971 [Sudden call] on
Pattaya, rich residential area—
Under the dim light of the golden light, Song Zhichao leaned on the desk and wrote quickly.
This is a high-end villa that Song Zhichao bought directly after coming to Pattaya.
The former owner of the villa is the minister of the Pattaya Tourism Ministry. He was detained and investigated by the Pattaya government for suspected corruption. In order to raise money to save him, his family sold the villa at a low price.
The villa decoration is also very Thai, not to mention the magnificence, but even the stair handrails are gilded - Thais worship gold, and many people like to wear gold, and many people's decorations are also indispensable for gold decoration.
However, what Song Zhichao couldn't stand the most was that there were Buddha statues inside and outside the villa.
In the garden pool outside, there are big Buddhas with hands folded up, and the murals in the indoor living room are also colorful portraits of various Buddhas.
Song Zhichao has always been an atheist, and he does not believe in Buddhism or Jesus, so he doesn't catch a cold about these portraits. However, every time he returns home from outside, it feels like he returns to a temple, which makes him very embarrassed.
Now Song Zhichao is located in the study room of the villa. It is a large room with shelves and many books, and many of them are Chinese books rather than Thai, among which thread-bound books are mostly used.
The main reason why Song Zhichao wanted to buy this expensive villa was the study room and the large collection of ancient Chinese books in the study room.
Not to mention anything else, Song Zhichao also liked to collect ancient books in his previous life. After a brief look at these books, he knew that they were of great value. Among them, there are even Song and Ming versions of books that have been circulated from China's "Jigu Pavilion" and "Tianyi Pavilion" to Thailand.
In the future, it is known as "one page of Song Dynasty version and ten taels of gold" in the book collection industry, which shows that these ancient books are of great value and are incalculable.
But these Thais are so elegant and do not know the goods, and they completely treat these good things as decorations.
However, after moving into this villa, what surprised Song Zhichao the most was that there was a dark room hidden in the study.
That's right, it's a dark room. Just like the movies, turning a vase or twitching a book will creakingly open a secret door, and when you enter it, it will be a dark room.
The dark room in the study was not big, but the items hidden inside made Song Zhichao feel a little moved because most of the hidden ones were gold.
A rough calculation shows that these golds weigh about a few thousand pounds and are worth about 300,000 US dollars. Many of them still record the origin of these golds.
It can be seen that the Minister of Tourism was a crazy gold lover who had accepted bribes a lot and recorded the process of accepting bribes.
As for why this dark room was not discovered, the reason may be that the Tourism Minister, who became a prisoner, had not had time to transfer and had not had time to explain to his family. In addition, he was afraid that the police would find out about this matter, and he might have to be in jail for a few more years.
Of course, there may be other reasons. In short, Song Zhichao bought this villa this time and found a big leak.
...
At this moment, Song Zhichao was writing "The Hidden Challenges and Opportunities of the Financial Crisis" at his desk, preparing to come in handy in a few months. This is the top priority of his preparations, and even if he racks his brains, he must write a good article.
?? "Lingling" and the phone suddenly rang on the table next to it - this phone was also installed by the owner of the front villa. It belongs to the retro mode, with a manual dialing landline. In addition, it is also gilded, and golden cancan gives people a nouveau riche.
??Song Zhichao put down his pen, rubbed his slightly sore arms, walked to the table and answered the phone. The humble voice of Sha Kun, general manager of Hurricane Entertainment, came from the microphone: "Boss, haven't you disturbed you?"
Song Zhichao smiled and said, "It's okay, what's the matter to report?"
Sha Kun explained the reason for calling on the other end of the phone.
It turned out that since Song Zhichao visited the big boss Niu Xiong last time, he advised Niu Xiong to cheer up and start learning to manage his business, and not to make a living by relying on his fists.
After being stimulated by Song Zhichao, Niu Xiong woke up. After leaving the hospital, he ran to the club to find Sha Kun, asking him to learn business by his side and manage the company's eighteen boxing businesses.
Sha Kun couldn't ask for it.
You know, Sha Kun was just a disabled and dead cripple at the beginning, and Song Zhichao raised him up and became the boss of Hurricane Company.
But Sha Kun was always nervous. After all, he was not Song Zhichao's confidant, and he might have been abandoned by Song Zhichao if he did something wrong one day. In addition, Song Zhichao did not put eyeliners around him, and basically ignored him, which made Sha Kun feel more of a sense of crisis that he would be knocked out at any time.
But now it is different. Niu Xiong suddenly came to ask to learn from him, which made Sha Kun's eyes lit up, as if he saw a ray of light.
As long as Song Zhichao is willing to install someone in Hurricane Company, it means that he still attaches great importance to himself and is willing to let others learn from him, it means that he still trusts him very much.
Therefore, Sha Kun called at the first time, on the surface he was asking for Song Zhichao's opinions, but in fact he was "taking credit".
Sure enough, Song Zhichao was very happy after hearing this. He felt that this big guy, Niu Xiong, had finally made a fortune. He no longer lived a carefree life, nor did he waste his time bringing him from Hong Kong to Thailand.
After praising Sha Kun for a while, Song Zhichao pondered for a moment and told Sha Kun not to hand over all the work in the boxing field to Niu Xiong, and to proceed step by step, and to make good foreign exchange reserves in the boxing field, remember one sentence, exchange US dollars! Exchange all income into US dollars! If there is no US dollars, exchange it into gold!
Sha Kun didn't know why his boss Song Zhichao was so obsessed with US dollars, but the boxing ring business was good, and many of those foreigners used US dollars to check out; in addition, there was not much in Thailand, but a lot of gold. When you walk on the street, you can see people carrying gold amulets, gold bracelets, and many of them were inlaid with gold teeth. Since the boss liked US dollars and gold, of course, he had to satisfy him as a subordinate.
...
After hanging up the phone, Song Zhichao was about to start writing again, but the phone he put down rang again.
Song Zhichao frowned and picked up the phone again—
A slightly drunk female voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Is it Song Zhichao? I am Yan Susu, uh, sorry, I have drunk too much wine."
Song Zhichao: "If you are drunk and get crazy after drinking, I will not be able to accompany you."
After Song Zhichao finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Don't, don't ignore me, don't hang up my phone." Yan Susu begged on the other end of the phone.
Song Zhichao held the microphone and said, "What are you going to say?" He said indifferently.
"That..." Yan Susu pondered on the other end of the phone and said, "Can you come here? I want to see you."
Song Zhichao: “…”
No sound.
Yan Susu on the other end of the phone said again: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to thank you, especially my brother's affairs--"
It turned out that Yan Susu had a half-brother named "Gao Fei". Not long ago, the police were arrested by the police for beating people. After Song Zhichao found out the details of Yan Susu, he spent some money and took him out.
Although Yan Susu and Gao Fei are half-siblings, their relationship is very good. Especially after their mother Cai Wenxiu passed away, the two siblings depend on each other. It can be said that Song Zhichao's favor hit her weakness.
Song Zhichao paused for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go there later."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Looking at the hanging-up call, Song Zhichao habitually wanted to touch a cigarette to smoke, but remembered that he was quitting smoking, so he took out the coin and played with it in his hand. His eyes flashed, but his face seemed to be thinking.
For him, he didn't believe that Yan Susu just wanted to show his gratitude when he met him.
