Chapter 234 [New Starting Point]
Li Yi and Zhang Dekun talked on the cruise ship for a full three hours.
During this period, Li Yi mostly acted as the audience, and Zhang Dekun was responsible for narration.
Unlike at the beginning, Zhang Dekun did not pretend to be mysterious, but instead tried his best to show all his talents to Li Yi. Obviously, he also knew that it was the same thing that Li Yi accepted him. If he wanted to continue the cooperation for a long time, he would let Li Yi understand that he was a talent, a rare talent!
Li Yi had no doubt about Zhang Dekun's ability, which was the main reason why he accepted Zhang Dekun.
In addition, although Zhang Dekun is difficult to control, Li Yi also knows that Zhang Dekun cannot play tricks with him now. To be precise, Zhang Dekun will wear a pair of pants with him before he successfully took power in the Chinese gang.
Because they have common interests and common enemies!
As for those who have been successfully in power, Li Yi is confident that Zhang Dekun will be convinced. Of course, Zhang Dekun will also leave a backup plan.
It can be said that although the two are working together now, they are leaving behind a move for each other to cross the river.
When getting off the boat, Zhang Dekun followed Li Yi very sensible.
This detail fell into Xing Feng's eyes in the distance, but it changed Xing Feng's face greatly!
As Zhang Dekun's confidant, he naturally knew that Zhang Dekun sent someone to assassinate Li Yi yesterday, but now, Li Yi not only did not get angry with Zhang Dekun, but on the contrary, the two of them looked very friendly?
At this moment, Xing Feng even doubted whether there was a problem with his eyes. He tried hard to open his eyes wider, and then found that this was indeed the case!
Compared to Xing Feng, the expressions of Sakura and Jester have not changed. Although they saw that Zhang Dekun was not simple, they were also a little curious about Zhang Dekun holding Zhu Cheng's head to see Li Yi, they did not know that Zhang Dekun was the mastermind behind the assassination of Li Yi.
If Sakura knew about this news, she would definitely send Zhang Dekun to see the King of Hell as soon as possible!
In Sakura's eyes, there are no conspiracies or open conspiracies, only dead and living people!
But Jester would not do like Sakura, he would obey Li Yi's orders.
He used to be a soldier and was obeying orders as his duty. Now, Li Yi is his boss. For him, Li Yi's words are orders!
Li Yi and Zhang Dekun soon arrived next to the car. Zhang Dekun greeted Li Yi with a smile, and then left with Xing Feng. Before leaving, Li Yi warned Zhang Dekun to be careful, which reassured Li Yi.
As Li Yi and others watched, Zhang Dekun's car slowly left.
In the car, Xing Feng asked in confusion while driving the car: "Uncle Zhang, don't Li Yi know what happened last night?"
"I know." Zhang Dekun sucked the dry tobacco gently, his expression seemed relaxed, but his heart was not at all relaxed.
He brought great shock to Li Yi, and did Li Yi also give him a "surprise"?
He understood that this game of begging for the tiger was a fierce battle. If you win everything, you can say, but if you lose, you will lose your life!
"Then he..." Xing Feng looked surprised when he heard Zhang Dekun's answer. Obviously, he did not expect Zhang Dekun to take the initiative to tell Li Yi about this, and he did not expect that there was no conflict between the two.
"Xiaofeng, you are still young, you don't understand. In fact...most of the time, the change between enemies and friends is only in one thought." Zhang Dekun closed his eyes and sighed softly: "Li Yi and I only have our needs!"
Everyone gets what they need!
Xing Feng silently muttered these four words in his heart, vaguely understanding what Zhang Dekun meant.
After Zhang Dekun left, Li Yi did not stop and took people back to the Gambino family manor.
Originally, Li Yi's plan was to find Liu Siqin and Liu Wei, but Androv called Li Yi to tell Li Yi that he would discuss with Li Yi about tomorrow's press conference. In this regard, Li Yi had to postpone the meeting with Liu Siqin and Liu Wei.
It was already afternoon when Li Yi returned to the Gambino family manor. Androv waited for Li Yi in the manor for several hours.
As Androv, there are many things to deal with, but the cooperation with Li Yi was handled by her. Compared with this cooperation, other things can be ignored.
In Androv's own words, the cooperation with Li Yi will make the Gambino family the number one big family in the United States!
After learning that Li Yi returned to the manor, Androv did not go to find Li Yi immediately, but gave Li Yi half an hour to take a shower. In fact, after Li Yi returned to the villa, he took a cold shower first because he didn't want to appear in front of Androv with a bloody smell.
When Androv arrived at the villa, Li Yi had already packed up. When Androv came in, he walked straight to the wine cabinet, took a bottle of Rafi, then walked to the coffee table, opened it skillfully, and poured a cup of Androv.
After the "proposal" incident ended, the ambiguous relationship between Li Yi and Androv broke down. After meeting, the two did not act as embarrassed as before. Both of them had an official attitude.
It seems... both parties have adapted to this relationship, at least on the surface.
Androv was still wearing a black leather jacket. Just like Sakura was keen on red, she only wore black clothes.
Originally, black gave people a solemn feeling. With Androv's strong and powerful aura, she gave people the feeling that she was so high and could be seen, but it was impossible to touch it, just like the moon in the water and the flowers in the mirror.
"Tomorrow, journalists from all over the world will gather in New York, and several other major shareholders of Universal Pictures will also attend the press conference in person." Androv looked at him crossing his legs and leaned on the sofa casually. He turned the red wine glass in his hand and said to Li Yi.
Li Yi also knew that tomorrow's press conference was an earthquake in Hollywood and an earthquake in the entertainment industry. Li Yi thought of this when reporters from all over the world gathered in New York, but Li Yi did not expect it. He looked at Androv in confusion: "What are those shareholders doing?"
"There are two reasons. First, they want to put pressure on my father to cancel the decision to transfer shares!" Androv's blue eyes flashed with a shrewd light: "As for the second point, it's very simple. They also knew that it was futile to persuade my father, just to blackmail some benefits. But in comparison, they wanted to see you with their own eyes. After all, you will be the largest shareholder of Universal Pictures in the future, and you will decide their future!"
Hearing Androv say this, Li Yi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he could see that those shareholders who came to New York were naturally not as simple as meeting Li Yi, and the tricks in it were self-evident.
"This matter is simple, it is actually very simple. Although those guys have more shares in their hands than you, they cannot sell them. They also know that my family has just removed the top management staff, and no one else has moved. As long as you are not an idiot, Universal Pictures is still very profitable." Androv couldn't help but suggest to Li Yi: "They are here just to put some pressure on you and see if they can get some benefits from it. My suggestion is that you don't have to pay attention to them. Although they have many shares, they are not in harmony and can't make any big waves. Of course, if you think that little money doesn't matter, you can spend money to eliminate disasters."
After saying that, Androv held the wine glass with his white and tender palms and took a sip. The scarlet liquid moistened her lips, looking particularly attractive.
"I understand what to do." Li Yi sneered disapprovingly: "I want to take advantage of the situation, hey, when my money falls from the sky?"
"Well, although doing this will cause you to be unable to control Universal Pictures for a short period of time, it is also a training for Liu Siqin. Although her ability is very good, she has not been involved in the entertainment circle and still doesn't understand some things." Androv said casually.
When Li Yi heard Androv say this, he had to sigh that Androv thought very thoughtfully.
He is indeed not with that little money, but if he shows weakness in front of those shareholders this time, who can guarantee that those shareholders will not turn against each other in the future?
Since sooner or later, it would be better to turn against each other. First, it would be possible to give Liu Siqin a chance to exercise, and second, it could use the remaining power left by the Gambino family to intimidate those people.
"After tomorrow, you will become a celebrity in the world. Your exposure rate will rise sharply by then, so it is better for you to let your men do some things in the future." Androv said, and his eyes showed a trace of unusual clarity. The complex gaze seemed to tell Li Yi: After tomorrow, you will rise completely, and I can't help you anything, everything depends on you.
"Thank you, Annie." Li Yi couldn't help but say, feeling Androv's expression change.
Anne?!
Hearing these two words, Androv's heart was shocked, and even a few drops of wine splashed out from the wine glass in his hand.
From childhood to adulthood, except for the elders of the Gambino family who called Androv Anne, no one else dared to call Anne in front of Androv!
Li Yi suddenly called Androv Anne, which Androv never dreamed of. After all, her relationship with Li Yi is not as good as before, and it is already very faint.
However, she almost instantly stabilized her mood and her expression returned to normal. She slowly put all the red wine in the glass into her mouth, smiled lightly at Li Yi and said, "Okay, Mr. Li, I won't disturb you."
Androv's transformation seemed to be in Li Yi's prediction. He did not show too much abnormality, but nodded slightly.
After Androv left, Li Yi did not go out again, but stayed in the villa. He first passed the things he would encounter tomorrow in his mind one by one, and after confirming that there was no mistake, he turned his mind to cooperation with Zhang Dekun.
For Li Yi, he was very relieved to cooperate with the Gambino family, but cooperation with Zhang Dekun paved the way for the future.
...
The morning sun was particularly bright, the sky was blue and cloudless, and a slight breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness to the originally stuffy weather.
The press conference for the Gambino family to transfer Universal Pictures was not held at the Gambino family, but at the famous Nickbock Hotel in New York.
Located in the heart of Manhattan, Nickbok Hotel is one of the tallest buildings in Times Square in New York. The hotel was built in the early 20th century and is known for its classic Parisian Academy of Fine Arts architecture. In the 1950s, the hotel was transformed into an office building. In 2006, Nickbok Hotel was acquired by Istithmar, Dubai, United Arab Emirates for nearly US$300 million.
After istithmar acquired Nickbork Hotel, it invested heavily in hotel renovation. The renovated Nickbork Hotel has been detached from the hotel industry with its superior geographical location, luxurious facilities and first-class services. Today, four years later, Nickbork Hotel has become an iconic hotel in New York!
I don't know that it was to build momentum for Li Yi, but for other purposes, Androv was very prepared for this press conference.
Androv had someone prepare more than twenty vehicles to the Nickbok Hotel alone.
More than 20 cars were all luxury cars, and Androv's younger brother contributed it to his cool Rolls-Royce Silver You.
Rolls-Royce Silver Wo, representing the king of cars, ranks at the center of the convoy, and the convoy drives out of the Gambino family manor like a long dragon.
Originally, with the importance of this matter, reporters should have squatted in front of the Gambino family manor to dig out valuable news, but due to the strength of the Gambino family, no reporter dared to go to the Gambino family manor to dig out news.
Obviously, for being famous, they care more about their lives!
Although the American media is much freer and more open than domestic, like domestic, some news needs to be harmonious, but the sources of pressure are different.
When Li Yi and Androv arrived at the Nickbock Hotel, the hotel was already crowded with reporters from all over the world. In order to ensure that the press conference was held smoothly, the New York police specially sent a group of police officers to the hotel to maintain public order. Although the number of those reporters was large, they were all divided into several different areas. Basically, local journalists in the United States were together, while the others were divided according to major states.
It’s not that the police don’t want to separate the media from each country. There are too many media coming, as many as hundreds of media from countries.
Among them, many reporters have arrived in New York. They have been raising their energy for several days to get first-hand news. In order to get first-hand news, they waited at the hotel last night.
At this time, when the reporters saw a dragon of cars slowly coming from a distance, the crowd immediately became turbulent!
At this moment, although no one informed me, everyone understood that the protagonist today is here!
In their opinion, except for the Gambino family, who is the protagonist, no party could use such a large pomp.
After leaving the Gambino family, police cars helped to open the road. At this time, the traffic near the hotel was basically blocked. With the police cars leading the road, the convoy smoothly arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
Seeing the majestic and atmospheric convoy, the reporters went crazy immediately as if they were smelling the fishy smell!
Although there were police stops them, the reporters seemed to be half crazy and rushed to the convoy frantically.
After the crowd was in agitation, the scene immediately became chaotic, hundreds of people rushed towards the convoy, and some weak reporters were squeezed into the crowd and almost squeezed into meat pies.
"Damn it, why are you squeezing?"
"You guys trampled on my shoes!"
"Who touched my butt?"
...
For a moment, there were shouting sounds everywhere in the crowd. Some reporters couldn't squeeze in front of them, so they gave up their plan to get first-hand information and took advantage of the chaos of the crowd to take advantage of the beautiful reporters beside them.
The reporters who can appear at the entrance of the hotel are all ace reporters in every media. Generally speaking, female reporters can become ace reporters, with their appearance, figure and temperament indispensable. These reporters can be said to be worthy of the title of beautiful reporter.
To be continued...
