Chapter 355 [Crossing the River Raptors VS Local Snakes] (2)(1/2)
Chapter 355 [Rapid Dragons vs Local Snake] (2)
Jeffrey is a very smart guy.
This is what the Hollywood circle commented on Jeffrey.
During his time as CIA at DreamWorks, Jeffrey used his extraordinary wisdom and sleek approach to make DreamWorks' revenue surge, ranking among the top companies in the industry.
Jeffrey did not book a Western meal for Li Yi, but ordered a Chinese meal. The restaurant environment was very elegant.
Obviously, Jeffrey still has a certain understanding of Li Yi's habits. He knows that Li Yi does not like to eat Western food.
I have to say that Jeffrey's arrangement made Li Yi feel very happy, and at the end of the dinner, Jeffrey gave Li Yi a surprise: he bought a luxurious villa for Li Yi in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong.
As we all know, Repulse Bay in Hong Kong is a well-known wealthy area, as famous as Long Island in New York, Beverly Hills in Los Angeles, Orangecounty in California, newwww.piaotian.cometo Avenue, etc.
Not all rich people can live in Repulse Bay, Hong Kong. They can buy villas in Repulse Bay, which is not something that can be done with money. Sometimes the role of status is greater, and being able to own a villa in Repulse Bay is originally a symbol of identity!
Jeffrey's approach made Li Yi's evaluation of Jeffrey a higher level.
"Dear Jeffrey, I think God will not forgive me if I don't fulfill my promise to reward you! Let's do this, I'll give you a villa in Repulse Bay." Li Yi said to Jeffrey with a smile when he left the restaurant.
For ordinary people, they may be excited to get a villa in Repulse Bay, but Jeffrey was very calm: "My dear boss, from the moment I promised you to compromise with Miss Liu Siqin, I told myself that I would do something for you. All I did are my own business, and you don't need to reward me. Of course... you can't forget the promise you made with me."
Li Yi was a little surprised when he heard Jeffrey's words. At the same time, he also secretly admired Androv's gaze was so vicious that he immediately found Jeffrey's weakness.
Although Jeffrey chose to refuse, Li Yi insisted on rewarding: "Okay, dear Jeffrey, I will not forget our agreement, and you cannot refuse the reward I give you, well, that's it!"
This time, Jeffrey chose to accept it happily.
On the way to Repulse Bay, four members of the night drove Li Yi's car in the middle in four cars, and the convoy advanced in a diamond shape. The one who drove for Li Yi was still Sakura. As usual, she pulled down the baffle of the car after the car started.
In the back seat of the car, Li Yi sighed: "Annie, you still look at the long term. This Jeffrey is indeed a talent."
Obviously, Li Yi knew very well that if he had used threats and inducements to resolve the conflict between Jeffrey and Liu Siqin, then with Jeffrey's personality, most of them would have resigned.
This is definitely a huge loss for Li Yi and Universal Pictures!
"Dear, his ability is not limited to this. He has only shown some ability now. It is not a coincidence that he can become the most popular CEO in Hollywood." Androv smiled slightly: "In fact... with his ability, he is enough to control the aircraft carrier of Universal Pictures, but he lacks the loyalty you need most. For him, it is definitely not a problem to allow the Chinese branch to achieve the fastest development in the shortest time. We will wait and see."
Seeing the charming smile on Androv's face, Li Yi nodded with relief. He could see that the smile on Androv's face now comes from the heart, not a mechanical smile like before.
That smile is disguised...
...
Compared with Repulse Bay, Hong Kong's Mid-mountain luxury residential area is not well-known internationally, but it is extremely famous in Hong Kong. From former Chief Executive to ordinary celebrity artists, they all like to live in Mid-mountain luxury residential area.
The biggest difference between the Mid-Level Mansion Area and the Repulse Bay Rich Area is: Many older generations of wealthy people in Hong Kong like to live here, and they are older than the richest people in Hong Kong today.
Chengbi Pavilion is a very old villa in a luxury residential area in the Mid-mountain area, but it is very famous in Hong Kong, especially in the entertainment industry.
Because... Chengbi Pavilion belongs to the Red Star Society!
The Red Star Leaders of all dynasties have chosen to use Chengbi Pavilion as their residence, and Ling Yongbing is no exception.
While Li Yi took Androv and Sakura to the wealthy area of Repulse Bay, Ling Yongbing met his right-hand assistant Wu Yonghui at his residence.
Wu Yonghui is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and exudes a gentle temperament all over his body, but when he looks closely, he finds that he exudes the unique smell of a businessman.
As the head of Red Star Group, Wu Yonghui helped Ling Yongbing manage Red Star's White Road industry and is a godfather in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
Even... Many people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry say that it is entirely due to Wu Yonghui's contribution to Ling Yongbing's ability to control the Hong Kong entertainment industry for so many years.
Although there is an exaggeration in this, Wu Yonghui's ability cannot be denied, nor can he deny all the contributions Wu Yonghui has made to the Red Star Group!
Ling Yongbing sat on the sofa in the villa hall with a complicated expression. He had a cigar in his hand. Nearly one-third of the cigar had burned, but he had not been able to squirt. The ashtray on the coffee table was filled with cigarette butts, and only half of the cigarette butts were smoking. The entire villa hall was filled with smoke. People who didn't know would think a fire had occurred when they went in.
"Brother." Wu Yonghui walked into the villa hall and frowned at the smell of smoke in the room.
Hearing this familiar elder brother, Ling Yongbing flicked the ashes gently, looked up, and smiled reluctantly: "You are here, Yonghui."
"Brother, Dr. Mu has told me many times. Your lungs are very bad and you need to quit smoking." Wu Yonghui frowned.
Ling Yongbing smiled bitterly: "Yonghui, I think you are used to living a stable life and almost forgot what we do. I, Ling Yongbing, have basically lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife in my life. I am not afraid of fighting with others, and I am afraid of lung cancer?"
Ling Yongbing's words made Wu Yonghui feel a little speechless for a moment. Obviously, he could not find a reason to refute.
In response to this, Wu Yonghui had to sit on the sofa to change the topic: "Brother, it's so late, you call me over, is there anything wrong?"
Based on Wu Yonghui's understanding of Ling Yongbing, if Ling Yongbing had nothing important to do, he wouldn't have disturbed him to rest so late.
Hearing Wu Yonghui's question, Ling Yongbing slowly cut off the cigarette butts first, then sighed heavily, and said in an extremely complicated tone: "Yonghui, he is back!"
"Who?" Wu Yonghui was confused.
"You haven't read the evening news tonight?" Ling Yongbing asked back.
Wu Yonghui smiled bitterly and shook his head: "No, I went to dinner with Jiao before. Who is back?"
"Li Yi..." When he said these two words, Ling Yongbing felt a little bitter in his mouth, and his chest seemed to be pressing against a mountain, making him breathless.
In fact, he has felt this way since Universal Pictures entered Hong Kong!
Because from that day on, he realized that Li Yi would extend his magic claws to the Red Star Group...
Later, Jeffrey personally came to the door and proposed to acquire Hongxing Group at a price of 20% higher than the market value of Hongxing Group, which confirmed his speculation and also pushed him to the edge of the cliff.
Although he rejected Jeffrey's acquisition proposal for the overall interests of Hongxing and future development, he has been unable to sleep or eat for the past few days, and he lost more than a dozen kilograms of meat in more than two months!
Worried.
This is a true portrayal of Ling Yongbing’s past period.
Although Jeffrey didn't say anything after he refused to takeover, reason told him that the person behind Jeffrey would never be so easy to do so!
Today's evening news reported that Li Yi came to Hong Kong, which made Ling Yongbing's concerns rise sharply. He sat alone in the living room and thought for a night, but still did not make a decision, so he called his most trusted assistant and brother to discuss.
Last time, when Ling Yongbing gave in and agreed to let Murong Xue enter Universal Pictures, Wu Yonghui questioned Ling Yongbing.
At that time, Ling Yongbing said this to Wu Yonghui helplessly: "Yonghui, do you think I am willing to terminate the contract with Xiaoxue? Do you think I don't know the value of Xiaoxue to our Red Star? Xiaoxue can make a lot of money for us, I admit this. But Yonghui, you have to remember that many people in this world have made money but have no life. I don't want to be one of those people."
It can be said that that time, Ling Yongbing retreated and he chose to spend money to eliminate disasters.
"Have he come to Hong Kong?" Ling Yongbing's words made Wu Yonghui frown.
"Yes." Ling Yongbing nodded and said in a deep voice: "If I guessed correctly, he will take revenge on Xiao Qingshan and the Dai family this time. Of course, he will not give up on the Red Star Group until this time."
"Brother, are you worried that he will attack us?" Wu Yonghui's face became a little ugly. With Hongxing's status in the underground world of Hong Kong, no one has ever made Ling Yongbing so depressed.
Li Yi is the only exception!
And more than once...
"Well." Ling Yongbing sighed: "I know everything about Li Yi in the United States. He can have his current status step by step! He is definitely not a kind person!"
"Brother, I think you're too worried." Wu Yonghui disagreed: "I admit that everything in the United States is full of legends and awesome! But...Brother, this is Hong Kong! This is our territory! No matter how powerful he is, does it mean that he wants to play a drama of a strong dragon over a local snake? What's more, his enemies are Xiao Qingshan and the Dai family. With his IQ, he will not return to the country and establish a new enemy, right?"
"Yonghui, you are right, but... you forgot a little bit. Xiao Qingshan and I are close friends. I have attacked him with Xiao Qiang. In a sense, I am one of his enemies." Ling Yongbing's brows frowned tightly.
Wu Yonghui shook his head: "Brother, I don't think he treats us as enemies, otherwise he wouldn't have given us a compensation after Murong Xue entered Universal Pictures!"
Wu Yonghui's words made Ling Yongbing think in deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head, stared at Wu Yonghui, and said seriously: "Yonghui, you said, what should we do if he forcibly force us to give up Hongxing?"
"Brother, you know the significance of the Red Star Group to the community. Without Red Star, we will not only suffer heavy losses, but also the gray income cannot be bleached at all. This is a blow that we cannot bear! Similarly, we cannot explain to the brothers below!" Wu Yonghui said this, a gloomy gaze flashed in his eyes: "Brother, if Li Yi really wants to force us into a dead end, we will fight him to the death! I don't believe that his strong dragon can overwhelm us!!"
This time, Ling Yongbing did not make any statement. He knew that Wu Yonghui's choice was correct. In fact, if Li Yi was just the leader of the Chinese gang and was just the godfather of the American Mafia Committee, Ling Yongbing might not be afraid!
What he is really worried about is the dark organization that has set off a bloody craze in Komu and the United States!!
When he thought of the black card that symbolized death, Ling Yongbing's body would tremble uncontrollably...
"Brother, you said before, what are we doing? We are just gangsters! We have everything we have now, and we fought hard when we were young! He, Li Yi, opened his mouth and wanted to buy everything we have! How can such a good thing be in the world? I said, brother, we should not increase the momentum of the enemy and destroy our prestige. If Li Yi wants to play gangsters, we will accompany them to the end. I don't believe that we occupy the right time, place, and people, and we can't even play with his raptor crossing!" Wu Yonghui said unhappily.
Perhaps Wu Yonghui's words stimulated Ling Yongbing, or perhaps Ling Yongbing himself figured it out, he closed his eyes and let out a breath of suffocation, as if he had vomited out all the fear and worries in his heart in one breath!
Then, when he opened his eyes again, the fear in his eyes disappeared without a trace, and there was only determination!
Perhaps because of the decision, Ling Yongbing unloaded his burden and slept with a rare good night's sleep.
This was the first time in so many days that he slept so peacefully. He didn't have nightmares in the middle of the night and woke up naturally when he slept.
Without a good rest for a long time, Ling Yongbing's body reached a critical point of collapse. He slept until noon. When he opened his eyes, the sun was already hanging high.
Everyone has special habits, such as Xiao Qingshan can do boxing every morning, and has never stopped for twenty years.
Ling Yongbing also has his special habit: he runs every morning.
This is a habit he developed after becoming the leader of the Red Star Club, because he feels that his body and bones are always capital. Although he is the boss now, he cannot let his body and bones be ruined.
Although Ling Yongbing slept until noon, he got up and wore sportswear as usual, accompanied by bodyguards, and ran around the road in Taiping Mountain (Middle of the Mountain).
Fortunately, it is not hot in January, and the sunshine at noon is not very damn, so running is not a pain.
After finishing the run, Ling Yongbing took a shower first, then changed his clothes and went to the restaurant to have a meal.
The servant has prepared lunch. It is not luxurious, but it is very nutritious and well-matched.
"Master, this was discovered under your pillow when I packed the bed for you this morning." When the servant brought the rice to Ling Yongbing, she took out a golden invitation from her pocket.
Seeing the invitation in the servant's hand, Ling Yongbing frowned in confusion - he had not received the invitation at all in recent days, and even if he received the invitation, he would not put it under the pillow?
With doubts, Ling Yongbing put down the rice in his hand, took the golden invitation and opened it.
"Boss Ling, Murong Xue will hold the first New Year's concert tonight at the Red Hall Stadium. I have set up a VIP box and want to invite Boss Ling to cheer for Murong Xue with me. I hope Boss Ling will give me a look!"
