The daily life of American drama detective

Chapter 224 The Aggrieved Encounter.com Boss: Detective Chuck, this matter is endless!

Chuck takes Alex away.

Erica, the wife of the other side of the conflict, quickly found her.

"Alex, are you alright?"

Erica cared.

"I am fine."

Alex smiled wryly: "It's just that I really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen. Andrew was actually in a normal state at the time, and there was no problem at all."

"Don't think about it, it's not your fault."

Erica reassured, then glanced at Chuck: "It's not anyone's fault, no one wants to."

"Yes."

Alex nodded: "Now I can only give more money to Andrew's family."

"Speaking of giving money, how did I hear that you asked John to pay a huge compensation of 1200 million U.S. dollars?"

Erica was puzzled: "Where did this number come from?"

Alex couldn't help looking at Chuck, and she didn't understand why the number was this.

"The maximum value calculated by the law firm."

Chuck answered, "Do you think there is a problem?"

"Of course there are problems."

Erica couldn't bear it anymore: "This number is too big, too big to be supported by Encounter.com, and it is impossible for us to pay the money."

Speaking of this, I was worried that my tone was too harsh, and I would talk to Chuck like my husband, so I quickly looked at Alex and said emotionally: "Alex, you also know the The situation, it’s not that I don’t want to give this money, it’s just that I don’t have so much money, I’ve tried my best to keep other people’s jobs, if I want to pay this money, more employees will definitely be dismissed, when the time comes God knows if there will be another tragedy like Andrew? You don’t want to do this either, do you?”

"Chuck……"

Alex also looked at Chuck worriedly.

"You guys have money!"

Chuck said calmly: "You have to pay the money, and you can't fire employees for this reason."

"why?"

Erica finally understood why her husband was so angry. Even she was a little annoyed by Chuck's attitude: "We're out of money!"

"Don't be angry, this is not necessarily a bad thing for you."

Alex had a good impression of Erica, and he didn't want to have conflicts with each other, so he moved in his heart and persuaded him with meaning.

"..."

Erica watched Alex wink at herself, instantly understood what Alex meant, and her face darkened.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to pay such a large amount of money, Alex clearly said that she complained about her husband having a real John Fry's redemption in the Bible.

Well, the logic is that if you have less money, you can save those beautiful bitches, right?
"Alex, do you really think a man would wrong his brother for others?"

Erica simply pointed it out directly, and sneered: "You can't be so naive, right? It's okay to suffer others, but do you think it's possible to suffer your own brother?"

"Ah this."

Alex really didn't expect Erica to point this out directly, a little caught off guard, but also felt that Erica's words were reasonable, and looked at Chuck again hesitantly.

For a man, it is true that no one wants to suffer for his own brother!
Seeing this, Erica felt a little proud.

She may not be able to deal with Chuck, but it is still very easy to deal with Alex. As the proprietress of Yuyu.com, she is naturally on the same side with her husband in this matter, and it is impossible to agree to pay a huge amount of 1200 million compensation.

However, compared to her husband who was so angry that he threw things everywhere and said harsh words, she was much calmer. She guessed that there must be a reason why Chuck dared to say that, so she took the initiative to inquire about the news in order to make the most sensible choice.

"You have plenty of money!"

Chuck's attitude didn't change at all: "The websites like X Art website you have participated in provide you with a steady stream of cash flow. As long as you are willing, it is not impossible to increase the amount by 1200 million US dollars in a short period of time."

Erica narrowed her eyes and immediately understood Chuck's hint.

Adult websites such as X Art website are legal businesses in the United States, and compared to other businesses, this business has unique advantages.

It is closely related to the three-drug Huanggadu's Huangzi, and it has huge profits. What's more, it relies on the Internet + to upgrade the traditional labor-intensive industry into an Internet industry, which immediately has unlimited imagination.

Moreover, it is also somewhat involved in the fields of art, film and television, otherwise it would not be called an art website.

As we all know, the art and film and television industries are full of various unspeakable operations. High premiums and high valuations are the norm, and it is not uncommon for sky-high prices to explode at every turn.

An industry with unlimited market expansion and unlimited imagination can also unscrupulously high premiums and high valuations. The maneuverability is too strong, and it is especially suitable for laundering black gold.

After all, as long as the other end of the computer can't die, it will rush to death.

Moreover, many of the film source providers of the website are the ones who need to launder black money.

Think about the various chaos in the heyday of Eastern Hollywood, and expand those chaos to replace the situation here.

John Foley owns shares in many websites such as X Art Website, and after a little thought, he must be inextricably linked with some dark forces.

How can this kind of person stand up to investigation?

"Are you serious?"

Erica looked at Chuck in disbelief: "You have to do this for someone you don't know?"

Offending a billionaire is already a very risky thing, but looking at Chuck like this, he doesn't care about offending the more terrifying dark forces, and all this is just for a dead person she doesn't know, which makes her unable to understand.

"I don't like change."

Chuck said calmly.

"Hold on."

Seeing that Chuck was serious, Erica hesitated a bit, said something, picked up the phone and went out.

"Or forget it?"

Alex also guessed that the water was deep here, and persuaded: "I know you want to make me feel better, but paying 200 million yuan is enough, don't ask for so much, and I will listen to you in the future I’m not going to do this anymore.”

"Don't worry, they'll let it go."

Chuck said with certainty.

"What if they don't?"

Alex worried.

"Then let them relax."

Chuck was expressionless: "It's still the same sentence. The words have been said. I don't like changes."

After a while, Erica walked back with a solemn expression.

"How did he say?"

Alex's heart sank.

"John still disagrees."

Erica smiled bitterly and said, "He was so angry this time that he felt that he had lost face, so he didn't care about it at all. He said he wasn't afraid of Chuck's investigation, because there was nothing to cover up. Even if there was something wrong with it, he just Shareholding, not clear about other things in it, and his legal team is not vegetarian."

Speaking of this, she looked at Chuck: "Look? How about you take a step back from each other and make less points?"

"No, I won't change what I said."

Chuck shook his head: "Maybe he can say that he is only a shareholder of websites like X Art.com and doesn't know about other things in it. What about Encounter.com?"

"Encounter Network?"

Erica's eyes panicked: "What does this have to do with Encounter.com?"

The income from websites like X Art.com belongs to her husband, and has little to do with her, but Yuyu.com is her painstaking effort. If there is such a big trouble here, then she can't just sit on the sidelines and smooth things over.

"You really don't know?"

Chuck looked at her.

"What do I know?"

Erica pretended to be calm.

Alex also noticed that Erica's mood was not right, and was wondering what was wrong with Encounter.com. Suddenly a thought flashed, but he remembered that Erica seemed to understand something when he talked about the origin of Encounter.com, and looked shocked. looking at Erica.

"What is an encounter? An unexpected fate."

Chuck said: "If there is anticipation and preparation in advance, is it still called an encounter? And what is the ultimate form of this 'encounter'? It is nothing more than changing from the Internet + to a traditional labor-intensive industry."

Alex showed a demeanor as expected.

She had a flash of inspiration just now and remembered that Erica mentioned her husband's original intention of founding Encounter.com, but it was because of "John Foley's redemption". As the founder and senior user, Encounter.com has the characteristics of pimping in its genes .

It was not obvious that it was hidden in the shadow of finding true love for ordinary people before, but after a little thought, isn't there a "high-end service" for high-end paying customers?

What kind of service do rich people like John Foley want?

Then she couldn't help but wonder if Erica knew about these things?
She guessed that Erica knew, or at least acquiesced.

Because the market environment is not good and large-scale layoffs are required, the good days of finding investors to burn unlimited money are over. In order to keep the website alive, some paid projects must be implemented.

How can the money of ordinary people be as good as the money of rich people?
No wonder she saw Erica personally arrange for beautiful female members, teaching makeup skills, image design, arranging conversation training, and talking about dreams...

"This is a misunderstanding of us by the outside world."

Erica smiled and said: "As long as you do anything, you can find an excuse to attack as long as you are picky. We are not afraid of these things."

This is the truth.

Some housewives have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with this Encounter.com for a long time, pointing out the possibility of this kind of operation on Encounter.com, but the results are all painless, and instead attract more people who discover new worlds and come to explore.

"You were not afraid before."

Chuck looked at her: "Because there is no strong person to challenge you, you don't need to use any relationships, and the law firm you hired can solve these troubles, but it's different now.

It is difficult for you to get out of this trouble with lawyers alone.

But you still have confidence, because you have a wealth of connections, especially through Encounter.com, you can quickly accumulate connections that are very beneficial to you. I think this is Mr. Fry's biggest reliance.

I'm afraid that in court, no matter how unfavorable the evidence is for you, the result will be in your favour.

But it's a pity that there are advantages and disadvantages. Once the real evidence of the possibility of this kind of operation breaks out in the news, under the storm of public opinion, those personal connections that are conducive to your black box operation will turn against you one by one and maintain it. Your own image status, avoid being associated with your 'high-end paying users' by the public. "

"What solid evidence?"

Erica was startled.

"I think you should tell your husband these words."

Chuck reminded.

Erica was silent, took out her phone and went out again.

"Do you have solid evidence?"

Alex asked.

"No."

Chuck shook his head.

"...Then you still say that?"

Alex froze.

"It doesn't matter if you have it or not."

Chuck said: "As long as I check, I can always find out."

"What if they still disagree?"

Alex's mouth twitched.

"Then continue."

Chuck said frankly: "With their flaws, I can always convince them."

"Do you have any other reasons?"

Alex stared at Chuck in amazement.

"Too much."

Chuck nodded.

This time, Erica took a long time to come back, and as soon as she entered the door, she turned around and wiped her tears.

"Erica."

Alex was startled, and hurried over to ask, "What's wrong with you?"

"I am fine."

Erica wiped away her tears, and pretended to be strong and showed a heart-wrenching smile to Alex: "John and I quarreled again, and we may really have trouble going on."

"He's still not willing to compromise?"

Alex looked unbearable.

"I asked him to lower his face for the sake of the overall situation of encounter.com, but he disagreed."

Erica said with tears in her eyes: "Chenyu.com is everything to me, but for John, it is not. He would rather go bankrupt than lose face again."

Speaking of this, she stretched out her hand and grabbed Alex's hand, begging with tears in her eyes: "Alex, can you see if this works, I will pay 100 million to Andrew's family by myself, and let this matter stop here , I also want to give out more, but I really have no money, encounter.com is all I have, I can't watch her go bankrupt... woo woo woo."

"Erica."

Alex hugged Erica who fell into her arms and buried her head in tears, and looked at Chuck with embarrassment.

"Good acting."

Chuck was unmoved: "But the object was displayed wrongly. If you really care about the future of Encounter.com, then you should use this acting skill to your husband. There are less than 7 hours until tomorrow."

"..."

Erica looked at Chuck in disbelief. She was like this, but Chuck didn't let go at all. Is there any man's instinct to be sympathetic?
Isn't she beautiful enough?
"Erica, Chuck's decision, no one can change it, or you'd better go back and persuade your husband, hurry up."

Alex also felt the firmness of Chuck's attitude, and completely dispelled his plan to take a step back, and sincerely persuaded: "In case someone plays fairy dance... not everyone is like Pete Florrick. Easy to talk to."

Erica looked at Alex with a change in her eyes.

She really didn't expect Alex to say such implicitly threatening words.

Pete Frolick is the husband of a good wife, the former Attorney General of Chicago, and the possible future Meifengzong. The reason why he lost his reputation a while ago is that he was exposed by real hammer because of his active participation in labor-intensive industries.

Fortunately, this has nothing to do with Encounter.com.

But imagine that this has something to do with Encounter.com, then the problem is serious. The property of Encounter.com and her husband is not too big to fail. Once it is involved in a similar big event, there must be no good juice for Encounter.com and them.

Heart scandals are the least technical but the most useful, because once exposed, it is difficult to prove their innocence, and it will seriously damage the personal image and family relationship of public figures.

The reason why Pete Florrick was able to run again after he came out was because his wife did not divorce like ordinary wives, but saved him under the banner of family.

But other people may not have such a rational lawyer's wife who knows how to weigh the pros and cons.

Once it is exposed because of the Encounter.com, the revenge that the Encounter.com and their husband and wife may suffer will be unbearable to them.

However, this is not a fantasy. Encounter.com has been running until now, and now it is focusing on building high-end paying users. Some professionals have already targeted the screened user groups and carried out video blackmail.

Not to mention the possible retaliation, even if word of mouth is passed on in this way, how will you earn money from high-end paying customers in the future?
"I'll go back and persuade John now!"

Erica could no longer pretend to be pitiful, so she quickly wiped away her tears and walked out.

The estate of the Fry family.

Erica explained all the pros and cons, and repeatedly persuaded her furious husband to compromise: "John, don't be angry, although 1200 million is a lot, it won't hurt us, but once we get targeted by Detective Chuck, Just listening to what he said casually makes us unable to bear the possible consequences...Give it up, it will be considered a charity donation, and you can get a good name."

"... just give it."

After venting his anger, John Foley finally calmed down a bit, gritted his teeth and nodded, with an angry and unwilling face: "Chuck Wolfe, I'm not done with you!"

"Don't provoke him."

Seeing that her husband agreed to give the money, Erica breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded her: "You are not the only one who had conflicts with him, female senators, congressmen, billionaires, who is worse than you? Where are they now? ?”

"..."

John Frye was speechless, watching Erica call Alex, and after saying the 1200 million that agreed with Chuck, he hung up the phone, and cursed bitterly again: " This is definitely not over!!!"
