"That Huang Yulang deserves it, people like him should be taught a good lesson." Mother Zhao seemed to be in a good mood, and said while peeling apples.
"But my brother-in-law's energy is really big, and if he is still in the United States, Yulang International will be about to fall." Zhao Yaqian said with a smile on her face.
Zhao Yaqian is Zhao Yazhi's eldest sister.
Zhao Yazhi has four brothers and sisters, and he is the fourth, the eldest brother Zhao Yanan, the eldest sister Zhao Yaqian, the second sister Zhao Yahui, and the younger sister Zhao Yazhen.
Before the exposure of the "Daily Daily".
Except for Zhao's father and Zhao's mother, the Zhao family didn't have much about Zhao Yazhi and Wei Xiong, and they didn't know that Zhao Yazhi was pregnant, so as not to have a lot of people.
"That's how it should be, you see that Azhi has lost weight in the past few days."
Mother Zhao was still a little indignant.
"By the way, when will Ah Xiong come back?"
"Today's plane should arrive in the evening." Zhao Yazhi had a smile on his face, and his mood today was much better than in the past few days.
Not only did the newspaper report converge a lot.
Even the reporters who were squatting outside the villa were in good shape, and they were no longer as crazy as they had been two days before. plus the praise of Wei Xiong from his mother and eldest sister.
It also made her feel a sense of honor.
"Then I won't stay tonight, so you don't have to have my light bulb, you don't look comfortable."
"Mommy, what are you talking about?"
"Huh." Mother Zhao smiled: "Ah Xiong has been out for ten days this time, you haven't seen each other for so long, of course you have to talk and chat." ”
"Yes, Ah Zhi, now that you have his child, you have to seize the opportunity."
……
When Wei Xiong arrived in Hong Kong, it was already past 11 o'clock in the evening.
But the reporters who found out the time of his flight by all means still stuck outside the airport, even if they were shivering from the cold.
However, Wei Xiong was also prepared.
There were nearly 100 security guards from Wei's Security who opened the way, and they easily got on the vehicle that came to pick up the airport. After that, he sent Chen Hong and Ouyang Yalan back first.
Then we came to the top of the mountain.
It seems that he was expected to come, and there are still many reporters squatting outside the villa at this time.
Entering the villa, there is only dim light in the living room.
Then the servant said, "Madame has just been out for a short time. ”
"Hmm." Wei Xiong nodded and walked upstairs. Zhao Yazhi originally wanted to wait for him, but later it was estimated that he might not be able to bear it before going to sleep.
opened the bedroom door, and Zhao Yazhi was sleeping peacefully on the bed.
He didn't bother.
took off his clothes, took a shower in the bathroom first, and then slipped into the quilt lightly and hugged Zhao Yazhi in his arms from behind.
It may be that his actions woke Zhao Yazhi up.
At this time, Zhao Yazhi slowly turned around and smiled at Wei Xiong: "Husband, you're back." ”
"Why don't you sleep yet?"
Wei Xiong lowered his head and kissed Zhao Yazhi on the lips.
"I'm waiting for you."
Zhao Yazhi leaned his face against Wei Xiong's chest, muttered in a tone, and then picked up Wei Xiong's hand and put it on her bulging belly......
"Mr. Wei, your mission has been accomplished."
The next morning, not long after Wei Xiong arrived at the office, Sylvester Powell walked in with a brown paper bag.
"The process is still smooth, right?"
Wei Xiong took the brown paper bag and asked with a smile.
"Of course, this is the simplest acquisition ever presiding." Sylvester Powell shrugged his shoulders with a relaxed expression.
Speaking of which, I have to introduce Sylvester Powell.
He was originally a vice president of Standard Chartered Bank.
After Standard Chartered Bank was acquired by Wei Xiong, the entire top management underwent a major purge, and almost 70% of the top management was replaced.
After all, the senior management of Standard Chartered Bank is basically assigned by Standard Chartered Group.
Naturally, we should be cautious.
About 70 percent of these dismissed senior staff members have left directly.
The remaining 30% of the assessment (mainly based on background and work experience) is to work in various companies under the umbrella of Wises.
So Sylvester Powell became Gu Guofu's deputy.
Pull out the three-point essay from the kraft paper bag.
Two are the equity transfer letters of Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan, one is the stock certification, and the three together hold a total of 53.7% of the shares of Yulang International.
"Good."
Putting Wen Jiàn back on the table, Wei Xiong smiled and said:
"You will inform Yulang International that a board meeting will be held tomorrow morning."
……
The next day, it was the "Oriental Daily" again, which once again published two exciting news - Webster's investment in the acquisition of the American film giant Paramount!
Weishi Investment acquired Yulang International!
As soon as the newspaper went public, these two pieces of news immediately caused a huge wave, but the people who paid attention to it were different.
Wei's investment in the acquisition of Paramount, the people who pay attention to it are mainly from the entertainment industry.
Because from now on, Weiss films will have a big platform to directly enter the Hollywood and international markets, and there is no need to be like before.
Also rely on others.
And Webster Films has this platform, which is equivalent to Hong Kong films having this platform.
This is good news for the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry.
One more point.
Wei's control of such an important platform is tantamount to once again improving Wei's, or Wei Xiong's influence in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
In fact, it's not just Hong Kong.
Webster's investment in the acquisition of Paramount is an extraordinary event for Taiwanese films, and even for the entire Chinese film.
Of course, for most people, entering the international market is still too far away.
So it's more about watching the excitement.
In contrast, Merriam-Webster's acquisition of Yulang International is a much broader audience, including almost all Hong Kong residents.
In the past few days, Hong Kong people have watched a big urban drama.
First, Zhao Yazhi was revealed by "Daily Daily" to be 7 months pregnant, and the father of the child is Wei Xiong, who is now known as the "pride of Hong Kong".
Then "Tiantian Daily" criticized Zhao Yazhi for not abiding by women's morals, cheating in marriage, and being difficult to change.
Then Wei Xiong launched a tough counterattack.
First, he sued "Tiantian Daily" and its parent company Yulang International for rumors and defamation, claiming 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in reputation damages.
Then the Governor himself stood for Wei Xiong.
Accusing certain newspapers of going too far and irresponsible. He also warned that if there were any more reports like this, administrative measures would be taken.
Next, Yulang International exposed a fake account scandal.
And all the company's accounts were seized by the police.
Finally, today, Weixiong's Wei's investment acquired Yulang International.
There are no ups and downs.
But it is also **, which makes people enjoy watching it. Obviously, Webster Investment's acquisition of Yulang International is entirely for the purpose of revenge.
Many people even conclude that Yulang International's fake account scandal.
It was also Wei Xiong who operated in the back.
Otherwise it would be too much of a coincidence.
And if there is no false account scandal that causes the stock price to plummet, the process of Weishi Investment wanting to acquire Yulang International may be much more difficult.
But that's what people are.
Few people will sympathize with the loser.
On the contrary, many people gloated and laughed at Huang Yulang's inadequacy. Of course, there are also some voices who say that Wei Xiong's reaction is too much.
There is also a saying that Wei Xiong is too domineering.
However, these voices are only a minority, and in the current situation, I feel that there are very few people who stand up and publicly accuse Wei Xiong.
Just when public opinion outside was boiling.
Wei Xiong has come to Yulang International.
Compared to when he appeared at the meeting of the board of directors of Standard Chartered Bank, Cole?? Bright's composure, Huang Yulang's reaction was much greater.
When Cui Muqing carefully distributed the share transfer letters and shares of Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan.
Huang Yulang couldn't hold back any longer.
Throwing Wen Jiàn to the ground, Huo stood up.
"The surname is Wei, why did you rob Yulang International, Yulang International was founded by my Huang Yulang with hard work, it is mine."
"Huh."
Wei Xiong raised his head to stop the Monday Voyage that was about to come forward.
Leaning back in the chair, like looking at a clown, he said neatly: "Yulang International was founded by you, yes, but it is no longer yours." ”
"As for why?"
"It's simple, it's up to me to take a fancy to it."
"You ......" Huang Yulang's face was hideous, but when he saw the bodyguard standing behind Wei Xiong with a cold face, his anger could only be endured in his heart.
In fact, as early as yesterday, when the stock price plummeted,
He received a report from his subordinates, saying that someone was taking the opportunity to buy the shares of Yulang International at a low price, and the first thing he thought of at that time was Wei Xiong.
After that, he hurriedly contacted Hu Xian and Zheng Jinghan.
The news was that their shares had been sold to Webster Investment, and he didn't know how he hung up.
I just felt like the world was spinning for a while.
Wei Xiong smiled slightly: "As the new chairman of the board of directors of the company, I think I have the authority to appoint a new president, so you are already out." ”
"Alright, alright, we'll see."
Huang Yulang shook off the harsh words and was about to leave, but at this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and several people in suits with documents hanging on their left chests walked in.
In an instant, Huang Yulang's face changed.
Because these people are not leading the way, it is none other than Zhao Yuming, the senior inspector who personally led the team to seize all the accounts of Yulang International two days ago.
I saw Zhao Yuming take a look at the conference room.
Then he walked straight to Huang Yulang: "Mr. Huang, you are suspected of falsifying accounts, this is an arrest warrant, please come with us." ”
Wei Xiong didn't expect the police to be so efficient this time.
It only took two days to get things straight.
And it was such a coincidence that he came to arrest people when he took over Yulang International. Looking at Huang Yulang, whose face was pale and depressed, he was expressionless.
Originally, he had no grudge against Huang Yulang.
It's the other party who is really looking for a dead end.
……
Due to false accounts, Yulang International was suspended the next day.
Formally under investigation by the Monetary Authority.
In this case, although the whole company is not panicked, it is not much different, especially the comic business, which is the company's core asset.
It's a change in people's minds.
For this reason, Wei Xiong made a special appointment to meet Ma Rongcheng.
Ma Wing-shing is the apprentice of Shangguan Xiaobao, another cartoonist in the Hong Kong comics industry who is as famous as Huang Yulang.
It is said that Shangguan Xiaobao reached an agreement with Huang Yulang in 1981.
brought the popular "Bruce Lee" to join Yulang International, which prompted Yulang International to later form a situation of dominating Hong Kong comics.
Two years ago, Shangguan Xiaobao and Yulang International left after their contract expired.
With the support of the publisher "Tongde Book and Newspaper" and the printer "Yousheng Printing Company", he founded the 82 Painting Society, and later recruited his apprentice Niu Lao to join.
But Ma Rongcheng did not leave Yulang International.
A very important reason is that Huang Yulang treats him very seriously.
His famous work "Chinese Heroes" was actually deliberately conceived by Huang Yulang according to his creative conditions and personal style.
Later, he was responsible for the specific creation.
It can be said that if there was no Huang Yulang, there would be no Ma Rongcheng today. So he didn't feel cold about some of Wei Xiong's practices.
After Huang Yulang was caught.
He even gave birth to the idea of leaving Yulang International.
However, when he received the notice that Wei Xiong planned to meet him in person, he was still a little excited, after all, Wei Xiong was not an ordinary person.
It's someone who can have dinner face-to-face with the British Prime Minister.
Not everyone can see it.
"Mr. Ma, please take a seat."
"Thank you." Although Wei Xiong was smiling, it may be the legendary aura, Ma Rongcheng still felt a lot of pressure when facing Wei Xiong.
"I heard that Mr. Ma has not been at work normally for the past two days?"
"This ......"
Ma Rongcheng didn't expect to be so direct, and asked this as soon as he opened his mouth, his expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed: "I've been a little uncomfortable in the past two days." ”
"If you're not feeling well, you really deserve a good rest."
Wei Xiong smiled.
put the prepared document in front of Ma Rongcheng.
"This is a script I created, you see."
Ma Rongcheng knew that Wei Xiong was a master of drawing comics, and the popular Japanese "Slam Dunk" was created by Wei Xiong, so he didn't dare to underestimate it.
Picked up the text and looked at it.
The more he watched it, the more fascinated he became, and after about half an hour, he put down Wen Jiàn with a faint hint of excitement on his face, because this script was really wonderful.
"Mr. Wei, this "Fengyun" ......"
"This "Fengyun" was conceived by me based on your realistic painting style, so you are responsible for the specific creation, is there a problem?"
"This ......"
Ma Rongcheng didn't know how to answer for a while.
Before coming to see Wei Xiong, he was still thinking about whether to leave Yulang International, and at this time, he suddenly felt embarrassed in the face of Wei Xiong's wooing.
"What, there's a problem?"
Wei Xiong's brows furrowed slightly.
"It's not ......," Ma Rongcheng reflexively denied.
"I know you have the idea of self-reliance, it's normal, people go to high places, water flows to low places, but I really cherish your talent."
"So be it."
"I plan to spin off Yulang International's comic business and set up a separate publishing company, and I can give you 5% of the dry shares."
Wei Xiong can certainly paint those classic works of Ma Rongcheng by himself.
But the world is too big, and he has too many things to do.
It is impossible to do everything by yourself, and that is not in line with reality, so the best way is to take Ma Rongcheng under his command.
After a deep groan again.
Ma Rongcheng finally nodded with a smile:
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
In response to that sentence, there is no eternal friendship in this world, only eternal interests. It's a bit biased, but at least that's what it looks like for now.
……
After Ma Rongcheng left.
Wei Xiong pressed the internal call button: "Lan Lan, let Hu Wenhao come to see me." ”
"Yes, boss."
Five minutes later.
A middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and looking very gentle, walked into Wei Xiong's office, and this person was Hu Wenhao, who he said.
His current position is the same as Fan Wei's, and he is the vice president of Westster's Entertainment Group.
"Mr. Wei, are you looking for me?"
"Well, sit down."
"Thank you, Mr. Wei."
"Old Hu, you've been in the Wei clan for more than half a year, right?"
"I took office in May, and it's been more than half a year now." Hu Wenhao wondered why Wei Xiong suddenly asked this, but still replied.
"How's the job going?"
"Of course I'm very happy, and my colleagues are very friendly. And every employee is full of vigor and confidence in the future of the company. ”
Wei Xiong nodded with a smile.
"Then I'm going to send you to the United States to be Paramount's vice president, what do you think?"
"This ......"
Hu Wenhao paused, and then said with a little excitement: "I obey Mr. Wei's arrangement." ”
Although Paramount is also a subsidiary of Westwalkers.
In terms of administrative level, he is at the same level as Weishi Entertainment Group, and he was transferred from the vice president of Weishi Entertainment Group to the vice president of Paramount, which can only be regarded as a flat transfer.
But Paramount is a Hollywood, and even the world's movie giant.
In terms of influence, it far exceeds that of Wai Entertainment Group.
Therefore, his transfer to the vice president of Paramount can be regarded as a promotion in disguise, and it is also a kind of trust that Wei Xiong has in him.
"Good."
"You take over the work at hand and take office in a week."
……
After work, Wei Xiong personally drove the latest red Porsche 911 to Qiu Shuzhen's house, and as soon as he got out of the car, Qiu Shuzhen came out of the villa.
"Wow, Porsche 911."
"Hehe, for you." Wei Xiong handed the car keys to Qiu Shuzhen, who was full of excitement.
"Thank you, husband."
After taking the key, Qiu Shuzhen kissed Wei Xiong on the lips, then quickly opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat: "Husband, get in the car, I'll take you." ”
Qiu Shuzhen is a novice and self-aware.
So she drove relatively slowly, faithfully fulfilling the principle of safety first, but a high-performance car like Porsche 911 fell into the hands of a rookie like her.
It's also a tyrannical thing.
More than half an hour later, the two came to a Western restaurant.
As soon as they walked to the door of the western restaurant, several reporters surrounded them, but they were all blocked by Zhou Zhou Hang with two bodyguards.
It turned out that the bodyguards such as Zhou Hang always followed the Porsche 911.
At present, Wei Xiong has a total of four personal bodyguards.
There are two more than before, except for the original Zhou Yihang and Wu Wenzheng. The other two are also retired from the Hong Kong Flying Tigers, and both are extraordinary.
It is worth mentioning that not long after Wei Xiong's visit to the United Kingdom.
The gun license that Webster Security had been applying for was approved. However, there are high requirements for the professionalism of the gun bearer, and it needs to be reported.
Therefore, at present, only high-level bodyguards are equipped with pistols.
This is the first time in nearly a decade that the Hong Kong Governor's Office has granted a gun license to a private security company, which is a disguised embodiment of Wei Xiong's status today.
