Chapter 51: The Self-Reliance Portal
Jojo's father was smiling like an old fox, and he squinted at me, with a glint in his eyes from time to time.
I didn't speak, my face pretended to be silent, but I deliberately used slow movements to dig into my jacket pocket.
I deliberately rubbed for a long time, but pretended to touch the pocket of my jacket, but I didn't answer his question, and then when I reached the pocket of my pants, Jojo's father finally got a little impatient, and he threw a box of cigarettes directly on the table.
"Smoke this."
I glanced at it and shook my head: "I don't smoke mixed cigarettes, do you have flue-cured cigarettes?" ”
"Humph!" Jojo's father waved his hand, and soon a service staff came up and delivered a box of cigarettes.
"Boy, don't delay." He looked at me, "Isn't that a difficult question to answer?" Hum...... Do you need to think about it for a long time? ”
"No, it's not hard to answer." I lit a cigarette and smiled: "I don't even have to think about it, I can answer you directly...... But I deliberately didn't speak just now, in fact, I was thinking about ......"
"Consider what?"
I sighed, "Think about what to say so you don't get too angry." ”
Qiao Qiao's father's face stiffened, and he sank his face: "What? Do you want to reject me? ”
"I'm sorry." I shrugged my shoulders, "It's not even negotiable. ”
Seeing Qiaoqiao's father's appearance of a fast hair, I quickly explained: "First of all, this company is not mine, it is Fang Nan's. I'm not qualified to decide anything for her. ”
"Hmph, don't play tricks with me!" Qiao Qiao's father said unhappily: "Fang Nan's meaning is very clear, she wants to transfer the company to you...... As long as you are willing to quit, I can take over this company smoothly. ”
"Still won't work." I shook my head: "I can't answer this question to you, I'm not qualified to answer it." ”
Again, this issue is not negotiable.
The reason is simple...... If Fang Nan really wants to give me the company...... In this case, if I promised Qiao Qiao's father again, wouldn't I make Fang Nan sad...... Failed her heart?
I can't do that from any standpoint.
As for Jojo's father......
Alas!
I sighed.
In fact, in my heart, I really wanted to do something for Jojo's father. In any case, the relationship between me and Jojo has been clarified, so Jojo's father, I must be respected, regarded as an elder, and even ...... Be...... He's almost like my old Tarzan. Like all sons-in-law in the world, I really want to please him and do something to make him happy......
What's more, my current relationship with Qiaoqiao is still a little unreasonable. I wanted to do as much as I could.
But it was Qiaoqiao's father who made this request...... But it has something to do with Fang Nan.
It's not a company problem...... It's not a question of money, either.
This company represents Fang Nan's heart and affection! These are priceless! Can heart and affection be transferred?
Apparently not!
"You're challenging my bottom line." Jojo's father's face was a little unkind. He said slowly: "My daughter was abducted by you, and you also intervened in the business!" Hey! I've been in business all my life, and I've never seen a junior like you. ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Joe." I tried to say in a sincere tone: "I still respect you very much, but I have no right to decide what you requested." After a pause, I said slowly, "I know that in Qiaoqiao's problem, I am at fault...... I'm willing to do anything to compensate if I can, of course, it must be within my authority and ability, anything. ”
"Oh......" Hearing this, Jojo's father's face was slightly gentle, and he looked at me for a while: "Okay...... If that is the case, we can go on and ...... Ownership of the company, hehe...... If the company can't be negotiated, then we have other ways to ...... When you talk about compensation, hehe...... There are many ways to cooperate, such as investment, equity participation, and so on. ”
I thought for a moment: "Can you tell me, why do you think so much of Fang Nan's company?" Although Deep Blue Entertainment is not small in scale and quite influential, it doesn't seem to be important enough for you to be inevitable, right? I don't know much about your business, but I do know that before that, you didn't seem to be involved in the entertainment industry. ”
Qiaoqiao's father thought for a moment, and then slowly confided two words: "Media." ”
"What?"
"If Deep Blue Entertainment is in the hands of others, for example, if you get it, you can use it to make money at most, or cooperate with your American film company to invest in film and television or the domestic entertainment industry to be an entertainment company...... Even if it is well developed, you can at most build a large domestic entertainment company. But if I get this company, it's different...... Let's put it this way, I'm going to invest in media. ”
I was stunned.
Qiaoqiao's father sneered: "What, surprised? ”
"A little." I smiled wryly: "As far as I know, domestic laws are controlled by the press, and media platforms are rarely open to individuals. Whether it's a newspaper, a TV, or even a radio, there's absolutely nothing private! At present, some so-called media companies in China actually produce their own TV programs, and then look for some TV stations to sell their programs. That is, the platform belongs to the state, whether it is a newspaper or television, these are state, and they will definitely not be open to private individuals! Those private media companies are all petty fights, and if the programs they produce are vetoed by the TV station, they will lose all their money and will be subject to many restrictions...... Therefore, opening a media company in China is simply a joke! The state does not allow private ownership of platforms such as television stations or newspapers. Without a platform, it can't be called a 'media company' in the true sense! ”
Jojo's father didn't speak, just smiled softly.
He smiled so incomprehensibly that I couldn't help but feel like I was moved...... Could it be that this old fox can actually be so powerful that he can break the monopoly of the public opinion platform by the state?
But on second thought, this is absolutely impossible! In China, the state will never allow the existence of private television and radio stations or newspapers! The laws of our country are clearly written: the news media exist as the tongue of the state! [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
Even though the economy has opened up in recent years, it is impossible to easily delegate power to private operators under the control of public opinion!
In recent years, some media organizations have been corporatized, such as the "XX Provincial Radio and Television Group" established in many provinces in China, but these media companies are also state-owned, in fact, they combine the television stations and radio stations under the jurisdiction of the province under the jurisdiction of one company, but the company still belongs to the state.
Even if Qiaoqiao's father has a background, he shouldn't have the power to break this kind of ice!
"Boy, don't think about it." Qiaoqiao's father said slowly: "That's it, the specific thing, before we talk about the ownership of the company." I can't tell you. But we can talk about it. Fang Nan's company is the best 'shell' I fancy it, Fang Nan's ability is not bad, after so many years of operation, this company is now relatively perfect in terms of contacts and company channels, which is very in line with my requirements. So, I'm still hoping for ......."
I didn't speak, I just looked at him.
At this moment, I suddenly heard a faint voice from a distance outside the box.
Faintly, there seems to be a conversation between a man and a woman, and then it is accompanied by the sound of noisy footsteps.
This business and leisure place, which was originally quite quiet, was ruined by these noisy people.
Qiaoqiao's father and I frowned at the same time, both feeling that the atmosphere had been interrupted and a little unpleasant.
The box was open, and sitting in my position, facing the outside, I could see very clearly what was going on outside.
At the door of a box about twenty meters from us, there stood a big man, who was wearing a suit. But I clearly saw a tattoo on his neck, judging from the figure, this person was majestic, very strong, and followed by a group of people who looked like little brothers, although they were all wearing suits, but they didn't look like good people.
This big man led a group of people to block the door of a box, but he heard a woman's angry voice coming from inside: "Shen Shan, you really tore your face, and you really didn't care about it at all!" ”
This woman's voice fell into my ears and immediately made my heart move! Because the sound is familiar!
Even in the midst of a bit of anger, it seems that the person who spoke still has a bit of calmness and composure......
Well, how to put it. This kind of anger is definitely not the kind of panic that is as hasty as people arguing and blushing and having a thick neck...... But...... Even if such a person is angry, it is as if a master is angry at a disobedient minion. Even if he is angry, he has a bit of the frame and posture of a superior person.
The big man at the door was facing us sideways, and just from the side, his expression was very indifferent: "There is no need to say the word love...... is still the same sentence, at this time, I don't care about any feelings. There is no love in the world that is worth my Shen Shan's life for it! You can't, the one behind you is even less worthy! Thinking is the same vein in the past, I just sent you back, if you can still understand the meaning of this, just hurry up! ”
The woman's voice asked with a faint question: "Shen Shan, you dare to do it to me, well, you brought so many people here, are you threatening me?" ”
"Don't dare." The man named Shen Shan did not change his face: "I Shen Shan came out to mix, the face was given by my friends, and the status was spelled out by my brothers for me!" What we are facing now is not a small problem, but a net worth! Of course I have to take care of my brothers! I brought so many people here just to let everyone know my Shen Shan's attitude! ”
The woman stopped talking.
Seeing that there was a confrontation inside and outside the box, the service staff of the business center had long been stunned, such a group of men who didn't look like good people were blocked here, where did the people in the business center dare to stop them? The security guard of the hotel also came, but he stood outside and did not dare to come in...... Looking at the cringe-eyed eyes of those security guards, it seemed that they were very afraid of this man named Shen Shan.
When Qiaoqiao's father and I saw this, I was of course puzzled in my heart, just because I heard the voice of the woman inside, and it was faintly familiar.
I have the impression that even when you are angry, you can still maintain such a frame and calm momentum, and naturally the first recommendation is the calm and rational Yang Wei. But this woman is obviously not Yang Wei, her voice sounds a little hoarse than Yang Wei, and it seems that it is far from Yang Wei's momentum of Taishan collapsing in front of her and not changing her face, and it is still a little lacking.
Just as I was thinking nonsense, Qiaoqiao's father had already waved his hand, and one of the subordinates standing outside the door immediately came over and bent down: "Boss." ”
Qiaoqiao's father said lightly: "You go over and tell Shen Shan that I am here to talk to my friends." Let him have something to do outside! ”
"Yes!"
Qiao Qiao's father's subordinate immediately walked over, and before he could get close to the man named Shen Shan, he was stopped by a group of junior brothers behind him. After talking, several junior brothers let this subordinate walk to Shen Shan's side with suspicious eyes, and then whispered a few words to Shen Shan.
The big man named Shen Shan seemed to be stunned for a moment, and with a whisper, he turned around and looked towards us. When his eyes saw the box here, and saw me and Jojo's father sitting face to face, he immediately smiled, and then immediately left the people in the box and strode towards us.
Shen Shan walked to the door of our box, but he didn't even dare to come in, and he owed a debt when he stood outside: "Mr. Qiao...... Sorry, Xiaoshan didn't know you were here too. I'm going to disturb you and your friends talking about things, I'll take someone away right away! ”
Looking at this big man named Shen Shan up close, I saw that he was only forty years old, with a square face, an ordinary appearance, but his eyes revealed a bit of a strong atmosphere, and all his suits were famous brands, but the tattoos exposed in the collar of his shirt were really eye-catching. His attitude towards Jojo's father was respectful, and Jojo's father was just leaning back on the couch. His eyes swept him casually, and he made a "hmm" in his nose before he said slowly: "Okay, let's do it." ”
After a pause, he added: "You Shen Shan has also mixed up to a certain status, remember in the future, in this kind of high-end place, it is better to be more restrained." Be aware of who you are going forward. You let your people out first, and then you come back, and I have something to ask you. ”
This is not a light or heavy reproach, but this man named Shen Shan didn't even dare to have the slightest rebuttal, nodded again and again, and then after going out, he didn't care about anything, and immediately took people out.
Taking advantage of Shen Shan's departure, I glanced at the box in the distance just now that was blocked by these people, and frowned: "Who is this Shen Shan?" ”
"Who?" Qiaoqiao's father smiled: "It's a walk with you, the underworld." ”
"Oh?"
"Hmm." Qiao Qiao's father smiled and looked at me with a hint of deep meaning: "Qinghong's power, in this part of Shanghai, this Shen Shan can at least be a three-point family." It is a leader of Qinghong's district in Shanghai. It's just that I have a good relationship with some old people in Qinghong, and he respects me very much. ”
Qinghong?
I frowned slightly!
But suddenly, my heart moved! I couldn't help but look at the box again! This time, I finally remembered who the talking woman in the box was!
A few minutes later, that Shen Shan came back, but it seemed that he had cleaned up his appearance, buttoned up his shirt, and his suit was much more neat, and cautiously walked into our box, glanced at Qiaoqiao's father, and waited until Qiaoqiao's father raised his hand and pointed to an empty chair in front of him, and then he carefully sat down half of his buttocks.
"What the hell just happened?" Qiaoqiao's father said lightly: "You are not too young now, how do you do things so disproportionately?" It's a 5 star hotel! People who can be on this occasion may meet some horns that you can't afford to mess with! How dare you bring a bunch of people here to put on a show! If you meet some people with a hard background who don't like you and want to fix you, you won't be able to eat and walk around! Do you think this is a small restaurant on the side of the road, where you can enjoy your majesty casually? ”
"Don't dare! Can't! Shen Shan nodded again and again.
"What's wrong? Alarm your Boss Shen to come here and bring people here personally? Jojo's father asked casually, but I noticed that he glanced at me, as if intentionally or unintentionally.
I suddenly understood in my heart!
Jojo's father, this is actually asking for me!
He is Miss Qiaoqiao's father, of course he knows about my grievances with Qinghong!
"Don't call me that! Mr. Qiao, you better call me Xiaoshan. The man smiled bitterly: "What Boss Shen, that's what someone outside called." You call me that, but you call me a long life. He said this and sighed: "Alas, it was originally good, but it was almost hurt to call this woman to come!" ...... hum" He was about to continue, but he looked at me and closed his mouth.
"It's okay, it's one of my own nephews." Jojo's father dispelled his concerns with a word.
"Yes, yes! Originally, there was nothing to hide, but now it's all over the city! Shen Shan sighed, couldn't help but show a bit of a rough temperament, a subconscious move seemed to want to his legs, but suddenly saw Qiao Qiao's father's eyes, quickly put his legs flat, and then continued: "You have also heard of the chaos that has been caused by Qinghongmen recently, right?" ”
"Hmm. Heard a little. ”
"Alas! I don't know if I encountered any evil. Shen Shan shook his head with a bitter look on his face: "I'm caught in the crack of the door now, and my situation is a little bad." Originally, our Qinghong forces, as you know, everyone has this big signboard passed down from their ancestors. But for so many years, it has been three prefixes and three big owners. Originally. We are all in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and they all belong to the big owners with the prefix. Originally, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were close to each other, but there was a Shanghai city in the middle, and it stands to reason that Shanghai's geographical location is in the middle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and it should be under the hands of the big owner of the herringbone prefix. But you also know that Shanghai is such a big piece of fat and such a big and prosperous Shanghai. How can you easily let a family sit? Therefore, our Qinghong in Shanghai has always been divided into three pieces, heaven and earth, and the big owners with the three prefixes have sent people to take care of business here. Originally, over the years, although they occasionally fought with each other, they were all in the same vein as Qinghong, and even if there was a small friction between them, there was still a little affection. Everyone is a brother, and they are just left hand and right hand, and there is nothing to do, so they can be regarded as peaceful. ”
"Yes, in Shanghai, you Shen Shan is now mixed with the shopkeeper of the herringbone prefix, what else is there that makes you unable to get by?" Jojo's father smiled.
"Not really!" Shen Shan slapped his thigh, and couldn't help but show a little anger: "It's Ye Huan's old red guy!! ”
When I heard the name "Ye Huan", my heart jumped!
Qiao Qiao's father smiled silently, but Shen Shan's face sank: "Ye Huan is reversed!" ”
"Is it the other way around?" Jojo's father smiled: "Against what? ”
"!" Shen Shan gritted his teeth: "It's also me Shen Shan who is blind!" I actually changed posts with this guy back then and worshiped my brother! Now it makes Lao Tzu angry! It's really yellow mud that fell into the crotch of his pants, it's not but! This Ye Huan didn't know how it could be, originally he was in Nanjing, and he was in charge of the entire Qinghong Jiangsu Gang. The big proprietor with the prefix made him the big shopkeeper of the Jiangsu Gang, which can be regarded as a prince all the way! But this old boy suddenly reversed a little bit ago, I heard that I don't know what's going on, it seems that the big proprietor with the prefix is going to withdraw him, and as a result, the person sent to Nanjing was actually detained by Ye Huan! Damn, this guy has a lot of hair on his guts, too! Dare to do this kind of thing, I heard that the big boss sent three batches of people, and he deducted three batches in a row! Just refuse to hand over power! Now it's clear that it's going to be self-reliant against the owner! ”
After a pause, Shen Shan couldn't help but sigh: "But Ye Huan, this guy does have the ability, I heard that he made such a fuss, and the entire Jiangsu Gang exploded!" Nanjing is his lair, and he dares to turn his face and kill him! After a week of internal cleaning, I heard that seven or eight corpses had been fished out of the Qintan River! Several leaders who refused to oppose him were killed by him. There is also the sub-shopkeeper in Suzhou, who was beaten to death in his mistress's house, and the guy in Changzhou saw the fastest thing. Ye Huan sent someone to leave a bullet at his bedside at night, and that guy simply rolled up the cover and ran away, but Ye Huan only sent a few people, and he successfully took over a piece of land in Changzhou! No, after more than a month, half of Jiangsu's plates now don't listen to the orders of the big boss, and they have all changed their surnames to Ye! ”
