Film and Television: I, Xu Lei, won over Chen Shuting

Page 8

The door was pushed open, and Xu Jiang stood in the doorway.

"Dad, are you still angry?"

"You ungrateful wretch! I just said I was planning to get rid of some women, and they already think I'm going to give up my position. Which bastard said I was going to give up my position?"

"I said."

Xu Jiang was stunned for a long time before saying, "Son? Why are you bringing this up?"

"Spread the word and clean up your men. Once you've done that, you can move on to other things. Oh, and Dad, if Uncle Feng tries to stop things or act as a go-between, ignore him. In the meantime, just go have tea with Uncle Tai."

"What's so great about that old codger?"

Xu Lei said with a smile, "Dad, tell me, do you like Uncle Tai's position?"

P.S.: Please support me, thank you everyone.

Chapter Twelve: Smartphones (Seeking support, second update)

Inside the room, Xu Jiang recalled what his son had said to him: "Do you like Uncle Tai's position or not?"

These words kept echoing in Xu Jiang's ears.

After struggling for so many years, Xu Jiang felt that all those years had been wasted when he lost his son. He couldn't even protect his own son.

Now that his son has been rescued, God has opened his eyes and given Xu Jiang a chance to make amends.

Uncle Tai, the old man without a son, Xu Jiang was indeed tempted by this position.

The next day, the news spread throughout Jinghai that Bai Jinhan had removed all the women, and Xu Jiang seemed to be vaguely planning to clear his name.

The most outrageous thing is that just the day before, Feng Dazhuang led his men and robbed Bai Jiangbo.

The next morning, Bai Jiangbo called.

"Xu Jiang, what do you mean? Didn't we say that we're even? Why are your men still trying to seize my battlefield?"

"What, are you on your deathbed this early in the morning? What do you mean 'my men'? Your battlefield was robbed, what does that have to do with me? If you can't find the person, go call the police yourself."

"Aren't you going to take care of Feng Dazhuang?"

“I said I didn’t instigate it, so naturally I won’t interfere.”

Bai Jiangbo was stunned, then said, "You want to back out? Hahaha, Xu Jiang, you actually thought about clearing your name one day. What's laughable is that your subordinates couldn't even hold back for a day and are already planning to replace you."

These words were harsh, but Xu Jiang had no intention of disrupting his son's plans.

"Say what you will, I'm reading right now."

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Bai Jiangbo listened to Xu Jiang reading a book and was momentarily dumbfounded.

Are you reading?

You're reading porn, aren't you? And you're still reading books.

Meanwhile, Xu Lei found his father and said, "Dad, what's going on?"

In the room, Xu Jiang had specially set up a tea table. Wearing glasses, he held a copy of Sun Tzu's Art of War in his hands, reading it with great enjoyment.

Xu Lei couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Dad, studying? Planning to go to college?"

"Just putting on an act, hahaha, I don't understand, I don't understand."

Xu Lei said, "Okay, Dad, I called you to ask if you have any connections overseas. I'm thinking of becoming a mobile phone distributor, and also to talk to the three major telecom operators."

Mobile phone distributor?

"You want to get a PHS phone?"

Xu Lei shook his head and said, "It's not a PHS phone. Let me ask if we can get a smartphone."

"what's that?"

"It's just a technology, bringing the computer to your phone, get it?"

“I don’t understand.”

Xu Lei said helplessly, "Let me put it this way, right now a phone can only make calls, right? In the future, mobile phones will be able to watch TV, read books, even watch movies, and video chat with people."

"Does it make money?"

"It's very profitable, extremely profitable. Moreover, it can open a huge factory and solve some employment problems. That's why I'm asking you for money this time."

The timing of this surge was ambiguous, but it was also the best of times.

It contains so many business opportunities.

The phenomenal profits of legendary games, the computer industry, the nascent real estate sector, the decline of the PHS (Personal Handyphone System), and the subsequent rise of smartphones all emerged during this era.

This is the world of film and television, and Xu Lei is not a professional technician, but since there is a PHS phone, then smartphones must have already been invented.

It just hasn't reached China yet.

The first generation of smartphones was the PHS (Personal Handyphone System), and Motorola didn't launch it until 1999.

Smartphones are already widespread overseas.

It's not quite the same in China, because not many people use smartphones here.

The widespread adoption of smartphones in China only began in the last few years, but smartphones themselves appeared much earlier.

"The telecom operators? You mean China Mobile and China Telecom?"

Xu Lei said, "I need some people to make some phones and lay some circuits, but these are not things we need to research; they will pay for them. We just need to make the smartphones, and the rest will be fine."

Xu Jiang said, "Dad doesn't understand this. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Factory, people proficient in electronic products, some foreign smartphones, etc."

"Easy, how long do you need it for?"

"The sooner the better, Dad. Once the phone is out, go talk to the carriers. Show them the phone and explain its functions. They'll understand, and they might even invest."

Xu Jiang objected, saying, "What investment do you need? If you need money, I'll borrow it for you. In business, you can't share profits with others."

"The people behind those three telecom operators are really powerful, Dad."

Xu Jiang was stunned. Xu Lei pointed to the sky, and Xu Jiang instantly understood.

In the following days, Bai Jiangbo kept searching for Feng Dazhuang.

More and more people are becoming aware of Xu Jiang's withdrawal from the business, and some have even heard that Xu Jiang plans to open a factory or something.

Bai Jiangbo almost died laughing when he heard this news.

Xu Jiang opened a factory, so what? He sent his underlings to work there? They're all gangsters; how could they possibly do manual labor? If they could actually work, why would they still be gangsters?

However, Feng Dazhuang has become increasingly popular recently. One day, he even invited Chengcheng to dinner.

Just half a month later, Feng Dazhuang finally met Uncle Tai. No one knows what they talked about.

Bai Jiangbo suspected that Uncle Tai might be abandoning Xu Jiang and planning to groom Feng Dazhuang instead.

A few days later, Feng Dazhuang acquired a yacht at sea.

I'm planning to invite some people over.

As soon as this happened, Xu Jiang immediately understood and went to have tea with Uncle Tai.

Bai Jiangbo then called Xu Jiang and mocked him.

"Hahaha, Feng Dazhuang contacted your superiors directly. Lao Xu, your underling overstepped his authority and contacted your superiors. What do you think about that?"

"Are you a child? All you do on the phone is curse? I'm having tea with Uncle Tai, I don't have time to talk to you."

Instead of staying home to take care of the children that day, Chen Shuting took a car and went directly to Uncle Tai.

She felt that something was wrong.

P.S.: Please support me, thank you everyone.

Chapter Thirteen: A Video (Seeking Support, Third Update)

At Uncle Tai's house, Xu Jiang was happily drinking tea and eating melon seeds when Uncle Tai asked, "Is the factory you recently set up finished?"

"Well, if you don't plan to get involved in pornography, then listen to my son and open a factory or something."

Uncle Tai said, "Jinghai can't do without this, you have to understand."

"I know, whoever wants to take it can take it, I don't care."

Uncle Tai looked at Xu Jiang in surprise and said, "Xiao Xu, you really don't care?"

"It's alright. Uncle Tai, I know you saw Feng Dazhuang. Dazhuang even called me to ask what I thought. I wasn't angry. My brother is doing well, so I'm benefiting too, right?"

"Once you can have it, the position won't be yours anymore?"

Xu Jiang said, "It's alright, it's alright. My son said that status is ultimately determined by money. Fighting and killing is so uncivilized, isn't it?"

Uncle Tai was stunned for a long time, then burst into laughter and said, "You really have a good son. Little Lei has played a clever trick."

"Oh, I don't know."

Xu Jiang genuinely had no idea what Xu Lei was up to.

At that moment, the door opened, and Chen Shuting walked in, saying directly, "Godfather."

"Shuting, you're here too? Well, looks like you're not stupid. You want to get involved as well, huh?"

Chen Shuting nodded.

Xu Jiang looked completely bewildered.

Chen Shuting took a sip of tea and said, "Has the climb started?"

Uncle Tai closed his eyes and said, "Jinghai is about to change."

At this moment, in the police station, Meng Dehai and An Changlin were in charge of the command center, and some police officers had already begun preparations.

An Changlin was still very worried about his nephew.

At sea, not only were their cell phones confiscated, but their signals were also blocked.

We have absolutely no idea what happened inside.

But soon, a computer was turned on, and images of the officials at sea appeared on it.

When Meng Dehai saw these people, he was dumbfounded.

This situation was beyond his control.

"Xu Lei, you really gave me a wonderful gift."

An Changlin said, "It's just that we don't think we can accept this gift."

"Let me make a call and ask for instructions. Let's prepare to take action."

Meng Dehai went to a corner, silently holding his phone, unsure of who to call.

Xu Lei ignited Meng Dehai's ambition. Meng Dehai saw this gift and realized that as long as he seized this opportunity, his future would be smooth sailing.

After thinking for a moment, I made the call.

On the yacht at sea, Feng Dazhuang and several bigwigs were drinking and chatting when suddenly someone informed them that something had happened on the yacht.

Feng Dazhuang said, "I understand. Take the boat to international waters and have someone take a speedboat to pick them up."

Feng Dazhuang was well aware that something was wrong and had made preparations long ago.

Sometimes, things might be better if something goes wrong, because once something happens, you're completely aligned with this group of people.

"Boss, Zhang Xin is an undercover agent."

Feng Dazhuang said, "Knock him out, tie him to a stone, and throw him into the sea."

"Remember, don't get blood on the ship, understand?"

The subordinates understood immediately.

An Xin looked at herself bound and wondered who had betrayed her.
