Two days later, South Korean police found a body washed ashore on the coast. Although his head was smashed, the autopsy results confirmed that he was Zhou Xingzhe, the captain of the Narcotics Division of the Geumcheon Police Station who was suspected of murder and on the run.

The police determined that he died on the night of his escape, and the murderer was suspected to be his accomplice who fled with him or the human smuggler responsible for the smuggling.

Prosecutor Kim Jun-ho presented a series of evidence at the press conference, indicating that Zhou Xingzhe was related to the death of Zheng Gengxi, the head of the drug enforcement department of the Northern Police Station.

The six bodies that were burned beyond recognition in an abandoned factory were also confirmed to be related to Zhou Xingzhe. Evidence such as guns and vehicles left at the scene indicated that the victims were a group of drug dealers from Taiwan.

For a time, the Korean media once again fell into a hysterical carnival, with all kinds of gossip and so-called "inside" reports flying around. It was said that some directors and screenwriters were already working on the script, preparing to bring the story of this "devil policeman" to the big screen.

At the same time, Jack also boarded a flight back to New York.

"If you are fired from the police department one day, or you don't want to do this anymore, remember to contact me."

Before boarding the plane, he made a phone call gesture to Ma Xidao who came to see him off, which caused the other party to wave his fist in protest.

This guy's style is really wild. Last night, when he was drinking, he actually called over a few girls from a girl group to warm up the party.

Unfortunately, Jack is basically unfamiliar with the Korean entertainment industry. In addition, there are too many girl groups of all sizes in this country, and they all look similar. It can only be said that he has experienced a small part of the happiness of the chaebols.

After entering the first-class cabin, Jack thanked the attentive flight attendant, ordered a cup of Coke, and opened his notebook to start typing.

The short play script I wrote last time based on the American TV series "Chuck" in the previous life was very popular. The first season has been launched on streaming media. Red's girlfriend Leila is still the heroine, playing the sexy Sarah Walker in the play.

This kind of drama of a loser counterattacking as a goddess is quite popular nowadays, and after the experience of the previous short dramas, with the increase in investment, even a lot of special effects shots have been added.

It can be said that compared with ordinary TV series, this short drama has no difference except that the duration is still maintained at fifteen minutes per episode.

Therefore, the poor guy could only hurry up and write. He already had a vague impression of most of the original drama's plot, so he could only make up the rest on the spot.

Fortunately, his life is rich and colorful now, and with a lot of material provided by an old CIA man named Joe Mason, he can make up the spy story in it quite well. It's just that it's a bit difficult to add in the plots of pretending to be cool and then getting slapped in the face.

The Wolf brothers have already arrived in Manila. If they really want to take a boat back directly from South Korea, it will take at least a month. Chris is a busy man now and does not have that much time to spend at sea.

They will process the trip's gains in Manila before flying back to Los Angeles.

Compared to the "little belongings" of Fausto Alarcon, the third in command of the Sonora Group, which they picked up last time, the Wolf brothers' trip was quite fruitful.

The total amount of stolen money from the Korean branch of the "Ichitsu-gumi", Hikaru and Zhou Xingzhe is more than 2150 million US dollars, plus the 5000 million used by the Taiwanese gang for transactions, the total is close to million US dollars.

Jack didn't know exactly how Chris would launder the money, but eventually the windfall would be injected into the newly established "Shangrila" streaming company through a company registered in the Cayman Islands.

Unlike Jack's previous life, although the famous "Netflix" still exists, the company's main business is still CD rental, and its current market value is less than 50 million US dollars.

The company's business is still focused on continuing to expand its model of renting CDs through the Internet, and it has even come up with a new model of renting USB flash drives.

Although it has entered the video playback field, the playback software it developed has extremely poor user experience and is still in the early stages of market development.

The ultimate reason is that the spirit of Internet sharing is still thriving in this world, thanks to the overly active hackers in this world. Major copyright companies are now busy strangling P2P sharing software such as eD2k.

So in this still turbulent and competitive streaming media field, a dark horse that suddenly emerged by relying on the popularity of short videos began to emerge.

Jack, who is not good at naming, tried his best this time and named their new company after the mysterious utopia described by the famous British best-selling author James Hilton in his novel "Lost Horizon".

"Shangrila" means Shangri-La, which is the Western version of "paradise". The short video APP that has already taken shape is named "Shambhala", which is another translation of Shangri-La, and is abbreviated as "SBL" by Jack.

According to Chris's estimation, after receiving this unexpected wealth, plus the first US$5000 million investment from the Anderson family, the newly established "Shangri-La" company will have enough cash flow to last for a long time.

Compared to Jack's previous life, Netflix, which was reborn with only $6000 million in financing and dominated the streaming video field, "Shambhala" can be said to have a pretty good start.

But the problem is that both Chris and Jack, as well as the Anderson family as investors, tend to be conservative in their development plans for the new company.

The so-called conservative means that there is no plan to go public in the future. In fact, there are many large companies in not only a certain Eastern country but also European and American countries that are not listed.

Not to mention those European luxury brands controlled by aristocratic families, there are also IKEA, Lego, the Mars Group that sells Dove chocolate, and Bloomberg, which focuses on the big data field and used to like to give each new employee a fish tank for daydreaming.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, Chris and Jack will have to worry about the company's financial problems for a long time. The expenses of building data centers and hiring thousands of software engineers are only small money. The real money-burning expenses are the purchase of various copyrights and the investment in the development of new IPs.

Especially when it comes to developing IP, Jack alone cannot do it even if he types until his keyboard starts smoking. Fortunately, he is now halfway into the circle of best-selling authors, and he has well-known writer friends like Cassel.

All in all, the prospects are good, but there is still a long way to go to realize their ambitions.

However, after temporarily solving the funding problem, the development of the new company will accelerate, and another problem will become somewhat urgent, that is, Zoe's political career.

After all, the Anderson family is just one of the old-school political families in California, and is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand, let alone its influence in Washington.

Although Zoe's grandfather, old Anderson, still has many students and old friends, and with the full support of the family's side branches, Zoe is now hailed as a rising star in California's political arena.

But a rising star is just a rising star after all, and it takes some time to accumulate experience. Besides, the Senate seats in Congress are re-elected every six years. Although the terms of the two seats overlap, there are still two years before the next re-election.

This also means that unless there is an unexpected event in one of California's two Senate seats, Zoe will have to wait at least two years before she can actually enter Washington and become a member of Capitol Hill.

Neither Jack nor Chris could help with this kind of thing unless they were willing to go all out and kill a senator.
