Chapter 892 Return to New York
Two days later, the South Korean police discovered a body washed ashore on the coast. Although the head was smashed, the autopsy results confirmed that he was Zhou Xingzhe, the captain of the Anti-Narcotics Section of Jinchuan Police Station who was suspected of murder and absconding.
The police determined that he died on the night of absconding. The murderer is suspected to be an accomplice who absconded with him or the smuggler responsible for smuggling.
Prosecutor Kim Junho presented a series of evidence at a press conference that showed that Zhou Xingzhe was related to the death of Zheng Gengxi, the leader of the Anti-Narcotics Section of the Northern Police Station.
The six corpses that were burned beyond recognition in an abandoned factory were also confirmed to be related to Zhou Xingzhe. Evidence such as guns and vehicles left at the scene showed that the victims were a group of drug dealers from Wanwan.
For a time, the Korean media once again fell into a hysterical carnival, with various gossips and so-called "insider" reports flying everywhere. It is said that directors and screenwriters are already thinking about the script, preparing to put this "Demon Police" story on the big screen.
At the same time, Jack also embarked on a flight back to New York.
"If one day you are fired from the police station, or you no longer want to work, please remember to contact me."
Before boarding the plane, he made a phone call gesture to Ma Xidao who came to see him off, causing the other party to fist pump in protest.
This guy's approach is indeed a bit wild. In the middle of drinking last night, he actually called a few girls from the girl group to warm up.
It's a pity that Jack is basically unfamiliar with the Korean entertainment industry. In addition, there are too many girl groups in this country, large and small, and they all look the same. It can only be said that he has experienced the happiness of the chaebols.
Entering the first class cabin, Jack thanked the attentive stewardess, ordered a cup of Coke, opened his notebook and started typing.
The script of the short drama written last time based on the American drama "Supermarket Agent" in the previous life was very popular. The first season has been launched on the streaming media. Red's little girlfriend Lila is still the heroine, playing the sexy character in the drama. Sarah Walker.
This kind of drama about hanging silk to counterattack the goddess is quite popular now, and after gaining experience from the previous short dramas, as the investment increased, many special effects shots were even added.
It can be said that compared with ordinary TV dramas, there is no difference between this short drama and ordinary TV dramas except that the time is still maintained at fifteen minutes.
Therefore, a hard-working person could only seize the time and rush to write. Most of the plot of the original drama was already vague to him, and he could only rely on fresh writing for the rest.
Fortunately, his life now is quite colorful, and with a lot of material provided by a certain old CIA Joe Mason, he can make the spy story in it into a decent one, which is nothing more than adding pretense. The slap-in-the-face scene was a bit fiddly.
The two Wolf brothers have already arrived in Manila. It would take at least a month to take a boat back directly from South Korea. Chris is a busy man now and does not have so much time to spend at sea.
They will finish processing their harvest in Manila before flying back to Los Angeles.
Compared with the "small fortune" of Fausto Alarcon, the third boss of the Sonora Group, that was missed last time, the Wolf brothers' trip was quite fruitful.
The total stolen money from the South Korean branch of the "One Piece Group", Yintian and Zhou Xingzhe amounted to more than 20 million U.S. dollars, plus the 21.5 million used by the Wanwan gang for transactions, the total amount was close to 50 million U.S. dollars.
Jack didn't know exactly how Chris would launder the money, but eventually the windfall would be injected into the newly established "Shangrila" streaming media company through a company registered in the Cayman Islands.
Unlike Jack's previous life, although the famous "Netflix" exists, the company's main business is still optical disc rental, and its current market value is less than 50 million US dollars.
This company's business is still obsessed with continuing to expand the model of renting optical discs through the Internet, and has even developed a new model of renting USB flash drives.
Although it has entered the field of video playback, the user experience of the playback software it developed is extremely poor, and it is still in the early stages of market development.
The ultimate reason is that the spirit of Internet sharing is still thriving in this world. Thanks to the overly active hackers in this world, major copyright companies are still busy strangulating P2P sharing software such as eD2k.
So in this streaming media field that is still crowded and crowded, a dark horse that suddenly emerged based on the popularity of short videos began to emerge.
Jack, who was a bad namer, managed to do something good this time. He borrowed the name of their new company from the mysterious utopia described by the famous British best-selling author James Hilton in his novel "Lost Horizon".
"Shangrila" is Shangri-La, the Western version of "Xanadu", and the short video APP that has already taken shape is named "Shambhala", which is another translation of Shangri-La, and is shortened to "SBL" by Jack. ".
According to Chris' prediction, after receiving this windfall and the first $50 million in financing from the Anderson family, the newly established "Shangri-La" company will have enough cash to burn for a long time. flow.
Compared with Netflix, which in Jack's previous life relied only on US$60 million in financing to regain its life and dominate the streaming video field, "Shambhala" has had a pretty good start.
But the problem is that both Chris and Jack, including the Anderson family as investors, are all conservative in their development plans for this new company.
The so-called conservative means that they don't plan to go public in the future. In fact, there are not only a certain Eastern country, but also many large companies in Europe and the United States that are not listed.
Let's not talk about those luxury brands controlled by aristocratic families in Europe. In addition, there are IKEA, Lego, Mars Group that sells Dove chocolate, and Bloomberg, which focuses on the field of big data and used to like to give each new employee a fish tank to daydream.
So in the foreseeable future, Chris and Jack will have to worry about the company's funding issues for a long time. The cost of building data centers and hiring thousands of software engineers can only be considered small money. The real money is to purchase various copyrights and invest in the development of new IP.
Especially for the development of IP, Jack alone can't do it even if he smokes on the keyboard. Fortunately, he is now half a person who has stepped into the circle of best-selling authors, and he has friends like Cassel, a well-known writer.
In short, the prospects are good, but there is still a long way to go to realize their ambitions.
However, after temporarily solving the funding problem, the development of the new company will accelerate, and another problem has become somewhat urgent, that is, Zoe's political career.
After all, the Anderson family is just one of the old political families in California, and it is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, let alone its influence in Washington.
Although Zoe's grandfather, old Anderson, still has many students and old friends, coupled with the full support of the family's side branches, the royal sister is now known as a rising political star in California.
But a rising star is just a rising star after all, and it takes a certain amount of time to accumulate. Moreover, the seats of the Senate in Congress are re-elected every 6 years. Although the terms of the two seats are staggered, there are still two years before the last re-election.
This also means that unless someone in the two Senate seats in California has an accident, Zoe will have to wait at least two years before she can really enter Washington and become a member of Capitol Hill.
Neither Jack nor Chris can help with this kind of thing, unless they plan to go all out to kill a senator.
