Chapter 344 Holding United Airlines
"Honey, are you okay!" Sitting in the car heading to the hotel, Adelaide asked with concern as she pressed her hand on his chest.
"I just thought of something, it's okay." Li Zitao smiled, keeping his troubles to the bottom of his heart.
What happened in Huaguo during this period of time made him feel depressed all the time.
Li Zitao doesn't want to affect everyone's mood because of this, Hualian is also actively responding.
The Manchurian Incident happened as scheduled.
Hualian's investment in the three northeastern provinces has gradually accelerated, hiring Chinese laborers on a large scale, and providing them with a relatively safe environment.
As for how much he can help, Li Zitao has no idea.
The poor in the United States have various charitable organizations and humanitarian organizations to help, but who should they count on for the 400 million compatriots?
I believe that it won't be long before the changes in the Far East will attract international attention.
At that time, I don’t know how many people will choose to travel across the ocean to return to serve the country. "Give them some help then!"
The guests moved to the hotel, and during the lively dance, Jonathan and his new wife kept wandering in small circles.
The atmosphere reached its peak when Lawrence unveiled a statue of the two made of white chocolate.
At the reception, Li Zitao met many people, and also met Robert F. Liu, the former president of United Airlines who "resigned from the table" not long ago.
"Robert, I heard that some unpleasant things happened between you and Rush?" Li Zitao walked forward with his fiancée.
"Charlie, you should think more about the reaction of the market. People are tired of war, especially the people of the United States." Robert said with a dark face.
Of course Li Zitao understands this point. Before World War II, Congress and Washington debated countless times about whether the United States would participate in the war.
The anti-war sentiment among the people was as high as a storm, and Roosevelt, who was regarded as a "savior" by the American people, had to succumb to this pressure.
"Robert, do you have a gun at home?" Li Zitao asked back.
"Of course." Robert nodded as he should.
The Second Amendment states that no one can deprive people of their freedom to bear arms.
This is the law that every American knows, and it is the freedom given to them by the Constitution.
"Have you ever used them? I mean except for hunting." Li Zitao asked again.
"No, although I have a lot of weapons, I hope I will never use them." This is the thinking of most of the American people.
Hearing his affirmative answer, Li Zitao smiled, raised his glass and said, "Me too."
Robert understood what he meant. Weapons are the guarantee of 'safety and freedom', but it doesn't mean that they must be used.
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. Can you understand its meaning?" Watching Li Zitao's leaving back, Robert's expression changed, and he didn't know whether to believe what he said.
...
...
Soon, the acquisition of United Airlines officially started.
Rush persuaded other employee equity representatives to find Robert with their signed agreement to purchase.
The American people are actually particularly insecure. While they want to maintain their freedom, they have to pay a high price for their freedom.
More than half of all families experience or have seen first-hand the lives lost each year to the abuse of this 'freedom'.
The people are always reflecting on whether the price they paid for this freedom is worth it.
But they choose 'freedom,' in the end, especially after seeing the horrible things that have happened in certain dictatorships.
And what the colonists of country Y did to them in the short history of the United States.
"Once the government monster created by human beings gets out of control and it develops wantonly, the damage it causes will be fundamental." This is what the Americans insist on.
They are on guard all the time, the 'monster' of the federal government will escape from monitoring, and the terrible history will be repeated.
It is also true that there has never been a blatant colonization in the history of the United States.
Washington always wants to intervene in the politics of other countries under the beautiful banner of "military aid, humanitarian aid" and so on.
Improve your own influence.
Because everyone knows very well that once they implement colonial policies, the first to resist will not be the colonized countries, but the native citizens of North America.
"Mr. Robert, you can use this money to do something more meaningful. I think it's time for you to enjoy life."
Rush pushed the agreement in front of him, and said sincerely.
"Should I retire? Ha——" Robert's smile was a bit bitter.
Keeping these shares seems to have no meaning for him now.
Rush and his team, backed by employees, have mastered United.
Selling shares was the best option for him, otherwise he might die without receiving a penny of dividends from these shares.
"Okay, I agree to the acquisition." Picking up the contract, Robert began to read it carefully, and at the same time asked someone to contact his lawyer to be present.
The price per share is 10 US dollars, the total value is 600 million US dollars, and it is paid off in 5 years.
"The price is too low. The price you pay your employees is $15." Since he wants to sell, Robert must of course strive for greater benefits for himself.
"The situation is different, Mr. Robert, I think you are very clear." Rush said calmly: "This disaster will last for a long time, any sensible person can see that the shares in your hands will only get cheaper and cheaper."
"12 dollars, this is a price I can accept." Robert put the agreement on the table and said firmly.
"Perhaps you should look at this first." Rush produced another document.
Whoa, whoa—
As the paper flipped, Robert's complexion got worse and worse. These bastards were blackmailing.
At a price of $20 per share, acquire the equity in the hands of other employee representatives. After reaching a controlling stake, split United Airlines and accept the successive acquisitions of Aerospace Aviation.
"Bastards." Slapping the document on the table, Robert shouted out of breath, "You are shameless robbers."
"The price is very good, 600 million US dollars, which is a huge sum of money that cannot be spent for several generations, or you can learn from Mr. Carnegie's method."
Establish multiple funds and focus on charity. Family members do not directly control the wealth, but they get a lot of expenses every month.
This avoided the terrible inheritance tax for his huge wealth, making the Carnegie family an American legend, gaining a good reputation while ensuring the continuation of the family.
"I want to talk to the lawyer alone." He went to the corner with the lawyer, the two talked for about 10 minutes, and Robert signed his name when he came back.
"When will the first payment come?" Robert leaned on the sofa in relief.
He has worked hard for 40 years, maybe it's time to consider retirement.
"Within a week." After checking the documents, Rush got up and stretched out his hand; "Thank you for your cooperation. Your contribution to United Airlines will be remembered by everyone in United Airlines."
Robert shook his head with a wry smile. He has already been forced out of the game. If there is anything else to contribute, keep it in mind, go to hell!
