Wenchang Bridge·Su House.
In the study room.
Su Wenqing had finally calmed down in the past few days. After going to the Ningxiang Pavilion to apologize, it was business as usual for any property under his name.
He was afraid that even if he bowed his head, Shibuya Saburo would not let him go. Now it seems that this Japanese is quite trustworthy.
"Master, the Wen family has relented, but the asking price is not low." Su Xing knocked on the door and walked into the study, reporting to Su Wenqinghui.
"How many?"
"Half a million."
Su Wenqing closed his eyes and thought about it. Five hundred thousand was indeed too high. The entire new stage was actually worth one hundred thousand. Calculating double the premium, it was two million. Twenty thousand per share was already considered a high price.
If you don't hold out an explosive Xiaoxiang Ning, let alone 20,000 shares, even 15,000 is a huge deal.
"The Ruiqing class that Xiao Xiangning is in hasn't signed a reservation agreement with New Stage yet, has it?" Su Wenqing asked.
"It is said that there is not yet, and there are also conflicts within Ruiqing Class. I found out that there was already a conflict between Xiao Xiangning and Sun Qingkui, the leader of Ruiqing Class. This time, they signed a reservation agreement with New Stage. New Stage's Boss Tang’s conditions are very harsh, especially those that target Xiao Xiangning herself. Xiao Xiangning is naturally unwilling, but Sun Qingkui seems to have reached a private agreement with Tang Peiyuan..."
First domain name m.
"Isn't this Tang Peiyuan attracted to Xiao Xiangning?" Su Wenqing asked. They are both celebrities in Bingcheng and directors of the Chamber of Commerce, so he naturally understands.
"Some rumors say yes. If Sun Qingkui switches to other stages, he will definitely offend Tang Peiyuan, and other stages will not be able to give Tang Peiyuan the resources..."
"Where's Bai Yulan, what's going on?"
"This is exactly what I want to report to you, sir." Su Xing said, "Boss Bai also contacted Tang Peiyuan, but Tang Peiyuan refused directly. After that, they had no contact again."
"oh?"
"But I heard a piece of news about Qin Lang, the second young master of the Qin family. He has been getting closer to the young nephew of the Tang family recently. Tang Shaoqing has done some shameful things behind his back. Moreover, in the hands of this Tang Shaoqing and a three percent share of the new stage inherited from his father.”
"This Qin Lang is involved with Zhou Sen. He will not make friends with Tang Shaoqing for no reason. He must be doing it for the 3% of New Stage shares." Su Wenqing analyzed.
"I guess so. It seems that Boss Bai is not only looking for you, but also has other arrangements." Su Xing nodded in agreement.
"Bai Yulan wants to take over the new stage, and the Qin family and I join the fight to stop her. This is very reasonable, but in this way, won't the acquisition cost increase?"
"No, Bai Yulan must have a way to lower the price. Now that I am buying it, I will pay for it myself, and Qin Lang will not be so stupid. The accident must be in the Ruiqing class!" Su Wenqing asserted.
"Master, are you saying that there will be changes in the cooperation between Ruiqing Class and New Stage?" Su Xing said in surprise.
"That's for sure. Once Ruiqing Class doesn't sign a contract with New Stage, is it still possible for New Stage's shares to be sold at a high price?" Su Wenqing said, "If the person who holds the fame in one hand abandons it and switches to the arms of others, then who will Are you still optimistic about the new stage?"
"Then how do you explain it to Boss Bai?"
"What do you want to explain? Bai Yulan didn't give us a time limit. As long as we get the matter done before the Chamber of Commerce election meeting, there will be no problem." Su Wenqing snorted coldly.
…
New stage·backstage.
Jiang Rou's exclusive dressing room.
"Father, you want to convert the agreement that my senior brother and I signed with you into an agreement with the theater troupe, don't you just want to buy the theater troupe to Boss Tang at a high price." Jiang Rou's attitude was very tough, "It's not wrong for my foster father to change the agreement. Yes, but since you want to sell us to Boss Tang, do we need to adjust some of the terms in the agreement and provide compensation?"
"Xiaorou, are you crazy? I raised you like this and taught you all my skills, and this is how you repay me?" Sun Qingkui was furious.
"You were the one who wanted to sell us in exchange for a sum of money and then have nothing to do with us. Now you are saying that we are ruthless and unjust. If you don't sell the troupe, we will continue to work with you and provide for you until you die. But if you are determined to sell the troupe and use the money to support yourself in old age, then don’t blame us for not cherishing our friendship over the years!" Jiang Rou said.
"Xiaorou, otherwise, after you change the agreement with me, and I sell the Ruiqing Troupe to Boss Tang, you will be the troupe leader. From now on, you will be the one to make the final decision about the troupe, okay?"
"It's okay to transfer the agreement. The previously signed content needs to be changed, as well as compensation and the freedom to choose to withdraw." Jiang Rou insisted.
"No, you absolutely can't quit." Sun Qingkui said, "You are the pillar. If you quit, Boss Tang will not buy Ruiqing Ban."
"Father, you know what boss Tang's intention is in buying Ruiqing Class. If that's the case, why do you want to embarrass Xiaorou?" How can core interests give way?
"Xiaorou, what's wrong with Boss Tang? If you follow him, you'll have fine clothes and fine food, and you won't have to worry about food and clothing. Is this better than anything else?"
"You know, in addition to the principal wife of Boss Tang, there is also an aunt in Boss Tang's family. What would it mean if I followed him?" Jiang Rou said angrily.
"A woman always has to marry. As long as she marries well, why care about how many women he has..."
"Father, I will not wrong myself. If you want to change the agreement, you can do it according to my conditions, otherwise there is no need to negotiate!" Jiang Rou said firmly.
"Jiang Rou, don't forget, you were raised by me, and I am your adoptive father. If you dare not listen to me, you are disobedient and unfilial!"
"You are going to sell me. If I don't want to, it would be disobedient and unfilial. If you were my biological parents, I might not be able to refute it, but you are just my adoptive father. How qualified are you to say this to me?" Jiang Rou asked loudly.
"You, you are simply unreasonable..." Sun Qingkui's old face turned red with anger.
Once again we broke up on bad terms.
Regarding the exchange of agreements, Sun Qingkui has come to Jiang Rou three times. In the first two times, he could still say soft words.
This time, he had lost his patience. After Tang Peiyuan knew that the agreement he signed with Jiang Rou was a separate agreement and had nothing to do with Ruiqing Class, he immediately lowered the price and forced Sun Qingkui to change the agreement. Otherwise, not only would he not acquire Ruiqing Class, During the celebrations, even the reservation agreement was no longer considered.
This made Sun Qingkui extremely anxious. Without such a sum of money, how could he buy a house in Bingcheng for retirement?
While he wanted to sell Ruiqing Ban and Jiang Rou at a good price, he also wanted to continue to let Jiang Rou support him in his old age. Therefore, while exchanging agreements, he also wanted to make two agreements, one with Ruiqing Ban, One share is with him.
But Jiang Rou was not stupid. She would not suck blood from such a person again. She refused directly and asked to change the agreement by herself.
The differences between the two are too big. One is demanding to the point of breaking the bones and sucking the marrow. The other wants to end it completely and get rid of this squeezed and exploited relationship.
There is also Boss Tang, who is greedy for beauty and insatiable.
Under a three-party struggle.
Things just came to a standstill.
…
Yaojing Street, Consulate General of the Soviet Union.
Poporov, director of the Certificates Department, held a rolled-up newspaper in his hand, quickly went upstairs and knocked on the door of Deputy Consul General Arman's office.
"Comrade Arman, have you read today's newspaper, this obituary?" Poporov asked excitedly.
"I've seen it. This is a conspiracy set up by the Japanese." Arman nodded seriously.
"Do we have to wait any longer? If we continue like this, we will be completely passive." Poporov said.
"What did the messenger say?"
"The messenger said that although he trusted her, he always chose to avoid certain issues, and there were many things that she could not say unless her identity was revealed. Once her identity was revealed, there was no room for maneuver." Poporov said.
"We asked the CCP to cooperate with our actions on the messenger. Since she has contacted the target and gained a certain amount of trust, as long as she is by his side, we can grasp some situations. This is beneficial to us. It is best not to reveal her identity for the time being. "
"What if the person who contacted us is really him?"
"Can you guarantee that not only are the Japanese closely monitoring him, but he is also surrounded by Japanese people. Once a stranger approaches, he will definitely be investigated." Arman said, "That's why I want to ask for a request from above. The reason for the assistance from the Chinese Communist Party.”
"Why do the higher-ups want us to establish contact with the target? He won't be of much use to our intelligence work in Ice City?"
"If he is a useless person, why do the Japanese monitor and protect his safety like this?" Arman said, "Do you think the Japanese are full of food?"
"Comrade Arman, I think you are hiding something from me."
"Comrade Poporov, you are an excellent intelligence worker and you should know how the confidentiality regulations are stipulated."
"Yes, I understand." Poporov said sarcastically.
…
In accordance with the rules of the Orthodox Church, Zhou Sen held a solemn and simple farewell ceremony for Anthony's father at the Dormition Church.
In addition to relatives such as Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan, Anthony's friends and subordinates who knew him during his lifetime also came.
Even Rozaevsky and his assistant Migunov came.
Anna represents Shibuya Saburo and the Japanese secret service, while Front is afraid to appear in public because his status as a "traitor" is too dangerous.
He could be killed by Soviet agents lurking in Ice City at any time.
After the farewell ceremony, it was time for the burial. Zhou Sen had already ordered a coffin with only ashes and some clothes.
In fact, the ashes are all fake, this is just a tomb.
But something is better than nothing.
The church has people who are specifically responsible for funeral matters. Once you pay, they can help the family take care of everything without you having to worry about it.
Zhou Sen is not an Orthodox Christian, so he can only spend money to find someone to handle it.
When Russians are buried, the coffin is poured with cement. After filling it with soil, there is no need to build a tomb. It can be tamped slightly higher than the ground and leveled, and then a tombstone can be erected.
After everything was done, the guests dispersed, leaving only Zhou Sen, Bai Yulan, Anna and others in the cemetery.
