New York 1988

Chapter 180 Ubiquitous Influence (for Subscription)

In the United States, 90.00% of all strikes by workers have something to do with the union.

However, the workers' strike in Los Angeles this time was not led by the union. On the contrary, the workers were against the union.

The salary is not satisfactory, the working hours are too long, and the trade union people are corrupted and so on. In short, it seems that someone has ordered sparks, and there is a rapid disturbance.

The trade unions are not vegetarian, and there are usually people behind them, and the Port of Los Angeles is naturally the same.

So, soon, the Peterson family sent people to deal with those troublemakers severely, and then, the violent conflict happened so naturally.

In fact, this kind of thing is almost commonplace in the Port of Los Angeles, and the number of port workers killed by the Peterson family every year is unknown.

However, in the past, the Peterson family only covered the sky with their hands, as if nothing had happened, but this time it was different. The workers were clearly organized secretly, and then they united together to overthrow the labor union and the Peterson family. The thugs, and then, there are still a lot of dead people, and the matter has become so big that it is out of control.

"Fuck, how do you do things," Los Angeles Police Chief Joseph grinned inwardly, while spitting on Williams, the chief of the branch in charge of the port, "Do you want the old man to lose this hat!"

Then he waved his hand, "Now, I will remove your position, and I accept the matter at the port!"

"No, this is against the rules," Williams refused without hesitation, "That is the domain of the Peterson family, you have to figure this out, even your master Vincent, he also abides by this rule, Do you understand?"

Now that it's all said here, Joseph didn't hide it anymore, and smiled disdainfully, "You still haven't understood yet, what happened this time was ordered by our boss.

As for the Peterson family, who, this Los Angeles has one and only one owner, and that is our boss! "

"Are you going to break the rules?" Williams still didn't seem to understand the situation, or in other words, got used to the previous way and couldn't change it for a while.

Joseph didn't bother to talk to him anymore, "Rules, big fists are the rules, you don't even understand the simplest truth!"

Then he waved him off, and at the same time, began to arrange staff.

That afternoon, the Los Angeles Police Department decisively intervened in the riots in the Port of Los Angeles, and then arrested more than 100 people at once. However, what is interesting is that the workers who beat people were a few bosses, and the labor unions, almost large and small They were all arrested.

"Vincent, are you ready to go to war?" Robert Peterson called with a fierce tone.

Han Sheng poked his ears impatiently, "I don't know what you're talking about, if you're talking about the port, the Los Angeles Police Department will follow the rules, and then the procuratorate and the court will follow the rules too.

If you can pick any questions, feel free to come to me! "

"You... Pfft!" Han Sheng didn't know that Robert Peterson spat out a mouthful of blood angrily, and he had already hung up the phone.

And Robert Peterson just fell ill.

After all, he is 75, not too young.

Of course, whether he falls ill or not, things will go according to plan. However, once he falls ill, the members of the Peterson family are all staring at the position of the family leader, and they are all ready to move. For such a thing as the Port of Los Angeles , nobody cares.

Therefore, in less than half a month, basically all members of the trade union were convicted and thrown into prison.

At this time, the workers elected new union members, and almost all of them were controlled by Han Sheng and the others.

In other words, after more than two months of planning, the Port of Los Angeles has officially entered Han Sheng's control. After that, it will be much easier for him to import and export anything.

Even if it's something that shouldn't be there.

Here, power is equal to the law, and he said it should be.

By this time, it was already April.

Then, the recall election for the governor finally began.

Han Sheng didn't care, he was hugging Alexandra.

So fresh and delicate NENG, he couldn't put it down.

However, on the way, Victoria called.

"My side will be ready soon, do you want to come to the play?"

Victoria has also been busy for more than three months. She said last time that she has already obtained 20% of the shares. Now, maybe more.

"I'll come over tomorrow!" Han Sheng said.

Then, Alexandra leaned over to the phone and said in a coquettish voice, "Sister Victoria, I'm coming too...!"

Victoria knew what she was doing as soon as she heard it, and spat, "Bastard, my mother is busy here, and you are so happy!"

Alexandra giggled, and said: "Uncle Vincent is necrotic, he insisted on catching me, I, I was going to class today, he, he, said he would give me Check SHENTI...!"

"Bah!" Victoria was full of hate, didn't this mean to make her feel uncomfortable, she liked the game of body check the most.

Other than that, it's killing chickens with horses.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became. With my legs crossed, I gritted my teeth, "Bastard, you have to come over tonight, otherwise, or I will, hmph!"

Han Sheng laughed out loud and deliberately teased her, "Didn't you just say you have hands? It's not rare. I said yesterday that you're sure you'll be happy, so don't hesitate now!"

"Ah, bastard, come here quickly, hurry up!" Victoria groaned, and then began to tease him.

All kinds of teasing on the phone.

It made Han Sheng even more excited, grabbing Alexandra, whoa.

Then, it made Victoria also directly high.

……

That night, Han Sheng took Alexandra back to New York.

Then almost a night of sleepless nights.

Fortunately, the waist is still strong, very powerful.

Woke up early the next morning to practice, still full of energy.

Victoria was rather lazy. It was past eleven o'clock when she coquettishly put her arms around his neck and asked him to hug him for lunch.

She just likes the feeling of being pampered, and feels like a little girl.

Then, while enjoying the feeding, they talked about Disney.

"Before we had 11%, and then all kinds of left-handed and right-handed ones, when they smashed crazy, they sucked about 3%. However, this is only in the secondary market. The most important thing is that when it reaches 6 yuan, Many people couldn't hold back, so we collected 12% from Disney's other small shareholders at a price of 12 yuan, and we now have 26% of the equity. If we want, we can now Become a controlling shareholder."

"Do you have other ideas?" Han Sheng smiled.

"Hmm!" Victoria nodded, "If I stand up, the Disney family and Michael Eisner will definitely unite, and then they have more than 30% of the shares in their hands, and then there are other board members standing behind them.

At that time, Morgan's Leitner and the others could be put up for sale again.

Moreover, at that time, we still couldn't control Disney, which is something I absolutely don't want to see! "

Han Sheng nodded, "I have specially sent someone to investigate. If the Disney family really unites with Michael Eisner, they should be able to control about 45% of the equity!"

"Oh, where did you know that?" Victoria was curious, with a hint of excitement, "Bastard, so you have something to do!"

Han Sheng smiled. There are many hidden chess pieces in his Victory Martial Arts Gym, especially various nets, which can be infiltrated without anyone noticing.

It's one of his real right-hand men.

Moreover, this data is almost the same as in the original time and space, when the Disney family and Michael Eisner reached a behind-the-scenes deal and finally voted together on the board of directors.

It was 44% in the original time and space, and the wind he received was 45%.

There is only a 1% gap, which also shows the ability of his dark son.

A few words were mentioned in a slightly cryptic manner.

Victoria is so smart, she understood immediately, and cheered excitedly, "Although it seems to be against us now, in fact, we have figured out all the enemy's situation, now, we just need to prescribe the right medicine, hahahaha , we have won!"

Like the Disney family, diehards, Roy Avery Disney, and Roy Edward Disney, it's impossible to say anything.

Then, Michael Eisner couldn't move.

But not necessarily some of their allies.

If the interests are there, then it is different.

So, soon, Han Sheng, Victoria and others began to contact the allies of Roy Avery Disney and Michael Eisner.

"Although the market value was 400 billion in the past, it was true, but now, it is less than 200 billion, only 160 billion, but it doesn't matter, we are willing to buy your stock at a valuation of 250 billion knives!"

"You said that the current valuation is unreasonable, but this is the situation now. The stocks of all companies are falling. Moreover, this situation is difficult to change in a short period of time. You must know it. Then, if Roy Edward Disney As long as they continue to fight with Michael Eisner, the stock price will never hope."

Facing Harrison who was approached by William, Han Sheng patiently explained to him, "Besides, even if one of them wins, do you think Disney has hope? At that time, what is the result of both sides' losses? It must be falling apart. , and then the entire company will be dragged into the abyss.

This is why Disney's stock price is so low now, because too many people worry about the outcome of the battle, which will dim Disney's prospects no matter which side wins.

Only me, and only when we beyond entertainment take over, can Disney regain its new life. I don’t want to say more about this, I just want to say that my past achievements can prove this point! "

At the same time, Victoria is also talking to Cody, another minority shareholder of Disney, who owns 1.6%, "You think the valuation is low and unreasonable, but this is not just the case with Disney in the market.

You said it will rise back, but, as far as the current situation is concerned, when will it be possible to rise back, three years, five years or longer.

What we offer is more than 50% of the current premium, even if you sell it now and then go to the market to buy other stocks, even Disney’s, that’s better than holding on tight now.”

The high premium is one aspect. Then, Han Sheng’s record in the past is really outstanding. To be honest, people from the Disney family such as Roy Avery Disney, and Michael Eisner and others have their own private ideas. .

The former wants to keep Disney's family property, and the latter wants to swallow Disney and own Disney forever. However, for more people, investment is for making money.

The two of you two are arguing so fiercely now that the interests of shareholders have been damaged and the stock price has plummeted. this point.

Therefore, many people were moved.

Whether it was because of the high premium, or because they hoped that Han Sheng would bring glory to Disney after he moved in, soon, a small number of people sold their shares, and most of them sold a little bit, but kept more shares. Then, at Disney's latest shareholder meeting, Han Sheng became the chairman and CEO of the board of directors by virtue of his previous 35% major shareholder status.

At the same time, Han Sheng passed the plan of capital increase and share expansion as soon as he came to power.

Direct financing of 200 billion knives, is it an excuse? It’s very simple, or it can’t be regarded as an excuse. It’s an expansion trend. It will buy Pixar animation at a price of 50 billion knives, and then acquire Marvel at a price of 30 billion knives, and then , also acquired the copyright of "Pirates of the Caribbean" owned by beyond, and created the Pirates of the Caribbean play area in Disneyland.

Besides, in the east, Magic City, Beijing City, and the provincial capital of Hunan Province started planning to build three theme parks at the same time, with a total investment of at least 50 billion dollars.

In short, there are reasons and evidence.

But in fact, this is also a conspiracy to dilute the equity.

It's very simple, capital increase and share expansion, the financing of 200 billion knives is equivalent to directly doubling the shares. Then, those who have money can naturally get more shares, and those who have no money can only watch The watch equity is diluted.

This is not just Wall Street, it is the most basic game all over the world.

The problem is that Han Sheng has a lot of money, and the Disney family's 17% equity is equivalent to more than 34 billion dollars in cash to keep their existing equity.

However, these days, everyone is having a miserable life. After the stock market plummeted, everyone’s pockets were so nervous that they would die, not to mention spending money, they were still thinking about getting some money from the stock market and spending it.

The same is true for Michael Eisner. He and his allies need to raise more than 11 billion in cash for the 22% stake. Oh, he is just a wage earner, and he doesn't even have 22 million in cash, let alone [-] billion.

Therefore, in the face of this situation, the Disney family and Michael Eisner immediately expressed dissatisfaction, saying that they would file a complaint with the SEC, which is the Securities Regulatory Commission of the United States.

However, how can the SEC manage this? The simplest reason is that this is passed by the general meeting of shareholders. The minority obeys the majority, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Complaints have a useless ah.

For other shareholders, equity dilution, as long as the company develops rapidly and grows in the future, then the diluted equity is worth more than the current equity, which is the most basic truth.

This is also the fundamental reason why most shareholders are very upset about the fight between the Disney family and Michael Eisner, which has damaged their interests.

In a word, if no one stood up to save them, they could only swallow their anger. Now that someone has stepped forward, how could they not resist.

Moreover, Han Sheng’s financing of 200 billion knives is really to expand Disney’s territory. Although they are also fighting, their means are high. Well, there is one more thing, they are rich, they are awesome .

In the United States, if you are awesome, you are great, and everyone is convinced.

So, soon, Han Sheng obtained more than 65% of the equity through capital increase and share expansion. The Disney family borrowed money to barely keep 10%. As for Michael Eisner, it was very straightforward.

He knew that he had lost, so he quickly disposed of all the equity, and then honestly left.

As for Han Sheng, he didn't intend to hold him accountable.

It was just that Robert Iger was appointed as the new CEO of Disney very quickly. He was not prepared to do specific things by himself.

At this time, the time has come to May.

Coincidentally, after Disney got it, the California governor's removal case officially began to be voted on.

Han Sheng wasn't worried, but he appeared on the scene immediately. Now he has to stand up slowly and let more Californians know that he exists here.

In other words, subtly, most people only know him as the boss, and he is the master of California.

"Vincent, is the dismissal case a foregone conclusion?" The "Washington Post" is not as arrogant as before, mainly because Han Sheng is also a shareholder.

Now that he has money, he spends all kinds of money, especially the media.

Even, "Time", "Variety Show", "Entertainment Weekly", "New York Times", "Chicago Sun-Times", "Boston Tribune", etc., he is already a top shareholder.

After the financial crisis hit in 08, when most of them went bankrupt, he could even own all of them.

Being rich is self-willed.

Not to mention the online media such as Yahoo, Facebook, ICQ, etc. that he owns.

"I don't have the final say on the recall case. In the end, it depends on the opinions of the public?"

"In the next gubernatorial election, who do you think will win? Many people say you support Richard D'Addario, and some say you trained him?" Los Angeles Times.

"The media will always use all kinds of surprising words to attract people's attention. I am quite familiar with Richard, but I am very good friends with him, and there will be no more after that.

As for the final election results, I still say the same thing, I just want to see the rapid development of California, the improvement of social security, the improvement of people's lives, and everyone can feel the happiness of living here... ! "

On the 9th, ballots for recall began.

Although the Peterson family wants to struggle to the death, but even Han Sheng, the family who gnawed at you, has settled down, and it is useless for him to struggle any longer.

On the 12th, the results came out, which was higher than the 55.9% in the original time and space. In this time and space, 72% of the people directly supported the removal of Governor Davis.

And then, next, there's the ballot campaign for the new governor.

After Arnold's launch has been confirmed, Richard can say that there is no opponent who can fight. In the end, with Han Sheng standing on the platform in person, Governor Arnold's support rate of 48% in Richard Derby's original time and space Much higher, at 61 percent.

This also directly shows Han Sheng's influence.

The "New York Times" said sourly, "Perhaps, we can say that California is Vincent's California, and his influence is everywhere, from the various health products and drugs used by the big guys, The Chinese restaurant I go to eat, all kinds of beef, all kinds of chocolates, and desserts for cooking, and then the supermarket I go shopping, and then I use the computer, the operating system, and then I usually go to the news website, chat software for making friends, and listen to it. Music, movies watched, MP3, MP4 used, travel websites used when traveling, booking air tickets, staying in hotels, eating delicious food...

Cheese, perhaps, this is not just California.

Throughout the United States, he is everywhere! "
