Chapter 636 Long-Arm Jurisdiction! (First Update!)
His smile was sincere, and like other black people, he showed off his snow-white teeth. Under the dim light, those white teeth were so dazzling and bright, making people feel very friendly.
After looking at the person in front of him for a moment, Raleigh Johnson extended his right hand and shook it with the person opposite.
The two shook slightly and then separated.
After receiving permission to cooperate, Raleigh no longer hid it, but took out another document from his arms, handed it to Odebiao, and explained:
"This is a market analysis plan obtained from Apple. Even if their production lines are now fully operational, they can only satisfy the American market."
"They can only supply a small portion of the markets in East Asia, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Europe and Russia."
"Such a big market, if we leave it unmanaged, others will take advantage of it."
"Originally, I thought that those who would take advantage of the situation would be French telecommunications companies, or Japanese and Korean telecommunications companies."
"But I never expected that the first one to jump out and take advantage of the situation would be a Chinese communications provider."
"And it is also a communications provider with military equipment manufacturing capabilities."
"In addition to seizing our market, they can also threaten our national security. We must improve corresponding sanctions as soon as possible, otherwise, we will be greeted by a market collapse."
Odebiao took the market analysis plan in his hand and read it word for word.
As a law professor at the University of Chicago and a presidential candidate of the Democratic Party, he naturally knows some economic-related knowledge. Although it is not much, it is enough for use.
This market analysis plan is very detailed and even mentions the market for the next few years.
In this plan, relevant personnel divided the entire global economy into five markets.
Europe - Russian market.
East Asian market.
North American market.
Africa-Middle East market.
other markets.
The first four are the top priority, and the other markets behind are areas that can be explored but do not need to be deeply cultivated.
Because these places are either vast and sparsely populated, or the economy and local situation are relatively chaotic. They are the kind of places where money invested will be wasted if you are not careful.
No need to worry too much.
At the end of this plan is the market estimate of the relevant personnel.
The first-class companies can account for 40% of these markets.
Second-rate companies can account for 30%.
For third-tier companies, it is 15%.
The remaining companies account for the last 15%.
Apple takes 40%!
Seeing this, Odebiao slowly raised his eyes, with an uncertain light in his eyes.
After a long time, he again cast his gaze on Raleigh opposite him, organized his words a little, and said:
"Mr. Raleigh, since you have proposed a plan, please go back and put forward the relevant proposals. Then I will contact other people to pass the proposals."
"This needs to be done as soon as possible!"
After receiving the order, and coupled with Odebiao's gentle attitude just now, Luo Li didn't say much. He just nodded and turned to leave the office.
About 10 minutes after he left, Odebiao grabbed the phone in front of him and dialed. Two or three minutes later, his staff appeared in the office, and the Apple plan also appeared quietly on the staff. in hand.
After relaying Raleigh's words and waiting for the staff to finish reading the plan, Odebiao lay back, leaned on the chair, and asked:
"Do you have any ideas?"
Hearing the voice of inquiry, several people in the staff group did not rush to speak. Instead, they first cast a look at Odebiao, and then they took a step back and discussed in a low voice.
After two or three minutes, one of the staff was pushed out as a representative.
He stood in front of the desk, bowed respectfully to Odebiao, then stood up straight, and said in a neither humble nor condescending manner:
"According to this plan, it can indeed bring benefits, but the benefits are far less than expected and cannot meet the requirements of several investors."
These words, especially the word investor, made Odebiao instantly energetic. He sat up straight, then leaned forward again, holding his chin with his left hand, and waved lazily: "Tell me more about it!"
After receiving permission, the staff member turned back to the staff group, took the plan, and returned to his desk.
He opened the plan, searched for a moment, and then revealed the two pages of the plan in front of Odebiao.
With his fingers on the two pages, the staff member said calmly:
"According to Apple's plan, they plan to spend hundreds of billions of dollars in America in 10 years to build a whole industry chain around the world."
"Relying on these industrial chains, America can bring trillions of dollars in revenue."
"But the problem is that all this money is GDP, not actual banknotes that fall into your hands."
"These assets are certainly good, but the problem is that the so-called entire industry chain ultimately only lasts 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week."
“The capacity that can be brought in is very limited.”
"But if we take Apple in our hands, make it asset-light, and leave all the production work to Europe and East Asia, we will invest in technology, get patent fees, and get technology fees."
"Then these hundreds of billions of dollars can be saved and put into our hands, and we can also get technology fees for various industrial chains. This is a lot of money."
"And we can also put the relevant equity in the financial market, package it at multiple levels, and obtain more funds."
"In two terms at most, we could get trillions of dollars."
"And it's trillions of dollars without any scruples."
"Several investors will be very happy with such a big profit. Even if they take the majority, we can still get the small portion. That's money that we can't spend in a few lifetimes."
The voices of the staff are getting louder and louder, but fortunately, this office has been soundproofed. Even if it is separated by a door, people outside can't hear the sounds inside, so there is no need to worry too much.
Sitting on the chair, Odebiao closed his eyes and began to calculate in his mind how many trillions of dollars there were.
But soon, he opened his eyes again.
100 million US dollars is about 1.05 tons, and 1 trillion US dollars is 10,000 tons.
I really didn't expect that when I first took the position of president, the money I had access to would be counted in tons.
With 10,000 tons of banknotes, I don’t know how big a warehouse will be needed to hold these banknotes.
Shaking his head and throwing away the imagination in his mind, he sat up straight, looked at the staff opposite, and asked:
"Tell me the specific operation plan!"
"Yeah!" The staff nodded and then said softly:
"Mr. Raleigh Johnson just said it very well."
"We need to enact some laws to control industries around the world." "For example, if our country's patented technology is used, it cannot appear in any place or be used on any occasion."
"Another example is that if we want to undertake our country's contract business, we must control the scale of our own industrial development. We will always take the high end, and other countries will always take the low end. By relying on this method, we can always take the initiative."
"Or, split the business into different countries, let different countries produce, and finally unite them together."
"This can effectively prevent other countries from taking advantage of us and developing their own industries."
"At the same time, we can also achieve asset-light de-industrialization and invest more money that should be invested in the industrial chain into finance."
“Make money, change your appearance, and then go back and invest in those industrial chain companies.”
"In between investments, we can also use our dominant position to suppress those industry chain companies, suppress their stocks, suppress their products, and then buy bottoms at low prices."
"Finally, get the actual controlling rights of these industrial chain companies into our hands."
"We can start over and over again and take these companies completely into our hands."
"By then, we will be walking on two legs: industry and finance, and we can go further and make more money."
After his words fell, he was immediately greeted by Odebiao's applause.
The applause was gentle and had no unnecessary meaning, only encouragement.
When the applause fell, Odebiao's gentle voice sounded immediately:
"In this case, you, on my behalf, go find Raleigh Johnson, discuss the relevant bill with him, and then submit it."
"Hurry!"
Regarding the word "fast", Odebiao emphasized his tone and changed his expression.
Although his face was rather dark, several staff members present could still see what he wanted to express.
Be tight, be attentive.
The staff nodded, then bent down, turned around and left with the plan in hand.
It wasn't until the door closed that Odebiao changed his expression and lay down on the chair with a relaxed look on his face.
Just when I breathed a sigh of relief and was about to close my eyes and rest for a while, the phone on the table rang.
The jingling ringtone made him upset, and he wanted to curse, but when he thought that the people who could make this call were all powerful people, and they were all people he needed to win over, he could only brace himself and answer the phone.
As soon as he said that, a familiar voice came from the phone.
"Odebiao, I think Apple is a good company with good profits. Help me get it."
The tone was calm, decisive, and a little unquestionable.
The relaxed look is like going to your own cotton field and picking a cotton flower.
Odebiao was very uncomfortable. He didn't like this feeling of being bossed around, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After all, that is his sponsor father.
And this damn guy has quite a lot of power in America.
Before cultivating his own team, he cannot fall out with them.
After recalling the plan he just read in his mind, he responded calmly:
"The Apple company you are talking about, just now, Republican leader Raleigh Johnson happened to send some shares. Although it is not much, it is better than nothing."
"As for more shares, we may need to buy them at market price. If we negotiate well, we should be able to buy them at a price lower than the market price."
"As for robbery, Mr. Isaac, it is a bit difficult because the law does not support it. However, I am asking the people below to submit a bill to improve this situation."
The words he spoke were extremely flattering and made the person on the other side of the phone angry.
The phone hummed a few times, and the arrogant voice rang again:
"Then give me the part in your hand first, and I'll send someone to get it."
"It just so happens that the people on my side also have some proposals to submit. I will have someone bring you a copy when the time comes. After you read it, let them pass it as soon as possible."
After saying that, without waiting for the person here to respond, the call was hung up.
The busy tone made Odebiao even more annoyed, and also made him more determined to find ways to get rid of the control of this group of people.
He was the president of America. Although America's power was not concentrated in him, he was the president above thousands of people after all.
What kind of thing is it for a dignified president to be manipulated at will?
After sitting in the chair and hating himself for a few seconds, he picked up the documents on the table and began to review them.
After a long time, he picked up the phone on the table: "Arrange a global visit for me."
On the other side, Tel Aviv, Israel.
The time in Tel Aviv is a few hours ahead of America. It is still daytime in America, but here is already shrouded in darkness.
Isaac put down the phone, and he was hiding on the sofa in the dark. His old eyes flashed with an uncertain light, and the dry fingers on his right hand tapped on the phone from time to time.
After a long time, he shouted, and the door was immediately opened from the outside. An elegantly dressed butler appeared in front of the door, bowed respectfully, and waited for orders without saying a word.
Neither side spoke, and the room became very quiet.
A few minutes later, Isaac's old voice sounded.
"Let Albert go to California and get the shares of Apple that are placed outside, especially the shares held by the Arabs."
"Also, send some more people to Washington to take charge. Their task is to clean up the laws that are unfavorable to us in all states in America, and then eliminate them one by one."
"In addition, we must submit bills that are favorable to us and suppress other ethnic groups at the same time."
"Finally, we need to find more news media and paper media, let them write books, do news, and publicize to people all over the world that we Jews are the smartest nation, and welcoming us Jews into their country is the best choice to change the fate of the country."
"When necessary, let Odebiao cooperate."
Speaking of Odebiao, Isaac's eyes flashed, and then a hint of murderous intent emerged.
Opening his mouth and exhaling a breath of hot air, he said calmly:
"In my name, give each of his family members a gift. It must be their favorite gift and the most unique gift."
"That's all for now. Go down."
After speaking, Isaac slowly closed his eyes and hid himself in the darkness, just like the devil who destroyed the world, retracting his head after destroying the world.
The housekeeper standing at the door saw this scene and did not say much. Instead, he bent over and slowly closed the door.
When he reappeared in the corridor, he immediately regained his proud look, with his left hand behind his back and his right forearm flat on his lower abdomen, looking elegant and indifferent.
He glanced at the bodyguards guarding the corridor and said calmly:
"The gentleman is resting, don't disturb him."
