Chapter 334 Meeting
President Cheng disappeared these few days to avoid disaster and to make arrangements for the future, but many people around him were not aware of this.

As the actual controller of more than a dozen companies, Mr. Cheng's daily work has been disrupted recently. In addition to fighting with Achilles in the air, he cannot delay his career.

Especially since MAS and UCLA have just reached a cooperation, and their West Coast Breakthrough Media Institute has cost five million dollars to set up. Although Lisa is the one who is promoting this matter, Cheng has to attend it when the time comes.

The name of the West Coast Breakthrough Media Institute sounds very impressive, and it has the UCLA sign behind it. Mr. Cheng is very optimistic about the potential of this platform, so he integrated his ADE (Amercian Dream Educatiom) short video content creation training into this platform.

This is called empowerment. As to whether there is real empowerment, this is actually impossible to answer.

MAS is already the most successful MAN organization on TIKTOK, and the West Coast Breakthrough Media Institute established by President Cheng is even the first organization in the United States that focuses on short video dissemination and content. With all these added together, the series of companies and models under Cheng Daqi are already the most advanced representatives in the short video field.

Of course, the construction and maintenance of the system requires costs. Cheng Daiqi spent five million dollars for this so-called reputation and authority, and will invest more in the future.

But it is worth it, after all, the future prospects of short videos are extremely broad - and the costs do not necessarily have to be borne by yourself.

Today is the day when the West Coast Breakthrough Media Research Institute is officially launched. President Cheng brought Lisa to the old factory given to him by Sheriff Gru.

"You spent $3 million out of $5 million on renovations, Chan. You really know how to spend money. If those UCLA people knew that you spent all the money here, they would definitely not be so enthusiastic to come."

"Lisa, you don't understand. The environment is also very important. I plan to continue investing in the future. This place can become both a creative center and a laboratory for a media research institute."

The old factory has been transformed into a beautiful art creation center. At this moment, a young UCLA teacher with academic ideals is talking about his project on the stage, while Mr. Cheng and Lisa are fishing in the audience.

"Continue to invest? How much more do you want to burn?"

Lisa doesn't really manage the company's accounts, but as the chief steward of MAS, she knows where every penny of the company's money goes.

“MAS is now in a period of rapid expansion, Chan. I understand your expectations here, but why don’t you wait until the next round of financing or after profits stabilize before expanding investment?

Academic research and exploration have little to do with a small company like ours. Even OC is just a little bit of a name, and we haven’t really invested too much money.”

Lisa's idea is actually very correct. The so-called professionalism, authority, and technical strength are sometimes not that important in the business field. MAS, like OC, is not a giant and has not yet reached the stage of exploring the boundaries of technology.

"It's not me who pays. What do you think of advertisers? I think there will be great room for cooperation between the West Coast Breakthrough Media Institute and them. I'll build the stage, they'll pay a little, and we'll all watch the show together."

"Advertisers do have this kind of demand. You spent two million to get UCLA's endorsement, and then sold it to advertisers, asking them to contribute a bit. Chan, you really are suited to being a capitalist!"

Lisa knew that Mr. Cheng’s idea was actually very feasible. After all, top advertisers also attached great importance to professionalism. As a third-party agency, they also needed to gain the favor of the first party with their professionalism.

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. It seems that Cheng Daiqi can really succeed for free.

"Ms. Lisa, I'd like you to pay more attention to which advertising companies to contact, hahaha."

Lisa curled her lips. Just then the guy on the stage who was asking for money for the project had finished speaking, so she said to Mr. Cheng.

"Well, they want a budget of $200,000. More than 40 people came today. Chan, it's only two million. How are you going to divide it?"

Another person from UCLA came up to the stage and opened his PPT. Mr. Cheng smiled bitterly and replied.

"First, select a few that look interesting, give them some start-up capital, and let them do it. We will continue to raise money."

Lisa couldn't help it anymore, she complained.

"We also need to recruit graduate students. Graduate students also have projects and need money. Chan, your operation has put a lot of pressure on our cash flow."

Breakthrough Media Institute is a cooperative institution of UCLA, and Mr. Cheng’s MAS, as the cooperative entity, is just a small company. Normally, Breakthrough Media Institute cannot recruit graduate students, but Mr. Cheng grabbed some places from UCLA and planned to train talents for his own company.

But the money has to be paid by MAS, and UCLA will not provide a single cent of the funding.

The butler had spoken, and President Cheng did not dare to act rashly. It was he who pushed MAS to accelerate its expansion, so naturally he needed to be responsible.

"It can last at least three months. There's no rush. I can easily raise tens of millions more from MAS by then."

President Cheng gave Lisa a reassurance, but looking at the blonde's expression, she seemed uneasy about taking the reassurance.
-
"He said he would give me 50 million dollars, but I haven't seen the money yet. He tricked us into killing the Ferboles, but it turned out that the Ferboles were recruited by that bitch. Jax, it's a good thing you asked Eris to do it.

Hahahaha, now he tells me that Niu Sen might not save me, what is he thinking?
I guess he was anxious, or scared, and the two gunmen were useful. Although they failed to kill him, they at least made him realize his own strength. "

Sheriff Gru had many complaints about President Cheng, but the only thing he was not qualified to say was that President Cheng refused to pay him. It had only been a few days, so there was no need to rush.

After all, Eris hadn't received the 20 million yet, and they hadn't settled the 8 million they promised to give Eris. These people were wary of each other and were slow to pay.

If the payment for Eris' work could be paid faster, would Dessel be so angry?

What Eris saw was an opportunity for rapid advancement in that vortex, while what Dessel saw was that Eris would go hungry nine times out of three days while hanging out with Cheng Daiqi and Gru.

"Boss, is there a possibility that Niu Sen will protect us but not you? Think about it."

Jax and Gru never hide anything from each other and always say whatever they think. From his perspective, looking at the recent chaos in Saint-Lo, he is very worried that Gru will be liquidated by many forces.

"Touch me? Ha, they don't have the guts!
That Assistant Commissioner of Forbes, Mr. Hutt, made a big fuss about our law enforcement procedures. Ha, that was the only problem he raised, the only one, do you understand? "

Many things are not suitable to be discussed openly during a game, and Gru firmly believes in this rule.

Sheriff Gru's perspective is this: If Foberle finds problems with his LAPD's law enforcement procedures, that is, the matter of arresting Steven, then they can just slowly wade through the arguments and fight it out.

If Foberle investigates the white and black gangs within the LAPD and the illegal businesses that Gru has been and is doing, it will cause turmoil throughout California.

Yes, I, Gru, have broken the law, but do you dare to investigate?
My subordinates are all police officers, and now the number has rapidly expanded to more than 2,000 people - Gru listened to General Cheng's suggestion of "expanding the periphery and streamlining the core". In short, can a black police group of more than 2,000 people be easily investigated?
What if you investigate me and find a huge hole?
This is where Gru’s confidence comes from. He is the tumor in America. If he is cut off, America will also feel pain!
"Boss, what if, what if Niu Sen is unreliable?
That man has clearly pointed out the kidnapping case on Red Street last year, and this matter is related to us, so we can’t investigate it further.”

“No ifs!
You still don't understand why I dare to turn against those two Sand Dollars, because I am a member of the California Gang, and I have you under my command, so I have the capital and strength.

Yes, my marriage with the California Gang is just a formality, I understand that, but the fact that Niu Sen married that thing to me shows that I am useful to him.

What happened to that man?
He is a piece of shit!
If you touch me, you will affect the overall situation of California. If Niu Sen has any brains, he will not stand by and watch me die.

We will be fine, and those Foberos will just stay locked in the shadows and watch."

Achilles: I am the wave

Gru: The commander-in-chief is a piece of shit. I am the overall situation.
Sheriff Gru was full of arrogance, and he had the strength to tear his face off with Cheng Daiqi. "Also, the business we are doing now, whether it is bringing in people or selling some illegal drugs, is in line with the policies of the Donkey Party, Jax, this is why Niu Sen agreed to let me marry that bastard.

Niu Sen must hold his nose and respect me, Chan didn’t know this, he guessed wrong this time.”

Cheng Daiqi did not die from the shooting, Steven has been controlled, and Sheriff Gru is no longer as panicked as he was that rainy night. He is analyzing the situation clearly.

At this moment, he looked extremely professional.

"So you still want to see him?" Jax asked.

Gru hesitated. He kind of wanted to meet President Cheng. He missed this bitch a lot after not seeing him for a few days. Gru wanted to confront Cheng Daiqi about his ridiculous inferences in person.

"Forget it, forget it, let's go meet Achilles, he should be here soon."

Gru didn't hesitate for long before making his decision.

Jax was silent for a moment before finally asking.

“Boss, we captured Steven to show our strength to Achilles. After all, he did direct and act in the incident himself, and we know that.

But now you want to reconcile with Achilles, the purpose of this step is irrelevant, but reconciliation is what we decided from the beginning, why are you doing this, isn't it a bit unnecessary?"

"Unnecessary? Hahaha, you are wrong.

There was a big problem in the ABC kicking case before. Achilles might know the truth. I have been thinking about how to land smoothly if there is an accident.

Steven brought the evidence to our doorstep himself. All we have to do is make him admit that he staged and directed the entire incident. No matter what his purpose is, it will be our bargaining chip in the future fight against Foberle.

Hutt yelled loudly, but no matter how powerful Foberle was, could he be as powerful as the California Gang?

This is San Lodro, our LAPD territory, so we were able to withstand the pressure and surveillance from Furber and have Steven interrogated.

Seeing that I dare to arrest Steven, Hutt may have guessed that Steven really had problems—he was specially transferred from Missouri by Achilles, and he looked problematic, so Hutt would not let go of the process! "

The story was coherent, logical, and based on facts and common sense. Jax pondered over it for a long time and found that everything Gru said was right.

But he still had questions.

"The ABC kicking case was difficult to resolve because of Steven, and more fundamentally because of the internal strife in the Karamachris family. Why didn't we go directly to see Achilles at the time?"

Gru stopped talking. He lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.

"When it was confirmed that he was directing and starring, I felt like I saw an opportunity. Jax, to be honest, I didn't expect that man to be involved at first.

Looking back now, this matter has both good and bad sides. It was originally our bargaining chip, but it became very dangerous after the situation escalated.

There was no way to contact Achilles at the time, and things suddenly became so serious. As soon as that man opened his mouth, we were put on the spot. "

"Boss, you trust me a little bit..."

Gru raised his hand in dissatisfaction, interrupting Jax.

"We will be fine. The ABC kicking ball case is a proven fact. Steven has a problem.

I have the advantage. Let's meet Achilles first and then talk about other things."

In Gru's office, the two corrupt police chiefs looked at each other in silence, smoking silently. They were actually under a lot of pressure.

Gru listened to Jax's reminder, but just as the reality he explained stubbornly reflected, he was reluctant to accept his fate.

Sheriff Gru believed that he could fight his way out of this chaos that was so chaotic that he couldn't even see clearly.

--------

On the road in front of Dracula Manor, Mr. Cheng frowned and looked at the target in the rearview mirror.

After meeting Jax, he was actually spotted by Forbler.

This is too outrageous, is this the American East Factory?

"Chan, there's a car following us."

They had been driving on the one-way road for several minutes, and Lill was a little slow to react, but he was still quite reliable.

"What do you think if I stop the car and beat him up?"

"Let him follow, and keep driving."

President Cheng is not afraid of Fo Bole. These East Factory, West Factory and Jinyiwei of America sound powerful, but in fact they are just that. The Cold War has ended for many years, and only the CIA still has some power - the power to have no bottom line and to use any means necessary.

The FBI has a big name, but it cannot touch the capitalists after all. If the capitalists are still afraid of the FBI, is America still America?

Watching the car in front drive into a manor, Agent Foberer followed General Cheng to look at the map, and then found that there was no marking here.

After reporting to their superiors, they learned that this was Dracula's manor, and that this two-lane road was built privately. Faced with their superiors' orders to leave immediately, the two agents who were following General Cheng looked at each other in bewilderment.

The dog capitalists are indeed arrogant. The road in front of their homes is more beautiful than the highway. Their stalking must have been discovered.

Dracula is the top capital force that is controlled by both parties. It is impossible to investigate Dracula. What can they do?

I could only turn around and leave with a gloomy face.

In Dracula's manor, led by the servants, Mr. Cheng met Wolfe who had been waiting for him on the golf course.
