The first thing Shang Yao did after returning to China was to prepare for Shang Jingtian's funeral. However, due to weather conditions, Shang Jingtian was cremated in Tokyo. The so-called funeral ceremony is just to invite the businessman's relatives and friends before his death to have a meal and make a thank you gift.
Xiao Zheng, as the culprit, obviously would not eat this meal. He was afraid of being choked to death.
But it was only after Xiao Zheng returned to China that he truly realized Shang Jingtian's terrifying influence in the Chinese business world. His intricate network of personal connections even made Shang Yao sigh with emotion when he talked to him on the phone.
Even she, as a daughter, doesn't know, let alone outsiders
According to Shang Yao's statistics, it is just the power of middle-level connections. Even if the current business world has nothing, it can still accumulate tens of billions of wealth in three to five years. In other words, at the level of Shang Jingtian, he has no chance of returning to before liberation. The connections, relationships, and backstage in his hands are all guarantees for him to make money quickly.
On the contrary, these people did not completely break away from Shang Yao after Shang Jingtian died. After all, this new leader controls the huge wealth and resources of the Yan and Shang families. Building a good relationship with such a person will only do you harm and no good.
As we all know, Shang Yao and Xiao Zheng have a close relationship. Gaining the favor of Shang Yao also gained the favor of Xiao Zheng and even Xinao. The influence of these young people in the business world is extraordinary.
After Shang Yao's side has finished the funeral arrangements, everything will be on track. But Xiao Zheng himself was waiting for the storm to come all the time.
He knew that both the Lin family and the Zhao family were ready to make a move, waiting for the clarion call to charge.
In the evening of this day, after Xiao Zheng had dinner, Ben made an appointment with several company CEOs to have tea and discuss cooperation. An emergency call completely disrupted his plans.
The call was from Sophia.
The content of the phone call was that Gandolf and Justin were fighting.
A fight in a shopping mall cannot be a brawl between gangsters. Instead, they use money to fight wars.
"Didn't they always maintain some kind of tacit understanding? Why did they suddenly start fighting?" Xiao Zheng said with a slight frown.
"Isn't it just a big entertainment project you are doing?" Sophia said helplessly. "Linghuzhu came to New York to interview Gangandofu before. Both parties were very interested in it. And according to the gossip I heard, Justin also met Linghuzhu secretly. As for what they talked about, I also Not sure."
"Is there such a thing?" Xiao Zheng was quite unhappy.
Although Linghuzhu single-handedly runs the Great Entertainment, Xiao Zheng and Shang Yao have put in a lot of efforts in terms of channel resources and even funds.
Without the support of these two major sources of support, Linghuzhu would not have been able to get this project off the ground. On the contrary, even Gandolf has supported a considerable amount of funds through his son Donnie. Considered one of the shareholders. It was completely reasonable for them to meet.
But what's going on with Justin
Moreover, when meeting with a big boss like Justin, Linghuzhu should communicate with him no matter what, right? Is it possible that Linghuzhu wants to start a Yiyantang
Xiao Zheng shook his head, pursed his lips and asked, "First tell me how those two big guys started fighting?"
"Didn't Gandolf already cooperate with your big entertainment project?" Sophia paused and continued. "I heard that Justin also had this idea, and had even started to make preliminary preparations. Later, they both argued about the matter at a business meeting. Gandolf was naturally inclined towards your big entertainment company. As for Justin, I want to make a big entertainment business by myself. Originally, it didn’t matter. I have my own investment strategy and no one can control anyone else. But then Justin actually slapped Gandolf with a big label—"
"What hat?" Xiao Zheng asked with narrowed eyes.
"Justin said Gandolf was assisting Linghu Entertainment in engaging in cultural aggression." Sophia said slowly. "He also said he would talk to members of Congress about the matter."
"Is this Justin making a fuss out of a molehill?" Xiao Zheng said with a frown.
With Justin’s information channels, it’s impossible not to know that Linghu Entertainment has his backing, right? But if he still does this, is he too disrespectful to himself
"Actually, it's not a big deal." Sophia explained. "Not to mention other things, China alone is also restricting various entertainment products in the United States to a great extent. Take movies as an example. Your relevant units have many policy protections in this regard and try their best to protect the United States. Is it going to be promoted to an unpopular period?"
Xiao Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this and said, "Indeed, there are still some precautions between countries."
"So, if Justin does this, it won't go too far. What's more, this itself is a means of Justin's struggle. Dawen Entertainment is a fat man. How can he not be anxious when he sees Gandolf taking the lead?" Sophia said. "Since it's too late now, it will definitely disgust the development of big entertainment projects in North America. And by doing this, he also means surrendering to the White House. He kills two birds with one stone."
Xiao Zheng nodded to express his understanding. After giving Sophia a few more instructions, he hung up the phone.
As a businessman, just talk about business. Even the best friendship may not be able to hold on when faced with huge interests. What's more, he and Justin had only discussed business a few times, and they were not even friends. How could he expect Justin to turn to him in everything
Even what Gandolf did was just a matter of taking sides. It's not that Xiao Zheng's friendship is regarded as something that cannot be blasphemed.
After hanging up the phone, a cold light flashed slightly in Xiao Zheng's eyes.
The last time because Shang Yao decided to divest, Linghu Zhu's performance was quite disappointing. There is no gentlemanly style. This time, he hoped that Linghuzhu could give him a good explanation.
Otherwise, he would no longer regard Linghuzhu as one of his own, but as a pure interest partner.
Ding ding.
The call was answered quickly.
Ling Huzhu's hearty voice sounded on the other side of the phone: "Boss Xiao, do you want to drink again?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and asked, "Are you still busy?"
"I'm done. I just got off work and was going to an appointment." Linghuzhu seemed to be in the car and could hear the noisy traffic.
"If you can, just push it. I want to talk to you about something." Unconsciously, Xiao Zheng adopted the tone of the head of Xinao.
Perhaps hearing the unkindness in Xiao Zheng's tone, Linghu Zhu said hurriedly: "What's the matter? Okay, I'll come find you in a minute."
After hanging up the phone, Linghuzhu, who was sitting at home, turned off the TV with the volume turned up, with a rather sarcastic look on his face: "Do you really think you are the big brother?"
