Chapter 1675 A Gift for 332 Million People

"The main purpose of inviting everyone here today is to collectively handle the response plan for the acquisition of Western Wild Horse Fund!" In a rather cozy room, four people were sitting together, with no one else around them. However, if one's gaze moved away from the room, they would discover that almost four camp's worth of personnel were jointly protecting the safety of this small cabin.

After all, the people seated within this room were the ones who could truly influence the entire…

"Although the Jiangnan Group's deletion gains us no benefit, it will also delete almost all investor capital data."

"At that time, we can use this as a reason to directly absorb all the capital, and then shift the blame to the Jiangnan Group. The Jiangnan Group will then have to deal with the furious wrath of all American investors. I believe that at that time, the Jiangnan Group will have no trace of existence left in the world!"

"I believe we should discuss next how to deal with the Jiangnan Group's other piece of lucrative meat after resolving the Western Wild Horse Fund, which is 00 Network. This is the most valuable piece of meat in the entire Jiangnan Group, and it is also slightly more difficult. Compared to it, the Western Wild Horse Fund is simply too easy."

Indeed, the words of this executive were extremely ruthless, directly declaring someone else's property as their own. Such a tactic was truly insurmountable. And because the four major consortia practically controlled the entire United States in secret, they also had the ability and confidence to say such things.

If they were not genuinely afraid of completely destroying the economic foundation, the four major consortia could even print American currency themselves to use. They truly had such power and capability.

Therefore, this meeting, which was originally intended to discuss how to counter the Jiangnan Group, turned directly into a meeting about how to seize 00 Network. However, this meeting was not as smooth as imagined, because the difficulty of taking over 00 Network was much higher than that of the Western Wild Horse Fund.

The Western Wild Horse Fund itself was based on the entire financial system. Thus, facing the financial system, which was like their own pantry for the four major consortia, all it took was a flick of their fingers and the issuance of some administrative orders for everything to easily become their own property.

But 00 Network was different. 00 Network existed based on the internet, and its most precious asset was the user data, which had always been stored in the Jiangnan Group's global data centers. In fact, there was no data storage in the United States.

As long as they couldn't seize this data, they couldn't truly take over 00 Network.

Furthermore, 00 Network was a listed company, and many of its shares were held by numerous retail investors, many of whom were them themselves. If they directly attacked 00 Network, their own wealth would also shrink.

Therefore, how to safely and smoothly control the terrifying cash cow that was 00 Network became a continuous topic of discussion for everyone, but this problem was still too difficult.

This was because they discovered that the fundamental reason 00 Network achieved huge profits lay in the personal terminal and PC markets. Currently, 00 Network had basically completely monopolized the personal terminal and PC markets. The game market installed on all computers was basically 00 Network.

PCs were fine. Perhaps Microsoft could launch a new game store. But in terms of personal terminals, the Jiangnan Group had used its unilateral technological hegemony in personal terminals to forcibly stipulate that all personal terminals must use the 00 Network store. Otherwise, they would directly block the system, denying them the opportunity to continue using the Yunxiao operating system.

If they were to truly seize 00 Network, the Jiangnan Group could simply create a new network store and bind this new terminal to all of the Jiangnan Group's systems. Then, 00 Network would truly become a piece of waste paper.

Therefore, no matter how they discussed it, they had no good solutions and could only shelve the issue for now, focusing on harvesting the Western Wild Horse Fund first.

The relevant authorities gave the Western Wild Horse Fund a very tight deadline for disposal, only about a month. Within a month, the Jiangnan Group had to find a buyer for the shares in its hands, otherwise these shares would be frozen by the Supreme Court. As for when they would be unfrozen, it would depend on the intentions of the four major consortia.

And these frozen shares, to a certain extent, would fall into the hands of the four major consortia. This was also the most efficient way previously mentioned for the four major consortia to directly seize shares.

However, this method was jointly rejected by the DuPont consortium and the Rockefeller consortium. They felt that such a method would force the Jiangnan Group to extremes, leading to a mutually destructive scenario, which was not something they wished to see. It would be better to spend tens of billions of dollars to legitimately buy these shares, which would be a permanent solution.

And if the Jiangnan Group intended to play any other tricks, they would directly initiate the freezing case, disregarding any time limits, and freeze all the shares. Then, all of the Jiangnan Group's tricks would be useless.

Then, the Jiangnan Group actually began to play its cards.

The day after the meeting ended, the CEO of Western Wild Horse Fund, Junior Swift, suddenly appeared in Detroit. This former industrial pride had now completely turned into a rust belt, and the people gathered here were almost all black.

Because there were too many vacant houses here, it was easy to break into one or two houses and find them empty. Then, those black people who didn't have houses could move in directly. The homeowners couldn't even voice any objections.

Because according to the law, homeless people had the right to occupy unoccupied vacant houses, and even if they lived there for a long time, they could directly declare ownership of the house.

Junior Swift's sudden appearance in such a black concentrated area surprised the local black people. But Junior Swift quickly mingled with them. After all, they all had black skin, and Junior Swift was also a pride of the black community, the best example proving that black people could also possess outstanding financial talent.

Moreover, Junior Swift had been enthusiastic about various black public welfare activities over the years, donating a large amount of funds and providing a large amount of welfare and supplies to black people across the country.

Many black people in Detroit received monthly subsidies of two to three hundred US dollars from the foundation founded by Junior Swift. Therefore, they were very enthusiastic about Junior Swift's appearance. It was under the enthusiastic atmosphere of these black brothers that Junior Swift invited almost all global media and then, in front of the media, read out a statement.

The content of this statement was very long and contained many professional legal terms to avoid legal risks. Therefore, the content of this statement will be briefly restated here.

First, Junior Swift stated that after learning of the final ruling of the Supreme Court, although he personally regretted the outcome, he would resolutely execute this ruling, which was to hand over all of the 80% of Western Wild Horse Fund controlled by the Jiangnan Group, thus completely ending the Jiangnan Group's control over Western Wild Horse Fund.

This part of the statement was essentially a letter of surrender, indicating that Junior Swift and the Jiangnan Group behind him had completely conceded defeat. This made the representatives of the four major consortia very satisfied upon hearing this, but their satisfaction ended there.

Because next, Junior Swift stated that since the Supreme Court believed that the Western Wild Horse Fund was too large to be controlled by any single individual, and that the Western Wild Horse Fund had grown step by step with the support of all American investors, they decided to resolutely follow the Supreme Court's opinion and transfer the control of the Western Wild Horse Fund entirely to the American citizens, thereby completely achieving the decentralization of the Western Wild Horse Fund.

Finally, Junior Swift said with a smile that he decided to divide the Western Wild Horse Fund shares controlled by the Jiangnan Group into 332 million shares. The reason for this figure was that 332 million was the total population of the United States.

So, here comes the point. Junior Swift then stated that these 332 million shares would be distributed, one share per person, to all American citizens.

As long as the citizen was born before he made this statement, they could directly receive one share. American citizens only needed to log in to this website, sign a share transfer agreement directly with the legal department of Western Wild Horse Fund online, and then electronically stamp it, and they would immediately own a share of Western Wild Horse Fund.

Based on the current valuation of Western Wild Horse Fund, one share is worth about $2,000, and it also receives about $132 in dividends annually.

This is a gift from Western Wild Horse Fund to all its citizens.
