Chapter 1149: Chapter 152: Look up, look at this sky, there is no God above!_2
With the Democratic Party in power, many politicians use private prison issues as their core political stance.
“The investigation order signed by Attorney General Javier, gentlemen, to restrict private prisons, starting with the United States Correction Company!”
The United States Correction Company was simply caught spying on Cheng Daqi’s safe house construction site by a private detective and was summarily put on the table.
Under pressure from Nanxi, Cheng Daqi seemed a bit embarrassed, and Niusen was even stripped of his status as Crown Prince.
But with just a small move, they were poised to devour a company with a market value of over a billion US Dollars!
—————–
As the SFPD began investigating the United States Correction Company according to the Attorney General’s orders.
On a yacht off the coast of San Francisco, Cheng Daqi, dressed in casual beach attire, was sitting on the sofa smoking with Niusen.
The owner of the yacht, Magnus, the businessman who prospered from internet microloans, sat respectfully to the side.
Niusen had been stripped of his Crown Prince status, but to outsiders, it was only speculation; he only knew that his previous flattery of Cheng Daqi had not gone to waste.
Before, he could meet Niusen, but could not become a guest of honor.
Now, following Cheng Daqi, he had seen the pinnacle of power in America.
This also showed that flattering the boss in moderation can genuinely make an impression on the boss—at the very least, not land you on their blacklist.
“How much did you buy?”
Looking at the stock trend curve of the United States Correction Company on his phone, Niusen asked Cheng Daqi with some curiosity.
“Three million dollars, just a bit of small money.”
The United States Correction Company is a listed company, but its market value is only over a billion, with even less circulating, just over seven hundred million.
The daily trading volume is under twenty million, so Cheng Daqi’s three million short sale directly knocked almost fifty million off its market cap.
“Okay…”
Niusen muttered.
He actually shorted too, but only put in a small sum of over a hundred thousand.
The Governor was afraid.
Following Cheng Daqi, Niusen had eaten one pie after another, and had seen little cash.
After so many lessons, he really should have learned to be more cautious.
“You can also give it a try, the United States Correction Company is about to go down, now’s not too late to short it.”
Cheng Daqi said to Magnus with a smile.
One must care for his own crew, and Xiao Ma is pretty savvy, so naturally, Cheng Daqi wouldn’t forget him.
“Huh? Yes, yes, but for shorting a company like this, stocks available to borrow won’t be too many, right?”
With a market value of only over a billion dollars, the number of shares available for shorting might just be a few tens of millions at most.
Cheng Daqi borrowed thirty million, which is practically draining one-tenth from the pool, so Magnus wasn’t sure how much more he could borrow.
“Give it a try, our Attorney General Javier has already issued an investigation order against their founder, wait…”
As Cheng Daqi said this, he was suddenly startled by a flash of light.
Riel rushed up almost immediately, taking control of the yacht staff daring to secretly photograph a talk among the bigwigs.
Magnus was dumbfounded by what he deemed his subordinate’s crazy behavior, and he hurriedly stood up to explain.
“Chan, I…”
Glaring at Niusen, who had a mocking expression, Cheng Daqi helplessly signaled him to shut up.
“Stop, you sit down first, Riel, take the phone and destroy it, and examine her again later.
By the way, is this person someone you recently hired?”
“No, she’s an old employee of mine, kind of a housekeeper for my yacht,” Magnus replied sweating.
Although Riel was broad-shouldered and robust, he was exceedingly disdainful of women, so the female staffer could still speak up.
“Sorry! Mr. Niusen, I’m a supporter of yours! I was just a bit excited!”
Fans chasing celebrities to the scene of the bigwigs’ meeting, the capitalist baby nurtured by America, in terms of absurdity, wasn’t any less than Hua Country’s giant infants.
Niusen touched his nose with an annoyed look, Cheng Daqi sighed, and Riel was already holding her mouth shut in disgust.
“Since she’s your person, how do you plan to handle it?”
This was not a question Magnus could answer.
“I will abide by your decision,” Xiao Ma said submissively.
Cheng Daqi nodded to Riel, who then dragged the absurd woman away.
“Unexpected, but not entirely surprising, Magnus, you need to understand, if you want to join this game, you must be prepared.”
The Governor personally imparted advice, and Magnus was fortunate.
“She might not be just an ordinary fan; we’re being watched by many, every call monitored, which is why I always have someone meet you in person whenever I reach out to you.”
Cheng Daqi added, for he had high hopes for Magnus.
Young, and intelligent, most importantly with a proactive attitude towards advancement.
“I understand, Chan,” Magnus replied candidly.
Cheng Daqi gave him a deep look, uncertain whether this new player truly understood.
Power, for insignificant people, just touching it might lead to death.

“Any decision that isn’t careful enough is disrespectful to our dedicated diplomats. While we do not oppose a new special appropriation bill, I must point out, this bill’s specific clauses have not undergone proper procedural review.
Some people attempt to force me to abandon my principles by emphasizing a dangerous situation, as if America has already become a stray dog.
Put away such fantasies, the situation hasn’t deteriorated to the point that it necessitates ‘immediate’ action.
Even if the facts are as you say, then our best response is to send the military to bring back those diplomats who could be killed at any moment!”
