The crew of "Plundering the City" returned to Hollywood, which is also valuable news for some media that rely on reporting movies and stars, after all, Pitt is also first-class in the ranks of Hollywood directors, and this crew also includes Zhang Wei, who has been in the limelight recently, so that the crew was surrounded by a group of media as soon as they walked out of the Los Angeles airport.

Because he agreed to help promote the film, Zhang Wei had to bite the bullet and deal with the reporter for a while, in addition to answering some more official language, Zhang Wei said the most is, "Today my identity is an actor in the movie "Plundering the City", please pay attention to the situation of this movie, not care about my personal private affairs." ”

After the crew finally left the airport, the production manager and director were full of praise for Zhang Wei's unsparing efforts to put the words ""Plundering the City" movie", in their opinion, Zhang Wei's practice of not promoting himself, but promoting the movie is undoubtedly dedicated, unlike some actors, who are eager to talk about their own affairs from beginning to end when facing the media, and will add a sentence "Please pay attention to my new ** movie", there is no sincerity at all.

After the crew returned to Hollywood, they were still nervous and busy, planning to spend three days filming some scenes for Zhang Wei, and then the crew would rush to the Mississippi Plains, where they would shoot on location on the prairie for a week. After the grassland shooting, we will go to Argentina for another four days of snow shooting, and then all the shooting tasks can be completed, and the rest is the production of some special effects.

On the day he returned to Hollywood, Zhang Wei was simply annoyed. From noon to eight o'clock in the evening, he has changed hotels three times, but there will still be media that can find him and want to interview him. Zhang Wei was depressed, he really couldn't figure out what kind of magic these reporters had, he could always find him, his itinerary was confidential enough, but he still couldn't escape the reporters.

In desperation, Zhang Wei had no choice but to call Pitt for help and live in Pitt's private residence in Hollywood, so that he could escape the "pursuit" of reporters, and Pitt also told him why he was always found by reporters. But all the reporters who have been in Hollywood all the year round, they have a wire newspaper in every slightly high-end hotel, and as long as the hot star checks in in these hotels, someone will notify the reporter he knows, so as to earn a little pocket money from the media. This kind of thing is very difficult to catch, and what can be done if it is caught, this is not a crime, at most it is a flaw in professional ethics.

Zhang Wei and Pete were chatting about this, and suddenly the phone rang, the number was unfamiliar, showing that it was the local area code of Los Angeles, Zhang Wei signaled to Pete, got up and came to the pool of Pete's house to answer the phone.

"Are you Mr. Zhang Wei?" said an unfamiliar voice on the other end of the phone.

"I am, who are you?"

"Hello Mr. Zhang, I'm Locks, the general manager of 'Curacao Bocai Company', I am calling you on behalf of Mr. Jones of 'William Hill' and Mr. Adams of 'Ladbrokes', the three of us have learned that you have returned to Los Angeles, so we want to meet with you, I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding between us. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Zhang Wei raised his voice, and then smiled: "Hehe, Mr. Locks, if someone spends 30 million dollars to kill you, do you think it's a misunderstanding?"

As soon as Locks heard Zhang Wei say this, he immediately hurried: "Mr. Zhang, I think you did misunderstand, please give me a chance to explain, we are a lottery company, not a killer, there are some situations you don't know." ”

"Oh, well, let's talk on the phone, I don't think there's any need to meet. ”

Locks hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, I'll make a long story short." We are one of the top 10 companies in the world, and we have always had a good reputation, so we will never do anything to buy a murderer, and the reason why we put Mr. Zhang in danger this time is that Bob, the head of our company's California branch, is afraid of taking on huge responsibility, so he made a stupid decision. At the same time, Bob knew that William Hill and Ladbrokes had also lost a lot of money, so he privately contacted the heads of the two companies in California, and together the three of them embezzled part of the public funds and submitted a commission to assassinate you to the 'Torich' organization, which the senior management and the board of directors of the head office did not know. It was also when we checked the accounts that we found that the funds were wrong, and this investigation only learned about this situation, so we immediately got in touch with the 'Duofu' organization and revoked the commission to assassinate you, which is an ironclad fact. I repeat that we are in business, not a mafia, and we do not engage in assassination, so I hope to get Mr. Zhang's forgiveness. ”

This is very high-sounding, but Zhang Wei doesn't believe a word, anyone with a little common sense knows that this is not the beginning of the month and the end of the month, how can any company audit the accounts, besides, such a big matter, the senior management of the three companies does not know, liar. The accounts of the company are huge, and the financial audit mechanism must be extremely strict, how can the person in charge of a branch embezzle tens of millions of dollars without knowing it, this is not what it is to open your eyes and say nonsense.

Although Zhang Wei knew Locks's lies, Zhang Wei didn't debunk him, but just asked plainly: "Mr. Locks, I won't ask if what you said is true or false, I'll ask you, the killer sent by 'Duofu' almost killed me, and I can't accept the forgiveness you want to ask for with such a frivolous sentence." ”

"No, no, no, of course we won't just apologize verbally, I communicated with Mr. Jones and Mr. Adams, and each of the three of us is willing to pay 10 million dollars for your scared mental damages, do you think it's okay?"

"Haha, a family of 10 million, that's 30 million, do you think I'm a person who lacks 30 million?" Zhang Wei said sarcastically.

"Then please ask Mr. Zhang to make a price, and we will satisfy Mr. Zhang with the greatest sincerity. ”

Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said, "Then it's 100 million for a family." ”

"Is Mr. Zhang talking about RMB?"

"I'm talking to you about things in the country of stars and stripes, how can it be the yuan, I'm talking about the dollar. ”

Locks immediately exclaimed, "Oh, this can't be, Mr. Zhang, although we are sincere, you can't let us go bankrupt." ”

"Hmm...... Well, actually, I'm not very short of money, I'm more interested in revenge. Zhang Wei said lightly.

"No, no, Mr. Zhang, there is no hatred between us, everything is a misunderstanding, I ......"

"Do you have anything else to do? Zhang Wei rudely interrupted Locks.

Locks hurriedly said: "Don't, Mr. Zhang, please listen to me, each of our companies will give you 30 million to express our apologies, this should always satisfy you, right?"

"I said I wasn't short of money. ”

"35 million ......"

"I'm going to hang up. ”

"Forty million! This is our bottom line, forty million!"

Zhang Wei decisively hung up the phone, but after a while, the phone came again, and as soon as the phone rang, Locks didn't wait for Zhang Wei to speak, so he preemptively said: "Mr. Zhang, this is the Stars and Stripes Country, our three companies have been doing business in Europe and the United States for decades, involving too many families and interests, if you really want to break the net, it will not benefit you at all." Admittedly, we know that you are not ordinary people, but I would like to remind Mr. Zhang to understand that if the three of us really come together to deal with one person, even if he is Greenspan, it will pay a heavy price, I hope ......"

"Are you threatening me?" Zhang Wei's voice became much colder.

"This is not a threat, but an analysis from objective facts. ”

"Well, let's wait and see if my fish can break your net and be safe. After Zhang Wei finished speaking, he hung up the phone again.

Zhang Wei looked back and saw that Pete had already entered the house, and when he came to the house, Pete got up and handed him a wine glass, which contained fine whiskey, and the people of the Stars and Stripes liked this tune and felt that they could relax. Zhang Wei took the cup and didn't wait to drink, the phone rang again, it was still Locks's number.

Connected again, Locks said loudly: "Mr. Zhang, I have discussed with Jones and Mr. Adams, we will each take out 50 million to give you as a mental damage fee, if you still don't agree, we have no choice, please believe me, this is already our greatest sincerity, if you agree, we can arrange the transfer immediately, and then let the misunderstanding between us be written off, okay?"

Locks didn't talk nonsense this time, which shows that he is really in a hurry, and he also changed "you" to "you" in his words, this change in title shows that the three of them are really admitted. Zhang Wei thought about it, in fact, Locks's words are not unreasonable, these three lottery companies are operating all over the world, and they are indeed behemoths, and the relationship must be intricately complex. It is true that with his current ability, he can indeed kill the heads and brains of these three companies, but at the same time, he may never have peace in the future, who knows how the vested interests behind these three companies will deal with him. And Locks called over three times and twice to talk about it, and Zhang Wei was also a little annoyed. Thinking of this, Zhang Wei didn't plan to continue grinding on this matter, so he said: "Okay, I agreed, I hope you will be stricter in the management of the person in charge of the branch in the future, if you provoke me next time, it will not be so simple." ”

Locks heard that Zhang Wei was finally relieved, and let out a long sigh of relief on the other side of the phone, and immediately promised Zhang Wei that he would never have any intersection with Zhang Wei in the future.

Approaching late at night, Zhang Wei's mobile phone received a short message from UBS, prompting him to have another $500 million in the account, Zhang Wei crossed his knees on the bed and logged in to UBS with his mobile phone to check the balance of his account, and found that he was as high as 430 million, which in addition to Liu Nan's 100 million gold sales, won 1.8 billion from the lottery company, and got 1.5 billion in compensation tonight, so calculated, just three lottery companies have brought themselves a fortune of 330 million US dollars, this money is converted into RMB, it is close to 3 billion。

After he tacitly calculated this number, Zhang Wei was a little dizzy, you must know that he didn't even have a fraction of this money at this time last year, and he had a ten-figure deposit in a year, and it was inevitable that he would feel a little unreal for anyone.
