Chapter 219: Everything is expected
Although the death of the governor's secretary caused quite a stir in New York, the police collected evidence at the scene and investigated, and arrested some people in a big way, but they never really found the murderer.
After speaking by phone with Washington, Gov. Jennings Maxey hosted a solemn and lavish funeral for his aides, which was attended by both the culprits Zhou and Rosa, but the two were in very different moods from the others.
Zhou Yu asked the cripple to follow up on the follow-up of this matter, but found that the governor had accepted a substitute ghost handed over by the police department, a hotel hostess, on the grounds that he was motivated by wealth and committed murder temporarily, and there was no other conspiracy or organization.
It's okay to deceive ordinary citizens with this reason, but as long as you have a little channel and brains, you know that this matter must not be simple.
At the funeral, Rosa wore a black dress and a black gauze hat, hid behind Zhou Yu, and gently tugged on the latter's sleeve and said:
"Bruce, let's get out of here, I always feel like there's a pair of eyes watching me, do you think it's his soul?"
Zhou Yu squinted slightly, swept through the crowd attending the funeral, and suddenly saw the back of a person wearing a peaked cap and hurriedly turned away.
"I'm sure it's not a spirit, it's someone else...... Rosa, you still try to go out alone as much as possible recently, although this matter has been closed on the surface, the investigation behind the scenes will definitely not be so easy to pass. ”
"Huh? So what to do? I...... I can't find the informant who gave me the lead..... Nothing will happen to him, right? ”
"Your informant has either left New York or has left this world, no need to try to find him, the current situation is that the enemy is in the dark, I can only pay more attention, wait until the other party can't bear to jump out, if you really feel bored, go to Canaan for a while, where absolutely no one can monitor and follow you."
For the time being, the matter of Rosa was handled conservatively, and Zhou Yu asked the cripple to send someone to follow up on the matter.
So, in this atmosphere of worrying about being calculated, June passed quietly, and the weather in New York gradually became hotter.
Coca-Cola's advertisements began to appear on the streets, and Zhou Yu's plastic straws ushered in another blowout sales peak with this shareholder wind.
Even Coca-Cola's executives used straws in their own advertisements, and Zhou Yu said that he fully received the friendly signals released by the other party, and even bought some of the shares sold by Coca-Cola.
Not only Coke, Zhou Yu also pulled Carl Morgan, an executive of the Morgan Trust Group, to set up an investment company called "Qinglian Fund".
He seems to have shifted his attention to the stock market again, investing in small inventions and small businesses that have recently appeared on the market.
Of course, these are all thunderous and famous for Zhou Yu, and whether they buy their shares for short-term realization or long-term holding, they will not suffer a loss, this is the welfare that belongs to the traverser.
"Mr. Zhou, we opened three more bars last month, and at the same time, due to the continued high sales of the straw factory and the bubble gum factory, we have almost recovered the cost of the upfront investment, not only that, but Lawyer David has also absorbed some distributors in other states, and several infringement lawsuits have also been fought beautifully, and have received large damages.
In addition, the publicity effect of the new movie is quite enthusiastic, it is reported that all the pre-purchase tickets for the premiere of the theater in New York and surrounding cities have been sold, not only that, but also gave birth to a profession called scalper, on the black market, the price of a movie ticket for the premiere has increased by five or six times, Mr. Zhou, are we looking for someone to warn these guys? ”
Listening to Liu Banxian's report on the income and expenditure of various investments in the Chamber of Commerce, Zhou Yu held a cup of black tea in his hand and drank it with and without a match.
It was originally expected that these businesses would be profitable, but there was nothing surprising, but he didn't expect that the script he made in advance, and the first movie with the color imaging synchronous sound transmission system would be so popular, even the mime master Chaplin found Zhou Yu and wanted to ask his boss to tailor a script for him.
I have to say that as an insider of Canaan Film and Television City, Chaplin has read the script of "Gone with the Wind" in advance and thinks it is very good and quite touching.
Of course, they didn't know that Zhou Yu's pure plagiarism was pure plagiarism, he made this huge book appear in front of everyone twenty years in advance, and fire was what it should be.
"The appearance of scalpers does not need to be completely suppressed, their approach is also to promote us in disguise, after all, in this era, there are basically no poor people who can go to the cinema to watch movies, and those rich people don't make money for nothing~ But you're right, you should warn them and let them spit out part of their profits."
Speaking of this, Zhou Yu nodded his finger again and added: "This matter will be handed over to Lao Hu, he has experience in this area." ”
Liu Banxian nodded thoughtfully and continued his daily work report.
"Mr. Zhou, the laboratories you invested in and built ...... I couldn't figure out what was going on inside, but Congressman Morton seemed to be showing a strong interest in it. ”
"Oh? When? I hadn't heard him talk about it in front of me. ”
Liu Banxian grinned and said with disdain: "Of course he didn't dare to say it in front of you, but he asked me several times in front of me, and he always asked Xiucai to have dinner with me alone, intentionally or unintentionally, and I always felt that this councilor didn't have any good intentions." ”
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "Our dear Congressman Moulton feels threatened, our Chamber of Commerce is developing too fast, and the level of partners I am in contact with is getting higher and higher, he probably feels that he can't control us anymore, as for asking you and Xiucai in private...... It's nothing more than wanting to support you and let you go against me, hey~ You also played an imperial trick? But he seems to think too highly of himself. ”
Liu Banxian pondered for a moment and tried to ask, "This guy still wants to split in our C13?" The next time he calls me to dinner, I won't give this face again! ”
"No, he told you to go to dinner, after all, we still have to rely on Mr. Councillor, we still have to give face, eat pictures, take pictures of sycophants, but we just need to remember who we are and what we should do."
"Mr. Zhou, I understand what you mean, next time he invites him to dinner, I will call Mu Dezhu and Big Mouth, I have to eat him!"
While Liu Banxian continued his daily report, the cripple pushed open the door of the Chamber of Commerce, his expression was quite anxious, and he limped in.
Seeing this, Liu Banxian put away the account book first and stopped reporting, because he knew that the cripple must have something very important to report.
"Mr. Zhou, I just received the news that Mr. Roosevelt was on vacation with his family and was seriously injured in the process of participating in the firefighting, although he is out of danger, his legs are unconscious, and he is likely to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair."
Zhou Yu looked stunned when he heard this, but he quickly recovered, and muttered in his mouth: "It's time to come after all, but it's faster and earlier than I imagined, and even the mountain fire was affected by the wings of the butterfly...... Looks like the preparations we made have to be quickened a little faster......"
