking about star power and sheer income, Britney Spears can be considered a major figure in the pop music scene.

The next morning, Hawke received the news and called Paris, briefly explaining the situation and reminding her, "You'd better hire a few bodyguards."

With a more mature mindset, Paris sighed softly: "I will keep in touch with them, but I won't meet with them."

She couldn't handle a dozen or so Black people.

Paris only now realizes that she is at best a socialite, far inferior to a woman who truly makes it in Hollywood.

Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan, in particular, were both child stars.

Paris, being in high society, had heard all sorts of stories. She used to think they were all made up, but after working hard and building her own career in recent years, she felt that those fantastical things might actually be true.

Thinking about this, she suddenly realized the value of people like Hawke.

When the two first met, Hawke was willing to do anything as long as the money was right. He also used her reputation and family resources to build a business that was truly her own.

Once the two have developed a real relationship, Hawke will remind her of any issues that arise.

Paris had an epiphany: if she didn't make allies with this kind of person, should she make allies with Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan?
This wealthy heiress has finally adopted the same style of doing things as her parents and grandparents.

…………

Paris France.

Huma Abedin’s Indian husband, Wenner, arrived at the headquarters of the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Company (EADS) in a Versailles limousine from the hotel.

This aerospace company, second only to Boeing, was established with the combined resources of the entire European Union, and Airbus is one of its subsidiaries.

Because of Abedin, Wenner joined a strategic consulting firm that leaned towards the Donald Party.

Like all people of Indian descent, Indians should help Indians, especially since Wenna is Abedin's husband.

Abedin has assigned Wenner to one of the latest major lobbying tasks from Sillari's side.

The European Aeronautical and Defence Group (EADS) has two headquarters, just as the two giants of the European Union are France and Germany, with their headquarters located in Paris and Munich respectively.

Wenner came here because a fellow countryman was working as an assistant to a top figure.

Upon arriving at the front desk, Wenner mentioned Widi's name, and the front desk made a phone call to have someone escort him upstairs.

Upon reaching the second-to-last floor and stepping out of the elevator, Wenner saw Vidy waiting in the elevator lobby and quickly went up to shake his hand: "Thank you for your help this time."

“Helping each other is only right,” Vidy said politely, leading the way. “Mr. Gavallo is waiting for you.”

He led the person into a spacious reception room.

Louis Gavallois is a senior executive member of the group's executive committee. While his power is less than that of the two chairmen and executive officers of the executive committees from Germany and France, he is still among the top ten.

One of the main reasons Ken met with Wenner was that he represented a prominent figure in America.

After a few pleasantries, Wenner got straight to the point: "I've come here with Ms. Sillaly's enthusiastic advice."

Within NATO, although France and the United States have many conflicting interests, which French high-ranking figure could ignore the possibility of a US president? Gavallo showed great respect: "Mr. Wenner, please speak freely."

Wenner, an Indian, is particularly good at making grand promises and talking a good game. He said, "Airbus products have encountered a lot of unfair treatment in the environmental approval process in North America. Ms. Sillali advocates free trade and believes that Airbus is no worse than Boeing. The two should compete healthily in North America, which is more conducive to market development."

Gavalo does not trust the Americans, especially American politicians, a bunch of shameless scoundrels who talk big.

He cut to the chase: "Ms. Sillari must need Airbus to do something for her to do this, right?"

Wenner said with a smile, "Acquiring the core patents of Surrey Satellite in the name of the European Aerospace Corporation."

Gavalo, who had been in the business for decades, frowned and asked, "That little British satellite company? Their technology, ha... a bunch of useless junk that can't even launch a carrier rocket."

Wenner ignored the daily anti-British remarks and said, "Surrey Satellite once provided key satellite communication technology for the Galileo satellite system."

He emphasized, "To this day, you still have to pay a patent fee to Surrey Satellite every year."

Gavalo glanced at his assistant, Widi, who quickly went to check.

Not long after, Widdie returned and said, "The Galileo system does indeed use several satellite communication technologies, and it uses patents from Surrey Satellite Corporation."

He continued, "Surrey also has two very professional teams of satellite and communications engineers, which is something you lack."

Although he disliked the British, Gavalo still took it seriously from a practical standpoint. He looked at Wenner and asked, "You came prepared, but why did you do that?"

The specific reason was readily available to the other party, and Wenner had no need to conceal it: "The investment fund under Twitter founder Hawke Osment is in talks with Surrey Satellite regarding a potential acquisition."

He heard from Abedin that a group of people Sirali had overseas were suddenly killed in Costa Rica.

The West Coast Foundation's acquisition talks with Surrey Satellite Corporation had been conducted in secret until the major shareholder, the University of Surrey, finally made the news leak out.

Recent news from SpaceX indicates that Hawke Osment's agency team has arrived in Houston to discuss investment matters with Elon Musk.

Satellites plus launch vehicles—that's a strategic level.

Now that we've received the information, we definitely need to find a way to sabotage it. (End of Chapter)
