Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 372 In the Name of the Robot, Becoming the Ruler of the Night
A new day at nine in the morning.

It's rare for Lao Li to appear in the president's office at the media headquarters.

He chatted and laughed with Fatty Bing and Ah Xin for a while.

Upon receiving the secretary's report, Jack Ma, Da Dongzi, and Lao Wang from Meituan all arrived.

Old Li laughed and said, "The matter I arranged to discuss with them has nothing to do with the media department. I'm going to the conference room now."

Fatty Bing couldn't help but chuckle, "You're going to choose one of them to be the CEO of a prison in America?"

"This is so bizarre. They're perfectly capable entrepreneurs, yet they give up being successful."

"Who would want to play a prison system with you? That's hilarious."

At the end of 2015.

Besides remotely controlling the development of the Time Group, which has a market value of over three trillion Hong Kong dollars, Lao Li also...

In addition to developing various cutting-edge technologies over a thousand miles.

Its biggest move is that it has acquired more than 35% of the shares of CCA, GEO and MTC, the largest private prison systems in the United States.

These are the three giants who monopolize private prisons across the United States.

Take CCA, one of the three giants, as an example.

It was listed on NASDAQ in 1986.

Its total market capitalization was $46 billion in January 2015.

There are approximately dozens of prisons and tens of thousands of beds throughout the United States.

Small prisons can hold only a hundred or so people, while large prisons can hold 2000 prisoners.

The three major prison authorities have a vast network of operations throughout the United States.

They have a chain of one or two hundred stores and can detain over 100,000 prisoners or illegal immigrants.

If Old Li is planning to disperse hundreds of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee vehicles across the United States.

The prison guards are replaced by robotic prison guards with a long range, equipped with a full set of drones and robot dogs?

This is a brand new version of Qianhai that's blooming everywhere.

A vast and promising commercial market.

He accomplished all of this with the help of Judas and the old men and women of Onsari who didn't want to die.

They wanted to successfully take over and incorporate the power.

Judas and the old men and women of Onsa also helped.

Old Li is also lacking a CEO now.

After all, there are three giants: two listed groups and one unlisted group.

Old Li shook his head, "It's not really about choosing from these three, it's about asking them to recommend helpers for me."

Will this accomplice be caught off guard and arrested without even realizing it?

It all comes down to how active Li is globally and how much hatred he still attracts.

You're saying that if a future CEO is arrested, convicted, and goes to jail, he can serve his sentence in a prison under his own name?
This requires an application.

Will you be imprisoned in a public prison or a private one?
It desperately needs to be operational.

The original figure for 2016 was 216 million officially registered prisoners in the United States.

There are 12.8 people detained in CCA, GEO and MTC.

The three giants primarily accept thieves who are healthy, disease-free, and commit non-violent crimes such as technology theft.

Then there are various illegal immigrants, economic criminals, and so on.

It's convenient and easy to manage, with minimal hassle.

They can also manage these tens of thousands of people who work as laborers, like sewing machines.

The prisoners in the Big Three now often earn less than a dollar an hour.

This is the United States in 2015, approaching 16, where prisoners earn less than 6 RMB per hour.

Even sweatshops can't compare.

Even in China these days, people work 12 hours a day and have no days off for a month.

There aren't many black factories that only pay 2100 yuan a month.

Not to mention that hospital bed fees and prices in the United States are much higher than in mainland China.

After exchanging a few more jokes with Fatty Bing and Ah Xin, Old Li walked out of the office and said to Jack and the other two outside the secretariat, "Let's go to the conference room."

"I invited you here today to ask you to do me a small favor."

"Whether you are interested in it yourself or you have someone to recommend you, it's fine."

"The three groups I recently acquired need a sharp and powerful CEO."

Jack Ma, "..."

He was still thinking about how to flatter the emperor.

Da Dongzi smiled and offered him a cigarette, lighting it for him. "President Li has ventured into a new industry? That's big news. It must include disrupting some industry, right?"

Compare Jack and Dongzi, who have known Lao Li for many years.

Wang Jianlin, the founder of Meituan, is still just a junior employee.

This is just the beginning of a new era for the eight million canal workers.

One of the largest sources of capital Meituan received during its early funding rounds was Alibaba.

However, he and Jack Ma have now fallen out.

Last month, Alibaba sold its stake in Meituan and exited the company.

Pony Ma, the founder of Tencent, is eager to negotiate with Wang Jianlin, hoping to become a new source of capital for Meituan.

Therefore, Lao Wang followed along in a low-key manner, like a lackey.

When Lao Li led the team to a small conference room, they dispersed and took their seats.

Da Dongzi acted as the tea-making assistant.

Old Li looked at Old Wang and smiled, "Young Wang, you're a talent too. Meituan's business is booming right now."

"It can attract a large number of unemployed and laid-off people to become delivery riders, which makes many things more convenient."

"But you can't keep using outsourcing to avoid paying social security for your employees."

"There are huge hidden dangers here."

"I'm not forcing you to immediately pay social security contributions for hundreds of thousands or millions of riders."

“If you don’t pay, I will support Lao Liu’s JD Express to enter the food delivery industry.”

"Now food delivery platforms are also absorbing far too many unlicensed and unregistered restaurants, which poses a huge threat to customers' food safety."

"If Lao Liu enters the market, he will definitely have to deal with the issue of unlicensed and unregistered stores."

It's currently a two-horse race, with Meituan and Ele.me locked in a fierce battle.

With Alibaba exiting Meituan, it will fully enter Ele.me next year.

If Da Dongzi is eliminated, it will be a triple kill.

Jack Ma's smile remained unchanged, but Old Wang broke out in a cold sweat.

Da Dongzi, who was making tea, laughed, "Mr. Li is right. Our full-time couriers at JD Logistics do have social security, although the percentage is not large."

"But I did hire them to work for the company and start a business together."

"It's not that they're partners, it's that this was handled so sloppily."

At this stage, Da Dongzi really looks down on Lao Wang.

The delivery rider who helps you deliver food is involved in a traffic accident or workplace injury.

Old Wang simply said that the other party was a non-employee, and that their injury had nothing to do with them.
Even if everyone is a capitalist.

That's incredibly heartless of you.

Moreover, this was only the early stage of the explosive growth of the food delivery industry.

We haven't yet entered the era where Meituan preys on merchants, customers, and delivery riders in a multi-layered and extremely ugly manner.

Old Wang was sweating even more and didn't know what to say.

Old Li changed the subject, saying, "The industry I recently acquired is the US private prison system."

"I've taken over all three of the major institutions in the United States that can simultaneously detain tens of thousands of prisoners."

"Let me give you a funny example. If one day you, Lao Liu, are falsely accused of raping a woman while you're with your girlfriend in the US, it's okay, just detain yourself in my prison."

"You can enjoy five-star hotel treatment anytime, just pay up."

"Even if I have to serve three to five years in prison, as long as I have money, it's fine."

"This industry is currently lacking a CEO."

The profit margin in this industry is not particularly high.

Compared to Jack Ma and Da Dongzi now, that little bit of money they make from profiting off the blood of prisoners is nothing.

That's really not a lot of money.

But the implied power and sense of authority are extraordinary.

Jack Ma's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in amazement, "Only someone like you, Mr. Li, could pave such a wide road, to all corruption and economic crimes."

"If you get caught and sentenced, do you want to be comfortable in jail, like staying in a hotel and working online?"

"That depends entirely on your mood."

The woman from Da Dong was falsely accused of raping a man after she became a voter? This example is a bit ridiculous.

But this involves the extended services following various crimes in the United States.

Whether it's economic crimes, murder, or all sorts of other crimes, as long as Old Li issues an order...

They can all allow prisoners to live like they're on a hotel vacation.

The three giants of the former CCA.

We do not accept violent criminals, seriously ill patients, or murderers, etc.

That's difficult to manage!

They only negotiate with the judicial system because they think those troublemakers are likely to cause trouble.

I don't want yours, so as to reduce management costs.

As long as honest, easily managed people are treated like slaves in prison!

This is one of the cost-saving and revenue-generating projects within a reputable corporate group.

Jack immediately understood that this private prison system had tremendous potential.

To put it bluntly, once you become CEO, you'll find yourself disliking everyone you meet while living in the US.

Find someone from a gang to teach them a lesson.

Whether it's beating, maiming, or killing.

At worst, you can let the black glove who does your work live in the prison you run and go on vacation.

You can also arrange for a sex worker to provide services at any time, including giving the other person a day off to go out and have fun.

This means that, under legal circumstances, they can manipulate and trample on everything that ordinary people do.

Only Lao Li could handle this kind of situation through his network of connections.

What if you replaced him, Jack? Even if you had the money to acquire shares in CCA, GEO, and MTC.

The current management team can also ignore you, the major shareholder.

Are you the real boss, or are you being treated like a blood bag to be sucked dry?

These are completely two concepts.

Why do many wealthy people like to immigrate to the United States after they become rich?

Immigrating to Europe?
The reason is that the world of capitalism is so magical that normal people simply cannot imagine it.

Having money sometimes allows you to do whatever you want in those places.

A chain of prisons scattered across dozens of states in the United States.

That's absolutely amazing!

Let's set aside these hidden powers.

Whoever becomes the CEO is like an ordinary wealthy person going to jail.

Some members of large families commit crimes, or triad tycoons are arrested, and they want to have a more comfortable time in prison.

They all need to build a good relationship with you.

Cultivating and building such a network is no small matter.

Most importantly, this is not a city like Los Angeles or New York.

It is scattered across one or two hundred acres of land.

Jack's Alibaba has been delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and listed in the United States, with a market value of over 2000 billion US dollars.

This also means that Lao Ma has been promoted to the head of a trillion-yuan behemoth enterprise.

But Jack Ma knew very well that compared to Old Li, his trillion-dollar tycoon status was insignificant.

After all, SoftBank and Judah already held more than 60% of Alibaba before the IPO.

After going public, Jackmai's shares were further diluted.

Meanwhile, the largest shareholders are all groveling before Li, hoping to become twenty or thirty years younger.

Old Li seems to have no connection with the Alibaba system.

In fact, once he made his statement, he was able to get all the major shareholders in the Alibaba group to join forces and oust Jack from his position.

Then comes the election of the next new leader.

The difference in strength between the two sides is so stark and obvious.

Does it involve the US prison system, such as the CCA? Without the help of those Judas and Onsahs...

If Jack Ma spends the same amount of money to acquire shares, at best he'll just end up with a huge bloodbath that others will suck.

They can't get any power at all.

Jack Ma can figure these things out quickly.

Da Dongzi and Lao Wang realized it after a few seconds.

The two of them also became very excited.

Old Li smiled and picked up a cup of tea. "You should carefully screen candidates and then recommend them. This position has many hidden advantages."

"Of course, there will be a little bit of risk."

"My drone sales have been going on for several years and are now very popular all over the world."

"Many medical robots are also very popular in the market."

"So in the next few years, I will push for prison guard robots to be introduced into CCA, GEO and MTC."

"We look forward to replacing manual management with electronic monitoring systems and robots."

Jack and his friends, who were just getting excited, were stunned again.

Then??
Jack started wiping his sweat. He knew that not long ago, thousands of drones had easily crushed two or three thousand young members of the Yamaguchi-gumi and Sumiyoshi-kai in Japan.

Machine systems have flourished across the United States.

What are the deeper implications of this matter?
Is Old Li, the Time Machine, going to become the ruler of America's night in the name of robots?!

A tycoon who calls the shots after 8 p.m. in the name of mechanization!

In the new prison system, the CEO's influence becomes exceptionally powerful.

CCA's total market capitalization was only $46 billion at the beginning of this year, but has now fallen to $30 billion.

Compared to Alibaba's more than 2000 billion dollars, it's insignificant.

He painstakingly and diligently built Alibaba's business empire.

In order to appease those Judas.

It still requires various concessions and following the other party's arrangements to pay various pledges of allegiance.

Having made it this far, I can now say I'm rich and have face.

And that's how power works.

Why am I suddenly so tempted to switch jobs and work with CEO Li on new business?
Old Li then chatted with the three of them for a while with a smile.

Such a major event, regardless of whether it attracts three capitalists to get involved themselves.

Or it's about attracting people they recommend to do the work.

There are no answers immediately.

Let them think about it for a while before we talk about it.

After seeing Jack, Ma, and the other two off, Old Li...

Alexandra Daddario, having heard the news, rushed over. The soon-to-be 30-year-old "Big Sister" was also a little excited. "Lee, do you want to dominate the American night?"

“Our family still has quite a few connections in New York.”

"At least in the future, you want to decide which prisoners to take in and which not to take in New York."

"These are easy to achieve."

This family of the "Big Sisters" has been working and accumulating wealth in New York for over three generations, spanning more than fifty years.

In fields such as prosecutors, courts, and the police, networks of connections are like the lair of spider demons.

The CCA and GEO systems had also cultivated relationships with them extensively in the past.

Of course, the network of connections behind Wall Street, including a bunch of Judas and Onssa elders, is even larger.

Old Li lit a cigarette and chuckled, "The Doctor Strange crew is flying to New York to film soon."

"I'll fly there with you to visit the set and get to know some of the important local figures."

The older sister smiled and nodded, "That's easy to say. By the way, after you take charge of the CCA group, do you plan to launch a large-scale expansion?"

Currently, the three major monopoly groups have only incorporated less than 10% of the prisoners in the United States.

They're not chasing profits, they're chasing influence.

She felt that Lao Li was going to make some new moves.

Old Li nodded, "Even if we double our profits in the next two years, or even if we go from stable profits to breaking even, or even incurring losses, it doesn't matter."

Once the Time System Era's CCA, GEO, and others control more than 20 beds.

More than 30 beds?

There were two or three hundred thousand men and women in prison, and not many of them were honest people.

The prison guard system will be replaced by robots in the future, but this will be done step by step.

In the early to mid-game, you'll still need natural human prison guards.

This includes recruiting batches of second- and third-generation overseas Chinese, or first-generation Chinese workers who have stayed in the US.

Being in ARMY and becoming an unconventional king is pretty good too.

He took good control of this large group and created this new business, which greatly increased his influence.
