Chapter 77 – I want to be governor

Xu Fei had operated the mini-map before.

By silently thinking about his own units, he could view the area where the other party was located.

For example, by silently thinking about "Da Ma" (Big Horse), a bird's-eye view of the office would appear in front of him, allowing him to see the layout of the entire room.

However, the image had extremely low resolution and he couldn't see any text. He could only infer from the actions of "Da Ma" that the other party seemed to be writing something.

Therefore, after the novelty wore off, he never used it again.

But this time was a bit different.

He dragged the mini-map and returned to the sky above the Boston Police Department.

Silently thinking about the engineer Boris, the semi-transparent page had no response at all.

He tried silently thinking multiple times...

The semi-transparent page still had no response.

But his own engineer came out!

He broke through the wall.

And, several symbols appeared above his head: ???

It seemed to be asking: Why did you call me out?

Immediately after, three spies also came out, followed by a **olice.

Yellow Mud Hillock, 12 o'clock noon; Boston, 11 o'clock at night.

Although this place was known as the warmest coastal city, the temperature was as low as minus five or six degrees. Coupled with it being late at night, there weren't many people on the streets.

One in front and one behind, one escaping and one chasing, they quickly rushed into a small grove in Boston Park.

Xu Fei had been staring at the mini-map, contemplating how to respond. He noticed a certain white-skinned police officer who was tall, fat, and out of breath, running at the back of the team. He tried to construct a spy in the nearby bushes and asked for his help.

The next moment.

The fat police officer, David, looked at his big belly with a disgusted expression and called out to a colleague of similar build in the distance, "Hey, my brother, give me a hand."

The latter was too tired to speak, but still took two steps back.

Five minutes later.

The fat police officer David and the fat police officer Alexander, who was limping, found the third black-skinned police officer, Tim, and said, "Tim, give us a hand."

Two hours later.

More than twenty police officers successfully captured the fugitive James, the major shareholder of North America Tower Company, Smith, the deputy director, Johnson, the CEO, and Boris, the director of the tower project. They returned to the Boston Police Department in high spirits.

As soon as they entered, the police dogs went crazy barking.

But after howling twice, they suddenly fell silent and then scurried into their kennels with their tails between their legs, never daring to come out again...

Two more hours later.

Xu Fei obtained the details of the entire acquisition plan.

................

Boston, East Coast of North America.

Bain Capital headquarters.

"President, the management of Tower Company and all the shareholders have been collectively arrested."

"Mm."

Romney, the founder of Bain and a man in his fifties, nodded in response and continued flipping through the magazine in his hand.

Five years ago, he decided to run for governor.

In order to pave the way for a longer-term future, he needed a "megaphone".

Because only by letting more people hear your voice can you get more votes.

After investigation, it was discovered that behind North America Broadcasting Corporation, there were capital forces at play. Only Ted Turner, the founder of CNN, was a stubborn old man with no background.

Although the other party had cooperation with the North America Military, with Bain Capital's relationships and connections, they could completely transfer the cooperation through the delivery of benefits.

A quick look at "pawread.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

The plan went smoothly.

In '96, Bain Capital acquired numerous small companies under CNN's control.

In '97, taking advantage of the listing of North America Tower Company, which was particularly important to CNN's business, Bain Capital used two years to short and long the stock while, at the same time, using special means to obtain a major shareholder position, ultimately gaining control.

In late '99, Romney attempted to contact CNN founder Ted Turner.

After dozens of rounds of negotiations, Turner finally agreed to transfer CNN for 1.5 billion dollars.

With this, the entire plan was considered complete.

Coincidentally, there was an offshore company that wanted a large empty shell company.

Bain Capital, with investment, consulting, and mergers and acquisitions as its main business, needed to flexibly utilize its funds.

Acquiring CNN subsidiaries, North America Tower, and the shares of CNN's minority shareholders all required a large amount of capital.

And to buy CNN, they needed at least 1.5 billion dollars.

Romney looked at North America Tower's financial statements. Although the assets were 800 million dollars and the liabilities were 900 million dollars, the tower's income was a long-term project that would definitely make a profit in three to five years. Unfortunately, Bain Capital couldn't afford to wait.

He immediately made an offer: 100 million dollars for a 35% stake and 250 million dollars to take over the public shares.

And, by selling North America Tower Company, they could also transfer the special means of obtaining the major shareholder position.

After all, with Bain Capital acquiring CNN, they still had to rely on Turner to operate it.

And the original major shareholder they killed was actually Turner's nephew, just like a plot written by TEP.

Afterwards.

TEP's offshore company account received 150 million dollars. Bain Capital delayed and delayed, deducting 100 million dollars and transferring it to North America Tower Company, which was already under their control.

According to Romney's plan, the next step was to take over CNN.

But unexpectedly.

CNN founder Ted Turner secretly merged CNN into the world's largest media conglomerate, "Time Warner," becoming its subsidiary, and Turner also became a director of Time Warner.Following that, Turner approached him, expressing his intention to repurchase 'North America Tower Company'.

Romney, unable to acquire CNN and not wanting to offend them, especially with Time Warner backing them, immediately presented the plan for TEP to acquire North America Tower. He inadvertently revealed the cause of his nephew's death.

As expected, the stubborn old man Turner fell for it.

Unfortunately, Romney, fearing exposure, dared not provide substantial evidence.

Therefore, Turner arranged for CNN reporters to besiege the North America Tower Company building.

In response, the Chairman of North America Tower Company, James, citing reasons such as lightning strikes, strong winds, and heavy rain damaging signal towers and relay stations, cut off CNN's broadcast signal.

With the situation escalating to this point, there was no way to back down.

"TEP, I'm sorry, I want to be governor."

………………

The information recorded by the Boston Police Department was certainly not this detailed.

But in North America, there is a profession called detective.

And there are even state-level detectives.

Spies can't disguise themselves as non-ordinary units, but they can consult on the bloody case triggered by the acquisition of North America Tower.

After Xu Fei received the organized information, he convened the military advisor group, which had grown stronger after the departure of Principal Liu He.

Everyone pondered over the matter with a Chinese mindset...

"Factory Director, we have two plans now. One is to maximize our own interests, and the other is to completely extricate ourselves from this quagmire."

"How to extricate ourselves?"

"Ask our acquaintance in the Boston Police Department to immediately arrest Romney, the founder of Bain, and search for evidence of him murdering Turner's nephew. Then, in the form of a public announcement, state that TEP was only the client and was unaware of the acquisition's inside story. We are also victims.

However, doing so, we still can't hold onto North America Tower, because behind CNN is Time Warner. They will definitely take the tower project. In such a large-scale capital game, the Boston Police Department can't play a big role. Moreover, we are only acquaintances with them, not insiders."

"Arresting Romney might be difficult. He has already resigned and can completely use the person in charge of Bain Capital as a shield." Xu Fei thought for a moment, "What about maximizing our own interests?"

"Black Hundred eats everything."

"Huh?"

"According to the information provided by the Boston Police Department, Bain Capital, officially known as Bain Consulting Company, has absolute control over many industries. Even 'Time Warner' itself probably doesn't know that its Warner Records has been infiltrated by Bain.

In addition, Bain also controls a chain restaurant company called Burger King, and a chain toy retail experience store called Toys R Us. As for the other small companies it controls, and the private funds it manages, they are countless."

"Tell me the plan."

"Start a cooperation with Bain, join forces to fight against CNN, and ask for certain benefits, such as taking over the Toys R Us retail stores to expand the North American market. If they don't agree, and we are attacked by CNN and Time Warner, we can send our protective forces to directly destroy them. After all, we at TEP are not lacking."

"......"

Do you guys have more confidence than me?
