Gotham Dark Godfather
Chapter 443 Zhou Hao’s layout (Thanks to @鸡tailscriptmasterball for tipping this book)
Hearing his butler's words, Bruce Wayne woke up from his meditation, turned around and said:
"The latest news in Gotham? Did you just hear it from the ladies at the banquet? Tabloid style? For example, who is the Birds of Prey rumored to be having an affair with?"
Alfred shook his head, narrowed his eyelids and said:
"Of course not, Master Bruce. In fact, there have been rumors circulating in circles recently that Mr. Zhou Hao of Arkham has recently fallen into financial problems and has reached the point of being insolvent."
Bruce Wayne frowned when he heard this, and said with some surprise:
"Zhou Hao? This cunning guy actually makes himself short of money?? But thinking about his recent expenses, he seems to have spent a lot on the orphanage. Combined with the recent implementation of the ban on Fengyue places, it seems that he really has no money. Money.”
Speaking of this, Bruce Wayne suddenly realized something and said thoughtfully:
"If this is really the case, those scofflaws who come to Gotham will probably be ready to take action against Zhou Hao. Having no money can be so troublesome sometimes!"
The reason why I say this is largely because Batman knows Zhou Hao's situation very well. As a new upstart in Gotham, Zhou Hao has almost climbed up by stepping on the snobbishness of the past.Apart from anything else, the tycoons in the media industry and the remnants of the underworld force Falcone will not forget Zhou Hao's hatred so quickly.In the past, it was his power, but now with Zhou Hao's lack of financial resources, these guys are bound to take action.
"We can't just sit idly by, Alfred! Notify Lucius immediately and ask him to prepare a sum of funds, the highest-standard kind, and it must be cash. It must be completed as quickly as possible." Bruce Wayne said seriously.
After all, the funds involved are too large, and bank transfers will be delayed for a long time.Bruce Wayne also thoughtfully converted it into cash, ensuring that Zhou Hao could use it as soon as possible, which can be said to be a thoughtful consideration.
"Okay, sir, I'll do it right away!" Butler Alfred said calmly: "At the same time, let's inform Mr. Zhou Hao and let him be ready to receive the money."
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Bruce Wayne subconsciously replied:
"No, wait a little longer, there is no need to tell him so early."
"Uh? Is that so? Master, are you planning to give Zhou Hao a surprise?" Alfred said with his eyelids raised.
Bruce Wayne shook his head and replied with a serious face:
"I'm not a three-year-old child. How could I do such a boring trick? In fact, if Zhou Hao was short of money, he should come to ask me for help. I mean, this looks more formal and won't let us His kindness became like charity. Perhaps this way Zhou Hao would be more accepting."
Alfred listened quietly to his master's story and did not speak immediately.As a person who is familiar with Bruce Wayne's character, he is very clear about his master's true intentions and has not tried to defeat him.Instead, he nodded quietly and said:
"As you wish, Master Bruce!"
Wayne Manor here did not act immediately. Early the next morning, major media outlets in Gotham reported Luther's remarks at the press conference, especially his evaluation of Zhou Hao. The level caused a big explosion.
After all, to be praised like this by the richest man in Metropolis, it seems that no one in the history of Gotham has ever achieved it.Combined with Zhou Hao and Bruce Wayne's habit of fighting whenever they meet.People will inevitably speculate that Zhou Hao of Arkham has some hidden secrets with these wealthy families, so that inexplicably, it seems that the two richest wealthy families in the United States are all related to Zhou Hao.
As one of the pigs in the incident, Zhou Hao, who was hiding in Arkham Asylum and hatching conspiracies, had to be exposed to the spotlight and faced waves of interviews.In the end, Zhou Hao, who was so annoyed, even held a press conference to clarify his attitude.
"I don't know Lex Luthor. The reason why I chose to invest in his company is purely for business purposes! After all, it is wrong to be bald. After all, people like him cannot easily compromise and admit defeat. When he comes out of prison, he will definitely The tribulations of the past turned into motivation and then soared into the sky. What I value is the development prospects of this group, nothing more than that."
"Cooperation? There won't be one for the time being. After all, I am mainly engaged in the entertainment industry and have no connection with this kind of high technology. But I am not opposed to visiting Luther in the metropolis at the right time. Maybe we can have more fun on the golf course. topic."
This diplomatic nonsense dismissed the curious reporters, but what Zhou Hao didn't expect was that the chain reaction triggered by this incident would be something he had not expected.
Almost immediately after Luther's press conference ended, many people came to his office carrying large sums of money. They didn't say anything, just wanting to discuss cooperation with him.Some even omit the word cooperation and just tell themselves to take the money and spend it. However, if there is any cooperation with Lex Group in the future, please take care of it.
Zhou Hao was quite surprised by this chain effect, but he didn't think too much about it.He simply took advantage of his increased popularity during this period and took the opportunity to invite all branch directors in Gotham to have tea at his country villa.
Speaking of this villa, it used to be the place where Falcone was executed, and the Penguin Cobot was once under house arrest here.Now that Falcone has left for Chicago, this place has been taken over by Zhou Hao, and he is using it to entertain guests for the first time today.
Although Zhou Hao is no longer the chief of the branch, his position is similar to that of Chief Inspector Gordon, and he has helped the Gotham Police Department solve messy problems many times.Therefore, in terms of prestige, it is enough to invite branch directors from various places to come to gatherings.Luther's recent praise has made Zhou Hao's influence even higher, and no one is willing to refuse his invitation.
Looking at the familiar country villa, the branch chiefs from various places were in a daze. This was how Falcone used to treat them. Unexpectedly, the current owner here was still not someone he could refuse.
"I called everyone here this time because I want to talk about the recent situation." Zhou Hao said straight to the point without any nonsense: "I seem to have heard some bad voices, saying that Gotham's police are getting worse and worse. , it is said that the higher-ups have already made plans to kick us all out, I don’t know what you think.”
Having said this, Zhou Hao threw a lot of information he had promised in advance on the table. It was clear that he had asked the Riddler to input the information into the computer before.Basically, these are the shameful things that the branch directors of various branches usually do.
"I don't know if the news circulating is true, but one thing is for sure, that is, there are people behind the scenes who really want to deal with us!" Zhou Hao said righteously.
"The latest news in Gotham? Did you just hear it from the ladies at the banquet? Tabloid style? For example, who is the Birds of Prey rumored to be having an affair with?"
