Soon, Margaret Wood, James White, and Johnny Randall, and several descendants of the middle and high-level members of the California consortium, but their status and disposable funds are one level worse than them Friends gathered together.
This is Johnny's mansion in the Bay Area, which is very close to the training base of the famous major league team "Sports".
Sometimes you can even hear the loud noises of those rugby players, the dull "puff" and "bang" sounds of fierce collisions in armor, interspersed with the coach's sharp whistle.
Johnny was a very good quarterback in high school and college, and while he didn't turn pro, he always loved football—perhaps because he didn't have a career.
When there was a faint burst of laughter from the players, Margaret curled her lips in disgust.
She loved sleeping with football players, after all they were big, strong, and physically fit.
But that doesn't mean she loves the sport.
"What did that Dahua billionaire tell you? Why did he have an intersection with Shen?" Margaret turned her gaze to James.
James was distracted by the smoke of his cigar.
Although he usually likes to pretend to be a gentleman, anyone who knows him knows that he is a jerk.
Vulgar, arrogant, never care about other people's feelings, don't care about other people's life or death.
So Marguerite didn't bother to ask him to put out the cigar, because he would definitely not listen.
James was holding a cigar, and seemed to be slowly coming back to his senses, "I didn't know what the relationship between Hemingway and Shen was. So before I came here, I asked a few well-informed people in Dahua."
Having said that, he took two puffs of his cigar sullenly.
When smoking a cigar, smoke is not usually inhaled into the lungs.
But he actually frowned and sucked the cigar in.
Then I was choked and coughed again and again.
"Cough, cough, cough..." It took him a long time to stop coughing, and his expression was a little distressed.
"Shen used disgraceful means to obtain the start-up funds for the establishment of 'Duo Re Mi' from Hemingway's old father. It is said that Hemingway's old father became so angry that he fell ill and died."
No one spoke, obviously shocked by the news.
After a while, Margaret said in a bitter tone, "Is Shen crazy? Calculate the time. At that time, Hemingway should be famous all over the world, and he is already a billionaire."
"Maybe Hemingway was too low-key, so Shen didn't know how much energy he had at that time." James said in a speculative tone.
Johnny looked at his little friends, "So what now?"
Although he has a cruel personality, he is not a very clever and quick-witted person.
When encountering problems, he habitually lets others think.
"What did he say to you?" Margaret asked, still keeping calm.
James smacked his lips and said in a dry voice, "Hemingway? He said that he has a personal grudge with Shen, so let's not ask Shen to do anything. Otherwise, when he deals with Shen, he will accidentally ruin our business." , it’s not good if you hurt your peace.”
"Hypocritical orientals. They like to say hypocritical and circle words." Margaret commented.
Someone sneered and said, "We can't do whatever he says."
"Then what do you think we should do?" The other person rolled his eyes, "I don't want to offend a billionaire."
This sentence represents the voice of some people.
They were well aware of the power that comes with wealth, and Hemingway, who had more wealth than them, had greater power.
Confronting power is never a good idea.
But not everyone wants to shy away from the struggle.
"It's not that we offend him, it's that he wants to touch us, understand? We can't back down, otherwise if it spreads out, our dignity will be demolished, and no one will dare to do things for us in the future."
"It's not our fault. It's Shin's own fault. Do you want to start a war with Hemingway? I don't think it's a good idea. If you want to start a war with Hemingway, I'll quit."
"No one is talking about going to war with Hemingway, but we can't let him have his way."
"Hemingway doesn't necessarily want to start a war with us. His tone is not tough."
"Eastern people are all like this. They seldom say tough words, and they are usually very reserved, but you can understand what toughness is when they do things. They don't even frown when they cut their stomachs."
"You are talking about Sakurajima people, not Dahua people."
"What's the difference? They're all Orientals."
"Okay, don't get off topic. Now we are discussing how to respond to Hemingway."
"Just tell him 'If you want to fight, then fight'."
"I don't want to go crazy with you!"
Obviously, the friends are divided into two factions with different opinions.
Johnny's attitude is relatively tough, and James and Margaret haven't made a statement yet.
The rest were arguing with each other.
"Listen, guys," one of the buddies suggested loudly, "think about it, we've already taken this business, and you know who we're dealing with. This thing can't be influenced, otherwise We will be torn apart by those people. And Hemingway, whether you like him or not, he is absolutely capable of spoiling our affairs. So I suggest that we remove Shin, give him to Hemingway, and then someone else will host Dahua. There is still half a year between now and the release of 'Lyon Outlaw', so there is still time for a replacement to take over."
Margaret thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, Shen's role cannot be replaced easily, otherwise we would have replaced him long ago. We have spent several years to promote him and let him contact Dahua Those people in the Chinese entertainment industry. Now that he is replaced, especially if we are going to hand him over to Hemingway, it is impossible for him to willingly hand over his relationship to a newcomer."
Speaking of this, she paused, glanced at her friends, and emphasized her tone, "If those relationships are cut off, the consequences will be more serious than you imagined, and it will lead to a sharp increase in our money laundering costs in Dahua. Let us It doesn’t make a penny, and it even makes us make ends meet.”
"Of course, if we can postpone the action and give the newcomers a little more time, I believe that what Shen can do, he can do, and those relationships can be reconnected."
"But we don't have the time."
What businessmen are most sensitive to is "interests".
When they heard that the replacement of Shen Jinsong would cause them to lose money, those who advocated abandoning Shen Jinsong before became silent.
James pondered for a while: "So we want to keep Shen temporarily. But how does Hemingway explain?"
"We don't need to explain to him," Johnny said darkly.
Margaret had a different opinion: "No, we must give him an explanation, and we must not let him ruin our business. Johnny, don't be arrogant, this is not your personal grudge, but it is related to the wealth of all of us and fate."
Johnny pouted disapprovingly, reserved his opinion, but stopped rebutting.
Margaret still has a little prestige in their circle.
"Do you think we told Hemingway that without him doing it himself, we'll get rid of Shin, but it just takes a little time. Will this stabilize him?" James asked not too confidently.
"Anyway, we decided to get rid of Shin after this job was done," he added.
Margaret thought for a while, and said distressedly: "That's the only way, we don't have a better solution for the time being. Let's delay him for a few months, and when the work is completed, we will give him an explanation." , and then train new people to take over."
After discussing for a while, no one had any new opinions, so James put down his cigar, took out his cell phone and started dialing, "Then I'll reply to him."
When the call was connected, James subconsciously became respectful: "Mr. Hemingway, after hearing what happened to you, we all sympathize with you and hate Shen's behavior. We are willing to clean up Shen as a friendship between us." symbol of."
James used the word "getridof" here. The meaning of this word is a bit vague. Even if someone wiretapped him and brought him to court, the judge would not be able to determine that his words meant that he wanted to kill Shin.
James continued: "But it will take a little time. Please wait patiently for a while, and we will definitely deal with it as soon as possible."
Hemingway's cold voice came: "Understood."
Then hung up the phone.
The friends looked at each other.
What does it mean?
Johnny roared angrily: "Is he looking down on us? Damn it, if you ask me, we should have a fight with him!"
"What to do with him?" Margaret gave him a blank look, "He crushes your head, it's not much harder than crushing an egg. The funds he can mobilize, the politicians and big businessmen he can influence, are beyond your comparability Yes. Your poor property, no, our poor property, as long as he takes it seriously, we won’t be able to survive for three years and we will have to declare bankruptcy.”
Johnny was speechless.
Although he looked angry, he knew that what Margaret said was the truth, and there was no need to quibble.
James' expression was solemn: "He only said he knew, but he didn't promise us any conditions. How should we understand? Will he deal with Shen Jinsong and affect our plan? Damn it!"
He took a few puffs on his cigar and coughed again.
"How about, let's remind Shen." Someone suggested.
"No, we can't remind him," another person objected, "What if he sneaks away? Not only will it affect our plan, but it will also make Hemingway have nowhere to vent his anger, and it may end up making us unlucky."
Margaret tapped the small table with her fingers, and after attracting everyone's attention, she said slowly: "This matter is a bit out of our control now. I suggest, let's find someone to help."
"Who are you looking for?"
Margaret didn't answer, and the other party quickly understood that Margaret asked them to find their relatives and friends.
They are not opponents at the same level as Hemingway. Hemingway can completely ignore their demands and crush them like eggs.
But their elders, relatives and friends can still compete with Hemingway one or two, and make Hemingway listen carefully to their appeals.
"Let someone with more weight come forward, talk to Hemingway, and stabilize him. We will get rid of Shen next year at the latest, and he will not interfere with our affairs."
Johnny said sullenly: "Finding someone with more weight to come forward... It takes favors. Favors... are money."
James took a deep breath: "There is no way, the matter has come to this point, we can't settle Hemingway without loss at all. Let's do it like this!"
"That's the only way to go, let's take action." Margaret said loudly.
Johnny didn't object anymore.
The three most powerful people in the circle have all made a decision, and of course the others can only follow.
