Chapter 134: "Dragon Slaying Conference" (1)
(Ask for a ticket!) Ask for a ticket! )
Li Yaoyang looked at the photos, pretended to be casual and asked:
"If I'm not mistaken, you said that you don't know Mike Miller well, that is, you know each other, so why are you checking him?"
"Hehe~ It's just a simple check, I said, I will check everyone who may be useful to me, including you." Ricardo wasn't flustered by the question.
"Really? I don't think so, judging from the information you have, you haven't checked him for a day or two, and it's not just a casual check, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to grasp such a detailed information about the flow of funds. Li Yaoyang is not a vegetarian either, and he quickly grasped the specific situation.
Ricardo sank his face:
"You've crossed the line, I don't have to report everything to you, do I?"
"Of course it's not necessary, I'm also asking casually, don't take it to heart~"
He sorted out the information and got up:
"Okay, you rest early, I'll withdraw~"
"Wait!" Ricardo stopped him and snapped:
"Don't blame me for not reminding you of something, Mike Miller doesn't like to be threatened, so use the information you have with caution."
This is equivalent to giving you a carton of eggs, and then turning around and telling you that the eggs still have 2 days to pass the expiration date, do you eat them or not?
After speaking, he went upstairs, and did not give Li Yaoyang a chance to complain.
Go back with the information, gather the brothers, and start assigning tasks:
"Xiao Wu, you and Xiao Qi have worked hard to find out what this woman is, where she lives, what she does, how she meets Mike Miller, and so on."
"Yes!" Xiao Wu took a frontal photo as a reference.
"Ron, I'll give you this account and see if you can find out the source of the funds."
"Hmm~ I'll try, but are you sure you want to do it? Once you don't get it right, it's easy to push him to the opposite side. Ron reminded.
"I know, but your Uncle Thomas can't be relied upon, I have to find a strong backer, and Mike Miller is the only option."
It's not that Ron doesn't understand this, he just wants to say the ugly thing ahead.
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
———————————
Winter is always very long, I don't know why, a day is 24 hours, but I always feel like 48 hours.
And this winter is extremely cold, there are not a few snowfalls, the wind is blowing, and there are no people outside.
However, this did not lead to a decline in the tavern business, but rather stimulated the sale of alcohol in disguise.
Many poor people who can't afford coal or firewood have to rely on low-quality alcohol to warm themselves.
'Wild boar' is undoubtedly everyone's first choice, it is delicious, strong enough, and cheap.
Of course, this is only relatively speaking, the ex-factory price has reached 50 dollars, and it is not impossible to rise to at least 60 dollars in the hands of the terminal, and 70 dollars.
After all, 'wild boar' is now hard currency, and the fixed production of 3,000 bottles per month will inevitably lead to a situation where supply exceeds demand.
In the huge New York City, 3,000 bottles a day is about the same, a month? It's not enough at all.
Demand will inevitably lead to price increases, this is the law, there is no way, so that wild boars have become a 'luxury' in the eyes of some people.
Selling the noble bird to Africa is still regarded as a luxury product, but in fact it is an ordinary sports brand.
Of course, people in this era are more wild, they can't drink what they want to drink, and even if they can, they can't afford it, but they really want to drink, so what should I do? You can only take risks.
The trucks that deliver to the major 'dealers' have become cash trucks in the eyes of some drunkards.
Smashing and looting occur from time to time, and if it weren't for the escorts carrying guns, the losses would have gone to sea.
In the midst of chaos and busyness, the time came to the end of January, and the last convention before the formation of the Broadway Alliance was held at the Plaza Hotel.
The three Schubert brothers were the conveners and the organizers of the meeting.
As the current leader of the all-ugly drama industry, they do have enough appeal.
Moreover, the framework of the alliance has been preliminarily determined, and the guests who can come to the conference are also members of the future alliance.
Everyone was in a good mood, all smiling, gorgeously dressed, and it didn't look like they were coming to a meeting, but more like attending an aristocratic party.
Li Yaoyang and Sarah also attended in full costume, one black and one white, like a pair of beautiful people returning from their honeymoon.
Sarah wore the 'Heart of the Ocean' again and killed countless films in seconds.
Unlike the last Christmas Ball, 95% of the guests present today are linked to the theater industry, so they naturally know who Li Yaoyang is and know his identity and status.
"Titanic" and "Phantom of the Opera", the creators of the two classic dramas, and the most popular producer in the theater industry in the past year or so.
As we all know, it is difficult to create a classic, and even more difficult is the success of two dramas in a row, and such a star producer, no matter what color he is, is worthy of the competition of various theater owners.
As soon as Li Yaoyang entered, he was surrounded by people, and soon, he saved a stack of business cards in his hand, and his smiling face was cramped.
Sarah smiled quietly on the side, completely unaware of being dug into the wall, but gloating.
finally broke free from the crowd, and before he could catch his breath, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard greeted him and hugged Sarah:
"It's been a long time since I've seen Mrs. Hudson, and you're still so radiant."
"Jacob, your mouth is still so sweet."
"Ha~ Thank you for the compliment, this must be Lee, right?" Jacob looked over with a friendly smile.
"I'm Lai Yaoyang, you can call me Lee, Mr. Schubert."
"Hey~ Just call me Jacob like Sarah, it's all your own people, don't see outside." Jacob winked his eyebrows and stretched out his hand to shake Li Yaoyang.
Invite the duo to the Champagne Tower:
"Have a drink? The wine will not be served until a while, so I will make do with the champagne first, and I apologize for the special period. ”
"Champagne is good, thank you!" Sarah responded, and Jacob's voice changed sharply:
"By the way, I heard that you also have a side hustle, which is to sell alcohol?"
Li Yaoyang touched his nose, this matter is already known to everyone?
After all, I didn't know him well, and I was perfunctory:
"Uh~ this... Do you need it? ”
"No, I just said casually, I knew that I would get the goods in your hands, and at least I could get a discount."
"Next time, next time there will be a chance to work together."
Seeing that he didn't want to talk more about this topic, Jacob looked at Sarah again:
"I'll go to the side hall in a while, and the owners of the theaters are there."
"Okay~"
Taking his leave for the time being, Jacob had to go to greet the other guests.
Not long after leaving, someone said sourly behind his back:
"Yo, who am I, isn't this our famous Broadway producer Lee? How? Don't know me anymore? ”
Li Yaoyang didn't need to look back to know who the owner of the voice was, except for that person, no one was so small-bellied.
