Huayu: From charlatan to great entertainer

Chapter 143 Xiao Liu informs
On December 2002, 12, Lu Kuan received a call from Liu Yifei while on the Taoyuan set.

"What's wrong?"

"Hello? Why don't you speak?"

Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone was twisting her clothes tightly with one hand, feeling a little embarrassed.

If she didn't feel that there was something fishy going on, she really didn't want Lu Kuan to know the news.

Even though she has already shown a coldness that keeps people at a distance.

"Yesterday...Yesterday Liu Zeyu came to the crew."

Boss Lu flicked the ash from his cigarette and said, "Go on."

"No, I just came and left. I met that bad guy in Venice with Wang Xiaolei from Huayi."

"Oh, him, did Cheng Jingfei and Aunt Liu tell you anything?"

Concubine Liu Yi thought about it and realized that there was indeed not much useful information.

"They invited the crew to dinner that night. Wang Xiaolei said that Huayi, Zhou Xingchi, and Columbia will be co-producing a film next year, and he wanted to invite me to audition."

Boss Lu sneered, thinking that what he should be talking about was "Kung Fu". The young master must be showing off by making big promises at the dinner table again.

However, this movie was really popular and had good market performance.

"That's nothing. You're so popular now, wouldn't it be nice if someone invited you to film a movie?"

Concubine Liu Yi was furious, you bastard, are you sincere?
"I won't act!"

Boss Lu continued to tease her: "You are an artist of Red Star Wood. You have to make money for the company. How can you just go on strike?"

The little girl snorted coldly: "Anyway, I've told you everything, you can do whatever you want."

"Also, I heard Mom and Godfather talking on the phone. They had a few arguments on the phone."

"This Liu Zeyu came to Dali, maybe because of his godfather."

Boss Lu remained noncommittal. Cheng Jingfei was the one he had kicked out in the first place, and this news was just another red mark on his death sentence.

"Your crew was having dinner, and Zhang Jizhong showed up, right? What was his reaction?"

Concubine Liu Yi thought for a while and said, "He's just smiling. You don't know him yet. He doesn't offend anyone."

Boss Lu crushed the cigarette butt with his feet.

Don't offend anyone?
That means everyone is offended.

Zhang Jizhong knew everything about the grudge between him and Liu Zeyu, but he hadn't called him for such a long time. If it weren't for Liu Yifei, he would still be in the dark.

Big Beard, you are destined to die.

"Okay, I get it."

"Get ready. We'll set off together from Peking at the end of the month."

Concubine Liu Yi became excited at the thought of traveling with Lu Kuan.

"OK, all right!"

The North American rights to "Whiplash" were sold to Harvey, and the Jewish An Lushan used his connections to get an invitation from the Sundance Film Festival.

Lu Kuan will take the film to the Sundance Film Festival in January 2003.

The film has already premiered in Venice and has been released in domestic theaters. Of course, this time it will only participate in the non-competitive unit at Sundance.

Purely to cooperate with Harvey's publicity.

At the same time, the crew of "Shoplifters" will also wrap up filming in two days, which took less than two months, and took more than ten days more than the original filming.

I took advantage of the break between post-production and editing to visit the United States.

On the one hand, he went to Hollywood to set up a company as a preliminary preparation for entering the North American market in the future. On the other hand, he went to various film schools and small special effects companies to discover some Chinese special effects talents.

On the one hand, in order to help Liu Yifei complete the process of derecognition, Liu Xiaoli had to return to Wuhan to handle the relevant procedures, and then go to the United States with her ex-husband Ankang to assist in the process.

Until they returned to the hotel after the show in the evening, there was no word from Zhang Jizhong and Cheng Jingfei.

Lu Kuan is more cautious and suspicious than Cao Ze, so it is hard for him not to get to the bottom of the strangeness here.

Wasn't it enough that Cheng Jingfei got slapped in the face by me at the wrap party last time? He even dared to play these little tricks on me.

Thinking of the disputes between them from Liu Yifei's endorsement to his denaturalization, Lu Kuan took out his phone and made a call.

"Hey, brother, are you busy?"

Zhuang Xu on the other end of the line yelled, "How dare you ask me if I'm busy? Blog.com has grown so big, and you haven't even mentioned poaching more people!"

"I haven't been home for several days!"

He had persuaded Zhuang Xu to officially resign and start his own business, serving as the president of Blog.com, temporarily taking his place.

Wang Xing is a rebellious person and is not someone who can be easily persuaded. Sooner or later, we will part ways.

With an old fox named Zhuang Xu who has been working in CICC for many years keeping an eye on him, the suspicious Boss Lu felt more at ease.

Lu Kuan smiled a few times before getting to the point.

"Brother, please help me find a hacker. I want to check some information."

"Searching for information? And you need hackers? Are you going to Zhongnanhai or the Pentagon?"

This bastard threw all the problems onto me, and every time I call him it's a hassle.

From the beginning of the fraudulent company to ask the world, now all to the hackers. Road wide, you can really criminal!
Boss Lu briefly described to him the relevant matters of Cheng Jingfei and Hongxingwu and raised his own questions.

"He's a vacillating businessman who never gets anything done without profit. If he dares to touch my tiger's whiskers, there must be something fishy going on."

He hasn't talked about Zhang Jizhong yet, but it's obvious that he was also lured by Liu Zeyu or Wang Xiaolei.

Zhuang Xu agreed with his judgment: "What do you want to do?"

"Help me find a hacker in the company or society. I want to see his real estate company's recent financial transactions and contract documents."

Liu Zeyu's attempt to win over Cheng Jingfei was simply to take advantage of his father's influence. If there was any problem, it would be in the real estate business.

Zhuang Xu and he grew up together and are as close as brothers, so of course he firmly supports him.

However, Lu Kuan's actions were becoming more and more treacherous and unpredictable. The last time he was almost ambushed by Lu Changchun was already a bad omen.

"On a small path, win by surprise, and achieve success by the right path. Don't be too calculating."

Boss Lu was startled, but he knew Zhuang Xu meant well.

"Don't worry, brother, it's okay. If you're worried, I'll lend you Ah Fei for a few days."

"Go away! Wait for news."

"okay!"

Zhuang Xu was very efficient. The next morning, Lu Kuan activated the proxy and downloaded several files from the mailbox.

Thanks to the weak awareness of network security these days, the information was obtained effortlessly.

However, since financial data and contract texts are all kept offline these days, he was only able to obtain information on a few contract texts.

Boss Lu carefully read it over and over again several times, then he closed the window and quit the agency with a sigh.

What a vicious plan!
Liu Zeyu introduced Cheng Jingfei to invest in the real estate project, with a huge investment of 12 million yuan in exchange for a % share of the real estate-related project.

The investment was agreed to be paid to the relevant departments in the form of land transfer fees to facilitate the lifting of the ban on the land.

Apart from the instigator, perhaps Lu Kuan is the only one in this world who knows that the 150 million yuan and the two parties involved are just victims.

Lu Kuan was just thinking about how to kick Cheng Jingfei out, but he didn't expect that Liu Zeyu's bloody mouth was also trying to swallow him.

Later generations were in a period of chaos and Cheng Jingfei was imprisoned.

The whole situation is now very clear.

Book friends who have worked in the construction and real estate industries should have heard of the 831 deadline, which was Order No. 71 of that year.

In short, this policy requires that after August 2004, 8, land transfers must be carried out through the bidding and auction system, and agreement transfers are not allowed.

Let’s go back to the trap that Cheng Jingfei is about to fall into.

He introduced Cheng Jingfei to invest in this prime location, which was actually a complete pig-killing scheme.

After paying 5400 million yuan in transfer fees at the end of last year, the company is no longer able to complete the remaining investment.

If he cannot pay the land transfer fee in full before that, the land will be reclaimed and put into the bidding and auction system again.

This point in time in later generations was indeed when the funding chain of the land parcel was broken and it was in turmoil.

The appearance of Cheng Jingfei perfectly played the role of the savior.

The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it. Mr. Liu's goal is to win everything and catch these two people in the trap.

In order to fully understand Liu Yifei's subsequent acting career and then bite off a piece of fat meat!
However, in the fourth quarter of 2003, the funding chain of the land parcel broke and the project was completely abandoned.

When Zhuang Xu called, the brothers started to plot again.

"This pig-killing scheme is really just for the fat pigs. Anyone without hundreds of millions of dollars in assets can't participate."

Zhuang Xu was amazed and gained a deeper understanding of the turbulent situation.

Boss Lu also shook his head repeatedly: "There's no such thing as a free lunch. An old sailor like Cheng Jingfei who has fought in the business world knows this."

"It's just that he was set up by two people who looked glamorous and colluded with each other, and he thought he had gained all this in exchange for Concubine Liu Yi and Red Star Cottage."

Cheng Jingfei is now in this situation only because he is in this mountain.

It’s like if a Taobao store seller in the future suddenly received an invitation from Ma Yun to buy shares, it would be difficult for anyone to resist the urge to take a gamble.

But just from this incident, we can see that Cheng Jingfei's love for Concubine Liu Yi was far from the love a godfather has for his daughter.

He has a way to die.

Even if the young yamenei didn't take action, Lu Kuan would not let him go.

"what should we do?"

The 831 deadline was a decree issued by the Ministry of Land and Resources in 2004. At that time, there were only occasional rumors about it, and Zhuang Xu certainly didn't know about it.

Boss Lu said with a smile, "Watch the show. If you have a chance to get involved, add fuel to the fire."

"Doesn't Liu Zeyu want shares in Red Star Wu? Who knows, maybe next year he really kills Cheng Jingfei, and then I'll sell the shares to him!"

Zhuang Xu was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Blessings and infinite blessings, Senior Brother, I'm going to film."

There was a dead tone on the other end of the line. Zhuang Xu had no idea what tricks his junior brother had come up with, but he was determined not to suffer any loss.
