nightcrawler in los angeles

Chapter 193
There are still two full months before Black Monday in 1987.

Tao Xi put all his wealth on this, and even the Panama River, which was supposed to be widened, was stopped.

Only money is the most real thing, Tao Xi doesn't like someone to interfere with him on such a big matter.

"Old West, I hope you can lend me all the funds of the Neil Group. I may have a big use in two months."

It was the first time Old West saw the firmness of Tao Xi's words!
After all, the true ownership of the Neil Group is still owned by Tao Xi, the second largest shareholder is the Red Fund, and the third largest shareholder is the Neil brothers.

Because of Tao Xi's continuous capital increase, the two brothers who originally occupied 5% of the shares.

Now he holds only 1.3% of the shares, and he, West, is just a high-paid worker!
"Believe me, old West, after half a year, I will not only return the investment in the same way, but I will also put the right to expand the international market in your hands."

Old West took a serious look at Tao Xi and nodded heavily.

Nearly 70 accountants in the finance department of Neil Group have stopped all payments except for the necessary expenses of the entire group after just one day.

Even the Sunshine Industrial Group and Panama Sunshine Bank in the building next door have begun to actively prepare funds for Tao Xi.

Tao Xi, who had been busy until late at night, didn't even notice Sophie Marceau's arrival.

Old West rubbed his slightly sore arms, and Sophie instantly met his eyes with a worried expression.

Old West turned his head and glanced at Tao Xi, who was still sitting there looking at the group's bill, helplessly shook his head and stood up.

"Mr. West, long time no see."

Old West saw Sophie with a tired face and didn't know what to say.

In fact, he didn't know what kind of big business Tao Xi had discovered. He had already drained the entire Neil Group's liquidity, and even the Sunshine Industrial Group's liquidity had been cut off by Tao Xi.

Once the Sunshine Industrial Group's funds are cut off by Tao Xi, it means that Tao Xi's investment in foreign films will also be cut off.

There is no reason why Sophie Marceau, as an actress favored by MGM and Neal Motors, does not know about this matter.

After all, those Hollywood producers and directors dare not come to the company to ask Tao Xi why he withdrew his capital.

The pressure of this matter was naturally carried by Sophie Marceau, who was making a living in Hollywood.

Old West saw Sophie Marceau's worried face and replied, "The company is fine, and Tao Xi is also fine. Don't worry, I will go and talk to Tao Xi."

When Sophie Marceau heard the old West's words, she turned her head and glanced at Tao Xi, who was still reading the report in the office, and sighed softly.

"I know you must have encountered difficulties, otherwise you wouldn't have terminated your cooperation with MGM. I don't care. I still have a few plays in my hands that I can act in."

"I haven't seen Tao Xi for a few days. You should give Tao Xi this bank card. This is the money I saved from acting in the last year."

Just after Sophie Marceau finished speaking, she took out an insulated box from behind and put it in Old West's hand.

"This is the meal I cooked for Tao Xi. Remember to let him eat no matter how hard he is."

After saying these words, Sophie Marceau turned around and left. Although the old West had heard Jin Xizhen say that his younger brother Tao Xi was a playboy.

But sometimes the eyes of a woman who loves a man cannot be hidden.

No matter what you do outside, those women will silently provide you with a haven at home.

When Tao Xi calculated that the most profitable business in his hand turned out to be the Neil Convenience Store, Tao Xi couldn't help being amazed!
"Old West, I think that if I had more money, I would definitely expand Neil's Convenience. The profit of a Neil's Convenience can reach 20%!"

Old West glanced at Tao Xi, who had stayed up all night, and replied: "Of course, if it weren't for the franchise fee and the pick-up, the revenue of catering would have been lowered by the convenience store."

"A total of 21 billion US dollars, then I will take it!"

"Old West, I really didn't expect you to hide so much money behind my back."

Old West smiled bitterly when he heard Tao Xi's answer: "I have worked so hard this year, and you have swept away all the frugal expenses."

"Hahaha! If it happens, I will give you 42 billion to develop the Neil Group!"

With a wave of Tao Xi's triumphant hand, an insulated box beside him was knocked to the ground. If the lunch box hadn't been fastened tightly, the rice would have spilled.

"Oh, old West, when did you know how to buy food for me, old man!"

"Where is it me! It's Sophie! Sophie came to see you, and she brought her savings."

Tao Xi, who was used to giving, felt the love and care for him for the first time!

Dazed, Tao Xi pretended to look outside at the sun that had already risen to mid-air, and yawned.

A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention the slowly growing Neil Group.

However, Old West told him before Tao Xi left that the Neal Group could not wait for half a year. If Tao Xi could not pay a salary in the third month, then the Neal Group might be killed by the outside world. disturbed by rumors.

Sunshine Industrial Group, as Tao Xi's own son, was directly drawn by him.

A total of 40 billion US dollars was collected by Tao Xi.

Tao Xi, who still felt that the military rations were not enough, was thinking about where to get some money, when a phone call from Japan rang.

"what?"

"Why?"

"Well, okay, I got it!"

Tao Xi took a deep breath to try to calm him down, but what happened on the phone still made Tao Xi very angry!
When Marco came to the RV and saw Tao Xi like this, he immediately remembered the scene when he was beaten by those damn Mexicans when he was 11 years old.

That's what Tao Xi was like at that time. Not only did the group of Mexicans lose their arms, but even one person's thigh muscle was severely bitten off by Tao Xi.

"Marco, don't you want to go to Japan?"

Before Marco could react, Tao Xi had already picked up the phone in his hand again.

"Hey, Uncle Kushner, I'm having a little trouble in Japan."

"Yes, let's charter a plane. I need to trouble you to prepare some manpower."

"Well, okay, then tonight, go to Tokyo!"

"I don't like that place either, let's go back early!"

Marco raised his brows and looked at Tao Xi with a calm face. Marco suddenly found that he couldn't see through his big brother.

Emotions and anger are invisible?Probably.

Shizuka Kudo looked at the dark environment around her and was a little flustered for a while.

Yesterday, she was still participating in the planning and investment of TV Tokyo's latest variety show on the top floor of TV Tokyo, but today she was tied up by a group of people in this invisible cave.

The chilly little wind and the sound of tick-tock running water around made Shizuka Kudo find a little comfort.

Since serving as the shareholder representative of TV TOKYO, she has really made a splash in the Japanese entertainment industry.

But the good times are not long.

After decades of mergers and acquisitions, TV Tokyo has changed owners, resulting in Nippon Caijing Group becoming its largest shareholder and actual controller.

When it comes to Nippon Financial Group, some people may not know it, but if it comes to Nihon Keizai Shimbun, he has a great reputation in the world. Not only does he have close contacts with the Sony Group, but even the owner of the Sumitomo chaebol has a close relationship with them. shallow.

In the 80s, if Wall Street was the world's financial center, then the Nihon Keizai Shimbun was the world's financial news cooperative. If it weren't for the emergence of Bloomberg and the Internet, then this newspaper that controlled dozens of listed financial companies could still stand at the top.

Shizuka Kudo, who went to the United States for a trip, suddenly became the representative of Americans on TV Tokyo. According to the actual statement, the Nikkei Group might even laugh.

However, Shizuka Kudo used her wealth and wealth to continuously devour the shares of the minority shareholders of TV TOKYO. She originally only had 5% of the shares.

Now it has more than 7% of the shares. If she continues to develop, the Nikkei Group will definitely lose this position that can cover nearly 70% of the people in Japan!

This is unacceptable to the Nikkei Group. If it is not enough on the surface, it will make some small moves behind the scenes.

Because Inagawa is often involved in the Japanese casino business, they often have some financial problems. It just so happens that Haruhiko Kikuta, an officer of the Nikkei Group who has some involvement in this aspect, took over the task this time.

Kikuta Haruhiko took a look at this village located in Hatanzaka, Chiyoda District, Tokyo.

It is not so much a village as it is an abandoned land that is about to be demolished. A raised hillside and a few broken brick walls make this place a depression.

Several shirtless men with samurai swords hanging from their waists sat cross-legged at the entrance, playing poker.

"Mr. Kikuta, it's really amazing that the Nikkei Group can get this land for development."

Haruhiko Kikuta relishes what he sees as flattery from lower-level Japanese people.

"Heh, the location of the shrine is very close to here. As long as we build a park here, I believe the land here will not be worse than that in Ginza."

Miken Terada couldn't help showing a trace of envy when he heard Kikuta Haruhiko's words.

Although Japan's economy is doing well now, for an ordinary direct participant like him, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult for him to buy a house in this kind of place.

"Mr. Kikuta, I heard that you really like to participate in the concerts of some actresses, right?"

Kikuta Haruhiko couldn't help but frowned when he heard that Inagawakai, the little straight senator Terada Sanken, had even investigated it.

But Mitsuken Terada explained directly: "Don't worry. After all, Shizuka Kudo has participated in many activities recently. If we can't understand well whether this action is for your own selfish desire or for the Nikkei Group trouble."

"Isn't it troublesome that you couldn't keep your promise in the end?"

Kikuta Haruhiko waved his hand helplessly: "You have to know that the Nikkei Group will pay you 1 million yen for this operation. How can I, as an officer, get out this money?"

Terada Sanjian said unhurriedly: "Hahahaha, since we have done this, it proves that we have believed in you."

"It's just that what I just talked about was between our friends."

"Shizuka Kudo, we can't move, but I know a little girl who often goes in and out of bars by herself recently. If you're interested, I might invite her over!"

Terada Sanken's words quickly aroused his interest, and Kikuta Haruhiko looked at the vacant land just behind him that the Nikkei Group had just bought, and he understood everything.

"Did you fancy the house here?"

"Hahaha, I love talking to smart people!"

"You said please, do you mean please without any side effects?"

As an officer of the Nikkei Group, Kikuta Haruhiko still cares about his own reputation very much. Don't end up getting him into trouble because of his relationship with the Inagawa Club. It would be a big loss.

"The house is sold at a discount of 3%. I have some deposits, but the deposits are not a lot."

Kikuta Haruhiko looked at the ruins behind him, and Shizuka Kudo's shouts came out continuously, frowning and replied: "What's the name of that person! If I don't like the female star you find, then I will be at a loss! "

"Akina Nakamori!"

"She loves to drink in a bar under my jurisdiction!"

Miken Terada seemed to enjoy Shizuka Kudo's shouts. Not only did he not send anyone to stop it, but he also opened the gate of the ruins and leaned against the wall.

Haruhiko Kikuta immediately became interested when he heard the words "Akina Nakamori". After hesitating for less than 10 minutes, Haruhiko Kikuta agreed to Sanken Terada's answer.

"Do it, but if something happens, I will definitely not admit it."

Kudo Shizuka looked at this dark and damp cave with a gleam of light, and her voice became much louder in an instant.

"Hey!"

"Help!"

"Help!"

"I was kidnapped!"

Terada Sanken straightened his clothes and walked in calmly: "Don't struggle, even if you shout your throat, no one will come to rescue you."

As soon as Miken Terada finished speaking, he threw the contract in his hand on Shizuka Kudo.

"Sign it, if you don't sign it, you will die of old age here!"

Kudo Shizuka took a look at the document [Tokyo TV Share Transfer Agreement] that fell on the ground through the light outside: "You are dreaming! Kill me if you have the ability!"

"Heh, you little girl is quite stubborn! Sometimes you regret it!"

Miken Terada didn't go to pick up the document, but lit a cigarette and turned his head to go out. Only then did Shizuka Kudo see the environment outside and the number of people at the door clearly.

On the contrary, Kikuta Haruhiko still stood at the door, wondering what he was thinking in order not to attract the attention of others.

"What if she doesn't sign it?"

"The Nikkei Group has paid you money. Of course, you need to find a way to do this."

Kikuta Haruhiko replied calmly to Terada Sanken, but Terada Sanken was not angry but asked calmly, "Are we casual?"

"You decide!"
