Chapter 595 Conspiracy (please collect, recommend and vote, please vote monthly)
At the Capitol in Washington, DC, Montana Senator Charles Mitchum was talking to a tall black man, "Colonel Johnson, we all know we can't let this man speak. Your people are too dirty."
“Yes, Senator, I understand,” Isaac Johnson replied succinctly. “We have a perfect plan and we will never give the Lord Xiaoxun a chance to speak.”
Johnson turned to look at the news report on the TV, which was reporting the upcoming meeting between Grand Commander James Sawyer and the Archbishop. "Is there any less likely way to arouse suspicion than to die next to the president?"
"You mean..." the senator understood immediately, looked at Johnson and smiled, "You know, I always said that I made the right choice to find you."
Isaac Johnson also laughed, "I have found a suitable sniper, but now I still lack someone who can take the blame."
“Do you have anyone chosen?”
"Yes", Johnson took out a piece of information, "Former Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant E-7 rank, Bob Lee Swager"
Isaac Johnson's occupation is actually similar to that of Xu Chuan. He is also a PMC contractor, but this guy is very in-depth and can take on any dirty work.
Five years ago, he was employed by an energy company in Eritrea, Africa, and slaughtered a local village that did not want to be relocated because of the oil pipeline. As a result, they were hunted down by the local army. Swager and his comrade Downey received the call. The boss ordered to cover the evacuation of this group of PMCs.
The backup promised by the boss was nothing at all, and Downey died in the process.
Not long after Swager escaped the pursuit of the local army and returned to the army, the superior officer who sent them on the mission disappeared. After that, Swager applied for retirement.
He came to work in Umbrella after being introduced by Michael. They were both from Ma Run and had served together.
Later, Birkhoff used technical means to modify Swager's information, which made Johnson unaware that he and Swager had ever interacted.
Compared to the white house, the Capitol is actually the center of power in the United States. While the two of them were conspiring, the same thing was happening in another room almost at the same time.
“It seems that Charles is getting anxious.”
“Just like we thought, that Isaac Johnson was going to kill the President during his speech.”
“By then we just need to make some small moves, and Percy should be ready.”
“Of course, good luck to Sawyer, there will be one more assassinated President-General in American history.”
It seems that the assassination plan against Chief James Sawyer has not stopped.
Of course, our Young Master Xu is not clear about all this. He is reviewing the financial statements for the past six months with Marian Chapman, and he is in a state of confusion.
Those professional words you translate into Chinese may not be understood by him, let alone the abbreviations in English, which is really annoying.
Of course Umbrella has dedicated people to handle these things, but it’s not easy for the big boss to come here once, and Marian of course has to show him his performance. Xu Chuan wanted to say, "Boss, I'm not an accountant." However, as a boss, you can't overly discourage the other person's enthusiasm, and you still need to encourage work enthusiasm.
So he could only pretend and say a few words like "very good, very good".
The two talked about Sheila's movie, and Marian shrugged, "That movie is over. The plot might have been okay ten years ago, but now it's almost as cliched as my age."
Sure enough, this guy knew the situation of this movie very well, and the reason for the investment was almost as Xu Chuan thought.
"Sela has no good choice. Although she is very popular in the music industry, good scripts are unlikely to come to her." In the United States, singers are actually easier to become famous than actors and make more money. Even if they only release one album a year, they still can't get it. It can be interspersed with some singles, and there are more stages and music charts.
The production cycle of film and television dramas is long. An actor has fewer dramas to be broadcast and will appear in fewer scenes. He is far less famous than a singer.
Different from China, the circles of singers and actors here are more distinct. There are not many cross-border transformations, and even fewer are successful.
Sheila decided to give it a try only because the album was difficult to produce and the schedule was suitable and the shooting time was not long. Of course, the price offered by the other party was also one of the reasons.
"Boss, I have to remind you this time, you can't do what you did last time with that woman's album, Sheila. Do you know how much benefit those three songs brought her? Before that, she The annual maximum income has never exceeded 12 million US dollars, but last year it reached 45 million US dollars, and 70% of it was due to the album and the European tour," Marian told Xu Chuanna. I still can’t let go of my prodigal behavior at that time.
Xu Chuan's mouth twitched, not daring to tell the employee in front of him who was only thinking about his own interests that he really regarded those three songs as his personal property.
But the problem is not big. Marian is now using the results to deduce the reasons. Even at the time, he did not expect that Xu Chuan's three songs could achieve this effect. He just thought that they were sold cheaply.
The contract at that time was relatively broad, and there was no particularly detailed statement on certain royalties. This resulted in live performance royalties like concerts having nothing to do with Xu Chuan.
Marian did a rough calculation and found that this alone cost him more than two million yuan in income.
After hearing this, Xu Chuan said, "Well, it's okay. I'm not particularly distressed. For Master Xu, this amount of money is already considered a small amount of money."
The filming of the first episode of "Breaking Bad" was completed in May, and it has passed the internal screening stage of the TV station. If nothing unexpected happens, the broadcast time of the new series will be announced in the next few days. Now the whole The production team is waiting for this news.
Xu Chuan asked him to find out the finished film of the first episode and take a look at it. Compared with the previous life, the difference was not big. The experienced producer easily understood Xu Chuan's requirements. Coupled with the outline and framework he produced, the quality It's definitely guaranteed.
Making TV series is not the purpose, but to understand how this circle works and lay a solid foundation for the company to produce its own film and TV series projects in the future.
Xu Chuan decided to start increasing investment here in the second half of the year. Now he has a large amount of funds stolen from the Golden Triangle that he needs to cleanse and spend. The film and television industry is of course the best choice. He will start producing his own projects next year at the latest.
After the money is laundered, it will be used to purchase various technology patents, such as new energy battery technology and drone technology. This does not mean that Umbrella wants to enter the manufacturing industry, which requires more money and capital. It's still early.
