Super Zoo-Chapter 826 - 798 National Intervention_2
"Mr. Su, the higher-ups have taken this matter very seriously upon receiving the news, and have ordered me to escort you back to the capital to report to the leadership." The director's figure was tall and upright, standing like a javelin, clearly from a military background.
"Alright, just give me a few minutes."
Suming nodded, then turned around to face Ludmila, who was also saying goodbye to the Russian general before approaching him.
A deep hug, unrelated to romantic feelings.
"It seems like the situation is quite serious, take care," Ludmila whispered in Suming's ear.
"I understand, and I'll offer you an old saying from Huaxia," Suming smiled. "When the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up, and as a middle-level executive in a mercenary company, you should not get involved. If the vengeance of Beck can't be avenged by the governments of two countries, we are equally helpless."
Ludmila nodded, her expression solemn: "Take care!"
...
Two planes took off in different directions, one flying directly to Moscow, the other directly to the capital of Huaxia.
Suming and his group, including Zhao Yun, Chengcheng, Su Meng, Nangong Yan, Hu, had completely disappeared for over a month, in the eyes of the zoo staff and employees from various Taoyuan companies.
Even with the connections of Wang Jian She, the whereabouts of Suming, Zhao Yun, and others were elusive, only knowing that after returning from Romania, they were taken directly to the capital; as for the reasons and specific locations of the event, and when they could return, there was no information.
"It shouldn't be a problem," Wang Jian She analyzed to Wang Hao after piecing together bits of information. "With Suming's current status, if the state wanted to act against him, there would be no need for such secrecy. Besides, there is no reason to act against him."
"What about 'no news of life or death'?" Wang Hao frowned. "Could he have gotten into trouble?"
"Don't overthink it, just handle your responsibilities within Taoyuan Group well. If he really doesn't come back, our power is of no use. Of course, that's the worst-case scenario. Based on my experience, it's practically impossible," Wang Jian She smiled. "Maybe this is an opportunity. Meeting with the capital's leaders could be very advantageous for future business."
The 'disappearance' of Suming and others did not only cause agitation among the Wang family.
Zhaoqian was the first to panic, almost waiting daily in the zoo for news; the Nangong Family, with their police system connections, tried every means to gather information but even a deputy mayor was helpless, and with the Nangong Family's highest background at the department-level, they could not find out more, only knowing that they went to the capital with Suming.
Although various rumors circulated within Taoyuan's companies, fortunately, the foundation Suming had laid before was robust, and even in his absence, no significant issues arose in the short term.
...
Two months later, Suming and his party suddenly returned to Yangchuan City.
However, as for what exactly happened, they did not tell anyone, even close individuals like Wang Hao, Suming remained tight-lipped.
Strangely, since Suming returned from the capital, Taoyuan Group began to develop rapidly, as if divinely assisted.
Shortly after their return, the zoo received a 5A scenic rating, and together with the Houshan Nature Reserve, was placed under the unified management of Taoyuan Tourism Company without governmental interference.
Taoyuan Tourism boldly reformed, designating the 5A scenic area as Qinling Natural Reserve, Film and Television City, and a major block for theme tourism and leisure resorts, aiming directly at Disney.
Our goal is: In places where Taoyuan Tourism operates, Disney will not be able to profit within 20 years.
Discerning individuals all understand, once Suming's funds are sufficient, he will be able to purchase it.
Great Sage Liquor Industry has become a bestselling brand nationwide within just half a year and has been recognized as a famous brand in Huaxia. Normally, once sales stabilize, this winery alone could plan to go public separately in a few years.
In the breeding industry, after integrating Taoyuan Agriculture Co., Ltd., the focus has shifted to the development of pure natural, pollution-free green food. In the short term, this market is not very large, but it definitely has a broad prospect.
Regarding the original entertainment company mainly featuring live webcasting, Wang Hao is largely in charge, preparing to list on the New Third Board. The New Third Board cannot be compared with major boards like the Main Board or the GEM Board, but it is merely a stepping stone. As long as the performance remains steadily rising, moving to a higher board is not impossible.
Hong Family Cuisine, overnight, spread across the entire province, becoming a restaurant group with 14 branches, with the trend of further expanding beyond the local area.
Half a year later, Taoyuan Film and Television Company, in collaboration with Long Wu as an independent producer, released the fantasy blockbuster World of Warcraft. It received mixed reviews domestically and internationally but garnered a total global box office of 1.5 billion US dollars. After dividing the profits, Taoyuan Film and Television Company netted close to 500 million US dollars.
This sum of money injected new vitality into the entire Taoyuan Group, allowing Taoyuan Real Estate's retirement community project to finally be completed and begin national advertising. At the same time, Yangchuan City's largest real estate company, Baoye Group, joined hands with Taoyuan Group to bid on two major shantytown renovation projects in Yangchuan City.
After a year of turmoil, the national art cinema market calmed down. Most of the initially-multi-collaborated art cinemas could no longer survive. Unavoidably, with only one cinema per city and several managers for such a small market, it was impossible to run effectively. Seizing this opportunity, Taoyuan Cinema acquired a number of nearly bankrupt art cinemas and established the Taoyuan Art Theatre Chain.
The Warcraft movie, for Taoyuan, brought not only economic benefits but also opened up the international market. Following Warcraft, Taoyuan Cinema filmed a series of international movies, among which the most famous was the movie version of Game of Thrones, like The Lord of the Rings series, divided into several parts. Currently, the first part has been completely filmed.
Huaxia's, as well as international's. Besides adapting foreign scripts, Taoyuan Film and Television also focused on outstanding domestic subjects, seemingly addicted to serialized storytelling. Epic dramas like Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were also beginning to be adapted and filmed.
According to Suming's plan, after these movies are completed, even if only half are profitable, Taoyuan Film and Television Company's promotion would be complete. The company's future is on NASDAQ.
Suming's personal wealth, at least on the surface, has not inflated much, at least not in magnitudes, except for acquiring a small island in the Pacific Ocean. On the books, the funds have decreased, unavoidably, because there are too many areas requiring expenditures.
Yet, it's clear to everyone, this is only temporary. In less than three years, as each of Taoyuan's companies goes public one after the other, forming a business empire, his wealth will skyrocket overnight, stepping into the ranks of the wealthiest in Asia and even globally.
...
"Spend whatever it takes, be sure to save his life."
In a nationally renowned military hospital, Suming, looking at Park Cheol-bin lying in the ICU with a respirator, said grimly to the deputy director of the hospital.
Having lived a happy life in the zoo for more than a year, Park Cheol-bin's condition finally became uncontrollable, with potential life-threatening danger at any time, awake for no more than two hours a day.
"Mr. Su, he has at most a year to live. In the last months, he will be in a lot of pain." The director shook his head, "With our current medical standard, we can't do anything."
Suming is not visiting this hospital for the first time. When he returned home from Romania, their group spent half a month in this hospital; the expert deputy director in front of him is one of the few who knows the truth.
"The only thing we can be sure of now is that his condition is very similar to that shark-person's. It seems to be some kind of man-made genetic mutation. The shark-person's mutation is a complete failure, while his mutation symptoms are relatively mild. Unless the other party can provide the source and sections of the mutating gene, it is fundamentally impossible for us to identify the mutating gene among numerous genes, most of which are unknown, and offer a treatment plan," said the director.
"Fuck!" Suming couldn't help but swear. This statement is no different from not saying anything!
It's completely impossible for that mysterious organization to voluntarily come forward and cure Park Cheol-bin.
Thinking of this, Suming was filled with anger, or rather, feeling wronged.
Not only could Park Cheol-bin not be saved, even the matter of avenging his father had become a fantasy!
