Chapter 206: Another Appointment
Li Xinhou did not stay too long. He got what he wanted from An Rushong and then left happily. He did not even take the file with him, but left it on the coffee table in An Rushong's office.
Only after sending Li Xinhou away did An Rushong open the file bag, take out the files inside, and read them carefully.
The information in the file was very detailed. In addition to what Dong Gaojun had said, there was also the address of the hospital where Dong Gaojun was staying and his home address. To be honest, if An Rusong wanted to kill and silence the witnesses, this file alone would be enough to destroy all the information currently held by the police, thus completely burying the case.
But An Rusong had no such intention at all. Although he was not a lawyer, he could see from the file that the police did not have any substantial information except Dong Gaojun's report. With these things in the file, Li Xinhou could not even summon An Rusong unless he could pry open Zhang Minbo's mouth and make him change his confession so that the two victims' statements would be consistent.
Again, although prosecutors in the Republic of Korea have great power and the country is dark, the rule of law can still play a big role here. At least some people dare not go too far. Just like Li Xinhou, although he is the prosecutor in charge of investigating this case, he dare not take any measures against corporate presidents like An Rusong without solid evidence.
Therefore, as long as An Rushong was sure that Li Xinhou could not produce sufficient evidence to convict him, he could completely ignore the other party's face. He also did not have to worry about what kind of threat Dong Gaojun's survival would bring to him.
But then again, Li Xinhou is a prosecutor after all. If he can bribe him with money, why would An Rusong be stingy with that little money? As a reborn person, An Rusong has never regarded money as important. In his eyes, money is a tool, a tool to gain more privileges and benefits for him, rather than a piece of data to show off his own dignity.
In An Rushong's opinion, bribing a prosecutor is a relatively valuable thing, even if this prosecutor is just an ordinary prosecutor. At most, it can be regarded as using a pet. Nowadays, even if you raise a pet dog, doesn't it cost money?
Look at the Samsung Group. They have set up a large-scale team specifically for bribery, and all kinds of bribery methods are emerging one after another. Are they stingy with money?
Therefore, if a person wants to go as high as possible, he must broaden his horizons. Without a broad vision, how can he achieve great success?
After sending Li Xinhou away, An Rushong called the heads of the company's two programming groups to his office and held a brief meeting, mainly to inquire about the development progress of the new version.
Around eleven o'clock, I met with the financial staff arranged by DeFengJie.
After a period of work, Draper Fisher Jurvetson and Apple have completed their due diligence on NGN.
In fact, NGN's equity structure and investment structure are very simple. Before the first round of financing, the entire company had only two shareholders: An Rusong, who held absolute control, and Han Meiyan, who held 5% of the shares. Of these two shareholders, Han Meiyan, as the second largest individual shareholder, did not participate in the company's management.
In addition, NGN has no external investment and no debt of any kind. Its only expenses are the monthly server rental fees and network fees paid to Korea Telecom, as well as the rental fees for the company's properties.
Yes, the building currently used by NGN Company is only An Rushong’s personal asset, not an asset owned by NGN Company. Therefore, after completing the first round of financing and investment, as long as NGN Company does not move out, it will have to pay An Rushong the property rental fee on a monthly basis.
Furthermore, the company needs to pay salaries to its employees, as well as basic water and electricity bills, etc. These are all necessary expenses of the company and there is nothing to investigate.
As for the personnel issues, there is nothing to investigate. From top to bottom, there is no one who eats for nothing. Even Jiang Xiuyuan, who is like a vase, has her own work to do. The entire NGN company does not have the problem of redundant personnel. To be precise, NGN not only does not have the problem of redundant personnel, but the working group responsible for the entire prudent investigation even believes that NGN should further expand its staffing because the company's current human resource structure is not enough to support the subsequent development of the entire company.
In summary, after several days of evaluation, the due diligence team believes that the current status of NGN Company is healthy, even a little too healthy.
The investigation team's work has been completed. If nothing unexpected happens, they will leave Seoul and return to the United States early the day after tomorrow. An Rushong plans to host a banquet to entertain these Americans tomorrow night.
By the time the meeting with the financial staff ended, it was almost 11:30 in the morning. An Rushong said hello to Jiang Xiuyuan, then left the company and drove to Nanshan.
On the way to Nanshan, he called Wen Qihe again and told him that he had decided to buy the villa. He had already negotiated the price with the landlord and was preparing to sign the agreement in the next two days. At that time, he would first contact a cleaning company to clean the villa thoroughly, and then Wen Caiyuan and the others could officially move in.
In order to avoid appearing too hasty, An Rusong suggested that they change the contact address in the relevant publicity to the location of the villa. This way, it would not only be convenient for subsequent customers to contact them, but also show Master Wen's high-end style. It took less than half an hour for the car to drive to the parking lot under the Seoul Tower. When An Rusong got off the car, he saw Jin Mingxin standing in the square in front of the Seoul Tower, looking at this side with a smile on his face.
The woman was obviously dressed up carefully today. She was wearing a khaki windbreaker with her arms open, a black dress underneath, and a pair of creamy white pointed high-heeled boots on her feet.
It’s no wonder that this style of wearing a trench coat and a dress layered together really shows her unique temperament. Her whole body seems to exude an intellectual and mature beauty.
I have to admit that this woman is really talented in dressing herself up. Take Sun Manzhu for example. Whether in terms of age or appearance, Sun Manzhu is obviously more advantageous than this woman, but the latter is obviously not as good at dressing up as this woman. Therefore, in terms of temperament, Sun Manzhu is slightly inferior to this woman.
When getting off the car, An Rushong was holding an exquisite packaging bag in his hand. On the bag, the double C logo of "Chanel" was extremely eye-catching. This was a pair of ballet-style black shoes he bought specially from the specialty store. It was the latest autumn and winter model launched by "Chanel".
Seeing Jin Mingxin looking at him from afar, An Rushong put on a sunny smile, raised his arm and waved at the other party, then quickened his pace and trotted towards him.
"Mingxin, I'm so sorry I'm late," An Rushong said apologetically as he approached, "I'm sorry I kept you waiting."
He did not make excuses for his lateness. A man who makes excuses for himself when he does something wrong can hardly give a woman a sense of security. As the saying goes, "If you make a mistake, you must admit it; if you are beaten, you must stand at attention." A mistake is a mistake. No matter what the reason is, it cannot change the reality of the mistake. Therefore, people who make excuses for their mistakes are irresponsible people.
An Rushong now tries his best to show his good side in front of Jin Mingxin, so he is very careful.
"It's okay, Brother Rusong, I just arrived too," Jin Mingxin called out "Brother Rusong" very naturally. At the same time, his eyes naturally fell on the packaging bag in the other's hand.
"Ah, I bought this especially for you," An Rusong hurriedly handed the package to the other party and said with a smile, "I just don't know if you like it. Well, just consider it as a souvenir from me."
"This" Jin Mingxin wanted to say "too expensive", even though she hadn't seen what was in the bag, she knew it was not cheap just by looking at the double "C" logo. But for some reason, she swallowed the words back when they were on her lips. She felt that this gift might be just an ordinary souvenir in the eyes of the other party. If she said it was too expensive, wouldn't it make her look too poor?
An Rusong pretended not to notice the other person's hesitant expression. He naturally took a step forward, put his arm around the other person's arm, and said with a smile, "Let's go in quickly. I feel like the temperature has dropped again today. I feel cold all over when I stay outside."
Jin Mingxin let out a sigh of relief. Not only did she not mind the other party's overly intimate behavior, but she even felt secretly happy about it.
However, she then thought of the fact that An Rushong had just said that he had bought this gift specially, so it seemed that the reason he was late this time was to buy this gift - he was truly a considerate and gentlemanly man.
An Rushong certainly hoped to give the other party such an illusion. In fact, this gift was not bought by him today, but if he didn't explain, how would the other party know?
"I specially reserved the seat we sat in before today," An Rusong said on the way to the main entrance of Seoul Tower. "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to reserve it, but I was so lucky that the seat was not booked when I called. Otherwise, I would have had to work harder."
There was a hint of boasting hidden in his words: even if the seat was booked, he would be able to get it, which undoubtedly showed that he was not only rich, but also had ample connections.
