Chapter 547 Poster
Leon has been famous for his handsomeness since he was a child, and he has always been the focus of female classmates in school.
However, because he keeps a low profile, few people know what his family does.
At that time, Eric was still a prodigal son who was almost homeless. He had never attended Lyon's parent-teacher conferences in his sixth year of middle school. He always hired people to pretend to be Lyon's uncle.
Fortunately, Leon had excellent grades and didn't cause trouble in school, so the teacher didn't discover this secret until graduation.
Although Eric himself didn't care much about his son's studies, he was unambiguous in his life. He always picked up and dropped off in luxury cars, and he would change to a different one every few days, so the whole school knew that Leon's family was not ordinary. of money.
This kind of handsome and rich little boy is definitely the best son-in-law that you can't find even if you use a lantern, and he is deeply loved by female classmates.
Likewise, he is also very popular with kidnappers.
When Leon was fourteen years old, on his way home from school, he and his car were hijacked by three kidnappers.
The bodyguard who was driving was severely injured and passed out on the spot. The car was driven to the outskirts and abandoned. Leon was taken to the kidnapper's base - an abandoned car repair shop.
After taking off the hood, Leon recognized the three kidnappers as the famous "Sunday". Their names were Mike, Trevor, and Franklin.
This gang has kidnapped wealthy Americans many times and extorted more than ten million dollars in ransom.
And because of his strong anti-investigation capabilities, he has never been caught by the police.
This time, the three gangsters from the "Sunday" gang set their sights on Lyon and succeeded without much effort.
Next, according to the normal script, the kidnappers will ask for the information and contact information of Lyon's family, and then start blackmailing.
Although Leon was young, he acted quite calmly and just said: "My father is Eric Albert, and my grandfather is Charles Albert."
When the two names were announced, the three kidnappers withered on the spot.
The name Charles Albert is not unfamiliar to them even in the United States, but they are British after all, and no matter how powerful the dragon is, they cannot suppress these three local snakes.
But Eric is different. This man can be said to be well-connected and has friends all over the United States. He is a ruthless character who takes both black and white.
In the past, kidnappers had set their sights on him and wanted to use this to blackmail the Albert Group. The end was so miserable that even desperadoes like them, who lived with their heads in their belts, couldn't help but feel frightened when they saw it.
Since then, "Eric Albert" has been on the list of kidnappers.
The so-called untouchable list belongs to the industry rules of American kidnappers, which is to include the family members of some ruthless characters who cannot be offended, and then warn all colleagues not to touch these people on the list.
Those who can make this list are basically big shots with black and white backgrounds. Although they are a group of desperadoes who are not afraid of death, they still do it to make money and live a happy life.
But if you touch the people on the list, they are typical people who have a life to take money but not a life to spend, and they can't do anything wrong.
Eric Albert's name is relatively high on the immovable list. Most kidnappers would have no time to hide when they see him. Who would be bold enough to kidnap his son?
However, the "Sunday" gang didn't know this, and after hearing Leon announce his father's name, although they were indeed frightened, they soon wondered if this was a trick of Leon's envoy, saying this deliberately to make them Fear.
As a result, he was as smart as Leon, and he quickly saw through the minds of these people, and directly asked them to make a video call to his father.
After the call was connected, the three kidnappers almost fell to the ground because the real Eric himself was on the other end of the video.
Eric didn't panic when he saw his son being kidnapped. He just said, "You can raise the price as you like. I only have one request. Don't hurt my son."
As a father, Eric is still very rational. Even if he is a figure on the Immovable List, kidnappers usually avoid him when they see him.
But there was no hint of arrogance in his words, because his son was in the hands of these people, and irritating the kidnappers at this time was the stupidest thing to do. Compromising first was the only way.
However, a compromise is a compromise. The kidnappers definitely didn't have the guts to ask for a price. They immediately stated that it was a misunderstanding and promised to send Master Lyon home safely.
Therefore, after being kidnapped by the infamous "Sunday", Leon was sent home only half an hour later, and a sum of money was given to Leon to hand over to the injured security guard.
At this time, the New York police were searching for traces of these three robbers everywhere outside the city. They never dreamed that these three people took huge risks to enter the city and sent the victim directly back home.
After this incident was over, Eric added more people to send his son to and from school, including three cars and twelve armed bodyguards.
And Leon also became a legend in school.
Although the three robbers on "Sunday" were all shot dead by the police during a bank robbery two years later, the story between them and Leon is still circulating in American society.
There is no other reason than that it is too dramatic, and Eric, who did not appear at all in the story, played a crucial role, and his reputation increased with this story.
From then on, basically no one in New York dared to mess with Lyon.
"Now, do you know how powerful your dad is? Seifert talked a lot and his mouth was dry. He quickly took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and took a big gulp.
Luo Quan felt that Seifert said a lot, but seemed to say nothing.
What exactly my father has done that is so prestigious is still not explained clearly.
But it doesn't matter, as long as she knows that her dad is great.
"So, there is no need to worry about what I will suffer at the banquet." Leon smiled and asked: "By the way, sister, I heard that your company has made big moves recently. Are you ready to start your career seriously? ?”
Luo Quan corrected: "It's always been serious, okay, but we didn't need so many people before."
"Is there a lack of investment?" Seifert's eyes were full of light. "I am quite confident in your ability. If you invite me to become a shareholder, I will definitely not refuse!"
Luckily it's in English, otherwise it would sound a little weird.
"I have so much money now that I have no place to spend it." Luo Quan said proudly. She has already made a lot of money from so many albums and movies. This much money is enough for her to squander it until the next life.
But if you are doing business in a company, the situation is different.
At Luo Quan's level, he definitely wants to be at the top level in everything he does.
However, business is different from singing. There are too many factors that need to be considered and knowledge that needs to be used. You can't start a company by exchanging a certain character card or throwing money at it.
"Quanshui Entertainment is still in its infancy, and the company's market value is not that big. If you want to invest, just take one million U.S. dollars, and I will give each of you one percent of the shares."
Luo Quan roughly calculated the company's equipment and the current investment, and the valuation was approximately US$100 million.
"We'll talk about this later. If your company wants to grow bigger, maybe going to the banquet with us this time is a good choice." Leon also took out a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, took a sip, and then said very shamelessly Hiccups.
"Why?" Luo Quan was puzzled.
Seifert explained: "As I said just now, this banquet is full of real business elites, and they will all take over the work of their fathers in the future.
The fathers of these people are giants in their respective industries in the United States, including operating theaters, media, computer software development, the Internet, and other businesses that are closely related to your company.
If you want to develop more smoothly in the United States in the future, it is definitely not a bad thing to make friends with these people in advance.
Of course, it doesn't matter if your focus is only on East Asia.
By the way, you asked me to find a hotel with retro decoration. I found the young owner of the Hilton hotel chain to help, and the matter was settled easily.
He will also be present this time. "
When it comes to this, it is already obvious what it means.
Chinese people are a humane society and pay attention to courtesy and reciprocity.
In fact, this principle is not a big problem in the West. They definitely hope to have a friendly business relationship like you help me and I help you.
If Luo Quan wants to make the company bigger, it will definitely not work to just make products. After all, she is the boss, not just a creator.
Even though today's college students despise social entertainment when it comes to it, once you get out of society you will know that this kind of thing is absolutely unavoidable, unless you have been a lifelong programmer.
"Then let's go and have a look. Speaking of which, you don't need to dress more formally to attend the reception, right?" Luo Quan asked.
Seifert smiled: "It's not a red carpet, you can restrain your beauty. This is a private reception, you can dress casually. Leon and I are not going to change clothes, just go directly.
Also, there are a lot of female relatives at the cocktail party. If you stand out among the others, you might be a bit... well, that's it. "
"I understand." Luo Quan made an OK gesture and went upstairs to change his clothes.
When he came down, he was already wearing long sleeves and long trousers, and he was wearing a dark peaked cap on his head.
"Aren't you low-key enough?" Luo Quan stretched out his hand and turned it around.
"Okay, let's go." Seifert had already walked out of the car and got into the car ready to set off.
The three of them took a car to the Hilton Hotel, the largest hotel in New York. Under the reception of the waiter with a bright smile, the three of them went up to the seventh floor and entered a rather spacious room.
The reception had already begun. Luo Quan glanced at it and estimated that there were about forty or fifty people, several of whom were chatting in a circle.
These people were all dressed in ordinary clothes, and they all seemed to be around 27 or 28 years old, much older than her and Leon.
Although most people have ordinary looks, the confidence and ease in everyone almost overflows.
"Let me guess, these must be the two most handsome siblings in the world." A man with an unshaven beard walked towards them. He looked to be in his thirties.
"Let me introduce, this is the son of the chairman of Johnson & Johnson Group." Seifert said to Luo Quan.
"Just call me Paul." The man stretched out his hand to Leon, the two shook hands, and then nodded to Luo Quan in greeting, obviously not wanting to take advantage of her.
Luo Quan has expressed her unwillingness to do kissing scenes in movies more than once before. Foreign fans all know her taboo, but they all know it but don't know why.
Paul knew a lot about Chinese culture. He knew that Chinese girls are generally conservative in their thinking and very cautious about "skin-to-skin contact" with the opposite sex, so he didn't start directly.
However, Luo Quan was not as conservative as Paul thought, and there was no problem with shaking hands normally. The greeting she didn't like was just a cheek-to-cheek greeting.
But Paul was so considerate of her that he gave her a good first impression.
"Speaking of which, you two are still traveling together." Seifert started the conversation again.
"Are you also a singer?" Luo Quan was curious.
"Am I bad at singing?" Paul laughed, "Actually, I am a director, but I mainly shoot documentaries and biographies."
"I know that." Leon often browses YouTube and is no stranger to Paul, a big YouTube owner. "The documentaries Paul shoots all focus on the rich second generation in the United States, allowing the outside world to understand the real lives of these rich people.
The content is not only about showing off their wealth, but also about the reaction of these second-generation rich people after knowing that they are second-generation rich people, and their subsequent life trajectories. "
Paul smiled: "It seems that big stars are also interested in what I shoot."
It is the creator's pleasure and motivation to have his work recognized and known by so many people.
To put it more deeply, this is a realization of self-worth.
When Paul was in junior high school, he accidentally saw the news that his father was the chairman of Johnson & Johnson. After going home to inquire and confirm, he found that his life had instantly lost direction.
He used to think that only by studying can he climb to a higher place.
But now, he knew that he had already reached the end as soon as he was born.
Life suddenly lost its goal, and Paul experienced confusion for a long time.
Later, his father told him to do what he likes to do and not to think about so many things.
So, Paul picked up the camera and chose to become a director, focusing the camera on the rich second generation like him, recording what their lives were like, and then making it public so that all ordinary people can see the rich second generation. The real side.
Because the documentary he shot had never been shot before, and the public was very interested in it, he quickly attracted a large number of fans, which has now reached almost four million.
"Of course, there is no comparison with Miss Luo Quan. You are now an internationally renowned star and director." After Paul finished being modest, he said a few flattering words to Luo Quan.
At this time, more and more people gathered.
