The Wolf of Los Angeles - Chapter 332
If it were other time periods, the red and blue sides might make peace, but in the election year, I wish I could catch more pain from each other and gain an overwhelming advantage.
In this term, California has 55 electoral votes, the largest in the United States.
The unextinguished fire in Los Angeles has burned a hot battlefield for both donkeys and elephants.
For some things, Hawke only needs to follow the trend and Brian will execute them without any discount.
It’s not that Hawk has magic, but that Brian, an American politician, has inherited the consistent spirit of America.
Contracts and agreements are bullshit.
Facing Antonio, Brian first made a verbal promise that as long as he voluntarily resigned, the past will pass.
Perhaps the case of Schwarzenegger and Davis gave him an illusion, or perhaps Antonio had no choice. On the occasion of mid-August, Antonio held a press conference to remove a group of feminist positions led by Karen Crowley, and then resigned from the position of mayor of Los Angeles.
At the press conference, Antonio admitted that he had made a mistake in formulating the fire budget. Not only did he attribute issues such as appointing female firefighters, but he also claimed that he had promoted the “Guagua Fish Protection Act” and so on.
In short, when the mayor stepped down, he carried all the thunder that the California Donkey Party was attacked by public opinion.
Such situations are too common in politics.
Not to mention anything else, there are always banned dealers in LAPD, and there will always be a person carrying lightning after a few years.
According to California law, if one party voluntarily withdraws from the removal election, the other party will automatically win.
With Antonio resigning, Brian became the new mayor of Los Angeles.
The latter resigned as mayor of Kovina as early as last month.
After the official passage of the Los Angeles City Council, Brian and Antonio began the handover.
Both sides look like Schwarzenegger and Davis, and everything is very tacit on the surface.
Brian’s plan naturally has to be carried out after the handover.
As for the promise, America’s commitment to its allies is Brian’s attitude.
It looks like you and I, everyone will be stabbed in the back soon.
As water from north-central California was mobilized and after the state legislature passed relevant amendments, rescue forces from several nearby states entered Los Angeles, and the fire in Los Angeles was completely controlled.
Many city councillors suffered consecutive losses in the fire and chaos, and the property of other councillors was directly threatened, and they passed Brian’s proposal at an extremely fast speed.
After Brian signed and agreed, Schwarzenegger sent the National Guard to Los Angeles to maintain post-disaster security.
The old blacks who set fire everywhere calmed down.
The fire that lasted for more than 20 days was finally extinguished.
In many residential areas in northern Los Angeles, wooden houses were not even left behind, only ashes were left.
Post-disaster reconstruction is a long project, and many people can get a piece of it.
The venue burned by the fire was also a piece of fat.
Hawke and the Ferguson family’s Pacific Investment Company cooperated to acquire a trading company before the fire was over, and on this basis, jointly established a new company – West Coast Environmental Technology Group.
The company mainly engages in two aspects of business: one is to connect with municipal engineering, and the other is to provide vehicle equipment for fire departments and other fire departments.
The area of overfire in Los Angeles is as high as 387 square kilometers. Wherever the fire has burned, all trees and houses have turned into garbage.
West Coast Environmental Protection Company will soon sign a series of contracts such as “Purification of Los Angeles” with the municipal department, and then subcontract them.
“After this fire, the fire station equipment was consumed and all the remaining products were not available.”
On the Ferguson family’s estate, Brian sat in the living room and told Hawke and Mary Ferguson: “When the work is handed over, the city hall will sue Indian suppliers and hold them accountable, and Indians must compensate.”
Mary said: “The donkeys did a bad job, and it is understandable to pay for the inflated price, but the flame retardant they bought was a combustion aid, which is terrible.”
But Hawke knew that even if the Americans wanted to fight this transnational lawsuit and hold Indians accountable, it would not be easy.
Asan is easily cheated by people, but he is even more heartless when he cheats.
However, Indians in Los Angeles are different.
Hawke reminded: “The Qingshui Firefighting Company, which was hired by firefighters, used Indians on a large scale. They used fire to stop fire, which caused a greater disaster. Twitter received a lot of related videos, don’t let them go.”
Brian understood as soon as he heard it: “The City Hall will sue Qingshui Company. Citizens who are affected by their stupid behavior must also sue them and force them to pay high compensation. If you want to raise money in the short term, you can only sell the company at a low price.”
Hawke nodded slightly: “They are all using the latest fire trucks, and the fire-fighting equipment is also newly purchased. After the West Coast Environmental Protection Company conducts inspections, it will help the fire department solve the problem of vehicle aging.”
He thought for a while and said, “This company alone is not enough, it’s far from rebuilding the fire department.”
Mary interrupted: “The quality of products of European and American firefighting companies is guaranteed, but the cost is too high to generate higher profits like Qingshui Company.” Hawke thought of a good idea: “Purchase goods from the other side of the Pacific Ocean. I have joined the WTO there. My people have been there several times when promoting Twitter. Although Twitter cannot enter, I have seen their industrial production capacity. The exported products there are low prices and the quality is several levels higher than that of Indians. Send purchasing personnel to come over.”
The hollowing out of the industry in the United States is becoming increasingly serious, and buying European and American products is not cost-effective.
Mary said, “That’s what it was decided.”
Erica came from the study at this time and asked several people to join the study.
Mary walked in front.
Hawke and Brian walked behind.
Brian whispered: “The $5 million reward will be paid to your West Coast Studio account this afternoon.”
Hawke nodded slightly, “I won’t be polite to you.”
The two approached the door of the study at this time, and Brian said again: “We will talk later at the company level.”
Hogan followed into the study.
In this study, which is not much smaller than the living room, is not only Erica’s grandfather Paul Ferguson, but also Carter Ferguson, and Brian’s father Gordon Ferguson.

Paul asked a few people to sit casually, his eyes fell on Brian, and he asked, “Is the handover going smoothly?”
“It went very smoothly.” In addition to the few people he has been with, Brian’s team also has people specially equipped for him by the Ferguson family, who are not short of abilities and experience.
“Think more about things, don’t be impulsive.” Paul reminded him and turned to Hawke: “You did a great job, and even if you let me do it, you won’t be that way.”
The father Gordon always looked down on his son: “Without you’re giving advice, Brian wouldn’t be what he is today.”
Erica hurriedly said, “The plan was first proposed by Brian, and Hawke only made some suggestions.”
Paul glanced at his daughter and looked at Hawk again. He was just such a daughter. Even though the Ferguson family encountered difficulties in the future, it was not a problem to protect Erica with Hawk’s ability.
Every big family wanted to continue, but Paul keenly realized that the battle between donkeys and elephants became increasingly fierce and the division became increasingly serious.
Important figures on both sides have been unscrupulous in their work over the years. Once exposed, they will be a life-and-death battle.
Gordon said at this time: “Brian’s handover is over. Should he immediately launch an investigation into the donkey party forces led by Antonio?”
Paul is sure: “Yes, this is a must in the current situation.”
He looked at Hawke: “Don’t you agree? Tell me.”
Hawke’s purpose is very clear, making the donkey elephant fight in California more intensely, and it’s better to live to the death.
“In the current situation, we have started a war with the donkeys. Even if we want to truce, the donkeys will not stop.” He said quickly: “California has the largest number of electoral votes in the United States, which determines the importance of California, and donkeys cannot tolerate any mistakes.”
“In the latest poll, the support rate of the donkey and elephant sides is almost the same,” Brian said.
Hawke continued: “California has been from red to blue for less than twelve years. Unlike San Francisco, where donkeys have truly controlled Los Angeles for less than five years. This is the best opportunity to change colors. If you miss this time, California will completely turn blue.”
Before this, the Elephant Party had always wanted to flip in California, and Schwarzenegger came to power last year, just a try.
He added: “The most important point is that it is related to our personal interests. If California turns completely blue, our upward space will be basically locked down, and Twitter even needs to consider moving out of California.”
Hawke looked at Brian: “It’s too difficult for you to go further. The governor and the senator have basically no hope. The House of Representatives also depend on luck. The war we launched is not for Washington, not for partisan disputes, but for ourselves, to expand a broader space for development for us.”
This was spoken in Paul Ferguson’s heart and agreed: “Your thoughts are basically the same as mine. What Brian needs to do is not only to make a sky for himself, but also to develop the family.”
Brian was under great pressure for a moment.
Erica glanced at her cousin, maybe this is the difference between men and women.
She can do what she wants to do within a certain range.
And Bryan needs to take on the burden of the family.
An agreement was reached in the study room and a new battle was finalized.
“Next month, the President will come to Los Angeles to visit the victims, and may stay in California for several days at that time,” Gordon said.
Paul said directly: “The battle will really start at that time, and involve all the party’s largest forces, and bring California back to red in one fell swoop.”
He looked at Hawke: “You got some stuff?”
The more critical the moment came, Hawke became more cautious: “It’s not really confirmed yet, I need a little time.”
After this brief internal meeting, everyone left one after another.
Brian finds Hawke again and wants to talk about the benefits of promises alone. (End of this chapter)
