Chapter Twenty-Four: Making a Big Profit
Originally, Wu Gang said that he would come to me in a few days, but unfortunately I waited for him for a week, but Wu Gang did not come again. I didn't have his contact information in my hand, so I had to wait passively.
During this time, I received a call from the elder Thorin. I knew that when the princess returned, she would tell the old man all that had happened. But old Thorin is worthy of a generation of heroes, he is very calm, on the phone he seems to be nothing, casually congratulated me on my new marriage, and then we chatted like close friends, talked about business, talked about mutual friends at a certain banquet...... Finally, he kindly invited me to go hunting in the woods on the shores of Lake Ontario in the winter, where Old Thorin owned a small private farm.
Only, we don't say a word about this assassination!
Old Thorin is revealing a message to me: everyone is very tacitly in alliance with each other, and despite this incident, judging from the situation and various circumstances, I still have to stand with Old Sorrin...... Because it's so simple, I can't choose Alan.
I need a weakened hell angel so that my business in Canada won't be swallowed up by a powerful force. And there is no doubt that it is only in the hands of a leader like the princess that the angels of hell will be weakened. And Allen ...... He is very jīng Ming, and he has friends like Li Wenjing.
And because Li Wenjing secretly helped Allen before, he calculated me lightly and heavily, so, out of a strange revenge mentality. I also gave him a little trouble. Before hanging up on the phone with old Sorin, I pretended to be in a very casual tone, as if I had brought it up unintentionally, as if Alan had been very close to Li Wenjing recently......
Old Solin paused on the phone for a long time without saying a word, and finally he sighed softly: "Thank you, Chen Yang...... We're still friends, aren't we? ”
"Friends, of course." I smiled happily and hung up.
Both sides had a tacit understanding as if this had never happened, and after hanging up the phone, I looked out the window and sneered for a long time.
The day after that phone call, Hell's Angels and I started a new partnership, and they sold me all the properties that Hell's Angels had left in Vancouver at a low price, and to my surprise, the high-end hotel where I and Princess "[**]" were. Fifteen percent of the shares in that hotel belonged to old Sorin, and he also transferred it to me.
Originally, since my rise in Vancouver, the Hellangels have curtailed most of their activities in the Vancouver area, leaving only a small amount of property behind. And now, the elder Sorin has simply transferred all the property here to me, making a gesture of ceding Vancouver and the surrounding area altogether.
I understand that this is a kind of compensation and a gesture of bowing my head.
Luo Yazhou calculated that after we ate these properties at a low price, we made a net profit of about 16 million dollars. I picked up the pen and paper and waved it, and simply sent all the more than 16 million to all the brothers in the big circle. Part of the money is awarded to some of the leaders, some of whom have bought new cars, others have new women, and these are all costly. And the ordinary brothers, according to the size of their contribution to the organization, also gave a lot of bonuses.
"There's one more part at the end." When Luo Yazhou came to see me with the accounts, he looked depressed, he couldn't understand that I threw out more than 10 million dollars so casually, if I used it for business...... He ended up with some of the money he had left. After finding me: "Now a warehouse at the dock is in need of repairs, and there is a shipping company on the east side of Ciro that they have their eye on, and we can take it down...... That's just enough money. ”
"I'll pay for the warehouse and buy the freight company." I said quickly, "As for the rest of your hands...... Well, how many brothers are there in the name of our real big circle now? Not counting the peripheral. ”
"Over the past year or so, some peripheral personnel have come in...... Now, there are about 400 people. ”
I laughed: "That's it...... The rest of the money was given to all the brothers, and each of them bought a decent suit. Tell all the brothers that we are no longer street gangsters and that we need to dress decently. If you don't have enough money, I'll post it to you. ”
Luo Ya Zhou was a little depressed: "Why are you spending money so generously recently?" ”
I smiled and knocked on the table: "My Barrister Zhou...... We're about to make a windfall! ”
*************
I'm not wrong about the windfall.
In the middle of the year, the Hollywood action blockbuster "The Great Heist" jointly produced by Billy Hills Pictures and DreamWorks officially premiered!
This film brings together many heavyweight movie stars, plus many Hollywood stars friendship cameos, and then produced by the first Hollywood person Spielberg, Oscar-winning director James Cameron, with a total investment of 160 million US dollars, completely based on the hostage-taking case that caused a sensation in Hollywood a few months ago......
The above gimmicks, coupled with the strong box office appeal of the stars, as well as the excellent quality assurance of the director's production team, immediately attracted countless media pursuits.
As the owner of a film company, of course I had to go to the premiere in person. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
I left for Hollywood again, and participated in the star-studded premiere of the Oscars, where countless big names came to cheer on this day, and the red carpet outside was star-studded, and the fans on the street outside almost jammed the main Avenue of Fame on this day, and the traffic around me was paralyzed.
I now have such a strong reputation in the United States, and I just got married before, and there was such a big mess at the wedding, so naturally I am the target of media pursuit. But I just made a quick appearance at the premiere, had the press snap a few photos, and then went headlong into the plush box in the posh theater.
"You've been in a lot of trouble lately." In the box, Martin Rothschild was already seated, dressed like a playboy today, but with a friendly smile on his face.
I took off my coat and sat down next to him, smiling wryly, "I hate trouble." ”
Martin flicked the cigar in his hand quickly and said with a smile, "I heard about your wedding...... Can I help you? ”
"Nope. I can figure it out myself. I shook my head.
Our box was in the upper room facing the stage, and under the fence in front of us was the theater below, which was almost full at the moment. Sitting in the front were the people involved in the filming of the film, and I saw Jessica, dressed in a xìng dress, smiling at the media frequently, flashing and flashing...... This chick has become purple recently, this movie has attracted a lot of attention, and the scandal between her and Lei Xiaohu has been talked about by countless entertainment gossip news. I heard that Playboy offered a sky-high price and wanted to ask her to take a set of photos, but she refused without hesitation. Now she has three more film contracts in one go, all of which are A-level productions.
However, just before the opening of the movie, some media broke the news that Jessica and Lei Xiaohu had broken up - I began to think that this was still a gimmick to cooperate with the promotion of the movie, but the night before I came to Hollywood, I asked Xiaohu...... Only then did I know the truth of the matter.
The two are indeed a little ambiguous, and most of them are Jessica who took the initiative. After all, she is a beauty who has been in Hollywood for many years, and she is familiar with the rules of the game in this circle, and she has absolutely no harm in catching up with Lei Xiaohu at this time. As for Lei Xiaohu, he is young and single anyway, and he doesn't mind having a beautiful woman as his companion. The relationship between the two has always been so ambiguous, and at the same time, it also cooperated with the promotion of the movie.
And not long ago, the two finally had a mustard.
When Lei Xiaohu told me, his face was full of punishment, and it took him a long time to say it...... It's because of the matter of going to bed. For Americans, getting into bed with men and women is not a big deal. It is a very normal process for two men and women to be together, have an intimate relationship, date, and then go to bed.
But for a well-behaved baby like Lei Xiaohu, who has been strictly guarded by his senior brother since he was a child, this is not the case!
It happened at a certain time, Jessica picked up Lei Xiaohu home at night, and the beauty probably meant to let him stay overnight...... But this made Lei Xiaohu, a kid a little twisted, and ran away from Jessica's house overnight.
This is the difference between Chinese and Western cultures. Lei Xiaohu thinks that he is cautious and respectful of the woman. But the woman thought it was an insult to herself. The structure of the two quarreled once, and since then they have been separated.
This is just a small episode, anyway, I know that the two are just a temporary ambiguity, and if it is broken, it will be broken. This kid is involved in the entertainment industry, and it is commendable that he can still remain so simple.
There's not much to say about the movie itself. Although some film critics have questioned before, will such a movie that gathers many big names eventually lead to distraction and distraction, which affects the quality of the movie.
But in the end, it seems that the directing skills of an Oscar-level master like James Cameron are indeed not blown. A bunch of big names are trained in an orderly manner under his hands, and a movie is well-layered, with a tight plot and full of tension. And the computer special effects are also the first-class level in Hollywood...... It is a commercial film that is very jīng liang made.
I've seen the dailies once before, and now I'm watching them again in the cinema and I'm still engaged.
At the end of the hour-and-forty-minute film, listening to the watery applause in the theater - although I know that there is a lot of politeness in this applause, I am still confident - the film must have made a lot of .gif money
