Chapter 488: Uneasy all day long
Through reports from the American media and other channels, major assassin organizations around the world have received news of the "Link assassination case".
The major killer organizations were shocked by the outcome of this incident.
It is understood that 21 professional killers participated in this assassination, including two ace killers, eight elite killers, and more than a dozen ordinary killers.
With this lineup, they would be able to succeed in assassinating the president.
However, they suffered heavy losses while trying to assassinate Link.
18 professional killers were killed and captured, but only three of them realized that something was wrong and withdrew early, thus saving their lives.
Although there are many professional killers in the underground world, the killing of more than a dozen people at one time is a big blow to the entire industry.
At the same time, the killer organization and the outside world have witnessed Link's courage and the strength of Blackwater, and they can't help but feel fearful.
In order to avoid greater losses, many assassin organizations announced that they would abandon the mission and no longer list Link as their target.
Some announced the suspension of the mission, asking the killers in Los Angeles to lie low and not act rashly.
After Harvey received the news, he suddenly became terrified and worried all day long.
"Jeffrey, I heard that Link's people have captured a lot of killers. Will those killers know our information and tell Link about this?"
When Harvey saw Epstein at the club, he grabbed his arm tightly, as if he was grabbing a lifeline.
"Harvey, why did you become like this?"
Epstein looked at Harvey in surprise.
It's not because Harvey's gaffe is disgusting.
But it was Harvey's current state that shocked him.
After not seeing Harvey for half a month, his hair had almost fallen out, his face had turned yellow, his eye bags and the skin on his cheeks had drooped, and he looked ten years older.
"Jeffrey, those killers have been caught, aren't you worried?"
Harvey asked, panicking.
"Why should you worry? I told you that we have no direct connection with the assassin organization, and they don't know our identities. Even if they know it was us, it doesn't matter. As long as we don't admit it, Link can't do anything to us. Don't forget that this is our race's territory. We have a powerful backer, and Link alone can't do anything to us."
Epstein pushed Harvey away in dissatisfaction.
In the past, Harvey acted decisively and ruthlessly, and he even dared to send assassins to kill Link, which made people think that he was a big shot. But now he has become like this, which is really disappointing.
Harvey was still worried. "Last time you said you were followed. Could it be Link's people? Could he have found something from you? What are you going to do?"
"I'm not sure, but there's no need to worry. Just treat them as paparazzi and do whatever they need to do. As long as there's no evidence, they can't do anything to me. Even if they find out something, it doesn't matter. Leave everything to the lawyers and see who has more connections in the legal community."
Epstein said nonchalantly.
After hearing Epstein's "bold words", Harvey's heart, which had been hanging for a long time, relaxed a little. He began to complain that Link was too cunning and too difficult to kill. So many killers came with sniper rifles and rocket launchers to kill him but failed. This man was too hateful.
"Link's performance this time was indeed unexpected."
Epstein also heard from news reports that Link used himself as bait to lure the killers into action, and found it incredible.
He didn't understand why this young billionaire dared to do this. Wasn't he afraid of death or worried about losing everything he had?
"If we fail to kill him this time, the assassin organization will probably retreat. What should we do?"
Harvey asked.
Epstein shook his head. "There's nothing we can do. You can't make the movie, and you can't kill Link even if you find someone to kill him. This kind of opponent is beyond our current ability to deal with. We can't kill him even if we continue to attack. It's better to wait a few years. In a few years, as long as Link's wealth shrinks or he encounters other failures and becomes a wounded giant, that will be our chance to take action."
"How many years?"
Harvey had a bitter expression on his face. With the current situation of Miramax Films, it wouldn't even be able to survive a year. By next year, he might go bankrupt and become a pauper again, and become the fat man who made women feel sick again.
He really didn't want to wait any longer.
"Jeffrey, can you invite Bill Gates, Buffett, Soros and others to help? They are rich and powerful, and they are also from the same tribe as us. Hollywood is our tribe's territory, and it is also our main position to publicize the superiority and tragic experience of our tribe. Everyone has a responsibility to safeguard the interests of our tribe."
Harvey asked expectantly.
Epstein thought for a moment and shook his head. "It's difficult. They are all entrepreneurs and capital tycoons with glamorous appearances. They pay great attention to their own image and reputation, which is also one of their invisible wealth. Therefore, they will not easily touch the dark side of society. It is unrealistic to let them deal with Link."
"I know they won't help find a killer to kill Link, but in terms of investment, can they work together to bring down Link's Flash Gold Capital? As long as Flash Gold Capital is shorted, Link will become a tiger without claws, and we can easily take him down."
Harvey clenched his fists, his expression very excited.
"It's hard to do. FlashGold Capital is a shareholder of Microsoft and Berkshire Hathaway. Link is a partner with Bill Gates and Buffett. They can't easily fall out. In addition, FlashGold Capital is now a large investment company with a market value of more than 20 billion US dollars. Even if Bill Gates and Buffett join forces, they can't bring down such a company, so forget it."
"Damn it, this won't work and that won't work. Are we just going to watch Link take away our territory and our public opinion?"
"Xavi, don't get excited, things are not that bad, we still have a chance."
"Opportunity? Where is the opportunity? You guys are only concerned with making money. You make so much money that you can't even protect your own territory. It's like Germany 50 or 60 years ago, allowing the enemy to run wild on our territory, embezzle our wealth, and massacre our people."
Harvey suddenly stopped and smiled coldly, "I bet you will regret it one day."
After saying that, Xavi staggered to his feet and left the club.
Epstein looked at his back, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched.
——
The case of Link being stabbed in a cafe caused a sensation in the United States after being exaggerated and spread by the media.
The public security situation in Los Angeles has once again been questioned by the media. The public suggested that government departments should step up efforts to improve public security, strictly control the circulation of heavy weapons, and create a more harmonious and stable living environment for residents.
In addition, the competition between Hollywood film companies was also put on the table for discussion by the media.
The Los Angeles Times believes that the rise of Guess Pictures has put pressure on other film companies, and this pressure has increased after Guess successfully acquired MGM.
Although the overall volume of the North American film market has been on an upward trend, with the total box office increasing from more than 5 billion US dollars to more than 6 billion US dollars, the box office revenue of the six major film studios and other small and medium-sized film companies has not increased significantly.
There's ample evidence that the majority of Hollywood's box office revenue goes to -- guess what -- MGM.
Mainstream public opinion believes that the masterminds behind several assassination attempts on Link are most likely senior executives in the film industry, who are trying to use this method to defeat "Guess What"-MGM Pictures and regain the box office market.
There are also media outlets such as Playboy and Entertainment Weekly that claim several assassination attempts on Link were related to Link's girlfriends.
Since Lin Ke entered the entertainment industry in 1992, he has had many romantic encounters. Beautiful female stars in the industry have thrown themselves into his arms one after another, from those born in the 1950s to those born in the 1980s. As long as they are beautiful female stars, they all have relationships with him.
Some media joked that there are 1,000 most beautiful female stars in the world, 800 of whom are in Link's arms, and the remaining 200 are about to enter Link's arms.
This shows how lustful Link is.
In addition, because of his girlfriend, he also had conflicts with Tom Cruise, Richard Gere, Robert Downey Jr. and others.
Maybe someone couldn't stand Link's fickleness and wanted to snatch the "goddess" back from him, so they hired a killer to deal with him.
The famous director Quentin Tarantino also agreed with this speculation in a recent interview with ABC TV, claiming that Link's affair was enviable, and that all beautiful women would be attracted to Link after approaching him, and finally fall in love with him willingly.
Quentin envied Link's abilities even more than Link's film-making skills.
Quentin advises Link to stop being fickle and to keep more thoughts about other people, otherwise he will have more and more enemies in the future.
Some media also speculated that this incident might be related to Link's involvement in politics. Some people did not want him to continue supporting the Donkey Party, so they arranged for killers to kill him.
etc.
After the assassination was exposed, there was a lot of discussion about this news topic in the media. However, because Link had not responded, the popularity of this matter never reached its peak.
"We have rejected all interview invitations. We will remain silent and will not respond for now."
In the office, Link said to Liu Xiaoli after reading the document.
Liu Xiaoli nodded, understanding his thoughts. It was indeed difficult for them to respond to the assassination. No matter what happened or the reason for the assassination, it was not convenient to talk about it publicly.
Although Link is a victim, he is a billionaire, the king of the film industry, and a capital tycoon.
In the eyes of ordinary people, his assassination attempt must have been caused by him doing something bad and being retaliated by his opponents, which was his problem.
People will not sympathize with and support him just because he is a victim. Instead, some people will gloat over his misfortune.
The best way to deal with it is to let public opinion calm down as soon as possible.
Act as if nothing happened.
Afterwards, find a way to quietly deal with the mastermind behind the incident.
Don't let such private matters come to light.
So I won't accept any interviews and will remain silent, which will make it easier for them to deal with the things that come next.
"But we must also pay attention to the direction of public opinion and prevent the media from taking the opportunity to spread rumors and use public opinion to discredit me. They are best at doing this kind of thing."
There are Jewish financial forces behind the seven major media groups, and Hollywood originally belonged to the Jewish group's territory. Now it is shrouded by their power. The Jewish group is very likely to use the media to quietly discredit him and make him lose the support of the people.
Including the recent propaganda saying that he is lustful and greedy, monopolizes the market, made a fortune in the Asian financial crisis, and is deeply involved in politics. These may be their dirty tricks.
"I understand. You should be careful too. Don't run around if there's nothing to do. We'll go home together this afternoon."
"good!"
Link hugged the beautiful young woman with peach blossom eyes and kissed her passionately.
After Liu Xiaoli left, he continued to draw the storyboard script for the new movie "The Talented Mr. Ripley".
In the afternoon, agent Sam Haskell came to the company to discuss work, accompanied by a beautiful girl, who asked him to comment on his potential.
