This phone number was relatively unfamiliar, and the person who called him even surprised Zhuang Rui. Listening to the slightly lazy voice on the phone, the figure of the fourth wife appeared in front of his eyes.
"Mr. Zhuang, it's not easy to find you..." the fourth wife's slightly reproachful voice came from the mobile phone.
"Ahem, Fourth Wife, I've been quite busy lately. Did you ask me...what do you want?"
Zhuang Rui didn't want to get too close to the Macau gambling kings. It seemed that every time he dealt with them, he would always get into some trouble.
Let’s not talk about the fact that the fourth child was tricked into losing hundreds of millions in Macau. How could he encounter a terrorist incident even if he helped them gamble? Now Zhuang Rui is still distressed about the authentic Xuande furnace.
"I can't call you if I have nothing to do? Mr. Zhuang doesn't want to answer my call?"
Hearing the fourth wife's voice, Zhuang Rui felt a chill all over his body. Please, if you were twenty years younger, maybe it would be more appropriate to speak in this tone.
"Well, Fourth Wife, I've been really busy recently. If nothing happens, let's just do this for now..."
Zhuang Rui wanted to hang up the phone as he spoke. Although he still held 10% of the shares in this new gambling company in Macau, Zhuang Rui was left to Huangfu Yun to take care of it. He had never asked about it and did not want to
Went to ask.
"No, Mr. Zhuang, I'm not so annoying, am I?"
The fourth wife's resentful voice came out, as if she was really afraid that Zhuang Rui would hang up the phone, and then said: "Mr. Zhuang, our new company will open next Saturday. As a major shareholder, you must attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony..."
The fourth wife was also embarrassed to make this call, because this company belonged entirely to her and had been divided from the Du Wang's property. However, in this way, she would not be able to enjoy many of Du Wang's resources.
The reason why she had the courage to invite Zhuang Rui was that the fourth wife was afraid that someone would come and cause trouble on the opening day. Now she only invited a former gambling king as the technical director of the casino. She felt really uneasy. After thinking about it,
It's better to invite Zhuang Rui to calm down the situation.
You know, although the gambling card dispute in Las Vegas has passed for some time, Zhuang Rui's reputation in the world's gambling world is still at its peak, and has even become a legend in the gambling world.
During these days in China, Zhuang Rui had been subjected to various harassments. Some casinos held various gambling competitions and invited him to participate. Zhuang Rui was very annoyed by this, so his attitude towards the fourth wife was not that good.
friendly.
Zhuang Rui had no consciousness of being a shareholder of a new gambling company, and said: "Fourth wife, I have fully authorized my lawyer, Mr. Huangfu Yun, to attend the casino on my behalf..."
Since he really couldn't let go of the company shares given to him by his fourth wife before, although Zhuang Rui took over the 10%, it was not a dry stock because Zhuang Rui invested all the hundreds of millions of dollars he had won in the United States.
Go in.
If this money had not been invested in the new casino in Macau, when Ouyang Zhenwu mentioned the 1.5 billion earlier, Zhuang Rui could have easily taken it out.
Zhuang Rui did this because he didn't want to cause a lot of trouble in the future because he took 10% of the dry shares, so after injecting real money, he and his fourth wife also made an agreement that he would only take the dividends and would not interfere with the casino.
Anything, including disputes such as being kicked out of a casino.
"Mr. Zhuang, when the company is opening for business, it's not very good if you, as a shareholder, don't come. How about... I ask Mr. He to call you?"
After the fourth wife heard Zhuang Rui's insistent words, she had no choice but to move the gambling king out.
"No, Mr. He is so old, how can this junior be worthy of his call? Okay, I'll spend a day there then..."
Zhuang Rui was a little worried about Mr. He. As the saying goes, people become better with age. Don't look at that person who is in a daze all day long. If he plots people, he will definitely kill people invisibly.
After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, the fourth wife said with a sweet voice: "You don't have to force it, it's just an opening ceremony. By the way, the three new companies that have competed for the gambling license this time will be held jointly with the Hong Kong Jockey Club.
A horse race is a grand event in Hong Kong and Macao..."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely participate..."
Zhuang Rui responded perfunctorily. He just wanted to end the call quickly. What does it have to do with him whether there is a horse race or not? Zhuang Rui might as well spend that time at home with his wife and children. Speaking of these two
Yue was suffocating him.
But Zhuang Rui doesn't know that Hong Kong horse racing is indeed a very influential event, at least in Hong Kong and Macao.
Gambling is illegal in Hong Kong, but horse racing is the only legal, largest, most far-reaching, and most popular gambling activity in Hong Kong. It has become an indispensable part of the lives of Hong Kong citizens.
On every horse racing day, wealthy businessmen, officials, white-collar workers, ordinary citizens, and even passers-by from all over the world come in droves to experience the crazy atmosphere on the racecourse and to try their luck.
As horse racing activities become increasingly popular, a group of "horse experts" have emerged in Hong Kong who specialize in "horse racing". Newspapers, radio and television stations also have "horse racing" columns or special programs.
It can be said that apart from Jockey Clubs and jockeys, those who benefit the most from horse racing activities are these "horse experts" who make a living by "talking about horses" and "reviewing horses".
When Zhuang Rui went to Hong Kong before, he didn't understand that there were often programs on Hong Kong TV that talked about horse racing, and even Qin Xuanbing, who never liked gambling, watched them with gusto.
…
The fourth wife's call only made Zhuang Rui feel a little annoyed, but this annoyance was soon forgotten by him, because a press conference on the excavation of Genghis Khan's tomb was about to be held.
Relevant departments also attach great importance to this national excavation. The press conference was held in a conference room in the Great Hall of the People that can accommodate more than 200 media at the same time. The standards are very high.
In addition to the major domestic media, more than 100 foreign media have applied to participate in this press conference. In other words, this press conference on the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan will be held in more than 100 countries around the world at the same time.
Live broadcast within the range.
"I said, can we not put on makeup? Why are there still things on our faces?"
In a room in the Great Hall of the People, he sat in front of the mirror with a sad look on his face, while a "person" whose gender was absolutely indistinguishable from his face was applying foundation to Zhuang Rui.
"Xiaozhuang, we represent the image of the country. Look, I'm over 40 years old. Do I still need to put on makeup? Xiaomi has good skills and won't give you graffiti..."
Sitting next to Zhuang Rui is a middle-aged man in his forties. He is also the spokesperson sent by the Ministry of Culture. Zhuang Rui has been discussing the press conference with Director Liu all morning.
problems encountered while proceeding.
"Damn it, if I knew that my son would grow up to be like this, I would probably strangle him to death..."
Zhuang Rui glanced in the mirror at the "person" whose stage name was "Minnie" but had a flat chest and no Adam's apple. He quickly closed his eyes, fearing that he would vomit if he couldn't stand it after seeing it too much.
You said that a big man insists on dressing up in such a gender-neutral look. Just now he pointed his orchid finger and said that Zhuang Rui had good skin. If he hadn't known that he was a makeup artist, Zhuang Rui would have punched him.
"Okay, I don't want this, Old Liu. If you want to use this thing for me, you can go to the press conference today..."
Seeing that Minnie holding a lipstick, Zhuang Rui completely went berserk. Is this a press conference or a masquerade party? It's not such a torturous thing.
"Cheng, Cheng, Xiaomi, it's okay..."
Director Liu was used to this, so he suppressed his laughter and stopped the makeup artist and said: "Xiao Zhuang, remember, when reporters ask questions, you must slow down your answers so that you have time.
Think carefully about your sentences so as not to say something you shouldn't say..."
Taking advantage of the opportunity of putting on makeup, Director Liu imparted some relevant experience to Zhuang Rui, because Zhuang Rui, who has never experienced a press conference, is likely to say some inappropriate words when he is nervous. This is the case for all press conferences.
taboo.
"Don't worry, Director Liu. If you don't know how to answer, I won't say anything..."
Zhuang Rui nodded. He was not a newbie. Besides, he attended this press conference as the discoverer of Genghis Khan's mausoleum. He could be presumed to be ignorant of the subsequent archaeological discoveries.
"Let's go, it's almost time..." Director Liu looked at his watch, stood up and walked outside.
"My dear, this scene is really quite big..."
After entering the press conference venue, Zhuang Rui and Director Liu sat in front of the prepared seats. Behind them was a projector screen, and in front of them were densely packed heads and various weapons.
"Ahem, all media reporters are welcome to attend this reception..."
After speaking in official language, Director Liu directly brought the topic to the main topic, "The purpose of convening all friends from the media this time is to announce a major archaeological discovery in our country. Just two months ago, in our Inner Mongolia region, a
After research, it was found that this was the tomb of Temujin, the founding Khan of the Mongolian Khanate who lived from 1162 to 1227 AD..."
"Is it really the Mausoleum of Genghis Khan?"
"Is there any mistake? Didn't it say Genghis Khan's Mausoleum in Outer Mongolia?"
"Evidence, we need evidence..."
In the information previously released by the official, it was only said that this was a mausoleum of a Mongolian emperor. As soon as Director Liu finished speaking, the entire venue became excited.
You must know that Genghis Khan's influence went far beyond the establishment of the Mongol Khanate. The era he created changed the entire world structure at that time.
