Diane Sawyer's full coverage of the North Hollywood Bank of America robbery is getting her reward at ABC!

"Hello, friends in front of the TV, hello everyone, I am your new friend Diane Sawyer."

“Welcome to [Good Morning America]! Yesterday’s [Bank of America robbery in North Hollywood] resulted in 6 deaths and 42 injuries, including 2 Los Angeles Police Department state troopers with minor injuries, 2 city police officers dead, and 1 seriously injured.

County police officer dies….”

"In response, I express my condolences. This morning Governor Mr. George delivered a speech and announced that during his term of office, budget investment for police and fire protection will be strengthened, and a law will be proposed to strengthen police attendance and strengthen weapons."

"There are a total of twenty-four decorated police officers, namely..."

Every time a person's name was read on the TV screen, photos of them in police uniforms would be pushed out. When a name called "Prince Shay" was read, Tao Xi was stunned for a moment.

"Prince Shea! The Capitol Hill Police Department seconded detectives to kill the suspect in the case and successfully recovered the stolen U.S. banknotes from the Bank of America."

When Diane Sawyer introduced the background of this rookie policeman, Tao Xi stood up directly in the visiting room and pointed to his godfather: "That's him! I remember very clearly, he is just a trainee who doesn't even have a train epaulette.

Rookie cop who didn’t tear it off!”

Bolton sat in a chair and watched the news on TV and said calmly: "Any story, as long as it is a good story, will have a side that is seen and a side that is covered up."

Tao Xi sat across from his godfather and sighed helplessly after hearing this: "You talk about freedom and openness, but you do more dirty things behind your back than anyone else."

When Bolton heard his godson's words, he touched his head and joked: "Don't forget, you are also a beneficiary of this society!"

The visiting room is only 6 square meters. Apart from an iron table and iron chairs welded to the ground, the only remaining thing is a TV set embedded in the wall. However, Tao Xi and Bolton seem to have adapted to the environment here.

There is also a gift on the table that Tao Xi bought for his godfather from outside the prison.

Since Los Angeles Prison No. 86 was reduced to a private prison, Los Angeles Prison No. 86 can be said to be changing day by day.

Even Tao Xi, who had been here several times, did not recognize the environment here. If it had not been for the guards guarding the prison or those people he was familiar with, Tao Xi might have gotten lost when he came to visit the prison this time.

"I heard that [Neal Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] has been doing well recently. Are you investing in it again?"

When Tao Xi heard these words from his godfather, he immediately became energetic: "Yes! A large part of Marco's hospitalization and illness money was taken out from there. I suddenly found that being a boss is not bad, so I decided

I continued to invest in him.”

"I have now hired a man who once opened a candy factory in San Francisco as a manager. The financial situation has been improving recently."

After hearing his godson's answer, Bolton held two wooden balls in his hands and kept circling them.

"Are you planning to quickly expand the scale of your fast food chain? I have a lot of money in hand right now, and I think you can use this money to invest in your fast food chain to expand its scale."

When Tao Xi heard that his godfather had money, his first thought was to refuse.

"That...money...is..."

Bolton was embarrassed to speak after hearing Tao Xi's hesitation for a long time.

Bolton laughed heartily and slapped Tao Xi on the head: "Those things you know are all given to you by me. Can I not know that the source of this money must be clean? That money is invested in this institution.

It’s from the prison’s foundation, and the source of the money is very clean!”

Tao Xi didn't hide with a silly smile on his face, and just let his godfather pat his forehead.

Until Bolton said, "There is no problem with the source of the funds."

Tao Xi's mind immediately thought of the already popular concept of "drive-in theater": "Oh! God, actually I have been worrying about one thing recently."

"I wonder if you know the concept of movie theaters? I recently opened a store on Sunset Boulevard in North Hollywood."

"In order to make that huge investment store make money! Inspired by Gerry Lively, I converted the parking lot originally used to serve users into a [drive-in cinema]!"

"Uncle Bolton, do you know how much our store's revenue has increased when we recently played the old movie "Once Upon a Time in America"?"

Bolton was a little confused when Tao Xi asked him this. Bolton actually didn't know much about business operations.

But since he went to prison, the disintegration within the Blood Gang has basically happened in the blink of an eye. Bolton voluntarily surrendered to prison because of his struggle for power and self-blame.

Until the appearance of Tao Xi, the godson, many key members of the Blood Gang became active again after being dormant for several years.

But Bolton doesn't want to go back to the old path of the Blood Gang. In Bolton's view, the gangster is a product of the old society, and he doesn't want to let the old people who are still willing to believe in him continue to work in this industry!

He wants those old people to also have the "right to live under the sun"!

Therefore, Los Angeles Prison No. 86 was privatized and the [rd Foundation] was established. The word rd has nothing to do with the Blood Gang. It is just the English acronym of "Discipline".

The establishment of the [rd Foundation] also officially announced that Bolton was separated from his comrades who were contrary to his beliefs!

When the United States first began to have the concept of "private prison operators," it was not tried in its own country, but in Cuba, not far from it.

This is followed by places like Hawaii and South America. However, as the crime rate in the United States continues to increase, the U.S. government's finances are stretched thin.

Finally, in Texas, California and several other state capitals, [private prison operators] and [state-owned prisons] have become businessmen’s games!

Of course, those prison guards and wardens are still within the scope of the state, and those [private prison operators] need to make money from the prisoners.

For example, letting prisoners engage in low-cost labor, asking prisoners to pay rent in order to improve their treatment in prison, etc. Therefore, the first industry that [rd Foundation] with a gang background reaches out to is [private prison operators].

Because of Jeffrey Kyle's laissez-faire and the multi-faceted efforts of the [rd Foundation], the [rd Foundation] obtained the operating rights of Los Angeles Prison No. 86 after paying a price of US$3.7 million!

This was also the first step for the [rd Foundation] to move into the sunshine. However, Bolton, who did not know much about business, did not know what to do with the remaining US$5.4 million in his account after that.

After the chain of fast-food restaurants in Taosi opened, Bolton asked Kushner to lead people to investigate and open the door to the [Neal Brothers Hot Dog Fast-food Restaurant]!

Don’t think that in the United States, you are just a restaurant business person. If you don’t provoke them, what does the gang have to do with you?

Then you are wrong. If you can get the protection of a local gang, you will not only have a good environment for customers to eat, but your customers will often send some banners to your store that say "help others and make money without shame".

Without any other reason, the U.S. economic order was on the verge of collapse in the early 1980s.

You must know that sanctioning others and the cold war are tactics that can kill 1,000 enemies but only cause 800 losses. Coupled with the fact that the United States has failed in many foreign wars, it has led to frequent problems in the United States.

It was very difficult to do a good business in the 1980s!

So it is under this circumstance that [Neal Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] can be open 24 hours a day. The two things that Bolton likes the most are "labor force in the restaurant industry" and "possessing skills"

thing.

[Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] can do it. Because of Neilta's presence, it can be said that 70% of the employees of [Neil Brothers Hot Dog Fast Food Restaurant] are from the Blood Gang. As for the 30%, they are a group of people.

Just a female college student.

Bolton seemed to see his way out in an instant. Although Tao Xi did not want him to participate in the operation of the [fast food restaurant], as Tao Xi's godfather, he was not angry. Instead, he listened carefully to what Tao Xi explained to him.

"Old West did some calculations. If you count the revenue of that [drive-in theater] alone, this [drive-in theater] can earn $4,000 a day if there are good movies."

"And this movie has been shown in the United States. What if we really become a theater company?"

"I have calculated that if we apply to the Motion Picture Association of America to establish a theater company, we only need to fill out a form and pay them a 0.5% ticketing system service fee every year, and we can be in business."

"And our [drive-in theater] only needs to rent a parking lot, curtains, computers, and cash register equipment, and we can open this theater!"

"Isn't it very easy? And maybe Godfather, you can go to Hollywood to make a movie for fun. As long as you have a good director and good actors, you can make money. I heard that not long ago, there was a film about dogs saving their owners.

The movie made its money back at the box office on its opening day."

Bolton immediately fell into deep thought after hearing Taosi's words.

It wasn't that he was very interested in Hollywood, but it suddenly occurred to him that what the New York mafia loved to do in the 1970s was to make movies to launder their huge amounts of money.

"Okay! I'll think about it and give you an answer this afternoon at the latest."

Tao Xi was stunned when he heard that his godfather said he would get an answer within one day: "Uncle Bolton, don't worry, after all, the money is not yours alone. You can think more about it. I just have this problem."
