Chapter 018 Planning
Xiujing, who was sitting next to Zheng Xiuheng on the left in the taxi, looked at the number displayed on the mobile phone screen, hurriedly put her finger to her mouth, and reminded nervously.
Zheng Xiuheng smiled, gently scratched her little nose, and said nothing more, indicating that he understood.
When Krystal was having her nose scratched, she gave her brother an unhappy look before answering the phone.
"Hello, is this Ernie?"
"Xiu-jung, where are you? Are you still in school?"
"Uh, he's gone. I'm with Snowball now!"
"How was the exam?"
"It's okay, unnie, is there anything wrong? Your tone seems a little strange?" Krystal asked with some confusion. Her sister's voice sounded as if she was very happy.
Zheng Xiujing was indeed a little excited: "Xiujing, when will you come back? Ouni will take you to eat delicious food!"
“Ah? Unnie? You wouldn’t…”
"Um?"
"You're still asleep?"
“…”
"Idiot, what nonsense are you talking about? Of course there is something good to celebrate. Your sister has passed the preliminary selection again, and this is the last time. From now on, she will be training with the goal of debuting next year. Although there will still be elimination spots, I believe I can succeed and will definitely not be eliminated, so I want to celebrate. You should come back soon. By the way, call Shirley as well!"
Zheng Xiujing's eyes widened in surprise, and then she said with some surprise: "That's great , congratulations, but if we want to celebrate... can we invite our brother to come along?"
“…”
"I told you not to mention that person in front of me. I don't want to quarrel with you anymore!"
"Oh! Then unnie, just wait for us to come back in the evening!"
"Why did you come back at night? Where are you now?"
"Us? We're in a taxi now, heading to Lotte World. We're finally on holiday, so we'll have a great day today. So, unnie, wait for us to come back in the evening to celebrate!"
"Well, be safe. Call me if you have any problem. We'll celebrate tonight!"
"Well, then, unnie, I'll hang up first, okay?"
"Well, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
“Beep, beep, beep!”
"Huh!" He let out a long breath, feeling as if he had finished a war.
Zheng Xiuheng said with a smile: "Is it that scary? I think you said it very naturally."
Zheng Xiujing slapped away the big hand that was touching her hair in dissatisfaction and said angrily, "That's because unnie is always suspicious, and I don't want to quarrel with her, so of course I have to use acting to fool her. It was my brother who didn't let me tell unnie. It's been two years now, can't I tell her?"
Zheng Xiujing's words sounded casual, but the expectation in her eyes made Zheng Xiuheng unable to look directly at her. If it was two hours ago, maybe he would nod, but not now.
Credit company... sounds good, but the credit company established by Zheng Qilong is not a formal personal credit at all. In reality, although it is a credit company, it is more like a loan shark, but the interest rate is not as terrible as that of real loan sharks.
Of course, this is not because Zheng Qilong is moral, nor because he thinks the money is too much, but the fundamental reason why he founded Chenlong Credit is not to make money.
Zheng Xiuheng heard from those people in the Dong faction that Zheng Qilong's credit company conducted business in the entertainment industry, but its fundamental target was women.
To put it bluntly, they want to control some female artists by means of lending money. Of course, it is impossible to control first-tier female artists, and it is not practical. It is enough to control some third-tier female artists. And why control female artists? Is there any need to say more?
Zheng Qilong helped the Han family look after many places and received many upper-class people. It was not strange for him to help some people to play with small stars. Moreover, he did not exchange money for these small artists. When choosing to lend money, he would naturally look at the other party's financial ability. Even if they did not have financial ability, he would also look at whether they had real estate and so on.
So the loan was not made randomly, and Zheng Qilong did not only lend money to women. In this circle, he naturally had his own set of rules. Zheng Qilong's company had just started, and in fact, the business had not yet started. He wanted to control some inferior female artists, but he just wanted to make friends with some capable second-generation rich people. No one wanted to hang himself on a tree.
Although the Han family is indeed very powerful to Zheng Qilong, Zheng Qilong is not really an idiot. He also knows that the real power of the Han family lies in its support for the Li family.
The higher the position of a gangster, the more afraid he is. He is afraid that everything he has now will be lost. Therefore, turning from gangster to white is the dream of most big guys.
Unfortunately, most people failed, including Zheng Qilong.
Since Zheng Xiuheng has made the decision to take over the company, his future path has been determined. It is a good idea to control some people in the entertainment industry by lending.
However, controlling third-rate female artists is a bit too childish. The best way would be to control some directors, PDs, and screenwriters.
As for how to control it, this is a bit troublesome. The most common method is to induce gambling, followed by fraud and investment in the form of loans...
Either way, it won't be too clean.
Zheng Xiuheng doesn't have any definite ideas or plans yet, but the direction of the entertainment industry has been decided. He is not sure how far he can go, but since he has made this choice, Zheng Xiuheng's life will naturally not be sunny.
And the trouble is not over yet. This company belongs to Zheng Qilong. Although it is registered under the name of Li Zaiyuan, most people in Samlongdong know about this company, and the funds were also provided by Zheng Qilong. Since there are still six external accounts outside, now that Zheng Qilong is dead, it means that whoever holds the contract to collect the money will own it.
Today, only Li Zaiyuan, Jin Guanglu and Lin Dazhong took the lead. Who knows if there will be any fish that slipped through the net and came to the door tomorrow? In addition, how can such a loan be loaned out with just a few people? What about the method of collecting the payment, etc.
And the most important thing is that since Zheng Xiuheng has chosen this path, there is one thing he must accomplish.
The person who killed Li Xiaole.
Zheng Xiuheng thought he could return to the sunshine and live a good life with his sisters, so he chose to give up the investigation and revenge. But now everything has changed. In this case, this matter must be investigated thoroughly.
Faced with such a choice, Zheng Xiuheng did not want his sisters to have anything to do with him, at least not on the surface, especially for those sisters who wanted to become artists.
But unfortunately, Soo-jung knew about her affairs from the beginning, so she had no choice but to keep it secret from Soo-yeon.
Zheng Xiuheng was thinking about a lot of things at once, his mind was in a mess, and he sat in the taxi with a stiff face. Others couldn't tell what he was thinking.
"Brother, brother? Brother!"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
"Puchi, how come Brother Xiuheng is just as absent-minded as unnie Sooyeon?" Choi Sulli said with a smile at the side. Her bright smile made Zheng Xiuheng come back to his senses a little.
"Well, forget it. Let's first think of a way to collect those debts. Without money let alone lending money for business, even eating will become a problem. As for the Three Dragon Cave, it's not a difficult matter."
Solving the Three Dragon Cave problem is actually very simple. Facing a semi- collapsed cave sect, even if these people are released, they will definitely prioritize sticking together. But talking about loyalty with the gang members? That's pure idiocy.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't care about those so-called bosses and big brothers at all. On the contrary, he was looking forward to them gathering people to go to the company so that he wouldn't have to waste too much time.
Zheng Xiuheng estimated that there would be 300 to 500 million yuan for the six accounts, or maybe more. He didn't need too much, not to mention 100 million yuan, just 50 million yuan to distribute to the younger brothers at the bottom. All the loyalty and big brotherhood were just empty talk. On the contrary, Zheng Xiuheng could use this to gather more people.
He spent two years in Sanlong Cave and saw clearly that many people who were out there were doing it for money. Moreover, most of them were born in a bad family, or had extreme personalities and were aggressive and aggressive, so they had no choice but to take this path. Especially people like Jin Guanglu, who could lose face for a little money. Although he looked fierce, he was actually very timid.
But everyone has their own strengths. Jin Guanglu is good at talking and knows many low-level henchmen in the Dong faction; Lin Dazhong is good-looking and knows many women; and Li Zaiyuan is the smartest and seems to be an uncle with a story. With the three of them, plus himself, Zheng Xiuheng believes that this matter can be solved. But if he is missing, these three guys will definitely not be able to calm down the old generation who escaped the disaster.
The only trouble is the people behind Zheng Qilong. But the road must be taken step by step. Now Zheng Xiuheng has to recruit people, collect debts, and get the first sum of money, because it is not an exaggeration to describe him as a pauper now.
Having made a temporary decision, Zheng Xiuheng kept these things deep in his heart and a smile appeared on his face again.
