Chapter 169 Countermeasures
Chapter 169 [Response Strategy] "From the first time I saw Gao Qi, I clearly felt the danger!" I still leaned on the sofa and looked at the ceiling... Yes, no one knows that feeling better than myself.
It's like two beasts in the jungle encountering each other! In such a moment, the keen feeling that I exercised from countless times on the edge of life and death clearly felt Gao Qi's body. His expression - especially in his eyes, the breath that I had to face... quickly! I don't know how to describe this feeling, and I even have a very ridiculous conjecture: if, if I'm just an ordinary investment businessman, a traditional businessman, there is no film company with no underworld background.
So, even Gao Qi won't provoke me this time! Although the income of a movie is calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars, there is really no need for the Ganbino family to come to me as a popular American idol because of this little money.
If they are smart, even if they trouble me, they should wait for my limelight to pass later! I deeply feel that the reason why Robert Gouch targeted me so much that he gave me no room for manoeuvre and forced me to take a stand... Basically, it was a kind of "same-sex repulsion"! There is only one reason why he is in such a hurry to come to me: I and he are the same! We are all gangsters! Everyone knows that Hollywood's film industry is not pure and clean, and there are money launders in it.
There are also people here to raise political contributions, and various organizations come here to make money... But, there is only one! Before I came here, the only one with a gangster background and controlled the film company in Hollywood! Only the mafia!! I guess it's not that other gangs in the United States don't know that the film industry makes money, and it's not that they are not jealous of this industry... But, under the mafia's ** power, no one dares to come here to grab territory!! But now, I just broke this rule.
I, an outsider, a Chinese, and a gang leader from Canada, came here with a deep background and a large amount of money! Entering the film industry... Can the mafia allow other underworld forces other than themselves to intervene in their ban? This question is easy to answer.
Because I have thought about it, even if it were me, I would never allow anyone to put their claws on my plate!" Yang Wei, I suddenly felt that we had been fooled by old Solin.
I smiled bitterly and threw away my cigarette butt.
Holding his head in both hands: "Don't the old Solin know that the film company can make money? But you see, he easily threw the film company to us. What does that mean? So, I guess it's not that old Solin doesn't want to use movies to make money or launder money.
I'm afraid that after buying this company, he also suffered some of the mafia, and then swallowed his anger. Finally, after measuring, he threw this burden on us.
Hey hey!" At the other end of the phone, Yang Wei was silent for a long time. It seemed that she was also reflecting.
Yang Wei is indeed smart and does have a mind that ordinary people can't reach - but after all, she is not omnipotent, and she also has times to make mistakes.
And this time, old Solin so easily threw this film company to me as a condition in exchange, but we didn't think deeply.
Finally, her voice came from Yang Wei's other side again: "When did you figure this out?" Before going to Gaoqi's manor.
I said lightly and expressionless: "After receiving Gao Qi's invitation, I began to be a little confused.
Then I thought for a long time in the office, and finally I boldly assumed a result, that is... Gao Qi is on top of us, and he doesn't just want to make some benefits, but wants to swallow us up or kick us out of Hollywood.
It's actually very simple to come to this conclusion. I asked myself two questions.
"Oh?" Yes, the first question: If I have penetrated into a very profitable industry, although I only control a small part of the industry.
But in this case, will I allow people with the same background as me to come in and share this cake? I smiled and said, "The answer is, no! What does Gao Qi rely on when he is in Hollywood? It's not technology, it's not talent, let alone strong funds... He relies on the word 'black'! Because he is the godfather of the mafia! He is the leader of the gang! These are his greatest advantages! Moreover, through his painstaking management, in Hollywood, the gangster film company is the only one! That is to say, his advantage is unique! But once he let me in, then his 'black' advantage is no longer the only one! Because I also have a gangster background, and even caused such a big disturbance in Hollywood! With so many connections... If I let it go, there is no doubt that Gao Qi will feel threatened! His purpose is simple: he wants to be the only gangster godfather in Hollywood!" ...And more?" Yang Wei's voice sounds very complicated.
"And... I asked myself the second question, that is: with Gao Qi's current power, even if we don't enter, he can't swallow Hollywood alone. He can just have a small piece of cake.
In this case, is it necessary for him to reject me so crazily? And my answer is: Yes! Because if it were me, if I was eating cake, although I was just eating a small piece, and there was a large piece in front of me.
But I can at least eat slowly. Eat a little today and eat a little tomorrow.
Although I know I will never finish it... I don't want to put the whole cake in front of myself, within my own control! And I will never let other people's claws reach in front of me!" Then I smiled bitterly: "In essence, Gao Qi and I are actually of the same kind.
If we change our position today, I am already based in Hollywood, and Gao Qi is a newcomer, I will find a way to kick him out!" Yang Wei whispered, "So, your contradiction is not a matter of sharing benefits... but that one side should completely drive out one side! Such contradictions cannot be reconciled, and it is impossible to compromise.
"Yes!" I nodded: "Unless I'm willing to give up everything I've already put together here now, and then roll up the bedding and go back to Vancouver, because that's what Gao Qi wants."
When a male lion occupies a piece of territory, there are antelopes, zebras, and all kinds of food in its territory. Even if it can't finish it, it will continue to guard its territory and eat slowly! At this time, when another young and slightly weaker lion enters its territory, will it tolerate it? Never! " That's why you are so tough in the face of Gao Qi.
Yang Wei seemed to be sighing.
I smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what do you think I'm for? Gao Qi's power, Besolin, is much stronger than your uncle! But in the face of Solin and your uncle, I can swallow my anger and compromise.
Why do I have to shake Gao Qi? Is there something wrong with my brain? Hey hey! It's really because of whether it's Solin or your uncle, what I asked for was only part of the benefits, which I can accept.
But Gao Qi, it's different.
"...It seems that you understand it very well.
So what to do next? Do you have any plans?" No."
I simply said, "I can figure out a lot of things, but I'm not the one who can give advice.
Weiwei, that's why I called you. I need your wisdom.
[Heaven's Kiss] ***** After a long talk on the phone for a night, the result of my discussion with Yang Wei was: adjust our previous strategy immediately! Because of Yang Wei's miscalculation, we did not consider or omit the problem of the mafia, so our current strategy that makes me turn to a low profile needs to be adjusted! The only thing I can rely on is my fame! Without my current reputation, if I were just the owner of a small film company, then even if Gao Qi sent someone to beat me to death on the street, it would be just the page of the last social newspaper.
And my only amulet is my fame! With my current reputation, if I suddenly die or something unexpected happens, I'm afraid it will immediately make a sensation in the United States! At that time, even if you want to suppress it, you can't suppress it! Therefore, the higher I adjust now, the safer I will be! A day later, after another business talk, I attended the opening of Billy Hill's first film peripheral product store on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Because of my popularity, a total of six Hollywood stars were present, attracting many reporters.
And no one knows, in fact, I deliberately moved this speech in advance! Because according to the original plan, the store should not open until half a month later.
Subsequently, I attended a movie party event, where I printed my palm prints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of dozens of media.
With me, there was Lei Xiaohu, a recognized future action star.
Then, in the name of Billy Hill Film Company, I donated one million dollars to the Los Angeles police, in nominal thanks to the Los Angeles police for their excellent performance in the hostage incident.
Later, several Hollywood stars also responded to my move and donated money of varying value.
A series of exposures have kept my popularity at a high level.
I continued to appear in various media, which was very popular for a while.
And behind it, Gao Qi was finally not idle.
