Chapter 236 Suspicion
Just when Zhao Yuzhi, Chen Yulian, Mei Yanfang and other women were crying darkly, and the six gods were ownerless, a taxi stopped at the door of the villa, and as the door opened, Old Man Gu got out of the car, and he was followed by a young man who was two meters tall and had a dark complexion.
The young man is only twenty years old at most, but he is very vicious, with a lion's nose and a wide mouth, eyes like copper bells, eyes like eagle falcons, short hair like steel needles standing upright, muscles knotted, big hands and feet, and he looks like a fierce man. After the man got out of the car, he carried a black suitcase and followed the old man into the villa without saying a word.
The old man was dumping his antiques in the mainland, but last night he received a call from Zhao Yuzhi, saying that Gu Weiqi had been assassinated, and he was startled at that time. Hurriedly divined a hexagram in person, and the hexagram showed that the evil was auspicious, and theoretically said that the grandson should be fine. But I still rushed back overnight.
The person who followed him was called Rong Kaifang, who was his apprentice in the mainland, and usually followed him to take care of business in the mainland, but this time because of something happened to his grandson, he took him back.
When the girls saw that the old man was back, they felt that they suddenly had a backbone, and they all stepped forward and called "old man".
Old Man Gu nodded without saying a word with a gloomy face, came to Gu Weiqi's side, grabbed his arm and took the pulse, but he didn't feel any signs of pulsation, and couldn't help but wonder secretly, could this kid really die? But it's not right, the hexagram shows that it should be fine, but the facts are in front of him, which makes him puzzled.
Just when he was wondering in his heart, Zhao Yuzhi wiped a handful of tears and asked, "Old man, what should I do now?" ”
The old man raised his head, frowned and muttered, "What should I do, what should I do?" ”
At this moment, Inspector Zheng Yunfeng of the Kowloon Police Station Headquarters came over with Yuan Mengrou and other police officers to investigate, and Old Man Gu greeted him and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Zheng Yunfeng said: "I heard that Gu Weiqi was assassinated, we are naturally here to investigate the case, who are you?" ”
"Oh." The old man nodded and said, "I am Gu Weiqi's grandfather." ”
Zheng Yunfeng said solemnly: "We are going to take Mr. Gu's body for autopsy, so as to find out the cause of his death and help the analysis of the case, and I hope the old man understands." ”
"Nope." The old man flatly refused: "You can investigate the case, but I don't allow you to do it." As the saying goes, death is great, and I will never allow you to toss my grandson like this again. ”
Zheng Yunfeng said strongly: "Old man, today we must take Mr. Gu's body away for autopsy, I hope you don't stop us." ”
"It's absolutely not going to work." The old man is also tough and authentic.
At the same time, in a restaurant, Wen Wenhuai made an appointment to meet Lin Zhenying, who was brandishing a hoe, ready to poach him, only to hear him say at this time: "Zhenying, now that Boss Gu is gone, you have no future in Donglai Company, and I will definitely reuse you when you come to our company." Or if you break away from Donglai Company, we can set up a new film company in a joint venture. When the time comes, you will be your own boss, isn't it better than sticking to Donglai Company? ”
"Boss Wrinkle, you can't say that. Although Boss Gu is gone, frankly speaking, Boss Gu is very good to me. ”
Lin Zhenying said solemnly: "You know that I am a person, I have always put righteousness first, although I also want to be my own boss, but I will never be able to leave Donglai Company at this time." So for the kindness of Boss Wrinkle, I can only understand it. Okay, if Boss Wrinkle doesn't have anything else to do, I'll quit first, and the company still has a lot of things to deal with waiting for me. With that, he stood up.
Fu Wenhuai raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Okay Zhenying, you go back to work first." But for what I said, you can think about it, and if you think about it, you can call me at any time, and what I said is still valid. ”
"Okay, I'll consider Boss Wrinkle's suggestion carefully."
……
In another morning tea restaurant, Shao Tycoon was eating breakfast while slowly saying to Chen Xunqi opposite: "Xiao Chen, I remember that you started working on our Shao's set when you were fifteen years old, right?" ”
Chen Xunqi took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Yes, Boss Shao's memory is really good." ”
"It's not that the old man has a good memory, it's that your kid is indeed a film talent, and it's hard for people not to remember it. If nothing else, let's just say that you are in Donglai Company, and the series of movies you have produced are all big sellers. ”
"That's Mr. Gu's script is well written. Otherwise, I would be a good woman who would be unable to cook without rice. ”
"You can't say that, even if you have a good script, it's useless without a good producer. But now that you know, Boss Gu is gone, I think you don't have much future if you stay in Donglai Company. So I want you to come over and help me set up the 'Oriental Charm International Film Company', I don't know what you think of Xiao Chen? ”
"This ......" Chen Xunqi groaned slightly, and secretly wondered in his heart, Mr. Gu is good to himself, how can he change jobs at this critical moment? And when I arrived at the Oriental Charm International Film Company, I didn't have to listen to Shao Yifu's words, how could I have my own in Donglai Company? Although Mr. Gu is gone, with the support of himself and Lin Zhenying, coupled with the cinema chain and funds, the future development of Donglai Company should be good even if it leaves Boss Gu.
Turning his mind, he said, "First of all, I want to thank Boss Shao for looking up to me so much." But I'm sorry Boss Shao, Donglai Company is in an extraordinary period now, so I don't plan to change jobs. You also know that Mr. Gu is very good to me, he trusts me so much and is promoted to be the vice president of the company, if I leave the company at this time, what do you say others will think of me? ”
"I also know that Boss Gu is good to you, but at this time and at that time. Now that Boss Gu is gone, without him, a gold medal screenwriter, I am not optimistic about the future of Donglai Company, Xiao Chen, you still have to plan for yourself. Nowadays, my Oriental Charm International Film Company needs professional film talents like you, as long as you come to our company, the old man can also give you the position of vice president. ”
"I am also the vice president of Donglai Company, and even when Mr. Gu was alive, he generally ignored me, and when I arrived at Oriental Charm International Film Company, I had to be under your control, how could I be free now?"
Chen Xunqi pondered in his heart, feeling secretly funny, the most important thing is that he knows that Boss Shao has always been stingy, even if he gives himself the position of deputy president, how good treatment can he give himself? I'm afraid that I can't catch up with the treatment that Mr. Gu gave me, and now that Mr. Gu is gone, as long as he does it well, Donglai Company will still have a lot of money.
Especially now that the company is sitting with Lin Zhenying, and the latter does not like to compete for power and profit, it can be said that his current company is equivalent to saying that he is the boss of the same thing, so he has to jump to another company to be the second boss? Unless your brain is rusty, and don't forget, Gu Weiqi also has the "China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency" under his name, with many heavyweight popular stars and directors, rich talent resources, and no shortage of money, it is better than changing jobs now.
Thinking about it, Chen Xunqi shook his head and said, "I'm sorry boss, thank you for your kindness." However, I don't plan to leave Donglai Company for the time being. ”
Shao Yifu's face sank, nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, the old man won't be reluctant." ”
"Then I'll quit first, the company still has a lot of things to deal with for me." With that, he got up and left.
"Hmph, I don't know how to lift."
……
Just when Shao Yifu and Fu Wenhuai met Chen Xunqi and Lin Zhenying successively, Lei Juekun also met with Zhou Yunfa, Huang Yuansheng, Liu Dehua and other popular stars of China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency. You must know that the new Yicheng under his name has film talents such as Mecca, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, and Xu Ke, and there is no shortage of producers, directors and screenwriters, what is lacking is popular stars.
However, it is not surprising that these celebrities all replied to Lei Juekun that they would consider it, and they did not rush to agree. Not only did Lei Juekun make an appointment with them, but even Fang Yihua couldn't help but make an appointment with them. But now that they are thriving on the big screen, how can they return to the small screen to shoot TV series? However, some second- and third-tier actors can't help but be ready to move. However, in the face of huge liquidated damages, he did not dare to change jobs for a while.
In addition to Shao Tycoon, Zou Tycoon, and Lei Tycoon, who are brandishing hoes and preparing to dig people, the bosses of many second- and third-rate companies are also like sharks that smell blood, wielding hoes and copying tickets, and frequently meet with artists and behind-the-scenes directors of Donglai Company and China Entertainment International Superstar Entertainment Agency. In addition, Ethereal Legend International Music Company and Phoenix TV have also been poached by their peers.
In addition, newspapers, comics and publishing companies have all been poached, and with the news of Gu Weiqi's death, it can be said that there is an undercurrent. And Gu Weiqi's entertainment empire has encountered its first major crisis. This can also be said to be a major test. However, it is difficult to say whether we will survive this crisis.
In addition, the five major consortia headed by the Zhou family, including Carl Morgan of the Xiangjiang branch of JPMorgan Chase Bank, Zheng Chengying, the head of the Zheng family, Zhao Wenwu, the head of the Zhao family, and Yan Fangfei, the pearl of Yan Wuji, the head of the Yan family, also secretly mobilized a large amount of funds to launch the acquisition and poaching of the properties under Gu Weiqi's name.
However, because Gu Weiqi's companies are not listed, the acquisition does not go smoothly. However, the poaching operation has achieved amazing results, first of all, the president of Weiqi International Business Group, Niu Bijian, was poached by Carl Morgan himself, and even his departure took with him many senior executives. However, the next day, Lin Biqi parachuted into the group and became the president of the group.
And Lin Biqi also brought back a lot of talents, most of them were her classmates and alumni in the United States, and once she took office, she made drastic personnel adjustments.
In addition, Zhou Xianlong also personally came forward to meet with Yan Qiudi of the Tang Dynasty Fund and Di Canan, the head of Yanlong International Development Bank, and in addition to digging them up, he also negotiated with them about the acquisition of these two groups. Of course, Zheng Chengying, Zhao Wenwu and Yan Fangfei and others are not idle, and Gu Weiqi's clothing companies, air conditioners, televisions, bicycles, appearance, logistics, daily chemicals, hotels, supermarkets and other companies have all attracted poaching and acquisitions.
Not only them, but also many other wealthy families in Hong Kong also participated. More seriously, the 20 billion Hong Kong dollars of the banks that Luo Canan borrowed money from before were also secretly instigated by Carl Morgan to collect debts at this time. Originally, the loan term was due in five years, but now the money is clearly to squeeze down Gu Weiqi's companies and force him to sell them cheaply to repay his debts.
Fortunately, Yanlong International Development Bank now has tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars and $200 million in reserves, as well as a large amount of gold worth nearly one billion US dollars. You must know that the gold mines in Myanmar produce a lot of gold every day, as well as jade mines, which are all economic sources. In addition, other companies are also making a steady stream of revenue, and although it is a bit tight to repay the 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, there is not much pressure.
However, on the issue of loan repayment of 20 billion Hong Kong dollars, Locanan gave a strong reply to these banks. If you want to repay the money, then according to the contract, only the principal will be repaid, and there will be no interest, and I will be compensated for 5% of the liquidated damages. The bankers actually agreed, as long as Loganan was willing to pay it back.
"What to do? Those nasty guys must make us pay off the loan now. After taking a bath, Loganan walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, and said to a young man sitting leisurely on the sofa with a frown.
And that young man was Gu Weiqi, who was already "dead". But in fact, all this from beginning to end was a good show directed by him, in order to find out the mastermind behind the scenes and hire the "Killer Alliance" to assassinate him. As for the fact that Old Man Gu prevented Zheng Yunfeng from taking Gu Weiqi's "corpse" away for autopsy that day, Mei Yanfang, Zhao Yuzhi and Chen Yulian persuaded him in time for a while, and then asked Zheng Yunfeng to take his "corpse" away.
But he ran away from the middle of the road, you must know that he was just killed by a collision, if he was really dissected, it would really be the end. As for running, it would be even simpler, directly unconsciously drugged and stunned the police guarding him on the way, and then quietly opened the car door and jumped out of the car and ran. When Zheng Yunfeng returned to the police station and found that the "body" was not there, he couldn't find it anymore. I couldn't help but be so angry that I was thundering. But there was nothing to be done, so he immediately sent his police officers to find Gu Weiqi's "corpse".
But after Gu Weiqi ran away, he came to the villa in Luojianan to recuperate his body, and he never showed up again, no matter how they looked for it, they couldn't find it.
After his body has been recuperated by many precious medicinal materials, he has been much better during this time. While recuperating from his injuries, he secretly ordered Tang Bo to send people to secretly monitor all this, and at the same time sent many brothers to find out the mastermind of the "Killer Alliance" behind the scenes. After many days of investigation and analysis, the target was finally locked on Zhou Xianlong.
Because intelligence shows that Zhou Xianlong is Zhou Junlong's father, and he once had a conflict with Zhou Junlong, the Zhou family is the most suspicious in terms of motives. Especially when the news of Gu Weiqi's death was released, Zhou Xianlong couldn't wait to jump out, brandishing a hoe and copying tickets, poaching Weiqi International Business Group, and wanting to acquire, everything showed that he wanted to annex Gu Weiqi's industry, and his intentions were not sinister.
The advantage of this is that firstly, it can export evil anger for his son, and secondly, it can also get huge commercial benefits. If Gu Weiqi really hangs up, I'm afraid he will really be successfully succeeded by the Zhou family. But Gu Weiqi is not really dead, I am afraid that his wishful thinking will be frustrated. What's more important is that now that the positions of the two have been reversed, originally he was in the dark, Gu Weiqi was in the light, he could calculate Gu Weiqi without any scruples.
But now Gu Weiqi can secretly calculate the other party without any scruples. In addition to the Zhou family, the Zheng family, the Zhao family and the Yan family are also within Gu Weiqi's calculations, even including the Morgan family, but this behemoth is not easy to deal with. At present, Gu Weiqi can only slowly figure it out, but he believes that according to his "foresight", it is not impossible to earn more wealth than the Morgan family in the future.
"It's okay, I've already thought about it."
Gu Weiqi smiled and said: "Xiangjiang's industry will not move, and the Australian mining company, the Canadian oil company and the animation company of Yuben will be spun off and sold, as well as the land invested in Yuben, and some of the stocks purchased from the stock markets in New York, Tokyo and London will be sold. In this way, it is not only enough to repay the bank loans, but also enough to support the operation of the groups. ”
Luo Jianan sighed and slowly sat down beside Gu Weiqi: "It seems that this can only be the case, but now the animation companies of Australian Mining, PetroCanada and Yuben are developing very well, and it would be a pity to sell them now." There are also large tracts of land purchased in Yueben, which may increase in value in the future according to our analysis. ”
Gu Weiqi said indifferently: "That's no way, anyway, we still have a lot of opportunities and projects to make money in the future, let's repay the bank loan first to get through the current hurdle." ”
"That's right. But these bankers are so hateful that they even join hands to force us to repay. ”
"It's really hateful, but don't worry, sooner or later I'll teach them a lesson that I will never forget. If you really want to say that we have earned, hehe, not only do we not have to repay the interest, but also have to pay us five percent of the liquidated damages, so that a toss is equivalent to making 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in vain, which is not bad. By the way, in your estimation, how much can these industries be sold for now, such as Australian mining companies and Petro-Canada companies, as well as the animation company? ”
"In my estimation, if you don't count stocks, there will always be a billion dollars. If you count stocks, you can raise $2 billion. ”
"Then even if you raise $2 billion in stocks, in addition to repaying bank loans, I want you to go all out to suppress the stocks of 'Longxing Bank' and 'Longxing International Jewelry Group'."
"Oh, why?"
"I suspect that Zhou Xianlong, the owner of Longxing Bank and Longxing International Jewelry Group, is behind the scenes by hiring a killer to assassinate me."
"Are you sure?"
"Even if you are not sure, the father and son of the Zhou family are not good birds, a few days ago, Zhou Junlong's kid was disrespectful to me, and I beat him all over the ground to find his teeth, and he was taught a hard lesson. Now that Zhou Xianlong can't wait to jump out to poach you, and also want to buy our Yanlong International Development Bank, do you think this person can be a good thing? ”
"Oh, according to what you say, the possibility that the Zhou family hired a killer to assassinate you is really not small."
