Qian Youliang still has two months to think carefully about whether to decide to leave CCTV and go to Gu Kun to run new media.
However, after the heart-to-heart talk at the private banquet that day and Gu Kun's enlightenment, Qian Youliang finally gave up on Yin Tao when it came to choosing a mate.
As a reporter stationed by CCTV in Hujiang, if you don't consider meritorious service and promotion, and just hang around and prepare for job-hopping, then the job will be relatively easy.
In order to befriend Gu Kun, Qian Youliang had already begun to subtly adjust his work direction after returning to the workplace after the National Day holiday.
For example, when encountering news about Gu Kun, or sports news, or education news, he would selectively interview more materials that Gu Kun wanted to publicize.
For example, follow up and report on the sponsored foreign students from Blackland, their study and life in China, whether they are motivated and adaptable...
There is always a lot of material to dig out.
Even if CCTV cannot report such trivial news, it can still exchange materials with other media and cooperate with local TV stations.
Because of this matter, colleagues at the reporter station noticed something unusual: "Xiao Qian/Brother Qian, aren't you from the sports section? How come you even picked up information on education news? This is Lao Huang's job."
Of course his colleagues don't mind if he does the work for them, since they are just dawdling around anyway, so others can take it easy.
Qian Youliang responded every time: "Recently I have been digging intensively for information on sports training in colleges and universities. I came across something that might be useful, so I picked it up together."
Colleagues did not question it, but Yin Tao was a little disappointed.
Her intuition told her that she seemed to have lost a spare tire.
However, the successful foreign man she wanted to seduce did not like her at all. Even if she could not marry him, he was not even interested in showing her up for nothing.
…
The words are divided into two parts. As Gu Kun's publicity offensive in the Chinese market gradually spread through soft news and other forms of publicity,
Lanfang's self-funded group tour market has grown significantly throughout September and October.
Gu Kun and his team estimate that this momentum can keep Lanfang's tourism reception capacity at least saturated until the Chinese New Year.
After all, even if only one of the top tens of thousands of wealthy people in China is interested in traveling to Lanfang, it is enough to feed the current Lanfang citizens.
However, Gu Kun is also very clear-headed and knows that if there is no subsequent big news stimulation, this momentum will decline sooner or later.
Just like later generations of stars like Liu Xiang, who made major breakthroughs for China, they only became popular during the Olympic year and the following year and a half.
Internet celebrities are all going to be angry.
Based on Gu Kun's self-awareness, he estimated that by breaking the record 24 times in a row during the Universiade, his media popularity and curiosity would be maintained until the end of the year.
If he can perform like no one before in the Olympics next year, he will be much more powerful, and he will probably be popular across the country for two years.
Therefore, he had to take advantage of the fact that the current illusion of cooking oil was still maintained and quickly do other things to fish in troubled waters.
At the end of October, the day after taking the midterm exam.
Gu Kun called his best confidant Tang Jia to his house for a meal and a few words.
"Next month, I will take Midrova back to Blackland. The current aircraft carrier theme park renovated by the 'Kharkov' has very good revenue data.
This data fully supports my new investment decision: to buy the unfinished aircraft carrier "Isakov" from Nikolayev Shipyard and transport it to Lanzhou for entertainment industry renovation.
My initial idea is to buy it and operate it as a gaming boat for a few years. In our country, gaming is legal to begin with.
If you have free time recently, you can find a few experts from Ao County to review the details, or you can also find a consultant to help me refine the business plan. After the ship comes back, it will be constructed and decorated according to the plan.
In addition, if I have any problems with daily business management during my absence, you can help me deal with it. I really can't handle international long distance calls."
After all, Tang Jia knew many of Gu Kun's secrets. She was already Gao Jianxiong's woman, and there was no need to hide many of them from her. However, when she heard Gu Kun say this, she was still very surprised by some details: "You really just bought an aircraft carrier.
A gaming boat manufacturer? I thought you were a guise."
Gu Kun: "That's necessary. We Lan can't afford to offend Western powers, and China today doesn't have the strength to protect us. How could I do something to cause trouble? If so, Zhu Youdong won't let me go.
I really intend to run the Isakov for a few years and get back to where I started. In the future, I will wait until the general trend of the world changes and Southeast Asian countries collectively hate the West before I act accordingly. If there is no such opportunity, then I would rather do anything.
Don’t do it, or wait until the day when China is strong enough to protect Lan Fang.”
The profit in the business of selling rare goods is indeed considerable, but if you don't have a few brushes and can't find a strong enough backer, you will suffer a backlash.
Gu Kun is not stupid either, he has to do the whole thing when acting.
"Okay, then I will keep an eye on it for you. But whether you can deceive Lao Mei depends on your own ability. There is nothing we can do about this. We know that the fewer people there are, the safer it is."
A few days later, after a little preparation, Gu Kun acted like a wealthy young man, took a long leave in a high-profile manner, and then flew to Kiev with Midrova.
He already had old acquaintances in Kherson and Nikolayev, not to mention business, and the vodka dollar red envelopes opened the way. The locals were already chaotic, but it was easy to get them.
The real trouble lies in other hidden fronts.
…
Mid-November, Oceania, peanut stew near Langley.
cia headquarters.
"Director Stephen, here is the latest special risk assessment from Asia. We need to analyze it."
In a department responsible for Asian affairs, a deputy director received a list of cutting-edge trends to be evaluated from his subordinates.
This deputy director, Stephen, looks to be in his thirties, but his resume is quite strong. He was a confidant who worked his way up through the ranks with the former director Robert Gates.
These days, almost everyone in CIA has not shed their Cold War mentality.
"Someone wants to buy the unfinished 'Isakov' in Blackland? Is it a Chinese? What's going on? Is it someone from the imaginary enemy army?" Stephen was a little sensitive when he saw the material at the first glance.
But after he continued reading, he hoped that he was overthinking it.
"It turns out that I have had a successful business experience, and I really feel that it is easier to use this kind of gimmick to make profits from the tourism industry... but it is not easy to beat him to death with a stick."
The world atmosphere in 1995 was relatively harmonious. This general tone made Oceania unwilling to cause trouble. If the Lucians did anything rash, they would have to guard against it. Other countries could contain it without any cost.
If it is curbed, if you need to use your chips, you have to see if it is cost-effective.
"It's impossible to stop the transaction. Blackland won't listen to us. The only way to stop it is to let the Turks block the strait on the pretext of navigation safety, let the Brittany block the Suez Canal, etc. Then we have to let the Turks
People's benefits are not free of charge... It's better to send someone to collect detailed and credible materials first, and then decide whether to spend resources to stop it." After reading this, Stephen evaluated it like this.
The subordinate expressed embarrassment: "Lanfang is too small, and we don't have the manpower in Lanfang."
Stephen thought for a while: "From the people we sent to Malaysia, we can temporarily go to one or two. It doesn't have to be investigated personally. You can definitely find out if Gu Kun has any enemies in Lanfang. His enemies should be
Those who know him best can then dig up some accounts about that 'Lanfang Culture', and then you can see whether the other party's purchase of the aircraft carrier is a real profit from the tourism industry or a loss."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
…
Naturally, no one knows all the details.
A few days later, a speedboat coming from Kuching to Lanfang, carrying two locals, docked at the yacht dock of Lanfang Port.
One of them should be the middleman, a normal Malay businessman, while the other is more mysterious.
After the two landed ashore, accompanied by a plainclothes bodyguard, they went straight to the office building of the Lanfang Construction Department in a low-key manner.
The businessman must have had business dealings with Zhu Jingye, so he entered easily.
Zhu Jingye was a little surprised, but he still received these uninvited guests in his office.
"Uncle Chen, you're fine, why did you suddenly think of coming to see me today?" Zhu Jingye asked his female secretary Hu Mei to pour tea for him.
The Malay businessman, who was called Uncle Chen, waved his hand politely and asked Hu Mei to retreat.
Then he said to Zhu Jingye alone: "Xiao Zhu, we also know that you and Gu Kun have a little feud. The incident before has been spread throughout the wealthy business circles in Kuching. Come today, people will not tell secrets.
We also have people who want to deal with Gu Kun. If you can provide some data you have observed about Gu Kun's business, you will win gratitude and support."
Zhu Jingye's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
Of course, he wanted to see him join forces with others to deal with Gu Kun. At present, he had been forced by Gu Kun's advances and had lost nearly half of his power and interests.
However, he had to think carefully about joining forces with foreigners. He was afraid that if the news leaked out or he was sold in the future, it would arouse the anger of his uncle Zhu Youdong.
So he asked tentatively: "Are you... Chen Mingcheng's boss? People from Shell Oil?"
After all, Gu Kun only has a few enemies.
When Gu Kun sent Chen Mingcheng to jail, it was not only Chen Mingcheng who suffered losses, but also damaged Shell Oil's channels in Brunei, and also implicated many management members of the HSBC Brunei branch.
The line for Chen Mingcheng's illegal pledge has been wiped out.
When the visitor heard Zhu Jingye's guess, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, but he immediately accepted it happily.
"Yes, we do have some friendship with Shell Oil. Specifically, if Mr. Zhu is willing to cooperate with us, you will know later."
Zhu Jingye was a little nervous, but also a little relieved. He was nervous because he met the foreigner that his uncle hated the most, but he was relieved because it was all very logical.
"It's a very important matter, so I think it's better to take a long-term approach. Let's talk about what you want me to provide first."
"First of all, we want the most authentic first-hand data on Lanfang Cultural Management filed with Lanfang's tax department."
