Obviously, what Cao Zhiqiang said to Director Li was a kind of improvisable misdirection, but this misdirection was just right to make Director Li convinced.

The reason is very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang's explanation is very reasonable, and it is what Director Li thinks in his heart.

After all, in Director Li's opinion, the benefits he wanted before were not much, and Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to put it forward.

In addition, after getting along during this time, the cooperation between him and Cao Zhiqiang has been good, and there are no contradictions and conflicts between the two sides, and even he has always been supportive and loving to Cao Zhiqiang.

According to Director Li's view of Cao Zhiqiang, even if Cao Zhiqiang feels sorry for the 20% profits, he will take the initiative to discuss the amount with him, and there is no reason to secretly go to the old leader to complain, not to mention that with Cao Zhiqiang's mind and means, he may not feel sorry for the 20% profits.

After all, the 20% of the profits are scattered to him and Secretary Dong, which is equivalent to a bundle of interests, and they will be people in the same boat in the future.

Cao Zhiqiang is such a smart person, there is no reason to be so short-sighted, and now he wants to recover that little profit.

In addition, Director Li also knows very well that the old leader hates his subordinates for corruption and bribery in his life, and if Cao Zhiqiang tells the old leader that, then Cao Zhiqiang will also be implicated, and may even lose the trust and care of the old leader.

The reason why he is so sure is because Director Li not only understands the character of the old leader, but also understands Cao Zhiqiang's details.

That's right, compared with others, Director Li actually knows better what the real relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and the old leader is, and knows that the direct relationship between the two is not at all what the outside world rumores, what kind of distant relatives.

Very early, Director Li secretly investigated Cao Zhiqiang, and after knowing that Cao Zhiqiang's real backstage was the old leader, he was more cautious and asked him everywhere about his real relationship with the old leader.

In fact, the real relationship between Cao Zhiqiang and the old leader is not difficult to inquire, as long as you find the old leader's nanny for a meal, give some gifts, and arrange her son's work by the way, everything will be clear.

According to the old leader's nanny, Cao Zhiqiang and the old leader are not related, but the old leader has a cook friend who has been friends for many years and has a good relationship.

And this Cao Zhiqiang is the neighbor of the old leader, a cook friend.

Then, Cao Zhiqiang somehow knew the relationship between his neighbor and the old leader, so he begged the neighbor to take the lead and introduce the old leader once.

Under the introduction of the cook named He Yuzhu, after Cao Zhiqiang officially met with the old leader, he made a self-recommendation by virtue of his ability to speak, plus he did have some talent and ability, and he really won the favor and favor of the old leader, so he gave Cao Zhiqiang a little help and became a pair of New Year's friends.

In this way, the old leader became Cao Zhiqiang's backstage, and he spared no effort to help him.

I think that at the beginning, when he heard the news, Director Li was still amazed, and he was very smacked by Cao Zhiqiang's drilling ability.

But this also shows that Cao Zhiqiang's relationship with the old leader is actually not deep, at best he is an old cadre who has taken a back seat, appreciates the talented juniors, and promotes the relationship with the juniors.

Therefore, once Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to tell the old leader that he secretly sent money to Director Li and Secretary Dong, this would definitely touch the old leader's backlash.

Normally speaking, according to the temper of the old leader, if it was really Cao Zhiqiang who told him, the old leader should have called him, Secretary Dong and Cao Zhiqiang and others to confront him, and then criticized the education together, instead of just calling Secretary Dong with him, not calling Cao Zhiqiang, and not even criticizing Cao Zhiqiang.

The only explanation is that the old leader misunderstood, thinking that he and Secretary Dong took the initiative to bribe Cao Zhiqiang, thinking that Cao Zhiqiang was an innocent victim, so he did not call Cao Zhiqiang over and did not criticize Cao Zhiqiang.

In fact, the old leader's criticism last time was also the same tone, that is, he only severely criticized him and Lao Dong, but did not mention Cao Zhiqiang.

This originally made Director Li and Secretary Dong suspicious, but this suspicion was not to suspect Cao Zhiqiang's complaint, but to suspect that something was wrong on his side.

It was only out of caution that Director Li asked Cao Zhiqiang, but he was more worried that Cao Zhiqiang had leaked the news, not that he suspected that Cao Zhiqiang had a problem.

Cao Zhiqiang is also very smart, and he quickly heard what Director Li meant, so he simply made something out of nothing and misled Director Li.

In fact, Cao Zhiqiang did this, not because he was afraid of Director Li, but because he didn't want to cause trouble.

After all, he made it very clear to Uncle Xu before that it was enough for Uncle Xu to knock on Director Li, but he didn't want to change people, after all, he cooperated with Director Li very well.

Of course, the reason why Cao Zhiqiang secretly sued Uncle Xu was not because he felt sorry for the two percent of the profits.

After all, the two percent are two percent of the net profit, not the two percent of the selling price, which are two different things, so at the time, it was not particularly outrageous.

It's just that with the hot sale of the book "Jianghu Xing", the income is getting higher and higher, and the net profit obtained by Cao Zhiqiang is getting higher and higher.

It can be said that with the current share of Director Li and Secretary Dong, once it is exposed, it will be a proper major economic crime.

Once Director Li and Secretary Dong are finished because of economic problems, Cao Zhiqiang also has to follow, because he belongs to the bribery party.

Don't think why, this is Cao Zhiqiang's private income, and his 20% profit is a private gift, which is useless to the relevant departments.

In other words, Cao Zhiqiang originally thought that this method would work, but later he consulted relevant people, specifically Chen Jiabang's secretary, and realized how wrong he was.

The biggest problem is that Cao Zhiqiang's way of making profits is through Hongguang Publishing House, which is a state-owned enterprise or a subordinate unit of Hongguang Machinery Factory.

In this way, Cao Zhiqiang made a profit through Hongguang Publishing House, and then turned to pay the money to Director Li and Secretary Dong, whether the money given is part of your personal income, this is bribery.

Don't ask, that's what the rules are.

Therefore, after understanding this, Cao Zhiqiang has long wanted to find an opportunity to cut off this road of sharing, find a more reasonable or compliant method, and let Director Li and Secretary Dong get rich "legally".

Cao Zhiqiang's idea to Director Wang of Yuhong Machinery Factory, that is, the idea of "buying box office" through the video hall, is an attempt by Cao Zhiqiang, and this kind of practice that is obviously illegal in later generations is legal for now.

Why is it legal?

Because transferring money through the video hall, it was Cao Zhiqiang who used his private income to buy the box office of the video hall, even if the problem was found out, it was Cao Zhiqiang's personal behavior, and it was also self-employed, not state-owned assets, then it was not a big problem, or it was not a problem.

And if this self-employed person who has made money happens to be relatives such as the wife and children of the factory director or the secretary, it is not a problem at all according to the current regulations.

The families of cadres are not allowed to do business, that was a later thing, and there is no such rule now.

In short, the current situation is that state-owned enterprises are no trivial matter, and Cao Zhiqiang's previous bribery, no, the method of sharing, as long as it involves state-owned assets, it is a crime.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang has long wanted to cut off the interest binding line with Director Li and Secretary Dong, but it is difficult to say it clearly, for fear that the other party will have any alternative ideas.

It just so happened that Cao Zhiqiang had just given Uncle Xu a "big gift" before, if there was no accident, the relevant departments would focus on protecting Cao Zhiqiang in the future, so it would be better to take this opportunity to beat Director Li and Secretary Dong through Uncle Xu, so that they could understand the seriousness of the matter.

In this way, there is no need for Cao Zhiqiang to be a bad guy, and he can cut off the sharing behavior between Director Li and Secretary Dong in the publishing house, and of course, the reselling transaction behavior with other machinery factories, and solve the relevant crisis in advance.

As for Cao Zhiqiang's personal income, it is not a problem, because the part of his personal income is an explicit manuscript fee, and he collects money according to the contract, which is two different things.

However, if Cao Zhiqiang's personal income received in accordance with the contract is directly distributed to Director Li and Secretary Dong, this is bribery.

Of course, this is not to say that Cao Zhiqiang wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and he will not give benefits to Director Li and Secretary Dong, he will not be able to.

It's Cao Zhiqiang, who wants to use a better way, that is, the method he told Director Wang before, to re-tie Director Li and Secretary Dong to himself, but this way, at least for now, is legal.

Also, through this incident, you can also let Director Li and Secretary Dong be more vigilant and clean up the people around them in advance, so as not to make trouble for people with red eyes.

Anyway, it's all good.

And that's exactly what happened.

After the meeting with Director Li, Cao Zhiqiang quickly implemented Wang Xiaohong's work and made her a cashier of Hongguang Publishing House.

That night, Cao Zhiqiang asked Director Li and Secretary Dong to have dinner again, and told him the idea he had told Director Wang, that is, the method of "buying box office in the video hall".

As soon as this method was said, it immediately made Director Li and Secretary Dong very moved.

After all, as Cao Zhiqiang said, this method is safer and not afraid of investigation.

In this way, the next day, Director Li's eldest grandson and Secretary Dong's third grandson borrowed a sum of money from Cao Zhiqiang, and each opened a self-employed video hall in different places.

Thanks to the help of Director Liu of the Art Bureau, the formalities for these two people to open a video hall in the capital were very easy and not difficult to do.

As long as the formalities are complete and the money is in place, renting a house, buying equipment, and decorating these things are all trivial.

When Director Li's eldest grandson and Secretary Dong's third grandson were busy in the video hall together, Cao Zhiqiang was not idle.

In other words, during these days, Cao Zhiqiang is the busiest one.

Because he is busy dubbing and dubbing his movie "Love in Guting", post-production, polishing "Love in Guting", releasing his new music album, and releasing a new music album for Hao Shuwen.

Dubbing and dubbing "Love in the Ancient Pavilion", as well as post-production, is actually not difficult, after all, he has a "audio-visual production dream space", and it is not difficult to score and post-produce a well-filmed video.

The real difficulty is that Cao Zhiqiang has to be more leisurely in post-production, don't go too far in post-production, so as not to be unable to explain afterwards.

Of course, it was precisely because he wanted to hide from everyone that Cao Zhiqiang decided to bring a copy of the master's tape with him when he went to Japan this time, and then pretended to find a post-production company in Japan and use Japanese technology to do post-production.

As for the Japanese post-production company, Cao Zhiqiang has thought about it, he can't find a ready-made post-production company in Japan, but uses the US dollars given to him by the relevant departments afterwards to set up an offshore leather bag company.

The company is registered in the Virgin Islands and its office is located in Japan.

At this time, at least my home country is not so capable of finding out the specific situation of a certain company in Japan, let alone the Virgin Islands, which is registered in the Virgin Islands.

Even if someone checks it, it can be said to be a service-oriented company, and the specific post-production personnel are anonymous and confidential to the company, so it should be able to cope with it for a long time.

In other words, the post-production company must be foreign, and it is better to have more than one, and there are several more leather bag companies.

Film and television post-production companies are not a sensitive industry, and generally no one will check them, and they will not find out the problem.

As long as Cao Zhiqiang's post-production is not too out of line and does not exceed Hollywood standards, it is not a big problem.

At most, when asked, it was said that the Hollywood team was doing private work anonymously, which was not a big problem.

Of course, it is only expedient to start a company in Japan, and the best place to do it is in Xiangjiang.

However, at present, it is not convenient for Cao Zhiqiang to go to Xiangjiang to do it, which will have to be talked about later.

Post-production is easy to say, as for dubbing, in fact, as long as you concentrate on it for two days, it will be no problem.

Music albums are even more fine, they are all ready-made, just find a few good songs and copy them, and then record them.

It's just that this time, Cao Zhiqiang doesn't plan to make a solo record, but a group record, that is, the chorus of him and Hao Shuwen.

The tracks of the record are all ready-made, just copy the "On the Moon" of the Phoenix legend in the previous life.

Although the album "On the Moon" was called a song of earth in the previous life, rural heavy metal, its popularity is real.

In the early 80s, this album is actually more in line with the times, as long as the lyrics are slightly changed, it will be a hit.

This is also the case, because in the actual singing and recording process, Cao Zhiqiang is fine, but Hao Shuwen was really shocked by the songs of this album.

Especially the title song "On the Moon", Hao Shuwen couldn't stop singing.

However, because Hao Shuwen has a hoarse and low voice, when she really sings, Hao Shuwen actually sings the original male voice, and the original female voice part is sung by Cao Zhiqiang.

Not to mention, in this way, the effect will explode, after all, Cao Zhiqiang has a golden voice talent, and soaring high notes are the easiest to shine, and when paired with Hao Shuwen's deep female voice, the effect is very good.

Cao Zhiqiang works non-stop every day, and he is not idle for a moment.

In this kind of high-intensity work, it took him a whole week to finally get everything done here.

Next, he can go abroad to Japan with peace of mind.

However, the night before Cao Zhiqiang was about to go to Japan, two uninvited guests suddenly came.
