Qiao Qiao's father smiled like an old fox at the moment. He squinted his eyes and looked at me, with light shining from the slits in his eyes from time to time.
I didn't speak, I pretended to be calm, but deliberately took out my jacket pocket with slow movements.
I deliberately dawdled for a long time, but pretended to touch the pockets of my jacket all over, but I just didn’t answer his question. Then, when I touched the pockets of my trousers all the way, Jojo’s father finally got a little impatient, and he threw it out. A pack of cigarettes arrives on the table.
"Draw this."
I took a look and shook my head: "I don't smoke mixed cigarettes, do you have flue-cured cigarettes?"
"Hmph!" Qiao Qiao's father waved his hand, and soon a service staff came up to deliver a pack of cigarettes.
"Boy, don't delay." He looked at me: "Is this question difficult to answer? Hmph... Do you need to think for a long time?"
"No, it's actually not difficult to answer." I lit a cigarette and smiled: "You don't even have to think about this question, I can answer you directly... But I deliberately didn't speak just now, in fact I was thinking..."
"Think about what?"
I sighed: "Think about how to say it so that you won't be too angry."
Qiao Qiao's father's face froze for a moment, and he sank his face: "What? Do you want to reject me?"
"Sorry." I shrugged my shoulders: "This question is not negotiable."
Seeing Qiao Qiao's father go crazy, I quickly explained: "First of all, this company is not mine, it is Fang Nan's. I am not qualified to make decisions on her behalf."
"Hmph, don't play tricks with me!" Qiao Qiao's father said displeasedly: "Fang Nan's meaning is very clear, she wants to transfer the company to you... As long as you are willing to withdraw, I can take over the company smoothly."
"It still doesn't work." I shook my head: "I can't answer this question for you, I'm not qualified to answer it."
This issue is also not negotiable.
The reason is simple... If Fang Nan really wants to give me the company... In this case, if I agree to Qiao Qiao's father again, wouldn't I make Fang Nan sad... and let her down
From any standpoint, I can't do that.
As for Jojo's father...
well!
I sigh.
In fact, in my heart, I really want to do something for Qiao Qiao's father. No matter what, the relationship between me and Qiao Qiao has been clarified, so I have to respect Qiao Qiao's father and treat him as an elder, even... yes... he can almost be regarded as my old Taishan. Like all the son-in-laws in the world, I really hope to please him and do something to make him happy...
What's more, the relationship between me and Qiao Qiao is still a little unreasonable. I also want to do what I can to make up for it.
But the request made by Qiao Qiao's father... has something to do with Fang Nan.
It's not about one company...and it's not about the money.
This company represents Fang Nan's heart and affection! These are priceless! Can the heart and affection be transferred
Obviously not!
"You are challenging my bottom line." Qiao Qiao's father looked a little unhappy, and he said slowly: "My daughter was abducted by you, and you also meddled in the business field! Hehe! I, Qiao, have been doing it all my life Business, I have never seen such a domineering junior like you."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao." I tried my best to say in a sincere tone: "I still respect you very much, but it's just your request, and I have no right to decide." After a pause, I slowly said: "I know that in Qiao Qiao On the issue, it is my fault... If I can, I am willing to do anything to make up for it, of course, it must be within the scope of my authority and ability. Anything."
"Oh..." Hearing what I said, Qiao Qiao's father's face softened slightly, and he looked at me for a while: "Okay... If this is the case, we can continue to talk... about the ownership of the company, hehe... If this company can't Discuss, then we have other ways to come... When you talk about compensation, hehe... There are many ways to cooperate, such as investment, equity participation, etc. "
I thought about it for a while: "Can you tell me why you think so much about Zhong Fangnan's company? Although Deep Blue Entertainment is not small and influential, it doesn't seem to be important enough for you to win it, right? Although I don't know much about your business, I also know that before this, your industry didn't seem to involve the entertainment industry."
Qiao Qiao's father thought for a while, and then slowly uttered two words: "Media."
"What?"
"If Deep Blue Entertainment is in the hands of others, such as you, you can use it to make money at most, or cooperate with your American film company, invest in film and television or domestic entertainment circles, and become an entertainment company... Even if it develops well, At most, you can build a large domestic entertainment company. But if I get this company, it will be different... Let’s put it this way, I am going to invest in media.”
I froze.
Qiao Qiao's father sneered: "Why, are you surprised?"
"One thing." I said with a wry smile: "As far as I know, domestic law regulates news, and media platforms are rarely open to individuals. Whether it is newspapers, TV, or even radio, there are absolutely no private ones! Now the domestic The so-called media companies actually produce their own TV programs, and then find some TV stations to sell the programs. That is to say, the platforms belong to the country, whether it is newspapers or TV, these are all the country’s, and absolutely will not Private and open! Those private media companies are small businesses. If the programs they produce are rejected by the TV station, they will lose all their money, and there are many restrictions... So, opening a media company in China is simply a joke The country does not allow private owners of platforms such as TV stations or newspapers. Without a platform, it cannot be called a 'media company' in the true sense!"
Qiao Qiao's father didn't speak, just smiled lightly.
He smiled as if it was unfathomable, which made my heart move... Could it be that this old fox is so powerful that he can break the monopoly of the public opinion platform by the state
But when I think about it again, this is absolutely impossible! In China, it is absolutely impossible for the state to allow the existence of private TV stations, radio stations or newspapers! The laws of our country clearly state that the news media exists as the tongue of the country!
Even though the economy has been opened up over the years, it is impossible to easily delegate the control of public opinion to private management!
In recent years, some media organizations have been corporatized, such as the "XX Provincial Radio and Television Group" established in many provinces in China, but these media companies are also state-owned. In fact, they are the TV stations and radio stations under the jurisdiction of the province. etc. are combined under the name of a company, but the company still belongs to the country.
Even if Qiao Qiao's father had a background, he probably didn't have the supernatural powers to break the ice!
"Boy, don't think about it." Qiao Qiao's father said slowly: "Well, I can't tell you the specific things before we have a good discussion about the company's ownership. But we can discuss this matter carefully. Let's talk. Fang Nan's company is the best "shell" in my opinion. Fang Nan's ability is pretty good. After so many years of operation, this company is now comparable in terms of network and company channels. It has been perfected, and it meets my requirements very well. So, I still hope... "
I don't speak, just look at him.
At this moment, I suddenly heard the voice of distant voices coming from outside the box.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a conversation between a man and a woman, followed by the sound of noisy footsteps.
This business and leisure place, which was originally quite quiet, was suddenly spoiled by these noisy people.
Jojo's father and I frowned at the same time, both felt that the atmosphere was interrupted and felt a little unhappy.
The box is open. Sitting in my position, it happens to be facing the outside, so I can clearly see what's going on outside.
At the door of a box about 20 meters away from us, stood a big man. This big man was wearing a suit, but he could clearly see a tattoo on his neck. Judging from the figure, this man was very strong and strong. , followed by a group of people who looked like younger brothers, although all of them were wearing western yellow, they didn't look like good people at all.
This big man led a group of people to block the door of a box, but he heard a woman's angry voice from inside: "Shen Shan, you really tore your face, and you really don't care about any feelings at all!" Already!"
This woman's voice fell into my ears, and it immediately moved my heart! Because this voice is very familiar!
Even in a bit of anger, it seems that the speaker still has a bit of calmness and composure...
Well, how should I put it. This kind of anger is definitely not the kind of panic that makes people blush when they argue... but... Even if such a person is angry, it is as if a master is angry at a disobedient slave. Even if he is angry, he still has the airs and posture of a superior.
The big man at the door was facing us sideways. From the side view, his expression was very indifferent: "You don't need to say the word qingmian... It's still the same sentence. At this moment, I don't care about affection." .There is no love in the world that is worthy of my Shen Shan's life for it! You can't do it, and the one behind you is even less worthy! Nian is from the same line before, I just send you back, if you can still understand What it means is, let's go!"
The woman's voice questioned lightly: "Shen Shan, you dare to do something to me, um, you brought so many people here, are you threatening me?"
"Don't dare." The man named Shen Shan didn't change his face: "I, Shen Shan, came out to hang out. My face was given by my friends, and my status was given to me by my brothers! What I am facing now is not a small problem, but my wealth and life. Of course I want to take care of my brothers! I brought so many people here just to let everyone know my Shen Shan attitude!"
The woman stopped talking.
Seeing the confrontation inside and outside the box, the service personnel in the business center were stunned for a long time. Such a group of men who don't look like good people are blocking here, how can the people in the business center dare to stop them? The security guards of the hotel also came, but they stood outside, not daring to come in... Looking at the shrinking eyes of those security guards, it seemed that they were very afraid of this man named Shen Shan.
When Qiao Qiao's father and I saw this, my heart was full of doubts, just because I heard the woman's voice inside, which was vaguely familiar.
In my impression, the person who can maintain such airs and composure even when he gets angry is naturally the calm and rational Yang Wei. But this woman is obviously not Yang Wei, her voice sounds a little hoarse than Yang Wei's, and it seems that it is far from Yang Wei's imposing manner that the mountains collapse in front of her eyes without changing her face, and she still lacks a bit.
Just when I was thinking wildly, Qiao Qiao's father had already waved his hand, and one of his subordinates standing in the box outside the door immediately walked over and bent down: "Boss."
Qiao Qiao's father said indifferently: "Go over and tell Shen Shan that I'm here to discuss things with my friends. If he has anything to do, go outside to solve it!"
"yes!"
This subordinate of Qiao Qiao's father walked over immediately, before getting close to the man named Shen Shan, he was stopped by a group of younger brothers behind him. After talking for a while, the younger brothers asked this subordinate to walk to Shen Shan's side with suspicious eyes, and then whispered a few words to Shen Shan.
The big man named Shen Shan seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and following the whisper, he turned around and looked towards us. When he saw the box here, and saw that Qiao Qiao's father and I were sitting face to face, he immediately smiled. Then he immediately left the people in the box alone and strode towards us.
Shen Shan walked to the door of our box, but he didn't even dare to come in. He stood outside and bowed his body: "Old Mr. Qiao... I'm sorry, Xiao Shan didn't know you were here too. I interrupted you talking about things with your friends It's gone. I'll take people away immediately!"
Looking at this big man named Shen Shan from a close distance, one can see that he is only forty years old, with a square face and ordinary appearance, but there is a bit of toughness in his eyes. The suits are all famous brands, but the shirts The tattoos protruding from the collar are really eye-catching. His attitude towards Qiao Qiao's father is respectful, Qiao Qiao's father just leaned on the sofa, glanced at him casually, and said "um" in his nose before slowly saying: "Okay, let's do it like this .”
After a pause, he added another sentence: "You, Shen Shan, have reached a certain status. In the future, remember that in such a high-end place, it is better to restrain yourself. From now on, pay attention to your own identity. You first let your people Go out, and then you come back, I have something to ask you."
The man named Shen Shan didn't even have the slightest intention to refute this rebuke, he nodded repeatedly, and after going out, he didn't care about anything, and immediately led others out.
Taking advantage of Shen Shan's departure, I glanced suspiciously at the box that was blocked by these people just now, and frowned: "Who is this Shen Shan?"
"Who?" Qiao Qiao's father smiled: "I'm walking with you, the underworld."
"oh?"
"Yeah." Qiao Qiao's father smiled and looked at me with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes: "Qinghong's power is in Shanghai, and Shen Shan can at least be a third-party family. It can be regarded as Qinghong's power in the Shanghai area. One of the leaders. It’s just that I have a good relationship with some old people in Qinghong, and he respects me very much.”
Qinghong
I frowned slightly!
But suddenly, my heart moved! Can't help but look at that box again! This time, I finally remembered who the talking woman in the box was!
A few minutes later, that Shen Shan came back, but it seemed that he tidied up his appearance, buttoned up his shirt, and tidied his suit a lot. He walked into our box carefully, and looked at Qiao Qiao's He glanced at his father, and waited until Qiao Qiao's father raised his finger and pointed to an empty chair in front of him, then he sat down half of his buttocks carefully.
"What happened just now?" Qiao Qiao's father said indifferently: "You are so old now, and you are so careless in how you do things? This is a five-star hotel! People who can be in this kind of occasion, maybe they will You meet some characters that you can't afford to mess with! How dare you bring a group of people here to put on a show! If you meet some people with strong status and background who don't like you and want to mess with you, you can't afford to go around! You Do you think this is a small restaurant by the side of the road, where you can show your prestige casually?"
"Don't dare! Don't care!" Shen Shan nodded repeatedly.
"What's going on? You, Boss Shen, have been alarmed to bring someone here in person?" Qiao Qiao's father asked as if nothing had happened, but I noticed that he glanced at me as if intentionally or unintentionally.
I suddenly understood in my heart!
Qiao Qiao's father, this is actually asking for me!
He is Miss Qiao Qiao's biological father, of course he knows the grudge between me and Qing Hong!
"Don't call me that! Mr. Qiao, you'd better call me Xiaoshan." The man smiled wryly: "Boss Shen, that's called by outsiders. You call me that, but it shortens my life." He said Here, he sighed: "Oh, it was fine, but calling this woman almost hurt me! Hmph..." He was about to continue, but he glanced at me and closed his mouth.
"It's okay, this is one of my own nephews." Qiao Qiao's father dispelled his worries with one sentence.
"Yes! Originally, there is nothing to hide. Now the city is full of trouble!" Chen Shan sighed, and couldn't help showing a bit of rough temperament, a subconscious move seemed to want to raise his legs, but Suddenly seeing the look in Qiao Qiao's father's eyes, he quickly put his legs flat, and then continued: "Have you heard about the recent disturbances under Qinghong's sect?"
"Yeah. I heard a little bit."
"Hey! I don't know what kind of evil I encountered." Shen Shan shook his head, with a bitter look on his face: "I'm caught in the crack of the door now, and I'm in a bad situation. Originally, you know the power of our Qinghong, Everyone has this big signboard handed down from their ancestors on their heads, but for so many years, it has always been three prefixes and three big clubs. Originally, we in Jiangsu and Zhejiang all belonged to the big bosses with the initials of renown. Well, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are close, but there is a city of Shanghai in the middle. It is reasonable that Shanghai is located in the middle of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it should belong to the owner of the initials. But you also know that Shanghai is such a big place Fat meat, in such a big and bustling Shanghai, how can we easily let a family sit? So our Qinghong in Shanghai has always been divided into three parts. The business is handled here. Over the years, although they occasionally fought with each other, they were all descended from Qinghong's lineage. Even if there was a small friction between each other, there was still some affection. Everyone Brother Sect, I just hit my left hand with my right hand, nothing to start with, so it's safe and sound."
"That's right, in this place of Shanghai, you, Shen Shan, have now become the shopkeeper with the initials, what else can make it difficult for you?" Qiao Qiao's father smiled.
"That's not it!" Shen Shan slapped his thigh, and couldn't help showing a bit of anger: "It's that old red guy Ye Huan!!!"
When I heard the name "Ye Huan", my heart skipped a beat!
Qiao Qiao's father smiled and said nothing, but Shen Shan's face sank: "Ye Huan is rebellious!"
"Reverse?" Qiao Qiao's father smiled: "Reverse what?"
"Damn it!" Shen Shan gritted his teeth: "It's also me, Shen Shan, who lost his eyes! Back then, I actually exchanged posts with this guy and worshiped my brother! Now I'm ashamed! It's really yellow mud falling into the crotch, it's either shit or shit Yes! Ye Huan doesn’t know how it happened, he was originally in Nanjing, and he was in charge of the entire Qinghong Jiangsu Gang. The big boss with the initials made him the chief shopkeeper of the Jiangsu Gang. Yes! But this old boy suddenly turned around a few days ago. I heard that for some reason, it seems that the boss with the initials was about to withdraw him, but the person sent to Nanjing was actually detained by Ye Huan! Damn, this guy has grown hair on his guts! He dares to do this kind of thing. I heard that the big boss sent three batches of people, and he even withheld three batches! He just refused to hand over the power! Now it is clear that it is going to be reversed The owner has become self-reliant!"
After a pause, Shen Shan couldn't help but sigh: "But Ye Huan is indeed capable. Hearing that he made a fuss, the entire Jiangsu gang exploded! Nanjing is his lair, and he dared to turn his back on him! A week I heard that seven or eight corpses were fished up from the Qinhuai River! Several bosses who were willing to rebel with him were all killed by him. And the sub-treasurer in Suzhou was beaten to death in his mistress' house The guy from Changzhou was the quickest to see things happen. Ye Huan sent someone to leave a bullet on his bed at night without anyone noticing, and that guy simply packed up and ran away. In the end, Ye Huan only sent a few people, I successfully took over a piece of land in Changzhou! No, after more than a month, half of the land in Jiangsu has now stopped listening to the orders of the big boss, and has changed their surnames to Ye!"
