Reborn Wealth America

Chapter 557: What Winnie and Abel Do

West Coast of the United States.

Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is a big geographic concept, so big that even many ordinary Americans just think of Los Angeles when they think of the West Coast.In fact, in addition to the Los Angeles area, the entire West Coast also has major cities near the sea such as San Diego, San Francisco, Oakland, Seattle, Anchorage, Honolulu, and Long Beach.There are also many that do not rely on the sea, such as Las Vegas, San Jose, Sacrament, Fresno, Portland and so on.

It's just that Los Angeles relies on Hollywood, and it is not Los Angeles, but it has always been considered Los Angeles' Silicon Valley.In the eyes of the world, it has always been a representative of the West Coast.

In fact, in addition to California, there are two other large states-Oregon and Washington.In a broad sense, it also includes Alaska and Hawaii.

The total area is no less than any European country except Russia.If you count the economy, it is estimated to be ranked in the top five in the world-the gross national product of a California can be ranked seventh in the world.

Broadly speaking, whether it is international or American, the term Los Angeles actually refers to the Greater Los Angeles area.It covers a huge range, including 5 counties, with a population of approximately 24 million.

It is the largest metropolitan area in the west, just such a metropolitan area. Its GDP in 2014 was 693.116 billion US dollars, ranking third in the world, second only to New York and Beijing.

Among the five counties in the greater Los Angeles area, Orange County is the most economically developed and populous county outside of downtown Los Angeles.

Winnie Adams, who successfully passed the election recently, became an Orange County councillor.

There is a small county council in Orange County, Los Angeles, with very few members, only five people.Four of them are like Winnie, who are called county councilors by locals, and the other is called county councillor by locals.In other words, there are actually only 5 people in the Los Angeles Orange County Council.

But this is only a local name. In the official name, these five people will be called the Orange County Commissioner of Los Angeles.At the same time, the leader among these five people is the one called the county chairperson by the locals.

He will often be a member of the California State Assembly.

But unfortunately.

In this midterm election this year, Mr. David Smith, the county chairperson representing Orange County in Los Angeles, participated in the election, but he failed in the election for the California State Assembly.

He was not re-elected as a member of the California State Assembly. He is a senior elephant party politician.It's a pity that in California this year, under the reaction of Mr. President Terribly unreliable, the Donkey Party's power has been in full swing, and the Elephant Party has naturally failed.

The failure of Mr. David Smith caused a big leak in the political arena of Orange County in Los Angeles.Many politicians in Orange County, Los Angeles, the upper class, and some wealthy people.The thought that there is no spokesperson for Orange County in Los Angeles in the California Assembly is simply unforgivable.

Mr. David Smith suddenly became the villain in Orange County, Los Angeles. Not to mention the county chairperson, even the position of the county legislator is a bit precarious.

Those powerful people in Orange County, Los Angeles, are absolutely unwilling to see that among the members of the California State Legislature, which represents the greatest power in California, none of them are from Orange County, Los Angeles.

In the American political arena, various members of parliament are actually representatives of various forces in society, as well as spokespersons and spokespersons of various forces.In California's economy, Los Angeles Orange County is not as far ahead as Los Angeles or San Francisco, but its economic contribution can at least rank among the top 5 in California.

None of the people in California are from Orange County, Los Angeles. The bigwigs in Orange County in Los Angeles say they cannot accept it.

So what to do?

The big guys have appealed, since you David Smith is not capable.Then quickly roll down, give up the county chairperson, and let the capable person represent Los Angeles Orange County!

Although the mid-term elections are almost over, the results will come out.But isn't it over yet?Isn’t it a few days away?There can be another election. Los Angeles Orange County has called for the California State Assembly to re-elect.

Otherwise, Los Angeles Orange County will not implement the policies of the new California State Assembly...

However, the threats issued by Orange County in Los Angeles are still constitutionally permitted.Because this country is originally a federal state, a United States.It is formed by the union of dozens of states, and the major states are composed of counties or cities.Everyone is equal.

Orange County in Los Angeles does not listen to the orders of the California State Assembly, just as California or Texas does not listen to the orders of the President or Congress.

This is permitted in the constitution and law.

The California State Assembly was helpless, and it was indeed a bit outrageous to think that there was not a single representative of an important place like Orange County in Los Angeles.

An additional election was announced, giving Los Angeles Orange County a chance.But if the representative of Orange County in Los Angeles still fails this time, then we cannot blame the California State Government and the California State Assembly.

Orange County in Los Angeles agreed.

Ever since, the opportunity of the remaining four county councilors came.

Winnie, who has just become a county councillor in Los Angeles for a few days, her campaign team and staff team that have not yet been disbanded, was as excited as she was all at once!

The 22-year-old county legislator of Orange County in Los Angeles, although very awesome, but in this country's nearly 300-year history, there are always some super awesome geniuses who have done it by their family and their own abilities.

But if you can become a member of the 22-year-old California State Legislature, it is truly unprecedented in the entire political history of the Union.

The key is that there is still a certain possibility of success.

In the case of David Smith being unable to stand for election, among the four remaining members of Orange County.

At present, Winnie, who has been called "Ms. Winter" and "Break of the Wildfire" by many family newspapers, is using the power of California wildfire to promote public opinion. Although she is relatively young, she has a great advantage.

therefore.

Our county councillor, madam, is now in his office, listening to the suggestions of his campaign team and his staff.

The staff and assistants are debating fiercely:

"Ms. Winnie has not announced whether she will join the Elephant Party or the Donkey Party. This has now become our advantage. The Elephant Party and Donkey Party will certainly show favor to us in order to win over us. This is a kind of Very good advantage! Before officially deciding which party to join, these two most powerful forces will definitely not blatantly oppose the lady! We can take the middle democratic route, but in terms of language, we should be the situation of elections. The party and the donkey party are swinging!"

"This is a good way! But our political program must be new. It can't be the old ones! In addition to the support of Los Angeles Orange County, we should also win more supporters!"

"such as?"

"For example, there are a large number of Chinese voters this week! As we all know, residents of Chinese descent are the least fond of participating in politics. But they tend to have a lot of support for politicians who favor them, and we can take the line of Chinese descent."

Everyone debated to the fierce point, and Winnie, who had been listening carefully, heard the sensitive word combination "Hua Xia", and thought of her lover's inexplicable affection for Hua Xia.

She couldn't help but said, "How? I'm talking about striving for the support of Chinese Americans. There are a lot of them in California, and they often have a certain economic status. I think they can fight for it."

The first time the boss spoke, he asked about election-related matters. Of course, the aides spoke enthusiastically:

"I think you can start with the number of college admissions! As we all know, Chinese people are one of the ethnic groups that value the education of their children the most in the world. Since early 2014, the SCA5 ethnic quota proposal for admissions to California public universities has attracted Chinese people. Opposition! We can expand the enrollment ratio of Chinese and other minorities to win their support!"

"Striving for the support of Chinese Americans is definitely a good route! I have a piece of data here, obtained from Bloomberg. The data shows: According to the data of the Federal Census Bureau in May 2018, in the federal population composition, about Chinese from China 4.88 million!"

"Even if this number is in the entire Federation, that is to say, 5 of the 300 people in the Federation are of Chinese origin!"

"But the current Senate and House of Congress do not have a member of a Chinese background. Compared with the Indian population of about 4.12 million in the Federation, although it is less than Chinese, there are as many as 13 Indian Senate members in both houses of Congress. Bit."

"Although it is obvious that a person with a background of Huaxia University Lu is impossible to succeed. Because that country is now our number one enemy. But this has nothing to do with us. Ms. Winnie is the most orthodox American! Ours There is no problem with the background. Now we use our background to win the support of almost 5 million supporters! This is actually very good!"

"Well... California is the most ethnically populated state, accounting for 38.4% of this number, almost 2 million people! The entire California is only 40 million people. If we can get the support of these 2 million people, then that would be One out of 20 people supports us! It's weird if you don't win. At that time, let alone a member of the California State Assembly, maybe even the Governor of California would have hope!"

The data of the assistants and staff still have suggestions, not to mention that Winnie had a certain affinity for Chinese because of Abel.Even if you don't have a good impression, you may be a mature politician if you can win this part of the supporters.

What kind of choice should be made, she knows 10 points.

She made a decisive decision: "Then do it! While keeping the original plan not in conflict, we will try our best to win over the favors of the Chinese in California. Let them give us the votes in their hands."

"But what should I do?" Winnie asked to the staff. "Call them and give a speech to them? Or give them a special TV speech?"

She just finished asking.

The staff just wanted to talk, and one of the two phones that Winnie put on the desk, one of the personal phones, vibrated.

If it was another official mobile phone, Winnie would definitely choose not to answer in such a meeting and just press Mute.

But now the phone that only her family and her loved ones can contact is ringing, and it shows that the caller is "Fila". Winnie hesitated for a few seconds, and finally waved her hand and said to the staff: "I Answer the call... be back in 10 minutes."

She got up and left and connected to the phone.

A few minutes later, she said softly to Phila who was on the opposite side of the phone: "Don't be afraid, he shouldn't be angry with you. You are so cute, so beautiful, and so obedient. How could that guy not want you? He guessed just angry at you Don't tell him anything, don't worry."

"You just go to your school honestly. He will take care of this matter, so you don't know it. You can make amends later. I don't care how to make amends. Let's do this first, I'm still there. Meeting!"

"Well, good. Goodbye."

"..."

After hanging up Phila's call, Winnie stood silently in the corridor for a while.

Then quickly dialed several calls.

"Penny, can you do me a favor? You should still work on the IRS now? If so, help me!"

"Carter. Bill Williams, please check for me, if he has any illegal traces recently."

"Joan, I need your help. I think..."

"Jason, I think you should be happy to see you this time. Because..."

"..."

Winnie hung up the phone after going out for several consecutive calls, with a sneer that she would never show up in front of Abel.

If this kind of sneer appears in political TV dramas or political movies like "House of Cards".It is estimated that it will become the classic performance of the political figures in these movies or TV.

Very cold.

The little assistant who had been by her side shuddered.The little assistant felt that Ms. Winnie had just laughed terribly.

Then the assistant heard, Winnie said to herself: "It should be time to let others see his minions! Winnie Adams is not Adams, but Sefrosa!"

…………

…………

While Winnie was in a meeting, Abel called Phila and scolded her slightly.

But she didn't really scold her, she just blamed her for not telling herself.After I go back, I must punish her, if there is another...

He didn't threaten too much. When it comes to the next time, the Ukrainian girl on the opposite side will cry and say sorry.

It made Abel coax her...

Then hang up the phone.

He shook his head and decided to deal with minor troubles.

He looked at the setting sun in the west, casually checked the stock price of the listed stock of [Caribbean Passion Films] on his mobile phone.

Caribbean Passion Film Company: The current stock price is US$2.35, and the market value is US$1.386 billion.

so cheap?

Isn't that Mr. Bill Williams a billionaire?Isn't it the boss and largest shareholder of a listed company?Then the best way to retaliate against him is not personal attacks and market competition. That would be too low-level.

Abel decided to deal with you guy in what he is best at.

What is he best at?

Mr. Sefrosa is number one in the world!

Uh...Although this aspect is very powerful, it has the function of making anyone pregnant if they want.But there is no way to retaliate against men in this respect...

In addition to this aspect, his greatest strength is actually the invincible terrorist ability in the financial market brought about by the special smoke of fate.

The best way to deal with a small listed company and the small boss of this listed company is to make his company worthless!

How to make a listed company worthless?

In China’s stock market, it’s very difficult to do, unless the other party kills.But on the American side, there are many ways.

The easiest way is nothing more than malicious shorting!

Malicious short selling is actually very simple. Through false transactions, self-buying and selling, and market manipulation, it will eventually cause self-confidence against the target, and eventually undermine the other party's market value, and even make the other party delist or go bankrupt.

There are many examples of business wars where the hostile company’s share price plummets, delisted from the market, and even on the verge of bankruptcy.There are many examples of European stock markets and US stock markets that allow legal short selling.

As for why, the stock market here allows malicious short selling, but China does not allow it...

Probably this is the difference between socialism and capitalism!However, this difference is actually mutually beneficial.

China, which does not allow malicious shorting, can guarantee the greatest possible suppression of the financial market. This also ensures that the financial oligarchs will not be allowed to grow, and that it is absolutely impossible for China to have such things as Wall Street.

However, there are disadvantages to not being short. The disadvantage is that it will make it difficult for the stock market to sound and develop.

Even, because of the inability to short-selling, a very bad phenomenon appeared in China's stock market. As a result, on the Huaxia stock market, when it comes to IPO, the first reaction of China's stockholders will be two words-"money."

Anyone who has ever speculated in A shares knows that many domestic companies in China are good at "changing faces". The prospectus is written very beautifully. After half a year after listing, the performance has plummeted, and the situation described in the prospectus is "no two shares"!

Abel believes that the main reason for this situation is that the cost of fraud by companies in the A-share market is too low; the delisting system is not true; too many stakeholders are involved, making supervision difficult to implement.

Compared with the A-shares that only have money-strapping functions, the US stocks, Hong Kong, London and other markets will be relatively mature and regulated.The reason is inseparable from the horror and power of short-selling power.

Because in the market, there are short-selling powers in mature markets. If a listed company dared to commit fraud or misrepresentation and other violations, it would give short-selling institutions a fair word, and they would definitely not give up such a good opportunity to make money.

Abel is on Bloomberg and has seen a few examples of this.Some Huaxia companies that are accustomed to the market rules of Huaxia, and companies addicted to the money circle went to the U.S. stock market to go public, but they played the China stock market.

The results of it?

For example, on March 24, 2018, Huishan Dairy, a Chinese company listed on NASDAQ, collapsed suddenly.The intraday drop reached 90%.In just half an hour, Huishan Dairy's share price fell from 2.496 to 0.42 U.S. dollars. If the market value is converted into soft sister coins, it will be as high as 13 billion-the market value of this company is only 16.5 billion soft sister coins.

The reason why this company is so miserable is because a company that specializes in short selling has been eyeing this Chinese company listed on the US stock market.

The short-selling agency, Alligator Investment, published an article on the US stock market accusing the company of exaggerating profit margins by falsely claiming that all alfalfa is self-supplied, some ranches are suspected of capital expenditure fraud, and the actual controller may have leaked the value of the listed company at least 150 million U.S. dollar assets, etc., and even if there is no financial fraud, they seem to be on the verge of default due to excessive leverage.

In addition, most of the issued shares of Huishan Dairy have been used as collateral for the loan. If the borrower is unable to pay the deposit, the long-term holder will face significant risks.

In less than half an hour, the stock plummeted, losing more than 90% of its market value.The malicious short Alligator Investment, before publishing the article, had long shorted Huishan Dairy's stocks through several brokers through high leverage.

Huishan Dairy suffered heavy losses and almost delisted.And the crocodile investment made 300 million US dollars in a few hours...

It has become a typical example of a very successful business war in Wall Street.

Abel now wants to do Bill Williams’ [Caribbean Passion Films] in this way.
