Chapter 112 Explosion
In the early morning of the next day, Yang Cheng and Georgina were wearing couple bathrobes, leaning on each other at the head of the bed, engrossed in watching the morning news broadcast on TV.
A raging fire in a certain factory is being shown on TV, and there are also scenes of firefighters using high-pressure water jets to put out the fire.
Last night, a large production base of Budweiser Beer in Tennessee encountered a power short circuit. Due to the negligence of the on-duty personnel, a large area caught fire, ignited a high-pressure storage tank, and a violent explosion occurred.
It is reported that the production base covers an area of about 300 mu. There are 15 malt storage warehouses alone, with a total storage capacity of nearly 10,000 tons. The production line using the latest capping technology can fill 500-600 bottles of beer per minute.
Although the explosion caused Budweiser a direct loss of more than 300 million U.S. dollars, and the indirect loss is immeasurable. It is expected that the stock price of Budweiser will plummet at the opening of the morning. Fortunately, there were no casualties in the disaster.
. . .
The news anchor's voice continued, and Yang Cheng turned up the volume.
"Is this your handwriting?" Georgina asked without expression on Yang Cheng's chest.
"Hehe, this is just the beginning. Compared to those of my dead subordinates, Louis's compensation is not enough to calm my anger." Yang Cheng also had no expression on his face, and his voice was even more flat, not out of revenge at all. Excited for success.
"Oh~ this method is too radical!" Georgina sighed softly, moving her long eyelashes, her red lips imprinted on Yang Cheng's cheek.
Yang Cheng stroked Georgina's side face, and asked back, "Then why aren't you aggressive? To be honest, in my opinion, I've been merciful if I didn't kill Louis directly!"
Georgina stretched her arms and wrapped them around Yang Cheng's waist, thinking for a while before saying anything.
"Hehe, don't worry about me. Last time I asked you to help me get a batch of thoroughbred horses to the new ranch. How is the progress?" Yang Cheng didn't want to discuss Louis Lehman too much, and when he mentioned it, he felt a fire in his heart, and said decisively Change the subject.
"Do you think there are a lot of thoroughbred horses, so they are easy to get?" Georgina pinched the soft flesh around Yang Cheng's waist, furious.
"Okay, the stables on the ranch have just been renovated and are waiting for the owners to move in. I want to get the horses here as soon as possible so that they can adapt to the new living environment." Yang Cheng explained while holding Georgina's hand.
The two lingered on the boat for a while, Yang Cheng bathed and changed under Georgina's gentle and virtuous service, and drove to work in the company full of energy.
———————————
"Morning, boss." In the office on the top floor, just as Yang Cheng stepped out of the elevator, Su Su stood up in a panic and said hello, her face full of resentment.
Yang Cheng waved Hansen and the others to rest, opened his suit, sat on Susu's table and teased, "Why does the beauty have such an expression? Brother, who bullied you?"
"Hmph, you're the one who bullied me." Susu wrinkled her nose cutely and snorted softly.
Yang Cheng pretended to be surprised, "When did I bully you?" In fact, he knew that he had indeed left the girl in the cold these two days. As a woman, she was very emotional when she just handed over herself, and if she was a little careless, she would think Men don't love her anymore.
"You, you~" Su Suyou didn't follow up for a long time, a frustrated expression appeared on her face, and her big eyes were instantly covered with mist when she was anxious.
"Okay, I was wrong, I'll take you to have fun for a few days after you've been busy, aren't you angry?" Yang Cheng gently hugged Susu's uneven body into her arms.
"No, there's no need." The girl knew how to measure, she was afraid of delaying Yang Cheng's business, she wiped the corner of her eyes and tried to shirk.
But Yang Cheng couldn't refuse, "That's it, let's work with peace of mind, by the way, tell Ruiz to come up to see me."
Ten minutes later, Ruiz Khan walked into the office in a stiff black suit, and Yang Cheng was checking emails.
"Sit down, what do you want to drink?" Yang Cheng asked casually, taking a glance.
"No need, boss, I just had coffee, what can I order?" Ryze was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses today, and he had a bit more of an otaku temperament than before.
Yang Cheng shrugged,
Without forcing it, he leaned on the high-backed boss chair, crossed his hands on the table, and asked, "The Expendables 3 premiered last night, right?"
"Yes, the box office is not very satisfactory, and it meets our expectations." Ruiz couldn't hide a smile, and replied gloatingly.
Yang Cheng also smiled, "How much is the box office expected for the first weekend?"
"Hehe, Mark Laches reported that it is expected to exceed 20 million U.S. dollars. I estimate that if he can get 16 million U.S. dollars, he should be happy." Ruiz mocked Mark Laches. Come, it's like a drop in the ocean.
"US$16 million? Fuck, this tm loses our money." Yang Cheng already regarded Lions Gate as his own industry.
"Boss, there is an old Chinese saying that long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Now that The Expendables 3 is getting worse at the box office, the sooner we can kick out Mark Laches and take control of Lionsgate." Ruiz comforted.
Yang Cheng nodded, grinned and struggled, "I also understand the truth, alas, since this is the case, why not add more fire, find a way to leak the source of the film, and let Lionsgate's stock price fall even harder."
Ruiz stared, his temples were protruding, his teeth were hurting, sister, the boss is still ruthless.
But I have to admit that once this big move is made, Mark Laches will no longer be able to stand up, "I understand, I will arrange it when I go down."
Yang Cheng knocked on the table and warned, "We must keep it secret, and we must not let people know that we did it, otherwise, our reputation will be rotten."
Ryze nodded solemnly.
"Also, has the Focus Pictures deal been completed?" Yang Cheng continued to ask with a pen in his hand.
"The shares held by James Ramos have been handed over, and the cost is less than 20 million US dollars, but Universal's side..."
Yang Cheng was still waiting for the next words, but suddenly there was no sound, and when she raised her head, she saw that Ruiz was frowning and remembered something, so she had to remind her, "What's wrong with Universal?"
Ruiz smiled wryly, "Universal is also very optimistic about Fifty Shades of Grey. I have been strongly rejected by them several times."
"Damn it, nothing goes right." Yang Cheng complained, rubbing her face with a headache.
Ruiz grabbed his curly hair, and could only be a handsome man quietly.
"Let me fly to LA, you stay in the company, urge Eddie to complete the inner side of the Toutiao app as soon as possible, and go online as soon as possible, and also preside over the bottom-hunting operation of Lionsgate's stock. As soon as our stock exceeds 50%, we will immediately hold a board meeting .” Yang Cheng let out a sigh of relief, and explained the task to Ruiz.
If I had known, the last time I was in Los Angeles, I went directly to Universal and bought the shares together, so as to save myself the trouble of taking off my pants and farting.
But before flying to Los Angeles, Yang Cheng still has something to do.
