Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 291: The Iskushuban Town Camp Was Attacked, Evicted, and Faced in Court

June 1966, Washington, White House Office.

A group of people sat together, their expressions were very interesting, and everyone had an expression of disbelief on their faces.

why?
That's Incirlik Air Base. Were those 2,500+ SAM soldiers blind? How could their weapons and ammunition be stolen so brazenly?

Moreover, those thieves are very smart. They only steal weapons with average lethality and never touch high-powered weapons like nuclear bombs.

Even guided missiles were just conventional weapons to Lyndon Johnson and his men, because they did not carry nuclear warheads.

As long as there are no nuclear bombs, the most that can be said is that conventional weapons have been stolen. Such news will of course be avoided as much as possible from being discovered by the outside world.

But at this time, the crazy SAM Intelligence Director Jared Verrick and the head of the Federal Fobole Department Rudolf Thomas both wished that the thieves would take the initiative to expose the matter.

Because only in this way can they locate the locations of these people.

But now, they can't find any clues at all, and it is almost impossible to retaliate.

The U2 Jiaolong reconnaissance aircraft were stolen a few years ago, and the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft were stolen before that, and now several bases have been cleared out.

Fake!

This is really crazy and a headache.

As everyone knows, this thief, or this group of thieves, has stolen weapons and ammunition worth at least tens of billions of dollars from Sam.

Because the stolen U2 Dragon reconnaissance aircraft alone is worth million US dollars, and the cost of building the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is billion US dollars.

This doesn't even include the missiles and so on, which cost tens of billions of dollars. It's no joke.

In short, to put it simply, these thieves deserve to die.

"Everyone, our tax revenue is not much to begin with, but most of our recent expenditures have been used to fill the holes in these areas. Can you all think of a way to overcome this difficult time?"

The theft of weapons and ammunition is actually a good thing for arms dealers such as the California Consortium, because the transaction of the ammunition has already been completed.

Now that their ammunition depots have been emptied, we will definitely order from them again.

So instead of being angry at Zhao Mancang, the "thief", they would give him a thumbs up and say, "Well done!"
After all, this is unexpected wealth.

Those financial groups were happy in the dark, but for Lyndon Johnson, this was a shameful and humiliating thing.

Sam's face was pressed to the ground and rubbed wildly, and at this moment, Lyndon Johnson found that none of his men could handle this matter.

Shame on you!
Jared Verrick was playing dumb at this time, lowering his head and trying his best to reduce his presence.

Rudolf Thomas was named and had to step forward to offer some suggestions.

For example, by combining efforts from multiple departments, setting traps, etc., we will definitely be able to catch this crazy thief.

Upon hearing this, Lyndon Johnson sneered and asked:
"An air force base has hundreds to thousands of people. Were all of them dead? How did someone steal all the weapons and equipment in the ammunition depot? How else do you plan to set a trap? Are you going to pay him?"

"A Blackbird reconnaissance plane is so large, and it's incredibly difficult to take off, requiring multiple people to assist. Yet, no one at the Harrier Air Force Base saw how it was stolen. We don't even know how many people were on board. And you're still talking about setting a trap?"

At this moment, James Barnes, who controlled the purse strings, couldn't help but speak a fair word.

"Mr. President, I think we can increase the number of soldiers at the base and assign them night and day shifts. There must be someone on duty during the night."

This is a barely acceptable solution, but I'm afraid it's of no use.

The reason is quite simple. Those Sam soldiers are used to it. It is difficult for them to accept the fact that they need to stay up all night.

Another point is that if you stay nervous for a long time, it is easy to have problems. Besides, who knows when the thief will come to steal things next time?

Soon after, others came up with other suggestions, such as installing various alarms at the base, such as radar systems, voice-controlled detection systems, anti-theft systems, and so on.

That is, the ammunition in the armory is equipped with various alarms. Once these equipment are not touched according to the procedure, the alarm will be triggered, and the thief can be tied up immediately.

The methods are good, but ultimately, good executors are needed to ensure that these methods can be implemented perfectly. Otherwise, they will just be empty suggestions.

The meeting lasted more than three hours, and various departments jointly formulated a number of new regulations. These new regulations seemed perfect, but when they were issued to various bases, they instantly caused great dissatisfaction.

Not to mention the game between the White House Office and the base leader, Moscow and other places soon learned the news and were almost laughing out loud.

In his Kremlin office, Brezhnev was still laughing wildly.

"Haha, I want to see how many more embarrassing things Sam has done. How stupid!"

Ever since he entered the Kremlin, Brezhnev has been competing with Sam, trying to outdo him in every aspect.

So many weapons and equipment were stolen by Zhao Mancang from Sam's base in the Middle East. Although these were conventional weapons, they were enough to make Brezhnev so happy that he slapped his thigh.

Compared with Khrushchev, Brezhnev's cultural level was even lower, and he did not come to power through normal elections, but through "change".

Therefore, after Brezhnev came to power, he restored some of the previous old policies, which in turn led to a certain degree of growth in Moscow's economy and military.

During Khrushchev's time, Moscow suppressed heavy industry and developed agriculture and light industry.

But when Brezhnev came to power, he used 85% of the tax revenue to develop heavy industry and invest in the military, especially in conventional and nuclear weapons, which accounted for a very high proportion.

So Brezhnev was given the illusion that Moscow's military was very powerful and would even surpass Sam in a short time.

The economic development is also very impressive, with a very fast growth rate.

Zhao Mancang owns many companies, such as the ocean shipping company under the Norinasun Group, which has undertaken many tasks of transporting oil from Moscow.

In other words, Moscow's economy is growing so fast simply because oil is growing at a crazy rate.

This economic growth model is too single. Once something happens internationally, Moscow will inevitably lack flexibility and find it difficult to maintain such an economic growth rate.

Dongda's current economic development requires a large amount of raw materials such as oil and minerals. The existence of Nolinasun Ocean Shipping Company is to assist Dongda in transporting large amounts of materials from abroad.

The foreign exchange earned by Todai from exporting home appliances and other products to all parts of the world is basically used to purchase these raw materials and equipment.

Once Todai's industry develops, it will even be able to export machine tools, steel products and other products with extremely high industrial added value, solidifying its reputation as the world's factory.

But at this time Brezhnev was not aware of the changes in the world at all, because his own cultural level was very low, and his vision and foresight were far behind.

The teacher once said that Khrushchev was a Muscovite before he went to Sam, but he became a Samite after he went to Sam.

This sentence is very true and appropriate, because after Khrushchev returned from Sam, he has been working hard to promote corn planting and make Moscow a major corn-growing country.

Unfortunately, he had not done any investigation and found that Moscow was not suitable for growing corn at all.

Even if it is suitable, it is impossible to just grow a single crop economy, and then rely on imports for other crops such as barley, wheat, soybeans, etc. Isn't this simply giving away one's own weaknesses to others?
Khrushchev was no match for him, and Brezhnev was even worse.

But at this moment, Brezhnev was still complacent, and even laughed happily when he saw the SAM base being stolen. He even asked the KGB to leak these "secretly" and let the media report the incident.

As a large number of media began to publicize the incident, the news that Sam's base in the Middle East was robbed spread around the world.

In the Black Cross camp in the small town of Iskushban in North Africa, O'Connor Adrian, Ye Weidong and others were all stunned.

"Ye, do you think the equipment we have was stolen by the boss from those bases?"

O'Connor Adrian widened his eyes and secretly talked about this with Ye Weidong.

Upon hearing this, the latter's pupils also trembled and said:

"It's unlikely. The boss is rich, so he would definitely buy any weapons he wants. How could he steal them? And don't you know? There are many Sam's arms dealers in the Middle East. Don't they often fight with arms dealers from other countries?"

Whether the Middle East is in chaos or not depends on the arms dealers.

In this damn place, the forces are so complicated that even without the involvement of arms dealers, chaos is inevitable.

Take the land where Ye Weidong and his team are now. The entire country is mostly Gobi desert, and oases are almost rare.

It is very difficult to develop an agricultural economy in such a place. On the contrary, it is located on the side of the Gulf of Aden, which is a world shipping route.

Every day, there are many merchant ships passing in and out of the Gulf of Aden. These merchant ships are loaded with a large amount of goods, so the locals who cannot collect protection fees can only become pirates and rob.

With so many pirates, this place is of course in chaos.

This is also the reason why the town of Iskushuban was targeted by pirates before. Who made Zhao Mancang so arrogant?

They even built an airport in the small town of Iskushuban and planted a large number of palm trees. It is so rich that it must have been targeted by someone.

As long as there is war in this place, there will inevitably be business. This is the scene that arms dealers want to see most.

And Sam is the biggest arms dealer on the planet.

"But don't you think this is too much of a coincidence?"

O'Connor Adrian still couldn't believe it. He felt that Ye Weidong didn't understand what he meant, so he wanted to continue persuading him and explain it clearly.

At this moment, Zhao Mancang came back.

"Is everything alright at the camp?"

After Zhao Mancang came back, he immediately asked about the details.

Ye Weidong nodded and reported that nothing had happened in the past period of time.

Lake Butler, Xie Pingzhou, Ding Shoushun and the others began to arrange accommodation for the newcomers and explained the rules of the camp to them.

Yes, Zhao Mancang went back to Hong Kong Island and confirmed this batch of security personnel.

In this batch, Zhao Mancang recruited eighty people, bringing the number of people in the camp to one hundred and forty-eight.

"Okay, gather everyone and have a meeting here in ten minutes."

Zhao Mancang nodded and said so.

He had already wasted a lot of time outside and he didn't want to waste any more time.

Soon, when all 148 people gathered, Zhao Mancang began to speak:

"I'm sure you've seen the news reports. Many SAM bases in the Middle East have been robbed. Our camp has a lot of SAM weapons, so we're just a fat pig in the eyes of others."

"A few days ago, we were ambushed by local pirates, and the entire camp was destroyed. Although no one died, it was still a shame in my life."

"I don't want something like this to happen again, so you have to guard this place for me."

Everyone, including doctors, nurses, chefs and other logistics staff, became solemn and serious when they heard what Zhao Mancang said.

The eighty new security guards were fine as they were still unfamiliar with everything here and didn’t quite understand what Zhao Mancang was trying to do.

But with a high salary of HK$50,000 per month, you can tell with your head that it must not be an easy job.

A team of 148 people is no longer a small team.

Zhao Mancang believes that after this time, the Black Cross’s lair will definitely not be wiped out so easily, right?
We must establish an effective defense and reconnaissance system to ensure that something like what happened last time does not happen again.

In fact, he is not paying much attention to the Dragon Army now, and his attention to the Black Cross will definitely decrease gradually.

The existence of the Black Cross is just a part of the dark world, allowing him to have an extra set of eyes and ears.

Once synchronous orbit satellites appear, Zhao Mancang's understanding of what is happening around the world will inevitably reach an unprecedented new level.

It’s definitely not possible now, we need to wait.

After arranging for the Black Cross to conduct various military trainings at the camp in the small town of Iskushuban in North Africa, Zhao Mancang went to Southern Africa and found Ye Guangmin.

"Old Sun is not here?"

Ye Guangmin nodded, "Yes, sir, Lao Sun is in the Middle East."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mancang asked the other party for detailed information about the current business situation in southern Africa.

Things are still quite chaotic here. The Rand Central Gold Mine has experienced several outbreaks of chaos in the past six months.

Although the gold mine shares have been divided and major shareholders have stationed a large number of soldiers here.

Yet even so, chaos remains the theme here.

The local black miners were very cunning and wanted to steal the gold and exchange it for money.

There are also many local warlords or other forces who want to get a piece of the pie from time to time.

The reason why there has been chaos in the Rand Central Gold Mine recently is because a special mercenary group has arrived.

This mercenary group does not have many people, only about thirty, but each one is very powerful, and they have a large number of advanced weapons and equipment, and are fully armed to the teeth.

They actually set their sights on the inventory of the Rand Central Gold Mine.

It is not known how this mercenary group called Black Bear knew about the existence of the gold vault and when it had the largest amount of gold stored.

Because the gold vault at the Rand Central Gold Mine sells the gold regularly and ships it away in batches.

In other words, they started dividing the loot directly in the gold vault, leaving no opportunity for other criminals to take advantage.

But no one expected that the Black Bear Mercenaries would find such an entry point and then come to steal the gold.

At that time, it weighed more than six tons of gold, which was almost the output of two or three days.

Because the annual output of the Rand Central Gold Mine is as high as more than 800 tons, it can produce an average of more than two tons of gold every day.

So more than six tons of gold is the output of two or three days.

As a result, so much gold was discovered by the Black Bear Mercenaries.

Then a fierce fight broke out between the two sides, resulting in many casualties, with more than a hundred miners killed alone.

The chaotic scene caused the entire Rand Central Gold Mine to shut down.

But even so, after the war ended, the Rand Central Gold Mine returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.

The Black Bear mercenaries still stole some gold, but they also left a lot of people behind.

More than six tons of gold, at the current price of US$38 per ounce, is equivalent to more than US$8 million.

The amount of money was not small. A team of only more than 30 people stole more than 8 million US dollars, and more than ten people died.

If there are about twenty people sharing the more than 8 million US dollars, each person can get more than 400,000 US dollars on average.

For many ordinary people, more than 400,000 US dollars is enough to live a comfortable life and is enough for retirement.

But what no one expected was that the Black Bear Mercenaries came back again three days later, and this time they succeeded again.

Moreover, the merchants who came here to buy gold were also beaten into pieces. The five million US dollars in cash he brought with him were all taken away by the Black Bear mercenaries.

Because of this incident, all the major shareholders of Rand Central Gold Mine were furious and threatened to tear the Black Bear mercenaries into pieces.

Unfortunately, in this era of slow communication, many things are already old news by the time we know them.

"Well, none of our men were hurt, right?"

Zhao Mancang showed some concern but was not very interested in the so-called Black Bear Mercenaries.

Because chaos is always the theme here. Even if there are no so-called black bear mercenaries, there will be other mercenaries such as white bears and brown bears, and even those greedy major shareholders who hire people to direct and perform their own shows.

There is a saying in later generations that the money of the top brother on the list will be returned in full, and the profits will be divided into 30% and 70%.

Many of the shareholders of the Rand Central Gold Mine are extremely greedy capitalists. They will not sit back and wait for the spoils to be divided, because they don't want to share the red wine, but want all of it.

So it's normal to direct and act in your own films. You can earn over $8 million in just two or three days. What other business can be so lucrative?
"Our people are fine, but the arms business has been a bit unusual recently."

Ye Guangmin frowned and spoke out his guess.

Because there has been so much chaos at the Rand Central Gold Mine recently, with so many casualties, it stands to reason that someone should have purchased a large amount of weapons and equipment, but unfortunately, no one did.

Hearing the other party's words, Zhao Mancang comforted him:
"Don't think too much. Many things may not be as complicated as we think. Maybe this is just a blind spot."

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Our weapons can't match the advanced equipment of others, so it's normal for them to be looked down upon. Only when they become poor will they consider cost-effectiveness."

After a pause, Zhao Mancang continued:

"The most important thing right now is to protect yourselves. Things are so chaotic right now, and you're always on the front lines. You can't ignore your own safety just for the sake of making money."

After giving the instructions, Zhao Mancang did not stay in southern Africa for long. Instead, he went to inspect the Nolinasun Southern Africa branch for half a day and then left.

The chaotic situation at the Rand Central Gold Mine is unsolvable.

After the Black Cross adapts to the environment here, Zhao Mancang will definitely let them come and fight these people.

At that time, he will definitely let these major shareholders taste how advanced their country's weapons and equipment are.

Sam's hometown, Los Angeles, Paramount Pictures office, Zhao Mancang appeared here.

He came here not just to check Paramount Pictures' accounts, but also to learn more.

Although he had hired a third party to monitor Paramount, there were some things that corruption could still occur even if he supervised them personally.

So when he showed up here today, he cleaned up two vice presidents of production.

"I don't care how great your achievements have been. Even if you're the producer of 'The Godfather', it's useless to me. You must understand your own position. You are just ordinary management who receive a fixed salary and dividends. You are not capitalists. You don't have shares in this company."

Zhao Mancang’s performance as the “capitalist” is very outstanding, as if he is acting in his true self.

"Last year, Paramount's revenue exceeded $520 million, but its profit was only $230 million. Haha, even a fool would know that this data is fake, yet you are still so complacent?"

"Do you really think I'm just here for nothing? Do you think you can do whatever you want just because I'm not in Hollywood? Do you think Paramount is your own private property?"

"You'll be the one to announce today's incident. I need to make it clear to the outside world that we at Paramount don't need parasites or any kind of shady culture. The capable will rise, the mediocre will fall. It's that simple."

"Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you hold so much power. You can't do that with me, understand?"

The script is in his hands. Even though the producer is awesome, so what?

There are simply too many producers who want to get promoted.

Because the script he came up with has basically set the tone of the film, and the filming will be carried out completely according to the script's shot division. As long as the actors' acting skills are up to standard, there will be no major problems with the film produced on this assembly line.

Therefore, Zhao Mancang was not worried at all about the impact that firing two already famous vice presidents of production would have on Paramount Pictures.

Even if there is, it is very limited.

The other producers, vice presidents, general managers, etc. in the conference room were all silent.

When the big boss arrived, everyone was like seeing God.

Especially today, there is a scene of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, which is even more exciting.

The news was quickly announced, and the whole of Hollywood was in an uproar.

Paramount, a Hollywood giant, actually only values ​​ability and doesn't allow powerful producers and directors to make any junk deals.

If it is discovered again, it will not be as simple as dismissal, but the person will be sent directly to prison.

No one would doubt the value of what a capitalist said, nor would anyone deny the capitalist's determination when he said this.

The reason is very simple. The two deputy general producers who were fired were the producer of "Wushuang" and the producer of "The Emperor of Chicago".

Both of these films are very awesome from Paramount Pictures.

Last year, in 1965, both films grossed no less than $120 million.

In today's era, it is already very impressive for a movie to exceed 50 million US dollars. As a result, both "Wushuang" and "The Emperor of Chicago" exceeded 120 million US dollars.

It can be said that these two films were money-making tools for Paramount Pictures, but the most powerful producer was actually fired.

Many young people suddenly went crazy and rushed over, wanting to join Paramount Pictures and show their talents.

Zhao Mancang asked the Human Resources Department to do a good job of service. If the young person is truly talented, don't worry about it and just recruit him.

But there is one thing, people like Xidu must not be accepted.

In just two days, Paramount Pictures' human resources department received more than 20,000 resumes and more than 8,000 scripts and projects.

Zhao Mancang even had to temporarily transfer some people from the crew to help with the recruitment issues.

While Paramount was busy, the five giants, Warner Bros., Columbia, United Artists, MGM and Disney, were competing for the two producers.

When Clint Richard and Rolf Curry left Paramount, the sky fell.

In the past, they were big shots at Paramount Pictures, and they didn't take Warner Bros. Pictures and other companies seriously because Paramount, 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures were the real giants in Hollywood.

The combined box office revenue of Warner Bros. and five other studios last year was less than that of Paramount alone.

So there are not eight Hollywood giants, but only three.

Warner Bros. was very enthusiastic about them at that time, but now they have been kicked out. What should they do?
However, they never expected that Jack from Warner Bros. would actually greet them personally, take them to the headquarters office of Warner Bros., and directly bring them to Jack's luxurious office.

"Clint, Rolf, if you agree to join Warner Bros., this check will be yours."

In the luxurious office, Jack, Clint Richard and Rolf Curry exchanged pleasantries for a while while puffing on Cuban cigars, and then immediately got down to business.

He simply signed two checks, each for one million U.S. dollars.

Because he believed that even Clint Richard and Rolf Curry would be very tempted by such money. After all, a million dollars earned for free would be worth a lot of money.

You have to know that both Clint Richard and Rolf Curry had been fired by Paramount, and at this time 20th Century Fox and Universal Pictures did not send anyone to greet them.

So they can only go to other companies.

Jack believed that no one could be more generous than he was.

At the same time, he also believes that Klin Richard and Rolf Curry will make the right choice.

But others don’t know about Paramount’s situation. Could it be that Clint Richard and Rolf Curry, the two parties involved, are not aware of it?

The reason why Paramount Pictures is so awesome is not because of their two producers, but because of their awesome movie scripts.

The storyboard has already stipulated how the film should be shot, including what lenses, techniques, etc. to use, all of which are clearly written in the script.

Anyone who understands filmmaking will definitely know what is going on.

Therefore, the reason why Paramount movies are so popular is not because their producers are awesome.

Because of this, when they were kicked out of Paramount by Zhao Mancang, they felt like the sky was falling.

But they didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events.

So they took Jack's check without hesitation and chose to start over.

The next day, Warner Bros. Pictures announced new personnel appointments and dismissals, with Clint Richard and Rolf Curry taking up the new vice president positions at Warner Bros. Pictures respectively.

Hollywood suddenly became lively and completely exploded.

There are many people watching the show, but few people really care about this matter.

MGM, Columbia, United Artists, and Disney were all secretly stomping their feet. Why didn't they take more initiative? Perhaps if they had been more proactive, they could have snatched up one more player.

But when they heard that Jack gave Clint Richard and Rolf Curry a check for one million dollars each, they fell silent.

Although these two former Paramount producers each produced a very awesome movie, they also brought huge revenue and profits to Paramount Pictures.

But you have to give the producer one million US dollars directly, and that's the amount of money even without a script.

To be honest, giants like MGM don't have such courage.

Although there are still some pieces in the broken ship, giants like MGM have been on the decline since the early 1950s. By the mid-1950s, they had been diverted by televisions. Not only did they not make money, they even lost a lot.

Especially MGM, which invested more than 40 million US dollars in the filming of "Cleopatra" in 1963, but the box office revenue was only more than 20 million.

It’s a pity that I don’t even have any pants left.

At this time, let them give one million US dollars each to Clint Richard and Rolf Curry?

Impossible, absolutely impossible!
In silence, film companies such as MGM had to put aside their thoughts and continue to think about how to break the deadlock while waiting to see what would happen.

At 20th Century Fox, Zhao Mancang already knew about the commotion at Warner Bros. in the conference room, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, okay, this is how you play, right?"

After muttering to himself, Zhao Mancang looked at Stuart Hack, the producer of 20th Century Fox, and smiled faintly:

"You think you'll be fine if you don't admit to these incriminating evidence, right?"

The latter was the producer of the movie "The Sound of Music". "The Sound of Music" was indeed his work, and he brought huge profits to 20th Century Fox.

But he should never have done that and actually embezzled more than 10 million US dollars.

Haha, Zhao Mancang is not a fool. After obtaining the solid evidence, he originally wanted to let the other party "make meritorious service while serving his sentence", after all, the other party is indeed a talent.

The movie "The Sound of Music" has a very high status in Sam's eyes, and its value is very high, so Stuart Hecker, as the producer, is definitely a talent.

Such a talent could have had a bright future, but unfortunately, he did not think it was shameful that he embezzled 10 million US dollars.

He also thought he was very awesome, that The Sound of Music couldn't have been made without him, and that the $10 million was what he deserved.

If this person really took away 10 million US dollars, how would Zhao Mancang survive in the future?
There is no doubt that this is a violation of Hollywood's tacit rules. Once it gets out, it will definitely cause strong opposition from other giants.

"In that case, I'm sorry, I can only send you to jail."

Seeing that the other party still refused to give up, Zhao Mancang said lightly.

20th Century Fox has a very professional team of lawyers, and it is obvious who they listen to. Stuart Hecker is just a producer.

Then his imprisonment was inevitable.

"No, I'm not wrong. This money is earned by my labor."

Hearing what Zhao Mancang said, Stuart Heck immediately stood up and cursed.

Since we've already fallen out, we might as well do it thoroughly.

"You deserve it? Didn't I give you a bonus? Two million dollars, don't you want it?"

"But this movie grossed $160-170 million, and you only gave me $2 million. I took $10 million. What's wrong with that? Is that excessive?"

Stuart Heck yelled, "You're a capitalist, but you can't be so greedy, right?"

Zhao Mancang was immediately amused when he heard this. Sam had his own tacit rules, and he was not a greedy capitalist.

On the contrary, he is quite kind-hearted and is quite willing to use money to reward his subordinates.

But sometimes, people are greedy and too many people don’t know their place and think that the world cannot move without them.

No, the world will continue to turn even if no one is gone.

Don't think too highly of yourself.

"Go out and ask around. Is there anyone like me who would directly give you an extra two million dollars? No one, right? Are you speechless?"

Looking at the other party, Zhao Mancang continued:

"Faced with this irrefutable evidence, I've already given you face by asking you to confess and then 'make meritorious contributions'. But you're so stubborn as to refuse to admit it. Fine, then go to jail."

"Fuck, I don't believe you can still cover up everything. Let's wait and see. At worst, we'll both die!"

Stuart Heck said this harshly, and Zhao Mancang shook his head.

This person's IQ is really negative when he is angry.

The fish may die, but the net will never break.

In the face of overwhelming evidence, any struggle by Stuart Hake was futile; his fate was already sealed.

Even if he is a multi-millionaire now, so what?

Could it be that he wants to compete with Zhao Mancang in wealth?
impossible!

Soon, the media broke the news that Stuart Hecker, one of the biggest producers of 20th Century Fox, was in court with the film company.

hiss!
The Hollywood crowd suddenly widened their eyes. What on earth was going on?
20th Century Fox’s public relations department immediately conducted crisis public relations and explained the whole story clearly.

Jack laughed to tears after watching the news.

"This is truly a blessing in disguise. With the summer box office approaching, Paramount first had a producer fired scandal, and now 20th Century Fox's top producer is suing the company. What about Universal Pictures?"

"Haha, this summer, no other company should be able to stop Warner Bros. from making money, right?"

After mumbling to himself, Jack called over the president, Darren Campbell, and ordered, "You must hurry up and arrange for reporters to write articles to discredit 20th Century Fox. And continue to work hard to discredit Paramount."

To be honest, Jack thought there was nothing wrong with this strategy.

However, on Thursday, June 23rd, Paramount Pictures' latest film, The Jackal, officially hits theaters!

The film started to be promoted two months ago, and large-scale publicity began a week ago. It took more than a week, which was enough for many consumers across the United States to know about the film.

Even though Paramount Pictures suffered a certain degree of scandal due to the departure of two major producers, the impact was not significant.

Because Paramount also has a public relations team that has resolved the crisis brought about by the scandal, and even to a certain extent, made the movie "The Jackal" more widely known.

Unlike previous gangster movies, "The Jackal" tells the story of a top killer.

The movie starts by killing the president of a country. Then, because the employer is unwilling to pay the remaining balance, the killer finds the employer and kills him. The employer turns out to be the president's son.

It's a very exciting movie, the plot is a bit brain-burning, and the scenes are very passionate and brutal.

Movie fans sat in the cinema to watch "The Jackal", but they never expected that the opening would be so awesome.

At the end of the movie, after the killer successfully killed the final villain, the head of intelligence of a certain country, I thought the movie ended there.

However, it didn't. After the lights came on, the movie ended, and the credits appeared, just one or two seconds later, another little easter egg appeared.

In the easter egg scene, the killer and his girlfriend are walking on a beautiful beach. The next moment, his girlfriend is shot in the head, and blood splashes all over his face.

The killer looked angrily at a place more than a thousand meters away, and a figure flashed by.

The scene ends here.

All the audience were instantly boiling with excitement when they saw this scene. Fuck, how could this be possible?

(End of this chapter)
