The Wolf of Los Angeles

Los Angeles Convention Center, News Hall.

That morning, hundreds of media and journalists gathered, most of them from finance and technology.

Everyone's attention was all on the rostrum.

Twitter and long-term investment companies from Silicon Valley jointly held a press conference and officially announced that the two sides would start investment negotiations.

Peter Thiel and Red Hoffman, who represent long-term investment companies, are both famous figures in Silicon Valley and have brilliant business achievements.

In contrast, Caroline, who represented Twitter, seemed unknown.

Twitter’s live broadcast group set up cameras early and broadcast the entire online broadcast through Twitter.

Daniel Kechel, assistant to the governor from the governor's office, expressed the importance the new governor attaches to the investment in this emerging business company.

The press conference went very smoothly, and Twitter also entered the horizon of more people.

In front of the guardrail on the second floor, Mary Ferguson looked down and asked, "Don't you like public places?"

Hawke said, "I'm hiding behind, and there are people who want to harm me, and rush to the front, which is even more dangerous."

"You're going to go to the stage after all." Mary was talking about a realistic problem: "It's impossible to hide behind the scenes forever."

Hawke thought for a while and said to the truth: "When I really have the strength, it doesn't matter before and behind the scenes."

Mary thought of one thing: "Did you persuade Erica?"

Hawke nodded: "She has done a lot for me and can't hinder her development in LAPD because of my business."

He suddenly laughed: "I also have selfish thoughts. When Erica becomes the boss of LAPD, I don't have to worry about these small problems in Los Angeles."

Mary looked into Hawke's eyes with obvious appreciation.

Once again, she felt that what Paul Ferguson, Erica's grandfather, said and did was particularly wise.

No matter what the other party is from, it depends on what he has done.

...

Burbank Hotel, Penthouse Suite.

The live broadcast of Twitter website was cast on the screen.

Douglas Coster sat on the sofa and watched quietly as Twitter and long-term investment companies jointly held a press conference.

On another sofa next to it, Muri Gober, who had just arrived from BlackRock headquarters yesterday, had a expressionless face. Have tried too much,

It seems like Twitter has never been connected with BlackRock.

The press conference ended with warm applause.

Douglas picked up the remote control and turned off the projector.

"It is estimated that once the negotiations are over, Peter Thiel and Red Hoffman, coupled with the funds they raised, will immediately enter Twitter, and Twitter will receive support from Silicon Valley capital," said Muri Gober. , complete the transformation."

He paused a little and said, "Some capital, swinging left and right, will go wherever they can get greater benefits."

"I didn't do my job well." Douglas didn't mean to shirk responsibility at all: "We had a chance."

Muri Gober showed that the company's attitude was enough and did not blame him too much, saying, "The Twitter matter is irreversible. Don't mess with it more and turn to other acquisition targets."

Douglas was unwilling to accept it: "The size of other online social media is incomparable to Twitter, even the largest blog websites, it's not possible."

He suddenly had an idea: “Does Twitter involve monopoly?”

"You can start from this and cause some trouble there, but the main task is to put it on the marginalized plan," Murray Gober said.

This is related to BlackRock's long-term strategy: "The board of directors has made the decision, and Hollywood is completely left to you."

Douglas will not mention Twitter for the time being, take out the prepared materials and hand them over to Muri Gober: "As of now, BlackRock Film Fund has been promoting two film projects, which are produced by Focus Pictures and directed by Ang Lee "Brokeback Mountain" has been basically confirmed."

Although he didn't dare to go out during this period, he did not work much in the hotel: "George Clooney and Sean Penn recommended me a biographical script, according to the famous **** leader Harvey Milk Life adaptation, which involves social and political movements, is just as consistent with our plans.”

Muri Gober was not particularly familiar with the specific work in the film and said, "You should control this aspect, and the plan must be carried out as soon as possible. We must see the results at this time next year."

Douglas calculated the time and said, "There will be another Oscar at the earliest. The movie has a great impact on the public, but the production and screening cycle is also very long. We can only take the route of winning the prize and borrow the Oscars. Influence has set off a new wave of movement across the United States."

"Yes." Muri Gober put away the materials and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, he reminded him: "Be careful."

"I do it." Douglas is more than just knowing it, he is extremely careful. Since his assistant Tim disappeared, he has never left the Burbank Hotel except for going to the FBI Los Angeles branch office.

There is also an experienced security team that is protecting him.

And after a while, he will leave Los Angeles and return to San Francisco.

That's not the territory of the Ferguson family.

...

The brand new Mercedes-Benz bulletproof sedan left the city, passed through East Hollywood, and came to Century City Square in Beverly Hills. Edward turned around and turned into the parking lot and came next to a Chevrolet.

The Chevrolet window descended, and Jennifer Huey took out a file bag and handed it over.

Hawke took it and said, "Thank you."

Jennifer raised the window up and said, “You found these yourself.”

Hawke understood what she meant: "Don't worry, it's okay with you." The Chevrolet windows rose and quickly left the parking lot.

"Go to Silver Lake Community." Hawke said to Edward who was driving, and opened the file bag and looked carefully.

The above records how the Wyoming branch of BlackRock used an open prospecting company to infringe on the rights and interests of the Indian reserve area, and eventually led to disputes and killed more than a dozen people.

If it was a white man, maybe this matter would have exploded long ago.

But the Indians died, and they were easily settled by people who spent money to suppress them.

Indians have no human rights.

Hawke was uncertain. After hundreds of years of exploitation, how much blood was left of those Indians.

Douglas Cost has been hiding in the Burbank Hotel, hiding under the protection of numerous security personnel, like a turtle hunched.

Not to mention Hawk, Erica, who wants to play the traditional LAPD performance, can't find a chance to take action.

Hawke had a feeling that this **** would be extra careful in Los Angeles.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The other party is the head of BlackRock's San Francisco branch. Even if you contact Hollywood in Los Angeles and conduct marginal crowd plans, you will return to San Francisco in the middle.

Mercedes-Benz entered Yinhu Community and drove directly into the villa.

When Hawke got out of the car, he called Raul and the other two, "Come in."

He said to Edward again, "Bring the things."

Edward opened the handheld box, took out three small bags, and followed Hawke into the villa.

Not much meeting, Raul, Guti and Morientes came in one after another.

Hawke didn't say nonsense: "The attack occurred in Citrus Square. You have timely warnings and protection in place. I won't say much if you thank you."

"Boss, this is our duty," Raul said.

"Then you will be more concerned about your responsibilities." Hawke will not speak vernacularly and will not make people desperate, nor will he make a pie to satisfy his hunger.

Others have fought for you, and you must give the reward you deserve.

Hawke took the bag from Edward and gave one to each of Raul and the other two.

He said, "Don't refuse, this is a bonus. If you don't take it, how can I rest assured?"

Guti smiled, shook her long golden hair, and said, "Thank you, boss."

Morientes remained silent, but nodded hard at Hawk, as if in this way, expressing his determination.

His family came to Los Angeles and successfully solved his identity problem. His family has a single-family house to live in, and his children can go to private schools. His own income is quite good.

The boss is not bad, but generous.

No second job found for such a job.

Hawke said again: "When encountering difficulties in life, communicate with Edward in time."

Raul smiled and said, "It's much better here than Mexico."

The three of them quickly left the villa and returned to normal working conditions.

In the villa, Hawke took out a card and handed it to Edward: "This is for you, please collect it."

Edward closed his arms happily: "Boss, you are so generous."

Hawke patted him on the shoulder: "Savior, you are my lucky star."

Edward's enthusiasm suddenly came up. He picked up the file bag given by Jennifer, took out the documents and looked carefully, helping Hawke find a breakthrough.

Hawke continued to read the document he brought, looked over and over again, found a part and reprinted it, and compiled it into a separate copy.

He then contacted Campos.

Before noon, Campos came to Silver Lake Community.

Hawke handed him the printed materials and said, "This is about an Indian man and his family's case. Are there anyone here who knows Indian culture? I need to go to Wyoming alone. Enter the Indian Reservation near Jeffrey City.”

Campos thought carefully for a while: "It's not easy to find people in this regard. Indians live entirely in another world, and people in the reserved areas rarely deal with people outside."

Edward interrupted, "I feel that Indians are even worse than black people."

Campos responded: "It's so miserable. You still know how to make trouble, they..."

"So, find a reliable person to go over and give these to the target person." Hawke intends to try it out: "If the target person leaves the reserve, find a way to follow him."

Campos thought for a while and said, "Let Carlos and Garcia go for a trip, this job is not difficult for them."

Hawke nodded, "Yes, you can make arrangements as soon as possible."

"I'll go now." Campos brought the information bag, quickly walked out of the villa and got on the bus, and returned to the company directly.

Midway through, he called Carlos and Garcia and asked the two to come to the company to see him.

Just after noon, the two of them had booked their flights and headed straight to Los Angeles International Airport.

Hawke received an invitation from Fox to attend a collaborator banquet. (End of this chapter)
