Chapter 168 Stealing Your Soul
In the blink of an eye, another three to five months have passed.
Yu Zhen spent his second Spring Festival in North America after his physical body transmigrated.
As a result, when he went to the United States with the delegation last fall, he landed and stayed there without returning, effectively breaking away from the official facade of the University of Tokyo (of course, all of which were the so-called facts that were deliberately presented to all parties).
It's difficult to say how various parties in the domestic cultural circle would comment on this situation.
Anyway, the things they said weren't very pleasant to hear.
There's nothing we can do about it; Yu Zhen really went to North America and then chose to stay there and not return!
Even during his stay abroad, his efforts to earn foreign exchange for the country never ceased for even a single day.
The revenue generated from his science fiction series, along with the work team in Shanghai, continues to be closely coordinated with the North American publishing team.
As expected, over the next five years, $150 million in overseas royalties will continue to flow back to China.
But after all, he didn't return.
This alone, in the eyes of many, already constitutes an absolute lack of loyalty.
Moreover, he is currently enjoying increasing fame and success in the international entertainment industry, and is on the verge of becoming a godfather-level figure in the overseas cultural scene.
Leaving aside other aspects, let's just talk about the Hollywood film and television industry and the American music industry.
Nowadays, anyone who wants to make a living in the entertainment industry, whether inside or outside the industry, would want to curry favor by appearing on his live variety shows and gaining recognition and popularity within the circle.
If you could win his favor and be commissioned to write one or two classic masterpieces, you would be just like the black singer MJ, who was clearly promoted and made famous by him. Who wouldn't want to become the second MJ?
Furthermore, through Tang Jinmao, a compliant intermediary, a hidden financial consortium deeply integrated into the North American entertainment industry has already taken shape in just a few months.
Tang Jinmao and his cronies, a bunch of typical redneck white people, became the apparent owners of this invisible capital shadow consortium.
The most obvious sign of this is that Fox Media Group, the company behind the North American online television station where Yu Zhen works, has a new owner.
That's right, Donald Trump became the behind-the-scenes boss of Fox Media Group.
As expected, the original owner of Yusha was kicked out, and Tang Jinmao came from behind to firmly control the discourse power of this traditional media platform.
Of course, Tang Jinmao was able to win smoothly.
On the one hand, he was indeed "rich and powerful". Relying on the Century Records that he painstakingly created and successfully made, he not only secured his position as the godfather of American entertainment music, but also made a fortune in just six months by releasing 5 million Century Records for free. He then naturally became a rising star in the military, special agents, the police, and the legal community.
Secondly, naturally, Yu Zhen was driven by his deeply planned roadmap for the emperor's ascension to the throne.
To be honest, once Tang Jinmao's imperial ambitions were activated, his ability to withstand work pressure was absolutely top-notch in the industry.
"My God, this is so sudden! Have you really decided to return to the Asia-Pacific region? Our situation in North America has just begun to open up, and it's a golden period for us to make great strides. Yet you're abandoning me and returning home. Could it be that I haven't performed well enough lately, and have angered you?"
That day, as usual, Tang Jinmao privately reported his work to Yu Zhen, only to be surprised to hear Yu Zhen mention that he would be returning to East Asia in the second half of the year to start a new battle in Hong Kong.
Upon hearing this, Tang Jinmao immediately became furious.
There's nothing we can do about it!
It should be noted that last autumn, Tang Jinmao appeared to be a successful real estate businessman, with a glamorous exterior.
In reality, he knew his own situation best. At that time, his career had reached its lowest point, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. If he was not careful, he would fall into the bottom line of North America and become a homeless person on the streets.
At the time, he made a huge gamble, betting his entire fortune on this young Dongguo writer.
His high-stakes gamble proved to be incredibly brilliant.
Today, Tang Jinmao has transformed himself into a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars.
He is also an entertainment godfather admired by millions in the American entertainment industry. With a casual remark, he can make a Hollywood superstar's dream come true, or with another casual word, he can shatter the dream of an already famous Hollywood superstar. He truly controls the lifeline of entertainment capital.
All of this was given to me by the young man in front of me.
Without this person's guidance, Tang Jinmao would be nothing.
Yu Zhen waved his hand casually, "Brother Chuan, don't look like you've lost your wife. My return to the Asia-Pacific region is a strategic direction that was established more than half a year ago. Besides, with you and your partners in charge of key areas in North America, I don't need to worry about anything. For the next three to five years, or even longer, you can follow my development blueprint and expand our entertainment empire step by step."
Let us await the rapid arrival of the high-tech era of the Internet —
Tang Jinmao looked like he was faking his tears, but it didn't seem like he was just pretending to be upset.
He said, "But, my God, without you by my side, I feel insecure! You know I'm stupid, but our opponents are all cunning and treacherous. I'm afraid that if I'm not careful, I might ruin the country we've worked so hard to build!"
'
Yu Zhen was speechless, then retorted, "I'm just returning to the Asia-Pacific region, not cutting off all contact with you. With today's advanced communication technology, if you encounter a problem you can't solve, wouldn't you call me? If it's really inconvenient over the phone, you can fly directly to East Asia and come to Hong Kong to ask me for advice, wouldn't that be the same?"
Tang Jinmao said pitifully, "But—but I'm a little—a little afraid to go to your country—"
"I'm afraid—I'm afraid of being cursed—"
Yu Zhen laughed and scolded, "You dog-like thing, after all this time of cooperation, do you really think I'm some kind of Eastern sorcerer who curses others? Besides, the Eastern Kingdom has never been the primitive, barbaric, and terrifying place that you North American country bumpkins imagine. If you have the chance, go to the Eastern Kingdom a few more times and really visit and understand it for yourself, then you won't have those stupid thoughts anymore."
Tang Jinmao clearly still didn't dare to agree to that.
He dared not go to the East; who knows what kind of North American religious sects this bastard had secretly come into contact with for baptism?
It's highly likely that it was him. In Tang Jinmao's mind, he was probably someone who could be compared to, on par with, or even surpassed figures like Satan and Yevgeny.
In reality, if Yu Zhenruo didn't possess any heaven-defying witchcraft, how could he have helped Tang Jinmao become a financial tycoon with a net worth of tens of billions of dollars in less than half a year?
Moreover, Tang Jinmao did something else. After making a fortune, he did try to break free from Yu Zhen's remote control and spiritual control.
But clearly, this attempt ultimately failed.
As for the reason, it's not surprising. The main reason is that Tang Jinmao couldn't resist his own greed.
That North American emperor was so beautiful, she had already captivated his soul.
