Chapter 142: Twin Flowers (65)
Lying in bed at night, Yun Tinglan suddenly sat up and pounded the bed. She, an old lady, was actually fascinated by the man!
Fortunately, the lights were dim at night, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing.
Although she didn't sleep well last night, Yun Tinglan has already developed the habit of morning exercises. When she stepped into the living room, Huo Zhensheng pointed to her phone and said, "Someone called three times."
Yun Tinglan narrowed her eyes slightly. Could it be Director Li's nephew again? He had called her several times last night, and offered her the minor roles in the movie in a condescending tone, hoping to take away the copyright of Chi Ling for nothing.
She ignored him.
I was afraid that he drank fake wine and burned his brain. After she blocked me, she still called me from a different number.
She asked Lingxi to block him. Logically, he shouldn't be able to call in. When she picked up the phone, it turned out that he wasn't. But why did Director Li suddenly call? To protect his own people? To call him to find fault? Or was it directed at Chiling?
"... um... okay... no need... then how about this, Grandpa Li, just transfer the money to the orphanage's account... Okay, I didn't worry about it, I know it has nothing to do with you... Okay, I'll go back to Yanjing and we'll talk again."
After hanging up the phone, Yun Tinglan had a little more praise for Director Li's character. She said that the man must be taking advantage of the power of others and using Director Li's name to seek benefits for himself.
Director Li just wanted the authorization for the movie theme song and offered a price of 600,000 yuan, but the price was swallowed up by that person, who also wanted to get some more benefits from her.
He has good teeth, but his heart is too evil. He should be responsible for his own actions. It is not excessive for her to take some mental damage compensation from his account.
Speaking of Chi Ling, Xinglan Entertainment is still pretending to be dead. Why? Are they waiting for her to collect the debt? Shao Yue'er did it, and she was also in jail, but Xinglan should also bear this responsibility.
Yun Tinglan is short of money, and she can't move freely without funds in the Myanmar public auction.
This cannot be delayed, so Yun Tinglan asked Ling Xi to go to Xinglan and find out about Wu Zhenhua's family background first. It is only natural to rob the rich and help the poor.
Domestic accounts are not easy to move. Later, the country father will check the account and find that there is not a penny. Who would believe it? She accepted it with a smile when she was abroad.
As usual, she takes half of the 100%, gives the rest back to society, and takes out a little more money... Oh, Huo's has a top lawyer team. In Huo Zhensheng's words, "They have nothing to do anyway."
Of course, we must fight for every penny of the obvious benefits. It is better to use them to help poor children than to give them to those parasites.
[How much did you gain from shorting Xinglan’s shares?]
Ling Xi was very excited. [The stock price dropped by 0.65 points. Xinglan Entertainment's market value evaporated by hundreds of millions. Should we sell it?]
Those shareholders will probably have to eat Shao Yueer, and Wu Zhenhua’s carefree days are over.
[Sell it first, and when Xinglan finds a way to raise the price, buy it back. Then we will sue Xinglan Entertainment and expose their money laundering, tax evasion, and artists’ drug use.]
This way you can get more benefits.
They had breakfast in silence. Yun Tinglan felt uncomfortable. She avoided him everywhere in her previous life, but in this life, she became obsessed with him.
It’s embarrassing just thinking about it.
It was a good opportunity for me to take some time off from him because of the public auction so that I could sort out our relationship.
Huo Zhensheng asked her, "Do you want to go to Naypyidaw?"
That must be what I thought.
This trip to Jieyang was an agreement she and Xue Kaixuan had made. They would transfer to Myanmar together to attend the jade auction. Apart from safety considerations, she also planned to visit the homes of the mine owners.
But this requires someone to introduce her.
In terms of the degree of trust, the first choice is definitely Huo Zhensheng, and Xue Kaixuan suddenly called last night and said that there was an urgent matter at home and he could not get away for the time being.
Yun Tinglan originally planned to go to the Jieyang public auction today to pick a jeweler with good character to go with her, but she didn't expect that there was a silver lining.
"Brother, are you going? When?" Yun Tinglan's eyes suddenly brightened. If they set off tomorrow, she could hitchhike, and with Huo Zhensheng traveling with her, there would be no worries about safety.
"...Tomorrow." He can adjust the time.
Special Assistant Liu was shocked. It was time to work overtime again!
Pyi Taw, Myanmar.
The place where Yun Tinglan and the others stayed was not the hotel she had booked before, but a private house. Well, calling it a private house is a bit insulting, anyway, it is the most domineering one within a radius of dozens of miles.
It is obvious at first glance that the homeowner must be a local tyrant and must have a certain amount of armed force, otherwise he will not be able to protect his property.
It was not until the evening that Yun Tinglan met her master.
The owner's surname is Zhao. He is a little fat, has a big belly, wears gold-rimmed glasses, is about fifty years old, and is wearing their local ethnic costume, longji, and a pair of flip-flops.
The gold chain around his neck, as thick as his little finger, could easily make people mistake him for a nouveau riche. However, according to the information Ling Xi gave her, he was actually a local tyrant, the boss of one of the four major families - the Zhao family.
Many people have mixed opinions about him. Some say that he brought peace and tranquility to the local people, so that they no longer have to suffer from exploitation by various forces and no longer have to become victims of the struggle for territory among various forces.
But maintaining an army is very expensive.
Where does the money come from? Relying on local agriculture is obviously unrealistic, so attracting investment is the fastest and most effective way.
This has led to the existence of many shady industries here, and many people who want to make ill-gotten gains will also come here, so it can be said that it is a mixed bag.
But he was able to remain standing not only because he had his own private army, but also because of his wife's nepotism.
My uncle is an official politician, and he himself has obtained legal status from the military, as the chairman of the Freedom Alliance District.
So this seemingly kind old man Zhao is not really easy to talk to. He is a provincial governor with power, mines and armed forces.
Yun Tinglan glanced at Huo Zhensheng. He was playing big enough. He was cooperating directly with the local chaebols. He should not be swallowed up by them accidentally.
During the dinner, Yun Tinglan ate in silence the whole time, her whole body tense and alert at all times. She did not trust this local tyrant and asked Ling Xi to keep an eye on his every move.
Fortunately, the other party really wanted to promote cooperation, and the whole dinner was quite harmonious. Mr. Zhao even gave her a generous gift before leaving.
The top-grade spicy green jadeite bracelet has a rich overall color, uniform and pure color, and a warm and delicate texture.
Very rare, conservatively estimated at two small goals.
Ask Yun Tinglan if she likes it? Yes.
But she didn't dare to take it! It was too hot!
Huo Zhensheng took it very naturally, handed it to Yun Tinglan, and then nodded to Mr. Zhao.
The smile on Mr. Zhao's face then spread into his eyes.
What kind of riddle is this? Yun Tinglan frowned. If Huo Zhensheng needed to give up his interests, she might as well ask for the benefits directly, and there would be no middleman to make a profit from the price difference.
"Brother, do you want to enter the jewelry industry?" Before returning to her room, Yun Tinglan couldn't help but ask, although she already had the answer in her heart.
Listening to Ling Xi's simultaneous interpretation during the dinner, she felt mixed emotions and couldn't help but ask in person.
Huo Zhensheng turned around with his cane and looked down at her, "Don't you need the gem mine? Or...are you more interested in the jade mine now?"
She is not, she doesn’t have it. Although she wants it all, but... she doesn’t have the ability to eat it for the time being.
Back in the room, Yun Tinglan tossed and turned.
The transaction between Huo Zhensheng and Mr. Zhao is actually an industrial exchange. Huo is a leader in the electronic information industry. Of course, Huo's Group's industry is not limited to the electronics industry. It spans many fields and involves basically all industries in China.
But the real leading position is still in electronic information technology, and the reason why the Huo family can have such a big say in the country is that Huo Zhensheng took the initiative to use the high-precision chips, instruments and equipment developed by the Huo family research institute to cooperate with the military.
The most cutting-edge scientific research results will inevitably be used by the military first, and some technologies that have been gradually eliminated or castrated versions of finished products will be put on the market on a large scale.
Even so, Huo Technology is still far ahead.
Mr. Zhao's purpose this time was not only to purchase the top security system at a high price, but also to obtain some of Huo's technology, especially chip cooperation.
It is obvious that he wants to use the advantages of chips to divide the market for mobile phones and other electronic products in Myanmar.
Huo Zhensheng obtained the twenty-year development rights to a ruby vein in the Mogu mining area.
Both sides need long-term cooperation to maintain friendly relations, and there are checks and balances on both sides. It is both cooperation and game.
The total value exceeds 10 billion.
Yun Tinglan's scalp tingled when she heard this, and the bracelet on her hand seemed even heavier than before.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, wouldn't it be better to just give her the 10 billion? Well... well, she really wouldn't take it, it's better to earn money yourself.
But we have to say that Huo Zhensheng is generous!
It was impossible for Yun Tinglan to have no ripples in her heart, she was not made of wood. But she did not want to presuppose that she would spend her life with him, just let them get along naturally, wherever fate took them, that was it.
Love is a subjective emotion of human beings. But people change, so love can easily disappear. She has long passed the age of impulsiveness, and now she has the ability to weigh the pros and cons and appreciate things rationally and objectively.
She really liked a sentence she saw, "If you are destined to be together, you can't avoid it; if you are not destined to be together, you can't meet each other; if fate comes, you will gather together; if fate ends, you will separate. Love is voluntary, and there is no regret after it is over. Don't let down the encounter and don't talk about debts."
Let's just get along naturally.
It's also good to be non-attached, have no regrets, and live freely and casually.
If you are moved and have sweet love, then enjoy it and respond to the other person with the same emotional value. If the relationship is gone, there is no need to force it, you deserve better.
After thinking this through, Yun Tinglan stopped worrying about it.
Calculating her own financial situation, she doesn't like to owe anyone anything, and it would only be fair if everyone gets an equal return.
Her space was sealed.
Currently, the only means available are refining pills and making amulets. The former requires top-quality medicinal materials containing spiritual energy, and the latter requires top-quality jade, neither of which can be obtained in a short period of time.
Yuntinglan cannot guarantee how effective they will be, but they are definitely beneficial and harmless.
Then there is the system.
Whether it works or not, Lingxi must swallow it after returning to China, otherwise how to recover the source fragments? If the system data and mall can be retained, it would be good.
If it doesn't work, she will think of another way.
The design drawings of the drone robots in her hands, plus the patent for the portable identification instrument, are worth more than ten billion.
Just like that, Yun Tinglan fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, the maid prepared a local national costume for her, Temin, which looked very beautiful. But she was not used to it and preferred jeans, a white shirt and sneakers to be more comfortable.
Huo Zhensheng was already sitting in the living room, holding a video conference. Yun Tinglan subconsciously lightened her steps and went to the kitchen to get breakfast, which the maid had already prepared.
Burmese people are accustomed to eating mohengka (rice noodles in fish soup) for breakfast. Probably because we are afraid that Burmese people may not be used to it, we prepare milk and eggs, as well as their milk tea, coffee, fried cakes, bread and other snacks, which is a very rich meal.
Yun Tinglan prefers milk tea. She took a sip and thought it was delicious. She handed the coffee to Huo Zhensheng. Seeing that he hadn't finished yet, she put it on the table without disturbing him.
She didn't know that the senior executives in the conference room on the other end of the video were making faces and looking like they could put on a big drama.
Everyone knows that their boss is famous for his abstinence and chastity. Many people privately speculate that the boss might be a homosexual.
Otherwise, why are all close staff, from secretaries to special assistants, male?
But, there is no scandal in this regard?
Two years ago, there was a handsome man with evil intentions who wanted to take the "back door", but was fired by Huo Zhensheng as an example to others.
From then on, everyone said that the boss might have some kind of obstacle, so he wouldn't be attracted to beautiful women, regardless of gender!
If the hand that just appeared in the corner of the screen wasn't a woman's, they would have twisted their heads off and kicked them like a ball.
Huo Zhensheng didn't care about their arguments. He assigned the tasks in a few words and ended the meeting.
Only the senior executives on the other end of the network were left looking at each other in bewilderment at the black screen.
