Although Zhang San patted his chest and said that nothing was wrong, it was a matter of life and death after all. When Xia Xu came out of the police station, it was already noon the next day.
Fortunately, the matter did not cause much trouble. As a victim of assassination, he naturally did not need to take any responsibility.
As for the Miao Dao and recurve bow, Zhang Qun and his team had helped him get the permits for possession of them as early as the last time they went to Decheng. Now, as long as he didn't mind the trouble of explaining, it would not be a problem for him to carry them on the high-speed rail. After all, he was involved in various special dangerous incidents, so the special department had reason to explain that he carried weapons for self-defense.
In addition, some licenses that seem unrealistic in China actually exist, such as licenses for domesticating wild protected animals, special breeding licenses, and licenses for carrying knives and guns. These are all readily available, and in theory, ordinary people can apply for them.
Of course, the actual situation will depend on the circumstances and will also be subject to limitations.
For example, regarding gun licenses, in fact, with a little research, you will find that there are actually gun clubs and wild hunting grounds open to the public in the country. In some remote areas, guns are also allowed to be carried to deal with wild boars and wolves. However, gun licenses will only be issued to organized groups. They can be issued to companies or groups, but not to individuals.
With this relationship with the special department, Xia Xu can naturally be counted as within the scope of "flexible judgment". If he doesn't mind the trouble, it is not impossible to obtain a gun license by using a similar company name.
But compared to this, what he is eyeing is actually something more advanced, the qualifications of military-industrial enterprises.
As a military-industrial enterprise and equipment supplier for special departments, it should be reasonable for me to carry some guns and weapons with me, and privately build some planes and tanks for research, right
Let’s get back to the topic.
After the incident with Xia Xu, Griffin Jones was naturally invited to the police station for tea. Although no direct evidence has been obtained so far, he will definitely not be able to come out for a while.
As for the outside world, Chen Leyao, who had prepared in advance under his instructions, had already contacted various media relations, and press releases were sent out in large numbers that evening.
《Shocked! The young boss of a venture capital company, a well-known emerging enterprise in the city, was arrested for suspected murder!》
"Shocking news! The conspiracy failed and hired a killer to kill. The grievances and hatreds between Tianshen Investment and Xinghai Venture Capital are detailed!"
"A genius who is no less talented than the boss of Xinghai Venture Capital has stepped into the public eye, digging into the rise of Griffin Jones and Tianshen Investment. "
"The Loser's Counterattack? A down-and-out foreign teacher suddenly realized something overnight, and in a short period of time, he made nearly 10 million yuan, founded a company from scratch, and mastered countless professional skills by self-study. "
A series of beautiful press releases were released, some of which slightly touched upon the topic and brought some popularity to Xinghai Venture Capital, but most of the content was devoted to another emerging company that was originally ignored by many people.
God investment!
As a company founded almost at the same time as Xinghai Venture Capital, this company has always been overshadowed by the brilliant halo of Xinghai Venture Capital.
But if we put aside Xinghai Venture Capital, at any time period, Tianshen Investment can definitely be called a shining new star in the financial investment world.
Because of this press release, and because of their failed attempt to plot against Xinghai Venture Capital in business and their subsequent attempt to hire someone to kill them, Tianshen Investment and its boss Griffin Jones have finally broken free from the shadow of Xinghai Venture Capital and have completely stepped into the public eye.
However, neither these press releases nor the onlookers actually dwelled too much on Griffin Jones' "crimes". After all, the former can only be regarded as immoral business operations, and the latter is only suspicion and rumor for the time being, not solid evidence.
With a little bit of intentional guidance, most people's attention was focused on Griffin Jones, the "genius entrepreneur" who emerged out of nowhere, and on his counterattack life like a movie protagonist.
He dropped out of school early and traveled across the ocean to work as a foreign teacher in Xia Country. He spent the first half of his life in a daze and was penniless.
A few months ago, he had an epiphany and worked hard to teach himself a series of professional skills such as finance, programming, management, and medicine, and started Tianshen Investment Company from scratch.
In terms of capital and size, Tianshen Investment founded by Griffin Jones naturally pales in comparison to the more miraculous Xinghai Venture Capital and Xia Xueshen, but a closer look reveals that this is not the case.
Although Xia Xu, the "Xia Xue Shen", also started from scratch, the core part of his experience can actually be explained by luck.
After all, he only spent 500,000 yuan to invest in a game studio, and the game unexpectedly became a hit. He then made tens of millions of yuan and established Xinghai Venture Capital. The investment work was handed over to hired professionals, and as a boss, he no longer had any impressive operations.
But it is not the case with Griffin Jones. He truly started from scratch, learned various professional skills from scratch, and made his mark in the stock market and futures through one investment and transaction after another. This is a thorough reflection of his strength and talent.
Of course, some people noticed something wrong in these news.
"Good fellow, you're praising a foreign murderer like that? I have every reason to doubt my ass."
"Haha, is this Tianshen Investment deliberately manipulating public opinion? Trying to whitewash and pressure others in this way? Only the wise ones like you are still following suit."
"If you don't like to use your brain, just be a bystander and watch the show. Don't stand here and there all day long. A suspect who was just suspected of hiring a murderer turns around and sells a genius persona. Isn't that obvious enough?"
"Genius? I'm dying of laughter. You're not qualified to be called such? You believe everything you hear. So now you only see Griffin Jones starting from scratch through investment. Have you forgotten that he was firmly suppressed by Xinghai Venture Capital? Speaking of genius, Xia Xueba is the only top scorer in the college entrance examination with a perfect score in history. Isn't that more valuable than his boasted self-taught professional skills?"
Where there are people, there are controversies. Naturally, there are people who have discovered suspicious points in these press releases, suspecting that Griffin Jones deliberately bought the press releases to whitewash himself and sell his genius persona to exert public pressure.
After all, the timing was too coincidental. They didn't blow the whistle earlier or later, but just when the news of the conspiracy against Xinghai Venture Capital and the murder for hire was exposed, and attracted a group of people to follow suit. Anyone who is willing to use his brain will definitely have such thoughts.
Of course, there are always only a very small number of people who are willing to use their brains. Most people do not think for themselves when faced with this kind of public opinion manipulation. They either just watch and watch as it has nothing to do with them, or they just believe whatever the public opinion says.
Naturally, no one would have thought that this seemingly flattering press release was actually full of murderous intent against Griffin Jones.
Praise to death!
It is not about praising it high and then dropping it, but about bringing it into the public eye and, by the way, bringing it into the sight of certain people with ulterior motives.
These press releases publicize Griffin Jones' crimes while publishing statements that brag about and whitewash Griffin Jones. Anyone who knows a little about communication would think that this is an attempt to create confrontation between the camps and stir up controversy.
But in fact, only those who know the inside story can understand the deeper meaning hidden in it.
All the articles praising Griffin Jones are digging into his history of success, especially a certain piece of information that is not obvious but actually deliberately highlighted under the halo of Griffin Jones's counterattack a few months ago - Griffin Jones' previous work address.
Griffin Jones was a foreign teacher hired by a cram school before all this happened.
And that cram school was right next to the square where he had taken the super brain potion!
