Following the police, local television stations, newspapers and news media in Houston swarmed over, setting up cameras and cameras to take pictures non-stop.
If you turn on the TV at this time, you will be able to see the burning forage warehouse in the suburban pasture during the temporary news broadcast on the local Houston TV station, making half of the sky red.
Vehicles that look like post-war ruins, million-dollar luxury trailers destroyed by machine guns, shocking honeycomb-shaped bullet holes, bodies put into body bags...
At this late night, almost half of the United States was agitated. Faced with this big news that shocked the country, I don’t know how many people stayed up all night.
Media and radio programmers from all over the country took red-eye flights or drove overnight, flocking to Houston like vultures on the African savanna.
With your journalistic instincts, you can tell that there are many mysteries to be solved in the kidnapping case involving the armed gangsters of Silicon Valley's new richest boss.
At present, it can be confirmed that most of the kidnappers come from the small country on the other side of the Pacific. What kind of grievances and hatreds are there that are worth pursuing across the ocean?
Especially the million-dollar luxury trailers in the ranch. Don’t tell me that they belong to the rancher or the boss king. Cowboys cannot use such luxury trailers. Billionaires traveling with many bodyguards and entourage would disdain to use them.
Not enough.
Most of the people who own such top-notch luxury trailers are popular celebrities in the entertainment industry or superstars in the pop music industry. They travel between sets and concerts to provide a comfortable rest environment.
In 1993, you must know that in the entire Hollywood, there were no more than 50 people with an annual income of more than 10 million US dollars. They were the high-end group who could afford million-dollar luxury trailers.
Excluding the executives of the eight major film companies and the bosses of the three major brokerage companies, as well as some second-tier film company owners, famous producers and directors, there are less than 15 famous movie stars left, of which first-line male stars account for the majority.
Among them are the well-known Schwarzenegger, Sylvester Stallone, Robert De Niro, Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise and Bruce Willis.
So who is she(he)?
Why do you appear in this ranch, and what does it have to do with the boss?
Are there any unknown inside secrets inside?
It’s exciting to think about it. This is definitely a gold mine with huge news value, which is worth exploring in depth. It is a big news that can last for a long time and can be made into a special topic or serial report.
On the way back to Houston, Wang Yaocheng received calls from several important people he knew well. What surprised him most was that he actually received an inquiry call from the Chinese Consulate General in Houston, which made his heart warm.
Travelers traveling abroad, especially Chinese people, always have a strong sense of home and country, which gradually ferments and becomes mellower with the passage of time and distance.
The fact that the Consulate General in Houston called me as soon as possible shows that it has been paying attention to my growth and will provide strong support when needed. This is enough.
Wang Yaocheng has caught up with good times since he started his business. He has accelerated reform and opening up from top to bottom and has a reform spirit of crossing the river by feeling the stones. The local government has warmly welcomed investors and provided considerate services, and has rarely encountered any major setbacks.
Well……
The biggest setback should be the stillbirth of the Yanjing City Pacific Plaza project with an investment of 20 billion.
This metaphor seems not very accurate. To be precise, it should be that the head of the fetus was exposed, and then it was kicked back, suffocating it to death in the belly.
According to news from China, the district government intends to hand over another piece of land to Pacific Real Estate Company for development. Wang Yaocheng has not commented on this?
From now until 1999, it is not a good time for real estate development in first- and second-tier cities in China, and Wang Yaocheng himself has no intention of investing heavily in real estate projects.
The Yanjing City Pacific Plaza project is of particularly great significance and has bright business prospects. The window of opportunity to obtain the project development rights passed quickly, which led to the hasty launch of the project.
Although the idea was good, there were too many variables and the project was repeatedly stopped...
The setbacks caused by reality made Wang Yaocheng want to quit;
There are countless profitable businesses in this world, so why fall in love with just a flower.
If this huge amount of money is invested in Apple stock, or in Berkshire Havisa, a company owned by the investment genius Buffett, or in Nokia, it can achieve astonishing benefits that far exceed real estate.
Dead of night
23:40 minutes
After recording the confession at the police station, when I returned to the hotel, I was surrounded by hundreds of reporters and paparazzi outside the hotel lobby. I saw bodyguards surrounding Wang Yaocheng getting out of the car, and the flash lights turned into snowflakes.
Wang Yaocheng had to put his hand in front of his eyes and followed Harrison forward with difficulty.
"Boss, Mr. Wang, can you tell me why you went to the suburban ranch?"
"Who owns Stania's trailer? Is it your girlfriend? Is it a prostitute or a one-night stand? Can you tell me?"
"What's the grudge between you and Xiao Benzi? Why do they hate you so much? It seems that the tracking has been going on for more than a day or two. This is a long-planned operation. What do you have to say about this?"
"Boss Mr. Wang... Oh! Let's talk about it. We have been waiting for a long time. Let's just say a few words."
After squeezing all the way to the door of the hotel lobby, Wang Yaocheng turned around helplessly, and the lawyer beside him, Montgomery Jr., helped to respond; "Please give way, my client is very tired today. We will have relevant news at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning."
It will be released at 0:00, thank you all for your cooperation."
"Boss King, did you foresee the kidnapping attack tonight?" reporters rushed to ask.
Wang Yaocheng smiled bitterly; "Not at all."
"It is said that the ranch owner is a long-time friend of Stan Lee, CEO of Marvel Animation. What topics are you discussing at this gathering? Does it involve Marvel's equity?"
"This is a trade secret, no comment."
"Then let me change the question. Since it is a commercial gathering, who is the mysterious owner of Stania's trailer? Is it the famous star we know well?"
"Relevant news will be released at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please wait patiently."
Wang Yaocheng simply answered two questions, then turned around and walked into the hotel despite the reporters' efforts to stay. The reporters could only stay outside the area designated by the hotel security.
Even if the reporter stayed at the Hilton Hotel, he could not interview Wang Yaocheng.
Because the entire 26th floor was booked, bodyguards were on duty in the elevators and emergency passages on the 26th floor at all times, and the police also sent additional forces to participate in the control.
In the corridor on the 26th floor of the hotel
Lawyer Little Montgomery raised his hand to look at his watch, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, guys, it's 23:55 now. Everyone has 35 minutes to take a hot bath, pour yourself a cup of hot coffee, and then we're going to
We have officially started work, officially launched the crisis public relations plan, and will be awake all night today."
"Okay!" Wang Yaocheng shook his head with a wry smile, opened the door and walked in.
Throwing his tired body into the sofa, Wang Yaocheng was so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers. Although the close-quarters fight only lasted less than a minute, it seemed that all his energy and energy had been consumed.
Because Wang Yaocheng was the main party involved, Wang Yaocheng performed flawlessly during the tedious interrogation in the police station under the witness of lawyer Montgomery Jr. When he walked out of the police station, he was praised by Montgomery Jr.
Due to the seriousness of the case, there should be several follow-up interrogations to supplement missing materials and some details. There is nothing to hide, just tell the truth.
Let the Boller Montgomery Law Firm come forward to solve the problem and urge the application of the "fortress principle" in this case to resolve all legal issues.
Also due to the seriousness of the case, the "Ranch Armed Kidnapping Case" must go through the Houston District Court. This major case with national influence has attracted much attention, and neither the Federal Circuit Court nor the District Court will end it in the pretrial stage.
.
Wang Yaocheng's scheduled return to China in mid-May has been scrapped, and he still needs to continue to apply for leave from Jinling University.
half an hour later
In small conference room
When Wang Yaocheng came over, the small conference room was almost full. There were more than 20 people, including Mr. Huo Jiaguang's senior administrative staff, members of Little Montgomery's legal team, Captain Daxiong and Harrison, Julia Roberts and several others.
Unfamiliar faces.
"Okay! Boss, please sit down. Before the closed-door crisis public meeting, I would like to introduce two professionals."
Little Montgomery pointed to a bald man in his fifties beside him and said, "Mr. Schmidt, a practicing lawyer, senior crisis public relations expert, and Texas Congressman, is very happy to join our team and provide us with professional and valuable advice."
The applause rang out as scheduled, warm and measured, and Schmidt nodded politely to Wang Yaocheng and others: "I cherish the opportunity to work with you all and hope to be able to help and guide things in the direction we want.
"
"The CAA company appointed Ms. Julia Roberts' agent, Mr. Piece, who has just arrived from Los Angeles. During the brief contact, Mr. Piece and I reached a consensus to unify the publicity caliber for this crisis.
"
Attorney Montgomery Jr. introduced another middle-aged white elite, and then said sincerely to Wang Yaocheng; "Boss, in view of the huge influence of you and Miss Julia Roberts, Mr. Piece and I have agreed that both parties will conduct unified publicity
Caliber, make your love affair public.
Please forgive me for not obtaining your authorization in advance.
Please believe in the professionalism of our crisis public relations. These measures may touch the boss’s private life and even some privacy. I hope you can cooperate as much as possible.”
Wang Yaocheng frowned. He didn't like his life to be arranged by others.
Looking at Julia Roberts, who was sitting next to her with a somewhat sluggish expression, she suddenly felt pity; "Julia, let Rebecca accompany you to rest, just to protect your safety. Well, let these matters be solved by professionals."
Bar."
"I'm really tired, I'm going to rest first!" Julia Roberts came over and gently hugged Wang Yaocheng, and left accompanied by Rebecca.
In the Hollywood film and television industry, it often happens that in order to cooperate with the promotion of the film, the male and female protagonists have scandals, or in order to increase the media exposure, they create some emotional separation and reunification gimmicks.
Living in this vanity fair, Julia Roberts is no stranger to this, understands it and can accept it and cooperate with it in publicity.
But she cannot accept her agent interfering in her real love life. In order to win roles or more resources, she arranges which men she sleeps with and which men she does not sleep with. This has exceeded the limit of her tolerance.
This is why Julia Roberts was dissatisfied with her former agent, who interfered too much in her personal life, which made her very insecure.
"Okay, I will try my best to cooperate." Wang Yaocheng finally relaxed.
