Chapter 481: Fishing and falling into the water

~16 min read 3,161 words

At ten o'clock in the morning, the Chairman of the Board of the Liji Group, wearing not thick but very warm cotton clothes, drove out of the house.

Today is the day the court opens, but he is not very worried about this. After all, for the group company, the worst situation is to compensate four million.

He knows that recently someone has been shorting the group company's stock. He has discussed this problem with the Board of Directors and shareholders, and everyone thinks these people will not become the company's trouble.

The reason is very simple: this is not the first time the Liji Group has done this; they have done it many times before.

Although the stock price will indeed slide because of their problems in commercial ethics, it will immediately pull up after the annual report comes out.

The capital market ultimately speaks with the company's profitability, not moral problems.

If the success or failure of an enterprise is only judged by whether it has commercial ethics, then the whole Federation is poor! This is just a small accident. As long as the lawsuit can be dragged on, the stock will not only not fall, but may even rise.

Because they expressed the core they wanted to express through actual actions to shareholders and investors—even if it is just a penny, don't even think about taking it from their pockets! So he doesn't care about this matter at all. Yesterday, he and an old friend agreed to go fishing in the suburbs together today.

"These days, the media is full of your company's affairs. Why is the impact so big this time?"

He wanted to escape in a panic, and the other hand also used it to pry Lanse's fingers, but no matter how he pried, he couldn't pry them open!

Because when he bent over, the other party walked over, just like he was bowing and saluting the other party. He had no good expression on his face, just looking at this young man who disturbed him.

His two friends turned and left the ice, standing further away.

"I won't go to trouble you; it's all our fault!"

At this time, the water surface has begun to freeze. To fish, you must first drill a hole in the ice.

Winter fishing is actually very interesting, especially the fish at the bottom of the water in winter are particularly fat, which makes it easier for fishing enthusiasts to break their past records.

After the three changed into cold-proof clothes for fishing, they came to the ice with a smile. They used a special machine for drilling holes to drill several holes in the ice, and finally knocked them together into a piece.

He let out a miserable scream of pain. His knee, which had been worn out for a lifetime, was also reaching its limit. With such a knock, there was obviously a problem.

Neither of their hands let go. Lanse continued, "I am from Jingang. This might make you think of something?"

They jokingly said that if someone lost a dollar on the streets of Detlan, it would still be there after twenty-four hours!

The Chairman of the Board, who was putting bait on the fish, was stunned for a moment. He turned to look at those young people. He didn't recognize any of them. "I don't know you."

Only when you are strong will you not care about other people's thoughts, nor will you consider whether you have offended others.

He likes fishing.

The red hat stood up, holding a landing net and standing by the water. Not long after, a big guy floated up.

Lanse walked down from the car wearing thick clothes. The two old men glanced at them and took back their gaze.

He said, bending down again to deal with the fish, a pair of legs walked in front of him.

The Chairman of the Board just glanced at it and refocused his energy on wrestling with the prey under the water.

The Chairman of the Board swallowed a mouthful of saliva. "It's just a matter of four million. Is it worth it?"

"We suspect this is the result of them setting us up, so we have been appealing. We are lucky; the Supreme Court accepted this appeal."

Either long or heavy.

Because no one will bend down to pick it up, just the process of bending down to pick it up might make people lose many times more income than it!

"Fuck!"

They use the best bait and fish in the river section with the most fish in winter, which in itself is a cheating behavior.

After fishing, they can change into a set of clothes here, then deal with the fish caught, and drink some wine and eat something good.

At noon, the three ate something in the house by the river and then took a nap.

He added some tone. "For us, we don't make money through the financial market. What can make us profitable are those real industries, and as long as our profit targets are met this year, the environment they created cannot affect the warming and rising of the stock price at all."

The Chairman of the Board pinched the bait and put the fishhook into the hole pool. "Some people are shorting the group company's stock. It is very likely that they did it, just wanting to make a fortune with the help of this kind of thing."

Subsequently, it was thrown on the ice. Everyone, including Lanse, couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts: it's fucking big! The smile on the Chairman of the Board's face could no longer be hidden, and he couldn't help laughing out loud. Only those who love fishing know how happy he is now! "I want to make it into a specimen and put it in my villa!", he said while walking toward the fish, and took out a tape measure from his pocket; he had to measure it.

There is coffee ground in advance on the fire basin, which has been bubbling inside.

The expression on his face could no longer be controlled, becoming panicked.

He really couldn't figure out why they would be like this!

They just believe that everyone is picking up money in Detlan, picking up money from the financial capital market, but ignoring the essence of the financial game.

Perhaps it was the effect of these people watching, he became more and more excited, both mentally and physically, reaching the peak he could reach at this stage.

The Chairman of the Board shook his head, his expression very calm. "No, it's from those stupid investors!"

"My name is Lanse, Lanse White."

Although sometimes they fail, on the whole, there are more people making money, because people won't pay attention to those who don't make money.

Some people say that Detlan is the place with the strongest financial atmosphere in the Federation and even the world. The streets are full of financial practitioners who calculate their income in seconds.

"Let go of me!"

Another friend wearing a fur hat asked again, "Is that four million true?"

But since the other party came, and he was not very comfortable, he could only express it slightly.

But soon he turned back, because he saw two old friends standing by without moving, smoking, and looking at him with eyes completely different from when they were fishing just now.

Just at this moment, suddenly the float on the water surface sank sharply, and he pulled the rod along the trend.

Lanse looked into his eyes without any sign of being moved by him. He knew he was already old, and he also knew that he might only have ten years left in the future.

After more than ten minutes of wrestling, the turbulent current constantly surging under the hole pool finally disappeared a lot. The Chairman of the Board, slightly panting, began to retract the rod quickly and said, "Prepare the landing net; I feel like I'm going to break the record!"

The whole riverside is frozen. At this time, "falling" into the water, even if alive, will eventually only be suffocated! After doing this, they quickly returned to the shore. Lanse shook hands with the two old men. "Next, it depends on you. Remember to make yourself look embarrassed."

"Sure enough, the record was broken!", his face was full of excitement and pride, but soon he also felt some discomfort.

"Egg!"

Lanse smiled and shook hands with them separately. "Then let's go first."

When he asked these questions, his heart was actually beating violently, because he knew that since the other party came, he must have made full preparations.

The Chairman of the Board was even more confused. "I don't know where I heard your name. Sorry, what do you do?"

The Chairman of the Board's struggle intensity is decreasing, and even a little giving up.

Because of the long-term exertion just now, he is now exhausted, and his whole body is covered in sweat, sticky and very uncomfortable. He glanced at the sky and then said, "Let's stop here today, and it looks like you have other things to do."

They stood around the Chairman of the Board, seemingly watching him fight with the water splashes in the water.

"Kill me?"

Just at the moment the fishing line tightened, he felt that this fucking was a big fish! He was fully focused under the water, constantly wrestling with the prey in the water.

After all, he was old. When he took a nap until about 3:30, they got up and continued fishing.

He likes to play games with the fish under the calm water surface while looking at the calm water surface. When he finally pulled up the fishing rod and watched the fish shaking its body in the air without strength, that kind of satisfaction was more satisfying than sleeping with a female star! He loves the sport of fishing far more than others.

He thought these people were looking for his two friends, but the red hat said, "They are looking for you."

The older a person is, the more they like to play games.

Once they find prey, they will create contradictions and conflicts, and use the power of media public opinion to make a fortune.

In order to obtain more benefits, some people here specialize in using legal loopholes to profit. These people are Detlan hyenas.

"Please, I'm just here to enjoy the fishing time!", the Chairman of the Board complained, but explained it.

Seeing the sky gradually turning dark, the fishing for the day was almost over.

In the afternoon, the Chairman of the Board was lucky and caught several big fish in a row. Although he didn't break his record, it also made him feel excited!

The fish under the water obviously began to increase, and they also began to lift the rod frequently.

Lanse shook his head. "Who it is is actually no longer important. Anyway, you will never know."

The young man reached out his hand. The Chairman of the Board was slightly stunned. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

A total of three people came, and the other two were his old friends, who had also made appointments to fish together before.

Another accompanying red hat revealed a slightly gloating expression. When he spoke, he would also spray white mist, blocking some of his face. "It sounds terrible. Being targeted by these hyenas, they will definitely bite a piece of meat off you."

"Okay, don't discuss these things that affect our mood. Let's fish to our heart's content!"

This is a very interesting process, and also a process of game.

Detlan is a famous financial street in New Jincheng. On both sides of the road and even in the surrounding area, more than 70% of the financial companies in the Federation are gathered.

"We are very confident in this regard!"

The red hat hurriedly scooped up the fish. The landing net, which was not small, couldn't even hold it!

But the more it is this time, the more he is afraid of death.

Anyone, without his own consent, being introduced to so many strangers, must be uncomfortable, and it is still in such a relatively private occasion.

He was a little unsure. Lanse smiled and said, "We haven't met. This is our first meeting."

Two cars came from afar, stopped by their car, and some people got out of the car.

After all, the class is different. You can't expect the President to have heard of an ordinary person's name. Those who can make the President "familiar" must be characters of his class, or slightly worse, but the gap will not be so obvious.

The Chairman of the Board's eyes had two or three seconds of confusion, and then immediately appeared an expression of disbelief. He turned to look at his two good friends, wanting to shake off his hand, but his hand was tightly grasped by Lanse!

He couldn't break free, and the movement also accelerated the consumption of oxygen. His desire for "breathing" became stronger and stronger! Even though he knew he couldn't breathe at this moment, he couldn't help it in the end!

He looked at Lanse, forcing himself to calm down. "What do you plan to do?"

Although this is a public area, their entertainment now is very personalized. They didn't invite others, so he felt that he shouldn't do these social interactions in such a private occasion and private time.

So someone made an appointment with him, and he came out immediately.

They even have a house by the river, which was built specifically for fishing.

Out of politeness, he reached out and shook hands with Lanse. "Have we met?"

"Who gave you the guts?"

So the happiness of the rich, many people cannot feel. Just for the convenience of fishing, they spent more than 100,000 before and after to build this house.

As long as it is someone he has heard of, then this young man must not be the kind of person who has no fame.

Among them, the red hat old man said softly after letting go of his hand, "Bring our greetings to Mr. Senator!"

No matter how slow his reaction was, he realized that the problem was not right! He looked at these two old friends in disbelief. They had known each other for more than forty years, and there was no contradiction, and the relationship had always been good.

They won't leave until five o'clock, so that the morning and afternoon together are at least four hours, which can let them have enough fun.

He is letting Lanse introduce himself. Lanse still has that simple and clean smile, which made the Chairman of the Board feel some good feelings.

He drove his beloved pickup truck, carrying his fishing gear worth thousands of dollars, and came to a river on the edge of the city.

His speech was very fast. "I can give you four million... no, six million, together with your losses last time, and this matter ends here!"

Lanse let go of his hand, and because someone kicked his leg bend, he knelt directly on the ice!

"Detlan's hyenas are everywhere, not strange!"

Lanse nodded. "I will!"

There is a voice in his heart telling him that he must catch this fish; it will become his honor!

Lanse nodded slightly, and Hiram directly pressed his head under the cold water surface! In an instant, the bone-chilling ice water made him struggle violently, but he was not the opponent of two young and strong young men at all! Because of panic, he had inhaled a large amount of cold water many times. These cold waters stimulated his blood vessels to contract, making his suffocation feeling become more intense!

Then his gaze looked at the red hat, somewhat complaining.

"Quick!", he shouted.

If the relationship was not good, they wouldn't often come out to fish.

Because he has too many things, these things make him unable to abandon everything he has and leave this world.

A large number of foundations are also here, forming a special financial industry atmosphere.

Lanse shook his head. "Who it is is actually no longer important. Anyway, you will never know."

"Call the police, call the police quickly!"

People who love to laugh are never that annoying, unless the smile on this person's face is too fucking hypocritical, and it's the kind that can be seen through.

The two old men shook their heads repeatedly. "No, Mr. Lanse, we'll do it ourselves!"

He was fully focused, without any relaxation. He had a strong feeling and confidence that this would be the biggest fish he had ever encountered in his life!

These two people have no difference in social level from him. Prestige, influence, are all about the same.

This is actually a very exaggerated statement, but people in the Federation and even outside the Federation believe these things.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze moving along those legs to the young man's face. This is very impolite.

He looked back at his two old friends beside him. "Go call someone!"

Lanse's hand was like a pair of pliers, making his wrist ache.

This is a kind of fun.

"I can also apologize to you publicly. I will let them withdraw the lawsuit. This is our problem!"

Every time the rod is retracted, it is an expectation full of surprises. Maybe they can get a super big fish that breaks their career record!

Watching him twitch violently a few times and then have no reaction, Lanse didn't let them let him go, but waited for a while, confirmed that he was completely "gone," and then let the two push him into the hole pool.

"My whole body is covered in sweat. Let's go to the house. It's very warm there, and there are drinks, and I can also change into a set of clothes."

This is an irregular hole with a diameter of about three to four meters. After the water surged up, it dropped slightly. The three placed customized comfortable chairs, and also placed a fire basin and several wind shields, and began to fish.

There are also some food and fruits by the fire basin. The skin gradually shrinks, and after a while, it will become very hot and delicious.

"Do you need my help?"

"Let's talk about anything later."

Subsequently, they got into the car and left quickly.

The two old men were silent for a while, and then began to wet themselves with river water. They glanced at the long fish, put it back on the fishhook, and threw it into the river together with the fishing rod.

Half an hour later, two police cars and two rescue vehicles arrived at the scene...
