Chapter 403 (2/2)
No matter good or bad, as soon as the flow is large, it can become a weapon that stakeholders are very afraid of.
Frank William guy's temporary response is to fight back by questioning Gao Xian's asset management ability. No matter what Howard Hughes's real last wish, how can you, a rural rich man, deal with the huge assets in the United States? Don't be paranoid!
Gao Xian retorted: ”my professional ability has long been well-known. You can't deny it if you want to deny it. More importantly, I follow Mr. Hughes's last wish. The Howard Hughes foundation established by me will be an institution managed by Americans and serving the public. There is no problem of any asset transfer.”
The real solution is to organize a team of lawyers and prepare to go through the judicial process while spitting stars and fighting in the air.
Gao Xian selected several teleconference recordings with Howard Hughes and sent them to the media. After another storm, he began to visit influential official figures such as legislators in Las Vegas and Nevada to convey a message that once the Howard Hughes foundation is successfully established, its headquarters will be located in Las Vegas.
From the perspective of local interests in Las Vegas and Nevada, the Howard Hughes foundation, which is destined to have a very large asset scale, will have too many benefits if it is established and keeps its headquarters here. It is simply an irresistible temptation.
From the perspective of high string, once supported by Las Vegas and Nevada, at least half of the huge assets left by Howard Hughes will be robbed from the control of the ”Mormon Mafia”.
Frank William guy was very angry about this and followed Gao Xian to use his contacts accumulated over the years to lobby.
However, compared with the idea of establishing the Howard Hughes foundation in Las Vegas, the ”Mormon Mafia” plan to divide up assets is difficult to really arouse the interest of Las Vegas and Nevada officials.
In the increasingly exciting intrigue, Gao Xian secretly met an important figure, William Loomis, the trustee of the Howard Hughes Institute of medicine.
Although Howard Hughes has no children and divorced long ago, he still has many relatives. For example, William Loomis is a cousin of Howard Hughes. Judging from his ability to serve as the trustee of Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute, he should have a certain position in Howard Hughes' heart.
Gao Xian guessed that Frank William guy had already spent great efforts to win over William Loomis. The so-called ”Mormon will” donated US $625 million to Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute and US $156 million to Howard Hughes' relatives.
To be honest, Gao Xian really can't get such a big hand to win over William Loomis, but he also has his own routine.
”Once the Howard Hughes foundation is successfully established in accordance with Mr. Hughes's will, it will undoubtedly become a long-term institution continuously related to the honor of the family, and the outstanding personnel in Mr. Hughes's relatives are naturally qualified to serve in the foundation.”
Gao Xian drew a big cake for William Loomis and said, ”with the death of Mr. Hughes, Hughes Aircraft Company owned by Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute is afraid of an inevitable decline in national defense engineering contracting.”
”In fact, as a non-profit medical research institute, Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute is not suitable to hold Hughes Aircraft Company any more.”
”I am willing to use my own resources to help Hughes Aircraft Company sell a good price and raise funds for the development of Howard Hughes Medical Research Institute. This figure must be far more than US $625 million.”
”Of course, after the successful establishment of the Howard Hughes foundation, in addition to respecting the independence of the Howard Hughes Institute of medicine, support is also taken for granted.”
