Xu Qian's eyes widened. It was worth several billion dollars. If it was conservatively calculated as 6 billion, it would be nearly 50 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Then I thought, the bigger the money involved, the more beneficial it would be for him. I hope Brother Yi will not give in.
Zheng Yaoyang came to the interrogation room and met Wade.
He is currently just a suspect, not a criminal, and with Lao Li and Lao Zheng as guarantees, the Police Headquarters does not dare to treat him as an ordinary prisoner.
Zheng Yaoyang looked at Xu Qian: "Sir Xu, I would like to apply for a half-hour conversation with Mr. Wade."
Xiangjiang's legal system is very good. It basically follows the European and American legal framework, and then makes small-scale localized improvements.
European and American legal systems are also very good and pay great attention to human rights. Even the most vicious criminals have human rights and freedoms.
Private solitude without a recording environment, even if the recording is recorded, cannot be used as court evidence, it is the basic human right of every suspect.
Xu Qian nodded. Zheng Yaoyang's request was reasonable, and he immediately withdrew the accompanying police officers and turned off all audio and video equipment.
In the empty interrogation room, only Zheng Yaoyang Wade and a lawyer named Kang Jiajun were left.
"Wade, how are you doing lately?"
Zheng Yaoyang handed over a cigar and said with a smile: "Your favorite Cuban Cohiba."
“Not bad, every day is exciting.”
Wade picked up the cigar without lighting it, but just put it under his nose and smelled the aroma of tobacco.
After a while, he looked up at the lawyer and then at the surveillance equipment in the corner.
Zheng Yaoyang said: "It has been closed."
The lawyer also sensed this and took the initiative to tilt his head to one side.
Wade picked up the pen and paper on the table and wrote a string of codes on it: "I have given the secret key to Mr. He."
Zheng Yaoyang spent a lot of effort and asked Zheng Yutong from Lijiacheng and Lao He from the proud family to go to London in person and bring him back to Xiangjiang.
During this period, he did not ask about the financial status, which showed his full trust in him.
According to an old Chinese proverb, he should reciprocate the favor so that Zheng Yaoyang could do business with those investors.
Wade didn't carry tens of billions of dollars with him, and handed over the secret key to the proud Lao He very early.
It's not enough to have a secret key. You also need a 24-digit password, which is the number he wrote to Zheng Yaoyang.
Zheng Yaoyang showed a satisfied smile, put away the note, raised his eyes and asked Kang Junjia: "Mr. Wade, when can I be acquitted?"
Kang Junjia pondered for a moment and hurriedly talked about the current situation and the biggest difficulty he faced.
The charges Interpol placed on Wade were completely groundless and there was no evidence at all.
As long as the police officer can be made to relent, the remaining detention time will not exceed 18 hours at the latest.
"Wade, then you should have a good night's rest inside and I'll bring you out tomorrow."
Zheng Yaoyang patted Wade on the shoulder to reassure him, left the interrogation room and went directly to the director's office.
He and Li Zheju met the old foreigner just now. Zheng Yaoyang said calmly: "Mr. Desider, when can I take Wade away?"
Desider didn't look good and spoke in an official tone: "Mr. Zheng, Interpol is coming tomorrow, and there is nothing I can do."
Zheng Yaoyang laughed in astonishment: "Mr. David, I hope you can think about it carefully and never make any unwise decisions."
David scolded with a cold face: "Mr. Zheng, please pay attention to the attitude of your words. I may regard your words as a verbal threat."
"Actually, I'm curious, what benefits do they give you, and is it worth it?" Zheng Yaoyang asked.
David said solemnly: "Mr. Zheng, we enforce the law impartially. I don't understand what you mean."
"I think Mr. David, you don't know why Wade is wanted, right?"
Zheng Yaoyang's smile remained unchanged, and he slowly talked about why Wade was wanted by the United States.
Because according to his understanding, David can retire and return to China for retirement as long as he survives three years stably.
I must have made a lot of money over the years, and it would be a very unwise choice to offend them at this time.
When David heard this, his pupils subconsciously dilated, and he accidentally spilled a few drops of water from the water glass.
The funds involved amount to tens of billions of dollars?
Zheng Yaoyang seemed to see his hesitation and chuckled: "Mr. David, I hope you can consider my proposal carefully. I will come again tomorrow."
David has been sitting in this position for five years. If you want some dirty information about him, let him step down. Don't make it too simple.
But Zheng Yaoyang felt that although there were some minor frictions in the past, they would not lead to a fight to the death.
Because whether it is giving or receiving bribes, it is an unspoken rule that everyone understands.
Once the unspoken rules are broken, the next person may be more ruthless, so for the remaining few years, everyone wants to make money in peace and silently abide by the rules.
Compared with two years ago, Zheng Yaoyang learned to reason and achieve the goal of subduing others without fighting.
He let David know that this matter involved a lot of money, and he should find a step for him to step down next.
After leaving the Police Headquarters, Zheng Yaoyang went to the Universal Building in Kowloon and came to the door of Zhou Xiaolin's office.
Hearing from the assistant outside the door that Zhou Xiaolin was still busy with work, Zheng Yaoyang quietly walked in and walked around behind Zhou Xiaolin.
Suddenly he hugged her, kissed her cheek, and asked with a smile: "What have you been busy with recently?"
Zhou Xiaolin was startled when she found out it was Zheng Yaoyang, and she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's the end of the year, and I have to explain to investors again."
Once a company is listed, it will no longer be as efficient as before. Every quarter, a portion of the information must be disclosed.
The longer it takes to go public, the more scattered shareholders there will be and the procedures will become more cumbersome and complicated.
Zheng Yaoyang hadn't asked about Huanyu's situation for more than half a year, so he asked out of curiosity: "How are the recent earnings?"
"In Hong Kong and Taiwan, the golden combination of Zhou Xingxing and Wu Mengta has begun to work hard. In the past ten months, the two have filmed three films, with a total box office of more than 400 million Hong Kong dollars. Even in the mainland, the response is good, but they can't sell tickets.
price."
Zhou Xiaolin is worried about piracy. The mainland market is indeed huge, but the relevant legal system is too imperfect.
As long as their copies are shown in Pengcheng, it won't be long before they are circulated across the country, but they can't make any money.
Those pirates will do whatever they can to stop the videos from entering the mainland market.
Zheng Yaoyang laughed: "It's okay, let them owe the movie tickets first, and pay them back later when they have money."
He suddenly remembered that VCD seemed to be coming out, and Duan Yongping and others might be able to start developing it.
At that time, all the film and television copyrights of Huanyu will be licensed to them for free.
Rather than letting pirates make money for free, it is better to use it to expand the influence of the bullies.
"How can it be so easy to repay debts?"
Zhou Xiaolin remembered seeing the news at noon and asked, "Wade, why are you hanging out with the Li family?"
She only watched the news at noon, and had not had time to watch Zheng Yaoyang's impromptu press conference not long ago, so she only had a partial understanding of the whole thing.
"It was my order." Zheng Yaoyang recounted what happened and at the same time arranged the next step.
He didn't know how capable the media was and whether it could know the causes and consequences in time. He could only take the initiative to expose part of the facts through gossip.
As long as it is clarified that Wade is not involved in national security and portrays the United States as an image that cannot be played, David should know to make the right choice.
"You are playing bigger and bigger now."
Zhou Xiaolin couldn't help but be stunned. It involved tens of billions of dollars and was wanted by the United States, which was far beyond her imagination.
