The Wolf of Los Angeles.

The blonde woman who was walking quickly was very tall, with a beautiful face made up with delicate makeup. Her fair skin was exposed in places not covered by her evening dress.

Although they are both white women, they are obviously more delicate and attractive than Anglo-Saxon women.

Hawke had seen many Mao girls, and he recognized her with a little identification. This was a Mao girl who was a little older.

Today's banquet was hosted by Condolee Rice in the name of the Secretary of State, who is in charge of diplomatic affairs and has invited many foreign envoys and their entourages to attend.

Mao Mei was obviously coming for Hawke. When she came closer, she nodded slightly to Musk, and then said to Hawke: "Hello, Mr. Osmond, I am Yelena Danilova, a civilian secretary at the Chinese Embassy in the United States."

Hawke gently shook her outstretched right hand and said politely, "Nice to meet you."

Yelena's smile was like the northern lights: "Can we talk for a few minutes alone?"

Hearing this, Musk next to him prepared to retreat.

Hawke said directly: "Men and women are different. Forget about chatting alone. If you have anything to say, you can say it here."

Musk's mind worked very quickly, and he was about to take a step forward, but then stopped.

Seeing that Hawke was unmoved, Yelena gave up the idea of ​​a private conversation and still maintained a polite smile. She said, "My father Mikhail works at Kaspersky's headquarters in Moscow. He is the deputy director of a high-level laboratory and has a lot of opinions about Twitter."

Hawke pretended to be confused: "I don't quite understand."

The Russians are rough and direct in their actions, and this woman is no exception: "Twitter and the FBI have slandered Kaspersky Lab out of thin air, seriously damaging Kaspersky's international reputation. My father is very angry about this matter. If you cannot take the initiative to clarify this matter, Kaspersky will take decisive action."

Every word mentioned Kaspersky, but Hawke knew that the Kaspersky she was talking about was not Kaspersky.

Hawke laughed and said, "I think you have found the wrong person. Twitter is just a commercial company. I am just a businessman. I do not have the authority to make a judgment on a wiretapping case."

Yelena said: "Kaspersky will sue Twitter in both Moscow and Los Angeles, and you will pay the price for this."

Hawke said seriously: "I believe that both Russian law and American law will give Twitter a fair and just result."

Once the AI ​​Manhattan Project passes the review of the appropriations committee, tens of billions of dollars will be in hand, and the legal team will be equipped with two lawyers, one to accompany the Russians in lawsuits, and the other to follow the Russians every day, beating drums and gongs and singing Katyusha.

The smile on Yelena's face never disappeared: "It seems that we can't reach an agreement on this matter."

Hawke said: "You can protest to the FBI through formal channels."

If the FBI's formal channels are effective, why would they use them to find you? Yelena had the urge to hit someone.

These bastards in America have ugly faces, are treacherous, and are full of lies. Even when they are exposed in front of others, they are not ashamed and continue to argue.

Hawke Osment is one of them.

Yelena felt that many politicians were more moral than the man in front of her.

There was suddenly something else in her smile: "You refused to reach a settlement with Kaspersky."

Hawke knew too well what kind of people the Russians were: ugly, treacherous, greedy, and violent.

It is better to believe that I am God than to believe in the Russians.

Hawke said, "I wonder if your job, Miss Secretary, involves collecting and transmitting some information?"

The smile on Yelena's face gradually disappeared.

Hawke seemed not to notice and continued, "It's really pitiful that a spy who has been training for more than ten years and lurking for nearly ten years has to carry out an absurd and suicidal mission just because a big shot wants to kowtow to America."

Yelena refuted: "Russia has never sent any spies to the United States."

Hawke ignored her and continued, "Maybe after today, the big shots over there will still not take the frontline personnel seriously and will send them to me again and again... Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that the FBI has sent many agents inside Twitter and around me."

"So be it, my friend." Yelena turned and left.

Musk looked at her back, especially her twisting hips, and said to Hawke, "Why do this?"

Hawke misunderstood his words and said, "Do you think it matters what I say to her? Unless I declare that all this is false, the Russians' attitude will not make any difference, but this is impossible. The spy is true, and it is also true that my company and plan have been seriously damaged."

He sighed and shook his head: "I can't lie against my conscience, right? Besides, I'm lying for the Russians."

"What you said makes a lot of sense." Musk agreed at first, then stared at Yelena who was walking away and said, "But the process can be gentler, such as getting along with her and trying to get some useful information from her..."

Hawke understood this time: "Is this what you've considered? Are you planning to enter the body and extract DNA information?"

Musk said with a serious face: "I do have such considerations. Now I am an American citizen. When national interests are violated, I should rush to the front and turn the swallows sent by the enemy against me."

Hawke frowned: "Are you sure you can incite rebellion?"

Musk said: "Let her give birth to my child, it will definitely be able to turn the tables."

Hawke patted him on the shoulder and said, "Man, we've only met once, and you've already thought of a name for your child."

Musk said, "I can't help it, because she fits my aesthetic." "Don't be a fangirl." Hawke forcibly changed the subject and asked, "What's going on at Tesla? I heard that you fired all the founding team members?"

Musk retracted his gaze and got down to business: "The differences in concepts about vehicle design and market launch cannot be bridged. They want to directly apply the electric system to MG cars. How is that different from an old-fashioned car? What Tesla is launching should be a groundbreaking new electric car."

He spread his hands and said: "I had many rounds of consultations with the founding team led by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning, but we could not reach an agreement. I had no choice but to use my majority shareholder power to kick them out of Tesla."

Hawke invested in Tesla last year, with shares originally held through West Coast Studios and now transferred to West Coast Investment Fund.

When Tesla's shareholders' meeting was held, Musk met with Hawke in advance, and Hawke and Peter Thiel directly and temporarily granted the voting rights of their shares to Musk.

"I hope you can build a new car that shocks the market." Hawke then asked, "When will Tesla conduct the next round of financing and share expansion?"

Musk said: "It will be soon. You are a major shareholder, and we will definitely notify you in advance."

Hawke saw Hearst waving from a distance, and Johnny McCain was nearby.

He said something to Musk, walked over quickly, shook hands with McCain, and said, "Congressman, thank you for your support for Twitter and the AI ​​Manhattan Project."

McCain said with a smile: "Twitter's internal computing model also helped me collect a lot of data from front-line voters and improved my laboratory data model."

Hawke smiled: "I hope you get what you want this time."

McCain added: "I wish Twitter success with its AI Manhattan Project."

The two sides chatted for a while and then left.

Hurst accompanied Hawke to meet the British and Australian ambassadors again.

The banquet lasted until ten o'clock in the evening, when Hawke left the banquet hall and returned to the hotel where he was staying.

Musk waved at him from a distance and left with a woman.

Hawke could see clearly that it was not that Yelena.

This guy talks a lot but doesn't dare to try it easily.

Many embassy military attachés, counselors, secretaries and other staff often have to take on some residential and contact work as well.

It's almost an open secret.

Hawke's trip to Washington is basically over and he is preparing to return to Los Angeles.

Before leaving, he specifically found a real estate manager recommended by Hearst and asked him to find a suitable house.

Hawke will travel to Washington frequently in the future, and if Erica's time permits, he will bring her with him, so he needs a fixed residence.

The property manager recommended two houses. Hawke went to see them, but was not satisfied with either one. He could only wait until his next visit to decide.

There are also companies here that continue to launch new high-end residences.

…………

Hawke returned to Los Angeles and took time out to meet with Aziz and Otaiba.

You may not respect them as people or as beliefs, but you must respect the money in their hands.

One of these two people comes from a top official family in Malaysia, and the other is from the side of the "real prince" of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

In Hawke's eyes, the two men had money symbols clearly visible above their heads.

Hawke had never heard of Aziz, who came to Hollywood to invest, but he had an impression of another wealthy Malaysian investor.

That guy's name is Liu Zuote, a real money man.

Liu Zuote is also a female celebrity stamp collector. He once threw a philatelic stamp at Milada Kerr, and the two almost got engaged.

Later, Kim Kardashian spent the night with Paris Hilton and spent a huge sum of money to win Lindsay Lohan.

He also spent millions to decorate the venue on the beach and confessed his love to the fresh meat harvester Elva Hsiao. It is unknown whether anything happened between the two.

Hawke would not use his own money to make movies, but the film industry has a huge influence on public opinion, and he also needs some movies like "Los Angeles Fire".

"You two, Hollywood movies are popular all over the world now." Hawke was thinking of using the chicken to lay eggs: "An excellent movie can not only make investors a lot of profits, but also create public opinion for publicity."

Aziz doesn't care, the money in his hands is not used to promote Malaysia.

Hawke's main target is Otaiba: "For example, my friend Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible movies are shot in the best cities around the world, and I think Abu Dhabi is a good location."

Otaiba knew that promoting the city was more important than simply investing in movies, and said, "I will contact His Royal Highness the Prince and convey your intention to cooperate." (End of this chapter)
