Chapter 483

At Kai Tak Airport, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Fang Ting, and Gong Wei, plus one Li Wanqiang, passed through security and entered the departure hall to wait for their flight.

Not long after, the flight to San Francisco International Airport began checking tickets for boarding.

In the boarding tunnel, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu held Fang Ting's hand, walking in front, with Gong Wei and Li Wanqiang behind.

Suddenly, a beautiful woman rushed out, crashing into Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu with a bit of a barbaric bump.

"Sorry, sorry!"

The beauty apologized hurriedly.

"Huh, Mr. Guan......"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu looked at the person apologizing before him, stunned.

Who is this?

Cherie Chung?

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and nodded: "It's okay."

This trip to San Francisco, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was going to acquire a television station.

Because it was relatively important, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu had to go in person.

In a flash, 15 hours later.

"The despicable and shameless thief of the country has entered San Francisco!" — America.

San Francisco International Airport,

The plane landed,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and his four companions exited the airport gate.

"Brother Zu!" *4

Following Xiao Fu, Wang Jianjun, and Ji Shaoqun, with a few subordinates, saw Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and hurriedly said respectfully.

There was also an eye-catching black Chevrolet parked on the side of the road.

A few San Francisco hoodlums saw Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and, in addition to being stunned, were slapped on the back of the head by Wang Jianjun.

"Hurry up and call him boss!"

"Hello, boss!"

This boss was excessively young.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others left the airport entrance and happened to see that beauty (Li Qi) with the contact person picking her up — Boat Head (Chow Yun-fat).

Li Qi looked at the Boat Head before her, falling into self-doubt.

The contact person Boat Head, whom her aunt introduced to Li Qi, was supposed to be a successful man, but now, looking at him, he had stubble, was dressed inappropriately, and the car picking her up... was battered and tattered, with a door that was broken and wouldn't close, requiring manual locking, meaning Li Qi had to pull the door to keep it from opening (crying-laughing. jpg).

Just then, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others walked out.

"Huh, we meet again~~~"

"Mr. Guan!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu greeted Li Qi and took Fang Ting into the black Chevrolet.

Soon, the black Chevrolet, followed by two black Mercedes, left rapidly.

Boat Head looked curiously at that black Chevrolet: "Who is he?"

Li Qi said: "A very famous big boss from Hong Kong."

Boat Head: "He knows you?"

Li Qi: "We met while boarding... wait, what business is it of yours!"

Li Qi glared at Boat Head.

Boat Head smiled.

The so-called "Boat Head" is a common term for sailors responsible for steering and controlling direction at the bow; such people are usually experienced and know the waters and sailing techniques like the back of their hand.

And Boat Head could have the nickname "Boat Head" because he was very familiar with Los Angeles, especially the Chinese districts; he could be called a know-it-all.

He didn't know Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, but he recognized the person respectfully standing next to Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu — Following Xiao Fu.

This was the boss of the San Francisco Umbrella Property Company.

This Umbrella Company had recently been making a huge splash in San Francisco, gaining the support of a great many Chinese, and its momentum was massive.

Its strength was already no weaker than the Wah Ching Gang or the Hongmen.

After Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, Li Qi, and the others drove away,

A short Leopard Brother (Eric Tsang) and a woman, Li Qiao (Maggie Cheung), walked out of the airport, the two of them looking around at the airport entrance.

This situation immediately caught the attention of three Chinese men.

Brothers,

A newbie has arrived!

These 3 Chinese men walked over, the leader being extremely enthusiastic: "This brother, are you looking for..."

Leopard Brother: "Futai!"

The Chinese man hurriedly said: "I am Futai..."

'Futai' hurriedly called his 2 subordinates over: "Why aren't you coming over to help carry the luggage!"

Leopard Brother hurriedly stopped them, smiling: "Brother, you don't need to carry the things."

'Futai' smiled: "It's okay! We are all Chinese; we should help each other when we're abroad."

Subordinate: "Right, Chinese don't cheat Chinese!"

Leopard Brother smiled: "Three brothers, I've been in America for many years. Whether Chinese cheat Chinese or not, don't I know?"

Futai and the brothers: "............"

Damn, ran into an old Chinese hand!

They left sullenly, continuing to look for the next target.

Many people feel that Chinese in America are like a big cesspit.

Rumor has it that every Chinese person who has just arrived in America, or rather, arrived in Los Angeles or California, will be bullied, cheated, or even physically harmed by local old immigrants and old overseas Chinese.

And, they are very disunited!

At least, in Leopard Brother's eyes, the Chinese circle is like this.

Therefore, these three people being so enthusiastic to receive him must definitely be wanting to steal his luggage.

Puni Am!

Umbrella Property Company.

The black Chevrolet stopped at the entrance of the company building.

At the entrance, everyone had already lined up, waiting at the door.

Besides the subordinates from Hong Kong, the other Chinese subordinates looked curiously at Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu getting out of the car.

Gold-rimmed glasses, handsome temperament!

Steady, majestic!

Hmm, and approachable (a reflection of the support rate).

"This is your boss, call him boss!"

"Boss!" *N

Among them, the subordinates from Hong Kong were incomparably worshipful and impassioned, their voices especially loud, excited!

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled and nodded to everyone: "Hello everyone!"

Then he chatted with the Chinese subordinates about "How many people are in your family?" "Do you have any difficulties?" "Are you in school?" "Work hard, the future is yours"......

Each subordinate felt: The boss is so approachable!

Went upstairs.

Held a small meeting.

Following Xiao Fu took a map and gave Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu a rough introduction to the situation in San Francisco.

"San Francisco has a population of 810,000, with 180,000 Chinese."

"Currently, our location is inside San Francisco's Tang Renjie, where basically 40% of San Francisco's Chinese are."

(Image: San Francisco ethnic distribution map)

"Currently, we have basically secured the support of half of San Francisco's Chinese."

"In addition, we have acquired the 'Golden Mountain Times', so we finally have our own Five-Star propaganda position."

The meeting ended after 20-plus minutes, and then Following Xiao Fu took Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others to the hotel to recover from jet lag.

This time, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu came to negotiate the acquisition of a television station.

The television station being acquired is KTSF.

It was founded in 1976 and is the earliest established multilingual television station in the San Francisco area serving Asian immigrants.

The parent company is Lin Ken Broadcasting.

Lin Ken Broadcasting perceived the unique needs of the Asian community in information acquisition and cultural entertainment, thus founding and vigorously supporting KTSF.

And now, this television station already covers over 1.4 million Asian Americans in 10 counties in the Jiujinshanwan Area, providing broadcasting services to many families in Northern California.

Its main channel currently broadcasts mainly Cantonese and Chinese programs during the 7 PM to 10 PM prime time, with Japanese, Vietnamese, and Filipino programs at other times.

By the way,

It has a partnership with ATV.

This time, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu came to acquire it.

Television stations and newspapers have always been Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's main propaganda means.

Waking up from sleep, it was already the next day.

Fang Ting held Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's hand, shaking it and saying: "The acquisition doesn't start until tomorrow... why don't we stroll around this San Francisco!"

Coming here, she let go quite a bit, unlike in Hong Kong where she never dared to reveal their relationship in front of outsiders.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu smiled: "Let's go!"

Can't come here for nothing; after all, this is a famous international tourist spot, at least for Chinese people.

First stop of the tour, the Golden Gate Bridge.

Looking from afar, that iconic red bridge spans the Golden Gate Strait.

This bridge is the most destroyed bridge in Hollywood movies; the one Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu remembers most deeply is that scene with Magneto, directly pulling the Golden Gate Bridge into the air.

After leaving the Golden Gate Bridge, they went to Fisherman's Wharf, Lombard Street, Alcatraz, and Twin Peaks, finally returning to Tang Renjie.

A new day,

Began formal acquisition negotiations with Lin Ken Broadcasting for KTSF.

"100 million USD? No, no, no... too expensive, you are simply insatiable!"

"You are Chinese, and our KTSF is the television station with the highest viewership among Chinese in the US."

"Laughable, it only covers less than 1.4 million Asians, and you have the nerve to say it's the highest?"

After 5 days of negotiations, it finally fell through.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu felt the other party's white boss, Lin Ken, was a bit insatiable, wanting 100 million when it was worth at most 50 million. They thought Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu and the others were Chinese and would naturally crave a television station targeting Chinese.

However, Lin Ken misjudged Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu.

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's goal wasn't just Chinese; the reason for talking to KTSF was the partnership with ATV, having bought many ATV programs.

Since the talks couldn't go through, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu turned to talk to other television stations.

Soon,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu reached an acquisition agreement with KTVU (a Jiujinshanwan Area television station).

It is a quite influential television station in the Jiujinshanwan Area, focusing on news reporting and local programs, occupying an important position in the local news market and capable of timely and comprehensive reporting on various major events.

And in the future, it would be acquired by Fox, becoming a member of the Jewish propaganda camp.

For Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, this television station met Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's needs better than KTSF, covering a wider population and fitting the future positioning of the Umbrella Company.

Spent 20 days,

July 25th,

KTVU television station building, conference room.

Both sides signed the contract, and Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's side officially obtained ownership of KTVU.

The Five-Star Group has taken a new step in the United States!

Conference room.

The new boss held a senior management meeting to listen to various reports from the television station.

"Boss."

"There is currently a case that the whole United States is paying attention to, which will be tried in court tomorrow..."

"Perhaps we should focus the news attention there."

"What case?"

"The Rodney King case!"

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu, who was listening in, perked up upon hearing this.

The Los Angeles Riots!

The cause was on March 3, 1991, when black man Rodney King was driving drunk and speeding, racing at nearly 200 mph within Los Angeles, with female patrol officer Singer in hot pursuit. Rodney King fled by car, triggering a high-speed chase with patrol officers on the highway, and was finally subdued. When arrested, Rodney King was beaten in turns by 4 white police officers; this process was filmed by someone, and the videotape was handed to a television station, which edited the beginning and end to highlight the black man being beaten innocently.

Once the news was broadcast, all the blacks in the US exploded, and the 4 white police officers were arrested as a result. And this Rodney King also took the opportunity to extort 50 or 60 million USD from the Los Angeles police.

And now, more than a year later, the 4 white police officers finally began their trial.

Originally, the trial should have been two months ago, but now it's dragged until now; could it be the butterfly effect?

Of course, the point isn't this trial, but the consequences resulting from the trial.

The trial ultimately acquitted the 4 white police officers.

After the news was broadcast, the black brothers in Los Angeles directly rioted, with traditional arts like zero-dollar shopping, burning shops, and killing... Latinos followed behind, not killing or burning, just looting, focusing on fishing in troubled waters...

Finally, the military was dispatched to suppress the riot; in Los Angeles alone, more than 20,000 people were unemployed, 58 died, 2,383 were injured, and among the 19,000 arrested, 6,000 were sentenced. Over 3,000 buildings were burned or destroyed.

The funniest thing is that among those caught, the Latinos who stirred up trouble were caught the most, reaching a proportion of 60%, while blacks and whites only accounted for 30-plus percent.

And San Francisco, not far from Los Angeles, was also affected quite a bit, with the poorest and most chaotic African Americans and Latinos attacking many places.

Originally Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu was prepared to take people back, but with excitement to watch, Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu naturally wouldn't leave.

And there was also a chance to fire a gun.

Heaven have mercy, he had grown up this big and hadn't properly fired a gun yet!

July 26th,

Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu sent Fang Ting onto the plane back to Hong Kong.

And that morning,

After the Los Angeles court trial, the judge solemnly announced: "This court, based on legal procedures, has conducted a comprehensive and meticulous investigation and deliberation. This court believes that the prosecution failed to provide conclusive evidence beyond a reasonable doubt to prove that the law enforcement actions of these 4 defendant police officers against Rodney King during the performance of their duties constituted a crime......"

Under Director Director Director Guan Zu Zu's instructions, Following Xiao Fu spent a large sum of money, took cameras, found a hundred black people they had helped, gave them generous deposits and bounties, and flew to Los Angeles.

A new television station needs this kind of big news.

Around 4 PM, on Florence Avenue and Halldale Avenue, gang members began smashing shops, and a Korean shop was robbed.

Around 5 PM, eight black men on the avenue about 100 meters from the Korean shop used baseball bats to smash the windows of passing cars, attacked two white people, and threw stones and beer bottles at other drivers.

6 PM, the crowd near Florence and Normandie Avenues in South Central Los Angeles increased, and the twenty-plus police officers on duty retreated.

Around 6:30 PM, hundreds of protesters gathered outside the Parker Center, the police headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.

Then... they wanted to storm the police headquarters, but were "rat-tat-tat"ed by the white masters, fleeing in all directions.

After 6 PM, looting and rioting officially began, and protesters began burning buildings in South Central Los Angeles.

And the police quickly ran to the wealthy areas to protect the wealthy masters.

As for other areas?

They didn't care!

After 7 PM, rioters at Florence and Normandie began arson; two nearby auto repair shops, a gas station, a television repair shop, a pastor's house, and a church restaurant were all ignited.

The police received the first fire alarm call around 7:45 PM; when the police cars arrived, the arsonists had already dispersed, and at the same time, looting and arson began to occur throughout South Central Los Angeles.

Soon,

The best-prepared KTVU television station, relying on the photos brought back by more than 100 black people, conducted full-process, all-around reporting.

"Dear television viewers......"

"Since the 4 white police officers were acquitted in the Rodney King case, the situation in Los Angeles has deteriorated sharply."

"This afternoon, our cameras captured the chaotic scenes on Florence Avenue and Halldale Avenue......"

"Hundreds of protesters quickly gathered outside the Parker Center, the police headquarters in downtown Los Angeles; they chanted slogans, attempting to storm the police headquarters. The police immediately took tough measures, and gunshots rang out at the scene......"

"Looting and rioting spread rapidly throughout the city......"

"At night, looting and rioting spread rapidly throughout the city. Protesters began burning buildings, and the raging fires illuminated the night sky, with billowing thick smoke......"

"The police quickly rushed to the wealthy areas......"

Because there were many photos...

The video was real...

Causing KTVU's viewership to rise rapidly.

When the television station staff saw this situation, they admired the boss to the point of prostration.

And at this time,

Over in San Francisco,

Those African American and Latino gangs,

The African American Black Mobile Corps Commander Family, the Latino Norteños, Red Fire Ants, MS13... these gangs, after seeing the news, were all restless.

Zero-dollar shopping!

Looting money!

And they had an excuse too!

On the Black Mobile Corps Commander Family side, at the warehouse assembly point,

The big boss stood on the roof of a car, holding a gun in his hand,

"Brothers!"

"Look at what happened in Los Angeles! Our black brother Rodney King was wantonly beaten by those white police officers, but what now? Those violent police officers were actually acquitted! Is there any justice in this? This is a blatant provocation and unfair treatment to our entire ethnic group! Can we swallow this?"

"We have always lived at the bottom of this city, suffering from discrimination; good jobs don't come to us, and fair treatment is insulated from us."

"Today, we can no longer be silent! Our brothers in Los Angeles have already taken action; they are fighting for their rights, are we just going to watch here? No, we must let those high-and-mighty people know that we are not soft persimmons to be bullied!"

"Pick up the tools in your hands and rush out! This is not looting, this is the compensation we deserve! The wealth in those shops already has a share of ours! We must avenge our brothers and fight for our own dignity!"

"Fighting!"

"Fighting!"

"Fighting!"

The atmosphere was heated.

At this time, a subordinate asked curiously: "Boss, who should we rob?"

Big boss: "Go to Tang Renjie!"

Subordinate: "Ah? Why rob the Chinese? Shouldn't we rob the white people?"

Big boss: "Are you stupid? Those white people have many people with guns... and those Chinese? No guns, weak and easy to bully, and they are a plate of loose sand, not united at all......"

"Also, have you forgotten, during this period, our good deeds have been destroyed many times by that Chinese Umbrella Company, causing us to lose quite a bit......"
