Chapter 72 End-Start
(This episode can be regarded as a hasty conclusion, a 4000-word chapter, the outline has been fine-tuned, and the plot of large-scale struggle will be less touched in the future, and it will be closer to Shuangwen!
In addition, answering the comments of book friends here, the setting of the protagonist's family background is indeed questionable, the author believes this! It is mainly caused by inexperience, and I can't change it now.
However, in order to be more reasonable, the author mentioned the embarrassing status of the Chinese family in the United States many times in the first chapter. The protagonist's career is also aimed at building the family's "moat". It is set to provide military protection for the protagonist's family and make the Yang family's status more reasonable. It will not involve the plot of the underworld, don't worry! Please continue to support Xiaopang, if you stay with me, you will never give up! ~\(≧▽≦)/~)
"It's me! You kidnapped my daughter?" Paul Lehman's voice was equally harsh, without the slightest hint of panic.
"Hehehe~ Yes." The kidnapper's laughter made people disgusted, and he was not in a hurry to raise conditions, so he handed over the right to speak to Paul Lehman, and chatted in a daze.
"What are the conditions for letting people go?"
It was hard for others to believe that this was a conversation between the kidnappers and the hostage family from the tone of their speech.
"Hehehe~ Don't worry, just let Ms. Lehman stay with me for two days, I will serve you with delicious food and drink, and I will let you go when I feel better. Now remove all the people you sent. ?” The kidnapper used a voice changer to imitate Donald Duck’s voice, and the laughter before speaking made people shudder.
Paul Lehman gestured to the housekeeper and the technicians who came in with his eyes, and when he saw the other party shaking his head, he couldn't help but asked in disappointment, "I can evacuate, but how can you guarantee the safety of my daughter?"
"Hehehe~ What should I do? It seems that there is no guarantee?" The kidnapper's provocative tone made Paul Lehman tremble with anger.
"I swear, as long as my daughter loses one hair, you will all pay for it."
Paul Lehman's intimidation did not seem to deter the kidnappers, "Hehehe~ let's wait and see, kindly remind you, if your people don't withdraw within half an hour, I will chop off one of your daughter's fingers every 10 minutes."
The kidnapper changed his tone and continued, "Oh, by the way, let the person in charge of tracking my location stop busy, the technology hasn't arrived yet, hehehe~"
This kidnapper was too rampant, provoking grandiosely through the phone, revealing a deep sense of contempt.
Paul Lehman kept holding the phone until the kidnapper hung up the phone and heard a busy signal, then he smashed the phone angrily, his distorted face looked like an angry lion.
"Let someone withdraw it." Paul ordered the housekeeper. He understood that no matter how many people he sent to find his daughter, it would be useless. The daughter has no other use than to cause harm.
At this moment, Paul Lehman suddenly felt that his life could be described as betrayal, what a failure!
The most promising youngest son regards himself as an enemy; the brothers who started a business together are calculating to get back more rights every day; the only caring eldest daughter is abandoned by him like a shoe;
Sitting down on the sofa, he waved to his eldest daughter to let her go, leaving him alone in this empty living room. I don't know how long, half an hour? It may have been an hour, Paul Lehman seemed to have made a decision, asked the housekeeper to send a personal mobile phone, found the number and dialed it.
"Yang, I'm Paul."
There was a sound of footsteps on the phone, and after a few seconds, Yang Sen's voice sounded, "What's the matter?"
"Let my daughter go, I don't care about Louis anymore."
Yang Sen, who was at home in New York, was afraid of waking Liu Yun who was soundly asleep, so he walked out of the bedroom lightly, went to the first floor, and asked the servant on duty for a shawl, "I don't understand what you mean." Just fell asleep Woke up, a little depressed.
"Don't worry, I don't have a recording, you and I know what happened to my daughter,
It was Louis who sent someone to attack Jason. I didn't know about it. As long as you put my daughter back, I will not ask you about any revenge you have on Louis. "When Paul Lehman said this, under the light, the corners of his eyes were sour and red, and a sense of sadness and sorrow enveloped him.
Yang Sen pinched the center of his brows hard to wake himself up, took the phone away and pressed it into the receiver and murmured, "Is this old fox going to abandon his son to protect his daughter?"
He didn't know what kind of psychological struggle Paul Lehman had gone through when he made this phone call, and he didn't even understand Paul Lehman's intention to protect a daughter who was also useless while leaving the heir alone.
Paul Lehman said on the phone again, "Yang, now you must suspect that I have ulterior motives. I just want to say that I am tired. You will receive the news that I am retiring from 3G Capital tomorrow morning. If you want to see me in the future, go there." An island in Panama."
"You want to retire?" Yang Sen raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Yes, I'm 74, and it's time to abdicate." Paul Lehman seemed to have let go of a heavy burden when he said the words of retirement, with an indescribably relaxed tone.
Yang Sen was silent, not knowing how to answer for a while, "Where is Louis?"
"He coveted good times and used you to attack me. I just found out that the people who arranged around him had been bribed long ago, which caused me to miss the news that he did something to Jason. Otherwise, I would never let this matter happen." It happened." After Paul Lehman let go of his worries, he talked more, just like an ordinary old man.
Yang Sen could hear Paul Lehman's sincerity, but his heart was still full of confusion. He said suspiciously, "You should know in your heart that if you and I really fight together, we have no chance of winning. Why not?"
"Why don't you fight to the end? Haha, Yang, don't you understand? You are an outsider to the United States, but to me, you are an American." Paul Lehman laughed and said something like a tongue twister.
But it is not difficult for Yang Sen to understand, the logic is this: First of all, Yang Sen is Chinese, and Yang’s family is Chinese, and in the United States, the Chinese are naturally shorter than the whites, which is almost an irreversible fact;
But for Paul Lehman, even though he is a pure-blooded white man, he does not belong to the United States. In this way, the upper-level forces in the United States must stand behind the Yang family to protect him, whether for the sake of face or to maintain the majesty of the boss. Fight against foreign enemies together. After all, Yang Sen has not had no friends in the past ten or twenty years since his rise from Wall Street.
"Well, since you are going to retire, why don't you sell me the shares of Hershey?" Yang Sen temporarily believed Paul Lehman's words, and took the opportunity to make a request.
"Yes, I have acquired nearly 25% of Hershey's shares successively, most of which came from small shareholders, of which 4% is in the hands of Louis, and there are also a small part in the hands of the two partners of 3G Capital. I don’t care about my family, I can sell all my personal shares to you, about 42 million shares, the current price of Hershey’s is about 88 US dollars per share, I don’t want more, how about 3.5 billion US dollars?”
Yang Sen knew in his heart that the actual value of this share should be around 3.8 billion US dollars. The part that Paul Lehman erased was equivalent to his disguised compensation for Yang Cheng. Well, this compensation is a bit vulgar.
"OK, I hope that after the news of your retirement comes out tomorrow, my daughter can return to you safe and sound." It means that Paul Lehman will release his daughter only after he announces the news of his retirement. The audio was recorded, but it doesn't prove anything? During the entire conversation, Yang Sen did not admit that the kidnapping case was related to him. The two just talked about a deal and finally sent blessings.
The two hung up the phone tacitly in silence, and a seed called "unwillingness" grew in the hearts of Yang Sen and Paul Lehman at the same time, taking root and sprouting.
But both of them also know that there is no better result than the present. For Paul Lehman, he saved his daughter's life and retreated unscathed. His belonging is beyond his control. He is completely disappointed in his children, and he no longer has no attachment in this world.
As far as Yang Sen is concerned, it not only saves a lot of fierce fighting, but also allows the strength of the Yang family to be preserved, and it also has a sense of existence under the noses of various forces in the United States. Pen, what better option than this?
As for whether Yang Cheng's injury is a grievance, it depends on several aspects.
Yang Cheng was hit by a car, and Paul Lehman's daughter was also kidnapped. It is equivalent to being scored by the opponent first in a football match, and the opponent turned around and sent a penalty kick. Although it did not stimulate the adrenaline of the audience like riding a thousand miles alone, the score After equalizing, the two sides returned to the starting line. From this perspective, Yang Cheng should have no grievances.
However, as a bloody man, it is natural to pay with blood for this insult. You hurt me and sent me to the hospital for an operation, so it is not too much for me to give you a leg in return. Thinking about it this way, it seems that the sky-high price of hundreds of millions of dollars So is the compensation.
Regardless of whether Yang Cheng felt wronged or not, in short, when the matter came to Yang Sen, there had to be a resolution. Whether to continue fighting or to go downhill, Yang Sen rationally chose the latter. As the head of the family, he must be responsible for the entire family and cannot The future of the entire family is ruined for a while, and the ass determines the thinking. If only him and Yang Cheng are left in the entire Yang family, then there is no need to talk nonsense, and they must fight the enemy to see the red.
I thought this was the end of the matter, but I never expected that in the years to come, the two big families headed by Yang Cheng and Louis Lehman, not only did not settle down, but because of the intensified conflict of interests, the two families in shopping malls, Fierce confrontation in the political arena and other fields, vowing to die endlessly!
———————————————
On the last weekend of July, Yang Cheng was discharged from the hospital as early as a week ago and went home to recuperate. Under the meticulous care of her mother, Yang Cheng became a daughter-in-law without going out of the house and staying at home. After being bent for a week, I didn't eat breakfast all day today, so I talked to my mother in exchange for this difficult time of exercising.
"Phew~ the air outside is still fresh." When the warm wind produces wheat air on a sunny day, and the green grass is full of flowers, New York in this season is always a good weather with clear sky and warm sun, and New York is also welcoming this season. The tourist season has come.
Yang Cheng walked on the ten-kilometer-long Central Park Avenue, and saw many tourists enjoying the park with laughter and joy, especially when he saw a group of people with the same skin color as him, who spoke various dialects, but they were all Chinese. I feel very kind.
It's just that Hansen, Andrew and the two bodyguards sent by Yang Sen surrounded him. Everyone had an expression on their faces that no one should enter. Yang Cheng had no chance to tease his sister. After the car accident, Hansen He and Andrew never dared to relax their vigilance, and almost treated Yang Cheng as the president, staying around for 24 hours, which made Yang Cheng almost collapsed and changed his sexual orientation.
"Hansen, you just came back from Rio, why don't you take a two-day vacation?" Yang Cheng found a shade of a tree, stepped on the soft green lawn, and started the exercises taught by Hansen, his mouth was not idle Chatted.
Although his father agreed to Paul Lehman's conditions for him, he did not object, but after undergoing a change of mind, his mind also became smaller. Louis Lehman could not move for the time being, and the driver who hit him at that time did not So lucky, taking advantage of the opportunity that he couldn't go out at home, he sent Hansen to Brazil. After staying for less than half a day, another unlucky guy died in Rio due to brake failure and crashed into a big tree. !
"I took the first class round trip, slept very comfortably, and was not tired at all boss." Hansen stood about one meter beside Yang Cheng, pointed out Yang Cheng's movements, and watched the movement in front of him gratefully.
"Well, you and Andrew and I haven't rested for such a long time, and I don't have to go out recently. It just so happens that the two of you arranged a rotation and went back to see your family." Yang Cheng is now very familiar with the little tricks to win people's hearts.
"Thank you boss." Hansen and Andrew thanked each other in unison, while the two new bodyguards looked at each other enviously, newcomers have no human rights.
"You're welcome. I'll go back and change in a while. I'll arrange a car to wait for me downstairs and go to Flushing." Yang Cheng finished a set of movements and exhaled foul air.
After such an activity, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he took a small sip of the mineral water passed by Andrew. The curious eyes of tourists passing by from time to time made Yang Cheng a little puzzled, and what was even more strange was that there were A lot of exercising locals also showed their searching eyes.
"Hansen, is there something dirty on my face?" Yang Cheng wiped his face in doubt, but he didn't see any attachments on his hands.
"No boss, very clean." Hansen looked at it carefully for a second, then shook his head.
"That's weird. What are these people looking at me for? Have you ever seen a bodyguard?" Yang Cheng thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He only thought that he brought the bodyguards with him to make a big show and attracted people's attention.
He didn't like being watched like an animal, so he drank up the water in disappointment, threw the water bottle into the trash can not far away, and muttered sullenly, "I hate it, go back."
Flushing is an area located in Queens, New York, because there are a large number of Asian immigrants gathered here, mainly people from country Z and Bangzi. Of course, there are also many new immigrants from Vietnam, country Z and Taiwan, so Farah Sheng gradually formed a business district with strong East Asian flavor.
Yang Cheng made a special trip to Flushing today to choose some gifts. He will go to Hawaii to visit Grandpa Situ in a few days, and it coincides with Situ Yanran's birthday. I haven't seen her for a long time. She is a younger sister who has played since she was a child. suitable.
Most of the new immigrants who have just arrived in New York from country Z will choose to live in Flushing. Apart from the relatively low rent and convenient living, the most important reason is that there is no need to use English here, and they can even speak Cantonese or Hokkien. It is more practical than English. If you have no ambitions, you can live a lifetime here just like in China.
After the dark green Audi S8 passed the taxi, it stopped in front of an antique shop. The shop had no name, let alone a signboard. Even the door was hidden behind a billboard. Cheng has been here before, so it may be difficult to find this entrance.
