Los Angeles, City Hall.
In the conference room, Hawke and Brian each sat on the side of the long conference table, signed the contract in front of them, and then exchanged the contract and signed it again.
There was no public ceremony or media reporters' attention. Like many political subsidies in the United States, the contract was officially signed and entered the pockets of large companies without the public's knowledge.
This is a contract for two projects.
A company sold the Coast Building to Twitter for a cost of $150 million for the City Hall in the name of supporting the development of Silicon Beach high-tech enterprises.
The other is the financial support plan for key enterprises in Los Angeles. The city hall provides $360 million in subsidies for technology research and development, personnel employment and skills training to Twitter.
The contract is signed and the project is implemented.
The procedures for changing ownership of the building will naturally be handled by subordinates.
Hawke and Brian left the conference room and entered the latter's mayor's office together.
Similar to the Oval Office, the mayor's office is not large, with portraits of several outstanding former mayors hanging on it, not from his ex Antonio.
Brian sat on the sofa in the hospitality area and said to Hawke: "The $150 million is paid in three years, and Twitter should not be under too much pressure."
"I thought I could quit ten years of installments and finally get rid of debts," Hawke joked.
Brian simply said: "Los Angeles has default rules in this regard. Similar to the situation in the Coast Building, the installment time cannot exceed the term of office."
More than these two contracts were made on both sides. After the Los Angeles fire, all the projects that were cleaned up on the site have been outsourced to West Coast Environmental Technology Company, which has subcontracted to three other companies at a lower price.
There should be more than ten companies entering the market to work.
Subcontracting layer by layer, a special service that is popular all over the world.
West Coast Environmental Protection Technology won all bids in the latest procurement bid by the Fire Department. The business manager who went to Oriental was preparing to import a large number of fire-fighting equipment.
Due to the fire, the council and councillors maximized their fire budget.
This time the purchase amount is as high as US$32 million.
There will naturally be some follow-up.
As we all know, doing such government procurement in the United States is extremely profitable.
The security company has also signed a contract, and the Butterfly Company is recruiting people, but the original security company contract expires at the end of the year. In the past few months, the new security company can just train personnel.
Brian said at this time: "Before next weekend, the White House will come to Los Angeles. Since the Los Angeles fire, the donkey party's support rate has continued to decline, and it is almost the same as the Elephant party."
He said one more thing: "In the last election, Donkey Party Gore won 53% of the votes in California, and they do not have a dominant advantage yet."
Hawke had the impression that by ten years, this number would become more than 60%.
It seems that the old man can only get 35% of the votes in California.
Hawke nodded and asked, "How did you discuss with your fiancée?"
"Jennifer and I are just boyfriend and girlfriend, and we are not yet married!" Brian emphasized first before saying: "Jennifer is selecting reliable personnel and contacting the Washington headquarters to let the people on the headquarters find the right reason and will be favored by the second deputy director of the donkey party."
This is also one of the reasons why Hawke is waiting.
It is no problem for LAPD to frame ordinary people, but in this kind of thing, you cannot count on them. It is not an exaggeration to say that LAPD is like a sieve.
When the case comes in, the next step will be passed to the person who deserves the news.
The Los Angeles FBI branch office was slightly better, mainly because when Jennifer Huey was transferred, he brought a group of people over.
The supervisor here has been working in nominal form since last year, but in fact he retired and ignored these matters at all.
As long as the second deputy director is not in Los Angeles, Jennifer can suppress many things with his position.
Hawke said: "My people are advancing step by step. It won't take long. The female reporter from Fox TV will take the initiative."
Brian nodded, "Jennifer and I promised that this is done well and we will get engaged immediately."
Hawke sighed, "Man, you made a brave choice for our cause, and I admire you very much."
Brian showed sadness: "What I lost is countless forests."
"If you need it, I'll help you hold a grand bachelor party." Hawke was well-funded: "At least five Victoria's Secret angels and ten models who have walked through the Victoria's Secret show."
Brian grabbed Hawke's arm and said, "It was a pleasant decision."
Hawke said again: "Don't relax for a moment when you pursue Antonio and Sacramento pursues the donkey party members. This is not only a war to put pressure on them, but also arouses their attention and keeps their focus on the aftermath of the fire."
Brian understands this: "Avoid them noticing that we have opened up new battlefields."
After the fire, the donkey party sacrificed Antonio, hoping that he could withstand as much guilt as possible and attract public attention.
This method is indeed effective. With the resignation of the former mayor of Los Angeles, the donkey party has suffered a lot less public opinion pressure.
But the Elephant Party is still pursuing relentlessly, and is posing as if it is taking advantage of the Los Angeles fire and turning the situation in California in one fell swoop.
The two discussed for a long time, and it was almost noon before Hawke left Los Angeles City Hall.
It was not far from the Detective Department. Hawke called Erica and confirmed that she had time at noon, so he called her out for lunch.
The two of them were having a meal and chatting, and the topic talked about the case that happened in Beverly Hills a few days ago.
Hawke asked, "Is the case clear?" Erica said simply, "The suspect has not been confirmed yet, but all signs show that the case must have been made by a super rich man. Not only is this rich man, he may have set up a secret sect, or a secret member of the Satanism."
Hawke understood: "Someone above puts pressure on the investigation?"
Erica shrugged: "I can't get in touch, but both directors of the Detective Department must hang up the case."
Hawke said: "LAPD protects taxpayers and donors. Others have paid large amounts of protection and have not received corresponding protection. Who will donate to LAPD in the future? Is that true?"
Erica nodded slightly: "It's almost the same."
Neither dog nor women are the kind of people who seek fairness and justice, and they have no special opinion on this.
Hawke remembered something and said, "I upgraded Campos's company to a security company and needed to apply for a batch of gun certificates."
Erica said directly: "You ask him to give me the personnel information, it takes up to five days."
She stopped the knife and fork to cut the barbecue and said, "I will do it as soon as possible. If you go out, bring more bodyguards and drive the car with the highest bulletproof level, the things you planned with Brian will easily lead to fierce counterattacks."
"I will." Hawke said, "I will call you when I encounter such a thing."
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
Erica said seriously: "I will say hello to my grandfather and ask the security company to prepare two helicopters to be on standby at any time. Once a situation occurs, I can support you as quickly as possible."
After the two finished their meal, Hawke took the lead and drove back to Twitter. Then he followed Haaland from the Technical Department to the newly acquired office building.
The interior decoration of the Coast Building has been suspended, and construction will be carried out after more specific requirements are put forward on Twitter.
The main changes lie in network lines and security systems.
Among them, servers are the top priority.
In the middle of the 16-story building on all sides is the same 16-story server and supercomputer building.
Hawke followed Haaland into the building, discussing some technical issues as he walked.
Because when designing this building, considering that it is rented by Silicon Beach's information technology company, the middle building was designed to install servers, so there is no need to make too many changes.
Dedicated network communication lines, the most advanced server, this building alone will throw the subsidies from Los Angeles City Hall.
The development of online social media is too expensive.
Hawke thought of the commander in Los Angeles in the future. If the other party wants to gain an advantage in Los Angeles, he must leave something behind.
Hawke won't do business that is losing money.
…………
Downtown Los Angeles, Expo Park.
Halle Wayne took a copy of Sports Illustrated and sat on a bench beside the Rose Garden square.
There are not many people in the park during the weekdays.
Halle looked at the people coming in from time to time.
Yesterday, the email address that sent Harley an email suddenly replied.
The other party claimed to be one of her news informants.
Halle immediately made an appointment with the other party to meet at the Expo Park.
She looked at her wrist watch and couldn't help but shake her head to relax. She came a little early, and there was still half an hour before the agreed time.
The park is less than three kilometers in the parking lot.
After the Venice Beach Club fire, Guerrero Ent's girlfriend Ailin, who was suicide, took out the printed information and got to know it again.
Beside him, Betty pinched her hand and encouraged, "You are a smart girl, you can do it."
Ailin put down the information and looked up at the sky: "He is looking at me in the sky."
Aileen has seen all the things that Guerrero left behind. She knew that her boyfriend was not a good person, but her boyfriend was very nice to her, but she died inexplicably.
Aileen still remembers the last night, and if Guerrero didn't drive her, she would definitely die.
Aileen cannot control other people's life or death, but Guerrero's revenge must be avenged.
After Fiona and Betty found Aileen and showed what she had mailed, she didn't waste much talk, so Aileen followed the two.
After learning about the situation, this college student was determined to take revenge.
In the past six months, Ailin has been undergoing various trainings and is preparing to launch a fatal blow.
Target Ackerman Charity Foundation!
Ailin took the car keys, put on a Dodgers baseball cap, got into the car next to her, and said, "I'm going."
Betty nodded, "Don't worry, I'll follow you all the time."
"Yeah." Ailin responded and started the car and drove to the Expo Park.
Betty and the others followed. (This chapter ends)
