Chapter 395 Chapter 393, I have strength and means (4K)

Lin Chu chatted with him for a while, and the dishes were served one by one, and they ate while chatting.

Tonight’s banquet was meant to save trouble, so we just had a potluck and even invited Jackie Chan and Misha.

After entering the door, Misha took the initiative to choose a seat close to herself, sitting upright and steadily, showing the princess-like style of a lady from a noble family.

Jackie Chan also brought a young and beautiful female assistant, who looked extremely well-behaved and sensible. She served him like a father, and listened more than she spoke.

The other two are Hu Pingan and Ma Lin.

After a few drinks, the atmosphere gradually heated up. This kind of entertainment was more like a family dinner. There was nothing special about it. It was just a meal together with friends who hadn’t seen each other for a long time. So the topics were all over the place and they talked about whatever came to mind.

“I heard that Mr. Lin is investing in a pharmaceutical factory and building a hospital this year, and is also planning to invest in life gene engineering?”

When talking about his recent health condition, Jackie Chan suddenly asked with a smile. His tone was casual, but his eyes revealed some concern.

Hearing this, Lin Chu was slightly startled, and asked with a smile: “Who told you this?”

“It seemed like a few months ago, I was drinking tea with some old friends and someone brought it up by chance.”

“There are quite a lot of rumors out there. Some say you have a terminal illness and are spending money to prolong your life, just like Liu Cixin. Others say you have some foreign high-tech, genetic engineering, and are inextricably linked to the Lister Bioengineering Foundation in London. Some say you are Lister’s successor, and your current net worth is comparable to that of the world’s richest man…”

“Ha, all kinds of rumors, I’m just gossiping.”

He said casually that Lin Chu today was really unexpected. It had only been two or three years, but he had reached this height. There was even an information gap.

But we had a good relationship before, so there’s no harm in asking.

Lin Chu touched his nose and said, “I don’t know which tabloid wrote this. The media nowadays is really unscrupulous… Building a hospital and a pharmaceutical factory is real. My father is old, so he made preparations in advance. I am also middle-aged now, so I have to prepare for myself as well.”

I had a vague thought in my mind that Jackie Chan is not young anymore. Although he looks to be in his fifties, he should actually be in his seventies.

No matter how famous a star or an old person is, when they reach their age, they naturally start to pay attention to health preservation and longevity, which is inevitable.

“What do you mean by middle-aged? Wow, handsome guy, you’re not even 30 years old yet, and you call yourself middle-aged. I’m an old man… Some time ago, a friend recommended me a drug from Pfizer, saying it can delay aging. It’s called DHEA. Have you heard of it?”

Jackie Chan said in a slightly exaggerated tone, and suddenly asked as if he was just saying it casually.

“No.”

“Eat less, sleep more, and exercise more. This is the ultimate way to maintain good health. As the saying goes, medicine is three-quarters poison… Oh, and keep a calm mind. A calm mind can cure three thousand diseases.”

Lin Chu was a little confused. He didn’t understand why he suddenly wanted to talk about this in depth. He smiled and said some meaningless words.

Jackie Chan nodded and smiled: “That’s right… If there is really a good medicine, remember to tell me about it. I am still interested in talking about it.”

“Okay, big guy.”

“Brother, you have such good genes, you will definitely live a long life…”

At this moment, Lin Chu felt a sense of decadence from him.

It seems that he is really interested in this field. He wants good medicine, and what he wants is nothing more than longevity.

However, his life was truly wonderful. He had fame and fortune, was successful both at home and abroad, had friends all over the world, and had many women. He did not miss anything, and was a figure worthy of leaving his name in film history.

The more you have, the more you fear its final destination.

Jackie Chan waved his hands and smiled, raised his glass and took a sip, then chatted about some random things, and the meal ended in a bland manner.

After the party, everyone went back to their rooms.

Misha followed Lin Chu closely, as if she was afraid that he would go back on his word.

After walking out of the elevator, the two walked towards the room alone, and entered the door one after the other. She suddenly reached out and hugged Lin Chu tightly from behind.

No words, no unnecessary movements, just hugging each other tightly.

Lin Chu tensed up a little, and instinctively almost threw her over his shoulder, but he managed to hold it back. His engorged muscles gradually softened, and he breathed a sigh of relief. This was the first time in the two years they had known each other that he took the initiative to hold her hand.

“No hurries?”

“It’s a long night. Sit down for a while and have some tea.”

Speaking softly, Lin Chu was also somewhat mentally prepared. What Jackie Chan had said in public when he was young seemed to give every man a golden ticket of immunity from death that was legitimate enough – it was just that he made the same mistake that every man would make.

“You…you can’t be…”

“You all have to start taking medicine, right?”

Misha seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly she laughed mischievously. Such jokes are common on the Chinese-speaking Internet.

Ok?
Looking at her with a mixture of laughter and tears, Lin Chu couldn’t help but reach out and gently hit her on the face. The force was not strong, but the humiliation was strong: “Hehe, I still have the strength and means to deal with you.”

I have been to various entertainment venues and met all kinds of princesses. Today, the one in front of me is a real princess.

……

While drinking tea, chatting and watching the night view, a message came from Hu Ping’an on my phone: “Brother Chu, Frederick came to me just now and said he wanted to see you. He suddenly made a request, saying he wanted to make a strategic investment in us and share resources… I rejected it, so I’m telling you.”

Hu Ping’an knew that he had the authority to handle these matters, but he still told Lin Chu about it.

Up to now, LC has been expanding its stores around the world, and now has more than one thousand stores. This naturally constitutes a very strong competitive force for traditional luxury brands, and its market share is also gradually increasing.

The current price is comparable to that of international first-tier brands, and its influence and product strength can also be considered quasi-first-tier.

Hu Ping’an was not surprised by Frederick’s request, but he was still a little uneasy when he suddenly asked it at this critical juncture. He felt that this man might cause trouble if he refused.

If it were normal, it would be fine, but it is a business war.

But now Lin Chu is here, and he originally wanted to show off in front of Brother Chu, but he must not make any mistakes and expose his butt.

“Just handle it yourself. Are you worried that he will cause trouble?”

When Lin Chu saw the text message, he replied casually. He was not nervous at all. Instead, he found it somewhat funny. He had been a performer at the Crazy Horse Show before, and now if others really wanted to be the performer, there was nothing he could do. He could just regard it as paying off his ridiculous debt.

Tsk.

Nowadays, it really is… too peaceful and I don’t take anything to heart.

“A little, but it doesn’t matter. What can he do? Don’t worry, I can handle it. I’m just telling you.”

Lin Chu thought about it and replied: “Based on my understanding of foreign capital, there is a high probability that they will stir up trouble at the level of public opinion. Pay special attention to those foreign models who suddenly break their contracts. As long as the money is in place, many people will do such self-destructive things. Prepare a backup plan and find another batch as a backup.”

Although it was not a big deal, it would be quite disgusting if it really happened. Lin Chu predicted it and responded.

As for other issues, such as security, there is no need to worry about them in China.

Frederick was so bold that he didn’t dare to cause any security trouble in the country. After replying one message, Lin Chu thought about it and sent another message: “No, send someone to keep an eye on him, confiscate his cell phone, put him under house arrest, and then throw some dirty water on him, saying that contraband was found in the room… Take him away.”

now.

Hu Ping’an, who was in the room, was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Chu’s text message.

Uh.

Does it seem too wild and overbearing?
However, it is not difficult to do this, it is just a piece of cake.

No matter how happy a foreigner is outside, when he comes to our country, he still faces a behemoth like our own. How could he want to invest in us?
“Okay, I understand. You can wait and see the news tomorrow.”

Lin Chu shook his head and smiled, without replying to him. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to the investment company: “The LV stock price may fall tomorrow, so buy more if it falls.”

You should buy it if you need to.

The highest-end business wars are often so simple and unpretentious.

After explaining all this, Lin Chu threw away his phone and drank a sip of tea. He felt somewhat pleased, as if he had regained the feeling of youthfulness.

Do whatever you want.

……

Early the next morning.

Just after waking up, he got up from the bed, pushed the woman’s hand away, and looked at his mobile phone while going to the bathroom. Lin Chu saw several messages sent by Hu Ping’an.

First, there were a few photos and a notice in white text on a blue background from an official agency, saying that a foreign man was involved in drug-related crimes late at night and had been taken away according to law.

“Boss Lin, I didn’t do this to him. This guy really brought it. I just had someone take the room card, go to his room, catch the bodyguard, and secretly watch.”

“He’s really brave. I don’t know where he got it from. I guess he’s planning to use it tonight.”

“The blood test results are out, positive, it’s a done deal now. You idiot, you think this is Southeast Asia!”

“The rest of the matter has nothing to do with us. We will fight back when the enemy comes and block the water with earth.”

It seems that Lao Hu was very busy last night. Now he has nailed the matter down, especially since he is in the right.

“OK.”

Lin Chu replied casually, feeling a little emotional in his heart. Now, it really felt like he was able to make clouds come as a result of turning his hand, and rain fall as a result of turning his hand back.

This feeling, to be fair, is still a bit charming.

No wonder people become more and more arrogant.

But for me, there is no such thing as inflation. It’s just something I do casually.

No matter what kind of revenge the family behind Frederick will take, it seems like child’s play now.

Lister is already the biggest “BOSS” he has ever fought. The strength of the club is quite explosive even when looking at the world. The hardships and setbacks he has experienced are also extreme.

Now that I have reached the maximum level, the storm is nothing but a drizzle.

……

Today is the day of the big show. It was a chaotic day during the day. The entire hotel was thoroughly checked. For many people, there was a feeling of panic.

Several foreign models, some of whom are quite famous, chose to withdraw from the show through public channels, and made some remarks such as “shady dealings” and “conspiracy” as a protest, which caused quite a stir outside the country.

Hu Ping’s security rights are responsible for handling it.

Now we also have channels to speak out. The war of public opinion is nothing more than a war of words. Moreover, since it is something that has been proven, we can find some heavyweight voices to set the pace and then we can just go back and forth.

There is no need to disturb Lin Chu. Just say something in the group and Zhang Peng will take it seriously and discuss it with Xu Hu. It is not a big deal.

Lin Chu continued to do the questions during the day, and when the show was held as usual in the afternoon, he appeared on the scene.

There are four hosts tonight. Jackie Chan is one of them. His female companion is a top female internet celebrity from LC Media. The other two are foreigners. The man is a well-known host from across the ocean, and the woman is a former winner of the Victoria’s Secret Show.

A fusion of Chinese and Western elements, top-notch specifications, and live broadcast around the world.

However, there are too many shows like this. This show is not really innovative, but just average.

As for popularity, it certainly exists in certain areas, but it is unlikely to spread to the entire population.

Lin Chu sat in the front row with the mentality of watching a show, watching the show with peace of mind. He didn’t even go to the jury seat because he didn’t want to show his face, and there was no need to do so.

Sitting on the left is Wang Zhefei, and on the right is Zhang Peng.

Zhang Peng flew here specially today to observe.

I had not originally intended to come, but last night Hu Ping’an said that he was looking for talented and famous models as backup, so he mobilized a group of first-line anchors from the company, and they all came. I also came here in person to watch the fun.

Wang Zhefei was simply bored and came over to watch the fun.

The big show has already begun, and the trio are watching the stage with great interest, as if they have regained the mood of watching beauties on the street in the past, and they are marveling in admiration.

“It’s really well done. Lao Hu is quite capable. Ha, I was careless. I didn’t even get a review in advance. He had posted it in the group before, but I didn’t take it seriously.”

Wang Zhefei smiled frivolously.

Fashion has many sub-areas. Fashion shows are different from beauty pageants, and the styles of the past are also different from the styles of the present.

Previously I thought it was similar to the Paris Fashion Show, with those squinty-eyed monsters, or the ugly beauty pageants in recent years. I had already formed a stereotype, and instinctively thought it was boring and didn’t want to come.

Now it seems that it is not the case.

The beauties who came on stage all fit the style of traditional Chinese aesthetics. They all had graceful figures and their own unique beauty. There was no sign of plastic surgery. Their aesthetic orientation was natural beauty. Even those who came on stage earlier were very recognisable and each had their own beauty.

Zhang Peng’s comments were much more professional: “Lao Hu really has something. He seems to be reshaping aesthetics. This is a good thing, and it fits the brand’s tone very well… Damn, it’s like a dream back to 20 years ago, awesome!”

Lin Chu nodded and smiled.

“I said he insisted on letting me come and see it. It turns out there are really good things…”

The aesthetic trend should indeed change. The domestic aesthetic value system has been almost completely criticized by foreigners. What do you call beauty?

Today, with the influence of its own brand, although it cannot completely occupy the right to speak, it can still stand on the stage and redefine the standard of beauty.
