The Wolf of Los Angeles.
Chapter 661 Which Side of Interest Does It Matter?
The World One Tower project embodies all the hopes of the Tung Group for breaking through social barriers.
Currently, Mr. Dong's total net worth, excluding bank debts, is close to 30 billion US dollars.
Mr. Dong used the method of inheritance, along with decades of hard work, to accumulate this wealth.
In contrast, for Hawke Osment, these were just a fraction of the subsidies he received from California and the federal government.
Mr. Dong finally realized that hard work and struggle are no match for deception and fraud.
With role models like Hawke Osment right before us, we must learn from them.
Mr. Dong said, "I plan to hold another promotional event to attract more partners by leveraging the name of World One Tower."
Everyone in the office knew that the partners he was referring to included not only real estate, but also the election.
At this point, Inee interjected, "Are we going to make an announcement to the public?"
Looking at the calendar, Dong said, "It's almost time. I'm going to officially announce my candidacy for the Elephant Party's internal candidate competition."
Weisel said, "Now is the perfect time. Tom Emer is embroiled in scandals, and his rash targeting of the Walker and Cheney families has caused him to lose the support of established forces. The successful operation to kill Ben Laden could have reversed his decline, but the Democrats' sabotage has ruined his reputation. The illegitimate child scandal is an even bigger blow, and it will cause him to lose the trust of voters."
Dong nodded repeatedly and said, "The analysis is very accurate. This term is a great opportunity. The party can bring Tom Emerson down, and Joseph on the Democratic Party side is also in a lot of trouble."
Eni reminded him, "Dad, you're a political novice with no prior experience."
"Society is changing rapidly, so these things are not important." Mr. Dong has his own judgment: "We may not find a better opportunity than we do now."
He laughed: "This isn't the first time I've announced my candidacy. Every time, they treat me like a joke, like a clown trying to attract attention. This time will be no exception. Let them laugh all they want. When we win, they won't be laughing anymore."
McKendi chimed in, "Unfortunately, we didn't catch Krish."
Inee reminded him again, "Tom Emerson also has the backing of the Los Angeles Group, and Hawke Osment is quite difficult to deal with."
Upon hearing this name, Mr. Dong also felt a bit of a headache. After a long while, he said, "I will talk to Hawke personally."
He couldn't help but glance at his daughter, wondering if Hawke Osment would mind having multiple mistresses.
Inee noticed her father's subtle actions and suddenly had a bad feeling.
She is not the only descendant of the Dong family; she has other brothers and sisters. Would her father want to sacrifice himself for the sake of the family's development?
Enni quickly changed the subject, saying, "This weekend, Eric Ethan's biopic about Hillary Clinton will have preview screenings in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York. I heard from friends who saw the previews that a significant portion of the film involves Joseph and the Donald Party."
Mr. Dong pondered for a moment and said, "Hawk Osment's foundation invested in this movie. Now that Epstein has been attacked in the Los Angeles federal prison, the public is discussing whether the Donald Party and Joseph are the masterminds behind it. The movie is scheduled to be released at this time, so it will definitely attract a lot of attention."
Weissell had seen the news: "I heard that tickets for the film's preview screenings are in high demand and short supply, and scalpers have already started reselling tickets in Los Angeles."
Mr. Dong was not surprised at all: "Have you noticed that the entire saga of Joseph and Epstein's love-hate relationship is under Hawke Osment's control?"
McKendi continued, "The biopic 'Seraphim' is about to be released and will be competing for the Oscars. Just at this time, the Epstein attack broke out, and public opinion almost unanimously pointed to Joseph, Seraphim's running mate in the last election, as the mastermind behind it. The impact of these events is not one plus one, but several times."
He suggested to Mr. Dong, "If there is even the slightest possibility, we should try to win the support of the Los Angeles Group, led by Hawke Osmond and Brian Ferguson."
After the brief meeting, Mr. Dong kept his daughter, Yini, behind and talked with her for a long time.
When Inee left, she didn't look too good; her father had a sudden thought.
Previously, the plan was to arrange a marriage between her and a Jewish family in order to gain the support of the Jewish community.
Now they've discovered that Hawke Osment is more crucial, and they want her to become Hawke Osment's mistress.
At her age, Inee couldn't understand why she had to sacrifice her own happiness for the sake of her family's business.
Why can't her other siblings? Just because her mother and father divorced early?
…………
Chandler Hall, Los Angeles Music Center.
That afternoon, hundreds of media reporters gathered here.
The film "Silali" is about to premiere.
Huge posters of Sylvia Chang, played by Meryl Streep, and Richard Lindstone, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, were hung between the four pillars in the center of Chandler Hall.
Thousands of people gathered in the square in front of the hall.
These people include not only movie fans, but also members of various social groups.
Organizations such as the Mattressin Association, the National Association for the Protection of Minorities, and the California Children's Association all put up posters and banners.
"Investigate thoroughly the masterminds behind the Epstein-St. James Island incident!"
"Joseph, you're a grandfather too, why don't you turn yourself in?"
"The Democrats will drag America into the abyss!"
From the very beginning, this film made its political stance clear. The previously released publicity and trailers further demonstrated to the world that "Silali" focuses on the darkest and most vile aspects of the Democratic Party.
Politics has never been far from Hollywood; in fact, it has long been inextricably linked to it.
Over the years, many politically charged films have won the Academy Award for Best Picture.
Hollywood is undoubtedly at the forefront of exporting American ideology.
This applies not only to external affairs but also to internal affairs.
Twitter's live stream has temporarily focused on "ordinary people".
The host, accompanied by a photographer, interviewed them one by one.
The script was written and had been rehearsed many times. At this moment, these ordinary people were saying all sorts of seductive words.
Those monsters from the Mattersin Association and the National Association for the Protection of Minorities have been throwing all sorts of mudslinging at the Democratic Party and Joseph.
The premiere was nothing short of a chaotic mess.
On the second floor of Chandler Hall, Hawke sat by the window, sipping tea and watching the spectacle outside.
Across from him, Musk kept his eyes fixed on those monsters and demons, clicking his tongue in amazement: "The American election is truly a unique phenomenon in human history."
Hawke shared a similar view, but deliberately asked, "How so?"
Musk picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said slowly, "Take a closer look at these people... How reliable can the president they elect be? To be honest, they'd be better off issuing voter registration cards to my dog and cat, since my dog and cat never do drugs or get drunk."
Without a doubt, the following group of voters cannot do it.
Hawke put down his teacup and said, "Votershippers aren't just the living, they're the dead too." "The dead can vote?" Musk was surprised at first, then understood: "Indeed, it's the world's biggest variety show."
Cheers erupted below as the red carpet ceremony began.
The lead actors, Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep, were the first to appear, walking down the red carpet one after the other.
To match the movie character, the latter specially wore a professional suit.
Sylvester Stallone walked side by side with Arnold Schwarzenegger, with whom he had just collaborated on "The Expendables".
Both of them are well-known right-wing figures in Hollywood.
Of course, the so-called right and left wings can change at any time.
Scarlett Johansson, who once campaigned for left-wing candidates, also appeared on the red carpet.
There are also many bigwigs from the academy.
These people, like Mr. Dong, change their stance according to their interests.
In the 1990s, Dong Zong was a staunch leftist who humbled himself before the Lucas and Hillary Clinton couple, willingly serving as their pawn or a lackey.
In his previous life, Hawke had read about the American smut literature by Jack Dunn and Dong Zong on the internet, and it was described in great detail.
It is said that Mr. Dong and Mr. Lattice had contact that went beyond ordinary friendship in their early years, and this contact was initiated by Mr. Dong. During the process, he even bit Mr. Lattice.
The most damning thing is that there is supposedly physical evidence, and the photos have even fallen into the hands of the goose's boss.
Now that Epstein is under Hawke's control, he is determined to cooperate with the Los Angeles authorities, and Hawke has also sent people to try to uncover these super secrets to see if they are true.
Hawke also has a gossipy side and enjoys watching the drama unfold.
Today, Mr. Dong is a staunch right-winger. He has not only abandoned his former owners, Layton and Sylvie, but is also preparing to personally take to the field.
"Harvey's here too?" Musk asked with a hint of surprise when he saw the large, fat man. "Isn't he the white glove for Zippo and Sillaly?"
Hawke had heard Leonardo mention it and said, "Leonardo sent him an invitation, and he accepted."
Musk, being so shrewd, immediately grasped the key point: "You don't have any dirt on him, do you?"
"I think so?" It's no wonder Hawke almost forgot about Harvey, after all, Harvey, this so-called big shot, only targeted the Hollywood circle.
Once outside of Hollywood, Harvey wasn't good enough to warrant Hawke's special attention.
Tom Cruise and Eric Ethan also entered Chandler Hall one after the other.
Hawke glanced at his watch, stood up, and said, "It's about time, let's go downstairs."
“Let’s go.” Musk followed him downstairs, changing the subject as they walked: “The delivery deadline for India’s imported satellite order is approaching, are you ready?”
Hawke said with a smile, "We were already prepared."
As Musk has learned more about Indians in recent years, he, like Hawke, has developed prejudices against them, warning, "If you give them the satellites, it will be very difficult to get the final payment back?"
Hawke thought for a moment and said simply, "For some key components, we will only ship the goods after the final payment is received."
Musk gave a thumbs up: "Good idea, we can't be soft on the Indians."
This batch of satellites was not just a trade order; it also served as bait for Hawke. By using satellite orders worth tens of billions of dollars, West Coast Technologies managed to get India to pay the balance for most of its orders for goods such as individual soldier transport vehicles and office software.
It is impossible to get the Indians to pay in full.
Especially with the satellite delivery imminent, the Indians have started to delay again.
Upon descending to the first floor and entering the VIP room, everyone came over to greet Hawke.
A circle automatically formed around Hawke.
Schwarzenegger, who has divorced his ex-wife, is now completely aligned with the Elephant Party and told Hawke directly, "I've mobilized my friends, and they'll cast their votes for this biographical film at this year's Oscars."
"Thank you," Hawke said politely, adding, "Arnold, 'The Expendables' was very well made, a typical Hollywood action movie."
The most striking feature was that the Americans believed the locals were under a dictatorship, so they directly used force and even set a large fire at the dock.
Whether the locals will die, or whether the islanders' lives will be affected by the loss of the pier, are not within the scope of the film.
For the sake of freedom and democracy, the deaths and the destruction of infrastructure are all worthwhile.
Someone once said that Hollywood action movies are like this: they come, they explode, they leave, leaving behind a pile of ruins.
Sylvester Stallone leaned over and said, "We're already planning the second one."
Hawke casually remarked, "I could have a good talk with my foundation manager."
With the prospect of securing investment in mind, Stallone was in high spirits and went straight to Roger Keane.
The two quickly reached an agreement on Oscar voting and film investment.
Although Sylvester Stallone may not win a major Oscar, he has been in the film industry for over 30 years and has an exceptionally wide network of connections. In addition to being an actor, he is also a member of the Directors Guild and the Producers Guild.
Harvey Weinstein followed Leonardo DiCaprio closely. When he saw that Hawke was alone, he quickly went up to shake Hawke's hand and said with a smile, "I saw the preview screening. Eric's new film will definitely become a classic and be engraved in Hollywood film history."
In public, Hawke was still very considerate, smiling as he said, "The information you sent played an important role in the filming and production of this movie."
Hearing this, Harvey felt a sense of relief.
There was no way around it; the other party held many of his secrets. Let alone taking action personally, he couldn't handle it if they just sent Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise, those two dogs, to attack him.
To be utterly disgraced is the most optimistic estimate; the worst-case scenario is that he might end up in prison with Epstein.
Or he was killed by suicide.
It is precisely because of this concern that Harvey has temporarily shelved a black-and-white silent film that he acquired from France this year, intending to release it next year.
He knew very well that after next year's election, Hawke would lose interest in the Oscars.
After Harvey left, Rooney Chasen, director of Full Speed PR, chatted with Hawke for a few minutes.
Hawke, having heard from Leonardo about Harvey's message that the black-and-white silent film wouldn't be made, asked, "Who is this year's strongest competitor?" (End of Chapter)
