Chapter 239 Luo Bancheng Tao Xi

A phone call from his former friend Emilio Adams.

For his old friend, Tao Xi still has very complicated thoughts. If he didn't have Emilio's help from the beginning, he might not have developed so fast.

But if Emilio hadn't added fuel to the fire this time, he wouldn't have let Disney snatch MGM away.

It was ten o'clock in the evening when Tausi saw Emilio Adams again.

Michael Dukakis, who was originally high-spirited on TV, looked like a stray dog ​​at the moment. Emilio, who was sitting next to him, had gray hair on his black hair at some point.

"Tausi, there may indeed be some problems with our methods before, but if you can join us now, we are heroes of the United States!"

"Those Republican idiots only want the military to suppress the demonstrations."

"I can let you serve as a member of the National Assembly and the Minister of Trade. You say the position, as long as you need it, I can give it to you!"

Michael with red eyes looked like a gambling dog in Tao Xi's eyes at the moment.

His hands firmly grasped Tao Xi's shoulders, but his pupils kept dilated and shrunk, revealing the panic in his heart.

Judging from a series of news such as [North American Locksmiths Union Joint Complaint] - [Welfare Hospital Accuses Michael of Accepting Bribes] - [Congressional Recording Exposure], his political career has been bleak.

"Adams!"

"Are you sure you want this idiot to come and negotiate with me?"

Tao Xi pushed Michael away and asked Emilio helplessly.

Emilio took a deep breath and apologized to Tao Xi with a complex expression: "I lost, Tao Xi, I admit that you are very good, I didn't ask you to help us this time, I just came here to ask you Get out of prison and quickly make the organization [North American Locksmiths Union] function normally again."

At first, he thought Emilio was helping him speak. Michael Dukakis felt as if his tail was caught by the door when he heard this sentence.

"You are crazy!"

"Adams, we almost won!"

"Just a little bit, if Tao Xi can help us, we will be kings!"

"I can give Raytheon more military orders, and I can help become Governor of California!"

Tao Xi looked at Michael, who was about to lose his mind, and Emilio, who was looking for survival, with a trace of sarcasm on his face: "You were the ones who sent me to prison, and now you let me out?"

"Just because you belong to the Adams family?"

"Just because you are a strong candidate for the Grand Commander?"

"Two idiots who have been abandoned, what qualifications do you have to come and negotiate with me?"

"roll!"

Tao Xi turned his head and left the visiting room after saying this to the two of them with a look of disgust and returned to his cell.

Jeffrey Kyle, the deputy chief of the Los Angeles Police Department, who had been sitting here for a long time, asked jokingly, "What? Are you afraid that people will jump over the wall in a hurry?"

"Do you think we need to save face for each other in this situation?"

"Believe it or not, as long as the two of them appear at the gate of Prison No. 86 with this expression today, reporters will reveal their misdeeds tomorrow!"

Tao Xi replied confidently to Jeffrey.

Jeffrey Kyle shrugged his shoulders indifferently: "You are a qualified politician! Now the entire Democratic Party is in a mess. If I guess correctly, the two of them are already abandoned."

"Both lose!"

"However, I am developing too fast. This time is also an opportunity for me. I took advantage of this civil strife to clean up a lot of corruption and commercial espionage."

Geoffrey Kyle sat opposite Tausi for a long time without speaking, looking preoccupied.

His godfather was still there when he left, but when he came back his godfather was gone, Tao Xi tilted his head and asked curiously: "You also want me to support you as the commander?"

"Oh! Almost."

"Well, it's fine if it's inappropriate, what's so good about that thing." Tao Xi directly said what was in his heart, but Tao Xi seemed to think that he had heard something wrong, so he raised his head again and asked, "What did you say?"

"Governor of California!"

"I need you to support me. With me here, I think you should rest assured of your rear."

Tausi circled Geoffrey Kyle several times with his big eyes wide open before realizing that he was serious.

But I have to say that Jeffrey Kyle's qualifications are really enough. Apart from his immediate boss, there are really few people in the California police system who are older than his Jeffrey's qualifications.

With sufficient connections and qualifications, plus the headquarter of the [North American Locksmiths Union] is California, it might really be possible.

In fact, Tao Xi had no idea about the control of the [North American Locksmiths Union].

The background of this comeback is that the U.S. stock market crash has just ended, the economy is depressed, and a large number of unemployment, so that the "flexible employment" of the North American Locksmiths Union can subsidize many low- and middle-class families.

The group of "blue collars" who managed to get subsidized family jobs had just stabilized and then their jobs were smashed.

The anger suppressed in the hearts of those people just happened to be used by Tao Xi again.

And that group of veterans only needs the [North American Locksmiths Union]. If it wasn't for Michael's failure to do what he promised, Tao Xi really didn't have the confidence to repeat this incident again.

The incident this time is too much trouble, why not let Jeffrey Kyle also serve as the union chairman of the [North American Locksmiths Union]?

Calming the Parade - Stabilizing the Chaos
These two points should make him successful, right?
The more Tao Xi touched his chin, the more he thought about it, the more likely his idea was.

"Fxxk! Your eyes seem to be looking at a bastard now!"

"Tsk, you're so vulgar, I'm admiring a work of art!" After wandering around Jeffrey Kyle several times, Tao Xi finally expressed all his thoughts.

Geoffrey Kyle finally left Prison 86 at dawn.

Before Tao Xi lay down and slept for a while, the old Shay, whom he hadn't seen for almost half a year, came here with his grandson and big bags.

"Heh, if I hadn't been in prison here for almost a year, I really don't know that Mr. Shay, the major shareholder of Wells Fargo Bank, would be waiting here."

How could Prince have as much thoughtfulness as old Shay.

He came to Tao Xi with a happy face, and directly stuffed a "cheque from Wells Fargo Bank" into Tao Xi's hand: "Tao Xi, don't be wronged, don't say brother, I didn't think about you, but I helped you." You got compensation from those old guys."

Tao Xi casually threw the check on the table and lay down on the bed.

Seeing Tao Xi's appearance, Prince immediately snapped Tao Xi's head back: "Tau Xi! That's Disney's share certificate! Although you don't have MGM anymore, you are now Disney's largest shareholder!"

Tao Xi took the "Wells Fargo Check" with a suspicious face when he heard Prince's words.

It's more like a [Disney stock holding agreement] than a check, in which 60% of the shares in Caden Walker's hands and 57% of the shares are all held by Tao Xi.

"Tao Xi, 23 billion, Disney is yours."

Tao Xi turned his head and said to Old Shay with disgust on his face: "Come on, just tell the truth what I need to do?"

Old Shay fumbled with his middle finger as a sign of his nervousness.

This old Shay Tausi has only seen it twice, and the last time was when he won the contract for the Panama Canal.

"riot!"

"procession!"

Tao Xi frowned and stared at the old Shay in front of him, a guy who had never been involved in politics.

He first made a "Republican" pronunciation with his mouth
Old Shay tilted his head in approval, but he didn't speak, and touched his collar inadvertently.

Got it!
Tao Xi knew at a glance that this was because the Republican Party couldn't save face and played a devious route in the anti-Japanese war.

Rolling his eyes, Tao Xi grabbed the button of Old Shay's collar and shouted at the other end: "Can you be sincere when you ask me to do something? I will give you an hour, whoever begs me, Who will come here in person!"

After Tao Xi finished speaking, he threw the button into the toilet.

Seeing that the button was washed down the sewer by Tao Xi, Old Shay sighed heavily: "Oh~"

"You say you are old, old, and you don't want to think about how to protect the Wells Fargo site for your grandson, so why do you still wade into this muddy water every day?"

Prince was just like a stupid son of a landlord's family, watching everything that happened in front of him in a daze.

Old Shay replied with a look of melancholy: "Hey, the foolish things I did when I was young are being found by others today!"

Prince Shea just wanted to stare into his big eyes to find out, but he was kicked out by his grandpa.

Time passed by like this, and Old Shay slowly became nervous.

A couple who seemed to be about the same age as Old Shay walked in, and Tao Xi clearly noticed that when the woman who looked very temperament appeared, Old Shay's breathing became much faster.

Old Shay's head dropped to his chest when he saw the woman appear.

But that old man is proud like a victorious general!

Tao Xi, who wanted to laugh but was embarrassed to laugh, took the initiative to say: "Okay, there is no need to say more about your purpose. I have very few relatives, and Old Shay is one of them. Now that he has spoken, let me talk about my conditions. The subsidy budget should be subsidized to the welfare hospital under the North American Locksmiths Union!"

"Ok!"

The old man replied in proficient Chinese.

"Hmph, isn't it just that he went to the mainland to be an ambassador for several years when he was young? What's the big deal!" Old Shay muttered dissatisfiedly as he put his arms around Tao Xi's head.

The woman next to the old man smiled and whispered a few words in Old Shay's ear, and Old Shay followed him away.

"Tsk!"

"Lick the dog!"

The old man chatted with Tao Xi for about two hours, and no one knew what he and Tao Xi talked about.

Even old Shay who came back didn't know.

Tao Xi is out of prison!
The next morning, he left prison with a luggage bag, although he had walked out of the gate of Prison No. 86 more than once in the past six months.

But the feeling of embracing the sun for the first time is really cool.

"what!!!!"

No one came to greet him at the empty gate of the prison, and it was Tao Xi's choice to keep a low profile.

But this morning.

A piece of news in the New York Post shocked the entire media circle!
[The North American Locksmiths Union officially changed its name to the North American Federation of Labor]

You must know that the name of the oldest trade union in the United States is the [American Federation of Labor], which is a union with 1200 million union members!
What is it?
When the whole of the United States was shocked, Reuters released another piece of news [North American Federation of Labor announced that its trade union members officially exceeded 1500 million, and the US Department of Defense & US FDA announced that it will allocate 10 billion US dollars in medical subsidies every year]

While the public was talking, Jeffrey Kyle, who just applied for retirement yesterday, attended an interview with Fox News Channel.

"Maybe some people in front of the TV know me, and some don't."

"These are not important, but I hope you can get to know me today!"

"I am the new president of the North American Federation of Labor, Jeffrey Kyle. We are different from other unions. I am based on the fundamentals. I provide flexible employment opportunities and employment training for all groups of people in society. Behind us is Panama. Sunshine Commercial Bank will review and provide employment loans for each employment group.”

Caden Walker sat in the president's office of the Disney headquarters building with a gloomy expression, watching everything on TV.

Today, all the middle and high-level employees in the entire Disney headquarters looked at the elevator with uncertain expressions.
Because today Disney's finance department received a joint inquiry from their new shareholder [Sunshine Industrial Group] finance department and legal department early in the morning, and terminated all Disney's financial expenditures.

A dozen of Caden Walker's secretaries stood at the door of Caden Walker with apprehensive faces, because no matter who went in, they would be kicked out by Caden Walker.

Just as the atmosphere continued to sink, the building's elevator rang with a "ding".

Tao Xi, who was dressed in a neat suit, stepped out first with his hands in his pockets.

The finance department and legal department behind him immediately went to the finance department of the Disney headquarters building to conduct a risk control review.

"cough!"

"Ok!"

"It's a pleasure to meet you and welcome you to join the big family of Sunshine Industry."

"From today onwards, I will be your new boss. I hope you will work hard in the Sunshine Film Group in the future." Tao Xi, who was just about to turn around and leave, seemed to remember something and turned around and slapped the employees behind him. He snapped his fingers and said, "Oh, that's right! There will be no more Disney in Hollywood in the future! You are just a subsidiary company of Sunshine Film Group."

Tao Xi glanced nonchalantly at the secretary standing at the door of Kaden Walker's office: "I'm not welcome?"

"No, it's not old. The former boss is still inside!"

"Oh?" Tao Xi muttered with his head tilted, and Tao Xi kicked the door open with his high left foot.

Caden Walker stared at Tao Xi fiercely with a sullen face.

"Who is he?"

"Call security!"

"Throw him out!"

Dozens of Caden Walker's secretaries looked at each other, no one moved, but Tao Xi was not in a hurry, he said unhurriedly: "Oh, the next problem that Disney should solve first is layoffs, and then Salary cut, I don't want everyone to face too badly in the future."

As soon as Tao Xi finished speaking, a man walked up to Kaden Walker and bowed first, and then dragged Kaden Walker outside without hesitation.

If there is one, there are two, there are three. Caden Walker, who was thrown to the entrance of the Disney building by more than a dozen people, made the headlines of the major news that day.

Only Tao Xi was enjoying himself lying on the boss chair in the office overlooking the Disney site and muttering, "Tsk, half of Hollywood? Half of Hollywood? Half of Los Angeles?"

Tao Xi, who became Luo Bancheng, seemed to be trying to make up for the unfair treatment he had received in the prison for the past six months.

He first merged Reuters and the New York Post into the Sun Media Group, and then set up special administrative buildings for MGM and Disney, and then set up their core businesses as divisions under his direct management. Started his "buy, buy, buy" journey!
The [New York Times], which was advertised as never for sale, was acquired by Tausi for $3.1 million.

After encountering difficulties in acquiring the [Los Angeles Times], Tao Xi made a U-turn and acquired the [Washington Post], which had begun to develop towards a TV conglomerate, for $9.5 million.

The endless acquisitions made the newly established [Sunshine Film Group] instantly become a film giant that even Murdoch should not underestimate.

Tausi didn't care about Murdoch's greeting.

Because this is one of the conditions, he needs more mouthpieces to increase his own strength.

When Tao Xi walked out of CBS with a huge financial team, Tao Xi sighed heavily and turned to Peter Lamont who was standing aside: "Okay, I'm going to rest, Sunshine Shadow I will leave the matter after the industry group to you."

"what!??"

"Didn't you just ask me to give you an industry reference?"

Tao Xi yawned and replied helplessly: "I've been busy for almost three months since I got out of prison, can't you let me take a good vacation?"

Peter Lamont looked back at CBS, which had just been acquired.

His heart couldn't help beating "thump, bang, bang". This is a big guy comparable to the three major broadcasting groups!
With his propaganda methods and the blessings of those newspapers, wouldn't he be what he says?

"Then how long did you rest this time?"

"Oh! I'm going to Hawaii for a vacation, and I'll go to Hong Kong to see the mergers and acquisitions of the medical group." Tao Xi lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and got into the car on his own.

"Oh, go to Hong Kong!"

"Ah! Go to Hong Kong!"

"Hey, Tao Xi, don't be in a hurry to leave, you haven't been home for three months! Sophie has been waiting for you at home for three months!"

But the car Tausi was riding in had long since disappeared from his sight.

Peter Lamont wiped the sweat from his forehead and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Hey, what's the matter!"
