Chapter 833: God's Bastard Son
There is a good saying, you have your ideals, I have mine. If you want me to support your ideals, there are only two ways, either you buy me or you convince me. Since there are two ideals, it is difficult to convince, so there is actually only one way to get others to support you, and that is to buy.
From Hong Kong actors to Hollywood giants, from emotionally minded talents like Uncle Zeng to financial giants like Shantino, almost no one can refuse his persuasion, and they are all contributing to his ideals.
There are people who are persuaded by him, and naturally there will be a very small number of people who refuse to be persuaded by him, and there will be those who he does not want to persuade. CAA's Brian refused his persuasion, and as a result, CAA fell apart under the joint attack of the film company and the brokerage company.
And Ms. Helen Abraham is the one he does not want to convince, because the fundamental interests of the two sides have conflicted, and there is no longer any possibility of being convinced. When both sides realized that they could not convince each other, they invariably chose the other party's betrayal of their friendship as an excuse, tore off the veil of friendship with warmth, and directly began to lay out their attack plans.
……
As soon as James and his wife realized that Sun Ziming could not compromise, they deeply regretted the swarking snake in Tokyo. If you conclude that the other party is unlikely to compromise, you can investigate secretly, or let your allies investigate, knock the other party down, make a stink, or force the other party to spit out the fat that has already been eaten in their mouths.
"James, if someone provides the funds, are you sure you can get valid evidence?"
James, the former head of the British secret service, looked at his wife helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "Helen, in the past, the political department had so many advantages, and we couldn't get conclusive evidence, do you think it's still possible now?"
My dear, the other side is a community of interests, and we can't afford to pay such a high price and buy heavyweights. If you have to buy it, at most you can find some small leaders to testify, but there is no real threat to the people behind the scenes. That's why I advise you to cooperate, because the evidence we have is actually of no practical significance in court. ”
Helen pondered, and asked rhetorically, "Evan Lee, for example?" Can we buy him again? ”
"Yes, Evan used to be Edward's spokesperson, but we can't buy him because he's got what he wants. As far as I know, he has already made hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in profits by investing in oil futures through Guò Ming's financial company, and can we still provide a higher social and political status than the parliamentarians? ”
The two of them fought for a while, but unfortunately they couldn't buy any useful people in Hong Kong. If it was before Ninety-Seven, James could still rely on power and interests to buy a large number of people, but now he is powerless. Maybe it's okay to let the former subordinates do a little favor, but to deal with the Far Eastern Group, which is faintly allied with all the heavyweights and billionaires in Hong Kong and Macau, I'm afraid no one will have the strength and guts, unless those people are willing to give up their current status or wealth.
"Helen, if you really want to fight back, I build yì You have to rely on the strength of BP and WP, not rely on us alone!"
Yes, Helen looked at the names crossed out with some loss, once upon a time, that hateful Chinese was just a little person who was arrogant on the surface but actually used his talent to please himself, but now he can make himself helpless.
'Knock knock', a knock on the door, not the doorbell, made the couple stunned. It's so late, and there are still guests coming to visit? James, who was born as a secret service leader, specially ordered his subordinates to knock on the door if they were safe, and ring the doorbell if they were not safe, so as to give himself time to deal with the crisis! You must know that the predecessor of Freemasonry was the Xingtian Society, and they dare to kill in Indonesia, even if it is the famous Sheraton Hotel in Hong Kong, there is no guarantee that they will not mess around!
James motioned for his wife to go to the bedroom, and he went to the cat's eye behind the door to take a look, then opened the door and smiled: "Evan? Wow, my old classmate, you surprised me. ”
Li Erwen, who was dressed in casual clothes, looked at the man in a suit next to him and said jokingly: "Old classmate, this is Hong Kong, the best place in the world, and it is also the place where you once served." ”
James waved at his subordinates, who must have used the financial detector just now, and said apologetically: "Evan, I'm sick of the job. Come in, come in. ”
Welcoming Lee Evan into the guest room, James said a little louder: "Helen has already slept, I have eighty-two years of Lafite here, let's have a drink on the balcony?" ”
"Ok", Evan Lee casually glanced at the balcony. It's good on the balcony, there is no sensual woman next to it, and everything is good to discuss. The location was close to the bedroom, so that the lady could listen to it, and James would not have to bother to explain.
James took a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, and Evan Lee took two glasses, sat on the breezy balcony, and began to reminisce about the good old days of the two, all the way to Scotland Yard and beautiful Hong Kong.
"James, I have to thank you, if it weren't for your strong recommendation, maybe I would be a senior superintendent at best."
Although he was also born in a small aristocracy, James also experienced discouragement, and learned to be humble in the East, and said in a loud voice: "No, no, my old classmate, your success is more due to your own efforts." My recommendation is nothing but a stepping stone, with your talent, even without my help, you will find a suitable brick. ”
"That being said, how many people can't find that damn brick in their entire lives!"
Sighing, Li Evan touched the glass with James, and said sincerely: "James, I thank you for helping me before, and I also thank you for helping me now." If the two of you have a misunderstanding, it will make it difficult for me to be caught in the middle.
I went to see him just now, and he was arguing with that Mr. Ivan, and the two of them were just going to have a boxing match. ”
James looked at his old classmate playfully and said with a smile: "Evan, that is a genius director, and it may be normal to have a little acting skills." ”
"Yes, I see it that way too", Li Erwen did not deny that Sun Ziming was acting, but changed the conversation and said: "But it also shows his attitude, he doesn't want to have a boxing match with you in a barbaric way." ”
James was in good spirits, and if he could properly resolve the conflict of interest between Far Eastern Group and WP without involving monsters like the California consortium, it would be the best solution.
"Ok, we're all civilized people, and it's best if we can settle disputes in a civilized way.
But I'm curious, what genius ideas will that genius gentleman have? ”
When it comes to serious matters, Li Erwen is very strict in his wording.
"James, since you also admit that the other party is a genius, then you don't expect something impossible to happen. Those things, even ordinary people like us, have countless ways to avoid risks, and the other party will definitely think more than we think. Do you agree with what I say? ”
James nodded slightly, turned the wine glass in his hand, and motioned to his old classmate, the broker in the original circle, to continue. Helen, who only stood by the window in the bedroom and listened, was also silent, listening to the Chinese who she had not looked down on before.
"Ok, if you want to deal with such people, it is nothing more than to use the power of the media to connect many previous things with logic, so that ordinary people can sit in the right seats and ruin each other's reputation.
This method is the least costly, and the public is curious about the privacy of these celebrities, especially those with a good social reputation. Second, the other party's rise speed is too terrifying, even if he is as clean as a virgin/woman, it is easy to make the people accept this statement in a logical way. ”
James was noncommittal, but he didn't interrupt Lee's words, and they were going to sell that information to Murdoch through some channels, which was the idea. Not to mention a series of events with strict logical reasoning, it is impossible for the people to accept it or not. As long as the people accept that Sun Ziming is a genius director and business wizard on the surface, but in fact he is a gang leader who is engaged in arms and drug trafficking, no matter how much charity he does and how many excellent movies he makes, he will be ruined.
"However, there is a dead knot here - the profits made by the other party from financial investments far exceed the profits of those so-called illegal businesses. Everyone knows that the richer and higher the social status of people, the less likely they are to take risks. It is also easy for the other party to ask the public, what is he trying to do those illegal things? ”
Li Erwen took out a list from his briefcase, gently put it on the coffee table, and said with a wry smile: "James, if it weren't for the coincidence, maybe I would never have known in my life that I had just had tea at the house of the richest man in the world." ”
James picked up the fluttering piece of note, glanced at Evan in shock, and asked for a while, "Evan, are you sure these are true?" ”
"James, the other party has given the name of the offshore company, you just need to look it up according to the name, and everything will be clear. If the other party dares to make a list, will they still deceive people? ”
It won't lie! The shareholder information of those well-known companies is public, but in addition to the founders, many major shareholders are disclosed in the form of investment institutions, foundations, etc. However, the information of those investment institutions and foundations is confidential, and they are actually controlled by which offshore company, which consortium or which family they belong to, which is highly confidential.
The other party actually listed the superior offshore companies of several investment institutions and foundations, which proves that those offshore companies are controlled by him. Since he came to Hong Kong to become a director, everyone has been watching him, how he started from scratch, how he fought among many forces, and also knew that he took advantage of the Japanese stock market crash in 91 years and the Middle East war to make a fortune.
In other words, there are no other forces behind Sun Ziming to manipulate it, which means that these institutions and foundations are his private property!
God, he is a genius, he is clearly the illegitimate son of God!
