TVB Building, inside the general manager's office.

  Chu Huan walked in and saw that Paula was also in the room. He didn't say anything about it. He went straight to the desk, picked up the phone on the desk, and then sat down on the huge boss chair.

   "Hello Sir Robert, I am Chu Huan!"

   Short and normal opening!

Luo Pishi was also sitting on the sofa in Xia Dingji's office, holding the phone in his hand, listening to Chu Huan's voice on the phone. For this British person who was the biggest troublemaker in Xiangjiang's interests, no matter what happened to Luo Pishi because of Chu Huan's three decisions before, Angry, how despondent, he maintained his demeanor at this time.

   "Hello, Mr. Chu, haven't we two talked on the phone for a long time?"

   "Yeah, I thought we should talk a little more when we met at the Hong Kong Film Festival tonight, but I didn't expect Sir Robertson to call now!"

   "Haha, I thought you wouldn't be here tonight, Mr. Chu. So, Mr. Chu will attend the Xiangjiang Film Festival on time tonight?"

   "Naturally, this is what I promised Patterson before, so naturally I want to participate!"

  Robertson held the phone and said happily: "If this is the case, I think Patterson will be very happy!"

   "I hope so too!" Chu Huan also had a smile in his tone.

  Luo Bishi said relaxedly: "Chu Dong, there is something I want to have a good chat with Chu Dong, I hope you will give me a face!"

   "If I can do it personally, it is my duty to do so. Sir Robert, please tell me!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Luo Bishi said: "It's actually not a big deal, just this morning, the black and white theater chain under Mr. Chu's name decided to suspend business for a month from today. Mr. Chu's black and white theater chain has the most If the black-and-white theater chain stops working, it will definitely be a great loss to the movie audience in Xiangjiang, and it will not be easy for the black-and-white theater chain to achieve its current achievements. If other companies take advantage of this gap to establish their own The theater company is also not good for Director Chu's black and white theaters, so whether it is public or private, I personally hope that Director Chu can reconsider the renovation of the black and white theaters.

   Even if you really want to renovate, you can renovate several theaters in batches, so that all theaters will not be renovated at the same time, right? "

"It turned out to be this matter!" Chu Huan said suddenly, as if he had never thought that Robert Roberts would tell him about this matter, and said helplessly: "Sir Roberts should call in advance, all the construction work now The team, building materials, and theater equipment have all entered the venue. It is impossible to change the date or revise the renovation plan. It will be too great a loss for us.

  As for other film companies or theater chain companies, if they want to do this industry, there is actually nothing to do. If we do the theater chain business, others will naturally do it too.

   And there is competition to make progress. With the competition from other theater companies, those in the Black and White Cinemas can better serve the movie audiences in Hong Kong. I think this is also good! "

  Luo Bishi was slightly annoyed, he didn't expect that he had already brought Liang Risi to ICAC, yet Chu Huan was still so arrogant and didn't give him any face at all.

"Mr. Chu, that's not the way he thinks about it. Patterson has talked with the bosses of other film companies in Xiangjiang before. Everyone still hopes that Director Chu can consider the overall situation. After all, it takes a month for Xiangjiang's movie audiences to If you can’t see the movie, there will definitely be many people who will be dissatisfied!”

Chu Huan looked calm, and said with a smile: "There is an old saying in Huaguo, if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your weapon. The movie theater is the sharp sword in our black and white video hands. Now some people think that the sharp sword in our hands is blunt and can’t cut, so we naturally have to polish the sharp sword well, and let those people know that it’s not that the sword in our hands is blunt, it’s just that the sword in our hands is blunt. We don't want to swing the sword in our hands.

  Sir Roberts, I don't know if you've heard the saying that having a sword is not the same thing as having a sword! "

   There was a brief silence on the phone.

  After a while, Luo Bishi said: "Isn't Director Chu worried that other people will use swords against you like this?"

  Chu Huan said calmly: "There is nothing to worry about. It is a fighting instinct to show the sword when encountering an enemy. If others also show their swords to us, let's see who has the sharpest sword in their hands!"

The smile in Luo Bishi's voice began to dissipate, and he said indifferently: "Mr. Chu's words of bright swords are really novel, but I think Mr. Chu should also understand that in today's society, the sword is no longer the only weapon. Maybe yours The enemy already has more advanced weapons in their hands, such as long guns, cannons, tanks, and airplanes. When facing these weapons, Mr. Chu, you only talk about your bright sword, can it still play a role?"

  Chu Huan said: "Sir Robert, there is something I think I should remind you about!"

   "Mr. Chu, please speak, I'm all ears!" Luo Bishi said.

"Likes, cannons, tanks, and airplanes all need money to buy, and I, Chu Huan, have nothing else but a lot of money. In the end, it's nothing more than a war of attrition, so let's see who is more anxious !"

  Chu Huan's tone remained calm.

  Luo Bishi fell silent again, and after a while, he said: "It seems that it is impossible to change the plan of Director Chu and your company!"

  Chu Huan said: "There is no way, the arrow is on the string and has to be fired, and humiliation cannot be exchanged for glory. I always believe that the distance of the cannon is the distance of justice!"

  Luo Bishi suddenly laughed, and said: "Chairman Chu said seriously, the current Xiangjiang is still very fair, otherwise, the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang would not have grown up like bamboo shoots after the rain to the point where they are now!"

  Chu Huan also smiled and said: "A gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement. If the Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang hadn't worked hard enough, we wouldn't be in this situation!"

Luo Bishi said: "Speaking of the development of Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang, the second decision made by President Chu really surprised me. Zhulu Real Estate is going to give up the residential market in Xiangjiang. This is a market worth hundreds of billions in the future. Ah, Chairman Chu gave up so willingly?"

  Chu Huan said: "Naturally, I am unwilling, but there is no other way. Some people don't want to see Zhulu Real Estate multi-line, and want to suppress Zhulu Real Estate. Since this is the case, we have no choice but to give up."

"Mr. Chu was joking. According to Mr. Chu's status in Xiangjiang today, who else can suppress Mr. Chu's business!" Luo Bishi said: "I think Mr. Chu should have a longer-term plan, such as using himself to withdraw With this opportunity in the real estate market in Xiangjiang, we have reached more demands for cooperation with real estate developers in Xiangjiang. In this way, although Mr. Chu left the residential market in Xiangjiang, he actually has more say in this market, right? "

  Chu Huan admired: "Sir is really a big shot, and he can see through my small thoughts at a glance. Are you talking about business? Since you can have greater benefits, why don't you pursue it!"

  Robert got angry again, did he guess it? This was clearly made by Chu Huan just for himself to see.

"It's just that Mr. Chu has thought about it. Such things are not necessarily good. It is true that Xiangjiang's real estate company will have more cooperation opportunities with Mr. Chu's Zhulu Real Estate for this, but Mr. Chu also said just now that in Business is business, and businessmen are profit-seeking, and real estate companies need funds for their development.

  If these real estate companies get sufficient financial support, or if some people don’t want to see the emergence of this interest alliance and cut off the capital chain of these companies, I think that at that time, Director Chu’s plan may not be possible to develop.

   At this time, Director Chu announced the decision to withdraw Zhulu Real Estate from the Xiangjiang residential market. So if these lands are kept in the hands of Zhulu Real Estate, wouldn’t it be a waste of money and increase the cost of Zhulu Real Estate? "

   "Sir, you can see clearly, and you can see the disadvantages of this plan at a glance!" Chu Huan did not deny Luo Bishi's words, but calmly said: "It's just that Sir, you seem to have forgotten what I just said!"

   "What are you talking about?" Luo Bishi asked with some doubts.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "I, Chu Huan, don't have many other things, but I have a lot of cash. When I just discussed with those real estate companies in Xiangjiang, I made a decision. Jiaku will set up a special real estate project investment department in the early stage We are going to invest tens of billions of funds to support Xiangjiang's real estate companies, in order to avoid the possibility of their capital chain being broken!"

"what!"

  During the conversation with Chu Huan, Luo Bishi lost his composure and exclaimed for the first time.

  Xia Dingji, who had been sitting next to Luo Bishi, saw Luo Bishi's appearance, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? What did Chu Huan say?"

  Luo Bishi covered the microphone, and repeated what Chu Huan had just said to Xia Dingji.

  Xia Dingji: "."

  At this time, he thought of the teasing of Chu Huan just now. Chu Huan actually gave out 10 billion Hong Kong dollars to support Xiangjiang's real estate company?

   When I see Chu Huan in the future, do I really have to bow first?

Luo Bishi put away the shock in his heart, and asked Chu Huan calmly again: "Director Chu is really generous, tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in cash is not a small sum, and Director Chu has just completed the contract with Hehe International- With Wheelock’s acquisition, and now they have spent tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to support Hong Kong’s real estate company, isn’t Mr. Chu worried about problems with his company’s capital chain?”

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Of course I'm worried, but there's nothing I can do. If I don't make a move at this time, then I can only be a mermaid in the future. My waist is a bit straight, and I can't bend it. I can only gamble Already!"

Luo Bishi said: "Mr. Chu was joking. I just said it. With your status in Xiangjiang today, Mr. Chu, who can let Mr. Chu be mermaid? Maybe the other party just wants to cooperate with you. Woolen cloth!"

  Chu Huan said: "Is that so? I personally think that cooperation should be in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, where both parties jointly put forward their own interests, and then find a suitable entry point for common development.

Instead of blindly suppressing, suppressing, suppressing again, and then forcing me to bow my head and give up part of the benefits, if Sir, you call this kind of thing cooperation, then to me, this kind of cooperation is actually suppression. Need to talk! "

  Luo Bishi fell silent again, obviously he understood what Chu Huan meant, and Chu Huan couldn't accept such a situation.

  But such a situation is what Robert must achieve.

"Mr. Chu, the acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock by Jiaku is really too big. Both the Chief Secretary and the Financial Secretary believe that this matter is not a good thing for Xiangjiang's business development. Before this, there has been no sign of trouble in this matter, and just now the people from the China Securities Regulatory Commission called us, wanting to reconsider the acquisition of Director Chu."

  Chu Huan smiled, Luo Bishi couldn't sit still anymore, obviously his words were not as cryptic as before, and he started to talk about this matter clearly.

"The acquisition of Jiaku is a private company of Xiangjiang, which is not under the supervision of the China Securities Regulatory Commission. They have nothing to review. Besides, the whole process complies with all the business rules of Xiangjiang. I don't see any violations of the status quo. If If the China Securities Regulatory Commission really intends to reconsider, then our Jiaku can only take up our own weapons and fight back!"

   Luo Bishi frowned slightly. Ever since he started talking with Chu Huan, Chu Huan didn't give him the answer he wanted for everything he said, which made Luo Bishi very unhappy.

"Mr. Chu, although the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission has no right to review the acquisition of Hehe International-Wheelock by Jiaku, I believe that there must be problems in the process of the delisting and privatization of Hehe International-Wheelock. This matter But it is under the supervision of the Xiangjiang Securities Regulatory Commission, everyone takes a step back, why bother to make things so troublesome?"

  Chu Huan said firmly at this time: "I have just walked up to the top of the mountain, and there is a cliff behind me. I can't retreat a step. If I retreat, there will be no bones left!"

   "So, this matter is out of discussion?" Luo Bishi's words became more and more obvious.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "There is no need to discuss, but considering that Mr. Jazz and I are good friends, I can remind Mr. Sir that now we have hired 15 Queen's Counsel in England, including Lord Grantham. Lawyers, Barrister Coyle, and Barrister Carter, if the SFC’s reconsideration of us does not comply with any procedures, then even if this lawsuit reaches the House of Commons, our company will accompany us!”

  Robert: "."

  At this moment, he really understood Chu Huan's words: I, Chu Huan, have nothing else but money!

The three barristers that Chu Huan mentioned just now are all figures at the level of Taishan Beidou in the entire British legal circle. Let’s put it this way, the documents of various legal amendments in England in recent decades have basically been written by the three of them. The name exists.

  The entire British legal community, from the top justices to the top lawyers, mostly have close ties with them.

  That is, when he returned to England to report on his work, Robert, if he saw the three of them, he had to say hello respectfully.

   It would be an astronomical figure to hire one of them on weekdays, but now Chu Huan invited all three of them directly.

  Hehe, will the lawsuit be brought to the House of Commons?

  With the participation of the three of them, it is estimated that there will be no court session, and these people from the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission will have to be reprimanded.

"Mr. Chu, I remember that there is an old saying in Huaguo that it is better to manage the county magistrate. If Mr. Chu does this, he will only put himself and the Xiangjiang Securities Regulatory Commission in a confrontational situation. Is this the situation that Mr. Chu wants to see?" of it?

   What's more, I think there will be people in Yinglun who will express their dissatisfaction with Mr. Chu's behavior. By then, everything will really develop to the point where it cannot be relieved. "

   After sorting out his wording, Robert delivered the sermon.

Chu Huan said with a smile: "Among the industries of the Jiaku Department, only Qingzhou Yingni is a listed company. As for the industries invested by Jiaku, they are spread all over Xiangjiang. If the China Securities Regulatory Commission really wants to take any action, it will be Disrupted Hong Kong’s securities market. At the stage when Hong Kong’s economy has just begun to recover, if the China Securities Regulatory Commission wants to do this, I think the Hong Kong government’s idea of ​​building Hong Kong into an important global financial market will be impossible. By then Is that really what the Hong Kong government wants to see?"

  Facing Chu Huan's rhetorical question, Luo Bishi realized that he still had no way to deal with Chu Huan in this matter.

   There are some things that can't really be said, such as the fact that they are going to form an alliance with HSBC and Jardine. If this kind of thing is spread, then this matter will become their biggest political scandal by then.

  Luo Bishi believed that Chu Huan would definitely not give up such an opportunity.

  Finally, the target was placed on Liang Risi.

"By the way, I just received a call from ICAC. Now TVB general manager Liang Risi has been invited by ICAC to assist in the investigation because of some behaviors in the police force many years ago. How could Director Chu's company hire someone so carelessly? And I also heard that ICAC has already started to investigate the senior management of Jiaku, and wants to see if Liang Risi has been implicated. This means that I have a good relationship with Mr. Chu, so I violated the rules and told Chu about this matter. Dong you!"

  When Chu Huan saw Luo Bi, he finally took out his biggest trump card and smiled.

   This is the biggest problem that needs to be faced when money and power collide. The other party belongs to the specified rules, and the own side can only choose to act within their established rules.

   This is like a concept that was often mentioned in the Internet articles in the early years. Enchantment.

  In the enchantment, everything must be done according to the rules of the opponent, and it is impossible to win.

   There is a saying in "Shaolin Soccer": The referee, the ball certificate, the circumstantial evidence, the main board, and all the co-organizers are my people, how can you play with me!

  In Luo Bishi's view, the problem Chu Huan is facing now is just such a problem.

  But Chu Huan obviously has his own plan. It is true that he is doing these things in accordance with the rules they made, but there is one thing Chu Huan can take advantage of, that is, the development of the times.

   What are the two most powerful rules in fantasy fiction?

   Time, space!

   As a reborn person, Chu Huan's biggest golden finger is his understanding of the history of the times.

   And this can also be regarded as the time rule!

  A major event will happen this year, and this major event has already surpassed the rules of the Hong Kong government, and it is exactly what Chu Huan can use.

"Mr. Sir, it's too early to say this. Mr. Liang was only invited back to assist in the investigation, and he has not been sentenced. As for the matter of our senior management, I think ICAC's idea is impossible. As for Mr. Liang, it's 5:10 p.m., I think someone from ICAC will send our Mr. Liang back in person before 6:30 p.m.!"

  Chu Huan's answer made Luo Bishi stunned. He never thought that under the current situation, Chu Huan would be able to say these words so calmly and confidently.

   "Director Chu, are you kidding me?"

   "Are you kidding, I think you will know soon, Sir Sir!"

  Chu Huan still preached confidently.

  Luo Bishi was silent again, and finally said in a somewhat blunt tone: "So, today's matter, Director Chu, isn't planning to regress?"

  Chu Huan said: "I just said that there is a cliff behind me, and I can't retreat even a step!"

   "Since this is the case, then there is nothing more to say. I hope what Chairman Chu said will be successful!" After Luo Bishi finished speaking, he hung up the phone!

  Chu Huan also hung up the phone with a smile on his face.

  Cao Yunshang sat opposite Chu Huan and said, "Why didn't you tell Luo Bishi your plan? If that's the case, I think the other party will choose to give in this time!"

  Chu Huan waved his hand and said: "It's useless, they will only really feel the pain when the board hits them!"

  Cao Yunshang worried: "What can I do to help you now?"

Chu Huan said: "You have been here all day today. This is already the best help. Just watch the next thing carefully. I think in a few minutes, Luo Bishi and Xia Dingji will come to the company , and then it will be the final decisive battle.”

"Ok!"

Then Chu Huan picked up the phone again and dialed the number just after the decision was announced: "At 5:30, that is, when I announced the company's next decision, you have to cooperate with my time and start your business. s plan!"

   "No problem, Mr. Chu, don't worry, if it wasn't for my pressure, those people would be making trouble now!" The voice on the other side of the phone was also very excited.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "The time is coming, don't worry!"

"Ok!"

.

   "So Chu Huan is going to not back down even a single step?"

  After listening to Robert Bishi's description, Xia Dingji couldn't help preaching.

  Luo Bishi nodded and said, "That's right. Chu Huan said that there is a cliff behind him, and he won't take a step back!"

   "Still so arrogant, what support does he have?" Xia Dingji said incomprehensibly.

Even though Chu Huan had refuted their previous methods one by one, the ICAC alone was enough to plunge the entire Jiaku into the abyss, but Chu Huan still opposed their proposals so arrogantly, which made Xia Dingji Anyway, I can't figure it out at night.

Luo Bishi shook his head and said: "At this time, we don't have time to think about this matter. Now we must stop Chu Huan's next decision. I have a hunch that Chu Huan's next decision will be one of his trump cards, so we must Stop him!"

  Xia Dingji asked: "How to stop it?"

  Luo Bishi said: "Didn't Chu Huan say that ICAC would send Liang Risi back before 6:30? I'm going to let Chu Huan go to ICAC to accompany Liang Risi today. Let's see how he can get ICAC people to send them back!"

  Xia Dingji's heart was shocked. It's really time to understand Chu Huan?

   "What about the impact?" Although Xia Dingji had been thinking about bringing Chu Huan into the ICAC, but now that things were really going to be done, he still couldn't help but think about the impact.

Luo Bishi said confidently: "Although ICAC can't investigate anything about Chu Huan now, our goal is not to investigate Chu Huan, but to let ICAC people bring Chu Huan back to ICAC to persuade Liang Risi to confess to his previous affairs. No, is there a problem with this?"

   Naturally, there is no problem, and it is easy to explain to the public. The most important thing is to let Chu Huan understand that ICAC can take him away.

   "I'll call now!" Luo Bi immediately dialed ICAC without delay.

.

   Seeing that it was almost half past five, when Chu Huan was about to go to the studio, ICAC Chief Investigator Lu Zhilian brought his subordinates to the general manager's office of TVB.

   "Chairman, we." Paula looked at Chu Huan worriedly. They did stop Lu Zhilian and the others, but they didn't.

   "Mr. Chu, I'm very sorry. Because of the matter of your company's manager Liang Risi, our ICAC has been ordered to ask Mr. Chu to return to the joint signature with us to assist in the investigation. Please don't make it difficult for us!"

  Lu Zhilian looked calm, but in fact his heart was already in a mess. He really didn't want to do this, but he couldn't help it. He had to obey the orders from above.

  Cao Yunshang and others wanted to speak out, but were stopped by Chu Huan. At the same time, Qin Peng and others walked into the office at this time, standing in front of Chu Huan and forming a confrontation with Lu Zhilian and others.

  Chu Huan passed Qin Peng, walked up to Lu Zhilian, and said with a smile, "Investigator Lu, this is the first time we have met!"

   "That's right!" Lu Zhilian nodded and emphasized again: "Mr. Chu, please don't make it difficult for us."

Chu Huan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, but I still have a decision to announce on TV, it's only a few minutes, I don't think investigator Lu should be in such a hurry Bar?"

  Lu Zhilian said helplessly: "Mr. Chu, we are also following orders. The above said that you are not allowed to do anything, just follow us!"

Chu Huan said: "Then do you obey the orders of the above, or the laws of Xiangjiang? In addition, I can tell Investigator Lu that after my decision is finished, your orders will definitely be cancelled, and I think that when You people will also thank me that you are here and not in the ICAC building at this time!"

  Lu Zhilian wanted to say something else, but seeing more and more security personnel entering the office, he knew that it was impossible to take Chu Huan away at this time.

   "I hope you, Mr. Chu, can keep your word and come with us after the decision is announced!"

  Chu Huan smiled, "Don't worry, I'm afraid that I will go with you when the time comes, and your superiors won't do that either!"

  The subordinates around Lu Zhilian saw this and wanted to say something, but were stopped by Lu Zhilian. The situation at this time was actually beyond their capabilities.

   After Chu Huan finished speaking, he left the office and went to the studio!
