The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Walking in from the office, Brian's face was flushed and he looked full of energy, as if he was a different person.

He held a document and placed it on Hawke's desk: "Take a look."

Hawke glanced at the densely packed letters and asked, "What is this?"

Bryan said simply: "It's part of the economic development plan drawn up by the new governor's office."

Hawke understood: "Reward according to merit."

"That's right." Brian pulled out a chair and sat across from the desk, saying, "Policy support, financial assistance, tax credits, etc., a group of companies will be on the list. The top priorities are Fox Television, Pacific Investment Group, and Long-Term Capital Management. The former supported Arnold at a critical moment, and the latter two are Arnold's main sponsors."

Pacific Investment Group is owned by the Ferguson family.

Hawke asked, "Long-Term Capital Management? I haven't heard much about it."

Brian introduced: "The founder is Peter Thiel, who mainly invests in Silicon Valley. He and Elon Musk and others founded the digital mobile payment company PayPal, which was sold to eBay last year for $15 billion."

Hawke heard a familiar name.

But he didn't ask any more questions. He was still burning money, so it was useless to ask other questions. He got back to the point: "What about me?"

Brian understood and smiled, saying, "Twitter is among the second-priority companies."

He elaborated: "Arnold will launch the Governor's Economic Development Plan, which will invest up to $7.5 million annually to support target business groups. Twitter, as a second-level support target, will enjoy research subsidies, employment subsidies, high-tech talent training subsidies, broadband server subsidies, office space subsidies, etc."

Hawke was not satisfied: "Anything else?"

"Of course." Brian continued: "Twitter can apply for a $2000 million interest-free loan through a financing project led by the California Department of Finance."

He looked at Hawke and said, "Other job creation tax credits, California competition tax credits, sales and use tax exemptions, etc. Once this plan is finalized, let your finance and accounting staff study it carefully."

Hawke nodded. Tax deductions can increase corporate revenue, subsidies are equivalent to giving money in disguise, and who doesn’t like interest-free loans?
No wonder everyone likes collusion between officials and businessmen. Once they win in the political struggle, the benefits are huge.

He carefully looked at the documents Brian brought. Not counting the interest-free loans and tax incentives, just the subsidy part, as long as Twitter develops normally, it can apply for tens of millions of dollars in California financial subsidies every year.

Interests determine the buttocks, and the buttocks determine the position. Hawke can now make it clear that Schwarzenegger is a good governor.

What falls into your hands is the benefit. Hawke asked directly: "When will it be implemented?"

Brian said: "Arnold has taken office as governor and is pushing it hard. I estimate that the state legislature will pass it in July. This was part of Gray Davis' resignation agreement."

He suddenly laughed: "Gray Davis will temporarily withdraw from politics due to pressure. Guess which industry he plans to develop in?"

"Publish a book? Give a speech?" Hawke had guessed the ways politicians often make money, and couldn't help but frowned: "You're not going to Hollywood, are you?"

Brian smiled even more brightly: "You guessed it right, I got accurate information that Gray Davis plans to enter Hollywood for the time being."

Hawke was somewhat surprised: "A Hollywood star grabbed the governor's seat, while his predecessor dumped his political baggage and turned to Hollywood."

Brian added: "And the speed is amazing. It is said that Gray Davis has contacted Sony Columbia Pictures and is ready to test the waters in the series "Yes, Darling" first."

Hawke thought of another possibility: "It seems that the donkeys have given up on Gray Davis."

Brian nodded: "Yes, that should be the case. I guess we won't invest any more resources in him."

There was a knock on the office door, and Edward came in. He greeted Brian first and said, "Boss, an assistant of Arnold Schwarzenegger is here."

Hawke went to the reception room and met a middle-aged man named Daniel Ketchel.

Daniel came here this time mainly to deliver an invitation on behalf of Schwarzenegger, inviting Hawke to attend a party this weekend.

Hawke sent the man away and returned to the office. Brian glanced at the invitation and said, "I got it too."

"Victory party?" Hawke asked.

Brian said, "It should be a thank-you party."

The two chatted for some time, discussing some of the latest news about the disappearance.

The case is over. The LAPD handed it over to the FBI, and the FBI also came to a clear conclusion.

As for the missing girls, they may be completely forgotten by the world.

…………

San Fernando Valley, a neighborhood of single-family homes.

Irene drove to a single-family house, pressed the remote control to open the garage, and drove the car directly in.

She closed the garage door, carried her bag into the house, opened the door to the basement, waited for a moment, then turned on the light and went downstairs.

Arriving in the basement, Irene quickly found the tool cabinet that her boyfriend Guerrero had mentioned.

The cabinet was large and had a mezzanine floor. She followed her boyfriend's instructions and opened the compartment, where she found a large sum of cash, most of which were old $20 bills.

There were a few boxes nearby, and Irene took them out and opened them one by one.

Some boxes contain gold jewelry, and some contain gold watches, all of which are items that can be easily converted into cash.

Finally, she looked at the box sealed in a plastic bag, opened it and found some photos, a memory disk and text materials inside.

Irene looked through the photos and found the contents extremely disturbing.

There are women and children in the photos, all of whom are suffering from inhuman torture.

Some of the men who tortured her looked familiar. After packing the items, Aileen first thought of calling the police, but as soon as the thought came to her mind, she gave up.

Boyfriend Guerrero committed suicide by jumping off a building!
Everything was just as they said before they separated.

Both the FBI and LAPD ruled it a suicide.

There must be something fishy going on here, and neither of them can be trusted.

Thinking of this, Irene's eyes turned red. She was still studying and still believed in love.

Guerrero couldn't just die like this.

Ailin looked at the information in her hand and wiped away the tears falling from her eyes.

Before leaving that day, Guerrero had told him to find an online media and mail the stuff to them.

It was obvious that my boyfriend was prepared for this.

Irene thought carefully about online media and suddenly remembered Twitter. It seemed that this website was particularly bold and had exposed the indecent video of wealthy daughter Paris Hilton some time ago.

Further ahead are Will Smith and his wife.

Erin decided to give it a try by mailing it to Twitter.

Although the girl, who was still in school, anticipated the possible danger, her eyes were too clear and her thoughts were too simple.

She didn't even make a copy of the material.

Eileen found Twitter's news delivery email address on the Internet and bought a mail package to seal these things.

She packed up her valuables, left the house with them, drove north to Santa Clarita, found a suitable mailbox, and delivered the mail.

…………

Century City, Fox Television Center.

Harley Wayne sat in her cubicle, staring at the paper in front of her.

There were several names written on it, two of which she circled: Bro Derek and Guerrero Ente.

Both committed suicide.

There are no such coincidences in the world. The disappearance case of the superstar training school was exposed, and the two previous and current heads committed suicide one after another. All the blame fell on these two dead people.

The FBI announced such an outrageous investigation result of the case, but all mainstream media not only did not question it, but remained silent.

Are those missing girls still alive? Where are they? Or where are their bodies?
Nobody cares.

Even Fox News, which exposed the incident, no longer reports this news.

Halle didn't give up, but she knew Fox wouldn't support her.

She also fully understood the dangers from the two people who committed suicide.

If people are taught with words, perhaps their growth rate will not be particularly fast.

But things can teach people and always make them grow quickly.

Harry was more cautious than before.

If you want to investigate this clearly and make the world remember those missing girls, you must first ensure your own safety.

This filthy world is like a monster that eats people without leaving any bones.

Halle didn't go to Gretchen, she didn't go to Roger Ailes.

As an investigative reporter, she now only trusts herself.

…………

Hyatt Regency Beverly Hills.

A Bay Area consulting firm team led by Emma Bateson has been staying here for several days.

These days, they do a lot of market research on Twitter.

There are other companies operating similar social networks in North America, but their user numbers and responses are far less than Twitter.

For Emma, ​​who mainly develops her business in Silicon Valley, it is not difficult to judge that this company has great market potential.

In addition, the shareholder structure of Twitter was also put before the team.

Excluding the negligible black shareholders, there are only three major shareholders: West Coast Media Entertainment Studios, an investment company from the Cayman Islands, and Pacific Investment Group.

In the meeting room, assistant Isabella said: "All signs show that the shares of the first two should be held by Hawke Osmond. According to our understanding, Hawke Osmond signed a bet investment agreement with Pacific Investment Group in the early days of Twitter. Hawke eventually won the agreement and holds more than 67% of the absolute controlling rights."

Emma asked: "Is there any sign that he is currently in contact with other investment institutions?"

"No." Another assistant said, "According to the news from Sacramento, Twitter has been included in the development plan list of the new state government and will soon receive high subsidies and large interest-free loans."

Emma thought for a moment and said, “I’ll find an opportunity to contact Hawke privately and see what the situation is.”

Isabella said: "He will attend a party this weekend." (End of this chapter)
