Chapter 227 Spending money to buy life
"I want a man's life!"
"Well, our Killer Alliance is doing this kind of deadly business, I don't know whose life you want?"
After discussing the plan to kill Gu Weiqi with Zhou Xianlong, who lived in the Zhou family, Uncle Wu immediately went out with a check of 10 million Hong Kong dollars and dialed the contact number of a "killer alliance" from a public phone - the reason why the public phone was used was naturally to prevent leaks and involve the Zhou family, which would be a disaster for the Zhou family.
Wu Bo was also an excellent killer in the rivers and lakes in the past, and he can be said to be quite familiar with the killer industry. But he is old now, but he has washed his hands in a golden basin, after all, even if he has good kung fu and good maintenance, he can't withstand the destruction of the "pig killing knife" of the years, now don't look at his appearance as a strong spirit, but in fact, his qi and blood have begun to decay.
Especially if there is a windy and rainy body, the dark wounds left by walking in the rivers and lakes in the early years will attack, and the back pain and leg cramps are unavoidable. Of course, compared to other killers, it is not bad to be able to live to such an age. After all, as the saying goes, life is rare for seventy years. Moreover, the Zhou family has a superior life, and they have eaten and drunk well over the years, and they can be regarded as raising them well.
Speaking of which, Wu Boke was a gold medal killer among the top three "Hell Angels" in the killer world in the past, but he was seriously injured because of a missed mission, and he happened to be rescued by Zhou Xianlong, who happened to meet him by chance, so he withdrew from the rivers and lakes after the injury was healed, and since then he has lived a comfortable life incognito in the Zhou family. But in fact, over the years, he has helped the Zhou family get rid of many business rivals, and the reason why the Zhou family has developed so fast and become a big invisible wealthy family can be said to have made great contributions.
In the unknown rivers and lakes, or in the dark world that is not well known to ordinary people, there have been ten killer groups. Twenty years ago, it was said that the first place was the "Death Alliance", followed by the "Assassin Alliance", the third was the "Hell Angel" where Wu Bo had stayed, then the "Yellow Springs Guild", the fifth was "Vampire Hunter", the sixth was "Paradise Lost", the seventh was "Shadow of Death", the eighth was the "Gu Poison Group", the ninth was the "Pink Skull", and the tenth was the "Killer Alliance" that Wu Bo was now contacted.
It is rumored that the masters of these top ten killer groups are like clouds, and some of them have kung fu and even the legendary supernatural secret realm, which can hurt people invisibly; Some of them have incredible abilities. However, because the asking price is usually very high, the average person simply cannot afford to hire it. In addition, if they are not familiar with the insiders, they can't be contacted at all, and another point is that in recent years, they have been relatively secretive and low-key, and ordinary people can't get in touch with people at their level, so it naturally seems more and more mysterious.
But Uncle Wu has been a killer for many years in the past, but he is very clear. If it weren't for the people, it would definitely not be easy for them to get in touch.
In the bedroom of a manor near the sea in Bayati, Taibang, a man is talking to Wu Bo on a mobile phone.
This man was a typical white Westerner, probably just bathed, wearing a simple bathrobe, short blond hair that was very eye-catching, looking about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a hooked nose, high cheekbones, and shaved cheeks. The appearance is cold and solemn, the skin is white and there seems to be no trace of blood, and there is a terrifying murderous aura all over the body, which makes people feel that he is a ruthless character at first glance.
In fact, he is Wharton Don, the CEO of the Asia-Pacific region of the "Killer Alliance" group, who has played black market boxing and has a record of 99 fights without a defeat. And the 99 opponents who were knocked out were either killed by him or disabled by him, and the attack was very black. Since joining the "Killer Alliance", relying on his outstanding achievements, stepping on a lot of bones and blood, he soon sat in the position of CEO of the Asia-Pacific region.
Now the killer world has also implemented the enterprise collectivization that keeps pace with the times, ostensibly an enterprise, but in fact, it is a sheep's head selling dog meat, which is also a matter of no choice, always find a name to cover up the identity. Otherwise, the sign of "I am a killer" would have been eliminated by the relevant political axe department.
Don't look at the top ten killer groups, but they can't withstand the large-scale strangulation of the state machine.
At this time, Wu Bo replied on the other end of the phone: "It's Gu Weiqi, the owner of Xiangjiang Oriental Hollywood International Film Company." ”
"Oh, I've heard of this guy." Wharton-Tang Moyun muttered, "It is said that the kung fu is very good. But as long as you can afford to pay the price, we can still make him die. ”
Wu Bo asked, "How much?" ”
Wharton-Tang Moyun said: "Ten million dollars." ”
Wu Bo said movingly: "The price is too high, right?" ”
The other party said frankly: "This person's value is not low, and it is normal for us to have a higher fee." But rest assured, once our Killer Alliance takes over this deal, it will definitely satisfy the employer. And we promise that there will be no mistakes, otherwise we will refund a full amount, which I believe everyone in the killer world knows our rules. ”
Uncle Wu smiled bitterly: "But I feel that 10 million US dollars is still too high, you let me think about it for a while, and I will call you again in ten minutes." ”
Wharton-Tang Moyun said lightly: "No problem, what we have is patience." ”
"Master, the other party asks for 10 million US dollars, not a dime less." After Wu Bo hung up the phone, he soon came to another public phone booth and dialed the Zhou family's phone.
After Zhou Xianlong connected, he only weighed it a little, then gritted his teeth and said: "Promise him Uncle Wu, but remember to let the other party do it cleanly." ”
"Okay, I'll tell the other party." After Wu Bo reported to Zhou Xianlong on the phone, he immediately changed the phone booth and dialed Wharton-Tang Moyun again.
The two talked again, and after agreeing on the price, Wharton-Tang Moyun reported an account to Uncle Wu and asked him to remit half of the money first, which is the rule of the killer world, pay the remaining half of the fee after success, and then let him wait for the news. Assassination operations can take place in as little as three days or as many as a week.
At the same time, Gu Weiqi, who had just taken a shower in the hotel, changed into a refreshing pair of jeans and a white shirt, as well as an off-white vest, put on a beige jacket and strolled out of the room, and took the elevator down to meet Zhong Chuhong - as for Weng Yuanling, she fell asleep after taking a shower.
As soon as Zhong Chuhong saw him, he said dissatisfiedly: "Is there a mistake, you said that you invited me to afternoon tea, I have been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come now?" ”
Gu Weiqi said without blushing and without a heartbeat: "I'm sorry, I was a little sleepy just now, and I squinted upstairs for a while." As he spoke, he recruited a waiter and asked for a pot of good tea, Zhong Chuhong also ordered a few exquisite snacks that he liked to eat, and the two drank tea and chatted leisurely.
In the afternoon, the warm sunlight shone through the glass and reflected on Zhong Chuhong's body, only to see today's beauty wearing a small pink coat, the skin on her face was shiny, rippling with moving vitality, her smile was so beautiful, and her black and shiny hair hung quietly behind her head, which made people look very comfortable. Compared with two years ago, the beauty has slowly matured unconsciously. Especially with light makeup painted on his face, he also has a little more charming and sexy femininity in his maturity, any normal man will be involuntarily moved when he sees it, and Gu Weiqi is of course no exception.
Involuntarily, Gu Weiqi couldn't help but praise: "Ah Hong, you are so beautiful!" ”
Zhong Chuhong's face turned red, blinked with big eyes and smiled, "Thank you." But no matter how beautiful you are, I'm afraid you can't compare to Miss Zhao and Miss Chen in your heart, right? ”
Of course, Gu Weiqi knew that she was talking about Zhao Yuzhi and Chen Yulian, so he said: "You can't say that, Zhao Yuzhi is a dignified and demure beauty, Chen Yulian is a cold and glamorous beauty, and you are a sexy beauty, you can be said to be Chunlan Qiuju, each good at winning." In my opinion, they are all first-class beauties, but what are you mentioning them for? ”
"You're very good at making girls happy." Zhong Chuhong smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just heard that they are all your girlfriends?" ”
Gu Weiqi groaned slightly: "Well, that's right, they are indeed my girlfriends." ”
"I thought you wouldn't admit it, but now it seems that you are still a bit of a man."
"Yes, yes, no, no, there's nothing to hide."
"You are so capable, you actually chased Miss Zhao and Miss Chen."
"Actually, I want to chase you too, you're so beautiful, I think there are a lot of pretty boys chasing you now, right?"
Zhong Chuhongfang's heart jumped, and he said coquettishly: "I said before, it depends on your performance." But now that you have two girlfriends who are so beautiful, you still want to chase me, it's too preoccupied, right? ”
"I'll admit I'm a bit of a trick, but I'm definitely not abusive. Besides, that rich man doesn't bother? ”
"Hmph, you're making excuses for your own heart. Anyway, if you want to chase me, unless you break up with Miss Zhao and Miss Chen. ”
Gu Weiqi smiled bitterly: "Then you might as well kill me." ”
"I won't. Otherwise, Miss Zhao and Miss Chen won't be looking for me desperately. By the way, there's something I don't know if you've heard? ”
"What's the matter?"
"Now many artists are talking about increasing their salaries in private, because many stars have joined the 'China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency', which makes film companies such as Jiahe and Xin Yicheng always unable to find suitable candidates when making films, so they have no choice but to increase their salaries. However, the salary of our brokerage company has not increased much. For example, I haven't had a salary increase for a year. ”
"Oh, I don't know. However, although our company's salary has not risen much, it has rich bonuses and box office dividends. ”
In fact, when Zhao Yuzhi was in charge of taking care of the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency", she was specifically told about the salary, not wanting her to rise the salary too quickly. Because of the decline of Xiangjiang movies in the original time and space, there is also a certain reason for the high salary of movies.
For example, to invest in a movie of 10 million, it takes four or five million Hong Kong dollars just to invite a big-name star, plus the remuneration of other actors and crew members has to be thrown away, so that the investment in making a movie is already very small, and as a result, in order to save money, I have to find a way to make do, make do with props, make do with costumes, make do with shooting locations, and even make do with film, and finally when the film is filmed, you can imagine what the quality of the film will become.
Even in order to curb the soaring salaries of actors, Gu Weiqi also set up four levels of signing contracts for the artists and directors of the agency at the C, B, A and S levels. The conditions for the salary increase required in the contract are very strict, not only the requirements for how many films need to be made, how much box office they need to achieve, and how many years later will they rise, which are all written into the contract. However, despite this, there are still people who continue to join the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency", mainly because of the high bonuses and box office dividends, sometimes higher than the salary.
"Yes, that's why everyone is just talking in private. Otherwise, it would have been a big deal long ago. ”
