Chapter 757: Tearing the face
The TV was playing a news program that happened out of nowhere.
"We will investigate Zhou's behavior," the big man said at a press conference......
"Do you mean to say that Mr. Zhou Xiao is a spy?" There are reporters shouting loudly below.
"I didn't say that, but we felt that Mr. Zhou Xiao had a possible connection with China......
"Do you have proof!?"
"We can't wait for evidence to investigate this kind of thing, no one can bear the consequences of what happened, so we have to prepare in advance......"
"Then what huge consequences can Mr. Zhou Xiao cause? Is he qualified to spy on any state secrets!? The reporter asked again.
"Of course we didn't mean that......"
The Q&A press conference on TV was still going on, but AZX was about to explode.
"I didn't expect them to completely tear their faces." Zhou Xiao said with a wry smile, yes, the other side has completely torn his face, earlier today, before the press conference of the Japanese government, the relevant departments had sent Zhou Xiao a request to cooperate with the investigation.
They had already investigated the people of AZX before, and the financial officer who was taken away for investigation only carried out a very small punishment in the end, and it had almost no impact on AZX, but compared to the impact, the small financial being taken away and being investigated is not a matter at all compared to Zhou Xiao being taken away, once Zhou Xiao is really investigated, it will be really a shocking thing for Japan.
And, as before, if he is investigated, many people may not care if he does it or not.
But unlike before, in the past, if someone in the tax department of AZX had a problem, the company could seek the help of a lawyer, so that its own people could not leave the company, and even confront the other party in business. But in the matter of Zhou Xiao's side, the other party came forward with the existence of government departments and even government security departments, and Zhou Xiao really has no reason or way to refuse.
Therefore, although watching TV with a wry smile in the company, AZX from the leaders to ordinary employees and even the sweeping aunt really didn't want Zhou Xiao to go out.
"Mr. Zhou Xiao must not be allowed to go out! I may not be able to come back if I go this way! This time, AZX will not necessarily be Mr. Zhou Xiao's company in the future! The staff shouted.
It's not just one person shouting, it's almost the whole company shouting.
AZX's headquarters building is located in Tokyo's busiest Minato Ward, and it is a 48-year-old skyscraper, and there are not many parts of this building that really belong to AZX's entertainment department, and most people around the world see it. This AZX headquarters building is the first company that gave birth to the legendary "Minecraft", "LOL" and LOL card games, and then it is a company that owns shares in several major SNS sites in Japan and even Twitter and other sites, and also has a large market share on video sites and live streaming sites.
At this moment, the entire building, whether it is the Arts Department or the Game Department, the Network Department, is paying attention to one thing, the sound of the whole building not letting Zhou Xiao go, this voice is so loud that even if Zhou Xiao is in the office of the Arts Department, he can still hear it vaguely!
Zhou Xiao could only smile bitterly at this, he was a business person, even if the company opposed it so loudly, there was absolutely no way to resist the other government's government department.
What's even more terrifying. If he really didn't do anything wrong, then it's okay to say, but in fact, the things he did can't be said to be a bad thing, but if you want to say those things, you can't say it to the Japanese government. But he has no professional training, and he has no experience in being questioned or even extorting confessions, so if he really goes there, the Japanese side will have some professional interrogators. You don't have to be too powerful, just someone who understands psychology may dig out what is in his heart.
Some realities are that even if he has a strong enough mental quality. Even if he has a firm enough belief in his own approach, once he meets a professional, he may not be able to last long, a professional is very powerful, maybe it is easy to find the person's problems from a person's facial expressions and quickly find the person's flaws and break through words.
So he must not go, and even if he goes, he must not say anything, even if the flaws are discovered by professionals through his subtle facial expressions, he must not say anything!
Of course, if he could, he should never go, although the government's call could hardly be refused, but he still wanted to resist.
How to resist it? The reason why Zhou Xiao smiled bitterly was largely because of the problems on the Chinese side.
He has always been quite proud of his ability to bury his backhand, and being prepared for everything and never fighting unprepared battles was what he was best at, but he had a problem in this direction, and the biggest, most effective, and most powerful backhand ended up being the place where the other party attacked him.
And this also highlights one of his problems, that is, his usual style of dealing with things tends to be prepared first, and have a plan for any situation, once things are beyond his control, the result is that he is likely to lack a good response to things, because he is not good at and has no experience to deal with them.
The Chinese side must be very guilty about him, because a Chinese who has such a big reputation overseas and works so hard takes China as his last resort, and as a result, a country as big as China actually says that it can't help him? It doesn't get much more humiliating than that.
But no matter how much guilt there is, no matter how much benefit these guiltes can bring in the future, it is useless, now, what Zhou Xiao needs at this moment, China can't help him at all, he can only carry it himself.
To successfully resist the other party, the first problem is to never expose yourself, so if you can, you must never go to the other party's place, this is Zhou Xiao's idea, but ...... What can be done to keep yourself from doing so-called assisted investigations?
If it seems to the outside world that you are completely fine, you should never be afraid to be investigated, right? So I have no reason to refuse the investigation at all.
If he really refuses to forcefully say, "I didn't do it, and I don't need to investigate at all, the government is making trouble, I won't pay attention to such words...... then what awaits him may really be an endless investigation and inquiry from the government.
After thinking about it alone in the room for a long time, Zhou Xiao's last thought was...... There is no way!
He looked up to the sky helplessly and sighed: "Is it true that I can't cross this hurdle?" ”
No, no, I haven't done it for nothing in the entertainment industry for so many years, so I can't just forget it.
But he couldn't think of enough ways, and he couldn't help it, so he walked out of the office. After gathering the leadership of the whole company, he asked, "This is the situation now, they want me to go tomorrow to assist in the investigation, but I don't think it's really appropriate for me to go if it is not necessary, because if I go, I will probably lose control of the whole thing, but I can't think of a good enough response myself, so I want to hear your thoughts." ”
A group of people in the company had a heated discussion.
"Boss, aren't you going to ask your friends in the entertainment industry for help?" Someone asked.
"Ask for them? Did it work? "It's really not that Zhou Xiao is arrogant, but it has to talk about actual status. Zhou Xiao is very far from the vast majority of people in the entertainment industry, even if it is the three major imperial palaces, Takuya Kimura and Masahiro Nakai, maybe more people know them, maybe their qualifications and abilities are far better than him, but in terms of the ability to mobilize resources and the resources under control, people in the entertainment industry are definitely not comparable to him.
The most earned in the entertainment industry is probably the figure between three and 700 million yen a year at the level of the three imperial palaces. Zhou Xiao sold a "Minecraft" is one billion dollars, which is 100 billion yen, and the number of artists in Japan who make a year may be similar to this, after all, the artists still have to share most of the profits of the company.
Therefore, in Zhou Xiao's opinion, it is absolutely difficult for people in the entertainment industry to help themselves in this matter. After all, he is directly facing the Japanese government, and he doesn't dare to face an organization, can this group of small artists do it?
"Zhou Xiao, I don't think I should think so. There are practical reasons why you are afraid to face the Japanese government, because the company you control is very large, and it is very dangerous to lose control of the company. So you have to be cautious, and your identity is also a very embarrassing question, but artists, especially those with status, they are not necessarily afraid to face the government's ...... head-on," Uncle Inoue said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, beside Zhou Xiao.
"Oh?" Zhou Xiao was stunned, he really didn't expect this.
At this moment, the phone in his pocket rang.
At this time, it was still a call to his mobile phone instead of his assistant's phone? Who is it?
Zhou Xiao flipped out his phone and saw the name written on it.
"It's Nakaju-san!" He looked at Uncle Inoue in surprise.
"Go find a quiet office for Zhou Xiao! Don't let the others go and continue the discussion! The uncle instructed the staff to find a small office nearby for Zhou Xiao, while he pulled the rest of the company to continue the meeting to discuss the current situation.
After Zhou Xiao was the only one left in the office, he put the phone to his ear.
"Middle-aged seniors?" Zhou Xiao greeted.
"Oh! Zhou Xiao! Are you alright? Nakaju's somewhat hoarse voice came from the phone.
Among the five people in SMAP, Kimura and Zhongju have a close relationship with Zhou Xiao, because they have a lot of cooperation opportunities with Zhou Xiao.
"Of course it doesn't matter, thank you seniors for your concern." Zhou Xiao said.
"By the way, how did you offend them, and did you really do anything?" Nakai asked in a tone that sounded like he was joking.
"Yes, in fact, I am a spy secretly trained by the Chinese government, and I came to Japan to mix in the entertainment industry mainly to spy on Japan's state secrets......" Zhou Xiao said that he couldn't help laughing, he was a superstar boss with billions of dollars and countless works as a spy? What price does it take to be able to afford Zhou Xiao?
Zhongju also smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect them to do so much to attack you." ”
Zhou Xiao could only smile awkwardly at Zhongju's statement, who let him have such an identity.
Zhongju said: "We are all very supportive of you, you don't have to worry too much......"
Zhou Xiao chatted with Zhongju for about five minutes and hung up the phone, but he didn't leave the office right away, because a new call came in immediately afterward.
The call was from Yasu Akimoto.
The meaning expressed by Qiu Yuankang and Zhongju is similar, they both feel that Zhou Xiao is not wrong, and believe and support his call.
The significance of these calls is that there have always been differences between Zhou Xiao and the other party, but in most cases, both sides are still relatively rational, so everyone doesn't think there is any serious problem until this time. The other party can be regarded as completely torn his face, even if he is scolded, he has to get rid of Zhou Xiao, a guy who is in the way in front of them, so everyone will call one after another.
Hang up Akimotoyasu's phone, and the next call is Junjun's, who has just had surgery.
After surgery, it was not very convenient for him to speak, he asked the assistant to help express the same meaning, for Chunjun, Zhou Xiao was almost like a life-saving benefactor, if it weren't for him, maybe Chunjun hadn't discovered the problem of his throat until now, Japan's technology is indeed developed. But even so, there is still danger, even if this danger is not to the point where it will be life-threatening, maybe there is a high chance of removing the vocal cords, which is definitely a difficult blow for a person like Chunjun who lives on music.
So there was a problem on Zhou Xiao's side, even if the relationship between Chunjun and Zhou Xiao was not to the level of SMAP Akimoto Yasu, he was still the first person to call Zhou Xiao.
Originally, he just felt that it was inconvenient to answer the phone in front of everyone in the company to find a room, but it turned out that this phone call was a bit unanswerable, in addition to people in the entertainment industry, many good company leaders who cooperated with AZX also called to express their concern. Whether this kind of call is really worried that no one can be sure, but there is no doubt that it also represents Zhou Xiao's connections.
It took more than half an hour just to answer the phone, and when I came out half an hour later, the meeting on Uncle Inoue's side had ended.
Go back to your office. Zhou Xiao called the uncle to continue to discuss the response, and about an hour later, a staff member suddenly broke in.
It was really a break-in, and the staff member didn't even knock on the door but directly ran the door and came in.
"What's the matter!?" Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue were both surprised. It's not often that this kind of rudeness is common in Japan.
"Boss, watch TV!"
"TV? What's wrong? Zhou Xiao asked.
"I ...... Live program ...... No, just look at it! The staff said.
After all, it's in the media industry. There was a big-screen TV in Zhou Xiao's office, and before he could react, Uncle Inoue had already stood up and turned on the TV.
Transferred the TV station to Japanese TV, and Inatsuno Goro appeared on TV.
Goro-senpai?
Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue looked at each other for a moment, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes.
Inatsuno Goro is participating in a ribbon live show on Japanese TV, and surprisingly, looking at the statement on TV, it seems that he was not scheduled to appear before, and he came to participate in it himself.
For TV stations, it is not something that everyone will look forward to when someone suddenly wants to join the live broadcast, the programs all have scripts, and it is difficult to do a good job in the case of a sudden person, and everyone has no script at all.
But Dao Heng Goro's status is here, and his desire to be on the show will be of great help to the show itself, so the crew did not refuse to let Dao Heng appear in front of the camera.
On TV, Inatsuro is handsome in a straight suit, but there is also a reality that whether it is the studio on TV or the audience watching TV, everyone's eyes are not on Inatsuro Goro but on the woman behind him!
That's right, Dao Heng is on the show with a girl!
"Masuda!" Zhou Xiao opened his mouth wide and looked at Dao Heng in surprise, Masuda Youhua, who had been transferred to NMB48 for two years!
Among the members of AKB who were not very popular in their previous lives, Zhou Xiao can be said to be one of the best for Masuda, he asked the girl to move to the Osaka NMB where he was born, and gave her the position of captain, Masuda, who was already born in the K team, is also very enthusiastic, as the captain of NMB, she successfully condensed the newborn NMB, and she also has quite good popularity.
She has gradually begun to be popular enough, and she may not reach the heights of Aya Yamamoto and Miyuki Watanabe in the future, but as long as she continues to do it, she should be able to do it for a long time in the AKB Group as the soul of NMB.
But now it seems that all predictions are going to end here.
She was taken on this show by Inatsuro Goro, and the purpose is self-evident.
Zhou Xiao knew that these two people were secretly in love, and at this moment, he was not sure what these two people were going to do, but there were probably not many things they could do......
Sure enough, Dao Heng pulled Masuda over.
The girl walked up to the camera, looked directly at the camera and said, "I'm Masuda Yuhua...... Will graduate from NMB48 and AKB48 Group and ...... and Inatsuro Goro-san...... Betrothal! ”
"Ahh The whole studio is crazy, not only the studio, Zhou Xiao can hear it, but the staff of AZX outside the office are also crazy!
And Zhou Xiao and Uncle Inoue looked at the TV screen with a wry smile on their faces, both of them knew that the two were dating, but they could just dating, and Daoheng was in a relationship, and the company was unlikely to stop them, or rather, the company was a little happy to see it, but ...... Really want to get married?
This is a marriage!
How many people have only gotten married in the past 20 years? What's more, this person is still the prodigal son Inatsuno Goro? Even Zhou Xiao felt that his IQ was not enough. (To be continued.) )
