The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 571 Good brothers will stab each other in the back in the dark.

The latest hot news on the internet has been dominated by two tech giants, Musk and Zuckerberg, whose provocative remarks have filled the public eye.

Twitter became the battleground for both sides to declare war.

Musk filmed a video of himself training in boxing, posted it on Twitter, and tagged Zuckerberg.

"Pimp, dare to have a cage fight?"

Zuckerberg responded forcefully, producing his California Jiu-Jitsu Championship certificate along with a caption.

"You promised to call, so send me your address!"

The two seemed to have made a pact to post a provocative video on Twitter every few days.

Musk keeps stirring things up on social media platforms like Twitter, pulling off all sorts of outrageous moves.

For example, he demonstrated his self-created "walrus-style" move, which allows him to lie on top of his opponent and use his weight advantage to subdue them.

Twitter has issued an official statement saying that if the two individuals wish, Twitter can broadcast the event live to the entire internet, and all proceeds generated during the broadcast will be donated.

In Las Vegas, several companies have also indicated their willingness to offer betting odds on a fight between the two.

Whether a fight actually broke out or not, the incident quickly escalated into a massive online frenzy.

The two individuals, representing Tesla and Sugar Baby respectively, were also compared, consistently making headlines in the media.

Netizens are talking about it with great interest, continuing to discuss it on Twitter and other online media, and the popularity remains high.

“The latest development is that Zuckerberg has organized 50 top cheerleaders,” Roger Keane said to Hawke, sitting on the office sofa. “They rehearsed the cheerleading formations and moves, and the response has been reportedly overwhelming.”

Hawke asked, "What about the venue? Have they confirmed it?"

Roger Keane, who has been following the drama closely, said, "It's tentatively set in Las Vegas, but many people are saying they won't fight. These two are clearly just creating hype."

The bad idea was originally Hawke's, and he said, "It doesn't matter whether we fight or not, we already have the traffic."

Roger Keane assessed that "the publicity generated by this fight is equivalent to a billion dollars in advertising."

Whether it's Tesla or Sugarball, Hawke is a major shareholder.

This is also the main reason why Ken gives advice.

He then got to the important matter of the day: "How is the plan for the international school in India progressing?"

“The plans are already in place,” Roger Keane said quickly. “The expansion and renovation plan for Inglewood International School can be adapted for use at the Indian International School with just a few modifications. The plan has already been sent to Anil, and he is quite satisfied with it.”

The day after the party, Hawke accompanied Anil on a tour of Inglewood International School, where they witnessed the facilities and faculty of a top-tier private secondary school.

This was the last peak of America's beacon era, but its appeal to the world remains enormous.

After all, it is the world's only superpower.

A dozen minutes later, Anil arrived at the Coast Building and met with Hawke.

Hawke opened the largest and most luxurious reception room on the sixteenth floor to receive the distinguished Indian guests.

The film investment plan is only one billion dollars, while the international school plan could involve investments of several billion dollars.

Hawke is showing respect to billions.

As soon as Anil saw Hawke, he shook hands with him warmly and laughed heartily: "I went to Inglewood International School again these past few days, listened to the teachers' lectures, and also communicated with many students from Latin America and Africa. The school's teaching model for international students can be completely copied into Indian international schools."

“So my foundation has a wealth of experience in this area.” Hawke laughed as well: “In the process of expanding and completely renovating Inglewood International School, we actually took a lot of detours, but that can help those who come after us avoid these troubles.”

If it were just an empty plan, Anil might have developed some ideas after the initial excitement wore off, but the real international school in Englewood showed him a world-class educational standard.

The school has a large number of Latino students, whose level of education far exceeds that of Indian students of the same age.

Anil said, "In our plan, we will build international schools in several cities, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Arlington, which is close to Washington, D.C. We will definitely enroll a large number of Indian students. After I return to India, I will organize some Indian parents to come and visit."

Hawke appeared both generous and magnanimous, saying, "You can come anytime. I will send someone to receive you."

What Anil wanted to bring was not the so-called students' parents, but the Indian fundraisers he needed.

As one of India's richest second-generation heirs, Anil may lack ability, but he certainly has vision. Inglewood International School will surely attract India's high-income earners and young millionaires.

Hawke asked, "When are you going back to India?"

Anil said with a smile, "After signing the agreement tomorrow, I'll go back to Mumbai. Give me three months to raise the funds. You know, mobilizing billions of dollars in cash flow is no easy task."

Hawke shook his hand: "I'll be waiting for your good news."

He didn't know if Anil was going back to get a loan or to raise funds, as long as he could get the Indians' money over.

Anil went downstairs, got into a large Land Rover, and had the driver take him.

His assistant, who had been loyal for many years, said, "Isn't this investment amount a bit too high? It will drain our cash flow."

Anil had to consider this. Now that the cooperation was basically finalized, he simply said, "We'll take the signed contract back to India to raise funds. Hawke's West Coast Technology is cooperating with several Indian companies and is also preparing to invest in India. These are all bargaining chips for cooperation."

The assistant immediately said, "Boss is wise; he has considered things more thoroughly than I have."

Anil said, “Go back and build on the West Coast plan, and work on the publicity strategy. India has always considered Britain and the United States as its top destinations for going abroad, and there will be many people investing in their children’s education.”

“I’ve already selected one of our elite teams.” The assistant, who also had children, hesitated for a moment before asking, “Boss, could you give me a few spots?”

Anil laughed and replied, "Is ten enough?"

The assistant feigned surprise: "That's enough! That's great!"

Anil casually waved his hand, his mind preoccupied with how to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune off the Indians.

He told his assistant, "We can charter a plane and organize interested parties to visit and inspect Los Angeles in person."

At the Coast Building, Hawke had already called over Roger Keane, who was in charge of the matter.

He asked, "Have you communicated with the Los Angeles authorities?"

The current mayor of Los Angeles is an ally, and he also holds a majority in the city council.

Roger Keane's work is much more convenient now: "The city hall has prepared four plots of land in different locations, the best of which is in West Los Angeles."

Hawke thought for a moment: "We need to find a way to acquire the land in West Los Angeles, make it look like we're going to build it, and give investors more confidence."

Roger Keane replied, "I'll contact the mayor's office."

Hawke added, “Set up a dedicated company to handle this.” Roger Keane understood the significance: “I’ll take care of it.”

After he left, Hawke called Sasha from the press department.

Before leaving get off work in the afternoon, he had Roger Keane make a special contact with Anil.

The next day, before Anil boarded the plane, his assistant brought him a newspaper and said, "Boss, look at this news."

This is a copy of the Los Angeles Times. On the page that appears, the assistant to the mayor of Los Angeles discusses education issues, stating that a piece of land in West Los Angeles will be designated for school construction.

Anil put down his newspaper and said, "Is this the efficiency of the world's number one power? It's much better than India's sluggishness."

The land for the Los Angeles International School is no longer an issue.

As the private jet took off, Anil suddenly thought of his brother Mukesh.

His father trusted Mukesh more until his death, and even left him most of the family fortune.

More than money, Anil wanted to prove to the world that he was better than Mukesh.

He even thought further ahead: if he could cultivate a large number of elites through international schools, he could recruit them for his own use.

Those who excel among them may rise to high positions in the future, and they can also become a valuable asset.

Back in India, Anil launched a large-scale publicity campaign, chartering two Boeing passenger planes to send nearly 400 Indian investors to Los Angeles for on-site inspections.

The Englewood International School, along with the land in West Los Angeles acquired by the newly formed company, made most people think the deal was worthwhile.

Anil has also signed an investment agreement, and the first tranche of $2.5 million will arrive soon.

When he returned to India with his team, although more than a hundred people did not participate in the financing out of caution, more than three hundred people planned to give it a try.

On the one hand, Anil is one of the country's top billionaires.

On the other hand, the US partner, the West Coast Foundation, is the holding company of West Coast Technology, which has extensive trade ties with India and is currently negotiating investment projects worth over ten billion US dollars with the Indian authorities.

The sum of these two is not greater than two, but greater than three.

For wealthy Indians who are currently spending lavishly on shopping sprees, setting aside funds to invest in their children's education is nothing unusual.

It is common knowledge that there is a disease that only the poor get.

Glendale, California.

At a hotel not far from DreamWorks, Mukesh Ambani had just welcomed Spielberg, who had come to visit.

The latter came over this time and talked to him about investing in movies.

Spielberg's "War Horse," funded by Indian capital, is very likely to go head-to-head with Erik Ethan's "Sugar Baby" at future award ceremonies.

The latter's main investor was Mukesh's close brother, Anil.

Mukesh flicked the yarn off his jacket and said, "I already knew about these things. He's been doing a huge propaganda campaign in India, making it known to everyone in Mumbai."

This younger brother has always competed with him since he was little, fighting with him, and making a huge fuss when he lost, wanting the whole world to know.

Mukesh dislikes him a lot, and in recent years he has said: "Don't worry about him, just focus on doing your job well. You're one of the top directors in Hollywood, why are you afraid of competition in this area?"

The Indian was quite blunt, but Spielberg didn't care about saving face when facing a wealthy patron: "I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about his partners. Eric's backer is Hawke Osment, who is cunning and ruthless and very difficult to deal with."

It's said that Hawke's faction took down Lolita Island and obtained some lists and videos. Spielberg and his old buddy Tom Hanks both visited the island. If...

Although these messy incidents aren't particularly troublesome for Hollywood stars and directors, Spielberg didn't want to give up the good reputation he had built up over thirty years.

Meanwhile, Tom Hanks, a close friend of Tom Hanks, is going through a divorce with Rita Wilson. It's said that Hanks spent a huge amount of money to appease his wife and preserve the "good guy" image he's built up over decades.

Mukesh didn't know much about Hawke: "I know his Twitter is the number one internet social media in the world, and I've also heard that Eric Ethan is a director he mentored."

As a customer of Lolita Island and a longtime supporter of the Donald Party, Spielberg knew a little about it: "Hawker's behind-the-scenes maneuvering was one of the key factors in the current Oval Office's rise to power."

Mukesh's thoughts drifted further afield, and he wasn't particularly concerned about what Spielberg was saying about awards season and the Oscars.

He suddenly asked Spielberg, "Is Hawke Osment a very principled person?"

Spielberg shook his head and said, "If he were principled, there wouldn't be the massive Twitter and West Coast companies we have today. Of course, on the surface he's a good guy, low-key and pragmatic, and he almost never appears in the media."

He added, "Almost everyone and the media have forgotten that he came from a background as a paparazzi and public relations manager. I don't need to say much about being a paparazzi, and as a public relations manager, you have to whitewash the black. Anyone with a conscience wouldn't be able to do this job."

Mukesh nodded: "I understand."

He invests in movies partly for business, and partly because his wife likes the Hollywood vibe.

Mukesh never considered movies to be anything particularly important, nor did he ever think of comparing himself to his foolish brother.

"I'll fight for it if I can, but it doesn't matter if I can't. It won't affect my investment in DreamWorks."

Mukesh was most concerned about Hawke, so he simply waved his hand and said, "Steven, that's enough for today. We'll contact you by phone if anything comes up."

Spielberg immediately took his leave and left the hotel.

He got into the van and returned to DreamWorks headquarters, immediately summoning his deputy, Kathleen Kennedy, who oversaw DreamWorks' operations and administration.

Catherine asked, "How is it?"

Spielberg sighed slightly: "The Indians are very generous with their investments. In reality, investing in Hollywood films is just a key for them to open the door to America. They don't care how many awards they can win."

He paused for a moment: "I have a feeling that Mukesh is somewhat afraid of Hawke and doesn't want to be his enemy, even though Hawke is cooperating with his brother whom he hates."

Kathleen Kennedy exclaimed, "Hawk Osment's infamy has reached India?"

Spielberg said, "I'm afraid that's the case."

In the hotel on the other side, Mukesh summoned his confidant and said, "I remember there's a West Coast technology delegation in the country negotiating investment with the authorities. Try to secretly contact them, and if they encounter any difficulties, quietly lend a hand."

The assistant made a note: "What if they ask?"

Mukesh said, "We need to let Hawke know who's helping him."

The assistant is preparing to return to India ahead of schedule.

Mukesh summoned his driver and bodyguard, found a newspaper, pointed to the piece of land announced by the Los Angeles mayor's assistant, and said, "To West Los Angeles." (End of Chapter)
