Chapter 139 It is better to stay than not to stay
Kill Li Wenyuan and make a fortune.¥f,
He took out three million to exchange for Piast to Qian Xinlin to accept and resettle compatriots in Laos and Cambodia, and took out one million to exchange for Piast to weave the South Vietnamese intelligence network for Gui Qingshan, leaving one million as the overseas funding of the "Vietnam Chinese Literature and Art Research Association", and lent more than four million to Jean-Bonel. It seemed that more than nine million US dollars were gone without heat.
Money goes away and people are happy.
All the family is back and they will get married and be the groom next time. It is rare for Li Weimin to give herself a long holiday and plan to stay at home to spend a long time meeting with her father, mother, sister and fiancée.
Wishes are beautiful, but in fact they are unlikely to come true.
The embankment is very traditional, and the Li family and Wu family are highly anticipated wealthy families. The major events of weddings and funerals must be handled according to the rules.
The warlords of Pingchuan's mission were eliminated, so there was no need to worry about this and that. The Wu family style suddenly became severe. Wu Lijun got off the plane and just said a few words, she was taken home by her mother and brother. She didn't want to meet until the day she married her, so she could only call every day.
Even though he knew he was on vacation, he was from the Independence Palace, from the Industrial Investment Company, Gu Cailian, who was in charge of the Li family's enterprise, and Gu Changgeng, the "Yuehua Literature and Art Research Association"... and ran here every few days, all of which were big talk.
He has many friends, and Li Guanyun has more friends.
When he learned that "Brother Guanyun" was back, wealthy businessmen on the embankment rushed to send invitations. Yesterday, they went to another hotel in the Greater China Restaurant. The schedule was full, so they could only come back every night to reminisce about the past with their old friend Jean-Bonel.
"Brother, try the dress and see if it fits, and if it fits, please let someone change it."
No need to study, no internship, or study those messy stocks. Li Weiqing was like a bird released from a cage, happily helping her brother prepare for the wedding.
Li Weimin put down the annual financial report of the pharmaceutical factory sent by Gu Cailian and asked with confusion: "Didn't you try it yesterday?"
"I wore it yesterday during the wedding reception, and it was worn during lunch. To prevent wine and other things from spilling on you, I have prepared two sets for you. After trying these two sets, try the set in Justina."
Dad and brother returned safely, Giustina finally walked out of the shadow, and a knowing smile finally appeared on her face.
Her whole mental state has changed. Li Weimin believes that she will no longer drink alcohol and will not live that kind of chaotic life, because she decided to drop out of school last night and planned to go back to France with her father and brother after the wedding. As for the matter in the United States, no one mentioned it. No one would mention it.
"Beautiful bridesmaids, what's going on with this outfit?"
Justina burst into laughter: "This is for going to church. It's a wedding twice in a day. Lijun is so happy."
Wu Diem was sensitive and could not come to the Chinese area of Dike to attend Chinese weddings, so he could only entrust Chen Lichun to come. Otherwise, those locals who opposed him would accuse him of giving Chinese privileges like the French. At the same time, he wanted to be the host of marriage, so Li Weimin had to hold two weddings.
I went to the Wu family to welcome the bride in the morning, and walked through the brazier, church, cave-room and other procedures before 10 o'clock. At noon, I set up a flowing table in the Greater China Restaurant. I invited several opera troupes to sing big plays and symbolically toast the guests. I had to go to the Cathedral of Our Lady in the city with my wife who had changed into wedding dresses.
Whether a Catholic or not is not important, it is important to have a Catholic wedding.
After completing the procedures formulated by Diem himself, he had to rush to the Queen Hotel without stopping to host a banquet for senior government officials, colleagues from the Industrial Investment Company, ambassadors from various countries to Vietnam and consultants of the US military advisory group, officials of the International Development Mission, officials of the Special Economic and Technological Mission and colleagues of Msu.
I have to have dinner when I go out to welcome the wedding, I have to have dinner when I arrive at Wu's house, and I have to have dinner when I come back... I really don't know how many meals I have to eat on the wedding day, but I'm afraid of people when I think about it.
Li Weimin sighed secretly, took the clothes and asked, "Where are your classmates? You asked them to come over, but left them alone. Isn't that good, right?"
"Who said we don't care?"
Qingqing giggled while helping him out for clothes, "Tanis and the others went to his sister-in-law's place and asked his sister-in-law to take them to visit DreamWorks. All the boys went to the city. Some people were tour guides and they would not come back until night."
There are too many things to do, so I don’t have the time and energy to help my company get a loud name.
I didn't feel anything when I was in Vietnam. After arriving in the United States, I found it very rustic. So at their strong suggestion, Li's Film was renamed Dream Factory Entertainment Co., Ltd. and Li's Pharmaceutical was renamed Asia Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., plus the previous Raji Clothing Co., Ltd., all Li's companies no longer have the word "Li".
Speaking of "Dream Factory", Li Weimin couldn't help but ask: "Qingqing, Giustina, do you want to attend the Oscars again, do you want to follow the stage to receive the award again?"
This year, the awards were held in the Pingchuan faction coup and wanted to "share hardships" with Ng Diem. Even Bandung-Conference was not attended, so how could he go to the United States to receive any award? Wu Lijun and the other three in the United States came on stage with the production team and received a "little golden man" on his behalf.
In fact, there are two in total, one is the Best Documentary Award and the other is the Best Original Music Award. They won the Best Original Music Award on behalf of them, and the Best Documentary Award was won by President and Director Feng Boqing.
He won two awards at a time, causing a sensation in the United States.
The reason why Wu Lijun is so famous at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is that no one dares to offend him has a lot to do with this.
However, Vietnam's film industry is underdeveloped, there are not many cinemas, and many people have never even watched movies. They don't know what Oscars are, and they have caught up with the Pingchuan warlord coup. Although there are related reports from newspapers and radio stations, they have not attracted much attention.
I saw Audrey Hepburn, Gregory Parker, Eddie Albert... and other big stars, sitting next to them, and I don’t know how many times I have played with them. After receiving the award, I even attended the cocktail party together.
Too grand, too grand, too satisfying!
Qingqing was still a child after all, how could she not want to throw her clothes down and asked anxiously: "Brother, you have composed a song again, can you win an award after making a movie in DreamWorks?"
"I wrote a song, I don't know if I can win the award, but I have confidence in Mr. Feng."
"Dream Factory" is better than nothing, and not to make bad movies. It has been filming a movie from last year to now. No one knows what to shoot.
Qingqing asked, "Brother, have the movie been made yet? There is only one month left before Christmas. Can you catch up this year?"
There is a reason why the shooting is so slow.
Last time I took advantage of opportunities. This time I had to rely on real skills. Moreover, the film company had just started, so I had to recruit talents and devote some energy to infrastructure. I had to learn how to promote it and how to be both well-known and popular.
Li Weimin was about to tell them, but Ah Cheng knocked in and whispered: "Young Master, Mr. Liu is back, Brother Jiachang is having tea with him. Jiahui is going to find the master. You should be home soon."
Liu Jiahui is a true veteran and is still in charge of shipping companies and other businesses in Hong Kong.
How could Li Weimin let his elders wait? He took off his clothes and said with a smile: "Qingqing, Justina, I'll go see Uncle Hui first, try the dress tonight."
Sitting in front of the office, they must have a big deal. Li Weiqing smiled and said, "Go, don't worry about us."
When he arrived at the office on the first floor, Li Guanyun had already returned. Liu Jiachang was sitting with the two elders. Liu Jiahui poured tea for them like a waiter.
"Uncle Hui, why don't you say in advance when you come back? I can go to the dock to pick you up."
"You are so busy, can you tell you?"
Liu Jiahui sat on a chair that he had been sitting for decades, and his son had been sitting for a while. Now if there was no big deal, he wouldn't have anyone sat on it. He sighed sideways: "Guanyun, it's only been one year, and it's been decades a year, and the Yangtze River pushes the previous waves. You can't accept it."
A year ago, who would have thought that a movie could make millions of dollars, who would have thought that the half-dead East Asia Bank would have become the bank with the largest foreign exchange reserves in Vietnam, and who would have thought that the garment and pharmaceutical factories that he had just entered started to make profits before they could be built.
Especially the series of summer, autumn and winter clothes launched by the garment factory. In the supply in European countries such as France, the United Kingdom and West Germany, it has launched its own brand in just one year and has a certain international reputation.
Li Guanyun was also filled with emotion, picked up the cup and smiled, "It seems that we are still too conservative now."
"So I don't plan to take care of the shipping company anymore. I'll check out the houses in Hong Kong and collect the ancestors."
Li Weimin shook his head and said sincerely: "Uncle Hui, there are too many things to do in Cailian, so I can't take care of it at all. I, Jiachang, Jiahui and Pingchun, have their own things, and I can't spare more energy. You have to help us manage the shipping company for a few more years."
Li Guanyun believed in his son too much and asked skeptically: "Can't you be busy?"
"I'm so busy."
The day before yesterday, I took time to visit Vung Tau yesterday afternoon. The two industrial villages were like large construction sites, and were in a prosperous scene. It is said that the investment in Phu Quoc Island industrial village is larger, which is equivalent to the sum of several other industrial villages.
Thinking that his son is not just an ordinary businessman now, but also the chief executive in charge of several industrial villages. He has administrative power, judicial power and even military power, Li Guanyun said with concern: "For the people, you are now in a high position and powerful position, offended so many people, and are so young, seemingly glorious, but in fact he has many crises. No matter what you do in the future, you must be cautious."
Liu Jinghui deeply agreed: "You must not have the intention to harm others, but you must be careful of others."
Li Weimin nodded slightly and analyzed: "Dad, Uncle Hui, I, Jiachang, and Jiahui, we are not complacent or elated. On the contrary, the greater the power, the more funds we have in charge, the stronger the sense of crisis becomes. After all, we are Chinese and must walk on thin ice. If we fight for power like those locals who support Dienm, we will be doomed if we are not careful.
But being a Chinese is not without any benefit. Those who covet industrial investment companies are just greedy for money and power, and do not regard me as a political enemy. No one, including the opposition and the Vietnam League, will not regard us as a real opponent. In this way, we can develop without interference or less disturbance under the wings of Ng Diem for a period of time.
When several industrial villages develop, when there is a certain cohesion within them, when the number of Chinese people is a little more, and when most locals no longer regard us as foreigners but as a minority, then our situation will be much better than it is now..."
When capitalists develop to a certain level, they will fight for more power, otherwise how can they protect their wealth?
Li Guanyun didn't know what his son wanted to do, but one thing was certain. He would hold on to several industrial villages, especially the industrial village security team would not let him get involved.
Now that the reputation is good, no one says it, but what about the future?
Li Guanyun weighed the pros and said resolutely: "For the people, the Pingchuan faction is gone, Li Wenyuan is missing, and the sect warlords problem has basically been solved. Your mother and I have nothing to worry about. There is another family in France who are with General Huang Yasheng, and we don't plan to go back to Paris.
Live on the embankment for a while, stay in Vung Tau for a while, and stay in Phu Quoc Island for a while, and you can’t help with major issues, and it’s okay to help you unite with the older generation. And after we stayed, others especially opposed your locals, and it’s hard to make a fuss about our nationality.”
You always say patriotism, but your parents have immigrated, who believes it?
From this perspective, it is indeed better for them to stay than to go back to Paris. Besides, they are not familiar with the place there, so how can they live in South Vietnam be free?
Needless to thank the father and son, Li Weimin weighed the pros and downs and said with a smile: "Okay, but be careful."
