American TV series

Chapter 287 Proposal

"What are you doing here!" Murdoch's face suddenly turned dark.

"I'm here, at least you won't quarrel to the point of fighting, right, dear Sean." Prudence turned to look at Sean, without a smile on his face.

Sean spread his hands.

Murdoch snorted heavily, his face unhappy, but he still felt a little relieved in his heart.

Although my daughter usually avoids business matters, she really dares to do it at critical moments.

Much better than that woman who can't be counted on.

"Hey, Sean, don't you even serve my father a cup of tea!" Sitting next to Murdoch, Prudence looked at the coffee table and said with a frown.

Sean sighed and waved to the servant in the corner.

After all, I still have idol baggage...

If this were Murdoch's son, Sean would definitely punch him and make him cry for a long time!

However, you can't let your daughter get used to it and stick a gun in her and let her scream for a long time!

Murdoch finally drank Sean's tea.

"It's impossible for you to cheat on a 100 million bet!" Sean looked at Murdoch picking up the tea cup and said directly: "I don't even have to go through any legal procedures."

"Believe it or not, I created a special screen in New Century Media and hung it in the corner 24 hours a day, with just a few words written on it."

Um?

Murdoch looked up at Sean, always feeling that this guy was holding back his bad intentions.

"Just write, it's the Xth day for Rupert Murdoch, the Australian owner of News Corp., to be in debt, and there will be hours and seconds to follow!"

"I will give you a good publicity. As long as you don't care, you will never have to pay it back!" Sean sneered.

Murdoch: What the hell are you doing here with the countdown to the Olympics?

I can't say I'm angry, I feel very complicated. This method... He has always used the newspaper under Murdoch's name to disgust others, but now it's better!

Prudence looked away and almost laughed, it was so embarrassing.

But if you really want Murdoch to stand up like this, he really can't stand it.

It's so embarrassing.

Not to mention a traditional rich man like Murdoch who cares about reputation, even Sean couldn't stand it.

You are a scumbag, you are a romantic, you are cruel, you kill without blinking an eye, you are involved in gangs, you are racist, and you are not patriotic. Although these are bad, some people will still like them and even worship them crazily.

In the United States, and even in Europe as a whole, too many people are obsessed with aggressive people.

But, if you cheat, it's over...

Even if he is a bad person, he will not like an old man.

Prudence nudged Murdoch lightly and handed him over with a look, "I said it yesterday, you can't give it to me."

I know how bad he is!

Murdoch muttered silently, then nodded to Sean.

"Okay, Murdoch, don't act like you've been wronged by me here. The mall is a battlefield. On the battlefield, everyone uses their own methods. If you lose, you lose, and if you win, you win." Sean snorted,

"What I despise most is your lack of responsibility."

"Shut up!" Murdoch's face turned red with anger.

"Ha." Sean smiled and said nothing.

Murdoch was even more angry now.

"I will compensate you 10 million for this matter, but you must let Guy go." Murdoch said with a dark face.

Sean opened his mouth with a look of disbelief on his face.

He stood up and walked to Murdoch. Murdoch was startled.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Prudence stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything." Sean stretched out his hand to pull Murdoch, "Let's go, let's go, we don't have to talk, damn, 10 million, you're just sending bums here!"

While struggling, Murdoch looked at Sean in shock, "Who gives 10 million to a homeless man!"

"It's a small thing, don't go too far!"

"That's too much. I've made over a billion in fucking three years. Have you ever calculated how much money I make in a day? I'm just kidding you!" Sean let go of Murdoch's arm and looked at him condescendingly.

Murdoch:???

This sentence dealt a critical blow to Murdoch.

Make him feel like a clown and a poor man.

Murdoch waved to Prudence and sat down. He no longer wanted to talk. This was such a shock.

"Sean, this matter has already happened. It doesn't matter to us whether it's right or wrong, right?" Prudence puffed up his chest and looked at Sean, "You can come up with a way to solve it."

"You also said it is just a means of business competition, don't be so stingy."

Sean raised his eyebrows, he knew what Prudence meant.

The dispute with Murdoch started in the capital media, but it was all business competition, not personal grudges. Prudence was saying that Sean was stingy.

"Okay, since you have said this, I have one request: transfer your father's shares in New Century to me!" Sean said expressionlessly.

"Hey, at least we have had a relationship. You have such a big appetite now, isn't it a bit too much!" Prudence quit immediately. That was a share worth more than 100 million.

Murdoch:???

No, you said that in front of your father?

"It's just one quarter's income, isn't it a lot?" Sean smiled.

"Sean, don't be like this, okay!" Prudence took a step forward, took Sean's arm and held him in his arms, starting to act coquettishly.

Sean:???

Murdoch:???

Murdoch jumped up from the sofa and pulled his daughter back, "Stop talking nonsense, Sean, those shares are yours!"

After that, he took his daughter and walked out.

"What are you doing!" Prudence was pulled and shouted while stamping his feet.

"What are you doing? What do I want to ask you for?" Murdoch is so angry. I won't let you come because so many people in Hollywood knew that you two had a relationship.

He is now afraid that people will think that he is using his daughter to appease Sean's anger.

"He's about to agree!" Prudence looked aggrieved. I'm a woman. What's wrong with me taking advantage of my gender?

"I don't need it!" Murdoch snorted heavily.

"My big plan!" Prudence kept shouting in his heart.

Sean stood there, looking at the background of the two people, and he was dumbfounded.

I haven’t even said I fucking agree yet!

Are you two acting out a family ethics drama with me?

It's not that he is dissatisfied with shares worth more than 100 million, it's just...

He was more interested in Prudence now.

…

"According to reliable information, Mr. Murdoch's property in Delaware was burglarized and the thief accidentally started the fire."

"However, with the help of the police, the property has been recovered."

The host of Fox TV said seriously.

At the same time, the local police also stood up and said that this is what happened.

Stolen and recovered, it's that simple. All problems are caused by thieves.

Anyway, whether you believe it or not, I believe it.

That's all.

The American people are very easy to fool, they will believe whatever you say.

New Century Media no longer reports on this incident, as if it never happened.

only……

"What about me, what should I do!" Guy shouted into the phone.

"How the hell do I know!" Carol snorted coldly. He had not forgotten that this guy had dragged him into the water before.

Now that this guy fell into the water by himself, should he move a rock?

At that time, Murdoch was very angry and felt very humiliated. How could he remember Guy as a branch manager...

Therefore, this guy is still stuck at home and dare not go out.

The kind that was completely forgotten.

When he called 911, the other party hung up immediately when he heard that it was him...

Note, this does not violate any rules!!

In the United States, if your life is threatened by a criminal, calling the police is probably useless.

Whether to take care of it or not depends on your mood, and of course, it also depends on whether the person being threatened is rich.

Because the U.S. Supreme Court has made this judgment: When providing police services, the police do not have any specific responsibility under the public responsibility provisions on any citizen.

In other words, the duty of the American police is only to hold criminals accountable after breaking the law, but they have no obligation to protect citizens from specific violations.

The police are responsible for maintaining the security and stability of local society. This responsibility is directed at the city as a whole, not a specific citizen. They have no obligation to protect citizens.

Therefore, when Guy called 911, it was completely reasonable for the operator to ask, "Why are you still alive?" and it was also reasonable and legal for the police car to come and go.

Of course, justice will only be late, but it will not be absent.

After you are violated or killed by a criminal, the police must arrest the criminal, but before he kills you, he is not a criminal, and the police can ignore it completely.

legitimate!

The police arrest criminals not for revenge, but because the criminals violated the law.

March 1975, Washington, the capital of the United States.

At night, 10 o'clock!

Two men broke into an apartment and raped Miriam Douglas in front of their 4-year-old daughter. The screams alerted the two female residents upstairs, Caroline Warren and Joan Tolliver.

.

The two called the police, and the operator said, "We'll be there soon!"

However, it was not until 6:30 the next morning that a police officer arrived at the scene of the crime.

For more than 8 hours, everyone was so cold. Then, the police just walked around the apartment and left.

The two women called the police again, and the operator said, "Yeah, okay, the police are on their way and will arrive at the battlefield in 30 seconds."

After all, the two women still didn't understand what "freedom" meant. They innocently went downstairs, and what greeted them was not the police, but two gangsters who were tired of playing with young women.

Taking turns, beatings, humiliation, all kinds of knowledge.

In the end, the three women who were saved were the waists of two gangsters...

Afterwards, three people sued the local police, but the court directly declared that they would not accept the case. The reason was that "the police's responsibility to protect the public is broad, and there is no special responsibility to a specific citizen."

Afterwards, the three women appealed, but they were rejected.

In 1981, the U.S. Supreme Court also decided not to accept the appeal of this case.

Therefore, if you do not fully understand what ‘freedom’ means, please be careful when breathing the air of freedom.

Easy to choke.

"Hello, Mr. Sean, I am Carol, I am..."

"I know you, President of News Corporation, what's the matter with?" Sean put down the document in his hand and said.

"Yes, what do you think Guy should do?" Carol asked.

"Guy?" Sean was confused, "Who is it?"

How could he remember such a guy with so many things in a day? Murdoch forgot, and he also forgot.

"Uh..." Carol was stunned, don't forget, I have already moved the rocks.

"That's right, you arrested those two..."

"I haven't arrested anyone, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your language!" Sean's voice suddenly turned cold.

"Ah, yes, yes, I remembered it wrong." Carol Khan popped up immediately, if Sean thought he was lying.

Thinking of this, Carol couldn't help but shudder.

"I, I mean, everything was arranged by Guy." Carol quickly changed the subject, "I think some people cannot be let go so easily. If they make mistakes, they have to bear them. This is not revenge, this is

The deserved punishment is also a warning to everyone."

"This will make everyone remember that there are some things that cannot be done, and we at News Corporation are also prepared to express our attitude to everyone."

A trace of amusement flashed across Sean's face, "Oh, then how do you think we should handle it?"

"I personally think that Guy should be allowed to become a reporter, from a branch general manager to a grassroots reporter. This kind of mental gap is the biggest punishment."

"Of course, he will lose his current house, high-end life, and decent job. He will become a sloppy reporter who keeps looking down. I believe those reporters will treat him well."

"At the same time, every day he is active in the journalistic community, he can alert other reporters and know what not to do."

Guy: Damn it, stop me!

"Piu~Liang, just do as you say. You can tell Guy that this is the only chance for his family." Sean thought for a while and then said: "Besides, you are very good, I am optimistic about you!"

Family, a very obscure word.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Sean!" Carol looked very happy.

After hanging up the phone, Sean couldn't help but laugh. Damn it, how did Murdoch find so many sleeping dragons and phoenix chicks!

"Okay, let's continue. I've almost read the documents. Just tell me your conclusion, Monroe."

Monroe Diff pushed up his glasses, coughed slightly and said: "The unemployment rate is rising, prices are rising, and according to rough calculations within our banking industry, our U.S. fiscal deficit will reach an unprecedented $200 billion this year.

"

"Economic crisis?" Sean frowned.

"Yes, signs of an economic crisis have appeared. In fact, I mentioned this to you more than a year ago."

"Wait a minute." Sean raised his hand to stop Monroe, reached out and grabbed the phone next to him and dialed, "Wells, this is Sean. Let me ask you, are the recent crimes in Newark

Is it increasing?”

"Okay, I know."

After hanging up the phone, Sean dialed again, "Klaus (Jersey City Police Chief)..."

"Bertrand Jim (New Jersey State Police Commissioner)..."

After hanging up the phone, Sean let out a long breath. Sure enough, crime incidents in New Jersey have been gradually increasing recently.

No wonder the people in Los Angeles just gave it a slight push and it immediately exploded.

After all, it's all about money.

It's not that Sean has controlled the underground forces in New Jersey, and criminal incidents have stopped.

Sean can actually control only more than 20,000 people, these are 'members', and there are more poor people, those old gangsters, so the crime has been reduced, but not too much.

What should I do if I have no money to buy drugs?

I can only come out and do one vote.

This thing is completely out of control, not even when Jesus comes.

Unless the poison is completely eliminated.

Can the poisonous man be eliminated?

Elimination is impossible, but there is hope for legalization...

"What's your opinion?" Sean looked at Monroe.

"I don't understand specific operations, sir!" Monroe spread his hands, "I'm just an economics major, and operations are not within my scope of knowledge."

"However, according to the practice of previous years, we should start preparing now to deal with the problems of reduced employment rate, rising prices and unsalable products."

"I've never understood why prices are still rising when unsaleable products clearly mean things can't be sold. The employment rate is obviously increasing and many people can't find jobs, but more factories can't recruit workers!" Sean looked puzzled.

To Monroe.

"Uh... it's very complicated, economics, sociology, psychology, I can't explain it to you clearly." Monroe shrugged and suddenly noticed that Sean's expression was not good.

Sean: You're calling me stupid!

"Uh..." Monroe quickly made amends and said thoughtfully: "The simplest example is that people have no money in their hands and can only consume 10 things. No matter whether you lower the price or not, they can only consume so much. What's the point?

It's better to raise the price and make more money, and then just wait and see the chain reaction."

"As for recruitment issues...our benefits are relatively high, and many people are unwilling to do some repetitive, low-end jobs."

"It's just that they got used to it. If it were 80 years ago, when they didn't have enough to eat, there wouldn't be so many things." Sean complained.

"So, what you are saying is that I should prepare to reduce some production, improve workers' benefits, and develop more sales channels to cope with the economic crisis...the economic downturn." Sean frowned.

"Yes, boss!"

Tapping his fingers on the table, Sean pondered for a while and then said: "Is it possible to change the law?"

Monroe:???

"For example, some minor violations of labor laws will not be punished." Sean's eyes slowly brightened.

Monroe's eyes widened, is this a capitalist?

No, capitalists don’t even dare to think so!

Foreign powers expressed shock!

"For example, provide job opportunities to some minors."

"You still want to employ child labor?" Monroe was shocked. "Oh my God, according to the provisions of the Fair Labor Act of 1938, American factories are prohibited from employing child labor."

"Of course, of course, I know, but we should see that many children have lost their parents and family members. They are living on the line of food and clothing. They cannot afford to eat, which leads them to participate in crime and even drug abuse.

, you have to admit this, right?" Sean looked pitiful.

Monroe blinked, not knowing how to answer for a moment, thinking that this was the case.

"So, I am saving them, right, as long as there are some necessary legal restrictions?" Sean smiled and looked at Monroe, "I am doing this out of charitable considerations."

"Uh..." Monroe's expression was tangled, and he didn't know how to refute for a while.

This should be some fallacy, but I think it makes sense!

“For another example, we can allow the employer to seize workers’ identity documents,” Sean continued.

"Ah!?" Monroe said, I didn't understand, but I was shocked, "What's the reason?"

"To prevent workers from impulsively resigning, we must admit that many workers, especially black workers, will suddenly disappear after receiving their wages. They may go to celebrate, travel, or want to take a few days off, but...

What they do will cause huge losses to the employer."

"At the same time, after the impulse has passed, we find that the money is gone, and when we try to find a job, we can't find it. The rent of the house is not enough, the loan is due, and other problems emerge one by one. In order to curb this phenomenon, we should take some necessary measures

,Isn’t this a beaver?”

"Uh... this is very beaver!" Monroe blinked. Whether from the perspective of capital or workers, at least the starting point is good.

"For another example, we can collect a certain deposit from workers in the name of guarantee."

Monroe's expression was distorted, "Ha, what's the reason for this?"

"The reason is that workers and factories have a mutually beneficial relationship. From a fair perspective, sudden resignations and other unexpected staff shortages will cause huge economic risks to the factory. This requires guarantees, okay?" Sean spread his hands.

"This is another form of liquidated damages."

"Ha!" Monroe tilted his head, unable to say a word.

"These things are very necessary, especially for environmental protection companies. I find that there is a high turnover of low-level employees in environmental protection companies. It is not a good thing if this continues."

Sean thought for a while and continued: "The other thing is the messy small companies I invested in Newark and other cities. If the economic downturn really happens, they will be the first to be affected."

"Okay, boss, I believe that if you use your ability to promote this matter, the probability of success is very high, and it will be really good for the company, but..." Monroe said with a weird expression: "I bet that one day the capitalists will

When you are hung on a street lamp, many people will be hung on the street lamp where you are hung."

Sean burst out laughing, "I'm glad to get your compliment. I haven't exploited it enough. I'm still in the early stages and need to continue to learn."

"Hell, keep studying!" Monroe said with an exaggerated expression: "I don't believe that anyone can exploit workers better than you. If this pace continues, do you still want to break the 8-hour working time!"

"Yes, you will see it!" Sean's expression was slightly mocking, "I have to go to work as soon as I wake up in the morning, and I rush to buy a hamburger on the way to eat while walking. Before midnight, the lights at home will not turn on, no

I have no time to cook, but can only order takeout. I have no time to take a walk, no time to take a vacation, and no time to play with my children. I am in a hurry all day long.”

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Monroe shook his head, "Are you talking about Chaplin? That was all in the last century. Society can only move forward and not backward!"

"Actually, it's very simple. I just need to greet the Chinese workers!" Sean's mouth curled up with an extremely weird smile.

Monroe:!!!

…

Gilbert finally finished reading the proposal document in his hand, let out a big sigh, turned to look at Sean and extended a thumbs up, his face full of admiration.

Capitalists have been working hard for a long time!

Rising wages and benefits have gradually reduced capitalist profits.

Faced with the exploitation of workers, capitalists must stand up!

Gilbert was very pleased that Sean could stand up and take the lead.

Although these proposals did not have much effect and were all minor problems, Gilbert saw the light of day from this proposal!

That was the dawn of resistance against beating workers!!

"Hold a banquet, gather everyone, and see together how much everyone can work together in this push!" Gilbert said forcefully.

Sean can be reminded by Munro, and Gilbert naturally has his own economics team paying attention to macro issues.

Everyone must prepare for an economic downturn.

The banquet was held at the Peace Hotel on the second day. At the beginning, Sean personally took out the proposal and gave a speech on the 16 detailed changes to the "Fair Labor Act".

This proposal was welcomed by all capitalists present.

After the banquet, capitalists from all walks of life gathered together and worked together to revise the 16 detailed rules into 267!

This is a capital event!

Let the law protect the reasonable rights and interests of capitalists in the name of law!

As for those "malicious※※", they should be considered illegal by the law in the name of the law!

Governor Benny Carville went numb when he saw this long proposal!

Isn't this pushing him into a pit of fire?

If this thing goes to Congress, whether it passes or fails, the media will report it, and then he will be scolded by people all over the United States.

only……

It's not a matter of whether he wants the proposal or not.

When all the capitalists in New Jersey are pushing for it at the same time, Governor Benny Carville doesn't have to agree even if he doesn't want to.

At this moment, he was thinking of resigning.

"Why!" Benny Cavill looked at Sean and Gilbert with a look of sorrow and anger, "This, this is too feudal!"

"This is the fact. You know what the current ideological trend in the country is, and I know it too." Sean looked at Benny Cavill with a serious face, "If the workers are allowed to continue to quarrel like this endlessly, then

, we can only move factories from the United States, South America, and Asia."

"The country to the east is opening up, and the wages of workers there are 100 times lower than in the United States. So, why do we keep our factories in the United States?"

"They, can they use machinery?" Benny Cavill said with a mocking look on his face.

Sean didn't say anything, just looked at Benny Cavill quietly.

"Okay, okay, don't look at me like that!" Benny Cavill scratched his head with a headache.

Of course he knows what the real situation is. The number of Chinese workers employed by Xiaonian is not small. Some members of the Xiang Party once mentioned that Chinese workers are seizing the labor market.

Of course, later on, Sean's power expanded rapidly, so the matter was dropped.

"You know the consequences if these low-end factories are relocated. The unemployment rate in New Jersey will increase significantly. I am doing this for the good of New Jersey and the good of New Jersey citizens!" Sean said with a serious face.

The corner of Benny Cavill's mouth twitched, "Fuck you!"

Regardless of whether this proposal is passed or not, these factories will be moved. After all, wages in Asia are too damn low.

In fact, everyone is well aware of this kind of thing.

Just at the beginning of this year, the first Sino-US joint venture was born, and product OEM started earlier.

No matter what, this proposal still needs to be made and implemented.

The reason why Sean promoted this was not only to control the unemployment rate to a certain extent, but also to prepare for the next proposal.

At this point, it has nothing to do with Sean, and it is Benny Cavill who leads the charge.

As for the congressmen, they have actually been lobbied for it for a long time.

As expected, as soon as the proposal came out, there was a lot of criticism in the media!

The one who scolded the most was New Century Media!

Sean: "Governor Benny is simply anti-social and anti-human, scold him and his whole family!"

"Workers have gone through decades of arduous struggle to obtain the working conditions we have today. We must not let the hard work of our ancestors go to waste!"

"Benny, you capitalist's lackey!"

Benny Cavill's whole body was numb.

Sean, you are a real dog!

Of course, Sean didn't do nothing. At least, those large-scale demonstrations were suppressed by the Jonas family.

As for some small demonstrations...

We always have to give people some space to vent.

After all, the people understand die economy!

But no matter what, amidst all the criticism, the law was passed.

…

"Gilbert invites you to a dinner to celebrate the passage of this proposal."

"No!" Sean shook his head directly, "I didn't propose this plan, so what does it have to do with me?"

Lorraine looked at Sean with disdain.

"Look what I did, out of 267 items, I only mentioned 16, which is a very small proportion. What does this have to do with me!" Sean looked aggrieved, "Besides, I did it out of charity considerations.

Can those vampires be the same!"

Lorraine rolled her eyes, "You've been telling lies all day long!"

"Just tell me, have the projects I promoted saved many black children and teenagers?" Sean raised his head and looked at Lorraine.

Lorraine snorted, turned around and left, "It's weird!"

As someone close to Sean, Lorraine actually knows that Sean has actually done a lot of good things, but the methods are often very drastic.

She just couldn't understand what Sean was thinking all day.

"Hey, I'm going to Seattle tomorrow, do you want to go or not? My palace in the sky has been built!!" Sean shouted to Lorraine's back.

"Who did you invite?" Lorraine turned to look at Sean.

"Uh... there are a lot of them, Jonas, Bill, Uri."

"What else?" Lorraine raised an eyebrow.

"Uh, Diane, Nicole, Eliza..."

"Go away!" Lorraine didn't wait for Sean to finish speaking, stomped her feet and turned around to leave!

…

I saw readers saying that fireworks are chartered by the public and rich people don’t need a monthly pass...

Look at the time clearly, it was a few years ago!

Just one year into the business, the epidemic came...

Then, the fireworks came to write the book...

I'd be a fool to apologize.

Therefore, you need to be cautious when doing business!

Once you start, there is no turning back. From the beginning of business, you will have no vacations, no wages, you will not be able to watch dramas, not get sick, you will not play games, and will not hang out with others...
