After exchanging ideas with Roberts, Jiang Chen finalized the plan for the Future Group to enter the film industry.
In his personal capacity, Jiang Chen will invest 1 billion US dollars to establish Chenguang Films. Chenguang Films is mainly responsible for the production and distribution of the film, and will have independent shareholding with the Future Group. This is mainly to avoid the Paramount regulations in the United States. The Future Group may intervene in the screening of the film in the future. However, there is actually no difference. Both Future Group and Chenguang Films are highly controlled by him. Although the shares are independent of each other, there is no difference in essence.
This is not his new country after all, it's better not to mess around.
With 10% equity and a basic salary of $1 million, Roberts was hired as the CEO of the company. He has been in Los Angeles for more than ten years, and after getting rid of his identity as an arms dealer, he has been in Hollywood for three years as a producer. With Roberts' contacts in this city, he is more than enough to be the CEO.
Of course, all this is still in the plan.
At least for now, the cooperation between Futureman Technology and Warner Bros. is still in the honeymoon period, and everything has to wait for the release of "The Iron Curtain of Time and Space".
When Jiang Chen walked out of the villa, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Lawrence was still leaning against the car, but this time instead of eating a hamburger, he was smoking a cigarette boredly.
Seeing Jiang Chen approaching, Lawrence stubbed out his cigarette.
"Where are you going next?"
"Where can we go so late?" Jiang Chen yawned and sat in the co-pilot.
"I thought that after attending this kind of party, you must have a date tonight." Lawrence said with a shrug.
Two hours ago, he had seen a group of Hollywood stars come out of Roberts' villa, and there were many beautiful girls with blond hair and blue eyes among them. According to the file the FBI built for him, this guy should be pretty unscrupulous.
"I'm here to reduce the workload for you." Jiang Chen teased the unsmiling agent chief, put on his seat belt, and continued, "I have no plans for tomorrow and the next two days, you can consider letting yourself go." Two days off."
"No arrangement?" Lawrence raised his eyebrows.
According to the security agreement between the two parties, Jiang Chen is obliged to provide the FBI with the itinerary plan for the next day so that they can make preparations. However, what Jiang Chen said about not having a plan made him a little confused.
"Yes, I will stay in the embassy of the new country for the next two to three days,
Exchanged opinions with my CEO on the upcoming SVIEF, and at the same time, I also need to personally handle some things in Xinguo. "Jiang Chen skillfully brought out the set of rhetoric he had prepared long ago.
Lawrence looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously, but didn't say anything about it.
There is no room for him, an outsider, to make irresponsible remarks about the internal arrangements of the Future Group. And even if he was killed, he would never have thought that Jiang Chen would sneak out and "visit" Area 51 in Lincolnshire, southern Nevada.
Meanwhile, at CIA headquarters in Virginia, a heated debate is erupting here. Stephen, who had just returned from Los Angeles, approached his immediate boss, Naomi Madden, the director of the CIA, and tried to persuade the boss to start the investigation process against Jiang Chen.
"It's still unclear whether it's a graphite bomb or an EMP—" Turning the ballpoint pen in his hand, Naomi leaned on the chair and listened to the report of his subordinates.
However, at work, his right-hand man did not buy it. Stephen amplified the volume and argued: "Conclusive? What evidence do we need? If the testimony of one hundred and ten Ukrainian government soldiers can't be used as evidence, then what's the point?" What's the proof? I'm sure it's EMP!"
It is indeed very difficult to distinguish the difference between graphite bombs and EMPs. Both can destroy the power grid and damage electronic equipment, but the former can be too inaccurate and ineffective for equipment that is too tightly sealed. Because the incident happened on the most chaotic front line, even CIA agents could not go deep behind enemy lines to collect so-called evidence like detectives handle cases.
A serious look appeared on Naomi's face, but she still hasn't made a decision.
The Ukrainian issue is indeed very important, otherwise the project team led by Stephen would not be directly responsible to him. The Ukrainian government army reported that Russia used a weapon that can paralyze electronic equipment, which immediately attracted the attention of the CIA. After airborne operations from Manila, I believe that no country will ignore EMP, the killer of modern civilization. Although all countries are protesting against this kind of weapon, everyone knows that everyone is secretly studying this kind of weapon.
The Pentagon suspects that the Future Group helped the Russians, but the KGB has done a good job in intelligence work, and the CIA has not collected relevant evidence for the time being. I don't even know how far the cooperation between the two parties has reached. If it's purely arms sales, it's okay, but if it's technology sales, it's a bit bad.
However, the people involved made it quite difficult for Naomi.
The White House is sending friendly signals to Xin Guo, but his capable subordinates have proposed to investigate Jiang Chen... Regardless of whether Jiang Chen is related to the weapons on the Russian-Ukrainian border, it is impossible for the CIA to investigate a guest from afar.
"The crux of the problem now is that even if it is proved that these weapons come from the military factory on Anga Island, it is a transaction between the future military industry and Russia. They did not directly sell the arms to the rebels." Naomi stopped her hands and turned Leaning on the chair with the ballpoint pen in his hand, he frowned and meditated, "This is difficult."
"Are they allowed to get away with it just because it's difficult?" Stephen said bitterly.
Naomi looked at Stephen with an excited expression on his face. He knew why his subordinate regarded Jiang Chen as a thorn in his side. The CIA once planned a kidnapping operation against Jiang Chen in China, but the whereabouts of dozens of CIA agents sent there are still unknown.
At first they thought it was Hua Guo who had arrested him, but after so many years, Hua Guo's silence on this incident began to make them suspect that it was really Hua Guo's intelligence department that got rid of those agents?
The dozens of dead agents were all Stephen's comrades-in-arms, and he understood his subordinates' feelings at the moment.
But for the sake of politics, Naomi was equally unlikely to approve his proposal. His predecessor took the blame and resigned because he planned Hua Guo's actions without authorization. As the CIA director who is pro-White House, he made the most conservative and correct choice.
"I will notify the White House."
"It is impossible for us to ask the White House for instructions on everything. Please, we are the CIA, not the FBI, and not the bureaucratic puppets of the White House! We should be responsible for national security! We can solve it in our own way—"
"It's too risky!" Naomi immediately interrupted Stephen.
However, Stephen didn't give up, with a sinister smile on the corner of his mouth, he said every word.
"I hear the Freemasons have a problem with them."
Naomi froze for a moment, not letting go of this opportunity, Stephen said while the iron was hot.
"There is no risk at all, we are completely on the sidelines, and we just need to provide a little help to those who are watching."
Naomi frowned slightly, seeming to understand what Stephen was trying to say, but still had doubts about whether it was feasible to do so.
"A bad one will start a war between the two countries."
"There will be no war! As long as the people who attack are not the United States, but the Freemasons! As long as we leave the whole thing completely aside, we won't get into any trouble! All we need to do is"
After a long silence, Naomi spoke slowly, neither expressly agreeing nor verbally vetoing, but giving an ambiguous answer.
"Hopefully, Los Angeles won't become a second Bay of Pigs."
A smile finally formed on the corner of Stephen's mouth.
He knew that this conservative and cautious Mr. Bureau Chief was finally persuaded by him.
"I promise." (To be continued.)
