Chapter 547: Poster
Gao Liang has been famous for his handsomeness since he was a child, and has always been the focus of female classmates in school.
However, because of his low-key behavior, basically no one knew what his family did.
And at that time, Eric was still a prodigal son who almost didn't go home. For six years in middle school, he didn't attend Gao Liang's parent-teacher meeting, and all hired people to pretend to be Gao Liang's uncle to attend.
Fortunately, Gao Liang 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 not sloppy at all in life. He was always picked up by luxury cars, and changed to a different one every few days, so the whole school knew that Gao Liang's family was not generally rich.
This kind of little boy who is both handsome and rich is definitely a top-grade golden turtle son-in-law that can't be found even with a lantern, and is deeply loved by female classmates.
Similarly, he is also very liked by kidnappers.
When Gao Liang was fourteen, on the way home from school, he was hijacked by three kidnappers along with the car.
The bodyguard driving the car was seriously injured and fainted on the spot, the car was also driven to the suburbs and abandoned, and Gao Liang was taken to the kidnappers' base—an abandoned car repair shop.
After taking off the hood, Gao Liang recognized that these three kidnappers were the famous "Sunday", and the three names were Mike, Trevor, and Franklin.
This group had kidnapped American billionaires many times and extorted more than 10 million US dollars in ransom.
And because their anti-reconnaissance ability was extremely strong, they had never been caught by the police.
This time, the three fierce kidnappers of the "Sunday" group set their sights on Gao Liang, and got it without much effort.
Next, according to the normal script, the kidnappers would ask about the information and contact information of Gao Liang's family, and then start extortion.
Gao Liang was young, but he performed quite calmly, just saying: "My father is Eric Albert, and my grandfather is Charles Albert."
The two names were reported, and the three kidnappers withered on the spot.
The great name of Charles Albert, even if they were in the United States, was not unfamiliar, but after all, he was British, and no matter how strong the dragon was, it couldn't suppress these three local snakes.
But Eric was different. This person could be said to be well-connected, with friends all over America, and was a ruthless character who ate both black and white.
In the past, kidnappers had ideas about him, wanting to extort the Albert Group, and the end was called a miserable one. Even these desperate people who hung their heads on their pants and lived their lives couldn't help but be frightened.
Since then, there has been one more "Eric Albert" on the 'No-Move List' in the kidnapper circle.
The so-called 'No-Move List' belongs to the industry rules of American kidnappers. It is to list some ruthless characters who can't be provoked into the list, and then warn all peers not to move these people on the list.
Those who can enter this list basically have big figures who eat both black and white. Although these desperate people are not afraid of death, doing this is ultimately to make money and live a happy life.
But if you move these people on the list, it is a typical case of having a life to take money but no life to spend it. It's not worth it.
And Eric Albert's name belongs to the relatively high-ranking one on the 'No-Move List'. Ordinary kidnappers avoid him when they see him. Who dares to be bold enough to kidnap his son?
However, the "Sunday" group didn't know it, and after hearing Gao Liang report his father's name, although they were indeed frightened, they soon thought about whether this was a trick used by Gao Liang, deliberately saying so to make them afraid.
As a result, Gao Liang, who was as smart as he was, soon saw through the minds of these people and directly let them make a video call to his old man.
After the call was connected, the three kidnappers almost fell to the ground, because the person on the other side of the video was the genuine Eric himself.
Seeing his son kidnapped, Eric didn't panic, just saying: "You can mention the price, I have only one requirement, don't hurt my son."
As a father, Eric was still very rational, even though he was a person on the 'No-Move List', ordinary kidnappers would go around him when they saw him.
But he couldn't hear a bit of arrogance in his words, because his son was in the hands of these people. At this time, stimulating the kidnappers was the most stupid behavior. Compromising first was the only way.
However, compromise is compromise, the kidnappers definitely didn't have the courage to quote a price, and immediately expressed that this was a misunderstanding, and promised to send Young Master Gao Liang home safely.
Consequently, after being kidnapped by the notorious "Sunday", Gao Liang was sent home after only half an hour, and also took a sum of money to let Gao Liang pass it to the security guard who was beaten and injured.
At this time, the New York police were searching for the traces of these three robbers all over the city, and never dreamed that these three risked huge risks to enter the city and sent the victim home directly.
After this matter ended, Eric added more people to escort his son to and from school, directly three cars, twelve armed bodyguards.
And Gao Liang also became a legendary figure in school.
Although the three robbers of "Sunday" were all shot and killed by the police in a bank robbery two years later, the story that happened between them and Gao Liang is still circulating in American society today.
There is no other reason, it is just too dramatic, and Eric, who didn't appear in the story at all, played a vital role, and his fame also rose with the story.
Since then, Gao Liang basically has no one who dares to provoke him in New York.
"Now, do you know how powerful your father is?" Seifert said a lot, his mouth was dry, and he hurriedly took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator and gulped it down.
And Luo Quan felt that Seifert said a lot, but it seemed that he didn't explain clearly what his father had done to be so prestigious.
But it doesn't matter, just know that her father is very powerful.
"So, don't worry about what kind of loss I will suffer at the banquet." Gao Liang smiled and asked again: "By the way, sister, I heard that your company has big moves recently, are you preparing to do business seriously?"
Luo Quan corrected: "It has always been serious, okay? It's just that I didn't need so many people before."
"Do you lack investment?" Seifert's eyes were full of light, "I am quite at ease with your ability. If you invite me to buy shares, I will definitely not refuse!"
Fortunately, this is English, otherwise it would sound a bit strange.
"I have too much money to spend now." Luo Quan said triumphantly. With so many albums and movies, she had long been full of money. With so much money, it was enough for her to squander until her next life.
However, if it is smashed into the company to do business, the situation is different.
At Luo Quan's level, doing anything is definitely wanting to reach the top level.
However, business is different from singing. There are too many factors to consider and too much knowledge to use. It is not that you can build the company by exchanging a character card or smashing money desperately.
"Springwater Entertainment is still in the starting stage, and the company's market value is not very big. If you want to invest, just take one million US dollars, and I will give you one percent of the shares each."
Luo Quan roughly calculated the company's equipment and the money invested so far, and the valuation was almost 100 million US dollars.
"Let's talk about this later. If your company wants to grow big, maybe participating in the banquet with us this time is a good choice." Gao Liang also took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, took a small sip, and then burped without any image.
"Why?" Luo Quan didn't understand.
Seifert explained: "I just said that these are all real business elites at this banquet, and they will all take over their fathers' work in the future."
"And the fathers of these people are giants in various industries in the United States, including theaters, media, computer software development, internet, and other businesses 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 get to know these people in advance."
"Of course, if your work focus is only in East Asia, then it doesn't matter."
"By the way, you asked me to find a hotel with retro decoration before, I found the young master of the Hilton chain hotel to help, and things were done very easily."
"He will also attend the scene this time."
What the words mean to this point is already very obvious.
Chinese people are a society of human feelings, paying attention to reciprocity.
This criterion is actually no big problem when placed in the West. Everyone definitely hopes to have a friendly business relationship where you help me and I help you.
If Luo Quan wants to make the company bigger, it won't work to bury her head and only make products. After all, she is the boss, not just a creator.
Don't look at the fact that college students despise socializing as soon as they mention it, but when they enter society, they will know that this kind of thing can never be avoided, unless you want to be a programmer for a lifetime.
"Then go and see. By the way, attending the wine party, don't need to dress too formally, right?" Luo Quan asked.
Seifert smiled: "It's not walking the red carpet. You can restrain your beauty. This is a private wine party. You can dress more casually. Gao Liang and I are not ready to change clothes, just go directly."
"Also, there are many female relatives at the wine party. If you overwhelm the crowd, it will... maybe some... uh, that."
"Understood." Luo Quan made an OK gesture and went upstairs to change clothes.
When she came down, she was already wearing long sleeves and long pants, and even wearing a dark baseball cap on her head.
"Is it low-key enough?" Luo Quan stretched out her hands and turned around.
"Okay, let's go." Seifert had already walked out of the door, got in the car and prepared to set off.
The three took a car to the largest Hilton hotel in New York. Amidst the bright smile of the waiter, the three went to the seventh floor and entered a quite spacious room.
The wine party had already started. Luo Quan glanced at it, estimated that there were about forty or fifty people, and a few people were chatting in a circle.
These people were dressed very normally, and their ages looked like twenty-seven or twenty-eight, much older than her and Gao Liang.
Although the vast majority of people had ordinary beauty, the confidence and ease on everyone were almost overflowing.
"Let me guess, this must be the sister and brother with the highest beauty in the world." A bearded man walked over, looking like he was already thirty.
"Introduce, this is the son of the chairman of Johnson & Johnson." Seifert said to Luo Quan.
"Just call me Paul." The man reached out to Gao Liang, the two shook hands, and then nodded to Luo Quan to greet her, obviously not wanting to take advantage of her.
Before, Luo Quan had expressed more than once her willingness not to shoot kiss scenes when shooting movies. Foreign fans knew her taboos, but they all knew that, not knowing why.
Paul knew quite a lot about Chinese culture, knowing that Chinese girls' thinking is generally relatively conservative, and they are quite cautious about "skin-to-skin contact" with the opposite sex, so he didn't directly go up.
However, Luo Quan was not as conservative as Paul imagined. Normal shaking hands was no problem at all. The greeting method she didn't like was just the cheek-kissing ceremony.
But Paul thinking for her so much made her have a good first impression of him.
"Speaking of which, you two are still peers." Seifert opened the topic for everyone again.
"Are you also a singer?" Luo Quan was curious.
"My singing is very bad?" Paul laughed, "In fact, I am a director, but mainly shooting documentaries, biographies, etc."
"I know this." Gao Liang often browses YouTube and is no stranger to Paul, a big YouTube host, "The documentaries Paul shoots are all focused on these rich second generations in the United States, letting the outside world understand the real life of these rich people."
"The content is not just showing off wealth, but more about what kind of reaction these rich second generations have after knowing they are rich second generations, and their life trajectory afterwards."
Paul showed a smile: "It seems that the big star is also very interested in what I shoot."
Being able to get recognition for one's work and being known by so many people is the fun and motivation of the creator.
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 confirming it at home, he found that his life had lost its direction instantly.
Before, he thought that only learning could climb to a higher place.
And now, he knew that he had already reached the finish line at birth.
Life suddenly lost its goal of struggle, and Paul experienced a long period of confusion.
Later, his father told him to do what he liked to do and don't think about so many things.
So, Paul picked up the camera and chose to become a director, aiming the lens at rich second generations like him, recording what their lives were like, and then making it public, letting all ordinary people see the real side of rich second generations.
Because the documentaries he shot had never been shot before, the public was also quite interested, so he soon attracted a large group of fans, and it has accumulated to nearly four million now.
"Of course, it's still incomparable with Miss Luo Quan. You are now an internationally famous big star, big director." After Paul finished being humble, he said a few flattering words to Luo Quan.
