Hollywood Tycoon [US Entertainment + Business War]

Jed was choked by the man in black's words. In fact, Jed didn't know what was wrong with him. On the one hand, he strongly identified with his Jewish identity, but at the same time, he was avoiding his Chinese identity.It is interesting to say that Jed's Jewish and Chinese ancestry actually only account for a quarter, and the remaining half is of serious English Puritan ancestry.

But since Jed was reborn in Hollywood, he deliberately stopped keeping in touch with Jed's existing relatives. In fact, Jed's paternal and maternal lines are very powerful families.The paternal Sherman family is the founding father family of the United States. This family now has a high status in New England and the American education circle, but Jed has not returned to New Haven for more than five years. Sherman The seat of the family home.And his mother is the daughter of a former KMT senior officer, and his grandfather obviously lives in San Francisco, but Jed has never visited her.

But as if there was some kind of tacit understanding, Jed didn't visit them, and they didn't care about Jed anymore.The only time Jed remembered that he still had relatives was when the "murder conspiracy theory" broke out shortly after the car accident. The Sherman family in New Haven issued a strongly worded statement in the "New York Times". The statement also forced the Los Angeles government to reopen the investigation of the car accident.Although the case is still pending today, at least it is not as prevaricated as before.

Seeing that Jed didn't make a sound, the man in black laughed softly, "Mr. Sherman, you know that you have so many resources behind you that even our boss is very jealous, but you don't know how to use them. We have paid attention to You, find that your relationship with the New York media is very bad, but you have to know that your last name is one of the most prominent elite surnames in the New York metropolitan area. As long as you visit your relatives in New Haven, I can guarantee , let alone "Variety Show", even the "New York Times" dare not judge you. I also know that the "San Francisco Chronicle" is one of the few media that opposes you, but your grandfather is a shareholder of this newspaper One, I really don't know what love-hate relationship you have with your grandparents. Mr. Sherman, although this kind of remark is strange to me, I still want to tell you that for us Italians , family is the most important thing.”

"It's true that it's strange to have you teach me these things, but I appreciate your kindness anyway," Jed responded. "I have accepted your information. I will be careful in the near future. But I still hope that you can be more careful. I don't want my money to be wasted. The most important thing is that since you are an ally, you have to show me Your ability?"

"Of course." The man in black didn't deny Jed's words, "We don't like to see other people making trouble on our territory either."

After the two of them finished talking, they left the inconspicuous little bar.Not long after Jed went out, he ran into John. He looked at Jed coldly, with a sneer on his lips, "I didn't expect Mr. Sherman to have a lot of relationship with the Los Angeles Mafia! It seems that I have to ask Only a salary increase, otherwise I won't have the energy to deal with your endless lawsuits in the future."

"Mr. Kolobo, my relationship with them is not what you imagined." Jed explained, "The business cooperation between me and them does not involve any illegal transactions, so all transactions can withstand investigation. As for my cooperation with them under the table, if you are interested, I can tell you in my office."

"Then I'm very interested to hear it." John said coldly. "Mr. Sherman, do you really think your accounts are clean? If your accounts are clean enough, why did I find out that you have a relationship with them? Since you are still my client now, I can give you a chance Come and explain. If your explanation doesn't satisfy me, then I have no choice but to resign and leave."

Jed took John back to his office, but as soon as Jed entered his office, he locked the door of the office. "Perhaps you don't believe it, the office has been specially remodeled, the glass is the best bulletproof glass, and the air outlet has a lock bar made of fine steel, and there is actually a very strong but very light material inside the wooden door. That is to say, as long as I lock the door of the office, this office can withstand heavy fire bombing for at least 15 minutes, and it is only 5 minutes away from the nearest police station."

"It's indeed a good device for delaying time, but I want to know, what's the point of locking yourself here?"

"Didn't you say there is a secret room in my office, you can come in and take a look." Jed touched the buttons under his desk, and suddenly the bookcase on the right side of the office parted, revealing a door made of fine steel . "This door can withstand heavy fire for at least 10 minutes." Jed led John into the secret room.This secret room is like a shrunken bachelor apartment, except that there is no kitchen and living room. "The communication system and power system here are independent. I will put some things that are inconvenient to be disclosed here. There is also a very important safe hidden here. Sorry, I can't tell you where it is. But that safe can fully bear The bombing of the nuclear bomb, and after suffering a strong impact, it will automatically activate the internal GPS alarm message to tell me its location. In addition, there is an extremely fast elevator here, and it only takes 25 seconds to descend from here to the basement floor. Of course, it is very uncomfortable ...and there will be a Cadillac Fleetwood waiting for me that doesn't belong to President Clinton."

"Mr. Sherman, I'm curious, is it necessary for you to give yourself almost presidential-level security treatment?" John asked back with some doubts. "As far as I know, after what happened back then, there is no need for the other party to kill you."

"But what if I'm looking for the truth?" Jed asked rhetorically. "I can't tolerate unsafe factors around me. Besides, do you really think that the Sherman family will keep you secret?" In fact, Jed only learned about the secrets in his mansion from Old Bell. Chamber of Secrets.While Marbury and Santa Monica's vacation homes don't have secret rooms, there are the necessary secret escape routes.Jed even suspected that the mansions of veteran families like Rockefeller, Morgan, and DuPont even had a war situation analysis room that was not inferior to that of the White House.Therefore, after learning these secrets from the old Bell, when the Dongfeng Building was being built, Jed also arranged a special construction team to build his own secret room.Old Bell praised this very much, the place where his master is must have such a last place to protect himself.It's just that in addition to storing some unsuitable materials, Jed's secret room is more about the historical development track recorded by him according to his memory.This part of the data is stored in a more secure bag in the safe. If someone tries to open it by force, it only takes five seconds to destroy all records.

"So you established your secret base here, and cooperated with some dark forces to try to find out the truth?" John asked. "The mafia is not what you imagined. Do you really think you will be able to push yourself out in the future? Especially when you are important to them, they would rather kill you than let you go."

"Don't forget who my parents are, they don't have that much guts." Jed laughed rather self-deprecatingly.

"Let's go to the office to talk, I'm a little uncomfortable here." John suggested, "I have to review all the materials you have cooperated with them, no matter what, I have to avoid some legal troubles for you first."

"No problem." Jed said as he took out a thick stack of documents from the drawer of the desk in the secret room, "This is a cooperation between me and them, the United Commercial Trust Bank of Los Angeles. I provide them with some good investment projects, and they invest and earn profits from my investment projects. It can be said that in their partnership with them, I am just an investment analyst. There is no accounting connection between me and them, and all All of the money is traded in cash.”

"It's a smart and cautious approach." John returned to the office with the folded documents, and Jed also closed the secret room.John looked at these materials quietly on the sofa, and said for a long time, "You have avoided most of the legal risks wisely, but there are still some clues that will implicate you in the lawsuits they may encounter in the future. But these I can solve the problem, but I hope that when you contact them in the future, I must be present."

"Aren't you afraid of being involved?" Jed asked, "Aren't you disgusted by them?"

"Who asked me to be your personal lawyer?" John laughed, "Besides, my surname has already implicated me."

"I'm going to Los Angeles this weekend to visit my grandpa." Jed asked, "Do you have time to accompany me?"

"I'm not who you are, why do I accompany you to see your grandfather?" John asked back.

"It's not like you don't know what industry my grandfather is in. I'm afraid of getting into any legal risks." Jed said slyly.In fact, Jed is a little "timidated by his hometown". The reason why he dare not take the initiative to contact him is that these relatives will find out that something is wrong with him.But after five years, Jed was not afraid to visit again.Firstly, I and Jed have integrated very well, and secondly, five years is enough to change a lot of things.In fact, as the man in black said, since his family has such a relationship, why not use it?It is certainly a kind of courage to fight alone, but it is also a kind of wisdom to use strength to fight, isn't it?

John looked up at Jed, and finally said: "Okay, I will accompany you on the weekend. But I need to remind you that this is outside of my working hours, and I will ask for overtime pay."

"There's no problem." Jed agreed.Maybe someone will accompany me to see my grandfather, and my mood will calm down a lot. "By the way, I know from that group of people that I'm on the blacklist of a certain professional killer."

"What!" John was startled, "Shouldn't you call the police? Professional killer! Enough for the FBI to dispatch."

"But I have no way to explain my source of information." Jed smiled wryly, "Do you want the police to know that I am involved with the Mafia?"
