Chapter 1929
Means are neither good nor bad.

It's like tools, tools are not created to be labeled as good or evil, including those weapons that are used to take life.

The means are actually the same.

While Jerry & Deiss Group was facing the biggest crisis in history, Lynch's other methods also began to appear.

The tax bureau was the first to come to the door. Someone wrote an anonymous letter to report tax evasion in several important subsidiaries of the Jerry & Deiss Group.

In fact, according to federal reporting standards, an anonymous report does not necessarily require an immediate response.

You can procrastinate and clean up these anonymous report letters when there are free human resources.

There is a cost for any government agency to arrange investigation and evidence collection.

It does not mean that because it is a government agency, there is no cost. This is actually a wrong view.

At a time when human resources are stretched, investigating these anonymous reports will increase the human cost.

For example, increasing temporary positions, seconding from other organizations, etc., all of these are paid.

Because anonymous reporting is anonymous, it is a reporting method that does not bear any legal consequences, and the whistleblower cannot be found, so the weight of anonymous reporting is very low.

Only when the human resources in the organization are idle, will there be a choice to select some anonymous reports for investigation and evidence collection.

In fact, it also proves that most anonymous reports are tinged with retaliation. They are not really reported, but just to cause trouble for others.

So logically speaking, the anonymous report against Jerry & Deiss Group should not be taken seriously.

Moreover, this is not a period of idle human resources, but the Federal Taxation Bureau has launched a tax investigation around several important subsidiaries of Jerry & Deiss.

All accounts, funds on the books, and bills are all frozen.

Hundreds of millions of funds were temporarily frozen, and stocks were sold in a panic before trading was suspended.

In addition, people from the Immigration Department also joined in. Someone reported in real name that Jerry & Deiss Group hired illegal immigrants.

The work of a large number of companies has come to a standstill, undergoing immigration background checks on employees.

At the very beginning, we found a few stowaways who did not have social insurance account numbers or legal entry procedures.

These people will be sent back to their country, and the people who hired them will also be fined.

Not a lot of money, but a lot of time wasted.

Such institutions with some powers have begun to investigate the Jerry & Deiss Group, and these investigations and requests for cooperation are in line with judicial procedures.

The judicial process is always the most important link in the federation, even if the presidential palace and Mr. President stand behind it all.

If it does not comply with the judicial process, it is tantamount to sending the handle to the other party, but as long as it conforms to the judicial process, Jerry & Deiss Group must cooperate.

This is the power and obligation conferred on each other by the charter, and no one can be exempted!
In normal times, this kind of investigation can be said to be painless for a consortium.

Whether it's a fine, tax recovery, or any other punishment, for a consortium with a market value of 20 billion and a deep background, it's not even a harm!

They have enough people to take the blame, and it looks like some of the problems involve jail time, but it's really not a big deal.

But now, things are a little different.

The selling and sniping in the financial market made Jerry & Deiss Group very passive. They could feel that someone was embezzling their shares, and they were fighting back.

For shareholders, their counterattack is to increase the repurchase price if shareholders feel dangerous and plan to sell their shares.

They can offer multi-part agreements, the most common way of which is to increase the repurchase price by contract.

100 yuan of stock, 30 yuan of repurchase, and now the overall stock is progressive, this is actually very attractive.

Another common one is the VAM agreement. The consortium temporarily does not spend money to acquire the shares held by the shareholders, but the shareholders do not sell the shares held by them.

After a certain period of time, such as three months or six months, if the stock price can rise back, or even rise even higher, then no one will take any action.

Shareholders are still shareholders, consortiums are still consortiums, nothing has changed.

But if the stock price is lower than the stock price at the time of the VAM plan, then the repurchase will be carried out according to the percentage of the decline, or the negotiated proportion and order weight.

For example, if a stock worth 100 yuan expires and is only worth 80 yuan, the company that makes the bet will compensate 25 yuan, so that the shareholders will not only lose money, but also earn 5.00%.

These are two common "defensive" methods. The first one is very simple, as long as there is enough money, there is a great demand for short-term funds of the consortium.

If it is not a critical moment, external funds can be introduced to complete the anti-acquisition.

It belongs to those who give themselves a knife and then give others a knife.

The second method has little financial pressure in the short term, and shareholders, especially those who tend to develop steadily, tend to choose this method.

Because they won't lose anyway.

Stocks come back up, business as usual.

The stock fell too hard, and they made more money instead.

The former plan tests the comprehensive strength of the enterprise, while the latter plan tests the financial means of the enterprise and the confidence of shareholders in the future.

There are not many ways that Jerry & Dyce Group can operate now, because many companies are in a state of shutdown for investigation.

The accounts of several large companies were temporarily frozen due to tax reports, and the already insufficient funds were even more restricted.

They can't come up with so much money, and the way to stabilize the shareholders now is to sign a gambling agreement with the shareholders.

Of course, the details of this VAM agreement will not be that simple, and there will be more additional terms, but this is one of the few choices they have now!

After another two days, the situation of the blackout has been effectively alleviated, and at the same time, Skynet Service Company began to build a new power grid on a large scale in the blackout area.

The court has also closed the case, because the leadership and management of all the companies involved in the case admitted that they were trying to manipulate the market through their own influence, so the crime of monopoly was established.

The next step is to split the company in accordance with the judicial process and auction part of the entity's property rights.

The proceeds from the auction will be taken to the state as part of the fine.

The federal judiciary won't say so blatantly. They will only say that it is a fine, but they will never mention the whereabouts of the fine.

If someone asks, they will tell those people that the money will be used for social infrastructure, maintenance of public facilities, etc.

But in essence, it still enters the treasury.

It stands to reason that this series of splits and auctions may have to wait for a while, and the bank will give details of the split and an assessment of the value of the entity's property rights.

But when power and capital began to cooperate, the whole process was undoubtedly accelerated!

The Federal Blackstone Bank, as a third party for the specific value assessment of the entity's property rights, undertook the auction of this part of the entity's property rights.

It only took four days from the closing of the case to the start of the auction!

Skynet Service Company has obtained approximately 30.00% of the state's existing power grid entity property rights, and on the basis of this part of the main power grid, it has begun to radiate to the outside world.

It is estimated that on the ninth day to the tenth day of the blackout, the power supply in more than 80.00% of the five regions of the entire state will be restored!
All the good news that is good for society related to Jerry & Deiss Group has become bad news for the consortium.

Frank is already in a state of desperation. He has contacted many big capitalists and big consortia.

They all only agreed on the surface to stand with them when necessary, but until now, no one is willing to intervene.

The presidential palace has retained the last sliver of sanity, and not messing around is a key.

The justice of the judicial process makes it difficult to intervene rashly, and secondly, the kidnapping of public opinion by the federal government makes it difficult for everyone to intervene.

If you are not careful, you will be labeled as a "capitalist who drinks human blood".

Frank is frantically contacting everyone who can reach out, and Lynch is also on the phone constantly.

With a market value of 20 billion, he only needs half of it, and the rest is the benefit he promised others not to intervene!

The only way to defeat big capital is to use capital means. It's not that Mr. Truman doesn't understand this truth, but he doesn't understand it thoroughly enough.

He always believed that as long as he stood at the highest point, the Federation would have nothing to embarrass him.

When he really stood on the highest point, even higher than the highest point he imagined, he was still powerless against the high-rise buildings in this country!

He looked at the methods used by Lynch, he looked at the greedy faces of those capitalists, he looked at the consortia that dared to be tough and are now struggling to support...

He knew this moment before he realized the influence of capital on this country!

The Federation is not the Federation of any President, it is the Federation of the capitalists!

In the middle of the night, Mr. Truman was sitting alone in the study drinking wine. In fact, judging from now, the blackout has come to an end.

After the power grid is repaired, most of them have started to supply power, and the Jerry & Deiss Group is likely to become a thing of the past.

He heard that the market value of Jerry & Deiss Group has evaporated by more than 6 million in this week, and 30.00% of the market value has disappeared!
And this momentum will continue until it is all split up and delisted for reorganization!
Once the start button of destruction is pressed, there is no chance to stop.

Even now, he is not qualified to stop!

The seemingly calm financial market has actually gone crazy long ago!

He just suddenly felt a little short of breath, with obvious pressure and resistance when breathing.

He has to drink some, or he won't be able to sleep at night.

Lynch told him that Jerry & Days would be dismembered by June this year at most, and the Jerry family would completely become a thing of the past.

As for the Daisy family, as a political family, they will also become a thing of the past.

Because the capitalists who stand on their corpses will not allow them to return to the core of the Federation through elections.

That is irresponsible to oneself and irresponsible to society!
In fact, from the beginning, he felt that Lynch and Jerry & Days should be a "confrontation" of equal strength.

Instead of being overwhelmingly crushed like now!
