When he discovered Wang Dong, Wang Jiang was actually very interested.
According to the Wang family's investigation, Wang Dong is considered Su Yang's right-hand man. In the early days of Su Yang's business, he was Su Yang's most important helper.
Even the reason why Su Yang was able to start a business was because of Wang Dong.
Judging from the investigation report, without Wang Dong, Su Yang probably would not have embarked on the road of entrepreneurship, nor would he have succeeded in starting a business.
In the early days of starting a business, Wang Dong's resources also played a big role in Su Yang. It would be more appropriate for the two of them to be partners. But... Wang Dong had no ambition or confidence, so he voluntarily gave up the requirement to hold shares, and
It's a salary.
This was his first wrong step.
After that, he rode on Su Yang's coattails and became the vice president of the business company. He was even the spokesperson of Su Yang in the entire group.
Originally, he was already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people, but when Su Yang had a head-to-head confrontation with a big boss, he did not resist the temptation and betrayed Su Yang with some employees and joined the company owned by that big boss.
.
It may not be appropriate to say "betrayed". It would be better to say "leave". After all, he just chose to leave his job and did not betray Su Yang.
But no matter what, leaving Su Yang at that time also proved that he could no longer enjoy the dividends of Jiadian Group's growth.
After that, Jiadian Group soared into the sky and became a new upstart in the country, with a market value of hundreds of billions. However, the companies of Wang Dong and others went bankrupt one after another, and they became unemployed. Also because they had certain problems with their own abilities, in
I can't even find a job in a short time.
At the end of the investigation report, the investigators also wrote about Wang Dong's current situation: working as a sales manager in a small company.
Compared to before he met Su Yang, he must have been promoted. But compared to the treatment he received at Su Yang's place, it was far inferior.
Wang Jiang felt that people in such an inner circle would probably have some powerful information about Su Yang. In addition, after leaving the company, he had no relationship with Su Yang and was more of a grudge. He would probably be very easy to take advantage of him.
With this in mind, he asked his subordinates to give Wang Dong a price. As long as he had Su Yang's dirty information or relevant evidence, there would be no upper limit based on the value.
After keeping an eye on Wang Dong, Wang Jiang did not give up on several other resigned personnel and the employee of the brokerage company, and also allowed his subordinates to tentatively contact...
...
In Shanghai, a company called Noah Lighting, Wang Dong had just finished his morning's work. He stretched out a little tiredly, then smiled and said to a few people around him, "What do you want to eat for lunch today? Do you want it?"
Let’s order takeout together?”
Compared with his previous work at Jiadian Company, Wang Dong has lost some weight and has some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, making him look a lot older. But in contrast, his temperament seems to be much calmer and easy-going.
Hearing him speak, several colleagues next to him said, "Okay, Brother Dong. I want to eat braised chicken and rice." "I want to eat beef rice." "I want to eat pancakes and fruit."
Wang Dong had an exaggerated expression on his face, "You guys only have one dish each, and you probably won't be able to finish your meal by the time you get to work in the afternoon. Let's unify it and see if there's anything we can accept."
Just as he was talking, the receptionist walked in and said, "Brother Dong, someone is looking for you."
"Oh. Okay." Wang Dong agreed, then stood up and walked out while saying to his colleagues, "You guys discuss it and see what to eat. I'll come back later to order some."
"Okay. Brother Dong." "Okay."
Following the approval from his colleagues, Wang Dong left the company and came outside.
At first he thought he was being approached by a client, but when he came outside, he discovered that standing there was a middle-aged man wearing a black suit with an extraordinary bearing.
Seeing Wang Dong, the middle-aged man smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Hello. Wang Dong, right?"
Wang Dong quickly reached out and shook the man's hand, "Yes. Who are you?"
The middle-aged man said, "My name is Wang Weicai. I am from the Wang family in Zhejiang Province. I have something to do with you. Is it convenient now?"
Wang family in Zhejiang Province?
Wang Dong, who had little understanding of that circle, didn't know much about this name. He even complained silently in his heart: There are still families in this era? Could he be a liar?
But after looking carefully, Wang Dong found that the man in front of him was well-dressed, all of famous brands, and his every move carried a sense of nobility. He didn't feel like someone who would lie to him.
So although he hesitated for a moment, he decided to see what this person wanted to do with him. He said, "It's convenient. But are we going...?"
The middle-aged man said, "Just have lunch nearby. It won't take up too much of your time."
Wang Dong nodded, "Okay, please wait a moment while I say hello to my colleagues."
The man nodded in agreement.
After a while, Wang Dong talked to his colleagues and left the company again.
The middle-aged man led Wang Dong downstairs, got in the car, and sat down at a nearby high-end restaurant.
During this journey, Wang Dong's eyelids kept twitching, because after going downstairs, he saw a black Hongqi car parked downstairs, and a driver in a suit and leather shoes was already waiting there.
Although he has been away from the circle for a long time, Wang Dong still knows about the rumors about Hongqi. It is almost equivalent to a special car for big bosses, and all the people who ride in that car are either rich or noble.
Especially there are several models that cannot be bought with money. Qualifications must be reviewed.
Of course, it doesn't mean that anyone who rides a car of this brand is a boss, but relatively speaking, there are more bosses.
And... after seeing the car and the posture of the middle-aged man and the driver, Wang Dong could almost confirm: this should not be "rich" but "noble".
I got in the car and sat down in a private room of a nearby luxurious restaurant.
Wang Dong looked around a little uncomfortably, and then looked at the middle-aged man who was ordering food. He opened his mouth, and finally asked, "Excuse me, what do you want to see me for?"
The middle-aged man raised his head with a smile and said, "Don't worry, let's eat first."
Wang Dong licked his lips and said a little embarrassed, "Sir, to be honest, I am timid. If you don't tell me the reason, I don't dare to eat this meal."
The middle-aged man smiled, handed the finished menu to the waiter, and said, "Be patient."
After the waiter left the private room and closed the door, the middle-aged man finally stated his purpose, "That's it. We have investigated that you were the vice president of Jiadian Business Company before."
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Wang Dong's eyes flickered a few times, "Are you... investigating Mr. Su?"
The middle-aged man did not deny it. He said, "We are a little curious about you, Mr. Su. So we need you to provide some valuable information."
"I believe that as his right-hand man, it shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"
As he said that, the middle-aged man took out a check from the inner pocket of his suit pocket, put it on the table, and then said, "This is a check for 100,000 yuan. As long as your information has a certain value,
It belongs to you."
"Of course...if your information is more valuable, we can also add additional money. It ranges from 100,000 to 100 million."
With that said, the middle-aged man once again took out a pen and a checkbook from the inner pocket of his suit and placed them on the table, as if he was really going to sign a check of a higher amount at any time...
Wang Dong's eyelids twitched again, he looked at the check on the table and swallowed.
At the same time, in several different restaurants and coffee shops in Shanghai, a strange meal was born, and there was also a checkbook and a check for 100,000 yuan.
Faced with this huge sum of money, everyone is faced with a choice...
...
An hour later, colleagues at Noah Lighting were chatting happily. Wang Dong walked in, carrying a few plastic bags, a little lost.
Seeing Wang Dong, several colleagues greeted him one after another, "Brother Dong, you are back."
Wang Dong was awakened, and with a smile on his face, he agreed, "Oh, yes." After saying that, he put the plastic bag on the table and said, "This is the meal I packed back. Who is not full at noon?"
, you can eat a little.”
After saying that, he didn't care about the colleagues who were flocking to eat. He sat on the chair by himself and stared at the screen in a trance.
The colleague who opened the plastic bag took out a portion of the meal in the lunch box, and then said in surprise, "Brother Dong, this is Taipingmen's food, right? It's very expensive there."
"Yes. It smells so good. This dish looks very expensive at first glance."
Wang Dong did not reply to them and continued to be lost in thought.
While the colleagues were eating, they glanced at Wang Dong's back strangely and realized something was wrong with Wang Dong, so they didn't say anything more.
Wang Dong was lost in thought for more than ten minutes, and finally the vibration of his cell phone woke him up.
He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and looked at it. It was a WeChat prompt. He opened WeChat and found that it was a message from a group he had not chatted with for a long time.
Group name... [Resigned Team].
This was a WeChat group formed by a few of them who had resigned from Jiadian Group. At that time, everyone was very high-spirited and looked forward to a bright future. They felt that they would definitely flourish and reach a higher level.
As a result, in less than half a month, they were knocked from heaven to the bottom of the valley.
Afterwards, they tried to stand up and get together to return to Jia Dian, but Su Yang rejected them without hesitation.
Lei Kun, the founder of that group, wanted to call and scold Su Yang, but was humiliated by Su Yang instead.
Since then, the group has been completely dead.
Unexpectedly, I am alive again now...
Wang Dong looked at the group information,
【Is anyone looking for you?】
【Yes. I'm looking for you too?】
【Is it the Wang family?】
【right.】
【...】
There were a bunch of conversations, all about the Wang family's visit this time. Wang Dong looked at the group quietly, and then saw that they were talking about the information about Jiadian Group.
【Have you decided whether to sell the secret?】
[It will definitely be sold. It’s worth hundreds of thousands. With this money, I can even buy a car for my wife.]
[I will also sell. The Wang family can give me hundreds of thousands. I can go back to my hometown and pay the down payment for a house.]
[Do you think there are people who disagree? 】
[Isn’t it possible? Su Yang has already done this to us. Why don’t we make some money? 】
Wang Dong watched quietly...
Unexpectedly, I saw him chatting about himself below.
【Do you think Mr. Wang has sold it?】
【I guess I sold it.】
[I envy Mr. Wang. If he tells the secret, he can probably get millions, right? 】
[I guess it’s more than that. Mr. Wang is Su Yang’s partner. I guess the secrets he knows can be sold for sky-high prices.]
【I'm jealous.】
Then someone in the group, @王东, wanted to ask him how much he sold it for.
Seeing these conversations, Wang Dong silently turned off his phone.
...
In the evening, Wang Dong took two subway rides and returned home.
He has now moved out of the house he rented before and moved to a more remote and smaller house.
It was as if he had witnessed his journey from high-rise buildings to collapse in the past few years.
Fortunately...his girlfriend was still by his side during this period.
"I'm back."
Hearing the door open, his girlfriend walked out of a small kitchen of about 2 square meters wearing an apron. She was more mature and calmer than when Su Yang first met her.
The traces left by the years on her body are not obvious and very gentle.
The two of them were obviously used to their current life. Wang Dong helped clear the small dining table, and the two of them started to eat in the bedroom.
This is a one-room rental house. Except for the kitchen and toilet, all daily activities are completed in the bedroom.
After dinner, Wang Dong silently helped his girlfriend clear the dishes.
Of course, the girlfriend of the two who had been together for many years noticed something strange about Wang Dong. After she packed her things, she looked at Wang Dong strangely and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried?"
Wang Dong shook his head and said nothing.
After a while, he said, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."
His girlfriend looked at him for a while and nodded.
Wang Dong put on his slippers, took a cigarette and lighter and left the room. His girlfriend looked at his back a little worriedly, but didn't know what to say...
...
At the same time, Su Yang also answered a phone call at home.
It was Zhao Licheng's voice on the phone, "Mr. Su, the broadcast platform of "Legend of Wu Fu" has been decided. It is Mango TV."
Su Yang had heard Han Yi mention it before, so he had some expectations. He asked, "What about the price?"
Zhao Licheng's voice was obviously very happy, "The price is very satisfactory. 3.3 million per episode. A total of 82 episodes. That is about 270 million."
"I have made back all the production costs of the entire drama. I have even made a lot of money."
"That's all. We also sold out the second-round broadcast rights to Sky Blue TV for 1.85 million per episode, a total of 150 million."
Su Yang turned his head and then continued, "So now that the series has not been aired, we have already made a net profit of more than 100 million?"
Zhao Licheng said, "Yes!"
"According to our account sharing ratio, our profit has reached 80 million. Overall for this drama, our profit will not be less than 150 million."
Even though the valuation of Jiadian Group has reached the level of 100 billion, any project that can earn more than "100 million" [profit] is considered a big project, so Zhao Licheng, who has been at the helm of this project, is still very happy.
Su Yang nodded, "I'm very satisfied with this result."
Speaking of this, Zhao Licheng seemed to have remembered something, and then said, "By the way, Mr. Su. But those two satellite TV stations signed a high-price buyout with us, so they also have additional requirements."
Su Yang asked, "What's the request?"
Zhao Licheng, "During the promotion and broadcast period, the crew, actors and related companies cannot have negative news."
