Chapter One of the Night

   Chapter 115 Big News

   "Tsk tsk, interesting!"

  An Xiaojing put on the bathrobe temporarily, but Xu Zhenghua put on his pants instead. We just found the entertainment channel of Datang TV Network, and Lu Ming has already knocked on the door.

  The big news that broke a few hours ago is being broadcast on TV.

The lead singer Zheng Zhiguo and drummer Hadano of   Tree Chopping Band were arrested directly backstage after participating in a performance somewhere in Northeast China on suspicion of murder, rape, intentional injury and other crimes.

Datang TV Network is worthy of being a super TV station. The action is fast enough. At this moment, the interview car on the front line has already driven to the door of the local police station. A group of guests in the interview room have various discussions, and from time to time they cut the screen to the interview car. , and an interview with several other members of the tree-cutting band not long ago will be inserted in the middle.

"Slander! It's definitely slander! Lao Zheng and Lao Qin are the kind of people who are very disciplined and law-abiding, and I absolutely don't believe they would do such illegal things! I look forward to the police department's investigation results as soon as possible, and Lao Zheng Innocent with Lao Qin! They must be innocent!"

  Tang Bin, the bassist of the band Chopping Tree, yelled at the reporter's camera.

  Lu Ming laughed "hehe", "Actually, there have been all kinds of gossip about them in the circle for a long time, but this kind of thing is unfounded, so I just have to listen to it. I didn't expect it to be true."

   Then he told Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing about those gossips vividly.

   It is said that Zheng Zhiguo himself said that he once joined forces to kill people.

It is rumored that the incident happened when he and Qin Ye were both working as lumberjacks in the same forest farm. Of course, it has been two or three years, but it is said that once their band held a meeting without cover, Zheng Zhiguo was probably drunk, or maybe Are you hi? It's hard to say, anyway, he was bragging, saying that he even killed XXX in the past - not one or two people present, five members of their band, plus it is said that seven or eight flesh and blood, plus their Broker, a dozen people.

   Then, the news spread, and it was circulated in the music circle.

   Originally, everyone didn’t really believe it, but I never expected that the police would immediately arrest people.

  This is true if the investigation ends...

Rock bands, just like that, even in the music world, they are notoriously messy and fun-loving. If you want to say which rock band has a bare-bones convention, or even fights, it is hardly news. But murder and **** are relatively rare in this domestic atmosphere.

Let’s not talk about rape, because if you are a band player, if you are a little famous, there is no shortage of women. Even famous movie stars and famous models are willing to stick to the past to be flesh and blood, which is not uncommon. Unless they are crazy, otherwise You really don't want to do this kind of stupid shit.

And to be honest, even if this kind of thing really happened, as long as the woman is not too tough, the record company or the record company should pay for it themselves, they can usually put out the fire before things ferment. .

  But killing is...

   As long as it is true, normally no one can seal it.

   In the past six months, the tree-cutting band has been very popular, and their debut album has already gone to the diamond album. If they are popular, even if they are as popular as Jin Xiaoqing and Du Xuelan, they have to bow their heads in front of them.

And the problem is that the fans of rock bands are generally very long-term. A big hit album is usually a big hit that year, and it will continue to sell in the second year, and it will be a small sale in the third year - even after ten or twenty years. , as long as they appear, as long as they have no problems internally, they will still be sought after by all kinds of people.

   This kind of pursuit will continue to hold them up until they become old men, and when they appear on the stage, they are still a tsunami.

   But if once the murder is true...

   That's it!

   "Just for this shit?"

   After watching the news for twenty minutes, Xu Zhenghua turned his head to look at Lu Ming, his eyes were sharp as if he wanted to kill someone, "Just for this little gossip?"

  Lu Ming was chasing the gossip happily, and when he heard the words, he turned around and noticed Xu Zhenghua's gaze, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, and then slowly came back to his senses, "Uh... uh I..."

Since their popularity, the members of the tree-cutting band have been quite arrogant in their conduct and deeds, because their title song "Kankanfatan" has become popular, but it has been successively praised by "Beautiful Eyes", "When Love is Approaching" and "Thousands of Thousands". Que Song was suppressed by a strong force, and they failed to win the A-list championship even for a week, so they had nothing good to say about Du Xuelan, An Xiaojing and Jin Xiaoqing. When interviewed, they said strange things many times.

   This is not news, several girls have complained to Xu Zhenghua before.

   But the other party is too popular, and his side is the winner, so both Kojima Records and Oriental Star ask the girls to ignore them, and they don't have to fight back.

  When you quarrel with a rock band, don’t care whether you take advantage of it or not, whoever quarrels or doesn’t wins will definitely suffer in the end.

   His fans are obviously more **** than yours.

   The intersection of the fans of both sides is likely to be lost.

   The three girls are relatively obedient, and no one has to argue with them.

   But when people say weird things around you, you will definitely feel aggrieved.

   The hatred has been forged.

   That's why Lu Ming was so excited to tell this - he thought that both Xu Zhenghua and An Xiaojing would be happy to see the tree-cutting band unlucky, but he didn't expect that Xu Zhenghua was not very happy.

   After trying to understand something, he smiled awkwardly and couldn't stay in the room any longer, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, so I need to make a quick phone call." Then he wiped his body and ran away.

   Xu Zhenghua glared at him, and didn't look back until the door was closed.

  Mom is so **** off, just lubricated, yet to go in!

   I knew it was this kind of shit, so I scolded him and told him not to come here!

   After he left, Xu Zhenghua picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and went to hug An Xiaojing.

  An Xiaojing giggled, cheated and hided, and turned on the TV again.

   "No, I want to watch TV!"

   "According to the information currently available, it is very likely that this is just Zheng Zhiguo bragging, because this case was closed by the local police three and a half years ago, and the murderer has also been arrested..."

   "Stop! Stop! Stop for a second... It's about to crack!"

"But in the case of rape, according to what we know of the police, if there were no whistleblowers, they would not have been arrested directly. What's more, they are all celebrities, and if something goes wrong, it will greatly damage the reputation of the police... "

   "Hmm...hmm..."

  …………

  To be honest, although Xu Zhenghua doesn't care or pay attention at all, the tree-cutting band, as a new force in the music scene that has become popular this year, suddenly broke out this shocking news, which really shook the entire entertainment industry.

   And in this era, the TV media industry is extremely developed. In the afternoon, there are already countless TV stations tracking and reporting on it.

   When Xu Zhenghua got up in the morning to run around the street where the hotel is located, he heard a group of uncles and aunts who got up early and exercised in the morning talking about it.

   Once the murder case is confirmed, it will most likely be the worst landslide incident in the entertainment industry this year.

When he finished running and returned to the hotel, he had just entered the lobby when he received a call from Guan Yulan. She told Xu Zhenghua that if a reporter blocked him to interview this matter, let him speak as carefully as possible, nothing more than " Trust the police", "Hope things will come to light soon" and so on.

   Xu Zhenghua agreed.

   Of course he didn't bother to get involved in this kind of thing.

Besides, the Tree Chopping Band is so popular, the sales of albums alone have already exceeded 100 million. In the future, if they get a diamond album, that is 160 million in sales. Even if they are purely on their own, they will be able to sell their next album, plus commercial performances. value, and they are bound with the interests of not knowing how many people and companies.

Don't say that the truth of the matter is still unclear. Although the word "arrest" is used in the police notice, the attitude is actually not that strong or conclusive. Take 10,000 steps back, even if it is finally convicted and sentenced , if you stand up and act as a fighter of justice, you will offend many people.

   Thinking about it further, put aside the big crimes and the small ones, is it true that the guilt is also put aside? Just this way of going to the backstage and arresting so many people in front of so many people is full of gunpowder.

  The Tree Chopping Band has a record company and a brokerage company, and the Yellow River Records behind the Old City Wall Records is also one of the top six in the industry. It is a big consortium with extraordinary power and connections.

Normally, even if they want to arrest, they can actually come to the case quietly after communication. Even if they send someone to arrest, they can choose a better time, such as... at least there are fewer people. Bar?

  Murder is a felony crime, and the big consortium does not dare to resist it, but the way of arrest can still be coordinated to some extent.

   But none!

   Just like that, he was handcuffed and walked away in front of everyone's eyes.

   To say that Old City Wall Records and Yellow River Records would give up such a cash cow before they were completely convicted, Xu Zhenghua would not believe it anyway.

   That can only be an explanation, other forces also intervened.

   makes the police not dare to sell Yellow River Records.

   What kind of person has such great ability?

   To put it bluntly, it is at least one of the top six in the industry, maybe two, or even three.

  The tree-cutting band is too popular, there is a chance to get down on the ground, how can the competitors let it go!

   In such a chaotic battle between big forces, you will only get involved if you are crazy!

   If you don’t make money, why bother!

Why bother!

   "Don't worry, no one will interview me before the song goes on sale! You might as well worry about letting this kind of news hit the market, and whether it will affect the ranking of my first single!"

   Listening to Guan Yulan babbling over there, Xu Zhenghua interrupted her with a direct sentence, and then hung up.

Don't even think about it, even though "Kankanfatan" had lost its stamina and dropped out of the top 30, but as soon as this news broke out, no matter black or red, or black and red, "Kankanvartan" 's rankings will definitely rebound - and this kind of explosive news will have a particularly great influence on the list in a short period of time!

   My own song will be released next week.

   It is impossible to say that it will not be affected at all, just to see if the fever will subside on the news next week.

When    opened the door and went in, he found that An Xiaojing had also woken up.

   "It's all your fault! As soon as you touch the stool, it hurts. If someone finds out, you'll be embarrassed!"

   She was going to catch up, and she was going to have breakfast to gather in a hurry. When Xu Zhenghua opened the door and came in, she had just finished washing and was about to sneak back to her room, and she couldn't help complaining when she met.

   But soon, she couldn't complain anymore, she just closed her eyes and hummed.

   So she was almost late.

  The management of the crew is very strict, even if you are a big name, you will be deducted for being late, and the key is that it is rumored that a certain person is always late for playing a big name, and the reputation is really bad.

   After she left, Xu Zhenghua could take a quick shower before going out to eat breakfast, and then Lu Ming drove him to the studio, said hello to Zhao Qubing, and officially left.

It's rare that Zhao Qubing takes singing seriously, "This drama can be finished from the end of November to the beginning of December. After finishing the production, I will go back, and we should be able to record at that time. I will continue to practice seriously during this time. of."

"no problem."

   The approximate time for the recording was settled, Xu Zhenghua got in the car and asked Lu Ming to take him to the airport.

  An Xiaojing glanced over with some resentment and dissatisfaction.

   But there is no way, Xu Zhenghua can't waste time here just to be with her.

   His music debut, the single disc of "First Experience of Love", will be released next week, and the single MV will premiere on the Tiangong TV network next Saturday, November 6th.

   There are still five or six days before that, and he has to deal with some obviously more urgent matters.

   Once the single goes on sale and starts to promote, it will be too busy to hit the back of the head.

   Before getting on the plane, I called the big sister to make sure that Jiang Xiaomi had not returned home for the blind date. Xu Zhenghua said that he would go there for lunch at noon, and then called Lu Liguo to ask him to pick him up at the airport.

   After getting off the plane, I went straight to Jiang Xiaomi's house by car.

  When we eat at noon, we can chat while eating.

The land in Yanjiao will not be bought yet. The investment in stocks, mainly Oracle, has also been temporarily postponed, but the three small companies that Xu Zhenghua is optimistic about will have to be contacted by Xie Shuyi. The other is the one in Quancheng. Clothing company, he is also ready to win - the time card is indeed a coincidence, if we can negotiate and win it in November, we will be able to sell it in January after the new year. 10,000, you can save over 2 million in taxes, why not do it?

   Of course, Xie Shuyi also needs to run for him.

  The one who handled this acquisition in Quancheng would be Xie Shuyi's old club. The two parties knew each other well. At present, the risk is not high.

"Currently, the available deposits in your account are a little over 5.3 million. For this acquisition alone, it will cost 4 to 4.5 million, and 500,000 will be reserved for losses. Although Hailong Garment Company has suffered losses year after year, But the scale of the company is not small, are you sure that while buying it, you also need to invest in something else?”

   This is actually the usual attitude of Senior Sister.

   She is not too optimistic about those technology start-up companies, and has repeatedly warned Xu Zhenghua for fear that Xu Zhenghua's investment will go to waste.

   Xu Zhenghua certainly couldn't tell her that she was absolutely sure that the future would be the world of computers and networks. In the next two or three decades, this is the latest development direction of productivity, and the president will be very popular.

   said that Xie Shuyi would not believe it.

  She is professional in accounting, she only trusts the data in her hands.

   That is... Most of these start-ups will die in the year they are founded, less than 30% of them can survive until the second year, and less than 10% of them can survive until the third year.

   Those who can grow up smoothly in the end... are pitiful.

   Xu Zhenghua was powerless to refute.

But he insisted on investing, "It doesn't matter, I haven't carried a penny of the loan on my body so far. Simply speaking, there is no financial risk at all. Next, I'm going to take the songs of "Thousand Thousand Que Song" and "Beautiful Eyes". The long-term earnings of the singles that have been released can be mortgaged, and it is not a problem to take out a loan of one or two million. My own new song is about to be released, and those expected earnings can also be mortgaged, not to mention my Zhenghua musician. I have the copyright in my hands, and as long as the singles do well after they are released, the bank will kneel and beg me to take Zhenghua Music as a mortgage.”

   In short, "I'm not short of money!"

   He persevered and seduced, "Although money is important, it's totally unnecessary to save it after earning a little bit of money. I'll spend it now if I have money, and what I'm buying is an opportunity for great wealth."

   Xie Shuyi couldn't persuade him, so she had to agree.

But I couldn't help but complain, "In less than a year, you will earn 10 million yuan. As you said, when your own singles and albums are released, you can earn 50 million yuan next year, which is not enough. Are you rich?"

   Of course not.

But it's boring to brag about this kind of **** before I succeed, "Of course it's not enough! I want to support you, Xie Shumin, master and wife, and my parents? I feel that Xu Zhengxia is not very promising. I As the eldest brother, do you want to be responsible for buying him a house and marrying a wife in the future? Also, do you want to prepare a large dowry for Xu Lijun? How can this be without money?"

   Xie Shuyi irritated him.

   Even as he said, how much would it cost to raise so many people and do so many things?

   For a quasi-billionaire who can earn tens of millions a year, or even dare to brag that he will earn 50 million next year, what kind of money is this?

   And, "You just need to raise Xie Shumin, I don't need you to raise me!"

  Yes, don't raise the bar.

  I know you are thin-skinned.

I decided on the general direction of the investment during one lunch, and I stayed there in the afternoon to drink tea and chat with her, and even heard her call Xie Shumin in front of her, until she even had dinner. Now, Xu Zhenghua took the car back to his home.

   In the afternoon, she mentioned Jiang Xiaomi's blind date several times.

  Speaking of which, the Ming Dynasty has long clarified in the constitution that freedom of marriage is the basic right of the people, but in a family like the Jiang family, it is impossible for their children and children to want to have independent and free marriage.

   It is said that Jiang Xiaomi's blind date this time is a rising star of their family's textile company, an important future executive who is very optimistic about her grandfather and her father.

   is also to win over by marriage.

   In a country that has never experienced the burning flames of revolution, those moderate reforms and reforms, no matter how hard they are, will not change many things at the root.

   Marriage is actually a trivial matter.

   It was Monday. When he was going to the school cafeteria to eat at noon, Yuan Weizheng was trying to ask Xu Zhenghua to go to the recording studio to teach him how to sing, but Xu Zhenghua's cell phone suddenly rang.

   He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number from Quancheng.

   After thinking about it for a while, the connection was made. A somewhat unfamiliar sweet voice came from the microphone, "Hello? Is that you? Xu Zhenghua?"

  Xu Zhenghua's mind was transferred.

   His ability to remember people and events is actually super powerful. This voice sounds familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while, "It's me, who are you?"

  On the other end of the phone, after the lady made sure that the call was correct, her voice seemed to be much more relaxed, "The kind of ring made of Coke pull tabs is clearly intended to deceive little girls. Have you given it to many people?"

"what……"

   He remembered it, and said affectionately, "Of course not, I only gave it to one person..."

   On the other end of the phone, the young lady chuckled lightly and ignored the stubbornness, "In the morning, I heard that your sister is going to leave a piece of information about Hailong's clothing. We attach great importance to it and have already sent someone to rush over."

   "Oh... what's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

   "Are you going to buy it?"

"Uh……"

   How would Xie Shuyi deal with this matter? Xu Zhenghua didn't ask the details.

   But it can be deduced from this sentence: Xie Shuyi did not reveal that her employer is herself, but the young lady guessed it by herself!

  So...have I ever shown off my wealth in front of the young lady?

No!

  So, how could she have thought that I would buy this kind of multi-million dollar business?

"I just want to remind you that the clothing company suffered a lot of losses. The key is that apart from the land that is still worth a bit of money, the equipment in the factory is very old. If you want to run a business, I'm afraid you will have to spend a lot of money on new equipment. Xie Shuyi must know this, but I'm afraid she won't be able to persuade you. In short...you have to be careful."

  Wow, how warm you are!

   A Coke ring in exchange for these words—the point is, these words are clearly damaging the business of their firm, and the boss of that firm is her father!

   "Well, I see, thank you Meiyi."

"what?"

   The lady opposite was stunned for a moment, and then she said in surprise: "So you know my name?"

  Xu Zhenghua smiled, as pompous and flirtatious as always, "Ha, I knew it last year, for a girl as beautiful as you, how could I not even ask about her name!"

   On the other end of the phone, the young lady chuckled, "By the way, I've always wanted to tell you. I really like the four songs you wrote, and they all sound very good. Also..."

   "Huh? What?"

   "Just to remind you that bracelets can't be given to girls casually. Generally, they are given to the younger generation by the elders, and between men and women, at least they can only be given after they are engaged."

"Uh……"

   Well, Miss, you are really "insight MAX"!

   has given Xie Shuyi a bracelet, so I can't tease you anymore, right?

   means received.

   "Got it, thank you!" he said.

   "Yeah." Miss Sister agreed, "Goodbye!"

"goodbye!"
