Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Chapter 313 Someone is spreading rumors about you

"Boss, some people say you're a womanizer and have kept many women to have your babies."

Amy picked up the magazine, which read that a former bankrupt Chinese tech tycoon had many children and kept numerous female celebrities as his mistresses.

Zhang San asked Amy to bring it over. He had been in Hong Kong recently, spending time with Chai Xiaofen and their child, and hadn't been paying attention to these news reports. He had his own channels for checking world news, but this was the first time he had seen someone spreading rumors about him.

He picked it up and looked at it carefully several times. It said Luo Dazui, the former prodigy Hui. He had cut off contact with him for several years, so why was he still attacking him?

He didn't know how many years it had been since he last had any contact with this guy. Why was this guy thinking of him now?

Speaking of which, I sold some of Luo Dazui's properties back then. If I had sold them earlier, he could have made a lot of money. Now, he's like this, which really makes me sad. He benefited from my scheme, but instead of being grateful, he spreads rumors about me.

"Amy, go find this person's information and send it to me."

Zhang San wanted to see how this guy had fared in the past few years, to see what was going on, since he used to be quite wealthy.

There was a lot of news about Luo Dazui, which was quickly collected. After reading it, Zhang San felt it was amazing that this person had done so many bizarre things.

Looking at his past experiences, Zhang San was also very impressed. This man entered society at the age of 16, and his first job was as a broker, a real estate agent. In 1980, he entered his lifelong career. Although his salary was less than HK$1,000 at the time, he relied on his "courage" and "vision", coupled with the hot property market at the time, and made a series of successes in "property speculation" in the following years. He went from an unknown nobody to a glamorous boss with a net worth of more than HK$1 billion.

He had a close relationship with "super sniper" boss Liu, and once said that without Liu's guidance, it would be impossible to get rich.

However, during the Asian financial crisis, they made a misjudgment, went in the wrong direction, and refused to listen to advice, thus losing the initiative in that economic cycle.

This left him heavily indebted, and among the largest loans, Zhang San was inextricably linked to them.

"I really shouldn't have sold those buildings to him back then, making him so burdened with loans." Zhang San sighed, talking to himself as if he regretted it.

He continued flipping through the pages and discovered that he had begun recounting his relationships with various female celebrities, thus becoming a darling of the Hong Kong media.

"Has this person lost their mind? Isn't this kind of exposure going to cause problems? It would be one thing if it were just celebrity news, but now they're exposing news about wealthy people... 'No zuo no die' (a Chinese internet slang term for someone who does stupid things)?"

A few years ago, this shrewish man called the husband of a newlywed actress and bluntly said, "Handsome, when I was keeping your wife, I was paying her 500,000 a month. Later, I got tired of her, otherwise you wouldn't be the one left holding the bag, handsome! Hehe..."

All I can say is that he really knew how to cause trouble later on. Maybe he lost everything and went a little crazy. Zhang San shook his head. If he had listened to Boss Liu's advice during the 1998 Asian financial crisis, he would have been fine, but he didn't.

If before 1998 he was a big winner in life, a perfect inspirational life template, then after 1998 he became insane.

However, Zhang San kept marveling as he watched, feeling quite full, as if he had eaten too much gossip and had exposed many celebrities.

He thought about it and realized that after 94, Hong Kong films went downhill, lost the Taiwanese market, and then started making films haphazardly, losing the mainland market. Then, under the impact of Hollywood special effects films, they gradually went to the entire Asian market.

As celebrities' incomes decline, they begin to look for ways to make a living. Only the veteran stars who remain popular can survive well; other newer stars have basically lost their spotlight.

The rise of the Southern Dynasty further exacerbated the already dire situation for Hong Kong stars' incomes.

With incomes plummeting, some circles have become even more decadent, truly turning into the backyard paradise that Hong Kong's tycoons talk about.

If he had only exposed the scandals of female celebrities, it would have been just scandals at most. Female celebrities are used to it; exposure might even increase their fame—even infamy is still fame. But he also exposed the private lives of many wealthy people, which is truly…

He felt that being alive was already a blessing from heaven.

However, this actually made him even less likely to be targeted, though his business was essentially gone.

"If this continues, won't everyone be filled with anxiety?"

Then he flipped through the pages and found his own melon, which clearly described himself in great detail.

Entertainment Weekly articles are mostly about interviews with Luo Dazui.

"I know that billionaire who was once worth $3.5 billion. We first met in Boss Liu's office. Let me tell you, even though he was young back then, he was already keeping two beautiful women..."

It tells the story of Zhang San taking care of Tianmei and Xiaofen, and also pursuing Zhou Yunu and Guan Meiren; it also specifically points out that the big boss Liu even sought help from Zhang San.

"You don't know, that white moonlight diamond necklace that *** always wears around her neck was something she begged from him back then. She did him a huge favor and that's how she got that diamond necklace."

"He has many diamond necklaces like that; several of his women have them, and they're all better than that 'White Moonlight' necklace. As for where they came from, I have no idea."

"You're saying it's man-made? No, absolutely not. In the early 1990s, diamonds that big couldn't be manufactured, and it's not cubic zirconia either. I've seen his woman wear them once or twice; they were red, yellow, and blue—all top-quality."

"He was very rich back then. You know that villa on the Peak, right? It was once his. He bought it for HK$50 million in 1990 or 1991."

"You all know Guan Meiren, right? She retired from acting later. Why? Of course, because she's rich. Now she's a multi-millionaire. Don't you know who she's relying on? She owns many villas now, and even more residences. She lives off the rental income from these properties. She couldn't be happier."

"Zhou Yunu, she must have had an affair with him, and she's currently a rising star heavily promoted by Paul & Co..."

Putting down the documents, Zhang San had a bad feeling. He knew something bad was going to happen after he said that, and sure enough…

The phone on the table rang.

"Third Brother, I heard you gave the sisters diamond necklaces, is that true? They want some too. I feel like with my fair skin, wearing black will make me look even fairer."

A sickeningly sweet voice came through the microphone, making Zhang San wonder if his blood sugar was about to skyrocket!
