Chapter 259: Shuanglong Red Stick Chaoshan Tsai
Zhang Ruiming picked up his wine glass, stood up, and prepared to leave the scene quietly. Since Ye Wen didn't want to meet him again, why should he embarrass both of them here, besides, he didn't plan to get too close to Fang Xiaoruan, he came over today to find out a little bit about the inside story of the film and television industry, but now the scene is so embarrassing, it is better to leave early.
He walked lightly, passing through the celebrities of Tianjin and Hong Kong who were sitting and talking in twos and threes, no one noticed Zhang Ruiming's departure, he quickly walked to a side door with a hidden screen, put the red wine glass in his hand back to the waiter holding the tray on the side, he straightened his collar, and stepped out with one foot.
Zhang Ruiming was just about to walk out, but his shoulders were gently hugged, and when he looked back, it was a familiar face - Wu Kaiming.
"Tsk......" Zhang Ruiming looked back and saw this man, but he was not surprised at all. Through Wu Kaiming's actions at the last auction, he could see that Wu Kaiming and Fang Xiaoruan were related, and their identities and positions were inclined to Fang Xiaoruan and Zhongyou brothers. At this time, he looked at himself with a smile, and his expression was about to speak.
"Zhang Jian is going back so soon?Don't sit down for a while?Is there anything urgent?"
Zhang Ruiming's relationship with Wu Kaiming at this time is neither friend nor foe, and he can't say a taste, in front of this scheming lawyer, Zhang Ruiming has to mention the spirit of twelve points in every sentence, and he hasn't torn his face with him at the moment, which is completely due to some old feelings in the past.
"Well, there's a little bit of a small thing at home, so I'll go first. As soon as Zhang Ruiming finished speaking, he got rid of Wu Kaiming's left hand holding his shoulder, he didn't want to say anything, and was ready to leave directly.
"Then Zhang Jian doesn't want to win this lawsuit?"
What kind of lawsuit? Zhang Ruiming stood still and looked back at Wu Kaiming suspiciously.
Wu Kaiming came closer at this time and said in a low voice: "Isn't your Municipal Procuratorate Civil Affairs Section now pushing for the investigation and filing of the 'Nanhui Pillar Damage Case'? You just happened to be here today, and you have the opportunity to really touch the true face of these people." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming glanced at him fixedly, although he didn't know where he got the news from, but the best reaction at this time was no reaction, he didn't say anything, he was about to turn around and leave, but Wu Kaiming stopped him unrelentingly.
"Ruiming, let me tell you, if you don't do something now, you won't be able to file this case!"
"What did you say?"
Zhang Ruiming paid attention to it at this time, turned around and walked in front of Wu Kaiming, looked at him with a solemn expression, and tried to read something from the face of this well-informed legal expert.
"You have to believe me first, I'm willing to help you......" When he said this, Wu Kaiming looked around, and saw that no one noticed the two people who were whispering, so he leaned into Zhang Ruiming's ear and whispered: "I heard about the development of this case, the city was originally forced by public opinion to prepare for your prosecutor to intervene and go through the procedures, but now the Zhongyou brothers and Fang Xiaoruan are vigorously active, and even the Voice of the Times reporter who wrote the article was invited over today, think about it, the following must be a whitewashing operation...... These people are very familiar with the manipulation of public opinion, and they will wait for the incident to subside. If your prosecutor's civil affairs department is holding Feng Binbin's file, then you won't even be able to enter the door of the Intermediate Court's case filing court......"
Hearing Wu Kaiming mention Ye Wen's matter, Zhang Ruiming was in a trance, but he quickly reacted, sneered, shook his head, and said: "Director Wu is too alarmist, don't you want to brainwash me like at the auction? Let's not talk about what you said and did yourself that day, just what you are saying now that "we can't even enter the door of the Intermediate People's Court to file a case"? This is simply a big joke in the world, our colleagues in the department have recently gone to the Intermediate Court to file a case, as long as this procedure is down, are you still afraid that these actors will run away?"
"Then you can try to ask your colleague to see if he has accepted the case today?"
Zhang Ruiming glanced at him suspiciously, walked two steps quickly, stood aside and dialed Wu Yun, waited a few times, and then connected the phone.
"Wu Yun, let me ask you something, the case you have in hand...... Where has the program come lately?"
Wu Yun's voice on the other side of the phone was a little stumbling, "This...... I ......"
"If you have anything to say, I won't eat you. Tell me something. ”
"Zhangtou, I wanted to talk to you about this this morning...... We sent the case to the Intermediate People's Court, but they didn't really want to take it, but they just said that the higher authorities would study and decide, so they pushed us back...... That's why I advise you not to wade into the troubled waters of this case. Even I feel that there is a lot of resistance in the city, and now I don't support us to sue this Meishen Age and that Feng Binbin at all, and I can't even find the address of their company...... You see, why did we do it before? Didn't you really want to take this seriously?"
Hearing this, Zhang Ruiming didn't know how to answer Wu Yun for a while, his expression darkened, and he hung up the phone after a few casual sentences. He paced back and forth for two steps, as if he had made up his mind, and walked back in front of Wu Kaiming.
"What do you mean by that, and what information can I get here?"
Seeing that Zhang Ruiming finally believed in himself, Wu Kaiming pulled up an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth.
"In this way, at the last auction at Carlsberg, I already told you a lot about their "capital operation" methods, which can only be regarded as teaching you some "theoretical knowledge", which will not be useful to you to bring down Fang Xiaoruan and Feng Binbin, and it just so happens that it is another such party, which is the most suitable for you to give you a "practical lesson". Look at the white-haired thin and tall over there, that's a famous investor in the circle, Li Qixian, he is a Hong Kong Yankee, and at the same time he is the Ssangyong Red Stick of Xinyihe. Look at the fat man over there, the one with the golden retriever, his name is Guy Bay, he is a "Chaoshan boy", he specializes in "small boat import and export", you look at the one over there, it is a ...... who sells powder"
Zhang Ruiming listened to Wu Kaiming and pointed to a few people in the hall now, as soon as he heard these black words in Wu Kaiming's mouth, he knew that there was a lot of hidden truth here, although these were sitting in danger, wearing Tang costumes, and drinking tea. looks like a humble attitude and a good citizen, if it is really like what Wu Kaiming said, what kind of "Shuanglong Red Stick", "taking a small boat to import and export", then the actual identity is not ordinary, "Shuanglong Red Stick" is the "senior staff" of Xinyi and this Hong Kong underworld organization, and is also the "punishment master", the strongest thug who was elected as "sitting in the hall", if it is true, then this Li Qixian is a senior boss with an underworld background.
In the past, the four special zones of Xiamen, Zhuhai, Shenzhen, and Shantou were established at about the same time, and in terms of geographical location, Shantou was completely inferior to any other place, but why is it that Shantou's development is far behind these places until now, and even now it is not connected to high-speed rail, and it has not even received any policy support from above? It is said that it is because smuggling is rampant in its area, and even "717" has been brewed 's Tianzi No. 1 case, it can be seen how prevalent the local smuggling trend is, and this person named Guy Bay is definitely not a figure to mess with.
Listening to what Wu Kaiming said was scary, but Zhang Ruiming looked at Li Qixian's honest and weak appearance now, and saw that Guy B. Bay had been wearing a small face since he entered the door, just like Maitreya Buddha, Zhang Ruiming really couldn't believe that these two people were actually underworld bosses with superior means.
"You're scaring me, aren't you? Where do these two people look like people who are engaged in these ways? It's not that I haven't handled a criminal case, and that big guy will be thin like this? Besides, what are they doing today to support Fang Xiaoruan's field? And "Double Dragon Red Stick"...... Mr. Wu, I haven't seen you for a while, but you have learned to be humorous. ”
Wu Kaiming didn't pay attention to the meaning of Zhang Ruiming's words, he said seriously: "Oh, it's because people are upgraded to big brother now, let me ask you, if you always have tens of millions of black money on hand, what way will you choose to launder this money?"
Listening to Wu Kaiming's words, Zhang Ruiming was keenly aware that this incident was now so serious that he could not ignore it. Yes, tens of millions of stable black money flows, then there must be a stable digestion circle to wash up, and the money laundering speed of the commonly used retail and hotel service industries is not enough to support the tens of millions of black money flows, and the three major money laundering routines commonly used abroad - "engage in charity, enter casinos, and make movies." Among them, since the Guo * Meimei incident, the tracking and feedback system of the charity industry has been improved daily, and it is no longer a place outside the law, but a casino...... Zhang Ruiming knows an inside situation, the video surveillance system of each large casino in Macau is actually connected with the Supervision Commission, and the information of the accommodation personnel in the nearby pick-up and drop-off hotel is also regularly filed and reported, so taking the road of the casino has long been blocked for these criminals who have money laundering needs in China.
So, now for the Li Qixian and the B Guy Wan in front of him, if he really wants to wash away the large amount of black money in his hands, he really relies on Fang Xiaoruan, the super elder of the domestic film and television industry.
Looking at Zhang Ruiming's thoughtful appearance, Wu Kaiming knew that his "fierce medicine" was effective, and he continued: "If Zhang Jian still doesn't believe it, you can look at the data, China's total box office last year exceeded 56 billion, but the top three movies accounted for 16%, and the remaining tens of thousands of movies - online movies, online dramas, short films, etc., etc., together only divided the remaining 84%, basically these films are losing money, and do you think the producers of these movies are stupid?"
"I've heard a little about this, but if you really say that those two people are what "Ssangyong Flower Stick" Li Qixian and "Driving a Small Boat" B Guy Bay, I really don't believe it that much. ”
Zhang Ruiming thought that Wu Kaiming would explain the identities of the two people again and again, but he didn't expect that the old fox would simply answer.
"Yes, I lied to you, that thin and tall is not "Shuanglong Flower Stick" Li Qixian at all, and that yellow-haired fat man is not "Chaoshan Yan" B Laowan, I lied to you, one of them is the chairman of the Yang of the Municipal Quyi Association, and the other is the boss of Chenggong International, neither of them has an underworld background......"
Zhang Ruiming shouted to Wu Kaiming sharply: "You have gone too far, and entertained me again!?"
Wu Kaiming didn't mean to make fun of Zhang Ruiming on his face, "I'm not entertaining you, let alone deliberately lying to you, I just want to explain a truth, do you know the "Crazy Martian" in this summer's file? That movie was made by the famous comedy Iron Triangle, Huang Bo, Environmental Qiang, and that ...... Xu Shan's movie of fighting together. You should also know what the status of these three in the domestic box office is, right? Together, the historical box office is close to 10 billion super big names! As a result, the final box office of "Crazy Martian" is only 2.1 billion now, you must know that before the release of the movie, they can sign a guarantee agreement of 3 billion! With the release of "Crazy Martian" with a guarantee of 3 billion, do you think the amount is very high and the risk is very high? In fact, people are not worried at all, it's just a matter of making hundreds of millions of dollars more, and the water in this industry is indeed deep, but in the eyes of Fang Xiaoruan and others, it is not so complicated: what kind of lineup, who is the director, who is the distributor, and who is the publicity...... These are confirmed, and both investors and producers can roughly estimate the profit ratio. In other words, those works that lose money can also be estimated at the beginning of the project. In the same way, there are still people who are willing to vote for those films that lose money when they hear it, what's the trick in this?"
Zhang Ruiming really asked Wu Kaiming, he shook his head and said, "I don't know...... You don't want to say that this is the reason why those Li Qixian and B Laowan will intervene in it. ”
Wu Kaiming, as he used to be on the university podium, excitedly pointed to the "B Guy Bay" sitting in the box not far away, and his body language was on the shadow of the past class, so frightened that Zhang Ruiming hurriedly pulled down his raised hand, for fear of being seen by the "B Guy Bay", and immediately called the car brother to unload the hand that Wu Kaiming pointed at him.
"These people who are by Fang Xiaoruan's side now may really be the chairman of the Quyi Association, or a rare stupid boss who simply wants to invest money, because it is now Fang Xiaoruan's celebrity gathering, and he will not let those real masterminds appear in front of you and me in broad daylight. But in a very hidden private club, on a resort island in Southeast Asia, when those Li Qixian and B Laowan appeared in front of Fang Xiaoruan with tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of funds (of course, they would change their identities), these people would tell a big director like Fang Xiaoruan, saying that he should save a game, and they didn't care who Fang Xiaoruan used, nor did they care what artistic demands and ideological embodiment they had, these people only told Fang Xiaoruan that they had a number, one that far exceeded the budget for making this film. But they will ask for another contract: the promotion and expenditure of the film, the use and construction of the filming scenes, the costumes, props, makeup and even photography, etc., must be handed over to him to 'send the contract', and the price is set by them, such a good thing. Do you think Fang Xiaoruan will be moved?"
Zhang Ruiming immediately understood that these Li Qixian, B Laowan, really exist in this circle, although they can't see it, but behind many blockbusters and bad movies, it is very likely that there are such characters hidden, and their
In the guise of a so-called investor, the real purpose is to launder a lot of money.
"If the other party says that it can contribute 500 million, take out 100 million to pay for the director and actors, and use the remaining 400 million for the cost of the filming process, this expenditure is completely left hand to right hand', the actual cost may be less than 100 million. Think about it, in this case, can the more than 300 million black money be laundered......"
After Wu Kaiming said such a bunch of words, Zhang Ruiming just listened silently, no response, the more Wu Kaiming said, the more he felt that it was not right, he was familiar with many body language and habits of his student, and he also knew that the more silent Zhang Ruiming was, the more turbulent the outburst he would face later.
Sure enough, he guessed correctly, Zhang Ruiming's emotions found a breakthrough under the double squeeze of a sense of justice and powerlessness, and erupted violently.
"Enough! Really enough! Teacher Wu, I've been listening to your lectures for many years, and I'm a middle-aged person now, I don't need to listen to you say this anymore...... I don't know why you're telling me this!?What is your purpose!?Because you know that I have a connection with Wang Baoyi, so you want to achieve justice through me and Wang Baoyi!?I hope the common people can see fewer bad movies!?Forget it, Wu Kaiming, you and I both know what kind of person you are!? You won't be driven by such simple and childish motives, what do you want to do? What do you want to use me for!?"
Zhang Ruiming's low roar, although it happened next to this remote foyer, he also subconsciously lowered the volume, but a few waiters still noticed the abnormality between him and Wu Kaiming, and a beautiful waiter wearing a blue monochrome cheongsam came over and asked softly about the situation of the two.
"It's okay...... We're old friends, and we've just talked about something unpleasant, we'll pay attention......"
Wu Kaiming gentlemanly sent away the beautiful waiter, he turned to Zhang Ruiming and said, "I know what you are worried about, we did have some differences in the past...... There have also been some unpleasant confrontations, but today's matter, you believe that I am really on the side of you and Wang Baoyi, and I will not betray you, I am talking to you so much today, in fact, I just want you to do one thing......"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Ruiming looked unkind, although he was not angry with Wu Kaiming's insidious deceit, but he also wanted to know the old fox's hole cards.
Wu Kaiming faced Zhang Ruiming's cold eyebrows with a warm smile.
"I want to ask you to help me test Fang Xiaoruan, and at the same time let you see his true face!"
